BRYAN WARMLY GREETED.
Continued from Page One.)

The speaker hoped that his hearers
would pardon him a little if he should
say few things just to the students
alone. Il have been just AZ years getting
here" he said, land / do not want to
lose the opportunity Of saying one or two
| things to the students who are here to-
day
Considering that public speaking is one
OF the most potent methods of moulding
public opinion, Mr.. Bryan said: II am
interested in moulding the public opinion
that at last controls our government, and
L feel like transferring and passing on to
some of you the advice that l in my
youth received.
Il had an instructor who used to say
that there was a difference between the
speeches of Cicero and the speeches of
Demosthenes. He used to say: When
Cicero speaks, they say How well he
Speaks" but when Demosthenes speaks
they say Let us go against Philip
The foremost thing is that the purpose OF
speaking is not the impression that the
speaker but the subject discussed makes
upon the audience
Mr.. Bryan said that he frequently re-
ceives letters from boys and young men,
each of whom declares that he is a born
orator Mr.. Bryan said that while it is
necessary for an orator to be born that
IS the smallest part of his equipment.

.GermanyWi|| Not Discuss
Disarmament Question
During Peace Conference al The
Hague -Position Defined.
Abstention From Discussion Does
Not Mean Desire For War.

Berlin, April 30-There was q gen.
eral debate on Germany's foreign re-
latiOns in the Reichstag today and, in
cidentally, Andrew Carnegies recent
reference to the decision between war
and peace being in the hands of En-
peror William, was criticized and
c!assed as a distortion of facts.
At the opening of the debate speak
ers pointedly suggested to the imperial
chancellor that Germany should take
no part in the discussion of the limita-
ton of ornaments at The Hague con-
ference.
The chancellor in reply said that
Germany did not object to letting other
powers discuss the matter but they
would hold alOof. This statement was
received with approval by the House
Continuing, Won BueIow referred to
the recommendation of the first peace
conference at The Hague that the
powers study the question of the
limitation of armaments.
Germany" the chancellor said has
complied with this recommendation
but has not found formula which
takes IN account the great diversity in
the geographical economic and mill
tary positions of the various states or
one which would be calculated to re-
move those diversities and serve as
basis for treaty.
Il am also unaware that other
countries have been more fortunate in
discovering such a formula. So long
as there is not even hope for sat
lsfactory solution Of this question and
no method for its practical applica-
ton exists we cannot expect agreement
from its discussion at a conferences:
on the contrary the danger is that an
undesirable effect may be produced by
arousinS divergent interests" The
chancellor claimed that the mere pros
pect of discussion of the question of
the limitation Of ornaments had dis
quoting effect upon the international
situation.

.If you ask me how one party can be
successful next year, cannot say: but
do believe that the party that has the
highest ideal will leave its impress upon
the history of this nation and upon the
welfare of this land.
II want To say a few words to you
about our ideals of government. Destiny
is the towards excuse for not opposing
a wrong or not doing n right A nations
ideals are determined by the people them
selves. We must have rule TO guide us,
and I know no better rule than that this
is the peoples government and that the
people have a right to rule. VIII the
minority decide what IS right for the ma
jority to have? I believe that the peo-
pie have a right TO have what they want
in government.
II believe that if the people want the
gold standard they have a right to it,
What more can concede in the interests
of harmony than that? (applause).
And if it is true that nature still fur
nishas too much gold. ! am willing that
they choose something scarcer If they
can find it.
II read not long ago Of a new kind of
metal only two pounds of which exist in
the world, and I was afraid that they
would make that the standard. If the
people choose to do SO ! shall be willing
to demcretize gold, and shall be willing
to have one pound given to Rockefeller
and the other pound to Morgan, and !
shall be willing to stand with the people
of this country and watch Rockefeller
and Morgan. daughter and applause)
II want to say TO you that the ideals
of this nation are not only interpreted to
this country hut also to the world. What
ever we do here has its influence the
world around. 1t is the destiny of our
nation TO develop the highest civilization
for the world by the power of a noble

mt. Bryan concluded his address to
students at this point and with half his
time elapsed began his lecture on The
Value of an Ideal"
| Have You ever tried to measure tho
value OF an ideal?" was the opening
question. The speaker showed that not
only IS an ideal worth a vast sum of
money, but it sometimes means the diff
terence between life and DEATH He trac-
eu the increase in the number of sui
cldes, apart from those due to insanity.
to false ideal of life He said that if
one measured life by what he does for
Others there is no chance of dsappoint-
ment
MT. Bryan said that he had had in his
lie three ambitions. His first ambition
was TO be Baptist preacher. His sec.
ohu amnltlon was to be a. farmer and
raise pumpkins, and this. indeed had
peen partially realized. His third ambi-
uon was to be lawyer, and this was
the first ambition he could distinctly re-
call. This ambition led me through all
my school days" He moved from Hi
hols to Nebraska solely on account OF
the advantages for the practice Of law.

erl my influence as to make this govern

The speaker then elaborated his theme
by giving illustrations from his observa-
tioh OF how an IDEAL has influenced tho
Life
among these were two young men of |
ms acquaintance, also Tolstoy the Rus |
sian philosopher, whom he visited on his |
trip around the world.
The speaker had a fling at materialism
and told an amusing story OF a method
which 1t was scientifically demonstrated :

Mr.. Bryan said that there are two es-
Sentlals in oratory: First that the speak
er shall know what he is talking about
ana second, that he shall mean what he
says. The age of oratory will never pass,
for human interest will always be with
US. Next to the essentials named the
speaker believed that clearness OF state
ment was necessity. when truth is
put in the clearest possible statement it
VIII not require argument. A truth car
be so clearly stated that no one will at
tempt to refute it,
And the next thing is brevity. An cpl
gram is good because it condenses. A
proVerb is good because it is instructive"
Mr.. Bryan said that he is particularly
fond of the Proverbs of the Bible.
Education will be Disappointing if it
does not have behind it a moral pur-
pose" He declared that he did not be-
lleve that God ever made minister wise
enough to say what position any boy
would take in later life, and on that &C
count he repudiated the idea that educa-
ton should be confined to any particular
class when God gave brains to all He
meant that all should Think said Nj.
Bryan. III We are going to have uni
versal education we must have a moral
purpose to accompany it."
Mr.. Bryan described two kinds of self
ishness in the world; one represented by
the buzzard and the other by the bee.
The huzzacd never gets so high but he is
always thinking of something to eat,
while the bee goes where the honey lies
ana when 1t dies leaves a monument of
honey for the gladdening of the earth.
