Let us remember that our inter.
est lies in concord, not conflict, and
that our real eminence rests in the
victories of peace, not those of war.
II has taken dreary while, but
the world is beginning to recognize
the rightful sovereignty of the Prince
of Peace. odern historians no longer
seek the life of a uation in its wars,
but in the development Of the com
mon people in the pursuits OF peace.
There is an inclination of the nations
to turn to arbitration for the settle
ment of their differences.
II is not a matter of small moment
that leading statesman, the chief ex-
ecutive OF one of the foremost pow
ers Of the earth. should, almost with
his dying utterance. remind his people
that their real eminence lies in the
victories of peace. The utterance is
the more signincant because II was
spoken to a nation still in the flusn
of sweeping victories, fresh from a
war in which 1t had proved to a start
led world its unsurpassed prowess on
land and sea, and, most significant
and hopeful of all. President McKin-
ley but expressed the sentiment of his
countrymen.
With our growing power, our diplo-
matte victories have increased in
number and in Importance, and they
have been steadily on the side of the
most advanced ideas of justice and
of human rights. In diplomacy, as
in war and in industrial development,
we are today the leading power OF
the world. Says recent writer,

The Indians took deliberate aim at the

smoke had cleared away and shelter
had been secured by the troops, Cap.
tain Hale, his lieutenant and seven
teen men were dead on the field. IL
was a costly charge. but the troops
secured a position as strong as that
occupied by the Indians and held IL
until relnforcements arrived. During
the three days fighting that followed
there were no 'ltalities among the
soldiers. Chic Joseph surrendered.
He cherished an old-time grudge
against General Howard and refused
to surrendc~ to him. He admired
Miles, however. and surrendered TO
him, although General Howard was
Colonel Miles ranking officer After
the battle the bodies of the two Off.

their last resting place.

Washington has become the diplo.
matte center OF the world"
Yet our greatest victories. those
without which no others could have
been won. are the victories over our.
selves. "He that hath no rule over
his own spirit is like a city that is
broken down and without walls" Is
regarded almost as an axiom so far
as the individual is concerned. so
conclusively has its truth been prov
ed, and this is no less true of ma.
tions.
Our free institutions are both the
result and the evidence of the self.
control which the Anglo-Saxon race
has attained. Its position as the
dominant race of the world has been
gained by its mastery of self. and 4
can be retained in no other way. Our
nation has nothing to fear from out.
side enemies, for II can be conquered
by nothing but its own vices.
Our real eminence lies, indeed. in
the victories of peace. pre-eminently
in the victories won Over our national
sins. The work of the Christian
teacher. of those who in the face OF
opposition, ridiculs and hatred seek
to stem the current of evil, therefore
takes rank along with that of the
greatest warrior and statesman. The
white ribbon army has no arches erect
ed in honor of its exploits. Its lead
ers are welcomed home with no par.
AIDES and hurrahing crowds, yet who
shall say which army has best served
the nation, which leader is worthiest
of honor?
