BRYAN SAYS WE MUSf LEAD Advises (he I'nlted States to Walt for o atlin, bal to Take the Lead for World Peace. Over 4.000 boys and girls from the public schools of Omaha sent enthusiastic thrills through probably 2.000 omcr auditors at the peace meeting held In Auditorium Tuesday morning. With waving flags Innumerable, of all the colors of the opictrum, they kept the air klrllng, and with voices ot keen carrying power they made older ears ling as they seldom do. School cries, clans yells and many an Inspired cry of the moment wnt resound ing across and up und down the big hall, and was re-echoed from the vaulted roof. The youngsters were Irrepressible ,and they enthUKfd over the band, the glee club, the chorus singers, the orators and everything where they got half a chunee. It was an Inspiring sight they furnished, maBscd and banked row after row and tier on tier nnd every last unit full to bursting for peace and quiotude some time, somewhere. Aside from the thrlilg put Into the meet ing by tho glorlMcd cn .drcn, John Lee Webster shot In a few ilong the line that shivers the air "when the warships clear for action and the blue battalions wheel." And William .1. Bryan electrified his hear ers with some more whirls of feeling based on Biblical thunders for the righteousness that exulteth a nation and the smooth Christian spirit that should move the other cheek Into tho firing Hue when one has been smote. M peaks of Sunshine. Dr. W. M. Davidson nlrnself loosed many a shaking heart throb and many a loud hand clap by his recitation picturing'- the home-coming ot a wanderer from abroad to the land "where tho air Is full ot sun shine and th flag is full of stars." So altogether it was a great meeting, with International peace for a base and anything but a peaceful setting fur a cupola. Everybody was satisfied and a happy multitude scattered from the many do3M Just in time to find the dinner tables laughing with the fragrant loads. Mr. Webster, who made tho first address, spoke subtantlally as follows: "The parliament of n.an, the federation of the world, has been the hope of many as the security for unlveresal peace. It has been called a 'Utopian dream, a mis print on the page ot history,' but the movement keep on as calmly, but as re sistless, as the aurrent of the oceans, and by Us Influence warming a sympathetic and Intellectual sentiment In Its favor among the people in all the nations. "A time will come when International questions will be settled by the arbitration of a great soveredgn senate, which will be to Europe what the Parliament is to England, what the Diet' Is to Germany, what the Legislature Assembly Is to France. A day will come when these twq Immense groups, the United States ot America and the United States of Europe, shall be placed In tbe presence ot each other, extending the hand of fellowship across the ocean. Universal Government. "If universal peace la to coma, It can only be by the establishment of a uni versal government, which shall have con trol over tbe destines ot tha sovereign na tions1 and clothed with the powef 'to efl-' force Its decrees. "Is tho age of peace to be inaugurated by the union of all tho people of the earth Into a universal brotherhood, based on the fundamental principles of the constitution of the UnlUd States? The query Is sug gested by the published outline ot such a constitution, drafted by William Osborne McDowell ot New York. Its Introduction Is In language Imposing, grand In concep tion and noble In sentiment. It reads: 'We, the people of this earth, in order to avail ourselves of all experience and to ap propriate its best results for the good of the world, to substitute Justice for force, right for might in all human relationships and to secure for all mankind, .now and forevermore, all the blessings of liberty, peace, Justice and good will, do hereby formulate and agree upon thla constitution.' Such a constitution would require the con sent for Its adoption, and to be included within Its Jurisdiction a world citizenship, made of Americans and Europeans, China men and Japanese, whits men and black men, Turks and Egyptians, Christians and Mohammedans, Buddhist) and pagan J, k ns doms and empirts and republics. "A writer in speaking ot such a proposed constitution said It should embody all tlu; loftiest concepth na and aspirations of every race for tne uplift - ot the human family, from Moses nnd David, Solomon and the Hebrew prophets, from Buddha, Mohammet, Plato and Socrates, to Wash ington, Jefferson and Lincoln.- It should epitomise In Its spirit all the immortal doc uments of llbertv and peace, the Swiss Compact. Magna Charta, the English BUI of'Kights, the Dirlaratlon of Independ ence Lincoln's Gettysburg speech and tho constitutions of every liberty-loving nation ot tho earth. ' V ulteU States should Lead. "Should the United States be the initia tive In bringing universal peace and union to all the nations ot the earth under u constitution co grant In thought und pur pose. It would bo a glory to our country surpassing all other of Its great achieve ments In behalf of freedom In government and tho advance ment of the general good ot munklnd. Many things have been prophesied of the ultimate destiny of the I'nlted States, but this Is one greater than them all. So vast la Its dream-like con ception that, while It appeals to the hu manitarian, It dailies and bewilders the thinker und statesman. It Involves a trans formation in human affairs, In Individual and national Interests, and In race In stincts that passes human wisdom. It In volves the working out of an economical problem among sovereign stales, the like of which. In magnitude and Importance for the welfare ot mankind, has never beeu undertaken. It Involves an Ideullsm which never before, has assumed a tangible shape." Mr. Webster referred to what he con ceives to the danger to tiie peace of the e elves to be the danger to the pece of the Asiatic nation, particularly Uie amhltl eus Japanese and the slowly awakening Chinese. In throe he sees a possible men ace, and be urges tho Pacific states to be careful to avoid stirring up the opposi tion of the Asiatics through the means of discriminatory legislation, ' such as ex clusion laws arjd the like. Japan and China arc far more in danger ot being overrun by Americans