REASONS WHY WE
DON'T WANT WAR
Neither Party Nor the Adminis
tration Wants Any Trouble.
DIFFERS FROM 1898 CRISIS.
When Trouble With Spain Began to
Brew Democrats Clamored For War. j
Bryan Was One of the Chief Advo
cates of Intervention In Cuba, and
Voluntoered For Service.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, Aug. 9—(Special)—
There are two good reasons why the
United States should avoid war with
Germany- One of these did not exist
just l>eforo the war with Spain. They
are—first, the administration does not
want war, and, second, neither po
litical party Is anxious to light.
Just before the trouble with Spain
the administration did not want war,
but oue of the political parties wanted
to fight, or, what was the same thing
and meant war, wanted intervention
In Cuba aud recognition of that repub
lic, which existed on paper.
It Is interesting to remember that at
a great banquet Just previous to the
action by congress which brought on J
tlie war William J. Bryan made a
speech and declared that the time had
arrived for this nation to act and de
clare Cuba a free republic. "That
speech was the voice of 0,000,00*) l>eiu-1
ocrats who supported Bryan in lSilti,"
was what a Democratic leader assert
ed in congress a short time afterward.
Pcace Man In War.
The peace feeling hnd not tnken such
possession of Bryan at that time. Not
only did he advocate a course that
meant war, but he advocated it at a
time when the administration was do
ing everything In its power to settle
the Cuban question by peaceful meth
ods. When war came Bryan enlisted
as colonel of tho Third Nebraska vol
unteers and was In 0110 of tho south
ern camps. He was still a colonel
when he came to Washington to urge
tho adoption of the in-ace treaty, a
treaty which precipitated a war with
the Filipinos. Since that time Btyan
has become the most ardent pence man
in the country.
When tho Real Fight Comes.
Tho real contest, the aftermath to
some extent of the Br.vau resignation
and a discussion of war and peace,
will come when an attempt is made in
the next session of congress to In
crease the army and navy and to make
tho national defense more etlicleut
Then will come a discussion of Bry
an's reasons for leaving the cabinet,
his relations with the Democratic par
ty and, what Is more Important, a test
of the strength of his following. Bry
an will have much to do al»>ut that
time to prevent military Increases, and
It Is believed that he will have many
supporters in congress, particularly If
there is no danger of war at the time.
Wants a Business Man.
Alvah Martin, member of the Repub
lican national committee from Virginia,
a man who will have much to say as to
what the twenty-four delegates from
that stato will do In the next national
convention, says that the Republican
candidate must be a business man.
Nearly every member of what was
known as the "old guard" In li»12, the
men who put Taft over at Chicago,
makes similar declarations. They are
for a business man. There is a suspi
cion in some quarters that they have
this business man picked.
Sulzer Politic.
Former Governor Sulzer of New
York was Interviewed on a recent visit
to Washington. "The president's note
to Germany was Just right Bryan had
a right to resign," was the substance
of Sulzer's comment upon the two most
important topics in the national capi
tal at the time. The "same old Bill"
didn't get caught either "a-comin' or
n-gwine" in the present political mix
up in his party. There was one occa
sion at the Baltimore convention when
Sulzer confided to somo of his friends
that tho time had come when lie should
bo nominated for president. And he
was in earnest
That 925,U00,UUU.
During the swing around the circle |
by the South American delegates to
the pan-American financial conference
the Colombian delegate roused a storm
of enthusiasm by declaiming vocifer
ously for a closer pan-Americanism,
lie continued his talk 011 the same liue
and received n great deal of publicity,
so much, in fact, that it looked as if
our enterprising friend, the press agent,
was on tho Job. And every time the
Colombian spoke he caused many peo
ple to wonder if he did not have in
mind tho treaty and its $25,000,000 for
Colombia which Is to be paid by the
United States if it is adopted.
Passing of the Indian.
About once in so many years the
story Is revived and retold about the
"passing of the Indian." The latest
comes from Dr. Francis J. Harding of
Omaha, who has made a study of In
dian character. lie predicts that in
100 years the Indian race will be ex
tinct, because the Indians and the
whites do not mix or amalgamate, and
tho Indians, being the weaker, must
perish. It has been the Impression of
many students of races that the In
dians are disappearing and that they
cannot flourish under civilization.
Saved on the
Gallows
By LOUISE B. CUMMINGS
Famous In English history Is that
Duko of Gloucester who murdered his
two nephews In tho Tower of London,
one of whom was the rightful heir to
the throne, and made himself king of
England In the prince's stead.
