BY HON. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN.
OF NEBRASKA.

effect of constant use, the speak

the quiet of his auditors.

permitted TO take part in the
commencement exercises Of this
great University founded by
Thomas Jefferson and the pleas

guests to address the students.
In a high and broad sense we

knowledge and to increase our
means of usefulness. | shall not
be able TO clothe mv thoughts in
the graceful language which YOU
have often heard from those who

casions. I am not given time to
think OF nice ways in which TO
say things, ] am kept saying
things so much that ! have TO
content myself with expressing
ideas in such language as may
come to me at the time.
Students are passing through
an important period of life when
preparation is being made for the
work that lies before them.
To some extent we are not able
to mari. out our destiny. We are
born without our volition. We
do not choose our parentage, and

strength, we also come fettered

and | thought what is govern
ment but putting rings in the
noses Of human hogs We eve
all selfish and hoggish. We are
all apt to want more than our
share. In our best moments we
are willing to put rings in our
noses to restrain us from ipjurirg
others. Jefferson said that one
of the duties of government is TO
restrain men from injuring one
another, and | believe there was
never Il time in the history of the
human race when il was more
necessary to enact restraining leg
islation than now. Corporations
are created for the public Pgood
and the people should so control
them as to prevent them from
violating the powers under which
they exist. There should be no
corporation greater than the pow
er that created. Never before was
it as important as it is to-day to
restrain men from injuring one
another. In these days when
corporate wealth is banded to-
gether, you will find special need
for the laws protecting humber
citizens.
Jefferson not only declared
that all men were created equal
but that they were endowed with
inalienable rights rights which
government does not give to take
away, and we shall never reach a
time when these principles will
be sufficient to measure all forms
of government.

was impressed by the epitaph sug-
sested by Jefferson himself.
Mr.. Bryan then pictured Mr..
Jefferson, looking back over his
life of great achievement in for
getfulncss of them and seeing
what he regarded as the three
greatest achievements of his life.
These were the Declaration of
American Independence, which
gave freedom to men: the
statute of religious liberty, which
made man responsible for his life
to God. and the University of
of Virginia, the cap-stone Of the
system devised by Jelleson. and
in "my judgement. the best that
was ever devised by any man.
This system enables the son of
the carpenter to take the honors,
if he can. from the son who in
hersts wealth and fame. 1t teaches
that honor comes from worth not
wealth. that honor comes not from
honor, but from merit. am not
surprised that Jefferson, looking
back over his work, recognized
this system with the University
as its climax. as one of the great
est acts of his life. | believe that
the state university which the
people control is the greatest uni
versity of the future"
In every subject there is an un-
derlying principle. Jefferson
stated the wonderful principles
that underlies our form of gov
erDment, when he said that all
men were created equal, not
equal physically or intellectually.
but equal whenever government
comes in contact with the people :
whenever the law touches them.
If that is true, what follows from
it! If all men are created equal.
no citizen has natural right to
injure any other citizen, and |
may 90 further and say that no
good citizen desires TO injure any
another. fall men are created
equal, it follows as a consequence,
that no government should cna
bic or permit one citizen to in
iure another citizen. This is ap-
plying TO government what Christ
taught when He said. "All We are
brethern. We do not differ so
much in principles as in their ap-
plication, Iou cannot find any

