Mr. Bryan was accused Of being
"brutal' by at least one newspaper,
because in one Of his speeches he had
expressed the hope that Lady Smith
would not be relieved by the English.
Hasn't he the right Of being on the
BOer side in the fight? and if 50 is he
not justified in hoping the Beers may
win and the English lose all along the
battle front? War is brutal, but Mr..
Bryan no more so than any other man
who expresses sympathy with one of
the cOmbatants.
