THE ARGUS, MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 1000.
BRYAN ON ARBITRATION
Enlargement of Its Scope Described by the Ne
braskan Urges Investigation of Facts
The speech oil arbitration which
William Jennings Bryau made to tho
Interparliamentary union in London
and which excited such wide comment
in the English press I.s herewith repro
duced a3 reported in the I-oudou Times:
' The Hon. W. J. Bryan, who was re
ceived with loud cheers, said:
'Mr. President, gentlemen of the In
ternational Parliamentary conference,
I regret I cannot speak to you iu a
lanuaire which is employed usually in
this lody, but I only know one lan
guage, the laarruaye of my own coun
try, and you will have to imrdou me if
I use that. I desire, In the first place,
to express my appreciation of the cour
tesy shown to me hi the presentation
f my part of this resolution by Lord
Weardale, cur president, and by Baron
vou Pleuer, who is the chairman an 1
actively influences the council which
has framed this substitute emljodyiug
IjoUi the ideas that were presented
yesterday. I appreciate the suier!or
wisdom and the greater experience of
this learned council that has thus
united the two ideas, and I thank the
parliaments als-. for the opportunity to
Kay ju.st a word in defense of his part
of the resolution. I cannot say that it
Is a new idea, for since it was pre
vented yesterday I learn that the same
idea in substani-e was on a former oc
casion presented by Mr. Bartholdt of
my ov" country, who has lxen so con
spicuous in his efforts to promote
peaei uud I am very glad that I can
follow in his footsteps in tho urging
of this amendment.
I may add r.Iso that it is in exact
lir.e Avirh the suggestion mad? by the
honorable prime minister of !reat
Britain In that memorable and epoch
making speech of yesterday, in that
spe-h which contained several sen
tences any one of which would have
compensated us all i: our coming here.
Cheers. In that splendid speech he
expressed the hope that the scope of
arbitration treaties may le enlarged.
Mr. Bryan proceeded to cite the pas
sage In the speech of the prime min
ister to which he referred. This
amendment Is in harmony with this
suggest iqu. This resolution is in the
form of a postscript to the treaty, but.
like postscripts of letters sometimes,
it contains a very vital subject in fact.
I am i:ot sure but that the jost script
In this case I. as important as the
letter itself, for it deals with those
:rr Jio::s which have deflcd arbitration,
4'ertain questions affecting the honor
or integrity of a nation are considered

FOUR.TH
outside of the : pn.-re or a court cr
arbitration, and these are the iuetioJs
which have iven trouble. Passion is
not ofitm roused by quest iona that do
not affect a nation's integrity or honor,
an.l f;r tear these questions may arise
arbitration is not always employed
where it mis'it be employed.
"The tirst advantage, then, of this
resolution 13 that it secures an investi
gation of tlie facts, and if you can
but separate the fact from the ques
tion of honor the chances are one hun
dred to one that you will settle loth
the fact uud the question of houor
without war. IC'lirs. There is
therefore a great advantage In au in
vestigation that brings out the facts,
for disputed facts between nations, as
between friends, are the cause of most
disagreements. The second advantage
of this investigation Is that it gives
time for calm consideration. That has
already been well referred to by the
gentleman who has preceded me. I
need not say to you that man excited
is a very different animal fro.u man
calm 1 laughter and cheers, and tliat
questions ought to be settled not by
passion, but by deliberation, and If this
would do nothing . else but give time
for reflection, lor deliberation, for con
verse, that would be sutlicient reason
for its adoption. If we can but stay
the hand of war until conscience can
assert itself war would be made more
remote. AVhcn men are mad they
swagger around ami tell what they
can do; when they are calm they con
sider what they ought to do. Cheers.
"The third advantage of this investi
gation is that it gives opportunity to
mobilize public opinion for the com
pelling of a peaceful settlement, and
that is an advantage not to be over
looked. Public opinion is coming to
be more and more a power in the
world. One of the greatest statesmen
my country has produced, Thomas
Jefferson and if it were not immodest
I would say I believe him to be the
greatest statesman the world has pro
duced said that if he had to choose
between a government without news
papers and newspapers without a gov
ernment he woidd rather risk the
newspapers without a government.
Laughter and cheers. J You may cull
it an extravagant statement, and yet
it presents an Idea, ami that idea is
that public opinion is a controlling
force, and I an glad that the tiu:e Is
couiing when public opinion is to lie
more aud more a controlling force,
glad that the time is coming when the
moral sentiment of one natijn will af
fect the differences of other nations.

