BRYAN A PROVINCIAL.
In spill* of twenty years in the
forefront of public life Mr. Bry
an remains unconquerably pro
vincial. His point of view is still
essentially a local one. He
brought back with him from Eu
rope none of that ripe wisdom
which contact with acute and
able minds fosters in a growing
mind. To make a comparison
between him and Secretary Knox
or Secretary Hoot would be Loo
unkind. Both of these predeces
sors of the* present secretary of
state were men of the world,
well-poised, with that instinctive
'sense of the fitness of things
which come as a second nature
to well-trained minds long ac
customed to dealing with large
aH'airs. Mr. Bryan is still in
many ways only a boy. One can
not read his famous lecture
wHIiout being surprised at its
■sophomoric platitudes.
The same unripeness mani
fests itself in his actions as Hie
leading member of the cabinet.
The things he does are inapt.
Besides the diplomats opposed to
him he lacks finesse and expert
ises;,.
Take this matter of the salary
that goes with his job. It will
be recalled that Eliliu Hoot gave
up, without the least complaint,
a retaining fee of $100,000 to ac
cept the portfolio Mr. Bryan now
holds. Knox surrendered an an
nual income’ that ran into six
ligures. Hul.h ol' Ihese gentlemen
went into their own pockets to
pay their expenses while at
Washington in the cabinets of
Taft, anil Roosevelt. This was
part of the price they were Will-j
ing lo pay Ini’ Ihe priv ilege, of j
serving their country. But Mr. j
Bryan, known to be a very well- I
tn-<|n man, cannot lose sight of
the <'.haul ampin dollars he has
been in the habit of chasing. One
hand pursues them while Ihe
other signs papers of slate.
The Nebraskan justifies him
self on Ihe ground that he is
taking his vacation. Bui with so
many ipiestions of vital import
ance lo be settled, surely bis va
cation might have been postpon
ed. He says he needs the money,
that liis salary is not enough to
live upon. Well, Americans like
a man lo he thrifty, hut every
virtue ran In; overdone. They like
a good sportsman, too, one who
plays the game in a whole-heart
ed way. While Mr. Bryan is sec
retary of state it would he well
for him to forget the eosl.—Den
ver Republican.
APPLE TREES GROWING
IN TANANA VALLEY
Thai the apple raising business
may he one ol' the future indus
tries of the Tanana valley seems
very (probable .from the report
recently brought to town b.vJas.
Weiss, the rancher whose place
is seven miles from Fairbanks
on the Fhena slough. Mr. Weiss
slate’s that lie now has about
twentyi-live growing fruit trees
among which are four different
varieties.
The old' trties are now about
three years old and are doing
well as far as growing is con
cerned, they having done better,
this year than in the previous
years put together. The rabbits
and mice are enemies to the trees,
as they feed on the tender bark
whe/n the snow is on the ground
in winter. It is nearly impossible
to protect the young shoots, as
the animals either burrow under
the snow to got at the trees or
else eat the tops off.
The varieties of trees in the
little, orchard are one plum, one j
peach, one cherry, three crab ap
ples and nineteen apple trees.
The rancher also has a number
of outside berry plants of all
species. He obtained some of his
plants and trees from the govern
ment experimental station at Sit
ka.--Fairbanks News-Miner.
Fill POSITION FOR
Appointed United States Marshal
to the Chisana Diggings at
Salary of $208.33.
Marshal Brenneman today an
nounced the appointment of
Frank Hoffman as United Slates

pense and high cost of living in

ties of the office. He has had

cer and his appointment will
meet with satisfaction to the
people of the district, who have

people.
