peace net husband s abiding interest in international arbi- 

 tration, asked if I could not take a leadership in 

 some great reform — World Peace, for example, as 

 I had often spoken in its behalf. This request was 

 of course neither the cause nor the source of my 

 work for international conciliation, but I mention 

 it to show the attitude of both founders of Stanford 

 University toward the greatest of all social reforms, 

 the one indeed on which all others wait!^ 



To the In the summer of 1898 Mrs. Jordan and I had a 



Southwest wonderfully delightful vacation, one part of which 

 was notable, at least in our own lives. In early 

 June, at the instance of Emory E. Smith — for a 

 time a teacher in Stanford University — and ac- 

 companied by him and several other congenial 

 friends, including Dr. Branner and Mr. Charles F. 

 Lummis of Los Angeles, we set out to visit the 

 Grand Canyon of the Colorado. Later, at Lummis' 

 invitation, a few of us extended our trip to the 



(of Stanford University) of "The Human Harvest," published in Madrid as 

 companion volume to "El Imperio invisible," his translation of my "Unseen 

 Empire"; and 



" Kokumin no Kotto," translation into Japanese by I. Nakamura (Stan- 

 ford, '05) of "The Blood of the Nation," published in Tokyo. 



" Krieg und Mannheit," — that is, "War and Manhood," — my address (in 

 German) at Berlin, 1910, was published in Vienna by Dr. Alfred H. Fried, 

 consistent opponent of German militarism, of whom more later, for free dis- 

 tribution in Germany. Its keynote may be found in Franklin's epigram: 

 "Wars are not paid for in war time; the bill comes later." See Vol. II, 

 Chapter xxxvi, pages 299-300, 307-308, etc. 



^ Mr. Stanford's attitude has already been made clear; see Chapter xvii, 

 page 402, and Chapter xx, page 487.
