Bryan is changing my notions of
war and peace. I'm beginning to
wonder if he isn't opposed to war be-
cause he fears that in war time men
will be too busy fighting to stand
still while he breaches at and re-
forms them. He's like the charity
workers who love to study the psy-
chOlogy of the starving poor, or
keenly watch the effect on a poor
mother Of having her children taken
from her after they have sent her
husband to the Bridewell. And he
seems to be afraid now that Wilson
might do something that would spoil
that new phrase of his: You shall
not bury the Democratic party in
drunkard'S grave. Bryan might be
a heroic figure in war, for he would
have the courage of a fanatic, but
with peace I'm afraid he will preach
himself into a piffler's grave.
This war we're in. is a newspaper
war so far, and a war for munitiOn

drop off their partisan masks, bulge
out their chests and claim to be pa
triOts. And we're all together in one
thing at least-the flag. Roosevelt

Anyhow, peace is merely another

it from parents, and after fighting
