rtn Jo nf nrpsont president of tho
greatest country and tho greatest
people on earth, and is being urged
for another term, he Is not available,
and would not, and should not accept
it though tendered him. Then, with
Mr. Wilson out of the way, - many
eyes might turn to former President
Taft, but he is also candidate for
president, if not avowed a candidate,
in an acceptable mood, and the same
objection can bo made to him as to
Mr. wnson.
Then In looking around for a man
who would reflect credit upon "this
country and make or the league of
nations one of power and practically.
sure of accomplishing the purposes
for which it is formed, the eyes of
the country naturally turn to Mr.
Bryan.
Ho has been honored as no other
American, given three nominations
by his party for the presidency, the
highest office within the gift of the
people, and, although he has been
defeated on each occasion, he has
been greater In defeat -than In
victory.
In his first campaign he received
more votes than any candidate of
either party in previous elections
even more than Cleveland in either
of his campaigns, when he. was
elected, and more than Mr, Wilson
in his first campaign.
The Journal believes Mr. Bryan is
we man or tne hour. The man 'best
qualified for tho head of the league
by virtue of his long and consistent
attitude on thei peace of the world;
and his many other qualifications,
not the least of Which is his anility
to control men in a crisis, notably at
Baltimore, when Mr. "Wilson was
nominated, and nations are but a
collection of individuals.
But Mr. Bryan has best described
the man who should have this honor,
though it was written before a

world, and ho is universally popular.
His popularity is not conunw w lo
ttos, as was shown by the demonstra
tion In hie behalf in the republican
convention at Chicago that nom
inated Taft, and as is shown him in
every town and hamlet or wherever
he goes. .. .
But it should be said in behalf of
Mr. Bryan that he knows nothing
about this suggestion, and it ijay not
meet his approval; but The Journal
knows his position on questions of
this character,- that while he is more
concerned About the adoption l of Ws
ideals of government and for tne
betterment of mankind than in
official honors ho would accept the
honor as tho head of the league if
ho could strengthen Its power for the
good of mankind and tho achieve
ment of Its great purpose. Ho made
clear his attitude many years ago
toward public office. When .asked if
he would accept a third nomination,
he said that the party owed him
nothing, that he "has been amply
recompensed for what he had done
otwI what he has endeavored to do.
and that ho cannot claim a nomina
tion as a reward." The question, no
argued, was one of availability, and
"tho question that ought to weigh
with tho party Is, whether tho party
can be strengthened and aided by his
nomination more than any one else."
Tho conclusion to be drawn i
clear that if he can strengthen and
aid the leaguo in the accomplishment
of tho grave and vital work for
which it waa created, "more than
any one else." he would accent tho
position if tendered him.
what other distinguished Amer
ican so well deserves tho honor and
should other than an American bo
placed at the head of the league? .
