BllYAN’S “DESERVIN6” DEMDCRATS
All America is laughing or crying at the exposure of
the manner in which Secretary of State Bryan seeks to re-
ward “Deserviug Democrats" by forcing them nolens vol-
ens on foreign countries. in the course of an investigation
concerning the action of the American Minister to the re-
public of Santo Domingo, a letter was made public in which
Mr. Bryan appealed to the American Receiver of Customs
there, Mr. Walker W. Vick, for positions “to reward de-
serving Democrats." Lest we may be accused under pre-
sent circumstances of unnecessarily applying the moral,
we prefer to submit to our readers the views of two of the
foremost “organs” of public opinion in the United States.
Ilrooklyn Daily Eagle and Colliers Weekly.
The first named says:
“Extracts from a letter written by William J. Bryan to
Walker W. Vick. American Receiver of Customs in Santo
Domingo:
‘Can you let me know what positions you have at your
disposal with which to reward deserving Democrats?
Whenever you desire a suggestion from me in regard to a
man for any place there call on mc.
‘You have had enough experience in politics to know
how valuable workers are when the campaign is on and
how difficult it is to find suitable rewards for all the deserv-
ing. I do not know to what extent a knowledge of Spanish
is necessary-for employees. Let me know what is required,
together with the salary, and when appointments src likely
to be`made.’ `
“lt should he remembered that the positions desired
for 'deserving Democratsf who are also campaign work-
ers, a'nd,thercfore, worthy of 'suitable rewards’ are part
and parcel of the Dominican customs service and salaried
out of the Dominican revenues. We submit that, as a prac-
tical politician who knows how to organize andmalntain
a machine, Mr. Bryan need ask no odds of Mr. Roger Sul-
livan of illinois or Mr. Charles Fi Murphy of New York,
both of whom he has upon occasion vehemently denounc-
ed." ’
Collin-r‘s Weekly thus treats the revelation:
“Santo Domingo is a little country on the island of
Haiti, down below Cuba, of some eighteen thousand .square
mlles;`.and about half a. million population-all shades.
Santa- Domingo was much harassed by revol\itlous'up to
1907, ‘fwhen Roosevelt appointed n collector of customs and
our Government assumed a sort of halfway guardianship
over it. If ever there was a trust relationship. this is one;
if ever there was a chanceto set an example of good work.
of honest and efficient. administration, the chalice and the
duty are ours there. But this is the place where William
Jennings Bryan tried to edge in his job-hunting Democrats,
the faithful brethren of' his niany campaigns. The contrast
between the men thut ure needed in Santo Domingo and the
political hack workers Bryan put there is fairly comic in
its breadth. This is clearly the explanation of Plndell of
Peoria. and of all the other second-rate politicians that
Bryan foisted on our disrupted diplomatic service. Were
Minister Rockhili and others like him retired only to make
room for these campaign spiclers and corn-belt Iiannns?
lt is a great weakness of Woodrow Wilson's Administration
that his lack of' vigorous personal contacts, hirabsorption
in abstractions leaves him defcnccless against this petty
and sordid trading in appointments by those' under him.
As for Bryan, the country is pretty clearly disgusted with
the contrast between the high-flown ethical pretensions of
his famous Chatsuqua speeches and the everyday real-
ity of his political practices. lt is like some old deacon
who will sniflie about yesterday’s "precious sermon" and
then proceed to dicker for Widow Brown’s meadowlaud.
This is not modern business. and Bryan in Santo Domingo
is not modern politics.
“It is idle- for the enemies of Bryan and the Administ-
ration to claim that there was anything .sinister in a finan-
cial way in the Santo Domingo matter. Indeed, that whole
affair has turned out to be a tempest in a teapot. The on-'
ly important result of it is the unearthing of Ilryan's letter
which roveulad him as having the mind of a rather cheap
spoilsman and being intent upon jobs for ‘deserving Dem-.
ocrats' at a time when our foreign affairs were suffering
by his insttention and incapacity. The minister whom
Bryan appointed, James M. Sullivan. was not dishonest.
He was, as one of the witnesses expressed it ‘just a big
slob’. }-Ie did sit around the legution in his uudershirt and
he did take barefoot walks in the grass. These were, like
Bryan’s letter, lapses in dignity but not in integrity. It
is wrong to infer too much about Bryan from the revelation
in his letter. lie really means all that he says on the lec-
ture platform. ills idealism is that of n self-hypnotized
evangelist.. indeed. platform evangelism was the career
dignity, taste, and :icrfurncy of mind was a cruelty to him
and an' injustice to the country. lie is as out of place in
the State Department ns Billy Sunday or Pudercwski.
"Mr. Brysu's career illustrates the high cost of n
place in the sun. So long as‘he was a failure he was a brill-
iant success. It was Mr. I3rynn's free-silver eloquence as
much perhaps as any one force that stiffened McKinlr~y‘s
backbone as defender of sound money. As 'Boy 0rator,'
as missionary of popular government, as vigorous defender
of all the moraiistic trulsms,-'as a candidate for the Pres-
idency perennialiy turned down and percnnially cheerful.
Mr. Bryan .deserved well of the Republic. ironically
enough. ,his crowning public service, his action at Balti-
inorlliii making sure Woodrow Wilson's nomination. mark-
ed ilNbeglnniug of the end. For`Bryan'.s public usefulness
ouded where his public service began. Perhaps he was
discouraged from making a real effort to be an efllcient
Secretary of State by the thought that men like- Jefferson,
Marshall. Monroe. Clay, Webster. Calhoun, Seward, Bayard. l
Blaine, Olney. I-lay, and Root had preceded him. That at-_i
taiuuiout to _high odlce marks not the crowning of a career
but the chance to carve one out or opportunity has been
too subtle an idea for Mr. Bryan. ills idea of administer-
ing the foreign relations of o great nation in stirring times
and the terms of settlement, and many of the most optimis-
tic sec in recent events in Germany an early collapse, to
be brought about by famine conditions in Germany. In this
the prophets are at sea. There are as yet no signs of col-
lapse, not even signs of discouragement on the part of
Germany. Her present activities both in the east and west
indicate rather that she will carry out her original threat
to fight to the last drop of her blood. But there will be an
end and. a settlement. The end will be when Germany
asks for it and the settlement will be what Great Britain,
France and Russia will choose to make it. Quite'early in
the conflict President Wilson tendered his offices in
bringing it to.a close by intervention and mediation
Since then many things have happened to embitter the
Allies against Germany. and now it seems altogether pro-
bable that all' offers of mediation will be definitely _ and
decisively rejected, and that Germany will not get peace
till she asks it of those who are alone in a. position to
grant the request. There is not the slightest probability
that any terms will be offered to her. She has so unpre-
cedentedly, so gratuitously. and so unjustitlably violated
the most humane conventions and the most ordinary do-
cencies of modern warfare that her offences cannot be cou-
doned. She has challenged her fate, and now she must
drain the cup to the last and bitterest drops.
As Great Britain, France, and Russia are carrying on
this war in the interest of neutrals, and, in order to main-
tain the sanctlties of treaties, are incurring enormous loss-
es and suffering cruel inilictions they could easily have
avoided, it is not at all likely they will ask, or even nc-
ccpt, any offers of help to makc up the bill of costs or ns-
sess thc resulting damages. The bill will he exemplary
when it is completed, and no time will be lost in present-
ing itwhen it is requested, for the assessment has been
in process of calculation since the very beginning of the
war. There will be no elements of relation in the terms
of peace granted, but tho penalty must bo made both np-
proprlatc and adequate to the wrongs perpetrated. There
will, be cash indemultles to Belgium, France, Russia. and
Servia; there will be conquered colonies to Great Ilrltalu,
France and Portugal; there will be ccssions of German
and Austro-liungariart territory-to Belgium, France, Scr-
via, and Russia; there will bc rc-luction and limitation of
armaments, with acceptance of some common tribunal in-
vested with powcr to .enforce its decrees by practical and
reasonable sanctions. flfrom present appearances this will
be the outcome of thewar butthe end is not yet.

