Bryan at Nevada Chautauqua.

Never before has the capacity Of
the auditorium at the Lake been so
taxed as yesterday when w. j. Bryan
delivered a chautauqua address, his
subject being, 1.-THE Price of Soul, "
says the Post.
Quoting the man from Galilee who
asked: What profit it a man if he
gain the whole world and lose his
own soul?" Mr.. Bryan posted as
the proposition to be demonstrated in
his essay, "The Price of Soul, that
"a man can honestly earn only so
much as measures his service to
society. E"
Beginning with the sum of $780,
600 as honestly earnable, Mr.. Bryan
advanced the amount interestingly
until he reached the imposing maxi
mum of 500 millions of dollars. "Do
you think" he said, 'any man can in
his lifetime earn such a sum of money
as that? | believe he can" he said.
81 believe Thomas Jefferson earn
ed that amount. believe that if his
services to society could be express
ed in dollars and cents that the sum
of 500 millions would not be too
great compensation.
"And believe that Abraham Lin
coin by his services to society earned
that amount.
"You note that of the two men
have picked out as having earned
that stupendous sum, one was a DEM
ocrat and one a Republican. That
shows my non-partisanship. How
ever, | do not intend to pick out any
more for it would be too much of a
job for me to find a Republican for
every Democrat who has earned 500
millions of dollars by his services to
society.
"And let me say right here that the
men who have earned this amount
have never collected it.
Gas a matter of fact, the man who
by his service to society earns 500
millions of dollars never has time to
collect it. While the man who col
lects 500 millions of dollars from So
ciety never has time to earn it.
eve do not need a few men of
great wealth." declared Mr.. Bryan,
"What the world needs is men who
will link themselves to humanity and
solve the problems which people face
from day to day, instead of making
any harder problems for the people.