At that time there lived In England
Robert Percy, a young man of the
most admirable qualities. It was some
time before the secret of the murder
of the young princes began to leak
out, and when it did there were low
mutterlngs on the part of the people.
Fercy, who was familiar with the
king's treachery, was more loud spoken
than others, and Richard, aware of
the young man's Influence with the
masses and fearing that ho would
bring about a revolt, ordered his arrest
on a charge of high treason.
On the day that Fercy was conduct
ed along a street leading to the Tower,
surrounded by men at arms, the curbs
wore lined with sympathizers, who
breathed prayers that ho might escape
the danger threatening him and mut
tered maledictions on the head of tho
tyrant
At an upper window Btooa muy
Gwendolen Bickford, a younger daugh
ter of the Earl of Chnrenton. Sho
looked down on young Percy, walking
erect between Ills guards, his bearing
indicating that he was ready and will
ing to lay down his life in contending
against crime. Every one believed
that ho was going to Ills death. His
manly beauty, iris noble bearing and
the crown of martyrdom rendered hlin
an object of pity to alL But to Lady
Gwendolen he was nwro than this.
Within those few pdnutes during
which he was passing her heart left
her bosom and settled upon him. Per
cy, happening to look in her direction,
saw the lovelight in her eyes, and ills
load was lightened.
Richard, fearing to order I'ercy to
execution without a trial, lest it excite
the people to revolt, directed attorneys
to prepare a case against him. Per
sons were bribed to swear that ho had
been heard advocating the king's as
sasslnatlon and placing the Duke of
Richmond on the throne. Lady Gwen
dolen, hearing of thla, begged her fa
ther to Induce lawyers to defend the
accused. The earl not only knew that
the case was hopeless, but did not daro
to oppose the king; consequently he
refused to have anything to do with it
One day Lady Gwendolen went to
that quarter of London given over to
lawyers and found Roger Moore, an
old attorney who had served her fa
ther, and consulted him as to what
might bo done to save young Percy.
After listening to what the girl had to
say ho replied that Percy's case was
hopeless because the king had decreed
that he should die. "He wll! surely be
convicted," said the old man. "After
his conviction there Is but one way by
which he may legally escape the gal
lows. But should he go ^ree under this
statute the king would doubtless find
some other way to get rid of him."
Lady Gwendolen asked the attorney
to what law he referred, and he re
plied that It was a decree of Kins Ed
ward IV., naming a condition on which
a man about to be hanged should go
free. As soon as the girl heard the
condition her faco lighted with hopa
To fulfill It was possible, but would It
avail in the end?
Percy was convicted of high treason
against the king and sentenced to be
hanged and quartered on n certain
date. At the time an army was gath
ering under the Duke of Richmond to
depose the king, and Richard was gath
ering his forces to meet it There had
been a former attempt to put the duke
on the throne In the king's place, but
Richard was as bold and energetic as
he was wicked and had defeated all
attempts against his authority.
There was no one ho feared to leave
In his rear so much as Robert Percy,
and when he had made ull prepara
tions to march against his opponents
he delayed a day to make sure that
this dangerous enemy was dead.
The day before the one set for the
execution Lady Gwendolen Bickford
was closeted with Roger Moore, and
on the following morning, when the
crowd went to Tyburn to witness the
hanging, these two were of the num
ber, and when the prisoner arrived
they occupied seats near the scaffold.
When all was ready and tho con
demned man was about to be swung
off Roger Moore arose and said:
"Mr. Sheriff, as counsel for the pris
oner I claim his body under an edict
of King Edward IV., who decreed that
whenever a man is convicted of crime
and is about to be hanged, if there be
a woman willing to marry htm, he
shall go free. This woman beside me la
willing and ready to marry the pris
oner."
This speech naturally disconcerted
the sheriff, who had never heard of
the statute. Tho Judge who had con
victed the prisoner was present at the
hanging, and the matter was referred
to him. He at once confirmed Roger
Moore's statement, whereupon Percy
wns unbound, the black cap taken
from his head, and he looked down
upon the upturned face of Lady Gwen
dolen Bickford.
The king waited nil tne nour tor tue
execution, then, supposing Percy to be
dead, galloped off to Bosworth field,
where a few days later he was de
feated and killed. Robert Percy was
In Richmond's army, and Richmond
becoming king ennobled him, thus giv
ing him eqnal rank with the girl who
hafl. saved his life by marrying him.
"WHO COMES
HERE?"
By M. QUAD
Copyright, 1015, by the McCluro
Nowspaiior Syndicate.
