 LITTLE ROCK
THE COMMONER DELIVERS HIS "PRINCE OF PEACE" LECTURE
 TO A LARGE AUDIENCE.
DELIVERS ADDRESS TO LEGISLATURE
Urges Passage of Bank Guaranty Law as An Absolute
 Necessity.

Little Rock.-This city was visited last Thursday and Friday. A great ovation was given the distinguished Nebraskan at the depot when he ar rived and packed houses listened to his addresses on "The Prince of Peace" and "The Bank Guaranty Plan."
 In delivering his religious address Mr. Bryan said that "it was rather fashionable in some circles for people to scoff at religion and he desired if possible to do some good especially to the younger set, who had such an idea. He declared that religion is the dominant note in the life of every man and that in proportion to the ex- tent in which that note sounds true that life is successful He stated that he had seen many great men rise and many fall and that in the case of every one the downfall could be traced to breakdown in morals. The speaker declared that he was not a believer in the Darwin theory "If anyone can find pride in tracing his ancestry back to the monkey, I will be the last to deny him that satisfac- tion," remarked MT. Bryan. How ever, if he does take that pride, shall certainly object to his finding a place or connection with my family tree. I have seen some going from monkey to man and-I am sorry to confess-some from man to monkey. However, I would rather believe that some monkeys come from men than to believe that all mankind comes from the monkey
 MT. Bryan declared that many peo- pie believed peace would mean the that they could go where they wanted and do what they wanted But those who have acquired much money do not seem to possess peace" he said. Part of them tell you that they spent the first half of their lives get ting money and the remainder keep ing it. Others are not able to spend it. A few have after they get it." In this connection trouble in getting peo- pie to take 1t he declared that he believed the day is coming when churches and institutions of that sort will refuse to "help spend ill-gotten gains" given by some of the rich and wealthy class. This declaration was followed by applause from the audi ence. The entire speech, of which the above extracts were part, was well received by the crowd.
 After the address at the theater Mir Bryan by invitation of the Little Rock lodge of Modern Woodmen of America addressed the members of the lodge at their hall.
 Mir. Bryan is a member of the Wood men of America lodge as well as the Knights of Pythias order.

 Seems to Be Assured.
 Pine Bluff.-Thomas Bell of St. Louis, who made a contract with the directors of the North and South rail- road two years ago to build both the road and the bridge across the Arkan- sas river at Pine Bluff, is in the city in conference with the former execu- tive committee. The building of the road was prevented by legal difficult ties which the legislature alone could remove. Senate Bill No. 191, recent ly passed by both houses of the leg islature and signed by the governor, is supposed to make the way now open for the building of the road. A mass meeting will be called immedi- ately and the people will be fully ad- vised of the exact situation. Every assurance is given that the contractor is ready to build the road and bridge. It is proposed to build the North and South railroad from Pine Bluff north to connect with the Rock Island at either Lonoke DeValrs Bluff or Mesa. The surveys have been made, and the building of road and bridge is now believed assured. It will cost mil lion and a half dollars.

NUMBER 6.
COST or LIVING
 IS ADVANC--[v<-..ii <.i
Bread, the Staff Of Life, is BerG Lift- ed in Price-Wheat Pit Prices
 Fall

Little Rock-As an outcome of the advanced cost of wheat and the re sulting rise in price of flour, bakers of this city and the country generally have announced an increase in the cost of bread Little Rock bakers, who formerly sold three loaves Of bread for a dime, are now demanding cents each or six for a quarter While this extra price is being re- quired from the consumer, stock spectators in Chicago are scram- bling like wildcats to maintain an at tempted corner of the wheat market. Fortunes are being juggled in order to sustain the desired price of grain. In one day last week one speculator purchased 3,000000 bushels of wh at in order to keep the price above certain figure.
 A recent meeting of Little Rock bakers decided on the increased rate fer bread to local consumers. The new scale was made effective at once and is to be continued until the price of wheat declines. Families will suf- fer from the advance in the same pro- portion as do the bakers. Even if families make their own bread, in- stead of buying it from the bake shops, they will save nothing, bakers contend, even if they do not count their labor. Whereas they buy flour ay the sack, bakers buy by the car load, which, they declare, offsets the difference in the cost of labor.
 The advance in bread will be fol- lowed by rise in cookies, rolls, pas try goods, buns and all bake shop products. Flour in carload lots was quoted this week at $5.75 a barrel, with the prospect of soaring to $6.30 or $640 if wheat continues to ad- vance. At least one restaurant in the the city the price of a "set up" Of bread and butter has been raised be- cause of increased cost.
