A MAN OF WORDS.

The New Republic: If Mr.. Bryan
had resigned and remained silent
his action would have commanded
general respect. He would have been
criticised for having quit in
the midst of one of the most
important diplomatic negotia-
tions in the history of the coun-
try, the first moves of which he had
as secretary of state, formally ap-
proved, but the criticism would not
have made much impression or done
him any serious harm. The man
was so obviously placed in a posi-
ton which was injurious to his rep
utation and which allowed his bet
ter qualities no chance of express
sion that his right to get out of it
at the first favorable opportunity
and at minimum personal cost
would have been generally recogniz-
ed.
But unfortunately he could not
help resigning without breaking in
to print. He was, at the critical mo-
ment in his life, betrayed by his pas

sion for words and by his inability
to conceive of any situation in which
silence had the value of gold and
utterance the value of lead. He had
to justify his conduct by state
ment which affords startling and IT.
refragable proof of his Incompetence
as secretary of state, and of his in
ability to act according to any lights
except those of a stump speaker. He
must not only explain his behavior
at any cost, but his explanation
must be made the excuse for propa-
ganda.
The golden words must be con-
verified into currency, stamped with
the countenance of William J. Bry-
an, and accepted by his admirers
and followers at their face value.
Such is the result of appointing to
responsible executive position a
man who has lived on and for words,
and to whom reticence is sheer i'm
possibility.

WHO PAYS2

Times-R This is a mar
row world. A war 5000 miles away
affects every one of us materially
though separated by a wide ocean.
1t is universal calamity. And so
we all agree that war should be
abolished if only because of the
waste and world affect.
A strike is waste. 1t differs on
ly in degree from war. And now
that this world has been narrowed.
and states and cities crowded closer
through modern methods of trans
portation a great strike in Chicago
directly affects conditions in hun
dreds of interior towns and cities.
We must stand our share of the
waste. And this waste the working
man in the smaller city bears most.
For instance. He came asking
where he could find something to do.
YES" he said, '1'm a card man but
can't eat it and I've got to eat. I
don't care what the job is. Lead me
to it," And in the past two days
half dozen men whose appearance
justified their claims to be willing
and anxious to work for a living
have tackled the same man for
meal and his assistance in finding
any kind of job that would furnish
a meal ticket. Their explanation
was the same. Came out from Chi
cago where "work is all shot to
pieces and nothing doing. Thought
there'd be work in the smaller
towns And so every one of them
becomes a competitor with the man
who has job at home and the man
at home who is out of work. Not
all the desperation and suffering is
to European battlefields.
The industrial wars are as prolific of
disaster.
The carpenters strike in Chicago
was as though two countries went to
war. The street car strike is an
other nation added to the red mix
up. And as nations of the world
suffer from wars abroad so the SIMS
ter influence and results of strikes
in another state extend to peaceful
cities and neighborhoods hundreds
1f miles from the seat of trouble.
Everyone pays.
Why not abolish strikes as well as
var? 9. n

LAFE YOUNG FOR GOVERNOR.

LAFE YOUNG FOR GOVERNOR.
Cedar Rapids Republican,: The
Charles City Press has proposed
Late Young for governor. The edi-
tor has sent marked copy of his
paper to this editorial office, as he
has no doubt done to all other edi-
tors, with the query, What do you
think of it,"
Well, we think mighty we'll
about it, but it is not our thinking
nor the thinking of all the editors
of the state put together that will do
the naming of the next republican
candidate for governor. Mr.. Young
has had his ups and downs in poll
tics and he is now old enough to be
wise enough not to put too much
faith in the enthusiasms of political
friends. He has been a state senator
and a United States senator and he
has made an efficient man in both
places. He has reached the ripe and
philosophic stage of life. He is an
Iowan by birth and no one has been
a better Iowan than LATE Young. He
represents in himself the progressive
spirit of the state. He is a booster
by birth.
Il 81
We like LATE. We have always
liked him. He is most companion
able man. His aspirations are lofty
and he has nothing to serve except
the glory of the state. He would
make an ideal governor. He is in
deed big enough to be seen. He
has never been hidden. He would
be a we'll known and an influential
man in a great office. He is as big
as the office and little bigger than
some men who have held that Office
in the past. If the republicans OF
Iowa would name him the people Of
Iowa would be glad to elect him and
it would be almost unanimous, we
believe. Even the democrats like
LATE, now that he has become
philosopher. But can he be nomin-
ated? The governorship can add lit
tie now to his stature, for he is a
great editor and great traveller and
lecturer.