"Unit! Who comes here?"
"Friends, with the countersign."
"Advance one and give the counter
sign."
It was the relief going I he rounds to
change the pickets, and I was dropped
out at post No. 7. We had fought Lee
all day long on the strangest battle- j
Held of the whole war—In the Wilder
ness. From right to left flank, from
front to rear, we were hemmed in by j
forest nnd thicket. There were swamps
in which lizards and serpents lurked, j
thickets in which the coy whippoor- j
will built its nest, dense spots of for-!
est which seemed never to have echoed j
the ring of the woodman's ax.
Post No. 7 was under a large tree on
the edge of n thicket. It was a lonely
place, well away from the camps, the
dead nnd the dying, but I was glad to
be alone. 1 had been nearly an hour
on the post without anything happen
ing to alarm ine, when I heard a per
son moving In the thicket across the
open strip.
ltustie, rusne: step, siep: it was,
a cautious movement. Whoever it was
hoped to reach me without discovery,
but there were dead leaves underfoot,
and the thicket was deuse. A hare
could not have moved without betray
ing Its presence.
"Who comes here?"
There Is silence Cor fifteen seconds,
and tlicn a woman's voice answers:
"I cuu't And the place! It's so dark
I can't flinl the place!"
Aye, it was a woman's voice, and It
had a sob In It, too—a woman there in
the darkness between the hostile lines
with powder smoke still In the air,
with stray bullets darting through the
thickets with a whiz as of some great
Insect stirred to auger.
"Who coines here?"
"I wish it wasn't so dark! I am so
tired!"
And then she comes across the open
strip toward me. making no stop, nev
er hesitating, walking straight up to
me, as if she could see ns well by
night as in the sunshine of day.
"I can't find the place!" she sobbed |
as she came to a stop within arm's j
length.
"Good God, woman, what are you do
ing here?" 1 gasped, almost terrified at
her presence.
"See! Seel" she replied, holding a
bundle out toward me. "One time I
saw a beautiful spot In the woods and
said to myself that If he died I would
bury him there, but 1 can't tind it—I
can't find it!"
"What Is It, woman? What have you
got there?"
"See! See! Don't be afraid. lie's
dead. ITe can't speak or move. l\ke
him!"
She put a bundle into my arms, and
I cried out nnd let my musket fall.
It wns the body of a baby alumr a year
and p half old. Dead? Yes—dead
from a crtiel bullet which had pierced
Its little body and left a great wound,
which looked horrible to me in the dim
light; dead and cold and bathed in
Its own blood—dead for hours! And
when I reached out and touched the
shawl or wrap worn by the mother my
fingers burned at the feel of blood!
"Was It your baby? Did you live in
the cabin beyond the thicket?" I asked,
still holding the little corpse.
"lie was so happy!" she said as she
patted the little bare head with a
motherly hand. "And I was so hap
py too! He won't ever laugh and
crow again, will he? I've got to find
that beautiful place and bury him,
haven't I? And you'll help me? ies;
I know you will, for you don't swear
and curse at me."
She had lost her mind. Think or it—
an Insane mother wandering over a
bloody battlelicld with her dead child
in her arms! She had but one idea—
to bury it in a dell which she had once
visited and remarked its beauty, a dell/
in which Federal and Confederate were
doubtless then burying their own dead.
I knew not what to do. I could not
leave my post, and I did not want her
to go wandering farther. 1 was trying
to soothe and quiet the woman when
she suddenly cried out:
"Ah, it's not so dark now, and I can
Gnd the placet I'll go on ahead and
dig the grave, and you follow on with
the baby. Poor baby! He won't know
that he is buried, will ho? I eau hud
the place, and you"—
"Come back! Come back!" I called
to her as she fled away in the dark
ness, but she was 200 feet away as
she answered me:
"I'll And the place! I'oor, poor
baby!"
And when the relief cauie I told the
story and pointed to the bundle rest
ing on the ground beside me.
"God pity her!" whispered the ser
geant as he lifted his cap.
"God pity her!" echoed all the oth
ers as they stood uncovered around the
poor little corpse.
Time meant human lives that night.
Grant was moving by the Hank. Lee
was moving by the tlank to match
him. The morrow was to witness more
slaughter — make thousands of oilier
widows and orphans.
"Dig here!" said the sergeant, and
with our bayonets we scooped out a
shallow grave in scarcely more than a
minute's time.
"Carefully now! Toor little thing!
Xow fill in. That will do. God knows
where it lies! Fall in! Forward,
march!"
And yet men write of the glory of
