There was one man in the st. Louis
convention who caught the real point
of Ex-Governor Glynn's perfervid
rhetoric. William j. Bryan, sitting in
the press section, burst into tears of
joy when he heard Mr.. Glynn extol
the Wilson Administration for having
kept the country out of war.
To keep the country out of war,
whatever the cost, was Mr.. Bryan's
unalterable purpose when he was Sec
retary of State. He knew that that
was also. fundamentally, Mr.. Wilson's
purposes. He left the Cabinet
as he truthfully said at the
time. not because he and the President
differed in principle, but because they
differed as to methods. Mr.. Bryan
was willing to admit-and did admit 1t
frankly to Ambassador Duba-that
Mr.. Wilson's notes demanding salts
faction for Lusitania Massacre were
written only with a view to placating

was never courageous enough to ad-
nit this. He intended to keep the
country out of war with Germany. but
he wanted, for personal and party
reasons, to make pretence of risking
war in the notes which he wrote de-
manding a disavowal of the Lusitania
outrage.

THEIR WORK APPRECIATED,


From the Milford Chronicle.
The aim of the three men who
form the Kent County School Conn.,
mission has been to study the pur-
pose for which the body was
created, and to perform the duties in
connection herewith, from the point
OF getting the best results from the
effort made by the State Of Delaware,
to educate the children OF all the peo-
Pile. With this purpdse always in
view, for the past ten years the Kent
County School Commission has con-
formed TO the laws. which state, that
they shall inspect annually the
schools OF the county, and have made
annual report of the same to the State
Board OF Education. Il Is only within
the past five or six years that their
reports have been printed in pocket
edition pamphlet, and copies sent to
each and every school commissioner
in the county. as we'll as those inter-
ested in public school education. This
year many individuals have written
personal letters to the members ae-
knowledging appreciation Of the effort
TO get results from the schools, while
all of the leading papers OF the State,
and especially the daily papers OF
Wilmington. have devoted much OF
their editorial space to commenting
upon the work OF the Kent County
School Commission.

Aspects of The Russian Loan
(From the New York SUM

No foreign financing which we
have done since the war began is of
so much significance in its long range
importance as the s5O,OOO,O0O loan
to the Russian government just ne
gotiated. AS a banking transaction
the arrangement is ingenious and the
terms are profitable. The immediate
effect will be to facilitate the large
commercial exchanges which we are
making, denoted by tenfold increase
in our exports to Russia since the
war began. II Is, however. in its pos
.sibilities as an Inauguration Of per
manently profitable relations with the
land of the Gear that the loan is OF
most consequence.
Russia has always been a heavy
borrower. It's national debt before
the war was large, and OF course has
grown hugely because of the war.
The dependence which Russia has al
ways placed on borrowed money, es-
pecially on external loans. has caused
a mistaken view of Russian prospects
to be expressed frequently among us
in unfavorable opinions of Russia as
a debtor. but in the main these opin-
ions are affected by a prejudice not
germane to financial facts.
In proportion to the latent re-
sources Of the Russian Empire. both
in population and undeveloped nat
ural potentialities Of wealth. Russian
indebtedness is remarkably small.
Under more progressive conditions,
conducting to an efficient organization
Of the Russian people, economically
and politically, il would be a COM
paratively light task for Russia alone
to assume the whole burden OF the
total debt Of Europe on account Of the
present war. There is no country in
volved in the great conflict which Is
so likely as Russia to benefit from
the stimulus to energies which the
war has provided The Russian peO-
pie will gain a new consciousness Of
national unity and power
The truth about Russia was sue
cinctly told the other day by Raymond
Robins in his address as temporary
chairman OF the Progressive conven-
tion in Chicago He said that after
