Pointed Bryanisms

The people who get up war are
not the people who do the lighting.
They are too busy getting ammu-
milton contracts.
The real issue confronting this
country is whether or not Amer
ica's liSh ideals are to be pre-
served.
As the pistoI-tOting man is
menace, SO the pist0l-totinS nation
is a menace
! am not willing that any Amer
lean boy should ever march under
the banner OF king or should
give his LIES blood to help any
monarch out OF his difficulties.
God forbid that any American
army should ever be sent to for
eign soil. or that American sol.
diers should die in the battlefelds
of Europe under the legions OF Il
king.
Nothing is final among friends.
Instead OF the ultimatum, with its
yelled threat Of force, the United
States should try in IA spirit OF CO.
operation to settle its differences.
Ii history ever writes my name,
l believe it will say that | have
done my country Il greater service
in the last 10 months than in all
my previous life. Some have crit
icised me for leaving the presi-
dents cabinet. but | believe ! have
been a stronger aid to the presi-
dent, to my party and to my coun-
try. by so doing and thus speaking
out against the conspiracy which
a subsidized press carries on.
An effort is being made 10 trans
form our national policies. to
change this country from the fore
most advocate OF peace to the
ideals of the old world, to install
the false philosophy of terrorism.
which advocates preventing wars
by getting ready for wars.
The spirit of America must he
the spirit that we find among indi-
yiduaiS in our neighbOrhoOd. that
Of helping others. Ii this is good
policy for a neighb0rhO0d. | be-
lieye it is for a nation and be-
lieve that in the providence OF God,
the task has been laid upon this
nation TO lead the world into a
larger and brighter day. to Lift the
world out of the black night of war
into the light of day.
Americas standard of honor
must be in harmony with her as.
pirati0ns and achievements.
Patriotism is unseltish service
defined in national terms.
The nations destiny is matter
OF choice, not a matter OF chance.
We can better serve humanity by
an example which will lift the
European nations to the plane OF
brotherhood than we can by de-
scending into the mire in which
they are now fighting.
The picture of Christ before
PLATE is reproduced anew in every
conflict in which love and force
are brought face to face.

army on which we are building our
hope. can be educated for the $780,
100000 which the alarmists are advo-
eating for warfare.
President Needs announcement.
Some have criticized me for leay-
ing the presidents cabinet, but | be-
lieve | can render greater service to
him, the party and my country by do
ing so. The president is not fully in
accord with this preparedness cam
palgn and he should have your moral
support and encouragement in the diff
cult position in which he is placed"
Mr. Bryan then gave his reasons for
keeping out of the war, which he said
would be liable to come if this huge
expenditure for preparedness is made.
First was the financial question, which
he said was the least important He
showed that the war debts of the coun-
tries at war had reached more than
S3o,OGO,0OO,000 in two years and hat
the children to be born 500 years from
now will be bearing the yoke which
posterity has pequeathed.
Would Take Million Men.
He pointed out that already 5000 900
men had been killed but argued that
if 1t was manly to go to war, Amer
lea must play the mans part and send
her full share into the conflict. He
figured it would take from half a mil
ion to a million men and declared
that in his opinion the loss of little
more than 100 lives of those who took
ship they never should have taken
into the war zone, was not sufficient
provocation for this great sacrifice.
He showed that America would lose
its standing as the great peace coun-
try, the leading neutral, if we joined in
the war. In closing he said The spr-
1t of America is not the spirit of Eu-
rope. The spirit of America must be
the spirit that we find among our in
dividuals in our neighborhood that of
helping others. If this is good policy
for neighborhood, | believe it is for
nation, and l believe that in the
providence of God, the task has been
laid upon this nation to lead the world
out into a larger and brighter day. to
lift the world out of the black night of
war into the light of that day when
peace can be made enduring by being
built on love and brotherhood. When
people tell me that our honor NAV re-
qulre US to get down and walIow in the
mire with the nations of Eurone. /
tell them that there is higher honor
than that if we can lift the world I'D.
II we can set the world an example, II
we can claim the promise made to the
peacemaker, it will be an honor great
er than can be gained by sinking to
their level, and extending and pro-
longing this cruel and inhuman war"

of mail handled in the Moline post
office indicate that business conditions
over the whole county, and in Moline

the case for three years. Incoming

any time in three years, says Mr.. Oh

| The increase is especially noticeable
on outgoing mail, indicating that local

ness. Amount of incoming matter,
which always serves as a barometer
for conditions in other parts of the
country, is on the increase, although
there has been greater gain in out
