is now in plain sight. The brag and

Bryan Answers WorthingtOn.
From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal
Bishop Worthington, of Omaha,
Neb. was in this city last week,
attending the meeting of the House of
Bishops of the Episcopal church. On
Thursday, while discussing the political
situation, he said:
The trouble with the farmer, in my
Judgment, is that we have carried our
free educational system entirely too far
OF course | know that this view will be
considered as bit of heresy, but still |
believe it.
have absolutely no ability to rise, get taste OF
education and follow it up. They will never
amount to anything-that IN, many Of them-aRd
they become dissatisfied to follow in the walk of
life that God intended they should, and drift into
the cities. 1t Is the Over-educatfOn OF those who
are not qualified to receive 1t that fills cities
while the farms lie idle.
Then the girls, instead of remaining
at the farm and learning to churn and
milk and fitting themselves to become
good housewives and rear family, as
God intended they should, get a
smattering of French, learn to play the
piano-no particular genius for music,
but they learn to play-drift to the
cities and go into the millinery and
other stores.
Candidate William J. Bryan, while
speaking at the fair grounds at Mon
mouth, ILL.,. quoted Bishop Worthing-
ton s statement about the over
education of farmers sons, and made
this reply:
l hope that it may prove that these
words were not uttered by Bishop
Worthington, because | hate to think
that any man who has the love of God
in his heart ever used words like those
that l have read.
sons and to attribute the difficulties which
surround us today to oyer-education is, In my
mind one of the most cruel things that man
ever uttered. MY friends, do you know what that
language mesnsf Ii means reversal Of the
proofs of civilization and a march toward the
dark ages again.
Are we to select commission to go
around and pick out the ones that are to
be educated2 All, my friends, there is
another reason why the people have
gone into the cities and left the farms.
1t is because your Legislation has been
causing the foreclosure of mortgages on
the farmers and the farms. 1t is
because the non producing classes have
been framing the laws and making it
more profitable to gamble in the farm
products than it is to produce them.
