Bryan Talks to Club.
Before the business meeting of the
club Col Bryan was introduced by
President ReXdale and made a short
address mainly on journalism. He
spoke briefly of his own experiences
as newspaper man. having served
four years on the staff of the Omaha
World-Herald. prior to 1896, and he
said that even now, although he was
originally educated for the law and
had practiced that profession and had
had some experience in politics, be-
sides. yet when called upon to write
his occupation. he always used the
title of journalist He stated that he
was visiting n member of the Wash
ington Newspaper Mems club, an hon
orary member of the New York Press
club, and a nonresident member of
the Press Club of Chicago. Mr.. Bryan
then spoke of the mission of the press.
its tendency and its opportunities for
usefulness. Referring TO the character
OF many of the greatest of the present
day daily publications, he said that the
main fault that he detected was that
they were in many instances apt to be
influenced by the business end of the
proposition, that they leaned to too
much of the commercial side of matters
of policy. There was not the per
sonality in the editorial conduct of the
newspaper that there was in the day
of Horace Greeley. and where there was
the absence, of the known personal
influence back of the utterances, of
- hA thiS
known personality was likely to WELD
more influence than many o. the dali
les Where a paper existed purely as
money making proposition, its news
as we'll as it's editorial columns
were than likely to fail OF
correctly mirroring current events,
to say nothing of the views of men
of influence whose theories and con-
victions might be at variance with the
attitude of the paper as dictated by
considerations of commercial advan-
tage alone. In many cases Mr.. Bryan
declared a newspaper was published
with a definite purpose to accomplish
though its readers are not aware of
its aim. Often that purpose is not
a commendabIe one, but in the major

along this line Col. Bryan said, Il am
impressed with the power of the daily
paper when it's aim is right. The
newspaper should be the means of
moldlng the sentiments of the people |
He closed by thanking the club for
their hospitality. Col. Bryan then in
vited the members of the club to be
his guests at the lecture given at the
First NJ. +. church in this city. In the
business proceedings that followed he
was unanimously elected an honorary
member of the club.
Rabbi Also n Guest.
The club rendered a vote of thanks
TO the proprietors, Kneipp & Miller, of
the St. James. for their hospitality.
The club then adjourned to Rock ISL
and to attend the lecture. Rabbi w.
II. Fineshriber, who is to deliver the
annual lecture under the clubs aus
pices at the Burtis. March 80. on Rus
STA and Its Modern Problems was
also a guest of the club, and shared
with Col. b. the place Of honor at
the dinner. D. kSabbi also accompan-
led Col. Bryan ock Island on the
Iatter's invitation and enjoyed the lee
ture at the First NJ. Z. church.

Mr.. Centner's plan contemplates the
establishment of purchasing agencies
in the large commercial centers to buy
goods for the retailers in the organiZa-
ton. This plan has been followed b.
the grocers' association of Iowa,
for instance and has added enormous
ly to the profits of the members of
that organization. This agency also
would gain advantages for the retail
ers in freight and passenger arrange
ments with the railroads.

PROFESSIONALS WERE QUIET

New York, November 24.-Today's cot ton market was active but chiefly for the account Of big professional interests, with wire and commission houses receiving comparatively few orders. It looked as though powerful bull and bear interests were opposing each other aggressively, and prices ruled very irregular, while there was an undercurrent of excitement hardly suggested by the course of prices. The close was barely steady at a de- cline of 15@1S points, or the lowest leve, Of the session.
 The market opened steady at a decline of 4q11 points and sold off to a net loss of about 14@15 points on the active months under bear pressure and liquidation, pro- noted by disappointing cables. At the de- cline large bulls became very heavy buy CTS, and succeeded in rallying the mar ket to 11.4S for January and 11.72 for March or about 8 points net higher.
