centuries ago bravo but helpless men
and women were led forth to die at
the onslaught of wild beasts. They
were the early Christian martyrs.
They knelt and invoked a power, that
while it was not sufficient to save
them from annihilation, was stronger
than the' legions of Rome. It was the
power of love. I found in Russia an
apostle of peace. In Russia where
there are at the command of the czar
1,000,000 armed soldiers; tho govern
ment of Russia will not allow the cir
culation of the writings of this man
of peace.
"Aye, the government will imprison
any one found circulating his writ
ings, and yet the government is not
able to stop the spread of tho doctrine
of peace, and this apostle of love is so
strong that, wnilo they punish those
who circulato his writings, they do
not dare to lay their hands on the
man himself.
"We cannot bring peace by attack
ing labor organizations. Give labor
organizations credit for what they
have done for America and American
citizenship. They have elevated that
citizenship. They have rendered the
ballot more sacred by bringing to this
country tho Australian ballot. Is it
degrading for labor to ask for a re
duction in the hours of labor? We
love our children and do all we can
to elevate them. If we drive the la
borer from the bench to the bed
what chance is there for him to assist
in the spiritual and moral elevation of
Ui3 children?" (Applause.)
Raising his voice to its maximum
of vibrancy, the speaker turned to
tne specially invited guests and said:
"A man who is fit to die for his
country ought to be permitted to live
for it."
Instantly -there was a thunder of
applause hymen whovsprang to their
feet and cheered and waved handker
chiefs. Not every one got up. There
were many who sat with closely shut
jaws and red faces, and who looked
defiance at the speaker, just as if they
would like to have a chance to say
something themselves,
"Why not give these men the pro
tection that justice demands?" con
tinued Mr. Biyan. "Why not deal
with them as brethren? Go and see
their children in the factories. Chil
dren, dwarfed in mind and soul. And
yet these children are made in the
image of God, just as yj ur children
are,, and. they must love them, "Just
as you love your own children."
(Great applause and cries of "That's
right")
Here Mr. Bryan paused and made
as if about to stop speaking. Imme
diately there were cries for him to go
on.
"I didn't have much chance to see
you in the last campaign," said he.
"You thought we were radical. We
were not. We simply asked for that
which wo thought to be right. Be
ware the radicals who come after us
the men who will not be content to
stop the wrong, but who will demand
rat you go back and restore the
wrong."
This ended Mr. Bryan's apparently
unpremeditated outburst an outburst
doubtless prompted by Mr. Beck's
brilliant arraignment of what he
deemed to bo an overreaching and
wicked spirit of organized labor.
