ANTI-DEMOCRATIC SECRECY.
Mr. George Wlckershntn. formerly
attorney general of the United State*,
hnso come out with a protect against
the policy of *uppre**lon of new* from
th* state department. This policy,
It it c*n he railed a polley. Is In
reality nothing more than the , atural
reault of attempting a thing which 1*
Impractical'.
Under the Beaiimptlon that no se
cret 1* kept frog* the public and that
every voter In thg country ha* a right
to know all that goes on In Washing
ton the state department ha* been
gradually drifting Into a department
of my*tery. not to gay darkness. Thl*
ha* become necenanry, for the very
reaeon that the public nnd the news
papers have felt It their right to aleze
upon every hit of Information and
-every matter, promising sensation and
diversion. It appear* to he a ease of
gvrlaging too far hark In the old di
rection because of trying to go to im
poNslhl. length* in the new. Mr.
Wlckersham point* out that every
other civilized nation In the world
puhllßhe* from time to time an au
thoritative statement, with the diplo
matic correspondence relating to every
Incident of International relation
which concerns that country.
While the United States makes no
such puhltcnt.on*. It 1* assumed, wo
suppose, that the press keep* the peo
ple Informed and for this reason no
regular policy of setting forth corre
spondences over International inci
dents has ever been followed. But
it, of course. Is obvious that In deli
cate matters between foreign powers.
It would be mischief-making and
ruinous to 1 eep the public Informed
by allowing news to he freely snd ln
dlscrlmlnatlngly played up In the dally
pa pers.
Mr. Wlckersham think* that the
Whole conduct of our foreign affairs 1*
•nil-democratic In the extreme.
He declare* he ran “think of no
reason why the United States should
pursue a policy In this regard so en
tirely at variance with the theory of
our government and with the conduct
of other nations. Tho publication from
time to time of blue hooks, white pa
pers or the like—that Is, of authorita
tive statements of questions which
hsve arisen between our country and
foreign nations and of the correspon
dence regarding them would do more
to create what seems to me to he lack
ing at the rrreent tltnr. that la, an in
telllge nt public sentiment regarding
foreign lifts lie. than any agency he
can think of."
We think the suggestion t» worth
Studying. Secretary Bryan hs* prob
ably felt thai s* complete frankness
In giving Immediate news is impoa
slb’e, th* best he could do was . »
drift into the traditional w-nya of se
crecy and keep the whole business
quiet. Indeed, until the Information
from this department can be Issued in
the formal and statistical manner of
the white paper and blue books It is
better not to give It out at al'. Au
thorities In Washington would prob
ably have no anxieties about giving
out news tc the citizens of this coun
try If It were not for the artful snd
Ingenious manner In which partisan
snd unscrupulous papers distort snd
gnrble the Information at hand.
In the “Not hostile, but unfriendly”
Incident w* have a clear ease in point.
When the correspondence we* closed
and the Incident was past, the presi
dent ordered an authoritative state
ment of the question nnd points. A
regular policy of giving formal and
accurate Information would bring our
people to a much bettor comprehen
sion of our International relationships
and help them to act with greater
pci,ic and wisdom, when such mat
ters ars under discussion.

JACK RABBIT FOOLS MR. DOG.
Jack Rabbit wa* coming over tho
hill one morning to visit Farmer Jones'
cabbage patch. lie knew quite well
that Mr. Dog lived at the farm, for
he had offer heard him harking at
night, but ho thought he might sleep
In the daytime.
But Jack Rabbit was mistaken about
Mr. l>og, as ho soon found out, for

den where the cabbage* grew, he
caught sight of Mr. I)og, and Mr. Dog
saw him, too.
Jsck Rabbit darted Into a hole In the
ground and sat very quiet.
“Are you not coming out?" asked Mr.
Dog, after waiting a while In front of
the hole.
•lack Rabbit know that Mr. Dog was
Inquisitive, and he also knew there
whs another hole not fnr from the one
he had entered, and he ktiew also that
Mr. Dog was watching that. too.
“What Is In there?” asked Mr Dog,
poking In hts nose as fast as he could
Jack Rabbit ran to the other hole, and
had hts head out, hut Mr. Dog was too
quick for him and he was there In a
Jiffy.
"Oh, I thought you were at this
end," said Jack Rabbit, Jumping buck.
“Cant't you get your head In a little

