BRYAN AND THE WORLD

William Jennings Bryan credits the
New York World with being "the
mouthpiece of the most corrupt band
of freeboosters that ever defied con
science of the nation He writes his
tribute to The World. and that paper
publishes it.
The exchange of eourtesies between
Mr.. Bryan and The World came about
when the commoner put series OF
questions to the newspaper as to its
revenue from advertising liquors. The
paper, in turn, asked Mr. Bryan what
he is paid to lobby for the dry plat
form, and whether he will appear at
the San Francisco convention.
In his reply, sen. from Miami, Mr..
Bryan devotes column or more TO
the statement that his services for
prohibition are unpurchased, and Civ.
ing the reasons why. He explains
however, that for a limited time he
lectured under the auspices of the
Anti-Saloon League receiving for
these special engagements much less
than he would have received for other
engagements which he cancelled.
Concluding his reply to the news.

and the attitude of Senator Keez Of
Pennsylvania show that the 7 see tv OBJ
position in the Senate is in tie last

These men have been driven to fall
back on the contention that thestreaty
is "cruel to Germany and will involve
suffering in the Central Empires,
Now, why did not these republicans
acknowledge at once that their oppo
sition to the treaty was a pro-German
dodge2 Several who opposed it in the
senate have been either openly or
secretly in favor of the Germans from
the beginning of the war. They were
to our going into war, and op
posed administration measures while
we were in the war. They are men
like senator Reed Of Missouri and
others of that ilk
Of course, we do not say that every
man, and out. of the senate oppos-
ed to the league of nations as drawn
at Versailles is pro-German. Far from
it. But the men in the senate most

Since we find out who these people
are and what the real meaning of the
Iirreconciliable opposition in the sen

about ratifying the treaty. The pres
Iident is said to accept mild reserva-
Itions, even to Article 10 Senator
Lodge himself, since he finds out the
real meaning, the German opposition
to the treaty, is shaking off the grip
Of the extremists and is becoming
more tractable
The trouble about Senator Lodges

They were in offensive language and

COLBY AS SECRETARY OF STATE

In dismissing a secretary OF state,
President Wilson, for the time being,
may be greatly concerned about Gus
tom and precedent" but no such con-
siderations influence him in appoint
ing a secretary Of state.
There could be NO more complete
defiance of custom and precedent
than the selection OF Bainbridge Colby
to succeed Robert Lansing, and there
could be no more complete justifi-
cation for disregarding those stan
dards than the presidents own exper
fence in adhering to them in the past.
In the letter asking for Mr.. Lam
sings resignation, the president said
lit would relieve him of embarrass-
ment IF you would giae up your pres.
ent office and afford me an opportuni-
lty to select some one whose mind
would more willingly go along with
mine" Mr. Colby fills those specifi-
cations. His mind follows naturally
along the channels of the presidents
mind; but it is not a subservient mind.
On the contrary, Mr.. Wilson has taken
nobody into his cabinet who has
shown in a higher degree the courage
and independence that have marked
Mr.. Colby's political career.
Originally a republican, he joined
the Roosevelt revolt against the Old
Guard and the Mandarians in 1912.
He was one of the progressives for
principle and not for profit. When
Roosevelt and Perkins sold out the
progressive party in 1916, Colby re-
fused to become a chattel.
With John M. Parker, who was re-
Gently elected governor of louisiana on
the democratic ticket, he supported
Mr. Wilson in the campaign of 1916,
and has been an ardent adherent Of
the president ever since Politically
he can be described as Wilson inde-
pendent, belonging to the breed of
11ClOClt ~. IlOOVSIs duu III THAT U0
treason to organization politics, let
the senate make the most of it.
Mr.. Colby will necessarily be an
experiment as secretary of state, but
most of his predecessors have been
experiments. Men are not born to
diplomacy; they acquire it. and Mr..
Colby's career as Foreign Minister
is before him; but he has qualifica-
lions from which much can be expect
ed even during the brief period for
which he is appointed. He is an able
lawyer. a brilliant public speaker, an
intelligent student of history and a
fearless champion of human freedom
and of liberalism in government. His
mind will go along with the presi-
dents, because he believes that Mr..
Wilson's policies. in the main, are the
ones from which the people and the
world at large have the most to hope |
Neither reaction nor thick-and-thin
partyism will derive any comfort
from Mr.. Colby's appointment. It is
a challenge to both of them. and was
unquestionably intended as chal- |
