BRYAN'S CONCEPTION OF PRESIDENCY
William J. 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

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."

every part of his body was quite raw.
We had to strap him down in bed, for

is quite beyond words. No one thought
we would rear him. The regimental

lived lone enough, outgrow- it to some

ENGLAND IS AXGRY.
Provoked Because Cohmlcs Will En

iy.
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."
It Can't Be Beat.

ence. C. M. Harden, of Silver City.
North Carolina, says: "I find Elec

ney troubles It can't be beat I have
