BRYAN TALKS
ON THE ISSUES

THINKS THE PANIC ONLY A
WALL STREET SCARE.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Nov. H.
William Jennings Bryan was the
guest of honor on the 21st anniver-
sary of the Jefferson club of this
city at the Plankington touse last
night. Covers were laid for 500
guests He responded to the toast
Democracy"
Mr.. Bryan discussed the demo-
cratic idea of government as pre-
scented by Jefferson, contrasting it
with the Hamilton theory of GEN.
tralization and in speaking of the
spheres of the nation and the state
took occasion to condemn the ma
tional incorporation of railroads as
proposed by the president, saying
however honestly the president in
tended, it was in the interests of the
railroads, which desired not greater
federal regulation, but escape rro--.
state regulation.
He discussed the trust, tariff and
railroad questions. OF the trust
question he favored the enforcement
of the criminal laws against the
trusts and the enactment of new
laws, one of which is known as the
license system, to be applied to cor
as 25 per cent of the total output
/ in their respective lines. According
/ to this system no one corporation
would be permitted to control more
than SO per cent of the total produc-
/ ton On the tariff question he ia
vored immediate revision, beginning
on the tariff on articles which come
into competition with trust-made
articles. Such a tariff, he thought,
ought to be entirely removed. He
believed that the fear of removal
would compel the dissolution of such
| trusts as are protected by the tariff.
He regarded a tariff commission as
merely an excuse for delay in re-
vision. The protectionists, he said,
never favor tariff revision until they
are threatened with defeat and then
they favor it only to postpone re-
/ auctions.
On the railroad question he ex-
pressed himself as in favor of more
stringent regulation, regulation to
take the form of legislation ascer-
tanning the present value of the rail-
roads, preventing the watering of
the stocks and reducing rates. He
argued that a reasonable rate would
be rate that would enable the rail-
roads to maintain their stock at par
when the road was honestly capital
lied.
He discussed the present money
stringency, saying that it began with
speculation in New York but that 1t
has extended owing to the timidity
of depositors He thought that this
timidity was not justified, and that
the banks of the West are sound. He
favored legislation which, by in
creasing the security of depositors,
would remove even an unreasonable
fear.

Americans May Be Trusted to Wortc
Out Political Problems Without
Abandoning American Methods.
The summary of their views as
members of the Civic federation com
mission by Messrs Clark and Edgar Is
one of the most striking features Of
the report of that commission. Repre-
sentatives as they are of two of our
largest public service corporations, no
one can read their statement without
feeling that in this case they stand as
representatives of American principles
rather than of corporate interests.
Their words are confession Of faith
faith in American ideals of business
in American principles of government
and in the ability of American man
hood to solve economic problems with
out sacrificing these ideals and institu-
lions upon the altar of socialism.
Frankly admitting. as they do, the
existing abuses of corporate privilege
and welcoming intelligent regulation
Of such industries, they do not accept
the dictum of the municipal Socialists
that cure is to be found best or only
In laying upon our city governments
burdens of administration which they
were never designed to bear.
They find the solution Of the PROB
lem rather in cordial cooperation be-
tween the corporations and the pubic
recognition OH the part of corpora
fions that their prime business Is 10

on the part of the people that their re-
lations with such corporations must no
longer be left in the hands of cheap
politicians, but must be intrasted 10
men of honor, strength and breadtn,
who shall see to it that the rights OF
the people and of the capital inYesteu
shall alike be conserved.
If our citizens as whole nave q
similar faith in American INSTITUTIONS
they will patiently cooperate with tne
men within and without the corpora

the evils, and they will view Win ulS'

