BRYAN MAKES A SECOND ADDRESS
Avenue Theater Crowded to Hear
the Silver Man.

At the meeting in the Avenue theater
in Pittsburg Mr.. Bryan was introduced
by Joseph HolIey, chairman of the demo-
cratic county central committee Mr..
Bryan was received with applause, and
said:
''I do not consider the enthusiasm which
has been manifested all along the road
has aught in it of personal nature. 1t
simply proves the respect which people
feel for those who stand in positions of
authority, or who stand before the people
as candidates for those POSITIONS
After referring to the spirit with which
Americans enter into their political cam
paigns. he added: I'VE are entering upon
a campaign which will exceed in interest
any campaign through which we have
passed. l see before me the faces of
young men, young men who, like myself,
have grown up since the war. We have
been fighting these war questions, and
too often the bitterness of a quarter OF
century has fingered to cloud our judg-
ment and to darKen our understanding.
But we have reached a new era. We
| have come upon a period when all war
questions are settled, and when the land
where the people come face to face with
great industrial problems. Every eco
nomic question is at last moral ques-
ton, a question of right and wrong, and
no question has ever been settled unless
it had been settled upon the basis of what
/ is right.
Thomas jefferson never said truer
thing than when he said that the art Of
government is the art Of being honest,
and that to discern right from wrong re-
quired not the help of many counsellors.
He VS. right. The great principles of
right and wrong are easily observed, and
that is why the people are competent
to settle every question that can arise
in a government like ours. And when
1 find people who say that this Is a great
question, a complicated question, as they
say the money question Is, I find that

tory. and when l say it, do not say H.
my friends, to criticise the man VINO %
Iieves that this nation is not great enough
n legislate for its own people. lie pc
Iieves it honestly. and l recall your At
tan+ion to the fact that in the struggles
of our forefathers for liberty there were
those who honestly believed that we
ought to continue in this land the poliu-
col sunnort of Great Britain. In TINS
they were but mistaken, and if you go to
the cemeteries you will find no monu-
ments reared by grateful people 10
commemorate the names Of those who
thought English domination should con-
tinue.
There are people today who believe
that this nation is not strong enough to
legislate for our people, and there are
those who believe that an attempt to DO so
would bring distress and many evils. We
may respect their honesty, but must we
enter into a life and death struggle with
them because we assert here that the
financial domination by foreign power
is as dangerous to the liberties OF the
people as political domination. (Cheers)
But l must not talk. (Cries of Go on. }
Il desire to thank you for the interest
you have shown in the very beginning OF
this campaign. l have no fear that your
interest will be allowed to die, not bit.
When l see person who says ii will be
too deep for the people, / find some one
who says it is just about deep enough
for him. No question is too deep for the
American people, and 100000 people
know the meaning, and as a great jury
must finally decide, and they alone can
decide every public question. l read the
other day a little pamphlet sent out by
some of the advocates of the gold stan
dard, who call themselves advocates of
sound money, and it contains this para
graph, that the financiers and capital
lists are the only people who are compe-
tent to express an opinion on the sub
ject.'
THE first appearance was in an arti-
Gle in the Forum, written by distin-
guished Frenchman, and was then repro
duced and scattered over the country as
literature by the advocates OF the gold
standard and therefore we must suppose
that it expresses their ideas, that only
capitalists and financiers are competent
to express an opinion upon this subject.
And they are not slow to express and
condemn the intelligence and patriotism
of all the rest of the people, whom they
exclude from participation in a settle
ment of this question. Great applause.)
My friends, it is the principle of a broad
democracy that these questions must be
settled by the common people, and that
this government has never created par
ticular class to legislate for others

are too well known as Masons and men to
permit of such suspicion as that insinu-
ated. A superintendent they employed
some years ago got to drinking and used a
few hundred dollars that belonged to the
association. but there is great difference
between a trivial peculation of that kind
and discrepancy of $4,000"
Secretary Hobe OF the cemetery associa-
tion said he would treat the whole matter
with silent contempt, but he warmed up to
the subject finally and said that if the
charges made were not so palpably unjust
they would be comical. Why" he said

the whole thing with silent contempt"
a. L. Davis, president of the associa-
ton, showed the improbability of the
story by referring to the constitutional
provision that no moneys can be drawn
from the treasury unless the warrant con-
tanned six signatures.
Mr.. Countryman, who was quoted as
authority by the morning paper, called
attention to a legislative enactment pro-
viding that the association could not have
more than $4,000 in the fund created for
| the care of the graves, and that the surplus
might be paid to the relief board. He
wanted to know how that surplus had
! been disposed of. He had nothing to offer
| in confirmation of the charge that the
| alleged peculationS amounted to several
| thousand dollars.
The other Masons questioned on the
| subject who did not laugh at the story OF
half million in fraudulent appropria-
tions dismissed the subject with laugh.

According to that sensational narrative
the cemetery association has lent itself
during the last five or six years to well
guarded scheme of peculation. Thou
sands upon thousands of dollars have dis
appeared from the funds of the associa-
tion, If the writer of the article referred to
is to be credited and the members of the
order have slumbered while all this was
going on.
In one instance a man named Gay, so it
is set forth with suggestive establishment,
got away with $4,000. He was superin-
tendent. His tenure OF Office extended
over a period of fifteen years. According
to Attorney Countryman, who is quoted
by the morning papers ss its informant,
Gay managed to take nearly S50,0 900 under
the eyes of the trustees and without
making use of six signatures to every
warrant drawn on the treasury.
at is natural we should laugh at such
an absurd story" remarked q prominent
Mason Yesterday. at is the outcome of
an inquiry made by Oriental Lodge in
connection with its request that its contri-
button to the cemetery fund be reduced
from $40 a year to a smaller amount.
When it was found that the ASSOCIATE on
had $50, 600 on hand they wondered and
wanted to know how so and 'wherefor'."
Grand Master Pierson and Grand Secre-
tary Johnson smiled broadly when their
attention was called to the story and
pointed out the absurdity of the supposi-
tion that the order through the cemetery
association, composed OF some OF the old
est and most honorable Masons in the
State, could be robbed of several hundred
thousand dollars.
Said Grand Secretary Johnson: "It is
too ridiculous to be discussed seriously.

distinguishing traits of the people of the
United States, and they never fail to cele-
brate the anniversary of the day upon
which they proclaimed their independ-

country. who are banded under the banner
of Den Norske Forening, society essen

done by any other national celebration
this year, and they will begin the festivi-

The story of Norway's battle for liberty
will be told over and over again in prose
and poesy, and the little sons and daugh.
ters of the Norwegians on this coast will
listen to the tale as recited to them in the

1t dates back as far as the ninth century
when many of the most prominent men
of Norway. tired of Danish supremacy.
left their homes and founded a colony in
Iceland. To these men is due the most
complete part of the history of Northern
Europe. In 1914, after having for centu-
ries been under rule of Danish King.
Norway decided TO cast aside the yoke.
Denmark was at war with England and
Sweden. Sweden had Just lost FinnIand
and at the conference at Kiel the European
powers agreed that Norway should be
freed from Danish control and pass under
the protection of Sweden.
This was only change of masters, one
as Objectionable as the other, and the Nor
wegians on May IL, 1914, took decisive
stand, repudiating the action of the con-
