William J. Bryan to Cornell students at ithaca

Rochester, y. Y, Oct. 19.-William ]. Bryan,
under the inquiries of Cornell University stu
dents to-day announced frankly at Ithaca that
he had not changed his opinion that silver
should be admitted to free coinage at a ratio o.
16 TO !. College students seem to have the art
of wrestling from Mr.. Bryan those secrets Of his
political heart which he especially desires to
keep hidden, for it the students of Michigan
University, at Ann Arbor. who recently extorted
from him another admission of his devotion to
the cause of the silver mine owners. His declara-
tion at Ann Arbor was: Il am for the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver without the aid or
consent Of any other nation"
His similar declaration at Ithaca to-day is
given above. Nj. Bryan followed up his coinage
statement at Ithaca with an attack upon the
Gold Currency act, and thus indicated beyond
doubt his intention to his influence if elected
President TO change that shield of the gold
standard Mr.. Bryan had arrived at Ithaca
after making an address OF considerable length
at Auburn in which he had not touched the cur

large body of students Of Cornell University.
some Of whom belong to the Bryan and Steven
son Club Of the University. while the others are
members Of the Mckinley and Roosevelt Club.

the throng upon the platform was Professor

1T is n noteworthy fact that this Fifty
sixth Congress has made itself famous
for two exhibitions of moral stamina.
In the one case it was to refuse a seat in
the House of Representatives TO Polyg-
amist and in the other it was to report
unfavorably in the case Of rich Sena-
tor charged with having obtained his
seat by brides and corruption. In the
question of morals versus money, the
case was decided spontaneously and UNI
hampered by petitions for morality and
political purity. \ better time is com
ing in national affairs when money
ceases to be the important factor and
when a man rich enough to buy the
whole United States government bows
at the tribunal Of justice, Invested OF
mere money influence, to stand or fall
upon his record. The world, as it cease
lessly notes the action Of the great, com
mends and applauds the high moral
tone of the present Legislative and exc
cutive body at Washington.

The "SeeaIe's Eye"

A lady writes to me and asks what
is really meant by the needles eye"
in the parable of the rich man. re-
member reading somewhere that 1t was
the smallest gate that gave entrance
to the walled city of Jerusalem and
that loaded camel had TO be stripped
of its burden and bend its knees to
squeeze through. And so a rich man
had to give up his riches and come
to his knees before he could enter
heaven. 1t was just one Of the thou
sand proverbs that adorned the moral
teachings of the Jews and the eastern
nations. The writings Of Job and Solo
mon and Confuclus and Mohammed
abound In them.
In the Koran is found this proverb,
",rhe implous man will find the gates
Of heaven shut. and he can no more en-
ter than q camel can pass through
needles eye" There is another in
the Koran which says, "You viii never
see palm tree OF gold nor an elephant
pass through a needles eye" These
proverbs simply meant that it was Inn
possible. Strange to say, the world
has long since quit making proverbs.
All proverbs have come down to us,
even such as "a rolling stone gathers
no moss" "Poor Richard" left us a
few, such as "a penny saved is two
pence gained."-Bill Arp In Atlanta