highest will make the greatest
progress, and nothing is more i'm
portant than than that high ideals
and high aims shall be set before
the young men and young women
of our country.
Service is the test of greatness
and he will be remembered long
est who does the most to advance
the interest of mankind. Go to
the monuments that mark the
resting places of the dead, 60 TO
the eulogies of those who have
given time and life to their coun
try and what do you find in
scribed there. Not what they
have received, but what they have
given to the world. 1t is not what
the world gives us that makes us
great but what we bestow upon
Others that makes the impress.
There are some questions which
concern particular professions or
pursuits. and ! would interest
that class if | should especially
address myself to it.
There are three questions that
appeal to all mankind. Holy Writ
furnishes one great question, eff a
man die shall he live again ?" Re
ligion touches us all. 1t makes
great difference on our lives here
whether we think that the grave
is the final end of man or the
door through which he enters in
to larger estate. Social questions
appeal to all. We are born into
society, are surrounded by it all
our lives we receive from it
blessing and owe to it duties. and
anything that concerns society
at large must concern each one
of us as members of that society
Shere is one great end to which
all must look-that is to the
elevation of the level of humanity.
The purpose Of all society is to
make humanity camp on a little
higher ground every generation.
There are other questions which
bind us together-political ques-
tions-not in partisan sense,
but in the sense which politics is
the science of government. There
is not citizen so high or so low
that he should ignore the claims
of the government upon every
citizen who lives in land like
this, where every citizen is a SOW
ereign and no one cares to wear
a crown. Questions of government
we meet at every hand. We can
not be Indifferent to them. The
question is whether the govern
ment shall be good or bad Our
form of government j. the best
form of government ever cOnceiv-
ed by the mind of man, not be,
cause it is perfect in all its details,
but because it permits the people
to have as good a government as
they themselves deserve.

will have a composite photograph
combining the features Of all ihc
class, and so government is a
comsositc of all those who live

it. Unjust taxation is robbery un-
der the law. 1t is grand larceny.
If the government frames it's tax
laws in such way as to overbur-
den some and relieve others of
burdens, the government simply
takes one mans money and gives
it to another. and he who resorts
to law to take his neighbors prop
erty, has all the characteristics of
the highwayman except his cour-
age.
But it may be that the law as
written is just, but that it's en-
forcement is unjust
| whish we could cultivate a
public conscience which would
make the citizen as ashamed to
injure the government and cheat
it out of its just dues as he would
be to cheat his next door neigh
Dor. The mistakes we often make
as legislators is that we heed the
few individuals who are ever
present and neglect the silent
masses, who simply bend their
backs in order to bear a heavier
! load.
The money question will never
be settled until it is settled by
recognition of the principal which
deals justly with every human
being. When it is so solved it
may not be solved my way. We
must all recognize the possibility
of error. But whom it is solved it
may be in compliance with the
principle that the best dollar is
the one whose purchasing power
is steadiest and which always
guarantees to men the fruit of
their labor.
There is no inheritance which
parents can leave to child equal
to ii good government which guar
antees to him the proceeds of his
toll. There is no sentiment so
deep down in the heart as the
sense Of justice The Good Book
tells us that when Joseph re-
ceived his coat of many colors as
an evidence that his father loved
him better than his other sons,
his brethren hated him, and we
know that resentment against fa-
voritism ana partiality is AS great
to-day as when the shepherds
watched their focks at Dorpath.
Ideas revolutionize human So
ciety. One of our g.eat writers
has said, "lt is an epoch in socie
ty when God lets loose a thinker
in the world" Good ideas have
upon them the stamp OF truth.
There is nothing omnipotent but
truth. nothing irresistible but a
good idea.
You may impede it until il gets
enough Of momentum but at last
| it will ride over the person who
gets in It's way,
believe that much of failure
has come to young men from
wrong ideas upon this subject.
Let young men attach thems elves
to great idea. The idea won't

advocate il but you will prosper

Some Timely Suggestions.

Chinese Primroses are probably the
most satisfactory window plants for
amateurs. They are incessant bloom
ers.
The Gala must have a regular sup
DIV of water and thorough drainage,
from the time it begins to grow in the
fall. till it is done blooming at
Easter.
For a quick garden, all in bloom, de-
pend upon the new scarlet Mexican
Ii1v. the white and the yellow Chinese
Lily, planting the bulbs in bowls OF
water.
Princess Bonnie in rich red, Cham
pion of the World in bright pink, and
Isabella Sprunt in canary are reliable
winter blooming Roses. However
beautiful a Rose may be for winter
blooming, it yet must be built that
way,'' else time and attention will be
wasted in trying to coax the blooms.
The keynote to success with winter
blooming plants is to have such varie-
ties as will flourish under one line OF

Spanish Moss.

