zen. he should be ready to defend him
self against the running amuck OF the pis-
tol-toter.
Political observers here are convinced
that the publication OF the Bryan letters
yesterday marks the opening Of a cam
paign OF great bitterness between him
and President Wilson. For some time
such an eventuality has been regarded
as unavoidable. although It had been
hoped that the contest would be void Of
such invective as was embodied in
Bryan's newest uttersnce. II is by no
means certain that the officials Of the
Wilson administration may not eventu-
ally throw OF the thin veil which now
cloaks their answers to the Bryan prop
uganda and call a spade a spade. The
keenness and crispness of Secretary
Garrison's utterances In his recent mix
up with Col Roosevelt over the Platts-
burg incident, officials say. promises in
teresting developments fo- the national
defense debate.
Commoner Asks Public Aid.
Here are excerpts from tho Bryan let
ter:
Now new power mas arisen in the
land and demands control Of the taxing
power. II Is the preparers OF prepared
ness-the battleship builders and the
manufacturers Of munitions. They have
been making enormous profits supplying
the belligerent nations with fighting ma
terial. but the European war must end
some time-not as long as these human
vuItures can keep 1t going-but SOME
TIME: and what will these concerns do
for watermelon-like dividends then
There is only one way to- insure their
continued prosperity-they must lash
this country into a state of chronic fear
and then coin the fear into dollars. They
already have their subsidized organs set
ting up a false standard Of national hon
or-the duelist's standard: they are
clarifying brute force. They are trans
planting upon American soil the Euro
pean tree of hatred which is bearing its
bloody fruit across the Atlantic.
mo time Is to be lost: immediate ac-
ton is necessary. Congress will soon
meet, and when II meets this issue will
confront it Write to your Representa-
tives-write to your Senators. Tell them
this nation does not need burglars tools
unless II intends 10 make burglary its
business: r should not be a pistol-toting
nation unless it is going to adopt pistol
toters' ideas.
Don't let the jingoes confuse the Is
sue. It Is not a question Of defense-this
country will defend itself II II Is ever
attacked-and IL that time ever comes
the common people will furnish the SOL
diers-those who fight when the country
needs fighters and work when the couh-
try needs workers-the jingoes will be too
busy making army contracts and nego-
tiating usurious war loans TO go to the
front. The preparedness now demanded
will provoke war instead OF preventing
it. Peace among nations. as among in
dividuals. rests upon friendship and good
will, not upon force or fear. Try threats
and ultimatums on your neighbors and
see how they work. and then you will
understand the diplomacy that has red
dened the pages of history and delayed
the coming OF universal brotherhood.

When the last strains OF the Call to

sovereign grand commander rose and

Then there was fanfare Of trumpets
and on either side of the portals OF the
