With an enthusiastic crowd tonight to
hear Col. VIM. ]. Bryan. Mr. Bryan
On being introduced was cheered to the
echo. His address covered old ground
on the subject OF income tax and the
currency.
Taking up the subject Of expansion
Mr.. Bryan said:
A large standing army is burden to
taxpayers and a menace to the repub-
lie. This nation can depend upon It's
volunteers. They can defend it in the
hour OF danger. (vociferous cheer
ing).
What has happened to make more
soldiers necessary? Nothing but Re-
publican administration. The Presi-
dent says our occupation OF Cuba is
temporary. There is no trouble in
Porto Rico. Seventy thousand SOL
diers are wanted to carry the benign
blessings of freedom to 100000 of
Filipinos. Who will pay the cost? If
the Filipinos, they must be taxed four
times as high as Spain taxed them.
II we pay it, ask a gold man to show
you how it will get back to the tax
payers. Common people furnish SOL
diers and syndicates get the money
paid for war. / don't want single
soul to be brought Under the American
nag unless he can share in every bless
ing Of this government. (Applause.)
Shall we call our Chief Executive
President OF the United States and En-
peror Of the Philippines? Government
BY one man backed by force is despot-
ism. People who are opposed to TAX
ing the Philippines plead not for the
Filipinos, but for the American people
lest they mav. by becoming accustomed
to despotism be prepared to yield to
despots T-Oppose Christianity fired
out Of a gatling gun. The man who is
hit does not need the gospel. Does the
laboring man want Oriental labor to
compete with him? Every nation in
Europe wants us guilty OF conquest.
II we are to become an empire let us
send Barthodi's statue back to France
and go to England and borrow statue
OF William the Conqueror. Let us
treat the Filipinos as we would the
Cubans and we will erect in the harbor
Of Manila a new statue of liberty in

Baby Safe Under a Flying Train.

COLUMBUS, o, May 9.-The train

No. 81 had thrilling experience, at
Prout's station, on the Lake Erie di-
vision, near Newark, O., last evening,
in which baby. figured.
The train was running south from
Sandusky at the rate Of twenty miles
an hour. Mike Cosgrove being at the
throttle and John Thornton conductor
in charge. When near Proet's Cos
grove noticed a little child playing in
the middle Of the track not more than
fifty yards in front Of the train.
He blew the whistle and applied the
air brake, but he knew there was no
hope Of stopping the train before
striking the child. The little fellow
paid no attention to the warning whis-
tie, and the engineer and fireman shut
their eyes as the engine struck him.
When the train was stopped some dis
tance beyond Cosgrove went back to
pick up the child's remains. He and
the crew could hardly believe their
eyes when they saw the two-year-old
baby sitting in the cer.cr Of the track
wholly unharmed save for Two little
cuts, one on the forehead and the
other on the back Of the head.
Engineer Cosgrove recognized the
child as that Of John Ponka. He
picked it up and hurried to'the Ponka
residence near by, and when the child
was restored to its mothers arms and
Mrs. Ponka learned Of his'1narvelous
escape from death, she tainted. This
modern miracle was the absorbing
topic for conversation here to-day.

the poor and no faint of poison is left

They are what is left Of the old-time
southern women, and I have the hope
yet that they may so leaven the world
as to make the family what it used to
be, and save the church and the
preacher from the doom that is pend

All Of my education has been to

I have always thought that a priest
ridden people were the most cursed
Of any. Ihave lived to conclude that
a ssociety-ridden people" is the worst
curse that vas ever put upon the hui
man family. The priests do have the
method Of preserving the family ties
and magnifying the church. The
sssisms will tear down everything that
is sacred. The priests have women.

give up the world-give up fashion
and receive training that fits them
FOR the delicate work at their hands,,
and they, too, magnify their church
and hold to the sanctity Of the family.
ties. Their church is not my church,
but I honor them for the devotion Of
their work and the wisdom Of their
methods.
But no matter what may be the fate
of the preacher in the distance, he is
all right for the present in this neck
Of the woods. Chickens are ripening
for his tooth, and the best Of every
thing will be dished out to him when
he comes. Despite all that [ have

that they live in many heart that

who has notreverence for good preach

and the devil, is my prayer.
But IT is fishing time and springtime,
