MR. 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

Now Mexico, where Henry Trumbull,
his former classmate, resided. Ul
timately ho moved to Lincoln, Ne

Lincoln for three years, entered into

today, it is reasonable to say he ad

AM I INSURED?
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.
