BRYAN AS SECRETARY OF STATE

For twenty-eight years William
Jennings Bryan has been a preacher
Of progressive political doctrines and
the leader OF the opposition to prac-
dcal politics OF the Republican school;
but he has never occupied a position Of
executive responsibility nor had the
opportunity TO put into practice any Of
the theories ne has so eloquently and
earnestly advocated. AS a member Of
President Wilson's cabinet. he will
now be put TO the test and the eyes
Of all America and of the world are
upon him, watching to see IL he Is a
constructive statesman with the initi-
alive, the executive ability and the
large grasp Of affairs to originate and
carry out well defined foreign
policy. He has proven himself a
great leader OF the opposition, a
greater advocate of the people
against the exactions Of the privileged
classes and greatest OF all as a critic
Of the policies Of the Republican
party But II is one thing TO criticise
what other men have done and
another and more difficult thing to
originate and carry out a policy that
cannot be successfully citicised. In
his chosen sphere OF political activity
Mr.. Bryan has proven himself to be
great and he has this recognition
from men OF all political faiths. but
ne now has to make a new record un-
der entirely lifferent conditions amidst
hew and strange surroundings. II ne
succeeds, and at the end OF his term
OF service az Secretary OF State. Is
admitted by friend and foe TO have
made as great cabinet officer as
ne was a leader # the opposition. his
place iu history IS one OF the three
or four statesmen OF superlative abil-
tty win be secure. The test to which
ne will be put is the severest that
any public man has been met, for of
him greater wisdom, greater ability
and greater achievements will be ex-
pected and demanded. There are
several million men in America who
have absolute confidence in Mr.. Bryan
and no one could make them entertain
the thought OF his failure to measure
up to any requirement. but there are
others. and the writer IS one OF the
aumber, who. while having great ad-
miration for Mr.. Bryan's ability and
admitting his qualities OF leadership.
still entertain some doubt OK his fit
ness for the place he now couples and
will wait until the record is all in be-
fore acclaiming MIN as the greatest
Of all Secretaries OF State.

Attorney Nichols Gives Governors
Reasons for Granting Pardon

Spartanburg, March 4.-On behalf
Of Governor Blease, Samuel J. Mich
oils, Esq, today delivered to William
III. Mills parole convict, a docu-
ment granting him a full pardon.
Mills was convicted Of murder in
Cherokee County in 1907, and sem
fenced to life Imprisonment. He re-
Gently made an affidavit in which he
described the harsh treatment ac-
corded prisoners in the Pententiary.
Mr.. Nichols said the Governor par
doned Mills because he feared an ef-
fort would be made to provoke him
to violate the terms Of his parole so
that he would be returned to the PEN
itentiary and the Penitentiary authori-
ties would have an opportunity to
wreak vengeance on him for his affi-
davit.
One Of the conditions of Mills pa
role was, that he should never live
again with his wife, whose alleged un-
faithfulness was said To have caused
the murder.

Private kilograms received here
from Mexico City say that Huerta has

to proceed to Hermozillo and subdue
the uprising there. Messages from
Hermozillo say that Gen. Obregon has
been appointed commander of the
constitutionalists. in rebellion against
the Mexico City government.
The former Maderistas continued
mobilization of troops at Colonia
Morelos. below this point. Rebels
camped ten miles to the south declare
they will make an attack tomorrow
morning OH Aqua Prieta, the Mexican
border town opposite Douglas. This
news was brought here late today by
courier from the rebel camp, where
500 Maderistas under Gen Samaniege
and Gen. Cordova are located. De-
sertions have depleted the Aqua Prieta
garrison to 100 men and Gen. Ojera
finds it impossible to get help from
the interior.
In all 700 men and several machine
guns of the Ninth United States cav
airy. who have had two brushes with
Mexican troops over the line, are
stretched along the border tonight.
By order Of the war department, a
guard of the negro troopers has been
placed at the Douglas water plant.
This was requested by the local resi-
dents Nearly all of the Mexican popu-
lation here are sympathizers with the
Maderistas.

from Washington TO return the fire
of Mexicans over the line only when
necessary TO protect American lives

Taft Approves Bill Creating Tenth
Cabinet Place.

