Resigned From the Army, He
Talks Freely.
MB ISSUE NOT DEAD
I
Opposed to Expansion of Territory —
Even Willing to Give Porto Rico
to the Porto Ricans.
Savannah, Ga., Dec. 14—The resignation
of Col. W. J. Bryan having been accepted
by the government, he started last night
for Washington, byway of Atlanta. Before
going he said: “It is a mistake to suppose
nhe financial issue is a dead iseue. There
are issues which just now require more
direction attention, but they do not ex
clude that which is one of the most vital
problems with which our country has to
deal.”
Colonel Bryan upon leaving his com
mand, gave the following interview, tell
ing his reasons for resigning and discusc
iDg public questions said:
“The people of the United States having
rescued Cuba from foreign control may
now resume the discussion of the domes
tic problems which confront this nation
and to the consideration of the new* ques
tions arising out of the war,
“I may be in error, but in my judgment
our nation is in greater danger just now
than Cuba. Our people defended Cuba
against foreign arms; now they must de
fend thmeselves and their country against
a foreign idea —the colonel idea of Eu
ropean nations.
"'Heretobore greed has perverted the
government and used its instrumentalities
for-private gain, but now the very founda
tion principles of our government are as
saulted.
“The imperialistic idea is directly an
tagonistic to the idea and ideals which
have been cherished by the American peo
ple since the signing of the declaration of
independence. Our nation must give up
any intention of entering upon a colonial
policy such as is now pursued by European
countries or it must abandon the doctrine
that governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed.
"We may believe that governments come
up from the people, or we may believe that
governments come down to the people
from those who possess the heaviest can
nons and the largest ships, but we cannot
advocate both doctrines.
“To borrow a Bible quotation, 'A house
divided against itself cannot stand;’ para
phrasing Lincoln’s declaration, I may add
that this nation cannot endure half re
public and half colony—half free and half
vassal. Our form of government, our tra
ditions. our present interests and our fu
ture welfare all forbid our entering upon
a career of conquest.
“Jefferson has been quoted in support of
imperialism, but our opponents must dis
tinguish between imperialism and expan
sion; they must also distinguish between
expansion in the western hemisphere and
an expansion that involves us in the quar
rels of Europe and the orient. They must
still further distinguish between expan
sion which secures contiguous territory for
future settlement and expansion which
secures us alien races for future subjec
tion,
“Jefferson favored the annexation of
necessary contiguous territory on the
North American continent, but he was op
posed to wars of conquest and evpressly
condemned the acquiring of remote terri
tory.”
When asked how the colonial policy
could be prevented. Colonel Bryan said:
“Some think that the fight should be
made against the ratification of the teaty,
but I would prefer another plan. If the
treaty ie rejected negotiations must be re
newed and instead of settling the question
according to our own ideas, we must set
tle it by diplomacy, with the possibility of
International complications. It will be
easier. I think, to end the war at once by
ratifying the treaty and then deal with the
subject in our own way. The issue can be
presented directly by a resolution of con
gress declaring the policy of the nation
upon this subject.
“The president says in his message that
our only purpose in taking possession of
Cuba is to establish a stable government
and then turn that government over to the
people of Cuba. Congress could reaffirm
this purpose in regard to Cuba and assert
the same purpose in regard to the Philip
pine islands and Porto Rico. Such reso
lution would make a clear cut issue be
tween the doctrine of self-government and
the doctrine of imperialism.
“We should reserve a harbor and coal
ing station in Porto Rico and the Philip
pines in return for services ’•endered. and
I think we would be justified in asking the
fame concession from Cuba.
“In the case of Porto Rico, where the
people have as yet expressed no desire for
an independent government, we might with
propriety declare our willingness to annex
the island, if teh citizens desire annexa
tion, but the Philippine islands are too far
away and their people too different from
ours to be annexed to the United States,
even if they desired it.”
No Right to Ugliness.

