If an annual salary Of $4,000 for tho

maintain him and his family in a

This question was asked William
jennings Bryan, Secretary OF State.
here this afternoon after he had de-
lvcrcd q Chautauqua lecture. for which
he received $3.50.
NO. l would not advocate the in
crease. as suggested" replied Mr..
Bryan. for the salary is sufficient to
meet the expenses OF the Secretary of
State when those expenses are confined
TO his home and official life. This.
however. is not the case with me. The
fact ought not to be overlooked. and
1t ought not to be necessary for me to
mention. that In my life are certain
fixed charges which must be met. These

Mr.. Bryan was asked If the recall OF
Ambassador Wilson from Mexico is
permanent. He said that he was not
in position to discuss official matters
while absent from Washington
The subject OF Mr.. Bryan's lecture
here to day was The Making OF a
Man" 1t was delivered In the big au-
ditorium tent. over 1000 summer resi-
dents and natives paid 81. 10 cents and
