THE Old World and It's Ways /"

Col. William Jennings Bryan's
new book of travel, entitled
1.-THE Old World and It's Ways
recoupts his recent tour around
the world and his journeys
through Europe. 1t is profuse-
ly and elegantly illustrated
with 251 artistic engravings rep.
resentlng men and things seen
in the various countries of the
earth during that noted journey.
The engravings are made from
photographs taken by him or his
party specially for his publica-
ton. 1t is regarded by him as
the monumental literary work
of his life, and is published un-
der his special supervision.
1t is sold only through agents
and following its announcement
it has, we are advised, met with
a demand that has exhausted
in a few months Jour large edi
tons asgregating over Al,
copies. BY special contract
with his publishers he has made
the retail price low down with
the view OF pntting it within
the easy reach of every reader
and book buyer,
The book gives his expert
ences-what he saw and did
whom he met and his impress
ions and conclusions. He made
a profound study of the nations
and of men and things as he
saw them around the world.
He gives governmental, educa-
tionaI. religious and other con-
ditions, from the standpoint of
a student and one profoundly
interested in all the peoples of
the earth.
The book is in no sense polit-
zeal, but is a brilliant record of
travel and observation, from
the standpoint of a we'll inform
ed American citizen, concern
ing the countries and the peo-
piles of the earth as seen today.
While the pen described the
camera pictured the splendid
details of this noted journey.
While Col. Bryan travelled as
a private citizen he went with
the prestige of having made
two memorable contests for the
Presidency of the United States
and he was everywhere recog-
nized and entertained as great
representative American, hav-
ing a leading part in the direc.
ton OF American affairs. He
was given opportunity for OBJ.
servations never before accord
ed to any one travelling in pri.

If one wants to see the world
and the people who are at the

men who are responsible for the en-

grown sleek, legislated knowingly or
in ignorance. The important fact Is
that they did legislate for the trusts
and that the trusts have reaped har
