' 6 STIR OVER BRYAN SALARY WASHINGTON IS ALL AGOG. Senator Hristow Calls on President Wilson to Name Sum to Keep Secretary at His Post. Washington. July 16.?Washington yesterday was interested ehiefy in developments following Secretary Bryan's statement that he had to spend his vacation on the lecture platform, because he could not live on me salary or *iz,uuu a year. The lobby investigation, the tariff and the Mexican situation were forgotten temporarily, at least, while everybody talked about the resolution by Senator Brlstow calling on the President to "advise the senate what would be a proper salary to enable the present secertary of state tc live with comfort and enable him tc give his time to the discharge of his public duties." When the Bristow resolution was read amid Republican laughter, democratic Leader Kern and other senators immediately objected to its consideration and after a few brief exchanges it went over. It was fully discussed, however, in the lobbies and cloak rooms at both ends of the Capitol. When Mr. Bryan's attention was called to some criticism, that had been published in regard to his lecturing he replied as follows: BRYAN'S STATEMENT. ?*T om clorl tn hnrn tho rrltlplsm brought to my attention. I believe In criticism of public officials. Criticism Is helpful. If a man makes a mistake, criticism enables him to correct It, If he Is unjustly criticised the criticism helps him. I have had my share of criticism since I have been In public life. Hut It has not prevented my doing what I thought proper to do. "In devoting a part of my vacation to lecturing I am doing what I believe to be proper and I have no fear whatever that any unbiased person will criticise mo when he knows the facts. "For 17 years the sources of my income have been writing and lecturing, but each year I have made more public speocl.es, without compensation and where I have paid my own traveling expenses, than I have where compensation was received. My earning capacity has been large and I have made not only an income sufficiently for my Immediate needs but have saved, on an average, something more than $10,000 a year. "In accepting the office which T now hold. I gave up the opportunity to add to my accumulations for I do not expect t'> Increase, during my term, the amount I have laid aside ?that is, I am willing to forego what advantage I might derive from the acquiring of $40,000 more for the rrivilege of serving the country in this office during the coming four years. I will do more if necessary, but I do not believe that fair-minded people will ask It of me. NO REASON TO CHANGE. "Therefore, until I see some reason for changing my purpose I ex? "ot to Ippturp enough to bring my ome up to mv expenses, these lucres to bp delivered during thp tinio 'bat other officials get to thpir vaca? ons. In addition to supplementing uy salary. I hopp that my lpoturps ''a good?ppople who attpnd thorn >uld not do so if thpv did not think (hoy rpcpivpd thpir monpy's worth, but I would bp glad to sppnd my ' cation rpsting instead of lecturing I could do so without pating up the amount I havp laid away as a ? -<>taction against old agp. Senator Rristow's resolution sot 0 't that from 17 89 to 1797 Thomas ' fferson and Edmund Randolph bold the otllrp of the sprrotary of 'ate at sa'aries of $3,500 a ypar: '-"in 1799 to 1819 John Marshall. J:imw Madison, James Monroe and John Quiney Adams served at $5.000; from 1819 to 1853 Henri- Clay, Martin VanRuren. Daniel Webster. John C. Calhoun and James Ruehanan served at $0,000; from 1853 to 1 oi 1 William H. Seward. James G. Rlaine, Thomas F. Bayard, Walter O. Gresham. Richard Olnev, John Sherman, John Hay and Elihu Root served for $8,000 and added: "During this long period of time no one of these efficient statesmen was compelled to neglect the duties of the office because of the meagerness of salary." $12,000 NOT ENOUGH. "Whereas. The great 'Commoner' now holding that office. Honorable William J. Bryan, has stated in the public press that the salar., of $1,000 a month is not sufficient to enable him to live with comfort, and that because of the meagerness of the salary of $12,000 per annum he is compelled to neglect the duties of his office and go upon the lecture platform in order to earn a living and that, whereas, there are now pending before the Department of State matters of the highest importance to the Nation affecting the relations of our country with Mexico, Japan, England and other foreign countries that demand the most earnest, careful and continuous attention of the Secretary of State, therefore, be it, "Resolved, That the President be requested, if not incompatible with the ptiblic interests, to advise thf Senate what should he a proper salaary to enable the present Secretary ol State to live with comfort and to enable him to give his time to the discharge of his public duties, for which he is now being paid the sum of $1,000 a month, and be it further "Itesolved, That the President bt respectfully asked to give this subject as prompt attention as his convenience will permit in order thai Congress may take immediate step! to relieve the country from the great loss which it suffers by being deprived of the services of the present Secretary of 8tate, though it is now paying for such services at the ratf of $1,000 a month." WANTS NO INCREASE. Senator Shafroth of Colorado de clared Secretary Bryan had assurec him he did not desire an increase o salary. Secretary Bryan's home in Wash ington is the old mansion ot Genera John A. Logan, for which he payi $4,000 a year. Former Secretary Knox, who rented a house in Diplo matic Row in fashionable K. street paid $7,000 a year, though durinj his term of office he received but j salary of $8,000, because the salar: of Secretary of State was increase< , while he was a senator and was de I barred from enjoying the tncreas< by a constitutional provision. The historians of Washingtoi point out that many of Mr. Bryan'i predecessors in comparatively recen years were wealthy. John Hay'i ' house on the Avenue of the Presi ' dents was one of the show places o ; Washington. Secretary Bryan hai ! the use of certain horses and equip ages which belong to the State De , part men t but he often prefers t< j drive his own automobile. Prosperity For One is Prosperity I For All. By Holland. If you are a farmer the value o your farm depends on the yalue o the adjoining farm, and the value oi both depends on the value of prop ertv in the nearest village or town Farms near prosperous iowhs m<- ?. {ways more valuable than those neai , dead or dying settlements. And this , is true without regard to the fertility I of the soil. I The farmer depends on the towr Jtist as the town depends for pros perlty on the farmer. Their desti jnies are interlinked; their interests are common. What hurts one hurts the other. Poor crops will affect thf city resident who does not even raisf radishes, and depressed business af fairs affect the farmer who depend* on soil, weather and muscle for hi' living. Money sent to mall order house* helps to turn thriving towns intc ! dead hamlets. It thereby depreciates the value of farm land. It decreases the population of the town* that most directly use the product* of the farm. It lowers the price foi butter and eggs, for chickens and foi fruits and vegetables. Mr Fnrmer If vou deal with a mail order house in n distant cit> you are taking a course that take? from the value of your farm, that renders It less desirable as a place ol residence and less productive ol profit. You can't follow a system that injure?: your neighbors without heinp compelled to shoulder some ol I the expense yourself. Take the safei course and spend your money where von make It. | Co-Operative Study of Forest Conditions in North Carolina. Washington, July 17.?The secretary of apriculture has just signed an agreement with the state ol North Carolina for a co-operative study of forest conditions in the eastern piedmont region. The work will he carried on by the forest service and by the state geological and economic survey with one-half of the cost paid by each. The study will determine the distribution and proportion of foresl lands, and the relative value ol lands for timber and for apriculture It will take into account the present status of lumbering, the causes and eneotP oi lorest nres. ana win recommend a system of fire protection and of forest planting. The ptudv just arranged supplementp two already completed In tlir more mountainoup regions of the ptate. The first, a study of forest conditions in the Appalachians, hat been published as a state report. A study of the forests of the western piedmont region was completed recently and the results are being prepared for publication. When the study of the eastern piedmont region is finished it is planned to proceed to a similar study of the coastal plain region, so that eventually the entire state will be covered by a forest sur vey. i In Deep Meditation.

