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 looming to sav them without stopping to think whether in justice or fair play 1 they should be said Why Not Commission Government For the Good City of Augusta ?

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.

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.

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 four times In two days and an allow ance of several Inapectora to one work man Indicates that efficiency and economy In organisation and Inspec tion arc sadly lacking In the city gov ernment. Padding payrolls and multiplying departments and offices are the fav orite occupations of party apotlamen In public office, * 'lt y governments of the old, complicated, cumbersome political form which have been under party control are curiosities of Ingenious waste. The conditions existing In the elty hall offer overwhelming arguments tn favor of simplified government and efficient business management with the substitution of the merit for the spoils system. will not accept Jingoism as the proof 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 actually the motive which moves umry of those who are denouncing the Prc<- Ident for his refusal to plunge the country Into war. The dignity of the Nation has not suffered It has, on the contrary, been exalted . And eventually many of those who are now Inciting tho Jingoes by their Insensate applause will, In the calmer mood of retrospec tion, lend their voices to swell iho paean which a grateful Nation will slug to a President who was not temp ted by the taunts of politician* to depart from the course of statesman ship.—Dallas Morning News. short, and do not wait too long.—Kx ctiange.
