PATRIOT IN PEACE.
Mr. Bryans subject was The Patriot
in Peace and when he was introduced
every one arose and cheered. He said:
II have confidence that in our political
battles we shall fight them on higher
plane than in the past. The Spanish war
taught us the lesson that there. IS pa
triotisn In the nation sufficient eftauF
time of need, and that there is no portion
| of a. political party that does notihaee MT
! heart the uaticrfs welfare There is but
| one basis upon which peace can be buiit,
! and that is Justice [ have not been able
to find a definition OF patriotism that
satisfies me- To me it is that love OF
country which leads a. man 70 give his
| country that which his country needs At
the time it needs it. 1 regard the duties
of peace as imperative as the duties Of
| war
TT is an enlightened selfshness which
| leads a man to do for his country that
| which he feels is to do himself good III
| the end. aag.fs
| What the american people .seed to-
| day is that form OF patriotism. that will
| lead them to study and understand the
| problems of government and will, give
| them the moral courage to do what they
| believe to be right, no matter what the
| consequences may be-
| NEED MORAL COURAGE.
Moral courage is rarer than physical
courage, and as important, if not mora
so. We need the moral courage that
will lead US to rebuke our party when
it is wrong; the intelligence that VIII
teach a man that his party is not his
master. but his servant.
mo human being can tell the effect OF
a single word or action. In history. all
ready we can trace the development OF
small causes. into. great results. No one
can measure the influence we can exert
in a righteous cause. The valor OF the
Beers in South Africa has already made
more secure every republic on earth,
and the bodies OF their dead have built
bulwark behind which the lovers OF
liberty will fight for centuries TO come.
Every time there is q struggle between
right and wrong the death of those who
struggle for the right blossoms forth into
the blessings for these who come after
them 1t is the duty Of the patriot in
peace to fight the battles CT peace and
win the victories of peace. no less re-
ncwned than the victories OF war
