THE SECRETARY OF STATE.
Colonel George Harvey, editor of
The Norn American Review, does
Did iu ecu mb to HUggestlon. He baa
Ilia own view of tho secretary of state
and he expresKea It very Interestingly.
Colonel Harvey eekna to preTer to
judge .Mr. William JynnuiK* Bryan by
the tilings be lias.stone, rather than
by \hu Industrious advertising which
he gels chiefly from the hands of his
enemies This. rather naturally,
b dt originality and the element ot
the unusual tu Colonel Harvey'*
viess. which although they are not
without various toueuea of good natur
, iui ule, are uniirejudleed und fair
l outuienung upon President VV’ll
suns words of appreciation ot Ins
bi'iTetaty of state, which the editor
of the Notlh American Review char
ucterixex as a "comprehensive sum
ming up of civic virtues," Colonel
Harvey remarks, "many men. even
of the present dny and generation,
possess eharactel. sincerity and a
sense of justice, nut thy|e whose In
tegrity Is transparent are lew and lar
ftetwe.-n 1 but so muctfLrau be said
and well said ui Mr. Dry in Is a note
worthy fact."
He acquiesces fully with the presl
dents rt-mai ks about Mr. Bryan's tact
and says: "His 'caparlty for busi
ness.' too. is fully established, no less
than his mastery of the variegated
principles vv liiclt In- lias suceeded in
luduclug others !<• accent."
But to the president s proposition
that Mr Bryan has Imnued the state
dei artineut w ith "admirable definite
tiess and dignity," Colonel Harvey
takes some slight exception. Re
membering. no doubt, that the popu
lar idea of dignity Is violently antag
>'Hired by the unusual in any lorm.
und especially in the form of lectures
"We must confess," he says, "this
is somewhat lew translucent than
Ills rectitude, but . bis deserving of
•confidence and affectionate admira
tion' Is past dispute."
it is, however. In discussing Mr.
Bryan's place In national and Inter
national relationships that the editor
of The North American Review has
the courage to judge hint Impartially
Rays The Review:
•'We would not he understood
n» questioning the potency of Mr
llryan as secretary of state We
are well aware that he has «f- ,
forded valuable assistance in pro
posing ministers to South Amoti
on republics; that he popularis
ed the administration Immediate
ly upon bis accession by serving
notice ui on (treat Britain in a Sf
Hetrick's l>ay speech that home
rule must be granted to Ireland;
that be counseled the recognition
of Mr. Yuan Shlh-k'al as 'a just
government, resting upon the
consent of the governed, tljjt he
dispatched election Inspectors to
Santo Domingo; that he selected
Mr John Lind, of whom the pres
ident had never heard, for the
high post of unoficial agent to
Mexico, that he induced the
Commoner to loan Associate (edi
tor Metcalf to Panama; that he
rendered really beneficial service
In California, and finally, that he
has striven incessantly by word
und deed to inculcate cultivation
of peace among nations through
lit the world."
\lthough Colonel Uarvev Is docid
idly skeptical that Mr Bryans ef
forts to establish practical methods of
removing the causes of w-ar will re
mit In anything tangible during Ills
' nure of oflice, he says thst througn
patient work in en leavorlng to
construct enforcibl. agreements he Is
formulating "at least a basis of wars
which history has proven to be un
necessary. '
"There can bp no quesllon." he says
later, "that Mr Bryan has imved t,.0
wav for the solution of the gravest
problem of the age This In itself is
a great achievement, a very great
achievement, constituting a fair claim
to honor and renown worthy of a
Washington or a .leffersjji '
Undoubtedly it is refreshing to Hud
The North American Review willing
to credit Mr Bryan where he de
serves credit. There are so many
cheap and easy things to say about
Mr. Bryan that a great ntanv leople

to think whether in justice or fair

An Interesting advertising pamphlet,

President Woodrow Wilson's
Wise Policy Toward Mexico
More Amertcnns are killed In Tex
un In a week than ore killed In Mexi
co tn a month. There are more thofls
and robberies cotemltted In Texas In a
week than are committed In Mexico
/•gainst Americans In u month. Texas
Is at peace; Mexico Is at war. The
population of Mexico Is many times
that ot Texas. The erlmlnal record of
Texas moves the governor of Texas to
no greater effort than the perfunctory
offering of reward* for the apprehen
sion of criminals. The criminal re
cord of Mexico moves him Into In

ccnt eye of Its Governor.
History will mark the rontrast In
the conduct of these two men. atid It
will be constrained to condemn that
of the <inventor as a means of paying
full tribute to that of tho Presi
dent. No aensltde man who has re
tained full possession of his faculties
can have have any doubt as to tho
Judgment which idstory Will pass on
the President’s condmt. It will say
nf him that the patience and flrmneaa
that he displayed through a trying or
deal wore of a degree that marks him
heroic. To have restated, us he lias
done, tho provocations given to him
In Mexico, and to have been liimi-hhl
hle. In the placid way that he lias, to
the Insulting taunts offered to him at
home by men who owe him loyalty,
will make all of fhla other groat
achievements seem email. Hlatory

IN ANOTHER OLD RULE CITY.
From the St. l-ouls Post-Dispatch
flow many barnacles are there In

How much ts the payroll padded by
spoilsmen who are either Ineomjietent
or uiinnreessary ?
How much unnecessary expense Is
saddled on the city by the complicated
system and loose methods of old fash
ioned political government?
These questions are suggested by
recent revelations concern Ing irregu
larities In the payroll and excess of
expense and duplication of officers In
several departments. Hhoeing a mule

ance of several Inapectora to one work

economy In organisation and Inspec

of courage. It has too often noted the
absence of Jingoes from the firing line
It has too often noted that It Is the
emoluments of politics and not the
honora of war that they crave.
Neither will history be less generous
and positive In approving the Presi
dent's Judgment. It will say that he
displayed a wisdom worthy of his
splendid sentiments. No one doubts
that tho United Plates could go Into
Mexico, enforce pence and corn# Into
possession of the country. History will
not he so certain that that was the
most expeditious way of compelling
peace It will say that intervention
was the costliest price that thla coun
try could have paid for peace In Mex
lco. And If, coming Into possession of
the country, we should keep it as a
reimbursement of our expenditure In
lives and treasure, It would say that,
not horror of war. but covetousness of
territory hail moved us. And that b