gidttthat the time Is coming when the
world realizes that a war between
two nations affects others than th
two nations involved, glad that the
time Is coming when the world Insists
that a nation cannot sit It idly and
look on while two nations tight out
their differences without protesting
that they shall settle them by some
peaceful means, and if j-ou give time
for the marshaling of the forces of
public opinion you can promote icace.
Cheers. Therefore this resolution is
suggested for the three reasons that It
gives a chance to investigate the facts;
that it gives a chance to separate tho
question of fact from the question of
honor; that it gives a chance for the
ealminir of passion; that it gives a
I chance for the formation of a control
ling public sentiment. Cheers. I
will not disguise the fact that I con
sider this resolution a long step Ui the
direction of peace, nor will I disguise
the fact that I am here because I want
this parliamentary union to take just
as long a step as possible in the direc
tion of universal peace. Cheers.
"We meet in a famous hall, and look
ing down upon us from these walls are
pictures that illustrate not only the
glory that is to be woa in war, but
the horrors that follow war. Cheers.
There I.; a picture of one of the great
figures in Knglish history pointing tc
the fresco by Maclise of the death of
Xeisonj. lie is represented as dying,
and around him are the mangled fig
ures of others. I understand that war
brings out great characteristics. I am
aware that it gives opportunity for the
display of great iwitriotism. I am
aware that the example of men who
have given their lives for their coun
try is an Inspiring thing, but I venture
to say that there is as much inspiration
in a noble life as there is in au heroic
death Icheers, and I trust that one of
the effects of this Interparliamentary
union will lo to bring to the people
of the world the idea that a life lived
for the; public, overflowing like a spring
with good, is au influence upon the
human race ami upon the destiny of
the world as great as any deatii upon
the battlefield. Cheers. And If you
will permit me to mention one whose
career I watched with interest and
whose name I revere, I would say that,
in my humble judgment, the sixty-four
years of spotless public service of "Wil
liam Ewart Gladstone loud cheers
will, in the years to come, be regarded
as as rich an ornament to the history
of this nation as the life of any man
who poured his blood out on the bat
tlefield. I Cheers. All movements in
the interest of peace have back of
them the Idea of brotherhood. If peace
is to come in this world it will come
l;cau.se iK'ople more and more clearly
recognize the indissoluble tie that-biuds
every human being to every other
human lcing. If we are to build per
manent peace it must be on the foun
dation of brotherhood of men. Auoet

camp.3 but a generation ago he has
described how i-i o;u battle a soldier
in one line thrust his bayonet through
vol Jier i.i the opposing line, and when
lis stooped to draw'' it out he recog
nized ia th face of the fallen one
the face of l:U brother. And then the
poet dv-cr;es th'j feeling of honor
that overwhelmed him to think that
he had taken the life of one who was
th:; child of the same parents and the
companion of his boyhood. It was a pa

which we are so well acquainted with?

as the years go by hntuan sympathy
will expand until this feeling of friend
ship and fraternity will not be bounded
by the members of a family or by the
members of a clan or a community
or state, but shall be worldwide?

day when we shall feel as individuals

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Fine cf $1CC.C0 Impossd fcr Substitut

Jacob, alias James CJoldgraber, a sa
loon keeper, of 2200 Market street, St.
Louis, Mo., recently indicted by the
grand jury for using Anheuser-Busch
Budweiser labels, taken from empty
bottles and putting them on bottles
containing beer brewed by other brew
ers and selling same as Budweiser. was
convicted and fined $100.00 in Judge
Moore's court. .
The case was vigorously prosecuted
by Campbell Cummings, and is the lirst
of several similar proceedings in which
he will appear for the brewery. The
case was begun Monday and continued
Tuesday until the jury went out at C:00
p. m. Within an hour and a half a ver
d!ct of guilty was returned against
Goldgraher, but Henry Stelman, who
was a co-defendant, was discharged.
The evidence showed that Goldgrah
er owns the saloon and that Stelman is
employe;! as a bartender. The conten
tion of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing
association's attorney was that his cli
ent suffered much annoyance and pe
cuniary Iofs by the practice of some
saloon keepers of substituting "Uud-v.-eiser"
labels for those of cheaper
grades of beer.

thing to bo done is to lend assistance
to the Unek Island club committee in
the collection of statistics, and arrange

made. Similar action will be taken at
meetings to be held probably the last
of this week in Andalusia ai.-.I liuffalo

of accepting personal security upon

vastly superior?
The personal surety may be finan

to-morrow ; or he may die, and Lis

In any event, recovery is dilatory
and uncertain.
Because of its greater stability, the
United States Government prefers
Corporate Suretyship. Follow its
example, and, when you require
suretyship of any kind, insist upon
