BRYAN breaches On Faith.

William j. Bryan, the thrice defeated
candidate for president, OH lis lecture
tour, made two addresses in New Jersey
last Sunday. On Saturday night he
addressed the students at SMalhmore
College, which is conducted by the
Friends neal Philadelphia. Later i'll
the evening he met some friends in
Philadelphia.
Sunday morning he went to Bur-
lington to visit his warm political
friend Thomas L. Birch, who took him
to Princeton where he addressed the
students of Princeton University, Which
is conducted under the Presbyterian
Influence, i'll the afternoon. There he
met Woodrow Wilson for tie first time
and accepted an invitation to dine with
the Governor.
Sunday evening he addressed a large
audience in the First Baptist Church
in Trenton.
The services in Princeton were con-
fined to the Bryan addresses and All i'll
VOCATION 10y DR.. Francis L. Patton,
president OF Princeton Seminary. But
Willie MI. Bryan's discourse was of a
religious nature, he contributed cpl
grams which were Of significance.
81 have devoted the mature years of
my life to the problems of government"
he said, 4" and expect to continue to
make that my business, but, in fact, l
would rather speak On religion than on
governmental problems. l began to
study public questions when l was 20
years old and religion 6 years before
that. l will be ill the church when l
am out of Politics.
"When l am discussing the problems
of government | must geta majority of
tie people to agree with my views
to carry my ideas into effect, but if, in
discussing religion, l do II heart good
L have not spoken in vain, no matter
how large may be the majority against
me-"
He discussed the subject of faith from
four view points, namely, faith in oDe's
self; faith in ones fellow-men; faith in
God, and faith in Jesus Christ. He
pleaded with the students Of the uni
versity who thronged the gallery to hold
to faith in all these four things. He
said: sIf l were asked What were the
two greatest dangers of students. l
would reply: First, the danger of being
weaned from the mass of the people,
and second, the danger of having faith
in God destroy ed, having too mu ii faith
in what MAI has d one and too little
faith in what God has done.n.
He quCtet often from the writing OF
Tolstoy in reference to religion. He
said that Tolstoy's definition of religion
is: The relation that man fixes be-
tween himself and his God.' Morality
is The outward manifest alton of this
inward relation, l have yet to see a
failure III life That was moi due to a
breakdown of the moral life. Man
must have faith i'll God and also i'll

Great Man.

The late Chief Justice Charles b.
Lore, of Delaware, who died two weeks
ago. was elected to Congress in 1882
and reelected in 1884 by 1900 the
largest majority ever given any candl-
date IN that State. He was the logical
man to be elected to the Senate when
Thomas F. Bayard left the Senate and
went into President Cleveland's cabi-
net, but he was defeated by one vote in
the Democratic caucus. Why vas Mr..
George Gray preferred to MI. Lore?
In Congress MI. Lore made a speech
in favor of the free coinage OF both
gold and silver. Mr.. Gray followed in
the footsteps of Thomas +. Bayard as
an agent of the Belmonts in New York
who are agents and relatives of the
Rothschilds and voted against bimetal-
ism. MI. Gray was taken care of by
being appointed on a monetary COM
mission at 5000 a year, a s%inecure in
addition to his salary of $1,000 as a
Senator and now holds the position Of
U. S. Circuit Judge 10y President Nc
Kinley's appointment.
This bit of history is recited to show
how some eel acquire greatness by
personal ability and merit, while others
have greatness thrust upon them by
serving some special interests.
The Wilmington Board of Education
has adopted resolutions deploring the
death of former Chief Justice Charles
B. Lore, who loaned The city $4,000 to
finish the new high school when work
was stopped on account of the lack of
funds.

motion. The court then withdrew the
submission to the jury and sustained
the defense's demurrer to the com
plant.
In his opinion Judge Reiter stated
that il was unquestionabiy the pur-
pose of the law to take some action to
safeguard the lives of passengers on
railroads and that he was in sympathy
with the intent of the law but he said
that no matter what his feelings in
the matter were he would have to be

OF TAXES

Probably one of the most thankless
and difficult tasks ever handled by any
man is the work of collecting delfn-
quent taxes. which task falls on the
treasurer of every county and in many
counties there remains on the tax dup
licates unpaid taxes that have been ed
linquent for a decade or more. The
same is true in this county, and, on ac-
count of this condition of affairs, the
Legislature of Indiana enacted more
stringent law regarding the payment OF
taxes, a few years ago making 1T the
duty of the county treasurers to see
that the delinquent taxesc are paid.
The last day to pay taxes without the
penalty being added is the first Mon
day in November County Treasurer
Albert Mack has just received a COM
munication from the state board of tax
commissioners, which reads as follows:
ITO the County Treasurer:
Dear Sir: Section S53s Burns r. S.

After a lively contest Gary was selected
as the meeting place for this year AS
a result Gary will witness for three
days in January the largest gathering
of visitors which she has yet been call
ed upon to entertain. Some four hun
dred business men elected delegates
by their local associations from various
parts of the state will take the city by
storm and will carry back to their
friends tales of the wonders OF Gary.
AS it is feared that the hotels will be
una BILE to care for all, arrangements
are being made to accommodate them
in other ways. However, the enter
tainment of the visitors is the most
serious problem. The cost of holding
the convention here will be large
item. Although the treasury of the
Gary Retail Merchants association Is in
a fourishing condition, it is unable to
meet all the necessary expenses. 1t is
, hoped, therefore. that the citizens of
Gary will respond cheerfully to the ex-
igencies of the occasion.
The effect of the convention upon the
business interests of Gary cannot be
over estimated. and all the merchants
of the city irrespective of their men,
bership in the association will be in
I vited to participate.