Tierpont Morgan was always a silent man, and he would sometimes champion the silent with a story, says The Washington Star. "Old John Bates, an upholsterer." so the story began, "was renowned for his silence. People who had been t his customers for a generation had. ! many of them, never heard a word j i rum iiiiii raw|ii, v?uv;*i iiiuimurs. i Five dollars. Thank you. Good t day.' Old John, in fact, cultivated silence as a genius cultivates his * a rt. ' "A patron one day said to John: " 'What's the best kind of mattress?' " 'Hair,' was the reply. "The patron, some 20 years later, had occasion to buy another mat. tress and again be asked: | '* 'What's the best kind, John?' " 'Cotton.' " 'Cotton?' the patron cried. 'Why, . you told me 20 years ago that hair t was the best.' > "The old man gave a quaint sigh. 1 " 'Talking has always been my ruin.' he said." Is This Worth Thinking About? ' I 30,000,000,000 is a fair estimate I of the number of cigarettes consumed In the United States in 1912. I I Cigars and the pipe ylold more nicotine than the cigarette. But j nicotine is not the most dangerous element in cigarette smoke. Furfural, the principal "aldehvde" in ciearettes. Is said to be fifty > ! times as poisonous as ordinary alcohol. A single cigarette yields as much furfural as is present In a couple of i flute? ounces of whiskey. It is altogether absent from the smoke of a . cigar. ? Harrimon, the railroad king, once i said. "I would Just as soon think of I getting my employes out of the ini sane asylum as to employ cigarette users." Three-fourths of the hoys over eleven years of age, attending the public schools in one section of our I country, are addicted to the use of l cigarettes or tobacco in some form. Twelve years ago the use of cig arettes was about as prevalent in United States. An in 1900, Japan I United States. And in 1900, Japan ' by law prohibited the use of clpar! ettes by boys under 21 years. ^ "When a man tells you that his | word is as ,iood as his bond it doesn't ' necessarily imply that his bond Is any , pood. l i _______________ j i Rltter experiences are just underscored life sermons, delivered wlth.

"I'm short handed now, and I won't have any man killing on ' this here hooker. Batten down your feelin'8. you two fellers, till you get to r Rio Grande, and then you can chop each other into bits and devil take v what's left, but there's to bo no chop- ^ pin' on the Apollo." The two sailors released Bradd, who a recommenced the work he had stopped a to tight Nicola, and the Italian, find- , ing himself free from the mate's hold, ' walked dignifiedly forward and went below. The crisis had been passed, ? temporarily at least. What begun the feud between the * men no one knew. It existed when J i they shipped in New York and they had spat hate at each other during the voyage, but this was the first time J an actual collision had been threatened. > "It's only put off," remarked old ^ Ned. oracularly; "blood'll fly yet." There were several days of bright '! sunshine, calm sea and cloudless sky, and on one of these mornings tho " mate ordered Nicola to some duty on ^ the fore-topgallant yard. The Italian ; looped a line about his neck and grip- u ping a marline spike in his teeth climbed the weather rigging. Just as he swung himself over the top he lost his hold and fell like a plummet into the sea. "Man overboard," yelled O'Neill, K who was at the wheel, and ho flung a 11 life buoy over the rail. j l The skipper was on deck In ono Jump. 11 "Heave her to," ho shouted.

"No, there he is," said sharp-eyed O'Neill, pointing over the lee quar- j ter, and there, sure enough, was a black speck, the head of Nicola. Ho was swimming, bat slowly and l&borJp ously. Tbe brig had boon brought to and the boat ready, when a cry came from the poop. "Hi, hi! Shark, see him!" Abeam was the triangular fin of a shark cutting the water as It made a! straight course for Nicola. "It's all up," muttered the mate; "nothing can save him now." There waa a splash, and to our astonishment Bradd had leaped overboard and was swimming fiercely.