than Is America In danger of an industrial Invasion from Asia. In eastern Asia he sees the only real menace to world's peace, and concludes: Treat with Thl.a. that Are. "We must deal with thev w orld as It Is. The, time haa noisome when, Europe and Amarlca can disarm. International law recognises war a the Irgltlmate exercls of force by a nation to protect lis rigtiu or honor. Ni self-respecting nation will surrender this essential privilege of sov ertignity uuiil all oter nations have ad v a need to that high standard when all regardless of rare, or color, or language, or religion shall stand on an admitted equality under the constitution that shall govern all the earth. "Until that pirlod arrives the United States should have the cordial and gen erous support ot lovers and advocates of peace, in building and maintaining a navy that will give her the power to enforce her demands and make her requests re spected everywhere. It can command and maintain peace In Asia If It be strong enough in Its war machinery, but It It becomes weak, tho evolution that la going on across the Pacific will surely and un expectedly again make the sky lurid with the flames of war, and the United States cannot then avoid It If It would. And should It come, it will be the greatest and bloodiest war ot all history. I am not an alarmist. I am appealing to peacemakers to accept and adopt the surest method to secure peace. Establish peace in Asia and the time will be near when the peace gov ernment of the United Slates of the world may be Inaugurated." Walt for 'o Matlou. Mr. Bryan, In the field ot peace as in the field of politics, would not wait for the ad vice, consent or action ot any other nation. He said: "I would prefer that this nation shall set an example for peace, and not wait until other nations are ready tj come In and Join with us." The lecturer, whose big set piece is enti tled "The Prince ot Peace," set out In his powerful manner the thought that Intellec tual, political and moral progress are all making for and stand buck ot the world wide peace movement; and these three fac tors find their very strongest development In tha United Mates. "But back of these there Is a more fundamental reason," he said. "It is the great spirit of brotherhood manifesting Itself in tho tnoral regeneration of the world. On this ground we are ahead of all the nations of the eurth, and in no other nation have they learned so well the costly tolly of war." In his opening Mr. Bryan said that the American traveler In foreign lands learns ut least to appreciate all the more the blessings he has at home. "The greatest enjoyment Is in getting back home, and being here 1 havo a greater pride thnn ever In my nation's primacy among the nations of the earth, In almost every line of advancement." Pupils Sing; for Bryan, He told of an impressive Incident In a normal school at San Paulo, in Braiil. where the pupils recited for him In Ene llsli, and for a climax sang "My Country, "'tis of Thee" In English. "There was no experience abroad that touched more deeply than that. They love uh, not for our warships or the threat of our flag, but because of what we have done and are doing for them. I believe, then, the highest Ideal Is to conquer the world with Ideas; that it is better to persuade than to coerce." Ha pictured as the three strong influ ences back of the peace movement the world's greater Intellectual growth, in China, Japan, India and South America, as well as in 'Europe and the United Statea. "They have more teachers, more pupils and better teaching than ever before in the history of the world, and they have these In every laud. Then we have the growth of popular government Armies and peoples are no longer the property of kings, and as popular government grows the people recognise the need 1 for peace. Moral progress Is Marvelous and Is ex tending widely, especially In the United States. Here we have more altruism than In any country in the world. Here we are sending more money to other countries, from unselfish motives, than some ot those countries are -spending themselves for al truistic purposes, and as a result the ideals ot publlo and domestio life- are growing Bteadily to a higher plane. Every force In society is making toward peace, steadily and with most encouraging success. "The doctrine of the Prince of Peace Is the motive power behind all this, and eventually we may hope to see the rule established that, before any declaration of war or opening of hostilities, the differ ences ot nations will be submitted, to a court of arbitration that will separate ques tions of fact from queetlons of honor or finance." Mr. Bryan was escorted to the platform by Dr. Davidson, D. C. Patterson and Labor Commissioner Maupln. On the plat form with the speakers were Mayor Dahl n.an, members of the echool board and school officers. The High School band Indulged in a number of short, stirring pieces and the High School Qloe club sang several songs and had to respond to two encores. The Wagner chorus sang a classical selection and a quartet from the same organisation also rendered an appropriate song. llov. T. H. McConnell, pastor ot West minster Presbyterian church, made the opening invocation, and Rabbi Colin of Tcmplo Israel mado .the closing prayer. When thla was finished the Wagner chorus led tho audlenoe In sinning "Amer ica," and was ably helped by the High School Oloe club and band. M'GOVERN LOOKING UP RED LANTERN ORDINANCE Trios to Find Why Street Railway Company Does Mot Comply with Law. Councilman McQovcrn Is bestirring him self to find out why the street car company Is not complying with the ordinance Intro duced by him nnd passed by tho council several months ago, designed to prevent accidents at railroad crossings. "That ordinance provides that street car conductors must be provided with lunterns with red lights," said the Ninth ward coun cilman, "which they shall take with them when they alight to signal the motormen at dangerous crossings. So far as I have been able to learn tha provisions of the ordinance have not been compiled with, and we should know why. . "The company was furnished with a copy of the ordinance. In the regular way, and unless there Is some good reason why the ordinance Is being Ignored tho city will proceed to have It enforced."
