Bryan On Average Man Has Typical Audience. Continued from Page Five.) the common people make it and this country's progress will be measured riot by the refinement and wealth of a few. but by the ideals of the gTeat common people of the land. "Submit to the average man two forms of government and he will take this which gives to the common p'eople the largest control. In the beginning of our national history', e had two great men. two great statesmen and these statesmen differed widely on fundamental principles. We must ex pect differences. Formerly I was ac cused of not having as much respect for harmony as I ought to have. Well, I believe In harmony. If you want ab solute harmony, there is only one way to get It If you have but one per son you may have harmony, provided he votes at once, for he may change his mind in a little while. If there are two in a party, be absolutely sure to have a radical and a conservatists. If you talk to a radical about his party, he will tell you there are abmit 80.000 conservatists who are not willing to make any progress and If you talk Si a conserva tlst he will tell you there are about 80,000 men who do not know what they are doing. When I was in Japan, T saw a Korean lion on one aide of the entrance to the temple. There was another one on the other side. One of thm had his muth open. and the other one had his mouth shut - When I came back home, I i orougni mem witn me, ana have set them both in front of my door. They represent the distance betw"-' tb" positive and the negative. When I go in and out ofmy horn, I am auso lutely sure to walk right in the menter between them. Now we had these two, great statesmen in our beginning, Jefferson and Hamilton. Jefferson said, f Let the people rule." Jeffer son trusted the people, Hamilton did not ' Jefferson said let the people control their representatives; Hamil ton said that to hav a safe government you must protect the representatives. Jefferson said let us have our election often Hamilton said, let's don't have too many elections and lot them be far between. Hamilton proposed a plan of government which Is not a matter of record, and he urged that plan upon the people with all his elo quence. That plan was to let the president serve for life; let the sena tors srve for life and be appointed by the Federal government The people voted that plan down, and It has been growing more unpopular ever since. A permanent president! Why, my friends, the popular sentiment is so against U that 4no president has ever held offics. for more than two terms, and when one president wanted to hold for three terms, the people help ed him to get out of that idea. Our present president has recognized the force of the objection to three terms, and in order that he might not be embarrassed by requests from his office holders to keep them In a little longer, paid the night of the election that he regarded this as his second r term, and would not again be a can didate. This Is the sentiment In this country, and yet Hamilton wanted a permanent president. If any Republican would be willing to have a permanent President let him remember that that was at tempted in Hamilton's plan. It would not work in our day for we would- not have a President Roose velt as Grover Cleveland still lives. "No, I don't like the Hamilton plan and the great common people do not like it. When It comes to elect ing their officers, they don't want the elections too far apart. They do not want an officer to forget that he Is a servant and assume to be the master of the people. How about the Senate. Would you like a llfe-lonir Senator? Why, my friend, our objection now to the Senate Is that Is too much like Hamilton's plan and the most promi nent reform in this country today is the objection to election the Senators other than by a direct vote of the people. Whenever you find a man who is not willing to trust the people, vou may be sure he Is an aristocrat. The man who wants to build up a system between the people and their repre sentative so that the will of the peo ple cannot reach him. is at heart a dangerous man. Still, some under take to build up a system between the representatives and his people. This reminds me of a story that I heard when I wa3 passing through St Louis on my way to college. it was aboutt a peddler. He had a large pack of goods and he went up Into a six-story building to show his wares. He went up to 4he second floor and the floor walker stopped him and sent him up to the third floor. Ten he started to open up his pack on that floor and the floor walker sent him up to the fourth story. He started to open up his pack and the floor walker sent him up to the fifth story. When he got up there the floor walker sent him up to the sixth story. The floor walker sent him down the stairs with a kick and he and his pack filnally landed out in the street He got up and said 'Oh, my. what sys tem they have !n this building' 'My friendsv the average man be lieves In a democracy. I recoe-nlste that when you talk to the people j-bout the word republic we like to hear It. This is true with some of the people in Europe. I never knew until a few years ago what the average man thought of the word. This reminds me of a convention held in innesota In which there was a , Swede. A Republican read from the constitution about the representative form of government and he accused