LETTER FROM THE COMMONER
The letter Of William J. Bryan. writ
Ten from Brazil. which caused a COM
motion when ID was read TO the local
banquet Committeemen because of what
some OF them termed its unorthodox
doctrine, was as follows:
T think YOU for the invitation to the
Jefferson day banquet. While 1 shall
not return TO the United States in time
10 attend. ! can join with you in spirit
the more heartily because Of what
have learned by visiting other coun-
tries
i have seen everywhere the infiu-
ence exerted 10y his teachings. In the
j
ing I find illustra tions Of his idea of
conquest. He contended that we
should conquer the world with our
ideals rather than with our arms and
in this sense We are effecting a con-
quest Of Brazil Her constitution is
modelled after ours; she has copied
from us the federal system OF govern
ment, which Cnites control of local af-
fairs with national supremacy; her
dag, like ours, has star for each
state. and her school system is being
made TO conform more and more to
ours.
VICTORIES CEMENT FRIENDSHIP
These victories, too, cement friend
ship instead Of arOusing enmity.
Hail 10 Jefferson, the worlds school
master, whose views continue their ma
Jestic march around the earth.
But in our country as well as
abroad, his principles are triumphing
He taught that the art Of government
is the arr Of being honest. and each
new investigation proves the folly Of
those who refuse 10 learn of him.
He was the foe of monopoly in
every form, and his name is the one
which can. with most propriety. be
invoked when the trusts are attacked
and when contest is being wa ged for
the application OF the principles Of
popular government.