pieces of meat? I would bring them
out to you but I nm so little that I
cannot lift them.”
Mr. Dog was all excitement, he
Jumped from one hole to the other, and
wagged Ills tall, giving little, sharp
harks as he went.
“Oh. dear!” thought Jack Rabbit,
"ho will have tho fnrmer here with his
gun If he does not keep still.
"Mr. Dog! Mr Dog!" he called.
“Don't tmtkn such a nolao. I saw the
dog at the next farm ns I came over
the hill and this is where he has stored
Ills hones nnd meat he took from his
master’s pantry, if you make such a
loud nolso he will come running hack
nnd catch you, and you will lose a nice
dinner. Do keep quiet and I will try
to help to get all there Is here."
Mr. Dog stopped harking at once, hut
he kept Ills nose rlose to the hole and
urged Jack Rabbit to try to get tho
meat to the opening.
“If you could only manage to get
your head In a little further,” said
Jack Rabbit, “I am sure I could drag
this very large bone to you. and per
haps this piece of beef I see In one
corner Scratch a little of the earth
away nnd then give your head a hard
push Into the hole, nnd I am sure you
will he able to get them."
lty this time Mr. Dog had forgotten
all about catching Jack Rabbit. He
thought only of the hones nnd tho
piece of beef Jack Rabbit had told
him about
ll* scratched away the enrth as
Jack Rabbit suggested, Hnd then, step
ping hack, he gave a plunge forward
and In went his head.
“Where nre the beef and the hones?"
he asked, easting his eyes about, hut
he did not sec either. All he saw was
the tip end of Jack Rabbit's hind legs
as he flew out of the other hole.
Mr. Dog tried to withdraw his head
hut he found he was held fast and *ll
the time he was kicking nnd pulling.
Jack Rabbit was running as fast as
his little legs could carry him over the
hill to his own home.

CRACOW
Onrnw, the Russian objective In the
campaign In Galicia, is described by the
Encyclopaedia Britannica as “the most
Interesting town in the whole of Po
land.”
“No other Polish town possesseg so
many old and historic buildings,'’ says
this authority, “none of them contains so
many national relics, or has been so
closely associated with the development
and destinies of Poland as Cracow. And
the ancient capital is still the intellec
tual centre of the Polish nation.
“Cracow Is situated in a fertile plain
on the left bank of the Vistula (which
becomes navigable here) and occupies a
position of great strategical importance.
CYacow has 39 churches about half the
number it formerly had—and 25 con
vents for monks end nuns. Of these the
most important is the Stanislaus cathe
dral, in Gothic style, consecrated in 1X59.
ami built on the Wawel, the rocky emi
nence to the s. \V. of the old town. Here
the kings of Poland were crowned, and
this church is nlso the Pantheon of the
Polish nation, the burial place of its
kings and its great men. Here lie the
remains of John Sobleskt, of Thaddaeus
Koscluszko, of Joseph Poniatowskl and
of Adam Mlcktewlcz. Hc4*e also are con
served the remains of St. Stanislaus, the
patron saint of the Poles, who, as bishop
of Cracow. \nhs slain before the altar by
King Poleslnus in 1070. The cathedral
is adorned with many valuable objects
of art. paintings and sculptures, by such
artists as Veit Stoss, Guido Reni, Peter
Vi sc her, Thorwaldsen, etc. Part of the
acient Polish regalia is also kept here."
Housed In a magnificent Gothic build
ing is the Jngelloni-m University. “The
language of instruction is Polish; it is
the second oldest university in Europe—
the oldest being that of Prague—and
was famous during the 15th and 16th
centuries. It was founded by Casimlr
the Great in 1364, and completed by
IgtdisHus Jaglello in ‘I4OO. Its rich li
brary is now housed in the old university
buildings erected in the 15th century. In
the beautiful Gothic court of which a
bronze statue of Copernicus was placed
in 1900. The Polish Academy of Sci
ence, founded in 1K72, is housed In the
new university buildings.
“Among the manufacturers of the
town are machinery, agricultural Imple
ments. chemicals soap, tobacco, etc.
Hut Cracow is more important at a
trading than as an industrial centre. Its
position on the Vistula and at the Junc
tion of several railways makes it the
natural mart for the exchange of the
products of Silesia. Hungary and Rus
sian and Austrian Poland. ,#