WHERE GERMANS EXCEL
_ -.. _.4.°*l*°'”
The Germans lutvc excelled, and still excel in many
things, and notwithstanding the strained feelings occasion-
ed by the war we slillremembcr that the brand, “made in
Germany" was not lohg since regarded as evidence of a
certain kind of superiority. in those lines on which they
have specialized it must be admitted that they had few
superiors. Although the war has necessitated the aban-
donment of _many specialties, particularly industrial ones,
there are still left them a few choice cullings which they
are in at position to pursue regardless of the bloodshed
and the horrors incident to war. One of these, perhaps
the one which stands out _most prominently over the
smoke and the din of battle, is lying. Lest the reader be
shocked at the abrupt introduction of this ugly \vord, we
hasten to give a. sample from one of the leading papers in
Berlin, “The Tageblatt." After the “baby ‘ltil1ing” raid on
Scarborough and Hartlepool on the English Coast, this is
what The Tageblatt said: "What we want is to get the
British fleet in the open against us. That was our object
in the bombardment, and so long as the fleet continues in
its cowardly way to skulk in its hiding place we will hope
that many more English towns are shelled by German
cruisers." Afterwards when the German fleet sighted the
"cowardly" British ships and ran away but could not run
fast enough and their largest cruiser was sunk and others
damaged, the Tageblatt. and other German papers pictured
it to the deluded German public as a great naval victory
for the German fleet, two British warships being sunk and
the others driven off. '
The; Germans have succeeded, since the war began.
in persuading their people that the German army was
winning all along the line and that the German fleet could
not get at the British because the latter were hiding.
Some day, and before long, the German public will
discover that the current history of the war as it was
"made in Germany" was the most superb bit of falsehood
and deception ever perpetrated and then, as a certain
Portuguese writer once said in connection with thc even-
tual "discovery" of the Kaiser by the German people.
“there will not be enough .stones from Lorraine to Pomer-
ania to stone this counterfeit Moses.

