She knew the story of Miriam. the
sister of Moses, and how she became
leprous, white as snow" She knew
how that Naaman had sought with all
riches to buy cleansing. and how it had
come 70 him as a gift. and how the
great prophet Elisha had said TO Gehazi:
The 1eprosy therefore of Naeman shall
cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed
forever. And he went out from his
presence a Ieper as white as snow" She
knew how even the King Of Judeah
had been set apart for Ieprosy. as when
Uzziah sought to usurp the FRICTION of
the priesthood and burn incense in the
temple, "and all the priests looked up

sized the necessity Of senators and
congressman being bound by plat
forms. saying he would later suggest
a form for such a plank.
"If all the Democrats in the SEN
ate and house had voted against ev-
cry proposed decrease, we might have
made outright next year on the party's
record without making specific dec
laration on items of schedule" said
Mr.. Bryan, ''but in view Of the fact
that Democrats in both the senate and
the house differed as to the interpret
tation Of the Democratic platform and
as to the rates that should be imposed
under the various schedules I believe
that it is necessary for our platform
to be specific and emphatic.
IF we expect to secure control Of
congress we must convince the pub
lie that We will, if entrusted with the
power. favor material reductions. Un-
less our candidates for congress can
agree before the election they are not
likely to agree after the election. If
each Democratic candidate will state
his position, the voters can elect rep
resentative who will give expression to
their views. and I am much more anx-
