Touch Liquor Shall Never Touch
Mine" There are religions which
would accept that parable as Gospel
truth, and much to Bryan's credit.
Salem, ILL.,, is a little town which
fairly shrieks at you at its pre-emin
ence as a picture of that type. Al
you pass thru its orderly little streets
with its little frame houses, all of the
same kind and all neat and unassum'
ing, with its dirt roads and its typi
cal town hall, set correctly back be
hind a correct little patch of grass in
neat square, you feel instinctively
that the Darwinian theory must be
avoided in your Salem conversation

So they have; one of them was
Bryan's and he was born there on
March 10, 1860.
OF course he was the valedictorian
of his class-Illinois College, 1891.
OF course he became lawyer; and of
course, in the Middle West, that in
volved politics. He lived now in Lin
coin. Neb., in a Republican district,
but he was a Democrat. There was
a landslide in 1890. the whole cOun-
try went Democratic and many for
lorn hope leader in some hidebOund
Republican district was swept into
Congress, Bryan among them. He
made great speech on the tariff
which won him instantly a national
reputation; but Lincoln had recover
ed it's Republican poise, and he did
not go back to Congress. He added to
his reputation in his own State, how
ever. as editor of it's chief Democrat
ic organ, the Omaha World-Herald,
and went to Chicago as the head of
it's delegation to the National con-
vention of 1895.
The "CrOss Of Gold" Speech.
At a moment when David B. Hills
standard case and Tillman's failure
in his effort at rejoinder had thrown
wet blanket over the silverites,
Bryan came forward with his 'Cross
of Gold" speech. The cheering dele
cations carried him around the hall
on their shoulders. None of the candi-
dates before the convention was dom
mating or really of Presidential size;
the convention was deadlocked for
many ballots, and at last it turned to
Bryan and nominated him.
His defeat by Mckinley really
marked the beginning of his career
as a national leader. Despite the ac-
cident which had made him the De-
nominal leader, he demon
strated that he was the ablest of the
into whose hands it had fall
en-, and his nominal chieftainship be-
came a real one. 1t was evident from
the beginning that he would be nomi-
mated in 1900. When the Spanish
war broke out he offered his services
and become colonel of the Third Ne
braska regiment. The Republican Ad
was taking no chances
on his getting any military glory, and
it marooned him in Florida till after
the war. He returned good for evil

He brought his great following into
line for an Eastern man, and Wilson
was elected. The new President, fol
lowing a precedent set by Taylor,
Garfield and Harrison, made him
Secretary of State.
Effected Himself In Wilson'S Interest
The Bryan showed a new side OF
his character to the country. He eff
! faced himself in Wilson's interest: he
became a loyal subordinate, accept
ing a minor place cheerfully and la
boring with might and main to make
the Administration a success It Is
chiefly due to his efforts that is was
one for its first two years. The new
President was unknown to most of
his party, and the legislation he rec.
commended would have met with in
ternal opposition but for Bryan. The
Secretary whipped out his followers
into line even for legislation 50 re-
pugnant to them as the Currency
bill, and the Presidential program
went thru. In two years Mr.. Wilson
had become definite personality to
the country, and had following
Of his own; but his initial success
was due to Bryan, and but for Bryan
Mr.. Wilson might have had to face
party as divided as did Cleveland,
and might have seen his administra-
ton wrecked as Cleveland's was.
Mr.. Bryan hoped to make an en-
during name for himself as Secretary
of State. In the years that had
elapsed since he was Colonel of the
Third Nebraska. he had become an
ardent pacifist. and he dreamed of
going into history with title great

to agree not to fight without taking

remedy. The ''glorified cir

worked busily. building himself his
liche in the temple of fame, and
meanwhile the greatest war in his
DRY broke out.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1915-06-25

With such a mind as has been de-
scribed. it is evident that this event
could not shake Mr.. Bryan's conf
dence in himself or his remedies To
him it was obvious that the war
came because the nations involved
had not signed his treaty; If they
had Germany would have abided by
it; would not have dreamed of treat
ing it as a scrap of paper; would have
waited the prescribed year; and Aus
tria would have given Serbia the
same time to reply to her ultimatum.
The mischief was done, but he set
about heroically to repair it; he
sought to have the United States in
tervene as peacemaker; he sought
to proven. the United States from
protecting its citizens on the high
seas. since that seemed likely to lead
to war; and at last. finding his eff
forts of no avail, he resigned.
No one who had seen him in his
unequal fights for his principles on
less. mOmentous occasions could
doubt that he would fight for them
to the end on this greatest one. There
is no parallel to his action in Ameri-
can history. So far as its political
aspects are concerned. the nearest
thing to 1t is Blaine's resignation
from Harrison's cabinet in 1892:
but that only family resembles it.
Blaine did not resign because of any
difference in principles, but because
he wanted to fight the Administra-
ton; and the superficial resemblance
lies only in the similarity of the
relations of the two Presidents to
their Secretaries of State.
Bryan leaves the Cabinet saddened
but not disillusioned. When he had
been Secretary of State two months
he said that he would not have taken
office ''if thought there was to be
war during my tenure" 81 believe"
he added, "there will be no war while
l am Secretary of State, and be-
lieve there will be no war as long as
l live" It has not come out that
way; it might have SO easily come
out that way IL only Germany had
signed that treaty of his. But he is
not disillusioned; nothing can dis
illusion him; his ideal is still only a
day or two ahead Of him. and he re-
signs to fight for 1t. since fight for
1t in the Cabinet he cannot any lon
ger.
