BRYAN INDICATES FOREIGN
POLICY OF NEW ADMIN
lSTRATON.

washington, March 6.-Secretary
Bryan of the state department gave
to the public today the first official
statement as to his views on the ma
tonal position of the United States
lie did not go into n detailed discus
sion of foreign relations, preferring to
coniine himself to a general intlma-
ton of his attitude. For this pur-
pose ne used an abstract from a
speech he delivered nearly 13 years
ago. The secretary's statement fol-
lows :.
Il do not care to speak of our for
eign relations, or of our nations po-
sition In relation to any particular
nation or question but my views on
our national position are expressed
in the closing words of the speech
which l delivered at indianapolis
August s, 1900. These words show
that / am in hearty acord with Pres
ident Wilson in his desire to promote
international peace and good will:
L can conceive of q national des-
tiny surprising the glories of the pres
ent and the pasta destiny which
meets the responsibilities of today and
measures up to the possibilities Of the
future. Behold a republic, resting Sc
curely upon the foundation stones
quarried by Revolutionary patriots
from the mountain of eternal truth
republic applying in practice and
proclaiming to the world the self
evident propositions that all men are
created equal; that they are endowed
by their creator; that governments are
constituted among men to secure their
rights and that governments derive
their just powers from the consent of
the governed. Behold a republic in
which civil and religious liberty slim
ulate all to earnest endeavor and i'm
which the law restrains every hand
uplifted for a neighbor's injury-a
republic in which every citizen is a
sovereign but in which no one cares
or dares to wear a crown.
Behold Il republic standing erect
while empires all around are bowed
beneath the weight of their own arm
ament--a republic whose flag is loved
while other flags are only feared. Be-
hold republic solving the problems
OF civilization and Fastening the com
ing of an universal brotherhood-a
rcDUN"" which shakes thrones and
"'s''.''' ur stocracies by its silent ex
'mr. .Eo lives light and inspiration
.I ''u.. - sit i'm darkness. Behold
1 republic e'adually but surely becom-
ing the supreme moral factor in the
worlds progress and the accepted ar
bitter Of the worlds disputes-a repub-
lie whose history, like the path Of the
just is the shining light that shineth
more and more unto the perfect
day"
This was Mr.. Bryan's answer TO q

cred at the department intent upon
learning definitely what changes, if
any the administration will make in
the policy of the government regard

GRADES IN WOMEN'S WORK

A woman witness before the senate
investigating committee says that
among women workers stengraphers
hold the highest rank. Following these,
in a descending order, are department
store girls. factory girls, mattresses
and, last of ALL domestic servants. And,
she asserts, it is women who have made
these caste distinctions, in which men
acquiesce.
If American women really wish to
take part in the public affairs of this
country and become the power for good
they might be, they will have to get
back to the democracy of the old Amer
lean family, before industrial develop
ment took thousands of women out of
the home. Historically, the factory girl
is the modern representative of Pris-
ella. spinning at her wheel. She is
producer, but no longer on an indi
vidualistic scale. The department store

The Social Club
1t IS a strange custom

1t is a strange custom that whenever and
wherever a public gambling house, known
to be such, and known to be conducted by PROBES
siona gamblers, men who have no other occupa-
tion which they ever follow, is raded by the police
the cry is always and invariably set up that it is
social club
This is not peculiar to San Francisco. Whether
it is Canfeld's in New York or Dave Argyle's here
it is always a social club, though Garfield
and Dave Argyle, both of whom are social and
genial enough, are professionals, though the pres
cnt tense should be changed to the past in Can
fields case, he was put out OF business as a
gambler in New York, just Argyle in Seat
tic before coming here.
A social club, a real social club is supposed to
be, as it were, temporary substitute for mans
home, place where he can have all the comforts
of home and can meet and entertain friends and
strangers if he has no other home or it may be
inconvenient for him at his home if he has one
AS rule social club is supposed to have reading
rooms, library lounging rooms, card and billiard
rooms, sleeping rooms, cafe and most of the con-
veniences in an up to date and modern club that
are found in a hotel.
Do the social clubs where gambling is carried
on ever have any of these? Not one as a rule
Occasionally social club will have bar Tex

for the purpose of keeping players in the club"
This social club" bunk put up by the profes-
sional gamblers and Chief White fools no one, un-
less perhaps it is the chief who prates about the
good fellows and business men who frequent
these social clubs"
The police have at last raded some three dozen
of these wonderful social clubs" What did they
find except gamblers, opportunity to gamble and
gamblers tools? The Call will be glad to print

LOBBY GOSSIP
Love and Curls

He has loved her ever since the days
when he sat behind her in the little
adobe schoolhouse. He played with
her bright yellow curls and when his
play was too rough he pacifled her
feelings with big red apples which
he admits he stole from the family
barrel. This budding affection grew
in his manly bosom as the years rolled
on, and she reciprocated. So. when he
popped the question a month ago the
wedding bells naturally followed in due
time.
They arrived at the Palace hotel yes
terday morning on their honeymoon.

6 top Exploiting the Indian

Secretary OF the Interior Lane proposes a
reorganization OF the bureau OF Indian af-
fairs looking to the speedy termination OF the
relation OF ward and guardian existing between
the Indian and the federal government.
The investment Of the Indian with the rights
and responsibilities OF independent citizenship is OF
the essence of Secretary Lanes scheme
He purposes to accomplish the desired end
through permanent commission fully empowered
to bring about the decentralization OF the admin
istration of Indian affairs.
In letter to Congressman Scott Ferris Of
Oklahoma Secretary Lane says
The greatest service we can do for the Indian
is to set him free. The Indian bureau should be
vanishing bureau"
No honest who is familiar with the meth
DDS which have characterized the administration
OF Indian affairs during the last two decades will
fail to agree with Secretary Lane on these two
major premises.
The methods OF the Indian bureau have been
at once farccal and corrupt. They have been en-
ployed to the detriment of the Indian and the gen
eral public. Both have been looted. The develop
ment OF the Indian has been retarded at the
expense of the Indian and the general public alike
Tens of thousands of Indians whose property
is under the control of the Indian bureau are bet
ter equipped to manage their own affairs than an
equal number of the immigrants from southern
Europe who come to America every year
Many of them have as much and no more In

bilitics.
1t is true that it is our ayowed policy to confer
citizenship automatically upon the Indian who for
sakes his tribal relations 1t is also true that the
efforts Of the Indian bureau have been exerted to
strengthen rather than to sever those relations
