A new cause for complaint has been dis
left HI secretary Of states office he took
the desk that has been used by secretaries
Of state for so years. Mr.. Bryan desired
this as a souvenir. He attached unusual
value to 1t not because of the great sec
~retaries of state who have used 1t In the
past, but because it was the desk on which
he signed his own peace treaties. He had
the government reimbursed by having
builded a desk Of the same size to take
the place of the historic one. Some are
saying that Mr.. Bryan could not legally
do this since the desk that he carried
away was the property of the government
and that the government also attached a
sentimental value to 1t by reason of its
long service in the state department. OF
course, the government lost nothing actual
and MI. Bryan gained nothing actual, but
the chiefest value in a nations life Is
made up Of its sentiments and It's mem
cries and the symbols Of its past glories.
These constitute an everlasting heritage
and for that reason relics, such as Mr..
Bryan removed. belong to the nation. The
Beacon has no desire to Join In criticism Of
the episode. except to say that 1t was a PEI
culiar thing to do, and, as an admirer Of
Mr.. Bryan. we wish he hadn't done it
