BRYAN DISCUSSES "A
CONSCIENTIOUS ISSUE
THE GREAT ISSUE. HE SAYS, is
BETWEEN MAN AND MAMmoN.
OF SITUATION DEATH
All Questions at Issue Must be Viewed
From Moral Standpoint.

BY Associated Press.
New Haven, Conn. Jan. it.-Wil,
liam j. Bryan was the guest of honor
tonight at a Democratic banquet at
which Gov. Garvin and Congressman
DeArmond, of Missouri, were also
guests.
Mr.. Bryan's topic was "A Consci-
encious Issue" He said:
The great issue at this time is
the issue between man and mamman
between plutocracy and Democracy
All the surface questions or policy OF
taxation and regulation of finances
are but the phases of the century-long
that worldwide struggle between
the common people and wealth.
To say that it does ont pay for a
nation to violate the rights of the
people of another nation involves so
much of addition, substraction, multi
plication and division that we may
easily get lost in the maze of mathe-
matlcs, But to say that the wages
of the situation is death is to give an
epitome of history that accords with
each persons experiences.
In dealing with trusts. finance Ia
Dor problems, and all other questions
at issue we must view them from q
moral standpoint and arraign every
evil at the bar of public conscience.

Moscow Considers War Unlikely.

the rumors of Russian and Japanese
armies and navies, war is not con

the influential merchants and the edu-
Gated middle class, says;
1T is more important for Russia to
foster international developments and
husband her resources for weightier
purposes than to seek acquisition of
a yellow Russia, involving enormous
expenditures and prompting only ad-
venturous Rissians.'
The paper ridicules the reports OF
the depreciation of Japanese strength
and says:
she has five million men nearer the
scene than Russia's one million. Japan
is better armed and equipped and has
powerful hackers, Russia cannot profit
by a victory and her defeat would be