the Democrats of being In violation of the constitution. Three and one half year .a ago I was In. France. I went out In the country to see a French peasant. I asked him several questions and he answered them. He asked the interpreter, as I was ready to leave, and he told him I had come over to cet them from where he had been under a representative govern ment. He said if he had known that he would have talked with me more, for he wanted to know what he meant by a representative government. But the worst Illustration i3 yet to be glveu A man called my aten tlon abouT three years ago to a New York newspaper. It contained the ketch -of the life of an Italian who came here poor, but who, by thrift and Industry, had accumulated prop erty. They were in a meeting and the speaker said the Republicans were In favo.- of a represntatlv form of .government but the Democrats were In favor of an Irishman by the name of Bryan for king. I call your at tention, to this' illustration to show you how the word "representative" is rais-uscd. .; - i But my friends, the average man Is not only Interested in the orm of the government but he Is Interested In problems that come before the peo ple. For instance, take this doctrine 4 A 4nm 3 of States rights. Some of the Dem ocrats, I fear, have some doubts about the State's rights. I want to tell you that this doctrine of States rights, the right of the Sate to atend o its own business, is no a sectional question. We believe In it in the north, and we believe in It in the South. I con gratulate you that when the ques tion was raised in North Carolina, you harl a governor who wojjld stand back of him and take their FIVE. . . .6 6 6 . .6. .6. . defend the rights of this State and that you stood back of him In what he. did. No officer can do his duty in such cases, unless the common people share of the responsibility that rest on him. "President Roosevelt has done sev eral good things: but my friends he is mistaken if he thinks he can get the common people to endorse his ideas of a national corporation to control the railroads' which would give to the Federal courts exclusive control of these trteries of trade. When that question is presented to the people, I believe they will take a deeper In terest in it. Federal remedies must be consistent with State rights; not substituted for them. We will not transfer our power to Washington and be at the mercy of the Federal courts until it can free itself from the domi nation of railroad lobbyists who for the last 25 years have had possession of the national capital. Now, for me to take up all of the questions that are before the counthy, 1 would have to trespass upon your time and my strength, but I want to give you Just a word of encouragement. Governor Glenn has stated that the President has been using some of my Ideals. It gives me a great deal of pleasure to know that he has come to rejeard my plans as good ones. I have no In ventive ideas, I have simple adopted ideas. The ideas that I have been understood ever since I was born and will live long after I am dead. lam glad to know that the president is fol lowing some of the planks in our plat form. Out platform was. made for use. and until we get a chance to use it, I am glad to have anybody to use it who will. My friends I remember a story told of old Peter Cartw right. Some one asked him if ha was sancti fied. He said "Yes. I'm sanctified in spots." If any one would ask me if the President is a Democrat. I would say "Yes, in spots." I wish the soots were more numerous. When ever he has done rijcht he has been Democratic; whatever he has done wrong he had done undemocratic. "What a great change there has been in the Democratic party In the last eleven years. Do you wonder that I smile. Do you wonder that I wear the smile that won't come oni I am Klad that I have lived to see po many of the things In our platform used in a decade. When I say there has been improvement In the plat form on what I ran, I am glad to see It and to see that it is being used by our opponents. There was only one important plank In our platform that T wrote. That was adopted by the committee when I was out and they dldn't'know that I wrote it when they adopted it. I happened to get with the man who wrote the platform two weeks before and I wrote out and handed him this plank which I have j mentioned. At the end of two or three 1 years I could look back at that j splendid platform adopted at Chicago and the one adopted in Nebraska. ! This seems a little coincident. It was i not because I was to resent it or to urge It. jl ne rseoraska meeting was but a culmination of the meeting In Chicago. Nebraska presented a plat form that was absolutely democratic throughout and my friends whenever you take up any of the great re forms, you will find that the Demo crats have led the way. When the people come to consider the various questions before the country, they cannot find a better statement of their mature judgment than Is to be found in tho Democratic platform "I remember the Ftory of the farm er who was laboring so earnestly to get In his hay. The clouds looked like rain. He got his load on his wa gon and started for his barn. He ran Into a rut and his load fell off. He put the hay on the wagon again and L aa 7L B ai dd oh Pure and good; perfectly blended and roasted; packed In air-tight, easily opened cans.

