however, has gone steadily for
ward, his influence probably
growing instead of diminishing,
until in the Baltimore Conven-
ton he accomplished feat which
is likely unprecedented in histo-
~, in forcing the nomination of
Wilson. Secretary Bryan is
without doubt the most potent
individual force in the world to-
day, with as great a personal
following as any man, and these
men are all loyal to him with
out any expection of reward or
recognition. Time and space
will not permit of the naming of
political leaders, traducers of
Mr.. Bryan, who have during the
East seventeen years fallen by
che political wayside.
Many of these same people
who have been assailing Mr..
Bryan are now attacking Mr..
Wilson, Notwithstanding his
great service to the country in
having brought about so much
remedial legislation, prevented
a war with Mexico, having ham
died the difficult problems wiiled
TO him from former administra-
5tionS and conditions resulting
from the war in Europe and
Asia in most admirable fashion.
The legislation accomplished by
this administration has not been
brought about by the so-called
Gictatorial policy of President
Wilson, nor is the solidarity of
the Democratic party accounted
for in this way. President Will
son is able to accomplish results
because he is leading in a course
approved by the people, whom he
has taken into his confidence.
Wilson and Bryan stand out
stronger than ever as peace ad-
Qocates at the present time be-
cause they have been earnest,
consistent advocates of interna-
Eional peace for years.

The Victory Of Peace.

In these days OF mighty con-
fiict between the nations of Eu-
rope there is being promulgated
in the city of Washington the
greatest plans ever undertaken
by men in the direction of per-
rGanent peace between the ma
tions. During the past year
Secretary Bryan has signed peace
treaties with twenty-five nations
large and small, and only yester-
day he signed four more. These
peace treaties provide that all
nations submit their grievances
to an arbitration court, and shall
not declare war against each 9TH
er until the arbitration court
shall have passed upon the troub-
lie between any two nations.
These treaties are particularly
the fruit of the peace labors of
Secretary Bryan. For many
years he advocated the principle
which he has now engrafted in
the treaties with the nations, and
through all the years the world
will give him credit for paving
the way for that permanent
peace which must prevail among
the nations which have signed
the Bryan peace treaties. The
treaties signed yesterday by Sec
rotary Bryan were with Eng
land, Spain, China and France.
Those four nations govern 900
millions of people, and with the
twenty-five treaties heretofore
negotiated, more than two-thirds
Of all the people in the world
will now be under permanent
peace treaties.
While the old world is to-day
applauding as its heroes the
army generals who can destroy
the most human lives IN one day,
the thoughtful American citizens
are lifting their hats in loyalty
to this masterful genius of peace
this quiet man from Nebraska.
And in the day when real peace
shall be established between the
nations now at war in Europe,
this Nebraskan will be hailed in
every country and in every cline

The national administration sent its
heaviest artillery into New York to
support the Democratic candidate for
governor-a candidate who had become
governor when Sulzer was kicked out
Of the Peoples House and whose
record in that Office has been far better
than that of the average occupant

election by some of the ablest. clean
est men in New York State. And yet
Whitman is elected by landslide,
and Glynn's showing in New York city,
where the strength of Democracy has
been greatestSsis so poor as to leave
Tammany itself dumfounded.
Governor Glynn made the unfortu-
nate mistake of allying himself with
Tammany to such an extent as to
make appointments for Tammany, to
responsible positions. which were a
stencil in the restrils of decent men.
The fact he could not avoid, and
Whitman made the most of it, al
though Whitman himself accepted a
Tammany noulinstion for district at
torney one year ago and was glad to
get it.
Apparently the spirit of political in
dependence is strong today in New
York State. and it is spirit that
must be reekoned with. Whitman has
a chance to make good as governor.
He has a chance, indeed, to become
the logical candidate of his party for
President in 1915.

Belgian Relief or Robbery

(NeW Ork w OFld.)
Rejoicing in the splendid beneyo-
lence of the Rockefeller Foundation
in Belgium, civilization will not fail
to note the persistent rapacity of the
Germans in their treatment of a
wrecked and ruined nation. On the
very day that the princely charity of
Mr.. Rockefeller was announced, word
was received here that the war in
demnity exacted by the Germans
from Brussels had been fixed, after
protracted negotiation, at 100000.
This sum is larger than that which
the Rockefeller Foundation estimates
as needed to relieve the suffering
non -combatants in Belgium during
the coming winter 1t is many times
larger than the combined contributions
by individuals ali over the world for
the relief of these sufferers. Yet 1t is
only a fraction of the sacrifices that
have been made by a heroic people in
defense of their liberty
Practically the whole of Belgium
900 of its $500, 900 inhabitants are fugi-
tives.s Other millions are homeless
or helpless. The power which des-
troyed its industries and ravaged its
fields also seized its food, and now it
levies' upon money with which food
might be purchased.
In this oppression of a starving ma
ton there is neither disguise nor
denial. The robbery Of Brussels is as
frank and open as the sack of Lou
vain. 1t is to be noted Furthermore
that it has no excuse in the fiery
ardor Of battle. 1t results from delib
crate policy. Brussels has been in the
hands of the Germans since Aug. co.
They accept 100000 to be paid in
weekly instruments of 100000 be-
cause, having demanded much more,
they are at length convinced that this
is all they can get

thing else has been?
Those who would feed the hungry
and clothe the naked must first make

with the settled plans OF German mil
itarism. Morally the Belgium people
are as much charge upon the Imper-
ial Government at Berlin as any of

Editorial Comment
The Prosressives Folding Their Tents

The Prosressives Folding Their Tents.
Boston Herald)
One highly significant result or the
Massachusetts election has been the col
lapse of the Progressive party. Mr.. Jo-
seph Walker its candidate for Governor,
expressed the belief in an interview yes
terday that the ballot would show "a
substantial increase in the Progressive
vote over that of last year; that instead
of falling off the Progressive party yas
growing and would grow" And no one
who knows his essential frankness can
doubt that he meant exactly what he
said.
While we do not object to candidate
taking an optimistic view of his party
prospects on election morning, seldom
has such an expression proved wider OF
the mark. Mr.. Walkers vote proves to
be hardly more than one-fourth that cast
for Mr.. Bird last year. and only about
one-sixth that cast yesterday for MT.
Mccall, although only IL months ago the
Progressive nominee outran the Repuo-
lican by substantial margin.
Here is an overturn little short OF SEN
sational. 1t accentuates a tendency al
ready long in evidence, the existence or
which has been holly disputed by all Pro-
gressive leaders and their Democratic
allies. The Herald printed some months
ago. from the pen of Charles Willis
Thompson. a record of Progressive de-
cline in various states which proved most
impressive. Maine soon came along with
the same story. There the Progressive
vote of September fell to 40 per cent. of
that cast for Roosevelt in the presiden-
tial polling. Now Massachusetts, follows
with still more marked decline.
This undoubtedly means the end of the
Progressives as a separate organization.
Even the newly invoked prohibition issue
has not saved them or apparently helped
them.
