At His Birthplace.

During the day Mr.. Bryan divided most
or his time with the Bryan and Jennings
branches of his family. After luncheon
he rode out TO the cemetery and placed
flowers on the graves of his parents. and
on his way back to the city inspected the
new Bryan-Bennett library presented by
himself and the late Phil o. Bennett of
Connecticut. The building cost $500. of
which Mr.. Bryan contributed $1,000 He
also contributed the site which is the site
of the house in which he was born.
Several thousand of the citizens of Sa-
lem and visitors shook the candidate S
hand. He held receptions at the court
house, hotel and railroad sta alton where the
people fought their way to get near him.
While Mr. Bryan was talking the crowd
made up purse of $500 and handed il to
him as a campaign contribution. A check
for 800 also was given by man from
Clinton county.
Preceding Mr.. Bryan's remarks, Theo-
dOre A. Bell of California. chairman of the
Kern notification committee. who accom-
panied Mr.. Bryan here, made speech.
in which he compared the platforms of

Mr.. Bryan's ak.

Mr. Bryan said in part:
You know il would be very hard for me
to make a political speech in Salem be-
cause a good many of my earlier &C
quaintances here were Republicans and
would not for the world. say anything
that would hurt the feelings of any Re
publican friend.
But ! was thinking today of story
that l thought may fit this case. espe-
cially would it fit the case with the Re
publicans who are friendly to Mr.. Roose-
Welt. j got this story in Canada An
American official up there told ii to me.
He said that there was a man named for
office, and he was very anxious to poll a
big vote in his home town. or the tow
where he was born. and he went back
there and made a speech. and they turned
out. those of his own party and those of
other parties, and he made a personal ap-
very anxious TO have a large vote in the
town Of his BIRTH. just as a compliment
TO him. and in the course of his speech
he said:
Many of you will not agree with me
in party affiliations, but | believe YOU will
vote for me just for old friendship sake.
and he pointed to an old man named
Smith. He said: Now. there is old BROTH
er Smith. l know we do not believe in the
same party, but / have known him from
the time l was boy. and he has known
Will vote for me just for old acquaintance
sake Won't you, Brother SMITH
Now Brother Smith was very frank
old man. and he blurted out:
II would vote for the devil first
Well responded the young man. as
your friend is not running this year, can
not | expect your vote?'

Going to Get Republican Votes.


"And so ! feel that. as the friend OF
the Roosevelt Republicans is not running
this year. / am going TO get some of
their votes. But | might put il on
stronger ground than that. There are GER
tain things that come naturally by
descent. and reforms come by descent.
You cannot convey a reform by will. The
president has tried TO bequeath certain
reforms to the Republican candidate, but
am the next of the blood of the reform
business and they come TO me. In fact,
/ think / could make IL stronger than
that. If man dies and leaves no chill
dren the property goes back TO his par
ents. and. so far as reforms are con-
cerned. the Republican party has died
without heirs. and the reforms go back
to the one from whom the Republican
party got the reforms.
\ so | think | have "a right to expect
a good many Republican votes this year.
Then. my friends. | am expecting large
additions TO the Democrats. because the
times are ripe for q change in admin
istratiOns Mr.. Taft was making a speech
over in Virginia and he forget that there
was a country outside. and he was MAJ
ing the speech for the Republicans OF
Virginia and he told those people that
when a party stayed in power a good
while il was apt to become corrupt, ana
il was good thing TO have a change
His remarks have q larger application
than he made of them tHl py, and IL
a party in a state will get i a position
where a change is necessary or even de-
SlrdDlt. want 10 say " YOU tiidt WITCH
you apply 1t to a national party the rea-
son for a change is still greater; for the
farther many get away from home. the
more apt they are to forget the people
at home. and these Republicans in ma
tionaI offices have been serving far away
from home. and they have forgotten the
struggling masses at home.
..In our platform we declared that thu
overshadowing issue was Shall the peo-
ple rule?'. Mr.. Taft says that they do
rule
..It is question about which there is a
difference of opinion. All who think they
do rule today will differ from me: all
who think they do not rule will differ
from Mr.. Taft Mr.. Sherman said that the
people do rule He ought TO know better.
for he has been one of the fellows who
has kent them from ruling; in the house
of representatives he has been one of the
men responsible for the thwarting of the
will of the people. l lay down the prop
ostion that the American people today do
not rule They do not conduct their own
government and a government conducted
bv others is not responsible to the will of
the people. Now. II am right. Mr.. Taft
is wrong, and Mr.. Sherman is wrong.
when they say that the people do rule
they admit that the people ought to rule.
and if they admit that the people ought
to rule If | can convince the country
that the people do not rule. then We are
entitled to verdict at this election, and
am willing TO meet the issue

A Madman's Stranqe Belief.

An unfortunate maniac was confined
in one of the Scottish lunatic asylums,
his particular infirmity being an un-
shakable belief that every day was
ing sumptuously Oh turkey or roast
beef and good slice of plum pud-
ding. His real diet. however, was of
the plainest. he being served twice
daily with q dish of oatmeal porridge.
After daily describing to his attendants
the pleasures he had tasted in his cut
of turkey or what not, he as regularly
added. "Yet. somehow or other, every
thing that | eat tastes of porridge."
This story it was which gave rise to
the saying. LAS palatable as the mad
mans porridge."

UndodaeabIe Taxes.

"In the past" said the tax assessor,
governments were wiser. They levied
taxes that could not be sworn Oft.
There was. for instance. the English
birth tax of the seventeenth century.
A laborer paid . shillings as birth tax;
a duke paid E3O. You couldn't get
round it.
"Burials were taxed, according to
the station of the dead, from shilling
to 925. That. too. could not be lodged.
marriages were taxed. A duke to
marry paid 200; a common person.
like yourself. paid half a crown.
'In those days you paid a tax on
every servant, on every dog, on every
horse, Oh your carriage, your hearth,
your windows. watches, clocks, wigs,
hair powder, plate, ribbons, bricks,
coal, gauze and candles. "-Cincinnati

Some Famous Salt Lakes.

The Dead sea is forty miles long and
nine miles wide. The Great Salt lake
is seventy miles long and eighty miles
wide, the largest body of brine in the
world. There is evidence to show that
once the Great Salt lake was at least
$50 miles in length and 100 in width,
nine times its present area. The Dead
sea contains about p per cent of SOL
ids. one-third of which is pure salt,
while of the % per cent of solid mat
ter in the waters Of Great Salt lake
nearly ali is salt.
