No Surrender" Is the Battle Cry
of Former Democratic Presi-
Dental Candidate.
OLD PLATFORM Is. SOUND.
Kansas City Principles Ought to Be En-
dorsad-Speaks at Banquet in
Lincoln, Neb.
NO EFFORT TO CLOSE UP BREACH.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 19.-"No Sur
rendern' is the battle cry of William
Jennings Bryan and his free silver
friends, rs developed at the dollar din
ner" in his honor here last night, which
was attended by 700 Democrats. Few
gold advocates were present, as the in
tlmatlon had gone out that those who
deserted Bryan four and eight years ago
would be unwelcome. If there was any
desire to heal the breach between the
two factions the banquet failed to serve
the purpose.
Mr.. Bryan said the old Kansas City
platform is sound and should be re-
affirmed. Mr., Bryan said in part:
Shall we accept Imperialism rs an accom-
plished fact In order to appease those who
are willing to indorse government with
can be no thought of such a surrender for
who would trust us to deal with other
questions If we prove false to the funda-
mental principles of self-government
Shall we change out position On the trust
question In order to. secure the support OF
taS t We bnh of f. Not T foF he %
magnates. against us, not for us. Their OPP
position is proof of our party's fidelity
their SUPPORT would cast suspicion upon US.
Shall we abandon our advocacy of BIZ
metallism In order to conclliate those who
defeated the party in other campaigns?
Never. Some phase of the money question
predict when the coinage phase of the
money question will again become acute.
No reform of any kind would be possible
with the money changers in control of the
party.
Shall we change our position on the tariff
question In order to win over Democrats
who are enjoying the benefits Of protec-
ton? 1t is absurd to suggest it. for the
same vicious principle runs through all OF
the abuses from which the people suffer.
And so with the party's position on the
labor question, the election Of senators by
the people, on watered stock, control OF
corporations and ON other issues.
The Kansas City platform is sound in
every plank, and the first act OF the next
Democratic convention should be to reaf-
firm 1t In Its entirety, and its next act
should be the addition of new blanks In
harmony with 1t and covering such new
questions as demand consideration.
Then the convention should select candi-
dates who believe In the platform-candi-
dates whose Democracy will not be an issue
ocratic principles will not be doubted ct
the election. And then the committee
should announce that it will neither ask
nor receive contributions from those who
are entrenched behind the bulwarks which
we are attacking. And then let US defend
our position, not upon the low ground OF
dollars and cents, but by showing how Re
publican policies violate moral principles
and invite the punishment that sooner or
later Overtakes the wrongdoer.
Will such course insure victory? The
victory, and appeal to the conscience
OF the American people is sure to win ulti
mately and offers the best promise of i'm
mediate success.

NO RIGHT TO HAMPER CUPID.
Heart Affairs Of Students Declared to Be
Beyond Faculty's Jurisdiction,

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 19-Judge Wood
in the circuit court held that a medical
college had no jurisdiction over the
heart affairs of its students and could
not legally withhold aediploma from one
of them who had fallen in love before the
time set for his graduation.
The decision was on the application for
writ of mandamus to compel the
Barnes Medical college to issue a diplo-
ma TO Onus York Of Muskogee I. T.,
class of 1908. who entered the college in
October, 1900. It was alleged as q rea-
son for withholding the diploma that
with whom he afterward quarreled and
that she. through revenge, told of their
love affair to the college faculty.

R,ind Peonle in India.

It is a strange and startling fact
that, according to the latest available
figures, the proportion of the blind to
the sighted In India is one in every
600, so that, allowing for the usual
native reluctance to enter bodily de-
fects in the census reports, it shows
that more than 100000 people in that
country are deprived Of sight.
Diseases Of the organs Of sight have
for ages been a peculiar feature of
eastern lands Among the causes are
the continual glare Of the sun, the
prevalent business Of the air, the lack
Of cleanliness and due care Of the eyes
Of the young. 1t is a common sight

Poisonous Beer.

caused by drinking the polluted beer.
Several deaths from this cause are
known to have occurred, but it is be-
,heved that large number of deaths at
tributed to other causes should have
come under this category. There Is no
doubt that large part Of the beer
brewed in England before 1900 contained
much arsenic, from the malt and from
the brewing sugars.
