Y'fSFTJKh N 9' The Commoner 14 VOLUME 0, NUMBER '&twr " "And There Shall Be No More War" 3 ThG following finnfinrnd In the South African Spectator, published at Cape Town, South Africa: In his great speech before the Inter parliamentary Union, at London, in July last, that silver-tongued and World-renowned orator, William Jen nings Bryan, observed in one of his and periods: "I will not disguise the fact that I consider this resolution a long step in the direction of peace, nor will I disguise the fact that I am here be cause I want this Inter-parliamentary tary Union will be to emphasize the doctrine that a life devoted to the public, and over flowing, like a spring, with good, exerts an influence upon the human race and upon the destiny of the world as great as any death in war. And if you will permit me to mention one whose career"! watched with interest and whose name I .re vere, I will say that, in my humble judgment, the sixty-four years of spot less public service of William Ewart Gladstone will, in years to .come, be regarded as rich an ornament to the Union to take just as long a step as history of this nation as the life of M any man who poured out his blood upon a battlefield." Some one has said that, "Were sub jects wise, war is a game at which kings- and queens would not play," and it may be added, were the school master more "in evidence" who would endeavor to instill healthier notions into youthful, minds, the long-hoped-for millenium, "that cpnsummation most devoutly to be hoped for," the period when "swords will be beaten into ploughshares," would cease to be regarded as being amongst the dreams of the idealists, and would be within the range of accomplished facts. ,But when the youth of civilized lands have held before them, as being the most worthy example for their' emu lation, the man who readily and reck: lessly bares his breast for the bullet of the legalized murderer, and pre sents his body for the weapon of. the fellow who prefers the career' of Hhq, hired '.assassin 'to that of " the more honest, if a somewhat more' prosaic one of peaceful and useful pur.suit, I say so long as the schoolmaster, aye! nnrl Vio nroonlioi' frr InaHII fhaan Tin.

We meet in a famous hall, and looking down upon us from thesa walls are pictures that illustrate not only the glory that-is to be won in w.ar, but the horrors that follow war. There is a picture of one of the great figures in English history (pointing to the freacoe by Maclise of the death of Nelson). Lord Nelson is represent-J ed-as dying, and around him are the mangled forms of others. I under stand that war brings out certain vir tues. I am aware that it gives op portunity for the display of great pati;i6tism; I am aware that the ex ample of men who give their lives for- their country is inspiring; but I venture to say there is as much in spiration in a noble life as there is inheroic death, and I trust that one of the results of this Inter-parliamen- -"First Aid" to the. M Bowels occasionally rob a fish hawk of its quarry, and thus perhaps the bird for the moment, becomes thief and op pressor in one, but the eagle does more good in a day than the fish hawk does in a life time, and yet the free born American citizen pro tects the fish hawk and shoots the eagle. Every once in a while the papers have an account of how some bold countryside gunner has slain an eagle "which measured seven feet from tip to tip." The gunner is the fools' hero for a day, and another eagle, worth his slayer's weight in gold, is lost to the sky line. The eagles once gon'e are forever gone. The birds refuse to reproduce their kind in captivity. There is to be no heritage of slavery for their offspring. Isn't there something in this that makes the bird fit to stand as an emblem for the American? The Hon accepts the prison for itself and its whelps " with no growl save for one of joy over getting its meals without the' necessity of going hunting. The eagle accepts imprisonment with fierce protest, and refuses to make it the lot of eagle posterity. The man who has seen an eagle soaring or clasping "the crags with hooked hands," and who can not find in the bird something which makes it worthy of a place on a free people's shield, is a man who hasn't soul enough. to make him deserving of' the shield's protection.

He was ignored as only a born-and bred Bostonlan can ignore a man. The lady took another step toward the gate. "You must get off on this side," said the conductor. "I wish to get off on this side," came the answer in tones that con gealed that official into momentary silence. Before he could explain or expostulate, Mr. 4Moody came to his assistance.
