Some one has recently, said, aud We
confess that when We read 10 the sug-
gestion startled US, that the sure way
TO disband the armies of earth and re-
turn soldiers TO pursuits peaceful, was
simply to withdraw all war corresp0n-
dents, which is equivalent 10 saying
that after all soldiers from general IN
command to private soldier IN rear
rank were mere paper soldiers. Put
al end 70 publicity and you put an
end 70 war. Stop the recording Of
deeds Of daring, and men stop doing
them. Cease TO sound the praises "
heroes Of the battlefield and the supply
Of such heroes will soon be exhausted.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.

The great Democratic Convention
has met, and how well it did its work
remains to be seen. Whatever may be
the result in November, however, a
united democracy is a fact. A plat
form was adopted without discussion
One that was acceptable to Mr.. Bryan,
on the one side and Mr.. Hill on the
other-these two men representing the
two great wings Of the party. 1t is not
too strong TO say that the scars OF 90
and 1900 are healed. What was con
sidered an impossibility has been ac-
complished-B Bryan and Hill, New
York and Nebraska, have come to-
gether. and the political abyss has been
bridged. Victory If dependent upon
unity, is clearly in sight. Issues Of the
past are dropped; issues of the future
are left 10 the future, and the party APP
peales to voters on questions which are
living and burning now in the public
mind, end the outlook Tor success in
November is brighter than for years.
Fifteen thousand people assembled
in the great Coliseum on Friday night
Senator Daniel, Chairman of the Com
nittee on resolutions read the platform.
There was no discussion at its close, as
every question had been carefully gone
over in Committee, and there was no
need Of argument. Having been unan-
imously endorsed in Committee, it was
reendorsed in the Convention. and
amid thunderous and tumu'tuous APP
plause, the North, East, South and
West pledged loyal support.
If unity of purpose and plan is an
omen OF victory then this great country
will notlong be afflicted with Roose-
Veltism.

asleep. There Is much said by those
who sit on cushioned chairs about cow
ards and weaklings in the nations life.
The sunburnt> farmer is just as brave
as the star crowned soldier. The man
OF natural peace is hero a hundred
times to where the man OF artificial
war is hero once. Some how OF late
the atmosphere of our national life is
filled with a spray OF blood; somehow
the march OF progress sounds OF ham,
mered steel; somehow, although the
sunlight ofpeace is all around us, there
IS now and then the CLEAN OF bayonets
n is radiant fire and flash as Of
swords in its silver beams; somehow,
although the constitution is still in
force there is a sense Of failing power
and growing disrespect which makes us
feel that the venerable! old man-so to
speaks halt and bind with years
and burdens the strenuous household
OF his grandchildren. Somehow, at
times, there runs n sort OF shock
right down the foundations OF this re-
public which makes the structure trem-
bic and all the country pauses and lis
tens and then returns TO work. Some
how, although the future welcomes us.
it does so with n mailed hand: some
how, although you cannot put your
finger on the cause, there is a univer-
sal fear; the mother watching while
her children sleep, now and then she
hears the bugle call, the tramp OF SOL
diers and staring amid the darkness Of
a dream she sees the "rigid up-turned
face. The tOiler, tul ming all his time
and sinew into gain which others get,
begins TO doubt that the government
is just. The man OF means, who puts
it ont - the active currents OF the tide.
and sees the peril OF this doubt and the
governments compromise with both.
begins 10 feel that it is better boarded
than employed.
The north and south each wearing
scars that tell of war almost forgiven
and forgot, feel the fear again that a
problem which only time eau settle
right, will be forced upon them wrong.
These fears and doubts and startled
dreams and vague misgiN .ngs in many
a hidden cause. But over them is one
at least revealed. For Lincoln said i'm
the sadness of his great soul, with
malice toward none. with charity for
all, with faith in the right as God gives
us the wisdom TO see it" and Roosevelt
said in the glory of self-contemplation
"tread softly and carry big stick"
