Mr.. BRYAN on Neutrality.
tsbprph Cazette-Times

From the flttsburSn SahVtte-Aih
Secretary Bryan's communication to
Chairman Stone of the Senate commit
tee on foreign relations is valuable
both as a declaration of the American
policy with respect to neutrality and
for its readily comprehended Inter-
pretation of this governments attitude
toward specific incidents relating to or
alleged to be related to unneutrality.
While its publication may not dissi-
pate the dissatisfaction of sympathizers
with one or another of the belligerent
nations. 1t ought to go far to remove
misconceptions in the public mind The
claim that the United States should SO
modify it's application of the principle
of neutrality as to neutralize the ef-
fects vanishes before the governments
contention that its duty is complete
when neutrality is enforced alike as to
all. and that it rests with the belliger-
ents themselves whether one suffers
more than the other as Il result.

Witness Rockefeller.

John D. Rockefeller. jr.. has for some
DAYS occupied a position Of conspicu-
Gus prominence in his appearance be-
fore the federal industrial relations
commission in New York This body
has been inQuiring into the purposes
and resources of the Rockefeller Foun-
dation, an institution designed by its
founder for the promotion of philan-
thropic works. and the founders son
has been explaining its objects and
workings in a manner to arrest the at
tention of the whole country. He has
unauestionably made very favorable
impression for the breadth of his views
and the evidence he has given of SYM
nathy for the working classes. AS a
fitting climax to his appearance as
witness he has joined hands with
Mother" Jones, who has been a famil-
lar figure in labor troubles for years
and who was conspicuous in the Colo
RADIO strike involving the Rockefeller
properties during the past year. 1t is
possible that as 4 result of the meeting
of these two, practical measures for the
prevention of labor troubles in the
widely extended Rockefeller enter
prises will be inaugucated. This Will
be a remarkable accomplishment, which
will fully Justify the work of the in
dustrial relations commission, although
merely an incident of it's activity.
The manner in which the younger
Rockefeller appears as spokesman for
his father is wholesome sign of
a desire to get in touch with the peo-
nile. The elder Rockefeller has held
himself strictly aloof from the public
for years, making of himself somewhat
Of man of mystery. avoiding public
appearances and evadins processes de-
signed to effect his presence before ju-

June the Coquette.

Oh, June keeps on a-smiln an
a-dancin' through the year.
The woods are bleak an lonely an the
sky has lost its cheer:
But now an then sunbeam comes
a-sparklin' through the frost
An you hear a laughin' whisper-"Did
you think that I was lost?'
The wind an weather both behaved
unruly, so they did;
An June she took her roses an she
went away an hid.
But the sunshine on the river when
it's dancin' gay an bright
Reflects her smile an shows us she has
not forgot US quite.
When the air blows soft an balmy on
the February snow
An the buds upon the river have a
faint an subtle glow,
You know you dasn't trust 'en. Twill
be freezin' in a week;
It's June a-laughin' at us an a-playin'

Mr.. Bryan and Practical Politics.

The Jacksonville. Fla. Times Union
Gays with reference TO the Wick letter:
'Mr. Bryan's letter is the letter of u
spokesman. His comment on il is the
comment of the spokesman caught with
the goods on him. The disclosures
would not have been SO startling If Mr.
Bryan had not made such pretension
10 righteousness"
When did Mr.. Bryan ever make pre-
tension contrary to the spirit and plain
meaning of the Wick letter? He has
never made civil service reform a shib-
boleth. Free silver. a low tariff. gov
ernment ownership and operation of
railroads. scuttle respecting the PHIL
ippines and other things have brought
forth strong deliverances from him, but
he has never staked anything of con-
sequence on civil service reform.
Mr.. Bryan is an eloquent man, and
many people rate him as a dreamer
But ever since attaining national in
nuence In hts party he has kept the
company Of practical politicians. Nee

The Man With the Hoe.
From the Pittsburgh Press.

rom Ile tlttSuureu IieSs.
From farms in 1914 the United States
produced yield worth ten billion dol
lars Could cotton have been marketed
as usual the total would have been
close to half a billion more. Ten bill
lion dollars representing honest work
Ten billion dollars untainted money!
And going mostly into the pockets OF
the workers themselves. with little
reaching the purses Of labor exploiters.
The beautiful thing about this great
item of our national wealth. next to
it's cleanliness, is the fact that it can
be increased Indefinitely by a more gen.
eral adoption of scientific agriculture
In fifteen years 1t has been doubled
and still, on our new soil, we farm only
a third as effectively as do many for
eign peoples on soil centuries longer in
use The forest, cut unwisely. is gone
The mineral, once mined. is not renew
able. But on his broad acres the tiller
of the soil can take and take again;
and, though he has to fertiliZe. the
more he does it the more he earns.
So, come war, come pestilence. come
anything but continent-wide drought.
here is broad base for our future well
fare, upon which we can build expand,
ingly and securely. The man with the
hoe is, indeed. the best hope of the
future.

