scene somewhat out of the ordinary
was enacted in the House of Repre-.

made by Mr.. Mann, OF Illinois, that

ported to be a speech delivered by
him last Saturday. but which Mr.. Mann
charged was not the one delivered. 1t

that he and not Mr.. Mann was the
author of the legislation which brought
me department OF Commerce and
Labor into being. resolution offered
by Mr. Mann to eNpunge the printed
speech from the record was adopted
by strict party vote, but not until!
after the House had been treated to
a. bitter denuncation of MIR. Mann by
MIR. Sulzer, and several lively tilts be-
tween the latter and the speaker.
Mr.. Sulzer characterized Mr.. Mann
as "a pettifogging lawyer, mean and
contemptible," for which he was call
ed to order by the Speaker, with the
admonition that such language could
not be used toward member.
Anticipating that his speech would
be ruled out, and with the view to
getting 1t back into the record, Mr..
Sulzer resorted to a piece of strategy
by trying to have the speech read and
later endeavoring to read it himself.
but the Speaker insisted that he could
only address himself to the resolution
to eXpunge.

The. case of the General Oil Company
Us. John H. Grain, oil inspector for the
city Of Memphis. Tenn. was decided by
the supreme Court of the United States
to-day favorably to Grain. The suit
grew out of resistance by the COM
pany of Grains right to inspect oil
held In the city for shipment to other
States on the ground that such inspee-
tion would effect an interference with
interstate commerce, and. therefore, be
a violation Of the Constitution. Jus
tice Mckenna announced the courts
decision, holding that the oil was sui
1ect TO State regulation. as the oil in
question was held in Memphis for dig
tribution. Justice Moody dissented OH
the ground tha much OF the oil was

After quoting many precedents to
show the courts tendency in the mat

Hia Addrc.s to Students.

| The meeting in Jackson Memorial
Hall tonight was an inspiring one.
Mr. Bryan had before him 700 young
men, students Of Washington and Lee
and cadets of the Virginia Military In
stitute. And the occasion was met by
the speaker. whose sympathies were
drawn out to the fullest. Superntend-
ent Nichols presented DR.. Denny. who
introduced Mr.. Bryan in a few choice
words of appreciation in honor of the
surroundings, announced his subject to
be Faith He said this theme was
forcibly presented to him a short time
ago, when he substituted as teacher
for his wife's Sunday school class, the
subject of the lesson being "Abrahams s
Journey to the Far Country in Obedl-
ence to the Command Of Cod" Faith
he declared to be an important factor
In all our lives. Faith determines
where we go. what we do and how much
and how we'll. The speaker divided his
subject into four heads: First, faith
in self; second, faith in humanity; third,
faith In our form of government, and
fourth. faith In God. The man who
has faith in himself does things. He
has confidence in his intellectual pre-
paredness. The man who is unseltish.
who pleads for others Is strong, while
the selfish man is weak. Better be
deceived on account of over faith In
others than be cynical. He said he
feared the plutocracy of wealth, re-
spected the aristocracy of learning, but
loved the democracy of the heart. ours
is the best form of government the
mind of man ever conceived. II Is the
form of government destined to be the
worlds form of government
tn, CT p thanS the mind.
The speaker said he was always glad
to learn Of religious interest among
young men; that they recognized back
of the design a designer, back OF the
creation a creator, back of the uni
verse a God. The Christian life. said
he. is not narrow life, but 1t is full
and complete. Those who have faith
have victory.
