Mr.. Bryan Explains Defeat
of '96 and Draws Analo-
gous Conclusions - Will
Not Talk of Possibility of
His Obtaining Nomination
spscial to The journal.

Lincoln, Neb., March 17.-"In the
long run a party's strength must de-
pend on the popularity of its policies
and, measured by these, there is no
doubt that the Democratic party is
much stronger than IL was either in
1896 or 1909"
Such was the confident assertion
of William ]. Bryan in the library Of
his home in the outskirts of Lincoln
II was, perhaps, partly in answer ="
Fluctuations on the pleasant prospect
that a year hence the Democratic
leader may occupy the White House.
MIR. Bryan has returned from d trip
through a portion of the South. He
laughed when it was suggested that
ne had hurried home on account of
illness and declared that the news
papers were responsible wholly for
the statement.
In fact" said he, II never felt
better in my life," and his appearance
bore out the boast. He explained fur
Their that he had come home because
his engagements were all cleared up
and there was no better place 10 come
TO.
Nebraska Platform TYPICAL.
The beauty and comfort of Mr.
Bryan's residence would justify this
remark, If an exception may be taken
to the zones of mud, in the way of
streets, which encompass the estate
and accompany the traveller three
miles or more back to Lincoln. If
there is a ringing plank favoring good
roads in the next Democratic nation
al platform, 1t may be presumed that
1t will enjoy Mr.. Bryan's fullest in
dorsement.
$50 far as the issues are concern
ed" said Mr.. Bryan, 1.-The platform
adopted in Nebraska last fall covered
these issues, l think, in a very salts
Factory manner. Not to specify every
thing, it declared for a vigorous en-
forcement of the criminal law
against trusts, insisted on further
prohibitiVe legislation to restrain cor
porations from contributing to cam
paign funds and favored the election
of senators by direct popular vote. 1t
argued for an immediate revision of
the tariff by a reduction of import
duty, spoke for an income tax as a
part of the revenue system, and pro-
tested against government by injunc-

A TRUST OF ALL
BIBLE CLASSES
Started by Whom? Rookie
Teller, Jr., of Course
Ambition Realized.
Special to The journal.

New York, March 17.-John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., in whom the trust
instinct is very active, has achieved
a cherished ambition of his Hfe He
has formed a Bible class trust, which
promises to include ali the Bible
classes in the country, and has care
fully worked out all details.
The first meeting of the new trust
will be held in the auditorium of
the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, the
Rockefeller church, on Friday even
ing. April g. Nearly every great
Bible class in New York has signi-
fed its intention to send a repFesen-
tative. Among those already pdeged
are those of the Fifth Avenue Pres
byterian church, Brick church, Broad
way Tabernacle and Calvary Baptist
church.
Mr. Rockefeller is announced to
address the meeting. and will outline
the policy of the new organization.
Those who are close to the young
millionaire say he has worked on the
idea for some time, and it is his in
tenion to establish a national head
quarters for Bible class workers,
with meetings at stated periods,
where plans can be exchanged and
new methods adopted. 1t is his be-
lief that the purity of the men of the
future depends upon Bible classes
more than upon the church. He is in
favor of having every Bible class
adopt the big brother" plan of work
which has produced such successful
results in the Rockefeller class. The
plan is both simple and effective. A
member of the class pledged himself
to act as a big brother to one or
more unfortunate young fellows
whose environment is such as to pre-
vent them rising from their sphere in
life. The -:big brother has to adj
wise, teach and help his charge in
every manner possible
IL Mr.. Rockefeller's plans are
adopted every lad in the country will
eventually have big brother.