A Filibuster Feature.

| Republican senators want Afternoon
from the brethren on the ether side OF
the wide aisle while speaking on the
ship purchase bill. They complain OF
both a lack of attention and lack or
reply. Empty chairs are not inspiring,
\ but regarded as a slur on senators on
their feet presenting facts and argu-
ments.
A member Of court who should alb
sent himself from the bench. or occupy
himself in his place writing letters or
reading a newspaper, or browsing in
his chair, during arguments of counsel,
would lay himself open to severe criti-
cism.
| The case of an absent or inattentive
| senator is not entirely analogous to
| that. He may not hear speech de-
| livered, but before voting he reads it
| in the Congressional Record. If it has
value he gets the benefit of it. He need
not lose a single point in the debate
while lounging in the cloakrooms. or
doing at his desk in the chamber, or
occupying the time visiting the de-
partments on business for his con-
stituents.
Some senators rise superior to the
encouragement. Absence of the op-
position seems to lend vigor and in
dustry to their tongues Realizing that
they are registering In the Record and
the daily press, and in that way will
reach not only the absentee senators,
but the reading people of the country,
| they dwell upon their themes, and have
it all out
Notable speeches by notable men have
been made in the Senate under those
conditions. The late Mr.. Morgan, who
never spoke without Illuminating his
subject, and often made it bright as
day. spoke with fine effect with no
more than half dozen on the floor to
listen. He obtained attention for his
Views through the Record and the
press. and that satisfied him.
A rule requiring senator's to be pres
ent in the chamber as much as possi-
BILE and at attention during debates
| would require number OF changes in
Senate practices. For one thing 1t
| would advance the lunch hour; and for
another it would cut down cigar bills.
and play hobs with cloakroom stories
and conversation, which point many a
political moral and adorn many cam
paign tale.
| In the present case OF course the real
republican object is to make the demo-
Gratis bear q share of the filibuster;
mako them stand by and listen while
the republicans are talking. For. in a
physical test as now ordered and under
the direction of a party caucus. they
also serve who sit and listen. They
help protract debate. They inspire the
speakers to their best.

An Extra Session.

The extra session Of the present Con-
gress was called IN fulfillment OF
campaign promise. Neither business
nor political conditions were alarm
ing. Although unpopular. the Payne
law was yielding ample revenue for the
support Of the government Although
expenditures were large. the neces-
stiles OF the government were OF like
proportions.
But the democracy had come into
complete control on the assertion.
which the country at the polls had ac-
cepted, that a downward revision Of
the tariff would lower the high cost Of
millions a year could be saved by a
revision Of the Rovernment's EXPENSE
account Hence Mr.. Wilson'S call to
Congress to get busy at once to set
things right.
Congress oheved. and got busy. Rut
the result showed that the relief the
democracy had promised was not OBJ
tainable hv the means emploved. TIL"
high cost Of living was not reduced
by the downward revision Of the tariff
and three hundred millions a year in
expenses could not be saved. because no
such amount had been wasted.
Today. both business and political
conditions are grave. if not alarming
The European war has thrown every
thing out Of plumb. We have on the
books a tariff law which had failed OF
its professed purpose before the war
began, and necessarily is a most pro-
nounced failure now. 1t has not low
cred the cost OF living. because It could
not. It has not heartened business. be-
cause business. not only in this coun-
try but everywhere, is out OF gear and
demoralized. It is not. even with the
aid of supplementary taxation. raising
money enough for the proper public
uses.
As for the supplies. they should be
voted in amounts to meet ascertained
necessities. There Is no economy in
cheeseparing. No large sums could be
safely cut out Of any of the big bills
Pensions must be voted. The army
and the navy must be literally sup
ported. and should just now receive
much larger allowances than for years
past. In all departments Uncle Sans
establishment needs. and should re-
ceive. comfortable provision.
AS compared with the situation of
two years ago, the present situation in
the country is most disquieting. Where
there was one reason for an extra ses-
sion Of Congress then there are dozen
for one now. All the important legis-
lation enacted by this Congress is based
either on theories which experience has
impaired or exploded. or on conditions
which the war has radically changed.
Why should not the new Congress take
up promptly the changed situation?