There was lot of talk few years ago con-
corning the formation of Catholic Y M. G. AS
in the United States. Only recently we heard
Catholic Knight of Columbus assert that prejudice
against Roman Catholics was still in existence in
the American Y. NJ. @. AS. While it is not always
reliable to believe all hears this charge has been
made so often that it will not down. We know
positively, and it has never been denied that the
womens branch of this order refuses to accept
Catholics even for passive membership Of course
the Catholics who could endure such membership
as to be excluded secretly openly from serving
on committees are hardly worth caring about We
have nothing against the Y. M. G.. A. personally.
as we never member of it. We do know that
1t has done much splendid work in this sordid
world, and that among its members are many
bright, upright and God-fearing men, but as we
hold positively that Christ established the Catholic
church of whose membership were ST. Peter and
St Paul, naturally and conscientiously desire
to lose members of the true shepherd and true
fold Cornelius, the Roman centurion was visited
by messenger from God who said to him: "Thy
prayers and thy aims are assembled for memorial
in the sight of God. And now send men to Joppe
and call hither one Simon, who is surmaned Peter
lie lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whose house
is by the seaside. He viii tell thee what thou must
do" And when Peter came he instructed him as to
the true church. Cornelius was, according to the
Scriptures, a good, charitable, upright man, yet
with all this God wanted him in the true church.
This is the Catholic argument absolutely with re-
gard to the Y. NJ. G. A.

THE SUNDAY NEWSPAPER.

We have received communication soliciting

deeds they also do good besides their suppression
is impossible. The sheet we received called the
Buge Blast is full of Secretary Roots unjust
screed against Hearst. We can apply to Hearst's
papers what is applied to all Sunday publications.
that is if they have bad influence they also have
a good. We refuse positively to take up the cry
of wolf against Hearst and join with the hounds
in full pursit of one editor He may have used
wrong methods in advertising his papers and of
that we not sure that it was not simply progress
sveness. We do not believe that w. r. Hearst is
bad as his envious fellow editors proclaim. We
hold that he entertains high ideals and that he is
full of high purpose in regard to the American
republic. If he has committed few wrong deeds
IN the past they more the errors of youthful
business ardor Until he is proven otherwise than
what we believe him, we will remain unchanged.
Who is all good and who is all evil? We do not
believe in Sunday cartoons that deny God, judg-
ment, heaven and hell but what can we do about it
Besides W. r. Hearst is Protestant and that
schismatc sect believes in the right of private
Judgment that every man should do as his reason
dictates and if he does believe in this or that
Biblical utterance he is only exhibiting his strong
faith in multifarious non Catholicism. In conclu-
sion ask do the scriptures say anything against
Sunday newspapers, and if they do, we do not
know, from Protestant standpoint whether they
are the word of God or no. They are the word of
God only the authority of the Catholic church
and Protestants reject that church

about them; 1,733,000 persons divorced in twenty
years; 866,500 marriages annulled; 866,5OO homes
broken up by order of the courts. Big figures these
worthy of an "all sorts" column. But divide
them up: 1733OOO divided by 90 the number of
years covered, and the result is an average of &c.,
$50 year. or 237 day. Sundays and holidays In

The figures are heart-breaking in the wreck of
the ideals of the sufferers; they smell to high heav

the thousands and thousands of children whose
early lives partake Of bitterness which should
never be theirs The strange secretveness of their
one parent when in childish innocence inquiry is
made for the other, who explain? Children
whose earliest recollection is parental disagreement
and who no more know the name of father or the

notions of the home must they grow up And
what strange ideals of marriage and the sacredness

what subtle poison is the social fabric inoculated!

FIGURES.

story told in figures is one which nearly
everybody passes up as stale, fat and Improbable
Figures are cold, heartless things and do not ap-
peal to most people. To others they are never
ceasing source of amusement and study. Back of
tie figures the imagination. plays with the desires
and passions of people; it sees woe and dismay and
misery and JOY and gadness-a thousand fanciful
dreams, all compressed into one short sentence.
Simple statements made in figures may be full of
truth but in this busy world when we glibly speak
OF millions while possessed only of units, the full
meaning is sometimes lost.
We read in newspaper call sorts" column that
$4,000 persons were divorced in the United States
during the past twenty years 1t is simple, mat
ter-of-fact statement, with no embellishments of
any kind and is simply intended to convey to the
people an idea of how America moves. The call
sorts" column is not given to speculative ANALYSIS
of the things dealt with and nothing of statisti
cal nature is admitted unless it exceeds a million.
Granting these figures on divorce are correct.
or even approximately SO, nasmuch as thew are
probably based on reports of the census bureau.