Of all our native epiphytes this
(Tillandsia usneoides) is the most
abundant in growth. 1t grows freely
from the Dismal Swamp south to the
Gulf coast in all heavily timbered,
low lands. In some respects it is a
wierd feature of vegetation and at
all times quite picturesque.
1t always depends in long, full,
swaying drapery from the spreading
limbs of trees, and no art nor skill
can produce it's growth except upon
trees where it's roots embed them
selves in the bark and the plant feeds
upon the moist air of the swamps.
Some trees especially attract the
Long Grey Moss. Oak, particularly
the Live Oak, will invaribly be heav

It has not been until recent years
that the Moss has been utilized for
decorative purposes. Christmas dec
ora tions now consist of the soft, vel
vety grey Moss woven into varied
forms of decoration, harmonizing adj
mirably with Holly, Mistletoe and
Ivy. Mirror effects are exquisite in
the plant Moss woven in and out,
and softly fringing the Holly and Ivy
reflected in The mirror. And Palms,
Ferns and other decorative pot plants

brought forward for Christmas and
New Year find soft and harmonious
setting, in portierres woven of the
Grey Moss, as a background. It is
lightly twisted into ropes that are
carried from each corner of apart
ments to the chandelier in the center
where Ivy and Holly with Mistletoe
are used.
Notices: 'fMerry Christmas!"
"Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men,"
etc., are made by covering pasteboard
letters with the Moss, and put in
place, the whole framed in with dark
green Ivy and Holly with it's brilliant
scarlet berries, like a picture which is
apparently suspended by cards of the
Grey Moss. It is soft and shadowy
however used, and one of the neat
est forms is a cornice to the curtain
ed window and loopings for the cur
tains at each side. For this latter
purpose it may be tied in large loose
bows with Towering ends.
Few persons know the commercial
value of the Long Grey Moss. Louis
lana alone ships immense quantities,
which have been cured for use in up
holstery. Huge watts all along the
river banks are filled with it to I'M
dergo a sweating process that reduc-
es it from velvety grey to wiry black
fibre. This fibre of the finer grades
is shipped under the name of "veg-
etable hair" and so well does it SIM
ulate horse hair that it requires an
expert to tell the difference.
The immense quantities used for
stery, in no wise lessen the forest
supply. The sessile greenish little
flowers are barely discernible, never
theless they form three-valved pods
that are filled with club-shaped,
hairy stalked seeds by which it
spreads rapidly from tree to tree

Forcing Lily-of- the Valley.

While it is not generally we'll
known that Lily-of- the-Valley may be
forced into bloom during the winter
in the house, yet this is accomplished
with less labor than is required in
forcing Dutch bulbs.
The roots of the Lily-of- Valley,
or pips, as they are called, are import
ed, and arrive in this country early in
November. The imported pips only
should be used for forcing, and after
they have bloomed should be thrown
away, as they are of no value, for it
takes them several years to recover.
AS soon as the pips can be procured
in the fall, plant them out of doors
directly into the ground-"healing
them in," as the nurseryman would
say, which means to cover the roots
we'll with loose soil, planting them in
rows. They should be placed in a
protected location and covered at once
to depth of ten inches with old, well
rotted manure, leaves, litter or hay,
or any substance that will not heat.
Loose, light soil will answer for this
purpose. They should be allowed to
freeze, although it was generally the
supposition among florists some years
ago that the pips were benefited by
freezing, but such is not the case. AL
low them to remain covered for about
five weeks, then dig them up and
plant in boxes or pots about four
inches deep, using either sand or
light soil. In planting them in the
boxes cover the entire root with soil,
excepting the point, or shoot, which
should be allowed to show above the
surface of the SOIL
If the weather is quite mild, the
boxes may be placed outside in
warm location for day or two, then
moved into the house, being careful
that the change of temperature is
quite gradual, until they may in the
course of week be brought to con-
slant and steady heat near a stove,
register or radiator. A warm, humid
atmosphere is most conducive to a
quick growth. In about four weeks
the flowers will appear and will I'M
doubtedly be a constant source of de-
light as long as they last.-Robert r.
McGregor.
