Tb. New Administration

'I read in The Age-Herald TINS MORN
ing an interesting Washington special in
which 1t was poi7Hed out in effect that
Secretary of State Bryan was not as
much a part of the administration as
the head of the state department usually
is.'' said Samuel B. Harland of New
York.
According to the correspondent. the
way that Mr.. Bryan seems to be sighted
was causing comment in political cir
cles I predicted as soon as the new
cabinet was formed that Mr.. Bryan would
not remain in the Presidents official
family longer than six months.
Il voted the democratic ticket last No
vember but I am no partisan. In the JIG
years [ have been voting l have cast
my ballot once for the republican presi-
Dental ticket and once for republican
state ticket. But I take an interest in
politics and | never could see why Mr..
Wilson felt constrained to make Mr..
Bryan his Secretary of State. Mr.. Bryan
is an able man and I think he is very
high-minded man, but I doubt whether
he is temperamentally suited for diplo-
macy. 1t occurs to me- however, that Sc
long as Mr.. Bryan is Secretary of State
the President should allow him to an
nounce all policies pertaining to diplo-
matte affairs.
In many respects Mr.. Wilson is max
ing an excellent President, but he seems
too much inclined to want to run the
whole administration himself. He Is dip
ping too much into details No sue
cessful executive in any big business
corporation attempts to handle details.
The head of any large business who tries
to run the whole thing without delegat-
ing authority is sure to be a failure.
President Wilson did a good thing when
he shut out all applicants for office and
had them look to the departments; but
he should not undertake to do too much
announcing.
Il do not think any i'll feeling win be
engendered between Mr.. Wilson and Mr.
Bryan but ] stick to my prediction"

THE MAN OF COURAGE


THE MAN OF COURAGE
A man to be great
Must battle with fate,
Must never bow down in defeat;
Though rugged lfe's paths
Through tempest and wrath,
In seasons of cold and of heat.
--Birplingham Herald
A man to be wise
Must swat all the files
Must never fan out at the plate;
Though pestered bit,
He must land with hit,
And swat it straight over the gate.

Col. John Jacob Astor, who perished in
the sinking of the Titanic on April Is, 1912,
left a gross estate of ss7,216.es1 and net
estate of ss5. s4o9le. according to the Off
cial schedules turned in by expert ap-
praisers. on which the state transfer tax
appraiser will base his report. They show
an Increase of nearly sl50o0.0oo over any
other previous detailed account of Colo

several interesting revelations as to the
nature and extent of Colonel Astors hold
ings. The schedules show also for the
first time the amounts of Colonel Astor's
ante-nuptial settlement upon his first
wife, Mrs. Alva Willing Astor, and his
second wife, Mrs. Madeline Force Astor.
These settlements were for life, and on
the death of the benehciaries they will
go into his residuary estate. The proper

woIseley on lee


"rhe late Field Marshal Viscount
Robert r. Lee" said the son OF vet
eran "and many persons are now hav-
ing the opportunity of reading for the
first time the letter which Wolseley
wrote from the war office. London,
under date of December 5, 1888, to a
Mobile lady whose name is not dis
closed. Wolseley as young lieutenant
was detailed by the British war office
to proceed to America and observe the
campaigns inside of the Confederate
lines. Properly accredited as he was
he was Hospitality received by the Con-
federate government at Richmond. and
was attached part of the time to the
headquarters of the army of northern
Virginia.
'In the letter referred to Wolseley
wrote disparagingly of General Grant,
whom many southerners regarded as a
great and good man because of his
magnanimous spirit and his unfeigned
courtesy to Lee at the surrender.
Wolseley's letter is in part as follows:
My Dear Miss s.: I am very grateful
for your kind letter and for the valu-
able autographs it contains. I have
long been collecting the letters of en-
inent people. but have had much diff
Guilty in obtaining those of the great
men on your side of the Atlantic. /
have only known two heroes in my
life, and Gen. r. T.. Lee is one of them,
so you can well understand how I value
one of his letters. ! believe that when
time has calmed down the angry pas
sion of the north General Lee will be
accepted in the United States as tho
greatest general you have ever had and
second as patriot only to washington
himself. Stonewall Jackson / only knew
slightly. His name will live forever,
also, in American history when that OF
Mr.. U. S. Grant has been long forgot
ten. Such, at least, is my humble opin-
ion of those men when viewed by an
outside student of military history, who
has no local prejudice. I am glad 20
hear that my much valued friend. Mrs.
L., is we'll and happy. She was o-.e of
the brightest and most lovable women
/ have ever known. Please remember
me to her affectionately should you
soon write to her."

BRYAN AGAIN
DEF|ES HIS
CRITICS
Declares He'll Lecture Whenever
Advisable or Necessary-Fixes
Profits at $4,000.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.-Declar
ing he has not altered his plans AM
intends to lecture whenever he deem
it desirable or necessary, Secretar,
of State Bryan to-day issued the fol
lowing statement:
This evening is the last Of the
Chautauqua lectures for the sea-
son. The total income from the
Chautauqua lectures this year is
little over $1,000. The net re-
ceipts, after taking out expenses.
are somewhat over $500.
The number of whole week
days which have been used for
the lectures is, according to my
recollection, seven.
The remainder Of the lectures
we're delivered at places near
enough to Washington to enable
me to leave here in the afternoon.
sometimes as late as o'clock.
l would not assume that the
public was interested in the de
tails were it not for the fact that
the representative of a few of
the newspapers have regarded it
as matter of great importance.
The criticism that has been di-
rected against my lecturing is no
more bitter than that which l
have encountered during other
times, and for other things during
my connection with politics.
No man should enter public life
if he objects to criticism, and he
can not stay in public life if he
permits criticism to turn him
from doing what he thinks to be
right. He must decide his duty
for himself, and be answerable
to the public for any mistakes
that he makes.
| regard !eCturing as an entire
ly legitimate field. I lectured be-
fore | was nominated for Presi-
dent. | lecture between cam
paigns. ! shall continue to lee
-. al ! shall not believe that
any person whose opinion is
worth having viii think the less
of me for so doing.

for the present.

Jesse Perry. the Governors private
secretary.
During the time have been here
I have never seen such a demand fol
pardons," said Colonel Perry. There
have been a dozen applications a day
There have been scores of callers
Despite the fact that many of them
have hopeless cases, they are hanging
on with determination that must
indeed make it unpleasant for the
Governor. His policy of giving every
one a hearing must be deeply appre-
ciated by everyone who sees him, but
it certainly is working a hardship on
him. l do not believe there is a buster
man in the State than Governor Sla-
ton"
