Done With Experimenting.
In the course of his remarks DR..
Bradley said the world was done
with experimenting. What It want
ed now was 10 know the truth, and
in seeking this all must stand and
face the problems in an impersonal
way, quite independently OF how it
may effect them. He told how he,
in search Of the truth, had visited
the battlefield OF the Marine and
waded through 1876 miles of blood.
1t was from the seething move
ments, history truth was TO be
learned Many things he had seen
there had caused him to alter some
Of his scientific and philosophic
opinions.
The people of the world, he con-
tinued, were never so much in ear
nest Of their immediate future as
they are at the present moment. He
meant the whole world. America
was beginning 10 see she is a part
of the world. independent of all her
political opinions. America could
not be divorced from the worlds
affairs He quoted Russia as an
instance Of this. The history Of her
earnestness is written throughout
her land. in her life. her people,
her buildings nation not 10 be
Judged when under fire as she is
at present.
People VIII Impeach.
"The people Of the world are go
ing TO impeach at the court of pub
lie opinion every policy that does
not meet with their approval. We
Americans are becoming accustOm-
ed to a superficial opinionated view
Of things. We become too easily
accustomed to things. We love COM
fort and we want business as usu-
al I hate that expression, 1 hate
it now as 1 hated it during the war.
hate the idea of doing our bit
The idea is a blighting philosophy.
W q must no our utoLf Jul III Will
not do" With great earnestness he
pointed to the seven millions OF the
best men whose lives had been
spent I'm the wars Of America dur
ing the past decade-in the Ameri-
can wars and war in Mexico. It
was impossible 20 spend such
oceans of blood and get back TO
business as usual He spoke of
America today as torn with party
spirit. II would never be a nation
big enough to solve the problems of
the day until she did away with all
division.
Not a Party Spirit.
Democracy must not be party
spirit: it must embrace all Ameri-
cans but all nations. all races. all
cOlors and all creeds. He showed
how democracy could be successful.
When it failed 10 produce a su-
preme leadership. il has failed. No
democracy can long survive with
out a great leadership. Democracy
Is forever placed a hundred years