Next morning Mrs. Cocksure felt a

As evening approached she developed
more unpleasant symptoms. This time
she insisted that her family physician

‘ WASHINGTON. Feb. 2.-That
-"Pisa is Pigs," is an old aphorlsm,hut
that "Pigs is War," is something new.
This gigantic European war. accord-
ing to the different parties to it, was
-calmed by several hundred different
events. Some people say it wus start-
ed when Sir. Edward Goetohen, British
ambassador st Berlin. discharged his
German cook; others say it was Ger-
man militarlsrn and many believe Rus-
sia started the conflict by mobilizing
against Austria. And by this.time,
most everyone has forgotten that the
war really began when Austria re-
fused the acknowledgement of Ser-
viu to her ultimatum. '
Well, this ste-ry of “Pigs is War,"
goes back to the time when Servia
and Austria were flndln it~ difllcult
mutual border from throwing stones
at each other.
Some three years ago, according to
'officials of the Austro-Hungarian em-
bassy. the armies of Austria and Ser-
via almost came to blows over the
shipment of pigs from Belgrade and
other Servlau cities to Bosnia.
Servia insisted that all pigs, sick pigs
and well ones, should be sold in Bos-
ina. Austria said pigs having cholera
must not be admitted to Austrian
slaughter houses. Because of the pre-
valence of cholera in Servia. this Aus-
trian order interfered with Servia‘s
exports of hogs. Numerous skirm-
ishes along . the border betwoen hog
shippers, hog buyers and hog ruisers
became so acute that the foreign of-
fices of the two governments had to
take the matter up. After some ex-
changes of diplomatic notes thc mat-
'ter was adjusted.
From that time up until thc assass-
ination of the Arch-Duke of Austria
and his wife at Serajava, Bosnia, the
_exporters and importers of those twc
countries were flghtingcver the ship
ments of pigs. Servia never “got
'over" the attitude-pf Austria.
So, pigs it was, that started this
war. ._ ' _ - =

