Mr.. Bryan, whom he considered more
populist than democrat, and he did not
like the tariff plank of the platform,
which he considered a catch-penny de-
vice for votes.
He was in an unhappy frame of mind
and I'm an awkward position. Going ovel
to the republicans was out of the ques'
ton, because he did not agree with them
at all. So his impulse was to Withdraw
from public life. temporarily at least. and
devote his time to his private affairs. II
was publicly announced that he was con-
sidering such step.
But he did not take the step. Had he
done so he would probably have closed
his political career forever. Instead. he
remained in his party-thougll with no
change OF opinion as to Mr.. Bryan-was
returned to the next House. was promoted
in time to the Senate. and Is today his
party's leader In that body and one of its
ablest champions in the country He, his
party. and the country would all have lost
had he retired from public life because OF
a difference with the majority about a
candidate and a platform.
What Joseph Weldon Bailey did in 1896
insurgent republicans Of high degree can
afford to do now. He was not a repub-
Iican, and they are not democrats. He
decided to stay in Office and make his
fight within his party's lines, and today
he has many followers on the tariff ques-
ton. They should stay where they are,
and make their fight within their party $
lines. They would not be comfortable or
at home in the democratic party on any
question. And. in all probability, MIR.
Bailey does not expect many recruits.

Secretary Knox will add another peace
dove feather to his cap IL his good offices
avail to avert war between Peru and
Ecuador. Ordinary diplomacy had near
~ reached the end Of its tether in its
efforts to amicably settle this dispute
between the two governments. Troops
were in motion and battle imminent. The
American Secretary acted quickly and ef-
fectively. The cooperation of Brazil
and the Argentine Republic was invited
and these governments agreed to lend
their aid. Representatives OF these three
American powers presented joint notes
at Lima and Quito to the effect that IF
the governments of Ecuador and Peru
will withdraw their forces from the
frontier, suspend mobilization and other
measures of preparation for war and
aw:it eventualities, then, in case no
ties subsequently arise, the three govern
ments will undertake a satisfactory
solution by mediation
Peaceful means will adjust the bound
airy difficulties best. The conclusion will
be based on principles Of equity and right
instead of on superiority of sOldiership or
strength of numbers. There will be no
glorious" fields strewn with dead men,
no stricken widows and sorrowing friends
and no waste of treasure. What the
peaceful settlement may lack in glory
will be compensated for in common sense.
