sfder delivering bis eulogy on war pre-
senteG Nh. Roosevelt as candidate for
election to the presidency OF the o ait
ed States, pre- en5ing him as the god
OF war, the man Of blood and iron;
ard yet today the fame Of Roosevelt
rests not up the characteristics Of a
man OF iron and god OF war, but On
the fact that circumstances made 1t
possible for him to bring japan and
Russis together. It Is upsn pesce and
not upon war that his fame Is going
to rest. In the campaign two years
ago the main argument made against
Mr.. Roosevelt was that be had the
spirit OF var. Yet strange to say,
bis grestest claim to international
tame rests not upon the virtues or
characteristics aseribed to him by the
man who nominated him. but his hav-
ing Democratic ideas instead OF Re-
publican doctrines which have pur
him before the country. What elsa

Mr.. Bryan then paid his respects to
the trusts and made convincing ar.
guuent. John D. Rockefeller had
given the whole thing away when he
described the trust as an American
b.auty rose which attatnS it's fullest
perfection only after 80 other roses
nave been pinchsd cf OF the bush.
Mr.. Bryan declared elcquently that be
noald rather have the 80 small roses
Tor SO small homes than the one beau.
ty for one large home.
He attacked Ar. R,osevelt's policy
on the railroad rate bill. This bill is
not based OF the Republican platform
Two years ago elsrk OF the Inter
state Comnercs commission had urg-
ed the e ,publicans to put this in their
platform, but they refused. Subse-
uuently tbs same clerk came to Mr..
Bryan With the suggestion, but even
snen Mr.. Bryan had rate bill clause
in q draft OF platform to bs submit-
ted to the Democrats CONVEX tion.
MI. Roosevelt had to get the Demo

ient will lead in the cause Of reform
ae will always feel the support Of tbs
Democrats. 1t required 10 Jesrs to
find out what the Interstate Com.
msrce commission could not do. T.
may require several years longer to
ind all the defects in the rate bill,
out If the Democrats, get In power,
they will give good rate law.
He then took up the new p.opagan-
da, the government ownership, OF
cuaI ownership, suggestion. On &C.
count OF the Importance, this is treat.
cd elsewhere.
Mr.. Bryan reasserted bis faith In
tbs Democratic doctrine OF allowing
the Filtpinos to govern themselves in
ssead OF regulating their affairs by out
side forca. He spoke Of the expensive
blunder the republicans had made,
which cost this country $500, 900. COO,
more than enough, the speaker ds'
clared, to dig the Panama canal With
out tax on the people, more than
enough to reclaim the arid lands OF

20 build good roads everywhere.
Ia closing and speaking OF the ap
parent attitude on the part OF those
who had introduced him that he was
being induced to speak," was CON.
ier.iag a favor on the audience, Mr..
Bryan told story on himself illus
6rating bis always being ready to
speak. He said be liked to speak.
MI. Bryan closed with particular
ly attractive perlod on the corrupting
influence Of the money power. He
said the Democratic party several
years ago had warned those people
