4 Resentful, President

IT is to be taken for granted as the dis
patches indicate. that President Wilson is
very much displeased over the intrusion or
Niscount Grey into the fight going on in the
United States Senate over the ratification OF
the treaty of peace. The distinguished Brit
isher, with or without the consent of his
government went deliberately into print
with statement, the effect and purpose Of
which was to give encouragement to those
elements in tho Senate that are demanding
sweeping reservations to the treaty.
1t will be recalled that Earl Grey came
to Washington as the special ambassador Of
his government. He remained here more
than three months. During the whole OF
that time the President confined to his
room trying to recover from serious Illness.
The latter failed TO give the Englishman an
audience The ambassador sailed for home
without even SO much as presenting his
credentials. It was minated at the time
that he was displeased over the failure OF
the President to receive him.
But it did not develop that Niscount Grey
had consulted with the political opponents
of tho President until after the former had
reached London and had communicated his
views to the British public, which showed
clearly that he had adopted the conclusions
of such opponents as his own while he tar
red in America. And he proceeded far be-
yond the bounds Of diplomatic good taste,
not TO say political wisdom, in taking up
the fight of the reservationists in America by
going openly to their defense.
Nothing could he more natural than that
President Wilson should feel angered by this
unprecedented breach Of propriety. Those
close to him have represented him as being
severely indignant toward Lord Grey and
they intimate that he will ask for some ex-
PLANTATION at the hands OF the British gov
eminent of that governments attitude to-
ward It's envoy This sort of thing does not
improve international relationships Already
there is determined anti British propa-
ganda in this country and an equally de-
termined anti-American propaganda in Great
Britain. Ill-feeling on the part of the two
governments toward each other is calculated
to intensity attitude which all sober
minded Britishers and Americans must de-
plore.

Mr.. Bryan the Dissen,cr

Nk/ Lillian JESNlNGS Bftl AN Is rarely
w regular" in the early stages OF a great
national campaign. He is unbound. un-
pledged and unbelievable always He is
pre-eminently an Independent at such sea-
sons as this and he has in that independence
an asset that not only Mr. Bryan but his
party as whole captalizes to great adj
vantage.
But, although the Commoner is the lead
ing American insurgent OF his time. he is
never boter He fights hard at all times
but his fights invariably within the or
ganization. He drives unrelentingly forward
when primaries and. conventions are being
held. but when lis party has spoken when
the platf form has been adopted and the ticket
named. he goes along" His friends know
this. and admire il in him; his enemies know
it, and censure him for it.
1t is easy to recall MIR. Bryan's part in the
Democratic history of the past twenty years
The record shows very plainly that he has
never left the reservation. The Progressives
thought they might capture him at one time:
the Prohbitionists thought they might wean
him away from the old party; the Alton Il.
Parker conservatives thought they had driven
him to final revolt when they took control
of the organization in 1904. and at sundry
other times it has seemed that the Nebraska
statesman was outside the breastworks for
good and all. But it has never happened
that way. Mr.. Bryan is Democrat first
ana last. Often he has forged far ahead of
his party upon domestic issues and more
than once he has been in opposition to the
responsible leadership of the Democrats upon
international questions. Yet, he has man
aged to remain in position Of loyalty to the
party whether 1t was in power or in a state
OF defeat.
AT this moment Mr. Bryan is in serious
disagreement with President Wilson and the
dominant factors in the Democratic organi-
cation upon many of the foremost issues OF
the day. He is fighting valianty for the
convictions which he holds. He appears to
be uncOmpromising in his demands But the
chances are a thousand to one that when
the final showdown comes, the Nebraskan
will be found giving his faithful support to
the party ticket and to the party program
whether he Is permitted to name the one or
dictate the other.

The Hili
SaDgrc de Cristo once WAS plain.
But today 1t stands so high
That it pokes it's in eternal SHOWS
On the other side OF the sky:
And wide brimmed hat shades tho swarthy
face
OF man who wonders why.
Daisies and buttcrcups strcwed the field
Where the top Of the hill is ice
And the spot bleak OH the mountains peak
Is the home OF the edelwciss:
And the tawny sides of lion hcavc
Where were rabbits and squirrels anu mlce.
In pcacefu pastures the cattle roamed
Till the Earth wen, sick. they say:
And all in night the mountain
And the pastures melted away.
And the grassy meadows of Yestereve
Are the ice-tipped crags today.
And the world may ask ti' the stars are cold,
But the world shall never know;
For the gods still why they build hill
And lay mountain low
And SanErc de Cristo is silent ard grave,
In It's cap Of eternal snow.
