BRYAN AT CHICAGO
Talks of Democracy at the
 lroquois Club.
REFUSES ILLINOIS ENDORSEMENT.
Nebraskan states That There 10 No Such Thing as Good Trust-scores Chairman Sullivan as Poor
 Democrat.


 CHICAGO, Sept. civilian J. Bry- an and party arrived in Chicago over the Grand Trunk railroad. MT. Bryan was met at the station by large party of local Democrats made up of mem- bers of the Iroquois and Jefferson . clubs. The first man to greet MT. Bry- an as he stepped from the train was Mayor Dunne, with whom he shook hands warmly, remarking, This is like getting home"
 Mr. Bryan's programme for his visit included an informal reception at the Auditorium hotel He was driven to the headquarters of the Iroquois club, where he was entertained at luncheon. Addresses were made by President John w. Eckhart and MT. Bryan.
 MT. Bryan said in part:
 T want to say to you that all over the world there is perceptible growth of Democratic ideas. When speak of democracy I speak, of course, in that broader sense in which democracy means the rule of the people. think possibly there has been less progress in this ci.Sntry in the direction of democracy than in some of the coun- tries of the old world That may be ex- plained by saying that we have less distance to travel than they have in Europe and that we have to some ex- tent felt counteracting influence in the last twenty-five years that to my mind, can be traced to the dominating influence in politics of great corpora tions interested in favorite legislation and in special privileges.
 MT. Bryan then amid much applause advocated the election of United States senators by the people.
 MT. Bryan then asserted that there had been great changes in public senti- ment during his absence and said that the Republican party had lost much ground since 1900.
 As remedy for the trust problem MT. Bryan offered a plan for conflning in the state that allowed its incorpo- ration any trust that oppressed the people by allowing 1t to operate in no other state. It would then be in po- sition to eat up the state that gave 1t birth, ho said, and that state would thereafter be careful not to be eaten a second time.
 A white haired man who gave his name as Samuel Browning and his resi- dence as Kentucky created disturb ance among the Bryan visitors in the lobby of the Auditorium Annex by brandishing a knife and demanding to see MT. Bryan. He was arrested by the house detective and turned over to the police.
 Mir. Bryan in speech at banquet given In his honor by the Jefferson club devoted most of the time to Ma tional Committeeman Roger c. Sulli. van of Illinois, whose resignation MT. Bryan has demanded, but who despite this was indorsed by the recent state convention, which also declared itself in favor of MT. Bryan as the next Democratic nominee for president.
 MT. Bryan not only scored Sullivan and his political methods numerically, but informed the Democrats that he would have none of the approval of the Democrats of Illinois and that he repu- dated their recent indorsement of him.

BANK LAW TO BE RlelDLy ENFORCED.

Directors of national banks who, by constant. ly ignoring the law threaten the solvency of the banks with which they are connected, are to be made examples of by the treasury department. Hereafter the law regulating the making of loans by national banks is to be rigidly enforced and the first bank that willfully and fagrantly violates it will have its charter forfeited. This statement was made by a treasury official the other day while discussing the failure of Q Massachusetts national bank.
 The downfall of this bank was due to an az gravated trouble of which a surprisingly large number of other banks are guilty-excessive loans to bank directors and officers.
 The admission was made at the treasury de- partment that twothirds of the banks habitually disregarded the limitations of the law in regard Inc of 1oan that m ha mado What

STRANGE OCCUPATIONS OF WOMEN.

Someone with a talent for figures and an earnest interest in the sex has been raking over the last government census and extracting there from a bundle of statistics showing some of the strange occupations in which the women of our country are engaged.
 A brief glance at this interesting list is enough to reform any mere man who might have thought that woman is 'frasl critter. only fit for fancy feather stitching and similar dainty pursuits. and entitled to the gentle considera- ton of the sterner sex.
 The sex has surely arrived" and no longer stands in need of protection when 1t is stated that about onethird of the adult women in the United States are earning their own living not counting those who are surely earning a living after the good old orthodox fashion. in cooking.
