NO, indeed, 1t Isn't strange to anyone who
knows that Bryan offered to buy from Japan
some of her historic relics.
1t has not been the custom for United
States officials to strip their offices of the
furniture on leaving Office.
To take away chair upon which one has
sat in the Cabinet, and replace it with new
one, is silly enough-but even that act of
self-Worship has never extended beyond the
White House
Taft may have carried away has chair, be-
cause it was made to order, and no one else
could use it; but [ never heard that Cleve-
land, Harrison, or Roosevelt dismantled
the Mansion when their terms expired.
[ know that Senators and Representatives
did not take away their desks. and chairs In
the 90's; and If they do it now, they're
mighty sly about it.
The fact that no other Secretary of State
ever rifed the office Of the desk, is proved
by the fact that the same desk was there
when Bryan came IN, that had been there
ever since the days Of Abraham Lincoln.
1t acas there for Bryan to tahe, AND he
TOOK IT.
Nobody had any legal right to sell it to
him, to barter it to him, or to give it to him.
He himself bartered the old desk to him
self for a new one.
The transaction looks Ngzy! It is law
IF Mr.. Bryan can use his office to swap
Government property to himself, for other
property that he buys, others can do it
and they aoiW.
Who passed upon the comparative value
of the two desks?
Who can give to the new desk the historic
value of the old one?
The next news we know, signing cavalry
officers will be swapping horses with the
Government; and In exchange for a first
class critter, the Government will get "a
genuine Mexican plug"
The Navy Admiral, on retiring will take
his flagship, and replace it with a new
One
The Army officer, on resgning, will take
the flag he followed in battle, and in barter
will give the Government a new piece Of
bunting.
Possibly the keeper of the United States
Capitol buildings and grounds will, on quit
ting, take away that half-naked statue Of
George Washington, and replace it with a
new bronze, dressed all the way up.
When Champ Clark ceases to be Speaker,
will he tear out the marble rostrum, and put
in new one?
Let us. hope he will be content with the
gael, which was presented to him by ardent
admirers
us 1t strange that he as fond Of it?"
Surely not. But then, you see, the Gov
eminent is fond of it, too.
And it belongs to the Government, not
to Mr.. Bryan.
If w. J. B. had any sense of humor, he
would not talk of those Peace Treaties, at
this particular time.
Peace treaties amt quoted above par at
present.
Every nation that signed those amicable
compacts went to fighting one another like
melee before long it will be on account Of
