TWENTY DOLLARS A PLATE

President Taft, who will be in
this city at the time the ground
is broken for the Panama Pacific
exposition, is to be banqueted in
the evening Of October 18th. This
is eminently fitting and proper,
for the high office held by William
Howard Taft is entitled to honor
able recognition.
But the price per plate at this
banquet is to he 30 unbeatable,
for, like the republican tariff it is
prohibitive in many instances. 1t
is a price. that is easily payable by
the wealthy, but not by the
average citizen: and it chances
that. IN this city as elsewhere, the
poorer citizenship sometimes is of
the best, while the Weather
citizenship sometimes is of the
worst.
If the object of such a banquet
be to emphasize che distinc i ion
between the rich and poor. and
indirectly that this is a govern
ment Of cash, by cash and for cash,
then such price Of admission to
the golden boar is pre~,.mineatly
appropriate; but if the object be
to permit men who are "worth
while" to meet the president in a
srcial way. then it is a m istakc to
bar the many men worth while"
who are not money grabbers.
To be sure, if Mr.. TafS is recog-
nized as peculiarly the president
Of privilege and 'plunka, twenty
dollars for plate is none too
much; but even then. is it tactful
and wise to advertise the fact?
In our judgment the judicious
thing 10 have done would have
been to Invite the best citizens
Of San Francisco tie thu banquet
making the price per plate so
moderate that any and all of them
might have accepted. But then,
we are not the committee in
charge. S. +. Star.

Further celebration was planned
at Berea on the Wednesday after
President Frost's return. The entire
day was set apart for this purpose
but the rain interfered with the
sports and delayed the procession.
The chapel, however, was well filled
and the public exercises OF quite I'M

hymn, which he calls the "Doxology

HON. VIM. ]. BRYAN TOURS KY.

Under the auspices Of the State
Executive Committee of the Kentucky
Young Mems Christian Association,
the Hon. Vim. J. Bryan will make
lecture trip through the state next
week. Mr.. Bryan has for many years
been a loyal and interested member
Of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation and has spoken upon many
occasions and in all parts Of the
world in the interest of this institu-
ton. The purpose Of the State Ex-
ecutive Committee in bringing Mr..
Bryan to Kentucky is threefold In
It's nature. First, that Mr.. Bryan
may give his personal testimony from
wide experience as to the value Of
the Association movement in the
development of the best citizenship.
Second, that the people OF many OF
the smaller cities of Kentucky may
have the privilege of hearing the
remarkable eloquence and profound
addresses of this gifted American
statesman Third, to secure funds
y it'll which TO establish and equip a
large training camp for boys of Ken
lucky Associations.
Mr.. Bryan will speak eighteen
times In eleven different cities in
Kentucky during his trip. II will be
very strenuous time but he is ac-
oustomed to such campaigns and is
fully equal TO the occasion. In most
OF the places Mr.. Bryan speaks IN
Ger the auspices of the local Young
Mems Christian Association. II can
be safely said that Mr.. Bryan will
draw crowded houses in every place
he visits as there is probably no man
in America to-day who can attract
by his eloquence and personality as
many people as can Mr.. Bryan who
is without exception. the peer Of
American orators of to-day, and his
recent experience in Washington
shows that he has lost none of his
power as a political leader. The peo-
pie of Berea are exceedingly fortunate
in having the privilege of hearing
Mr.. Bryan. April 26. and there is
no question but what his reception
here will be exceedingly cordial.
No man who can possibly arrange
his affairs so as TO attend Mr.. Bryani
lecture will fail to do so.
