MR.. BRYAN A CONVERT

Is William Jennings Bryan,
apostle Of peace-at-any-price, weak
ening? Yesterday while President
Wilson was hurrying back to Wash
ington to inquire into further sub
marine indignities, Mr.. Bryan
seemed to be explaining, before the
Pan American Scientific Congress. a
plan for defense at bargain rates.
His idea seems to be to do away
with American preparedness and
substitute Pan-American prepared
ness, and thus reduce the cost of de-
fense to all American republics.
Here is a sentence from his dis
cussion of the preparedness issue:
"This evolution of the Monroe doc
trine, enforced by the United States
alone, into a Pan-Americanism, sup
ported by all American republics
jointly, will not only insure solidarity
of sentiment, but will, by the union
of their strength, lessen the expendi-
lures necessary for their protection
from possible attempted invasion"
This may not make out Of Mr.,
Bryan a whole-hearted disciple of a
reasonable national defense. But it
gives hope that few rays of light
on the question of preparedness for
possible attempted invasion" may
have entered his peace loving soul.
In the same address he is found
advocating the plan of bankers and
economists for a single monetary
unit in all the American republics
Since all but ten Of the republics
now have a gold standard, and those
ten are working toward that end, il
! is reasonable to assume that Mr.
Bryan, along with others, would
have this unit the American gold
dollar.
Anyway, his views on the none
tary question take this form just ter
years from the time when he was
found most earnestly advocating that
the United States flock all by itself
in the matter of monetary stand,
ard.
Therefore the question arises: ter
years from now what will Mr.. Bryan
thipk about preparedness

MAKING A CONVICT INTO A MAN

A Sing Sing convict escaped last
week from the prison and went back
to New York and his old haunts. There
was no man-hunt to get him arrested
and returned to solitary confinement
on bread and water. The other pris-
oners. deprecating this dishonorable
conduct, declared their humiliation
over it; they recognized it as making
harder the Osborne policy of treat
ing them like humans, and giving
them a decent chance.
The escaped prisoner didn't enjoy
his liberty. The old friends of his
criminal past gathered around and
urged him to go back to the prison; it
was unfair to himself, to the new
policy, to other prisoners, for him to
bring the system into any measure
of disrepute by running away mere
ly because new liberties to the men
made it possible.
So he boarded a train, rode back
to prison, and walked into the war
denis office to give himself up. He
was glad to be back; everybody was
glad to see him there. He had had
real lesson in the manly art of
doing the fright thing"
That little story sounds as il
prison reform had been accomplish,
ing some mighty real results. True
Warden Osborne is under indictment
for his reforms; a grand jury in,
dicted him. In return, public senti,
ment has indicted the grand jury
and the political ring that inspired
it; and the political ring is already
convicted, while it is pretty certain
Osborne never can be.
The Washington times., 1916-01-04

needs are going to be harder to dem
onstrate to those who will be bene-
flied. John Jones, Of the city, can
recognize Tom Smiths needs when
Tom Smith lives jam up against
his wall. But Farmer Jones will find
It harder to enthuse over Farmer
Smiths needs when Farmer Smith
lives half way across the State.
Country planning, therefore, must
be State problem. 1t is too big for
communities to handle alone. It re-
quires that wise provision and SUPER
vision which can be had only by ap-
plying the best intelligence of a
State to that portion where, with
few exceptions, more than half its
population lives, and where that
part Of the population lives which
keeps the city man clothed and fed.

THE PENNSY'S GREAT RECORD

The Pennsylvania railroad an
nounces the close of The third sue
cessive year in which not a single
fatal accident has befallen a pas
senger on its Eastern system. In
the past two years on its entire
mileage, East and West, not a
single passenger has lost his life;
and there We're 1,572,114 of them;
three and two-thirds ~ many as
:he entire population Of the United
States.
Very real results have been ac-
complished in recent years in max
ing travel safer; and he country
owes it's gratitude to the Pennsvl-
vana for taking and holding the
cad in such efforts.
When organization and efficiency
ran attain such results in corpora
tion whose personnel makes up an
army, it is encouraging to people
who believe this nation is also ca
pable of that other sort of organi-
zation and efficiency, Just now so
much in the public thought, which
will insure the national safety
against aggression from the out
side world.
The Washington times., 1916-01-04
PAN-AMERICAN MONETARY
UNITY

Excepting only the use Of com
mon language, ! uniform monetary
scheme common to all the American
states, would do more than anything
else to bring real solidarity of in
terest and sentiment among them.
What this uniformity of monetary
machinery means has been illus
trated to a degree in the history of
the United States. Time was when
the circulation of one States banks
or even of one bank was so little
known and of such uncertain char
acter and value, that it could not be
carried beyond little local neigh
borhood. Real unity did not come to
the new United States until there was
establishment of money system
under which every issue represented
precisely the same value and secur-
ity in every community. No man
dreams of viseing the coin or the
bill that is handed to him; he knows
what it means and that it is worth
what it claims to be.
There will not be linguistic uni
formity among the American coun-
tries. The Hispanian peninsula de-
veloped an offshoot of the old Latin
that has proved wonderfully virile
and attractive. We hear the Ger
mans talk Of their mother tongue as
The Washington times., 1916-01-04

the future language of civilization
and the English insisting that their
and our-language is destined to
a peaceful conquest of the worlds
conversation. But meanwhile the
Spanish language goes on subduing
races, states, and provinces. 1t has
shown far more virility in modern
times, when the Spanish state has
loosed its political grip, than it did
in the period when Spain held lead
ership in Europe.
But, if we shall not adopt Span
ish and the Spanish-speaking Amer
icas shall not turn to Anglo-Saxon
forms, it is certain that an increas-
ing cosmopolitanism will bring to
both sides greater familiarity with
the tongue of the other. Your cul-
tured or commercial continental
knows two or three languages at
least; Americans will presently learn
the Importance of understanding the
patois Of their neighbors, at least
generally enough to make inter-
course easy.
But uniformity in money is easier
The gold standard is the worlds rule
now. So firmly is it established that
there is strong hope that the convul-

PLANNING FOR The COUNTRY

City planning no longer needs de-
fense, though it sometimes needs
urging. Everybody admits it's need,
though they may be slow in adopting
it's ideals.
But rural planning, touched upon
at the recent conference of the
American Civic Association in Wash
'ngton, needs the sort of propaganda
work that city planning did two
decades ago. 1t still seems to be the
idea that man should look carefully
after the city, but that Providence is
directing the development of the
country.
1t was entirely logical. if start
ling, to have Prof. Frank A. Waugh,
a pioneer in country planning, advo-
cate that the same care be exercised
in placing country roads that is ex-
pended in laying out city streets
that the same attention be given to
country homes that is given to the
city blocks; that the same intelli-
gence be expended on arranging a
farm as in laying out a city sub
division.
There is plenty of public land, as
he pointed out, in the country where
beginnings may be made. There are
the roads, which constitute one of
the biggest problems; the schools,
and the churches. These need to be
