BRYAN ON FAITH
 AT FAYETTEVILLE
Nebraskan Urges Students to a Course of Belief in Humanity and Self, Which, He Says,
 Will Win.

Fayetteville, William ]. Bryan spoke here today from a carriage to about 1000 students and citizens on the university campus.
 His subject was Faith, on which he recently lectured at Harvard. It was plea for faith in self, mankind, government and God. He said that faith in one's self sometimes caused bighead, but that this was better than little head. As to mankind, he sad that it was better to trust the people and lose occasionally than to be an infidel in reg ard to humanity.
 He pleaded for faith in govern. ment, saying that it was not per- feet; that he could prove thatby all the Republicans when the Demo- crats were in power, and that no proof was necessary when the Republicans were in power.
 He declared that every other country had borrowed and incor- porated American principles. He said that every failure in the political or commercial world was due to moral weakness. He urged the students to go into life's battles prepared to take posi- tion and defend it, that if in the minority at first, right would triumph, and they would some time be in the majority.
 Any man, he said, who lived an honest, industrious, moral and positive life in one community for 25 years would be a leader.