what is democratic patronage?"
Didn't the national platform adopt

than service rendered to a political
party?" Is that plank, too, like the
one declaring against the re-elec-
ton of a president, to be considered
as nothing more than mere scrap

1t is a disgrace to England that
mobs have attacked in English cities
inoffensive and non-combatant Ger
man men and women, some of them
citizens of England, since the sink
ing of the Lusitania. True, the prov
ocation has been great, but the Ger
mans in England were not RESPONSE
BILE for what the German navy did
and should have been accorded fair
treatment. But stores ard shops have
been looted and in some instance
personal violence resorted to. Eng
land cannot make friends that way.
Of course, the government is not re-
sponsible for the action of mob and
no doubt the good people of Britain
regret the occurrences. Civilized
people ought to deal justly with non
combatants and the fact that near
ly fifteen hundred non-combatants
We're slain by a German submarine
is no excuse for visiting revenge up
on Germans not in any way respon-
sible for that act.

Quite a number of the democrats
of Iowa met at Des Moines a few
days ago and passed resolutions
commencing President Wilson, and
effected an organization for the
purpose of re-electing him president
in 1916. But what would this Or
ganization do if Mr.. Wilson decided
to stand by the plank in the Balti-
more platform that declared against
a second term? 1t may be that the
president will consider that instru-
ment something more than mere
scrap of paper" He cannot give
military necessity as the cause for
violating it.

has for twenty years had the larg-
est personal following of any demo-
crat in the country and this follow
ing is not going to be permanently
eliminated by this recent blunder.
The Charles City Press jumps in
to the arena with the suggestion Of
Hon. Lafayette Young for governor
of Iowa. That the colonel would
make formidable antagonist in the
primaries. is conceded, and it will
also be quite generally conceded
that he would lack few thousand
votes of winning the nomination.
Col. Bryan is now at liberty to
take to the Chautauqua platform
and he can make three or four times
as much money out of it as his sal
airy as secretary of state amounted
to. He is better fitted for that kind
of a job, too. The people like to
hear Mr.. Bryan talk and aside from
Col. Roosevelt he would be the best
drawing attraction that any Chau-
tauqua could possibly secure.
Colonel Petered Hepburn is very
much alarmed lest the republicans
of Iowa might be for Senator Cum
Minis for president next year and has
succeeded in again jumping into the
limelight by pursuading some news
paper man to interview him. The
colonel is altogether too vain for a
man of his years and this vanity has
evidently led him into the belief
that the people of Iowa would like
to hear from him upon matters po-
litical.

United States authorities have ar
rested a German reservist by the
name of Gustave Stahl, upon the
charge OF perjury. He made atfidav-
its to the German embassy at Wash
ington to the effect that the Lusi-
tania was armed with four guns be-
fore she sailed from this country on
the goth of April. 1t is believed that
Stahl's arrest will lead to the dis
cOvery of conspiracy to mislead
the German government in matters
pertaining to the shipment of con-
trabrand goods and the arms carried
by vessels leaving our ports. 1t was
doubtless upon the representations
made by such unreliable authorities
as Stahl to the German government
that lead to the unlawful attack up
on the Lusitania, and such proceed
ings cannot be too severely con-
demned. Stahl's crime is in a meas
ure responsible for the Lusitania
tragedy and no punishment is too
severe to be melted out to him and
his fellow conspirators.

Mr.. Bryan is charged with trying
to win the support of German-Amer-

ever, he has eliminated by his recent
course ten voters to one gained,
