Most Important Requisite Is Sympa
thy With People Vice-President
Should Be in Cabinet Op
poses Second Term,
NEW YORK, July It William J.
Bryan has written an article entitled "My
Conceptions of the Presidency" for the
July 18 Issue of Collier's Weekly. He
says:
"The President's power for Rood or for
harm is over-estimated.. This Govern
ment Is a government, of checks and bal
ances: power is distributed among differ
ent departments and each of them works
in co-operation with others. In the mak
ing of laws, for instance, the President
Joins with the Senate and House; may
recommend, but he Is powerless to legis
late, except as a majority of the Senate
and the House concur with him, The
Senate and the House are also independ
ent of each other, except in a veto over
the other, and the President has a veto
over both except that the Senate and
House can by a two-thirds vote override
the President's veto. The influence of
the President over legislation is therefore
limited. He shares the responsibility
with a large number of people's represen
tatives. .
Be in Sympathy With People. .
"Even in the enforcement of law he is
hedged about by restrictions. He acts
through an Attorney-General (whose ap
pointment must be approved by the Sen
ate) and offenders against the law must
be prosecuted in the courts, so that here
again tre responsibility is divided. In
the making of important appointments
too he must consult the Senate and 's of
necessity, compelled to exercise care and
discretion. -
"The most Important requisite in a
President, as in other officials, is that
sympathy shall be with the whole people
rather than with any fraction of the pop
ulation. He is constantly called upon to
act In the capacity of a judge deciding
between the importunities of those who
seek favors and the rights and interests
of the public. Unless his sympathies are
right, the few are sure to have an advan
tage over the many, for the masses have
no one to present their claims. They act
only at elections and must trust to their
representatives to protect them from all
their foes.
Must Withstand Influence.
"Second, the President must have a
knowledge of public questions and the
ability to discern between the true and
the false; he must be able to analyze the
conditions and to detect the sophistries
that are always employed by those who
seek unfair advantages.
"He must possess the moral courage
to stand against the influences that are
brought to bear In favor of special inter
ests. In fact the quality of moral cour
age is as essential in a public official as
either right sympathies or a trained mtnd.
' T'Tha President must have counsellors,
and. to make wise use of counsellors, he
must be open to conviction. The Presi
dent i is committed by his platform to
certain policies, and the platform is bind
ing. He is also committed to certain prin
ciples of government and these he is in
duty bound to apply in, all matters thai
aome before him.
Put Vice-President in Cabinet.
"But there Is a wide zone in which he
must act upon his own judgment and
here he ought to have the aid of intelli
gent, conscientious and faithful advisors.
The law provides these to a certain ex
tent In giving him a cabinet, and the
Vice-President ought to be made a mem
ber of the Cabinet cx-officto, in order
first that the President may have the
benefit of his wisdom and knowledge of
affairs, and second, that the Vice-President
may be better prepared to take up
the work of the President in case of a
vacancy In the Presidential office. There
ought to be cordial relations also between
the President and those who occupy po
sitions of trust in the co-ordinate
branches of the Government, for our Gov
ernment, is not a one-man Government,
but a government in which the chosen
representatives of the people labor to
gether to give expression to the will of
the voters.
Can Do Splendid Work.
"But the Presidency Is the highest po
sition in the world and its occupancy is
an Important factor in all National mat
ters. If he is a devout believer in our
theory of government, recognizes the con
stitutional distribution of powers, trusts
thoroughly in the people and fully sym
pathizes with them in their aspirations
and hopes, he has an opportunity to do
a splendid work. He occupies a vantage
ground from which he can exert a whole
some Influence in favor of each forward
movement.
"The responsibilities of the office are
so great that the occupant ought to be
relieved of every personal ambition, save
the ambition to prove worthy of the con
fidence of his countrymen: for this reason
he ought to enter the position without
thought or prospect of a second term.
"While the burdens of such an office
are heavy and while the labors of the
office are exacting and exhausting, the
field of service is large and. measuring
its greatness by service, a President, by
consecrating himself to the public weal,
can make himself secure in the affections
of his fellow-citizens while he lives and
create for himself a permanent place In
tho Nation's history."

