VISCOUNT BRYCE

good friend and earnest student of America
is dead Viscount Bryce, one of few Europeans
to gauge correctly our Institutions ideals and as
pirations, leaves behind him valuable work tor
students of generations to come. His major work:
"American Commonwealth" has long been a text
book of our form of government and regarded as
an authority in colleges throughout the length and
breadth Of the land. & e f
Bryce has often been referred to as an eng
lish Yankee" He was as keen to point out the
;defects in the American system of government
as he was generous in praise of our form of con-
stitution.
There is only one writer whose name goes down
into history linked with that of Bryce. De Ioq-
queville years previous performed a similar SER
vice to the American people in his work: "Democ-
racy in America"
Bryce's essays, addresses and miscellaneous
state papers did much to maintain friendly rela-
tions between the two peoples. He assisted his
fellow Englishmen in understanding Americans,
not always an easy task during the strained per-
ods in the course Of diplomatic relations in which
Bryce took leading part. :
America will long revere the memory of Wis
count Bryce-she is greatly in debt for his fine
service to nation he loved second only to his
own.

EVOLVING A PLAN

Members of the city commission are under
stood to be engaged in evolving plan to acquire
fire truck for the city during the present winter
without involving embarrassment of the city
finances by too heavy purchase
The plan discussed. which seems feasible and
doubtless would meet with approval of taxpayers,
is to purchase truck, mount the present appara-
tus on it and use it until such time as business
conditions and other factors entering into the
matter would warrant the purchase Of an entirely
new apparatus The truck then could be used as
an auxiliary apparatus, which is held need in
the event the department is motorized.
Changing financial conditions during the fall
and winter with fluctuations in prices and the fact
that tax collections have been slow have been con-
sidered in evolving the new plan, which has in it
] the merit Of providing adequate protection with
/ out too great an expense.
