W. ]. BRYAN SPEAKS.
"All Men Are Equal Was the Theme OF
His Address At MOnteage.

MONTEAGLE, Tenn, July 4 -
VIM. J Bryan lectured in the new
amphitheater at $50 p. N. tooday.
Gov, McMillin, as an Introductory
read the Declaration of Indepen-
dence and then introduced the
orator of the day.
Mr.. Bryan said the Gov. saw in
him the embodiment of his own
principles and beliefs and was real,
ly praIsing what he loyed when he
coWplimented him. He took for
his theme "That All Men Are E.
quail" and said If the Declaration
of the independence could be read
every Fourth of July the country
would be In nc danger, There are
two theories of government, by
force and by consent of the gov
erned. The first is the oldest, the
second has lived the longest. Love
OF liberty was planted in mans
heart at the creation. All men
have an equal claim on govern,
ment for justice and protection,
the ignorant and poor needing a
larger share than the rich and
educated, Selfshness, he said,
was natural and ought not to be
eliminated, for it is the foundation
for selI-preservation, but men
should be taught not to impose on
each other. The Ten Command
ments still cover all the range of
human duties and needs,
Speaking of unjust laws and
taxation he said the amount of
larceny by law far exceeds the a,
mount stolen by criminals. He
upheld the income tax, giving an
illustration of its practical works
ings.
Touching the money question,
he said, on one point all will agree
have the dollar as honest as posi-
l
BILE. A dollar above par is as dis.
honest as one below.
He spoke scathingly Of monopo-
lies and trusts and saiG Congress
only could deal with them. State
laws suppressed them in one State
only, leaving the other forty'ioul
open to them.
Of expansion and Imperialism
he said: "Let us expand our limits
wherever we can find lands or peo'
pie to erect into States, but do not
force in people who do not want tC
come in, God never made a peo.
pie SO good that they could govern
arbitrarialy another people. I want
all men to love our flag not fear it
to look up to it not bow dowr
beneath it,"
The speaker closed with an elo
quent and lengthy expression O
hope that our nation wilt become
great through peace and justice
be an example to the world anC
an arbiter among other nations.

Railroad From Chattanooga
to Nashville on an
Air Line.
DETROIT MEN BEHIND IT.
Will Use Power From Caney
Fork Falls and Garry
Passengers and Freight.

Chattanooga, July A move
ment is on foot to build an electric
railroad from. Chattanooga to Nash.
vile by an air line, to do a general
freight and passenger business. Back
of the movement are number Of
wealthy Northern capitalists, These
gentlemen have investigated the pro-
iect and have decided that it is feas-
ible, and it is reported directly from
one of the interested parties in De-
troit, who states that he expects the
project 10 be undertaken at once.
1t is proposed to utilize the power
Of the Caney Fork Falls in operating
this road, if it is built. The propos-
ed Jute would penetrate a rich tim
Der and mineral section Of the
State.
In response to telegram from the
Chattanooga Times, the following de-
tails of the project were received
from Detroit tonight:
"The Detroiters interested in the
proposition to build an electric line
from Chattanooga to Nashville are
those who recently formed the Cum
berland Coal & Lumber Company.
Frank B. Trout, one of that compa-
ny, was recently in Tennessee look
ing over the property of that con-
cern, which he says includes 5000
acres of land, with coal and timber.
While he was in Tennessee Mr..
Trout Investigated the power re-
sources of Caney Fork Falls, with
the result that he at once secured ar
option on it for electric railway pur-
poses. He will use that power for a
short railway he proposes building
from the mines to McMinnville. He
is now figuring with Cleveland and
Pittsburg capitalists to construct an
electric suburban railway from Nash
vile to Chattanooga by a direct
route, for the purpose doing a
freight and passenger business.
"I don't care if we never carry a
passenger said Mr.. Trout to-day.
IF we run trains of cars at the TOP
speed every day for thousand years
there would still be hundreds of tons
of freight to be hauled out of thai
country. Lack OF transportation ia.
cilities is keeping that part of the
country behind. / am in commune
cation with interested parties now
and expect the road viii be under
taken at once.'"

Loyalty to your town is one Of the first
essentials to it's success. Don't live in
your own town and not be OF it. Believe
in its future, work for it, talk. for it.
pstronize the industries represented
there-how else do you expect them to
exist. and you will find recompenss in
the certainty Of ultim hte reward. The
doctrine Ct reciprocity applies with
equal force to municipal aud national
affairs. Your merchant. who 10 taxed to
sustain your city government. is far
more worthy Of your patronage than is
the department store man in some dis
tant city whose interest in your welfare
may be measured by the dollar mark.
There ;s Eo economy in sending abroad
for goods which can be purchased in
your home town at a slightly increased
cost The man who does that sort Of
thing is shortsighted. The practical.
loyal union man asks for union sde

amount of timber is paid for at the

that the cruisers estimates NAV be