der the direct primary law. There were
no Issues and no contests between par

(Special.) "William McCully, son of J. A.
McCully. of this city, writes from Cerro
de Pasco, Peru, where he has been en
gaged in railroad work, that during the
revolutionary fighting his room-mate was
killed and the American flag fired upon
by the rebels.
The rebels were approaching the town
and making good progress until they
reached a point 100 miles from the city,
where they required a new locomotive.
The trainmen ran the engines into Cerro
de Pasco, and when the revolutionists
cut the wires, O. M. Chaleen, an Ameri
can, and superintendent of telegraphs,
took an engine with a big American flag
mounted on the pilot and started out to
make repairs. The locomotive ran into
an ambuscade of the rebels and Chaleen
was killed.
The foreigners in Cerro were caught
between the lines of the government and
revolutionary forces and took refuge In
the stone building of the telegraph com
pany. This was riddled with bullets, but
the foreigners escaped serious injury, and
the rebels ware defeated in short order
and driven-from the city.

WASHINGTON. July 13. Official ad
Vices which reached the State Depart

that the Honduran government forces
have retaken the small town of Gracias
and add that they are about to move
to the more important city of Cholu
teca. To this extent the government
appears to have the advantage.
On the other hand Honduras is men
aced from ths northern border. On
the Caribbean sea border there are
continually reiterated reports of at
tacks on Puerto Cortez, while General
Leo Christmas, whom the State Depart
ment offlc'als style a soldier of for
tune, is reported in the country Just a
few miles from Puerto Cortez. The
force mentioned In one of the dis
patches as. being on a small island
about 18 miles distant from Puerto
Cortez is presumably the one from
which an attack is feared.
The State Department is being fully
advised of the situation in the whole
Central American district, but Mr.
Dodge, the minister- to Honduras and
Salvador, explains that reliable inform
ation is difficult to obtain.
The United States and Mexican Gov
ernments still continue to use their
best efforts to keep peace in that part
of the world, but have gone to the
extent thus far only of offering their
friendly mediation. The American
cruiser Albany is now on its way
from Panama to Amapala, the Pacific

TRIES TO START FIRES
Firebug Makes Two Attempts at
Fifth and Alder Streets.
' Fire at 1105 o'clock Monday night in
the two-story frame building on the north
BARGAINS THAT
west corner of Fifth and Alder streets,
said to be the property of the Corbett
estate, drew a large crowd last night,
but did little damage. The police are
investigating the affair, however, as it
is believed to have been of undoubted
incendiary origin. The building has a
frontage of about 100 feet on Fifth street
and the same extent on Alder 3tr.ct.
The upstairs is occupied by Aune's pho
tograph gallery, a dentist and business1
offices. The first floor has been divided
into several stores, but within the past
few days these have been unoccupied,
owing to extensive repairs being made.
Two attempts were made to fire it. The
first was in the store at 135 Fifth street.
This was discovered by J. W. Adams,
an insurance agent of 12214 Sixth street,
who saw the blaze from the opposite
side of the street and ran over to put it
out. A man who had been skulking in
the rear of the store was seen to run
hastily away. He had Ignited a pile of
paper and rubbish.
Ten minutes afterwards another blaze
was started in the rear of 131 Fifth
street. This was wen by a number of
people, who found that the flames had
gained too much headway for them to
fight, and consequently an alarm was
rung in. This time a man was also seen
to leave the place running. He was lost
In the crowd. For the second time a pile
of rubbish and paper had been thrust
under the flooring and lighted with a
match. It is not known what insurance
was carried on the property.
MAY BE FATALLY CRUSHED

