WHAT THE PAPERS ARE SAYING.

New York World: In view of the record
another Secretary of State named for po-
litical reasons.
Louisville Courier-Journal: Anyhow,
do we not owe something of moral influence
to the world in which we live? Must civili-
cation go to hell with never word from US?
New York Sun: The American people
now know how much they have to be thank
full for that William j. Bryan was not nom
mated a fourth time for President of the
United States.
The following paragraph from the Chica-
60 Examiner of the Goth reads good to us:
lone of the strange happenings of the
week has been the offerings of new wheat
from Mississippi and Louisiana to the
Northern markets, and while these offer
ings have only been of few cars, the
grade has been excellent, and the price
paid was considerably above the market"
Coast Beacon: A great many papers are
proclaiming that there is much important
legislation for the next session of our Leg
islature to enact. We fear they are wrong.
The best service the next session can rem
der the people of Mississippi would be to
repeal about one-half the impracticable
and useless statutes that now burden our
law books, many of which are enforced
only spasmodically to suit the prejudice or
whm of some official.
Baltimore Sun: Mr.. Bryan tells US that
he will rest for two weeks; that no Secre-
tary of State has ever worked as hard as
he has ever worked as hard as he has done,
and that he has richly earned rest. And
nobody will grudge it to him; in fact,
everybody will be glad if he rest for twelve
months instead of two weeks. Come, Mr..
Bryan, treat yourself generously. Give
yourself a real long rest. And, oh, be
mercful and give the public long rest
too! 1t is awfuly, awfully tired.
The following from the Mobile Registe,
is as applicable to Louisiana as it is to Ala
bama: "The State is the largest and most
important business we have, and all of US
are stockholders, paying assessments anc
supposed to be receiving benefits. There
is no good reason why the States business
should not be run in a business way as
carefully and as successfully as that of E
railroad company, a bank, Il department
store or any other private or semi-privatt
establishment. We have to learn that office
under the State Government is not design
} ed primarily to be a reward of politica
activity or for recognition of men whose
greatest claim to public notice is their abil
ity to make stump speeches, but it is TO
the transaction of business belonging t.
the people and strictly for the people,
benefit"

large number of cat and buffalo fish and a

The Resignation Of Bryan.

In extracts from various editorials pub
lished in the Banner of June 18th Mr..
Bryan is characterized by such expressions
as these: ''Egotist;" "total ignorance of
the demands of patriotism and common
sense" "he has never before reached such
heights-or depths-of mischievous, mex
cusable and self-righteous demagogy;"
she has eclipsed all his former record for
mischievous blundering;" she has given
up place for which his fantastic unfitness
has long been but too apparent; she sulk-
ed and ran array, when honor and patriot
ism should have kept him at his post"
''whatever his motive, whether political or
n1ercenory, his action has been altogether
indefensible and ignoble;'' he has capital
lied defeat and made an asset of preten-
sion," etc.
When President Wilson chose Mr.. Bryan
as his Secretary of State, he knew the man
we'll. When he wrote his letter accepting
Bryan's resignation he knew him better,
after months of further association as
| friend, and member of the Cabinet. In
that letter of acceptance the President said,
among other things: Qtalics mine.) 81
accept your resignation only because you
insist upon its acceptance; and | accept it
with much more than deep regret with a
feeling of personal sorrow. Orr judg-
ments huye accorded in practically every
matter of official duty and public policy,
until now. Your support of the work OF
the administration has been generous and
loyal beyond praise; your derotiom to tile
duties of your great Office has been
an example to the rest of us; you have
earned our affection, admiration and friend
ship. Iyield to your desire only be-
cause l must, and wish to bid you God
speed in the parting"
Thus President Wilson.
Did he make a mistake, and is he mis-.
taken to-day in his estimate of the man:
Really, as William Jennings Bryan the fool
the egotist, the demagogue, the traitor
the coward, the hypocrite, Gas represented
in these editorials), or is he the Christian
gentleman and statesman, who, rather thar
sacrifice principle, chose to demit 81
honorable an office as that of Secretary o
State to this great government of ours?

FROM OUR STATE EXCHANGES.

Assumption Pioneer: Bryan's course
would not have been so petty if he had not
followed it up with an attempt to defend
his course at the expense of his country.
Shreveport Journal: President Wilson
has declined to enter into any discussion of
Mr.. Bryan's several resignation state
ments. And the balance of the country
is rapidly getting to feel the same way
about it.
Shreveport journal: 1t is now recalled
that away back yonder in 1907 Woodrow
Wilson expressed this sentiment: "Would
that we could do something, at once dig
nified and effective, to knock Mr.. Bryan
once and for all into cooked hat" And
here, in the middle of 1915, it has come to
pass.
Mansfield Enterprise: The government
of Germany seems to have convinced itself
that the Lusitania was an armed war ship,
and that the babies that were murdered,
particularly the girl babies, were the gun
crew. However. the old Scotch school
teacher in the White House don't see it
that way, and seems determined to stop the
slaughter of the innocent, in which posi-
ton he is sustained by every American
that has red blood in his veins, instead of
sour buttermilk.
New Orleans Times Picayune: The
Supreme Court of the United States has,
by unanimous decision, knocked out the
''grandfather clause of the Oklahoma
Constitution, borrowed from that of Louisi-
ana and followed by number of other
Southern States, and it is presumed that
all of these will be affected by the Oklaho-
ma decision. The same suffrage qualifica-
ton had been adopted in the town election
in Annapolis, Md, and that also has been
declared by the Supreme Court unconsti-
tutional and of no effect.
