STUART PRETENDER DEFEATED
AT CUlLODEN 10 YEARS AGO

1t was 40 years ago Sunday April
16, 1746-1hat the last hopes of the
last Of the Stuarts went down to
rise no more upon the field OF CullO-
den. Charles Edward, grandson OF
James the Second, known in history
as the Young Prctcndcr," was a very
interesting character, and it is easy
to understand why it is that his story
is still read by us with wide-Open
eyes.
He was a brave, rcSOurcciul, OF en-
gaging personality, and, most attrac
tive Of ALL was a born OptimiSt. He
doubtless felt that he had a clear
right to the English crown, and his
story proves that he had the full cour-
age Of his convictions. Backed by
the French government, Charles Ed
ward, in 1744, set out for Scotland at
the head Of a formidable armament,
but his fleet was destroyed by the clo-
ments.
In 1745, however, he embarked again
in a small vessel with but seven
friends and landed on a little island
in tho Hebrides. The clans rallied to
his standard, and he soon found him
self at the head Of 1900 men, and at
Preston Pans he cut to pieces an Eng
lish army 1000 strong.
Victory Wins Recruits.
Victory at once trebled his force,
and at the head Of 5000 Highlanders
he pushed on into Derby. Convinced
more and more as he moved south
ward that "the people had not called
him." and learning that a large force
was rapidly closing in upon him, he
turned about and headed his army
northward.
At Glasgow he received reinforce
ments, and with his army, raised to
some 5000 men, he fell upon the Eng
lish army, under Gen. lIawlcy, and
almost anihiated it.
But his victory did him little good.
The Highlanders, whose wild charges

Fight at CulIoden.
At last, on the 10th Of April, the

two armies, the Pretender's, 5000

about twice that number, faced each
other on the Culloden Moor. The

WHO KEPT US OUT OF WAR?

Only once in the year and a half
Of European war has this country
been in real danger of becoming in
volyci IN the conflict. That real
crisis occurred when the President
almost succeeded in forcing through
the Democratic Congress his ship
purchase bill So long as nations al
war sank private merchant ships car
rying war supplies to other warning
nations, the controversies that arose
were questions which could be settled
by negotiation. We have never
doubted the right OF any beligcrant
to prevent, il it could, the delivery Of
"contraband' goods 10 its adyer-
saries. We exercised that right dur
ing the Civil War
But If We had undertaken to carry
American goods in government owned
ships as was proposed by this admin
istra.on- and, moreover in ships
formerly owned by nations at war
those ships would certainly have been
captured and destroyed. No one will
dispute the assertion that such action
would have involved us in the war
Immediately The American states
men who ayer:ed the only real and
serious Ncrisis-the men who actually
kept us out Of war, were the Republic
can Senators, aided by seven patriotic
Democrats, who prevented tho pas
sage Of the ship purchase bill.

I'VE have not been following the
path Of peace. We have been blindly
stumbling along the road that, contin-
ned, will lead to inevitable war Our
diplomacy has dealt with symptoms
and ignored causes. The great decis-