His good wife seeing that some thing was happening out at thie barn, ran out and asked him what was the trouble, that he and the hay were both getting wet. He sajd, Sarah, Sarah, go back, go back. I am about to ex press myself. I believe the common people are about to express them selves. Take the question of railroad regulation, while I believe in the plat form of 1896, and in the platform of 1900, and in the platform of 1904, I think the president has about come to the point when he must express) himself. His f-eiiroad bill went through the House and was voted upon by both Democrats and Repub licans. It went to the Senate and not a man in the Republican party would take it up for discussion. They had to ask a South Carolinian, they had to get Ben Tillman to take charge of the bill in the Senate. "My friends, the people have come to distinguish between the natural man and the corporate man and the time has come when the natural man. created by the Almighty and placed on God's footstool shall be protected from the persons created by law that have assumed rights greater than those God gave to man and my friends this distinction between the natural man and ttee corporate man must be seen both In the State and In the nation. I am glad that in your State you have a Judge, whose career I have watched, your Honorable Judge Clark, who sees the distinction between the God man and the cor porate man that menaces the nation's welfare. "My friends, in the labor question, the president is coming over to our views. He has adopted arbitration. He Is ready to resort to injunction. Judging from hi last ..message when he said that something must be done It is like the fellow that had a pass to the theatre. The play was very bad and the audience hissed and hooted, but he .at still. Finally, one of the audience went to him and asked,, hi mwhat he thought of tho play and why he didn't Join with them in the hissing. You don't like this play do you ?. He said, 'No.' I don't like it any better than von .In hur I am here on a pass and I think I will I go out and pay for a ticket and then Iwiil come In and join you. i So I think the president is In the mme fix. "And on the tariff question. Well, my friends, when I strike the tariff, I feel like I have met an old friend. I have been talking tariff twenty seven years this summer and the older I have grown the more, con vinced.! have been that there is no protection aagin?t the high tariff that we have today under the present con ditions. I have watched their iargu ments for tariff. : Today they cari't de fend the tariff, thev simply say it must be reformed. Secretary Taft says it must not be reformed untlli after! the election. Well, th ere are 1nt twn ways to reform the tariff, one 1$ just ?iore me election, and the other is after the election They can't do ' hrfore th- .!.("(. t m . i( - in ,ntf" ' re with victory, nni ihcv im't Jo ' after an election hn;..:-.v It lv""1 repuitate would repudiate H vi r.v, vou see the promises o rfvrm iro f.r no thing when you hoar Menu oilcans talking abnut reform of th- a-'!t svs- a rri t . itriu. mis remin.J? ine of a Plory I .1 . id y 1 neara m Mlssis1rol Mi; .rood; w et iVi trA "i i-. ;... i them to me.