SECOND OHIO HOSPITAL
It is a Good Thing for the Sick Sol
diers.
The Second Ohio is the only regiment
J in the service that from the very first dis
i regarded the order to dispense with the
I regimental hospitals, and the result has
' been that the military authorities were
1 forced finally to the decision that regi
mental hospitals were a good tiring after
‘ all. A visit to the hospital reveals what
can be done for the comfort and welfare
of sick soldiers when properly managed.
The surgeon in charge is Captain L. J.
Stueber, and be is ably assisted by Lieu
tenant Hyman Finklestone, a contract
surgeon- from New York, who has been
assigned to the regiment. Among the en
listed men of this regiment are a number
of practicing physicians, medical students
and pharmacists, and Captain Stueber,
recognizing the value of having such men
in The hospital corps, has had a large
number of them detailed to bis depart
ment. Among the former is Dr. Ira Dix.
who at. the outbreak of the war enlisted
at Van Wert, Ohio, purely through patri
otic motives. The stewards the Louis
Berger, a pharmacist of thirteen years’
i experience, Verne Stiner, who has had
I several months’ experience- at the division
hospital, and W. A. Gilbert.
Although general orders forbid the re
tention of more than ten patients in a
. regimental hospital at one time, the wards
, of this institution have bed accommoda-
I tions for twenty-eight. The drug depart
ment is as complete as any first class drug
store. Not only are the drugs furnished
by the government there, but hundreds
of dollars' worth purchased by the regi
ment itself.
One of the novel features of the insti
‘ tution is the dental auxiliary. Aching
I molars are extracted for the soldiers free
, of charge, and fillings are furnished at the
cost of the material only. A first class
dentist is in charge.

Ah We Are Seen.
" The witless ostrich hides his head and
imagines his ungainly body has likewise
disappeared from view. So our city papers
endeavor to hide awav the rottenness of
the methods adopted by the liquor traffic
in our recent election and seem io imagine
that the disgusting spectacle was hidden
from the gaze of Georgia and the world.
See how others see us. I copy an editorial
from -the New-Era, a -paper published at
Decatur. Ga.:
SHALL IT BE CIVILIZATION OR BAR
BARISM?
I read the other night of the prohibition
election in 'Macon. That was Thursday
and before the news had come of what the
result was though already was foreshad
owed the disaster to women and little
children that it carried with it. And my
heart sank wi-tihin me as I read of it all —
all the miserable story of how brave and
honorable men, who had less than a month
before shouted because in North Carolina
white men by force took awav the gov
ernment from negroes, now stood by in
patience and even participated, while
negro yells and brass bands, playing the
insulting airs of debauchery, drowned out
and stifled the weak treble of children and
the plaintive tones of suffering women as
they lifted up their -pitiful voices in plead
ing supplication to the throne of grace
against the monstrous and unutterable
tyranny of the barroom. And I thought
of what Edmund -Burke said of the bloody
deeds in France when women went mock
ed to the guillotine in the presence of a
chivalrous people, silenced by sordid cow
ardice in the presence of the 'sans culotte,
-how his words stung and blistered the
false liberty they satirized.
And the next morning I read in the pa
per that the result ended 1,400 majority
for the right of brutes and brutalizers to
Insult women and bring out their ribald
hordes of negro men to silence Christian
(women, and to coin the blood and tears
of little children and their patient mothers
into the infamous profits of the barroom.
And this was in Macon where it used to be
thought that brave men lived and gentle
men. -And this was perpetrated in the
blind folly that fancies that it is liberty.
(And I thought of what Madame de Stael
said in the time of that same holocaust in
France. “Oh Liberty, what crimes have
no-t been perpetrated in thy name.”
And so for a time yet, crime is legalized
in Macon and has victory by votes of
Georgians. How long, oh God, how long?

A Narrow Escape.
Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E.
Hart, of Groton, S. D., “Was taken with a
bad cold which settled on my lungs; cough
set in and finally terminated in consump
tion. Four doctors gave me up, saying I
could live but a short ‘time. I gave myself
up to my savior, determined if T could
not stay with my friends on earth I would
meet my absent ones above. My husband
was advised to get Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds.
I gave it a trial; took in all eight bottles.
It has cured me and -thank God I am
saved and am now a well and healthy
woman.” Trial bottles free at H. J. La
