6 BMR« 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. PEACE JUBILEE. Celebration in Atlanta, Georgia, on Dec. 14 and 15. Account of the above occasion tickets will be sold at very low rates via the Southern i Railway.

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? H. A. 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.
