BRYAN IN PEACE, IN WAR AND IN THE TEXAS SENATE William Jennings Bryan, as soon as a state of war was declared by the American congress, telegraphed his services as a private soldier, or in any other military capacity that President Wilson might designate. Although he had pleaded earnestly and eloquently ior the maintenance of peace, when hla- country had de cided, through .its constituted au thorities, to enter the lurid and tragic world conflict, he took the stand of a true patriot, with the De catur motto: "My Country, Right or Wrong!" for his own. This act of Col. Bryan's was in lucid harmony with his attitude in 1 8 d 8:" 'Opposing war till the last min ute, when the conflict with Spain came, he was among tho first to offer his services. He became a soldier and did his duty, according to the orders of his superior officers. Thirty days ago, Col. Bryan, then advocating, with all the brilliant force of his intellectual and mental endowments, for the preservation of peace, was invited by a majority or both houses to address a joint ses sion of the Texas legislature. A minority of the Texas senate de nounced, in most bitter terms, Mi. Bryan. He was characterized as a traitor and as being guilty of treason. I, standing in my place in the sen ate, protested against these bitter and unjust words. I called the at. tention of his traducers to Col. Bry an's course ' immediately Preceding nrwi during the war with Spain, and made this prediction: "Althougn Col Bryan is today the Apostle of Peace and is pleading that his coun try be spared from the horrors of war if war shall come and this ":" -iii art her sons to join the strife that is reddening the seas to ofliita services to his President n carry a musket or wield a sword confidence and respect 01 u true. w. . -- ---- d f aliy services to his country V ane "Justice" won for him tho second prize of fifty dollars.

Ul timately ho moved to Lincoln, Ne braska, and after practicing law in Lincoln for three years, entered into public life, and from that time until today, it is reasonable to say he ad dressed more people than any two men that ever lived and today It matters not where he speaks, stand ing room is always at a premium. "His speech at Baltimore five years ago was what made President Wil son the choice of tho democratic party. Forcible, persuasive reason ing power In following in the wake of Roosevelt; submitting all man ner of perplexing questions to his hearers, none of which Teddy had timo to answer, clinched the election of Wilson. "The editor of The Current when Bryan first appeared on the scene HATS OFF TO BRYAN, HAY WAR OFFICIALS A Washington dispatch says: "Wo take off our hats to Bryan," was tho attitude today of war department officials In reference to tho former secretary of state's action In offer ing his services as "a private In th ranks wherever needed." Then they went on to explain tho reason. "Bryan is the first prominent man who 'has wanted to bo a private, tney said. A man may bo eelr-posooflscd and still not have any taxes to pay.

When the whistle blows for a flro in a city, or the fire bell rings in the town, tho first thought which comes to one is, "That may bo my prop erty which is on fire." Tho anxiety Is not re lieved until he knows definitely that it is not his. And if it is his, he goes over rapidly In his mind tho amount of insurance ho has on this particular property. If perchance ho has no insurance, he laments tho poor business judgment he displayed when he turned a deaf ear to tho fire insurance agent. But a fire only causes a property loss to tho living man. While it may be a uevero one, he can accumulate again, even If tho property burned was wholly uninsured or only partly in sured. If there is need for tho breadwinner of the family to protect by fire insurance his property interest which can bo replaced, how much moro needful is It for him to protect by life Insurance the earning value of his own life, which can not be replaced.
