Bryan Misfit.
Judge Brown dwelt on the selection
of William J. Bryan for secretary of
state under Wilson, man who was
temperamentally unfit for the deli
cate office in which he was placed, to
pay political debt. This was the
time to call for an accounting and an
explanation OF the attitude of the
present administration toward the
State department. which began in
weakness and at the outset was the
handmaiden of political expedient
A cursory review of foreign relations
brought out shameful chicanery in
San Domingo and the removal of the
American minister of Paris in the
hour of distress when his training
and knowledge of conditions were of
vital importance to his country. He
was removed to make way for a
Democrat. Judge Brown contrasted
that system with the conduct of Presi-
dent Taft in appointing Edward Doug
the high office of Chief Justice of
the United States supreme court.
subvert all precedent by appointing a
Democrat for that great office.
Weakness Habit
Weakness of the State department
was habit He alluded to the
Lusitania incident and the open af-
front put upon the United States by
Count Won Bernestorff, when he ad-
vertised in the New York Herald
that Americans travelling on the Lusi-
tania would do so at their own risk,
although such Americans were adj
vised by President Wilson that their
lives and property would be fully
| protected. Had Republican presi-
dent been in power the German am
bassador would have been handed his
passports the moment the threatening
advertisement appeared and the Lusi-
tania would never have been sunk.
The speaker cited the firmness of
little Holland and little Switzerland,
which preserved their neutrality and
the respect of the belligerent nations
by mobilizing their armies to prevent
an invasion of their rights. The big
nations knew what the little nations
meant and they respected them for
| their firmness Europe believes it
Is safe to kill Americans and the
community of nations looks with con
tempt on the United States for not
protecting its citizens. Europe be
lieves that the political conscience
and the morality of the United States
has been dulled and that this country
is only interested in trade balance
This may be true, for while the
profits have been fat, diplomacy has
grown insolyent.
In conclusion the speaker dwelt on
the Washington policy of insuar iso
lation and ventured the assertion that
were George Washington living to
day, with wireless messages flashing
from Arlington to the Eiffel tower
and heard in Honolulu. he would be
the first to arraign the present day
