Bryan and the Olive Branch.

The proposed self-imposed mission Of the
late secretary Of state to the warning nations OF
Europe as a private envoy Of peace has several
easily noted features 70 commend IL. Mr..
Bryan, as the most outspoken OF all the present
dey advocates OF universal peace. himself feels
that his ideas can be more effectively presented
in person than by mail, and he longs for an
opportunity to talk to the warriors now tearing
up everything within reach in pursuit Of their
destructive bent. Few, n any, OF these have
ever felt the melting influence OF the great COM
iHoners persuasive eloquence, and there is no
telling in advance just what good effect his
hortative discourse might not have upon them.
II MIR. Bryan we're successful in his mission
and restores peace to the world he will have
cone inestimable service to humanity. On
the other hand II he to encounter stiff
necked. proud and bellicose people stubbornly
refusing to listen to his pacification projects, he
might help Us all TO learn really serviceable
lesson as to the makeup of human nature. At
first glance the experiment seems something
like that tried by King Canute, when he bade

deceptive. II should be encouraged, however,
