Commenting upon the fact that every war whichrhas heretofore been entered upon since the organization of the administration of a man without militiry experience, whether it be the war with the ‘Barbary States in 1803, and with Mexico, or the war of the rebellion, the San Bernardino Sun says: Possibly President McKinley’s practical knowledge of war and of the losses of life and all the sorrows which accompanied it, may have hai something to do with his willingness, anxiety, indeed, to bring the questions which have been constantly before him to a peaceful solution. Ifthis be true, it was because of this practical knowledge of the horrors of -war and the sufferings they must bring, for there is nothing in William McKinley’s personal history on the battlefield to show lack of courage.