PUT TO FLIGHT BY SIGHT OF
CAME-RA. ,
An amusing story of how a German
:tirman wus put to flight by the sight
of a camera is told by ‘1Eye-witness."
During the past-week..he says, there
has been there encounters in the air
between British and =German acro-
planes, as a result of which thc hos-
tile mnchine in each case has been
forced to go down in the German lines.
On one ‘occasion our machine chased
n Taube. and tho oliservorensptietl his
automatic pistol at the enemy, with-
out any visible result, ut about 150 ft.
range.
I-le then proceeded to' take :1 photo-
graph and the appearance of the cnm-
ero seems to have nlnrmcd the Gor-
man, who ut once lied.
Upon another occasion a somewhat
difllcult situation arose when ri bomb
which was being dropped caught in
n string sud remained suspended
three or four feet below the aeroplane.
There was no wny of rcuchiug the
bomb and it was impossible to land.
Finally the observer kicked u hole
through the floor of the fuselage, i. c.,
body of the acroplnnc-hooked the
string with his foot and shook it uu-
til the bomb fell off.
'1‘wo stories ure currcut. concerning
the French, which illustrate thc spirit
that aulmates all ranks.
One is that xi private who. when
carrying a despatch, came upon a
trench containing fifty Germans. lie
summoned them to surrender. l
Thinking that he must be the lend-
or of a considerable force close be-
hind him. the Germans held up their
hands. He then shouted to some ot'
his comrades, who were in n trench at
Gemianu wore all made prisoners,
The second story is that of a cer-
tain famous French regiment, which
had been fighting incessantly for some
days, gaining a llttlc ground every
day until it had worked its way close
to thc main trench held by the enemy.
It wus then this roglnient’s turn
to be rellevedr but its members sent
a request. that ihcy should be permit-
ted to stay one day longer, ami thus
gain the glory of driving the enemy
'om his position.
After describing how dlfllcult all
operations are rendered by the mud,
"Eye-Witness" illustrates his re-
marks as followsz-
"It is reported that in one place the
mud is so bad that in n recent action
between the French and the Germans
neither side could fire their rifles, and
clubbod them or fought with shovels
or pickaxes."

The cooking was progressing splendid-
ly and the appetizing smell dwelt in
centra_tlng grip. Suddenly there was a
loud explosion. The mess tins nnd
their contents went heavenward. the
embers of the fire were scattered in
all directions. and the two cooks took
to their heels and went like mischief
to the shelter of a hedge. Meanwhile
the firework display continued with
intermittent bursts. We eventually ns-
certaiued that our two hungry chums
had made their fire over a discarded
.emergency bandolier which had con-
tained some fifty rounds or so of am-
munition. Being made of khaki cloth
it had not been noticed.

TO FILL HOT WATER BAG
A hot water bsg is very often used
in-the home to relieve many a pain
and ache, and yet it is ineffectual if
it is not filled properly. The desired
effect is obtained only by the heat of
the water in the bal!. as we all know,
and yet few of us consider that un-
less the air is expelled from the bag
we do not get the full benefit of the
heat. Air is a non-conductor of both
heat and cold.
To expel the air quickly and easily
from the bag, a nurse gives the follow-
ing advice: After having filled the bug
with sufficient water, be sure' - _that
you do not make the bag too heavy
for a tender par; of the body; twist lt.
holding the twisted part firmly in the
one hand while you quickly screw thc
cap on tightly. Then hold the bag by
the bottom and shake vigorously, to
make sure there is no lcakngeat the
cap. it is important that every hot
water bag should have a nice, warm
cover. Outing flannel is very good for
this purpose. This cover can be kept
clean, and it feels very much, nicer
next the skin than would the rubber of
the bug.
