Bryan haa written an article entitled "My Conception! of the Presidency" for the July 18 issue of Collier's Weekly He says: "The president's power for good or for harm Is over-estimated. This government is a government of checks and ballances; power Is distributed among different departments and each of them works In cooperation with others In the making of laws, for Instance, the president Joins with the senate and house; may recommend, but he Is powerless to legislate, ex cept as a majority of the senate and the house concur with him. The sen ate 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 sen ate and house can by a two-thirds ote override the president's veto. The influence of the president Over legis lation Is therefore limited. He shares the responsibility with a large num ber of people's representatives. "Even In the enforcement of law he Is hedged about by restrictions. He acts through an attorney general (wb(n appointment must be approv ed 'by the senate) and offenders agalnt the law must be prosecuted In the courts, to that here again the TtporW-l'7 Is divided. In the malting of Important appointments too he must consult the senate and is of necessity, compelled to exercise are and discretion. "The most important requisite In a prextdent, as In other officials, Is that sympathy shall be with the whole people rather than with any fraction of the population. He la Success in Life depends on character, capacity, concentration , and health. De velop the first three by all means 'maintain the last by the one best means BEECHiir.l'S 15!f.I. tM grrwhr. I fees !. 4 ife. constantly called upon to act In the capacity of a Judge deciding be tween the impertunltles of those who seek favors and the rights and Inter ests of the public. Unless his sym pathies are right, the few are sure to have an advantage over the many, for the masses have no one to present their claims. They act only at elec tions and must trust to their represen tatlves to protect them from all their foes. "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 de tect the sophistries that are always employed by those who seek unfair advantages. "He must possess the moral cour age to stand against the Influences that are brought to bear In favor of special Interests. In fact the qual lty of moral courage is essential In a public official as either right sympa thies or a trained mind. "The president must have counsel lors, he must be open to conviction. The president Is - committed by his platform to certain policies, and the platform Is binding. He is also com mitted to certain principles of govern ment and these he Is In duty bound to apply In all matters that come before him. "But there Is a wide zone In which he must act upon hla own Judgment and here he ought to have the aid of Intelligent, conscientious and faithful advisors. The law provides these to a certain extent In giving him a cabi net, and the vice president ought to be made a member of the cabinet ex officio, in order first that the presi dent may have the benefit of hla wis dom 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 otight to be cordial relatione also be tween the president and those who oc cupy positions of trust In the co-ordinate branches of the jgovernment, for our government Is not a oneman government, but a government In which the chosen ' representatives of the people labor together td give ex pression to the will of the voters. "But the presidency Is the highest position in the world and its occu pancy is an important factor In all national matters. If he Is a devour believer In our theory of government, recognises the constitutional distri bution of powers, trusts thoroughly in the people and fully sympathizes with them In their aspirations and hopes', he has an opportunity to do a splendid work. He occupies a van tage ground from whloU he can exert a wholesome 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 am bition, save the ambition to prove worthy of the confidence of his coun trymen: for this reason he ought to enter the position without thought or project of a secopd term. "While the burdens of such an of fice are heavy and while the labors of the office are exacting and exhaus ting, the field of service Is large and, ma.urlns Its greatness by service, a president, by consecrating himself to the public weal, can make himself se. cure in the affections of his fellow- citizens wTiile he lives and creates for hlmnelf a permanent place in the na tion's history."

SUFFERED 14YEARS CURED BY CUTICURA IK Ifteen years old, my son Owen's life was made intoler able by eozema In its worst form. lie was all right until a red raan broke out on his fore head, but we were not alarmed at first. Very soon, however, the rash began to t r i i spread over nis nesa and shoulders, and , it caused him great ' I ' . T . l aiscorniuri. I uwi him to a doctor and tried half a dozen other treatments, all with the same result: no improvement at all. The disease gradually spread until nearly every part of his body was quite raw. We had to strap him down in bed, for he used to teat himself dreadfully in' ' his sleep. The agony he went through is quite beyond words. No one thought we would rear him. The regimental doctor, a very clever man, pronounced ' toe caxe hopeless; at least, ne saia ttie only hope was that he might, if he lived lone enough, outgrow- it to some extent. We had him in hospitals four times and he was pronounced one of the worst cases, if not the worst, ever admitted. From each he was dis charged as incurable; in fact he got worse under the successive- treatment. At one hospital they Incased him. in plaster, and this seemed to aggravate) the soilness terribly.. He looked so badly that no-one liked to go near him and his life was a burden to him. We kept trying remedy aftor remedy, but we bad got almost past hoping for a cure. Six months- ago we purchased a set of Cuticura Soap,. Ointment, and' Resolvont Pills and perwvered with tbem.

London, July 17. Report received here regarding the magnificent prep arations that are being made In Aus tralian and New Zealand ports for the entertainment of the American fleet are provoking a great deal or com ment The expenditure of such, vast sums by the colonial cities In enter taining the fleet of a foreign power is condemned by the London papers. An undercurrent of Jealousy of the United States runs- through many of these editorial articles, and the cruise of the Yankee vessels Is severely criticised by some naval authorities. On the, continent, however, and es pecially in Germany, the political as pects of the cruise are considered In a more favorable Light The Marine Rundschau, which Is the subsidized organ of the German Imperial marine department, consid ers that the, "concentration of the American fleet in the Pacific" marks the beginning of the new epoch in the world's history which was fore shadowed by Count Torek von Wor tenburg, Count Waldersee's chief of stuff In China in 1900, when he ex pressed the opinion that the trend ot events lay In the direction of a union on the part of the continental nd At lantic powers against, the "Pacific hemisphere." It Is added that "Am erica's political wishes will only be recognized if they are backed by the guns of her fleet, but the scope of her desires will be bounded by the navy's radius of action." The Conservative Kreub Zeltung In dorses these observations with the re mark that the American navy must not only be ready to strike, but "ready to strike where strategy de mands." General von Zepelln then proceeds to consider the lines of com munication and the harbor accommo dation on the west coast of America and in the Pacific, which he pro nounces to be inadequate and Insecure for a fleet "designed for offensive purposes."
