winter and regeneration was slow in the
inclement days of spring and early sum-
mer. The frequent rains, the fog, and
the chilling east winds, developed rheu-
matism in those to whom its pangs had
heretofore been unknown and intensified
the sufferings of those before afflicted.
But let us hope that the elements have
done their worst, and that the coming
months may be filled with gladness and
sunshine. Our summer visitors are due
to arrive from now on, flowers and foli-
age are at their best, and all that is

While a member of the cabinet Bryan
declared for national prohibition, to which
President Wilson is opposed, to get the
prohibition vote. When he thought the
propitious moment he had been awaiting
had arrived he resigned the office of
Secretary of State to get thu pro-Ger-
man and peace-at-any- price vote. Now
he is appealing to the labor unions. In
his speech at Carnegie Hall, New York,
he made an earnest effort to induce the
organized labor of the country to take
up with his peace theories. He argued
at some length and with undoubted
conviction, that only by refusing to
strengthen itself can this Nation follow
the safe and certain path to assured
peace. Armaments, he insisted, pro-
woke war. Disarmament and defense
lessness, Mr.. Bryan pleaded. were really
far safer and far more of an insurance
for peace, than preparedness for nation
al defense. Bryan is not likely to make
many converts in this direction. Mr..
Gompers, the leading labor spokesman,
in declining to take part in the meeting
said:
81 am not willing to have either the
labor movement or our men and women
placed in false position. The United
States will not voluntarily enter into the
present European war. OF that am
confident. If, despite our reserve and
self-control, we shall be dragged into it,
whether we like it or not, there will be
but one position to ourselves. true to our
fellows, true to the highest ideals of hu-
mainly for which our movement stands. "
'That." said the Boston Advertiser,
lis the voice of sound, sterling, common
sense, in reply to mushy and senti-
mental theory which is in itself threat
to American National safety. Mr.. Bryan
preaching peace, would merely invite a
war that could have but one ignoble end
ing. Mr.. Gompers, as friend of peace,
wants the United States in position
where it can adequately defend its safe
ty and thus have some real assurance of
peace"
