SAYS MORALS OF THE PRESIDENT
ARE MARKED BY DE
FORMITY.
SAYS AE IS BLOODTHIRSTY
Refers to Speech Made By Him When
He Said Soldiers Should Not
Only Be Willing, But
Anxious to Fight.
Lincoln. Neb., Aug. B.—W. J. Bryan
accuses President Roosevelt of going
beyond the limn of nis advocacy of
tne strenuous ~.t\ Mr Bryan says:
"President Roosevelt, in his recent
extemporaneous speech at West. , olnt
gave expression t.o a sentiment which
suggests an inherent: oarbarism that,
win have to be taken into account
in weighing the purposes and predict
ing his future course. H4s address on
the strenuous life, delivered some
tnree years ago showed that he placed
physical courage above mental great
ness and moral worth. But when in
his West Point speech lie laid aside
all restraint and in a fit of animal en
thusiasm said, ‘A soldier must not only
be willing to fight, he must be anxious
to fight; 1 do not want to have any
thing to do with him if he is not,' lie
turned a light upon his inner self and
revealed a moral deform .y which
must shock such of his frien>.~ as are
not wholly carried away with tap
bloody and brutal gospel oi imperial
ism. It is unfortunate for the country
...ml the president should have held
before its embryo soldiers the lower
rather than the higher ideas of mili
tary life. There have been many great
soldiers during the last nineteen hun
dred 'years, great Christian soldiers,
who have loved peace, and yet who
have in iui hour of peril won glory
for their country and themselves.
These .-lioi'id be eulogized and emtt
evil, and only evil can come
from idealizing "the blood-thirsty sol
diers.’ s
