MATTER OF MONEY
PURELY PERSONAL
Secretary of State Bryan Tells
Why He Can't Live on
' $12,000 a Year.
OBLIGATIONS TO BE MET
These Will Absorb More Than
Half His Salary as Cabi
net Officer.
Lincoln. Neb., August 17.?William J.
Bi-yan, in a signed statement, inado
public through Tho Monthly Commoner
yesterday, says it is not a question of
'whether a Cabinet officer can 11 v?; on
SI 2,000 a year, but rather one of wheth
er lie can subsist on that sum?a mat
te: purely personal. In part, his state
ment follows:
"When I announced that I found it
necessary to supplement my ofl\cial in
come. and that I would turn to the lec
ture platform us the most natural, as
well as an entirely legitimate. means
of earning what additional income 1
needed, the question was at once asked.
?\Vh> is Mr. Bryan unable to live upon
a salary of 512.000 u year'."
"It ought to have occurred to any one
who was tempted to ask the question
that the question is not whether a Cab
inet t.fficer could live on $12,000 a year
if h> had nothing to consider except
the expenses attendant upon living in
Washington, but whether he could add
the expense of official life to his other
expenses and meet them all out of his
salary.
"Kvery man who has reached a post
where he is likely to be appointed to a
high office has assumed obligations
which cannot be suspended when he
enters office. My obligations to church,
charity, education and for my insur
ance cannot be discontinued. They
amount to more than SG.S00 per year,
and those, Ujough tho largest, are by
no means all. and will absorb more
than half the salary which 1 receive.
,\o Complain* of Salaries.
? j have not complained of the sal
aries of cabinet officers; neither would
j advocate an increase, although the
position of Secretary of State carries
with it more entertainment than any
other position in the Cabinet because
of its relation to the outside world,
and my acceptance of hospitality
throughout tho country and through-|
out the world has Increased the amount j
of entertaining expected of me. But |
there is no rule requiring a Cabinet |
offieer to compress Ills expenditures
within ths salary limit, and no crlti- |
dsm has been offered heretofore when
Cabinet officers have drawn upon their
private incomes to meet their expenses
when those expenses have exceeded the
r mount drawn from the government.
"I have as much reason not to neg
lect public duty as one can have, and
those who are fair minded ought to
assume, until they have evidence to
the contrary, that my vacation period
will be so chosen as not to sacrifice
official duty. All officials are given
vacations, and where several are as
sociated together in an office the vaca
tions are so arranged that work is ex
changed and the business of the dc- j
partment coes on. ,
"A man's expenditures grow with
hi* income. My income, due largely to
the fact of my political prominence,
have grown. Hut 1 have been able to
meet them and to lay aside some money
fach vear for the last seventeen years.
1 have planned to forego for the next
four years any additions to my ac
cumulations. r?<l 1 do not repaid t a*
a sacrifice to do so. 1 so much ap
preciate the opportunity that the
President has given me to Join him in
the service th?.t he is rendering to
the countrv that I would gladVy hold
tiie p< eltion which 1 now occupy even
if to do so it were necessary to use a
pari of the money laid aside as a pro
tection against old nu? ?
Work of Cabinet.
Mr Bryan devotes nearly three pages
of' the Commoner t.? a resume f>>f tho
?work of President Wilsons Cabinet,
reserving the last mention for the De
partment of State.
?As an incident to the Democratic
vlctorv." Mr. Bryan says. "1 have been

I ?<njoy the opportr.nity of participating
in the discussion of such problems as
the President sees lit to bring bcfoio

"If ] were compelled to choose be
tween the service that 1 could render
as a Journalist and the service which
1 can render as one of the President s
advisers, I wo Id feel justified in pre
ferring the latter to the former, but as
there is no necessary conflict between

The trouble was due to the conduit
collapsing a distance of thirty feet
when tho water was drawn oh' Friday

In a statement issued hero to-day tho

j Wilson and his administration are cold
towards tho votes for women question.
It says:
"The refusal of tho President of tho
United States only a few davs ago to
deliver an address to tho mooting of
suffragists here may bo taken as sufll
cient indication of tho coldness of tho
administration toward votes for women.
"The most determined attacks of the
sufTragists, their most speotacular pa
geants, their greatest political activity
and thoir most Incessant work have all
been directed toward Influencing the
national legislators in Washington.
I hat they have failed to produce any
tangiblo results so far, it Is emphatic
proof that Congress, representing all
tho States of tho Union, refuses to fly
in tho faco of the wishes of that vast
majority of States which have refused
to grant women the equal franchise."

Itriil Currency Unfile.
Tho real battle over the make-up of
the currency bill will begin this week
with tlx- consideration of the measure
in the House Democratic caucus, under
what is known as the five-minute rule
for amendments.
The principal amendments relate to
the rcdlscounting of paper based on
farmer's products. Democratic Leader
Underwood and Chairman Glass, of the
Banking and Currency Committee, are
agreed upon the elimination of the ,
words "nnd other securities" from the :
list of paper whose eligibility to rlis- j
count the Federal reserve board bhall
have tho right to pass upon. They be- j
lieve that this so-called "Glass-Under- ,
wood amendment" would sufficiently j
preserve the credit of paper based upon j
warehouse receipted. ?r otherwise se- !
cured agricultural products. Mr. tin- j
derwood Is disposed, however, to ao
cede to amendments that would make I
tills point mori) clear, if It develops i
they arc necessary.
Tho administration leaders are con- j
fident the bill will go throughout
fundamental changes, while those
pressing for amendments to-night ex
pressed equal confidence that the ?
caucus would finally agree to the sub- j
stance of their proposition for p'..?
tection of agricultural paper. Most of I

"The House That Made Richmond
Musical"
the Representatives who have been
i away for weeks have now returned and
! are ready to take up the currency leg
islation whenever the caucus finishes
with the bill. Meanwhile, the House
has adjourned until Tuesday, when the
! caucus-approved bill to provide author
ity for granting right of way for tho
576,000,000 Iietch Hetchy wator supply
project for San Francisco will be the
j pending business.
Tariff consideration will be enlivened
! this week by discussion of the sugar
schedule, the chief bono of contention
j In tho tsrlff bill.
Innlat It Will Carry,
i Democratic leaders Insist that the
free sugar proposal will carry, despite
1 rumors of possible defections from tho
party standard. Senators Ransdell and
; Thornton, of Louisiana, will vote
i against tho administration schedule
1 but tho leaders do not fear that any
Western Senators upon whom minority
! leaders cast longing eyes will support
| any proposed amendment. Senator
j Simmons, chairman of the Finance
j Committee, believes that the fight on
! sugar should take not more than two
| or three days; and that free wool
should be disposed of In as short a
? time, after which rapid progress
through the remaining schedules should
S he made. Debate is certain to be pro
i longed, however, on the cotton
! schedule, after which the Income tax
? and administrative section and the cot
ton future tax amendment will pre
sent problems for much debate. It will
| be well Into September, if not later.