Washington, March 4.-President
Taft today signed the bill creating a
department Of labor with a Cabinet
portfolio. President Wilson's nomina-
ton for this position will be William
p. Wilson, now a retiring Representa-
tive in Congress, from Pennsylvania.
In signing the bill the President Left
with Congress a memorandum express
ing the conviction that nine depart
ments are enough to conduct the Gov
ernment. He said
Il sign this bill with considerable
hesitation, no, because I dissent from
the purpose of Congress to create a
department of labor, but because =
think nine departments are enough
for the proper administration of the
Government and because 1 think that
no new department ought to be Great
ed without a reorganization Of all de-
partments in the Government and a
redistribution of the bureaus betweegk
them. The distribution Of bureaus
between the existing departments is
far from being economical or logi-
CAL and if there is one thing that is
needed in the present situation it is
a reorganization Of our Government
on business principles and with a view
to economy in the administration Of
the regular governmental machinery.
I forbear, however, to veto this
bill, because my motive in doing so
would be misunderstood. There is no
provision in the bill itself for a rec
ommendatiOn by the head of the new
department as to the reorganization
of bureaus that may itself lead to a
general reorganization which is so
much to be desired"

LONDON PAPERS PRAISE WILSON
Pay Tribute to Lofty Tone of Address,
But Seem TO Think He May Not be
Able to Translate His IdeaIism Into
Ideas.

London. March 5.-While paying
a tribute OF admiration to the earnest
and lofty tone Of President Wood
row Wilson's address the London
morning papers express doubt that he
will succeed in translating it into
practical politics.
The Daily Telegraph says: "Presi-
dent Wilson has plucked the string Of
pure idealism whose sound may be
pleasant in the ears of his country
men, But if congress is to join in the
work of reform it will probably be in
response to irresistible movements in
the nation itself rather than in de-
ference to the desire expressed by
the president. Whatever happens.
however, his presidential term is GER
tain to be a remarkable and vivid
period in the modern development of
the United States"
The Morning Post says: 1T re-
mains to be seen whether President
Wilson is a great statesman. But at
least it may be said that his address
has statesmanlike qualities. Its thesis
is no less remarkable because not
pugnaciOus. 1t strikes a new note in
a h
is called social reform
The Graphic says: Every thought
full man will wish the president good
luck. Echoes of his noble address
will bring to this old world of ours, in
its mad pursuit, intentional unchari-
tableness and bloated schemes Of mill
tary holocaust, welcome message of
better things and manIier strivings."
The United States must be heartily
congratulated upon having such
true Democrat and such a fearless
statesman al its head, says The Daily
Chronicle, ''and when some Of the
greatest nations seemed to be making
mockery of humanity his clarion
call should echo far beyond the Amer
lean shores"
The Daily News says: president
Wilson has set up a fine ideal and,
like brave and upright man, has de-
liVered himself into the hands Of his
judges by giving them a measure by
which to test his loyalty to his coun-
try and his fitness to undertake it,"
The Express describes Mr.. Wilson's
address as that Of an academic pro-
fessor called upon to deal with prac-
cical politics, full of noble sound, but
difficult to tell what it may signify.
The Daily Mail thinks the presi-
dents address conveys a somewhat
too black impression Of modern Amer
lean life and conditions. 1T deals
chiefly in generalities," says the pa
per- and makes no very specific pro-
pOsals. But one fact appears clearly
that the era of free competition is
ended in America and the day Of gov

mage, According to Report From
Bliss.
Washington. March 5.-Mexican
troops were responsible for the latest
border fight near Douglas, Ariz, with
troops Of the Ninth cavarly by firing
the first shot, according to a report
today from Brig. Gen. Bliss. He said
Col. Guilfoyle reported that an
armed body Of Mexicans, apparently
YaquiS, moved out of Auga Prieta
yesterday morning, deployed and fired
few shots at a detached post about
1000 yards south Of the camp on the
boundary.
An American machine gun replied
with five shots and the Mexicans re-
tired toward Auga Prieta. Col. Gull
foyle makes no mention of any cas-
ualties but says he has two troops
with machine gun on observation
at the points where the trouble oc-
CURED. He says no cause is known
for the attack as no provocation Of
any kind was given ~ the American
soldiers.
Gen. Bliss reports that he has in
structed Col. Guilfoyle, in case Of
further attack, not to return the fire
unless it is necessary to protect the
lives on the American side. He also
has cautioned him to keep his men
under cover as far as possible so as
not to invite hostile acts from ire
sponsible parties.
Detailed reports which have reach
ed the state department Of the first
collision between Amrican troops and
Mexicans near Douglas make it ap-
pear that this was the work Of Mad
eristas and that while the Mexican
federal troops were not at first in
volved, they were in the end drawn
into the long range musket duel.
