BRYAN WILL ENFORCE LAWS
Proposes to Make It His Main Work
If Elected President.
CEDAR LAKE, Ind.. Aug. 24. W. J.
Tirvai!. en route from Chicago to In
dianapolis, arave out an interview. In
which he announced that. If elected, his
main work would be the enforcement
of the law. He said the Republicans,
recognizing that they cannot meet the
arguments presented In support of the
Iiemoeratlc platform, are attempting to
scare voters by a resort to their im
aginations. He asserted that Mr.
Tuft incorporated several of the scares
In his notification speech.
"He threatened a panic If the Demo
cratic tariff policy Is adopted. He In
troduced another scare on the guaran
teeing of banking deposits, and still an
other on the trust question,' said Mr.
Bryan. 1
"Others are asking what I shall do
If elected on different questions that
may come before me.
"Insofar as these questions affect
legislation they are answered In the
platform. I shall favor the carrying
out of the platform to the letter and
In spirit. So far as the executive
duties are concerned, my main work
will be the enforcement of the law.
'"My Initiation as well as my oath of
office binds me to obedience to the
law's enforcement as I find It.
'The Republicans have had control
of the Federal Government for nearly
12 years. They have had a chance to
repeal every law objectionable to Re
publican Legislators and to enact every
law that the Republican leaders
deemed necessary for the guidance of
the Executive, and there will be an
other session of Congress after the
election at which they can attend to
any matter which they nave neglected
or overlooked. It seems to me, there
fore, that with the opportunities they
have had and still have they are
stopped from predicting any scare on
my actions In executive matters."

Cases Reversed.
RAILROADS BADLY BEATEN
Circuit Court of Appeals at St,
Louis Says Act of Congress Im
poses Absolute Duty Common
Law Is Not Applicable.
ST. LOUIS. Aug. 24. Two sweeping
opinions, noteworthy In that the de
cisions of the lower courts were re
versed In full in each Instance, were
handed down by the United States
Court of Appeals here today, sustaining
the position of the Government against
the railroads in the matter of the Fed
eral safety appliance law. The cases
decided were those of the Government
against the Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe Railroad and of the Government
against the Denver & Rio Grande Rail
way Company. By these deciaions the
Court of Appeals abrogates the com
mon law rules of "reasonable care"
that have heretofore governed, and be
hind which the railroads sought to
shelter, and upholds In full the acts
of Congress, which the opinions hold,
now entirely supplant the common law
rules.
In the two cases decided different
grounds of defense were tried, that the
railroads might contest the safety ap
pliance acts from every possible point.
The Denver & Rio Grande case was
argued before the lower court on de
murrers, while tha Santa. Fe case was
tried by a Jury. The railroads won
both cases in the lower courts.
The syllabus in the Atchison, Topeka
& Santa Fe case lays down the new
rule of law under the acts of Congress
as follows:
The safety appliance law of Con
gress imposes upon a railway company
in the situations in which it is applica
ble an absolute duty to maintain the
prescribed coupling appliances in oper
ative condition and is not satisfied by
reasonable care to that end."

HELP CONSULAR SERVICE
Government to Send Abroad, Spe
cially Trained Agents.
Woodcraft Magazine.
The gentlemen of the Consular service
who reside abroad for their country's
good may "view with alarm" a project
that promises to be brought vigorously to
the attention of the American public. It
is nothing more or less than a plan for
the improvement of the consular service.
Those of us who have fead many of the
reports from consuls know well how
it is for each to lam
baste his own people as purblind and inert
manufacturers ana meruiiemio.
usually complimentary, however, to the
competitors his countrymen encounter.
This would indeed be a serious situation
were it not tempered by the fact that
consuls have the same tendency, no mat
ter from what land they hall. To learn
how bright and aggressive is the Ameri
can or the German campaign for business
read the reports from representatives of
the British government. The messages
sent home by American consuls are quite
as enthusiastic over the longer credits, the
superior packing and ail the other finan
cial and manufacturing excellencies they
see so clearly in the export trade of the
Germane and Britons.
This dissatisfaction with their own
people has been frequent among the con
suls of all nations and has borne an un
expected harvest. Not a few critics at
home have In turn been curious as to the
merits of the men abroad. The result of
this attention has been a growing con
viction that there were sad defects in the
class of exports comprising consuls and
commercial agents. Some of these ex
ported Americana had been consigned to
countries and purposes for which they had
been poorly designed. They were packed
with little knowledge of the proper re
quirements. Knowing something of the
crude methods of their own training; and
selection, it is only natural that they of
all men should be suspicious of all other
shipments from the same source. They
had the goods at hand from which to
make comparisons. Illustration is the
better argument. What, indeed, could not
be expected of those thus represented by
the unfit?
Perhaps a sprinkling of technical
ability ought not to be a bad thing for
the consul or commercial agent. A
fair acquaintance with shop practice
and manufacturing considerations
would add weight to his opinion as to
what can be done for foreign markets
and their peculiar demands. A me
chanic familiar with factory procedure
and product, capable of recording ac
curate observations as to what he sees
and hears, and having a fair acquaint
ance with commercial customs in his
own land, could do much to advance
the best interests of these United
States. Surely there is no valid reason
why those lacking these advantages
should be sent In the vain hope of
boosting our foreign trade.

W. T. Swinburne, with the torpedo-destroyer
Preble off the port
bow, seven cruisers of the Pacific fleet
and seven destroyers sailed out of the
Golden Gate today, on a cruise to
Hawaii and Samoa. The black lines
of the small rakish torpedo craft form
ing a sharp contrast to the big buff
and white cruisers that loomed up
above them, in the blue waters and
dazzling sunlight, the fleet presented
a beautiful picture as it slowly steam
ed through the harbor from Man-o'-War
row, south of Goat Island, in
single column formation with a de
stroyer off the port bow of each.
Following the West Virginia, came
the Maryland with the Stewart; the
Pennsylvania with the Perry; the
Tennesee flying the flag of Rear-Admiral
Sebree, with the Hopkins; the
Washington with the Hull; the Cali
fornia with the Truxton and the South
Dakota with the Whipple.
Arriving outside the Heads, each
cruiser passed out a ten-inch hemp
hawser, 450 yards long, and took in
tow a destroyer." The fleet then
formed In double column formation, 400
yards apart, and a distance of 1000
yards separating the cruisers In each
column, and started on its cruise with
the torpedo destroyers In tow.
The fleet Is scheduled to arrive at
Honolulu, September z, remain there
eight days and then tow the destroy
ers to Pago-Pago, Samoa, reaching
there Oct. 7 and leaving that port for
San Diego on Oct. 17, the day that the
Atlantic battleship fleet arrives in Ja
panese waters.
The destroyers will have steam on
one boiler for emergency, and should
the massive hemp hawsers break, each
cruiser Is provided with a supply of
five-Inch steel cable.
