"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!

Stomach, Headache, Bad legalized murderer, be accepted as be-
possible in the direction of universal
peace. 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. Chicago Evening

He was ignored as only a born-and

The lady took another step toward
