SPEAKS At MARYsvILLE.
Bryan Discusses Two Theories Of
Government.

Marysville, Kan, Aug. pat Marys-
vile Mr.. Bryan spoke to an excep-
tionally large audience, and he was
most enthusiastically received. His
speech covered the general range of
public questions, but devoted much at
tention to imperialism, covering The
points made familiar by his recent ad-
dresses. He said in part:
In this campaign we are brought
face 70 face with two theories of gov
eminent. One is the American theory.
the other is the European theory. The
American theory is set forth in the
Declaration Of Independence. 1t reads
that the government derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned. 1t is either true or it is false
If il is false, we have been false to
the world for a century and a quarter.
but l believe ii is true, and l believe L
with every drop of blood in my body.
That is the American idea. and until
three years ago no man ever stood be
fore an audience and disputed that
theory.
Today men dispute it. The European
theory is that a government is thir-
teen inches in diameter. round in shape
and fired out of a cannon You have
got to choose between those two def
nitions
Your Republican leaders, instead OF
daring 10 defend that European defini-
ton of government, tell you that the
question of imperialism does not
amount to much, and that the only
question is whether he will have a gold
standard or not.
Silver Question Is Alive.
For four years they said that the
silver question was dead, but now they
find it alive. They have been burying
1t, and when you ask them to discuss
Imperialism they tell you that they
haven't time, nut that the old corpse
has come up again and they have got
to settle it again.
Why is it that they don't want to
discuss imperialism Because they
cannot shake the belief of our people
in self-evident truths. The Republican
platform says that the Republicans. if
elected. viii give the FiIipinos a good
government, and as large a measure OF
self-government as it is consistent
with the welfare of our duty. 1 de-
nounce that plank in the Republican
platform as reproduction of the doc
tripe Of King George III. That is what

Go back through history and you

an hour and a half. When the boys be-

appearance. Charley White, the chosen

Patrols ON Russian Railroads..

The Transsiberian railroad is very
closely guarded, the management feel
ing personally responsible for the peo
pie they carry on their trains. The
road is divided into sections of one
verst, or ive-eighths of a mile In q
neat little log house, usually in a gar
den, live the guard and his people. The
average family is wife and five tow
headed children. The houses were
built by the company and evidently
with a view to meeting the demands
Of increasing families. The guard or
member Of his family must patrol his
section night and day. He steps to the
side Of the track as the train ap-
proaches and after it has passed steps
back into the middle of the track, holds
small green flag in the air, at night a
lantern, and stands like a statue until
the train has entered the next section
Several guards do duty in the heavy
curves, and frequently they are only a
few hundred feet apart.
Much Of the track patrolling is done
by women, who have proved fully as
reliable as the men. The women are
nearly always barefooted, and as they
stand on the track holding the flag
aloft, Siberian breeze toying with
their short skirts, they are fine sub
jects for sculptor after unique mod

Seeing and Knowing.

An eminent lord chief justice who
was trying a right of way case had be-
fore him a witness, an old farmer, who
was proceeding to tell the jury that he
had "knowed the path for GO year, and

Granddaughter say
'Stop! cried the judge. I'VE can't
have any hearsay evidence here
'Noiv' exclaimed Farmer Giles,
''Then how dost know who thy feyther
was, 'cept by hearsay?'
After the laughter had subsidized the
judge said, I'm courts of law we can
only be guided by what you have seen

less.''
''Oh, that be blowed for a tale!' re-
piled the farmer. II ha' got bile on
the back Of my neck, and never seed

the witness set in a torrent Of hearsay
