BRYAN Will NOT
DEBATE With TAFT
WIRES REFUSAL TO MEET OHIO
AN ON LINcoLN-poUeLAs
ANNIVERSARY.

Chicago, Sept 23.--William Jennings
Bryan will not meet William Howard
Taft in joint debate at Galesburg on
the anniversary of the Lincoln Doug
less debate.
This announcement was made today
1T the democratic headquarters at the
Annex after a telegram had been re-
eeived from Mr.. Bryan in which he
expressed his regret at having 10 dis
arrange anyone's plans. but neverthe-
less firmly declined to take part in the
proposed debate. The only reason he
assigned was that arrangements for
pther meetings already planned made
Il impossible for him to be present.
"You know Mr.. Bryan is nor follow
ing any itinerary made by the nation
IL committee" said an official of that
body yesterday, "but is making his
,wn appointments as best suits his
convenience. He has never promised
to speak at Galesburg on this occasion.
md so there can be neither surprise
nor disappointment that he is not to
DO so.''
The project for Bryan Taft de-
bate on the same spot where Lincoln
met Douglas many years ago, and on
the anniversary of that historic evenc,
was the pet plan of leading Galesburg
politicians, and has also been advo-
:ated by many Chicago workers, who
hoped to make it the mecca Of the day
for tremendous crowds.

Not every boy can be rich a man or a great man, but every boy can be a gentleman. A boy with gentlemanly manners, who is trusty and honest and does his very best every day, will gain the attention and confidence of men and will given be paying and responsible positions as soon as he is old enough to fill them. Boys like to have fun and a good time. It is right they should. They will never be boys but once, but to have fun is not altogether what they are made for. Boys are of value cheifly to make men, good for something in the world. Character, like house, must have the right kind of founda- ton. The foundation stones of a good character are reverence for God, respect and obedience to parents, deference for old peo- pie.