He said he couldn't stand for. it and my friend asks him what 4oes she do with all the money. He said VI- don't gin her any.' 1 am afralil-'our tariff re form by the Republicans will be this way. They will always be talking about it, but will nevfer give us any reform. This reminds me I also of a little boy on arithmetic 'class. The teacher asked him if fhis father gave his mother $1 one dy; $2 the next day and S the next dky. .what would she have? He said, fOh, my ( ma would have a fit ' Tey continue to promise, but do not perform. It con tinues to cloud up buf it does, not rain, some one's remark expresses It Their promises of tariff reform sounds like a young fellow who went on the stage. Soon afterwards, , She came back and one of his friends asked him if he made a hit 'Well, j he said, 'that depends on what kind of a hit you mean.' His frient said, 'well,' X mean did they call on you between the curtain 'Welt hejsaidl. they did one time, and a fellow in the audience dared me to come out oh i the stage again.' We. never expect to have the tariff reformed by 'the- Republi cans. They say they fare going to lower the tariff on woolen goods. A manufacturer comes upt and says, no, you can't reduce the tariff on these goods. Then they say they will re duce the tariff on shoes and a shoe manufacturer comes up and says, no you can't reduce the tariff on shoes and he brings up the company's rec ords and shows how much the com pany contributed to the : campaign fund. And now they ; have allowed some to have special privileges in the fortunes they should! accumulate. Think of It the Idea of limiting for tunes. 1 I .. "Senator Beveridge made a speech in Indiana not long ag4 Ih which heJ declared that it mights be necessary to limit Individual vforfuhes, but he placed the limit at $1004)00.000. much more than the most of us will ever accumulate. Do you 1 know what $100,000,000. means? The president Is paid a salary of $50,000! al year and I think it is worth this . much. He would have to serve ten yqars to make $500,000. He would have to serve twenty years to make $i;000,000 or he would have to serve lOOittmes twenty years to make $100,000000. A rail road president sometime makes $100,000 a year. He would have to serve fifty years to malse $5,000,000. or he would have to have twenty lives to ,,ve lon enough to make It $100.- uuu.uuu. ret there is.: one man who in- a lifetime has been able to accu mulate a fortune estimated at more than $500,000,000. That means that his income is Enough to pay 100,000 school ; teachers who earn ordinary salaries. These teachers are making q'ur ; children. THREE THREE I I THREE often at a sacrifice. They help to form that character upon which we must depend In our declining years. No man has secured $100,000.00(1 In his life time honestly.

No amount of money could measure the worth of his services! to the coun try, yet he died a poor rnart.; Impover ished by the visits of his friends who came to tell him how much-they loved him. The President hasi: called atten tion to the ethics of money-making and nothing remains for tithe common people but to accept the ! remedy. What Is this remedy? it is a plain proposition.

Chicago. Oct 117.- Until three rneB.i who are locked In a room assiduously, counting proxies, are able to report' to the stockholders of the Illinois Cen-i tral there will be no election of direc- tors. Twice today the" stockholders! assembled, only to. be told that the 1 proxy Inspectors were not prepared to : report The final adjournment was taken shortly after $ o'clock In the afternoon, and carried the meeting until 12 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. While the meeting was waiting for: some further word from the commit- ( tee. In order to determine the time to; which the adjournment should beJ taken, Mr.' Harrman picked up his chair, and carrying it to the end of the press table, sat down with the re-1 mark: "I think you gentlemen can' do more to settle this railroad sltua-1 tion than anybody else." When ask-1 ed for an explanation, he said: Ton can do it by reusing to print one side: of a proposition until you have seen' the man on the other side, and let l him have his say at the same time; I am sick, and most other men also are j sick of the continued attacks made on the railroads. When charges are' made against a railroad the proper thing to do Is to refrain from pub lishing them until the party bringing their charge and the representatives ' of the press are present As such things are now run the charges . are printed in the papers and the public receives wrong" impression; because the-railroad side of the question is not given at the same time. It is the " first impression that counts. - Before It was definitely anno-unced " that the proxy committee would not be able to report the attorneys on both sides were somewhat startled bv the suggestion that the transfer books of the company were open. When the stockholders-meeting was origi nally called. It was not then thought that it would last over one day, and the announcement was made that the books; would be open again October: 17. After a hasty conference it was decided ' that there was no way In which the books could be closed to- day. and it was. therefore, decided that they should be allowed to remain open until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when they were again closed until next Tuesday at 11 a. m. It was agreed, between the attorneys, that no effort should be made on either side to pur chase stock during the day. -.' The general situation remains un changed, both sides saying- they ex pect to control the meeting and, both hunting for proxies or for the. revo cation of proxies previously given.
