HALL & RUCKEL New York Mh tea S e LE AND FEMALE CREATED HE THEM ” Mr. Bryan Probably Not the Worst Ever Continued from page Nicaragua no matter; that would be only a detail. The way in which Mr. Bryan amounts to something has nothing to do with details or executive efficiency. His lay has been to be a voice erying in the wilderness, “Prepare ye the way of democracy”. That has been his job, and the future historian (if his- tory concludes to run on beyond the year 1915) may record that he did it. This vocation has saved him at least being a lawyer or a qualified diplomat. Mr, Lowes Dickinson, the thoughtful British publicist, has hopes for the sat- isfactory settlement of the affairs of rope after the war if only the diplomats can be kept out of it. Dip- lomats, he says, would re-settle Europe from the point of view of states instead of from the point of view of human life. He does not want it settled so He wants all the diplo- mats to go hang and let what is left of Europe be settled from the point of view of human life We do not recommend him to employ Mr. Bryan in this particular work, but it is true (we think) that if employed Mr. Bryan would show himself free from the bias of diplomats and eager to settle everything from the point of view of human life. Ever since he put out his first large advertisement in 1896 Mr. Bryan has been eager to settle things from the point of view of as much of human life as he could see. He never could see it all, or nearly enough, but he could usually see aspects of it that the qualified diplomatic minds overlooked. And what he saw he always mentioned, so he has, in his day and generation, been useful. There are always lots of people who want to settle every- thing from the viewpoint of states and statuses—of “the interests” of the banks, of capital, of foreign policy— and there must for health be now and then some one who thinks first of human life. It seems possible that when this war is over all the professional diplomats in the world, or at least a selected de- tachment of them, will be driven out on a railroad bridge and then a train of cars run over it and the subject changed. But if so, Mr. Bryan will not be of the party. He is an exempt He is so exempt that it might make people nervous to have him at our helm of state if they were not pretty sure that the helm has been detached from the rudder and the steering is done from the bridge.

Cincinnati,O. us Co., very eminent American is quoted as saying that as he follows the he is more and more for democracy. because no democracy can long main- tain a foreign policy. It is ideas of that sort entertained hy gentlemen of ability that assist to the opinion that, all things—and especially the times— considered, Mr. Bryan is probably not the worst Secretary of State we ever had.
