NO WAR OF CONQUEST ;
Should be Waged, but we Fight
I
For Humanity.
Omaha, Neb., June 15 —The
Nebraska building at the expo
sition was dedicated today with
appropriate ceremony amid the
plaudits of thousands of the
state’s citizens. Gov. Holcomb
and his staff took part in the ex
ercises, along with many of the
slate’s most distinguished resi
dents.
The speakers of the day were
Hon. Constantine J. Smith,Hon.
William F. Gurley and Hon.
William J. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan’s oration was nota
ble for one thing—his first pub
lic declaration on the war issue.
He took high ground on the
question, urging that the war is
for humanity, and not the ex
tending of the United States ter
ritory. In concluding he said
the maniLst destiny of the na
tion is m t to acquire new realms
to govern, but to carry out the
fundamental principles of Dem
ocracy to the end that equality
among the citizens may be se
cured. Mr. Bryan said, in part:
“War is harsh ; it is attended
by hardships and suffering, it
means a vast expenditure of '
money and men. We may aIL
pray for the coming of the time!
promised in Holy Writ when
the spears shall be beaten Into
pruning hooks, and the swords
into plowshares; but universal
peace cannot come until justice
|is enthroned throughout the
world. Jehovah deals with na- 1
tions as he deals with men, and)
for both decrees that the wages
of sin is death. Until the right
has triumphed in every land
and love reigns in every heart,
government must, as a last re
sort, appeal to force. As long as
the oppressor is deaf to the voice
of reason, so long must the citi
zen accustom his shoulder to the
musket and his hand to the sa
ber.
“Our nation exhausted di
plomacy in its efforts to securea
peacable solution of the Cuban
question and took up arms when
it was compelled to choose be
tween war and servile submis
sion in cruelty, which would
have been a disgraceful submis
sion to barbarism.
“History will vindicate the
position taken by the United
States m the war with Spain. In
saying this I assume that the
principles which were invoked
in the inauguration of the war
will be observed in its prosecu
tion and conclusion. If a contest
undertaken for the sake of hu
manity degenerates into a war
of conquest, we shall find it diffi
cult to meet the charge of hav
ing added hypocrisy to greed. Is
our national character so weak
that we cannot withstand the
temptation to appropriate the
first piece of land that comes
, within our reach?

all possible harm ie the warfare,

Chicamauga National Para,
June 14.—It'ia stated that orders
