Free Bridge To Juarez-DO 1t Now

A German Who Can't Save Harvard

Germans, like all the rest, do silly things sometimes
and one of the slest little things German has done
since the began IS the act Of Dr. KunO Meyer, of
the university of Berlin, who had been chosen exchange
professor Harvard university, in withdrawing his
name. His reason, rather his excuse, was the pub
location of a poem in of the Harvard student
papers, which the Berlin professor chose to take as
insult to Germany.
It is the continual repetition Of such incidents
this all sides of the war that impress upon the out
side and impartial observer the lack Of genuine feeling
and fundamental principle the war; from whatever
angle it be viewed. There IS something sordid, super
fetal, cheap, and narrow about the whole business.
Every nation involved has been guilty of It. The
lection Of university degrees, ostentatious returning Of
medals and decorations, and personal attacks by scien
tfic and literary men each other evidences Of
the absence Of convictions deep enough to sound the
depths Of humanity. Such things remind one more Of
the sapping and splitting of little boys than Of the
rational acts Of grown men.
Dr.. Meyer expresses the @hope that no German will
again be found accept the post OF exchange professor
at Harvard It probably occurred to the worthy
professor IN his silly outbreak of anger that Harvard

Where One Man Is Being Tried Out

In view Of the fact that Mr. Bryan has shown in
the state department just what he IS made Of It is
doubtful If among his best friends many could be
found to regret that he did become president As
administrator Of q great governmental branch which
requires high order of ability in every line, iitless
tact earnest application, and hard study, Mr. Bryan
has totally failed to up 10 the standards Of
the past or to the needs Of the present.
As president he would have been without even
the guiding hands and the wiser counsel of other men,
and he would have marked his with infalbe
choice of wrong ways. He is the sort of who de-
pends what he perhaps calls inspiration for guidance
and when he is playing cheap politics he swayed
by impulse rather than reason He is an unsafe man
rs present post but he would be 20 times as dan
gerous in the chair Of president Of the United States
When the people Of the United States thrice
jeced him their chief executive the people thrice
demonstrated their ability to govern themselves in spite
Of the wiles Of demagogs. Bryan inspires personal
love and loyalty among many; he is great man, in
his way, but his way Is a dangerous way, and
power higher than mans impulse came between the
American nation and sad disaster when Bryan was
prevented from taking command of the government
