James Bryce.

DERHAPS no foreigner of recent decades has
i been more widely euogized in the American
press than Viscount Bryce, who passed away
Jew days since brilliant octogenarian
Interesting points of his life-story and achieve
nients are contained in the following editorial
from the Baltimore Sun:
"Viscount James Bryce was a titled member
OF the so-called upper classes who was closer
IN heart to the plain people than many of them
selves. He intellectual who devoted his
intellect to the promotion of democracy and to the
defense OF its aims and purposes. He was
fHiure as a politician and success as a states
man and historical philosopher. If his sympathies
had not been naturally what we call democratic
his American Commonwealth would probably
meyer have been written or would have been
written in a different way. His Democracy pub
hshed IN 1921, when he was SO years old, showed
how strong hold his ruling political passion main
tanned upon him to the last. He was born
liberal and progressive, in spite of his early educa-
tional environment, and the passage of time
did not convert him to moral toryism. He was
an optimist whose Irish enthusiasm was tempered
bu. not suppressed by his Scotch common sense
and eanniness. The two strains meeting in him
prod"eed what has been called an English Yam
kee, which but another way of saving that
heHwas unusually free from insular prejudiccs and
recognized the mental kinshp between the best
ASPIRATIONS OF his own country and of this. He
felt, indeed, quite much at home ln the United
States as III England, and had acquired a literary
and spiritual citizenship here by his long and
sympathetic study of us and our government

producing his American Commonwealth
Mr.. Bryce a man of affairs a man of
practical wisdom and tactul ability but intellectually
he was pre-eminently student, a scholar an
analyst OF government theories and systems There
he was in field in which he had few EQUALS
and though amazingly versatile, and though his
activities were extraordinary even among many
sided Englishmen, he will be remembered chiefly
because of his contributions to historical and poll
teal studies
.. "He blossomed early after the manner of
genius and continued to bloom late. There was
not winter of discomfort barrenness with him.
He died young in mind and sympathy after more
than fourscore years OF contact with world which
refused to go straight during his time but in
which he lost faith Those who think the
league of nations the idle dream of impracticable
idealists may do well to recall that Mr. Bryce was
Of its first proponents, if not the originator
of the idea, and that he always in touch with
current realities The United States is proud that
ii can claim sort OF intellectual share in his life