ASTORIA, Or.', July 14. (Special.)
John A. Stademan, a passenger on the
Steamship Rose City, was seriously if
not fatally crushed by being caught be
tween the vessel's hull and jl dolphin yes
terday afternoon as the steamer was leav
ing her wharf en route to Portland. Stade
man and a companion came running down
to the dock as the Rose City was backing
away. The latter climbed up on the dol
phin, and Jumped to the steamer's deck
as her stern swung in, but Stademan
grabbed the cork fender, hanging over
the side, and a moment later was caught
between the hull and the dolphin. His
body was badly crushed. He was hauled
on board as quickly as possible" and a
launch summoned to take him ashore.
Although so seriously squeezed that he
was black in the face, and his eyes bulged
from their sockets. Stademan didn't lose
consciousness and talked freely of his in
juries, saying that his greatest pains were
in his back and chest. He asked that no
word be sent to his mother, who resides
at Mayfield, Cal., but requested . that
Frank Bosworth. of Portland, be notified
of the accident. rr. Fulton, who is at
tending the injured man, says that while
he is in a precarious condition, his In
juries are not necessarily fatal. His col
lar bone and three or four ribs are broken
and it Is feared his pelvic bones also are

is 45 years of age. a widower, and has
one son. He Is a member of Court

MAY UPSET LUMBER RATES
Railroads Threaten to Enjoin Deci
sion of Commission.
SEATTLE. Wash., July 14. (Special.)
Lumbermen report that the industry Is
as badly paralyzed as before the recent
rate decision by the Interstate Commerce
Commission on account of rumors that
the railroads are contemplating enjoining
the decision of the Commission in the
Federal Courts. If this should be done,
the effect would probably be to continue
for possibly as long as two years the
uncertainty prevailing previous to the de
cision. Robert B. Allen, associate editor of the
Pacific Lumber Trade Journal, said yes
terday that he had been informed on re
liable authority that the railroads had
practically decided either to take a
straight appeal to the Federal Courts or
to enjoin the decision of the Commission.
The former course would leave the rates
established by the Commission in force
pending t-ie decision of the appeal, which

Police Have No Clew to Slayer of
Hazel Drew at Troy.
TROT; N." Y.. July 14. More and" more
baffling as investigation proceeds becomes
the mystery surrounding the tragic death
of 19-year-old Hazel Drew, whose body
was found in Teal's Pond on Sunday with
the skull crushed and a corset string
tightly knotted about the neck. That she
was murdered is certain, but the most
searching Investigation has failed to re
veal even the slightest clue, to her slayer
and no motive is discovered. She had
no sweetheart so far as learned.
Rudolph Gundrum today corroborated
Frank Smith's story of having seen the
missing girl on the roadway last Tuesday
night. He said he had' started for Troy
and' took Smith, who is a half-witted
laborer, along In the farm wagon. As
they neared Teal's Pond, a young woman
met them and spoke to Smith, calling him
by his first name and the boy replied, ad
dressing her as "Hazel." As they drove
along Gundrum said Smith explained to
him that the girl was Hazel Drew. Smith
accompanied Gundrum quite a distance
from the point where the young woman
was seen.
Gundrum says that as he passed
through that place at 11 o'clock that night
on his way home he saw Smith talking
with a party of men there. When he
reached home he told Miss Drew's uncle,
William Taylor, of having met the girl
on the road. Taylor them told him that
she had not reached the house and that
he knew nothing of her being in the
vicinity.
SLUMP
PROVISIONS
Pork Particularly Shows Heavy
Losses in Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 14. Provisions, particu
larly pork, took a long backward leap
today, scoring losses all along the line
ranging from 2714c to 87490c. The mar
ket was demoralized. An . overbought
condition prevailed owing to persistent
purchases for a week or more, and when
some of the more timid longs who had
come in at top prices yesterday attempted
to get out of their lines they gave the
signal for a general selling movement
that sent prices down.
A good many stop orders came out
as prices moved downward, the execution
of which aggravated the general weak
ness. September pork from 16.7214 last
night went off to 15.8214 15.85. other de
liveries making almost as great losses.
Lard netted losses of 2714 to 3214 and ribs
from 3714 to 50c.
The packing house interests werecred
ited with much of the selling.

many years has Just swept the south
slope of the San Bernardino Mountains,
burning a path 12 miles In length and
three miles wide, destroying the Ben
Burnell apiary and several houses on the

east of Verdemont from a spark from a
Santa Fe locomotive, it is thought.
Several recently-completed firebreaks

them without difficulty. . Late tonight a
shifting of the wind enabled the fire
fighters to get control of the flames on
the mountains a mile above the lower
