introduced by Senator MARITIME of New
Jersey as the man closer to the hearts
of the American people than any other
man who has lived the new Secretary
of State was received with great en-
thusiasm. Standing for several min
utes, those present cheered him again
and again as he rose to make his speech.
Il am buster now than I ever was be-
FORE" said Secretary Bryan, amid a
wave of applause. in beginning his ad
dress. He referred to his present posi-
ton by saying he was constantly afraid
that he would have to say. Il am
sorry. but the President has not taken
up that question yet"
Time to Rejoice Coming Soon.
Speaking Of the fight of the Irish for
home rule, he declared that the time Is
| coming soon when the Irish will be able
| to rejoice with new vigor. He called
attention to the fact that the home rule
bill has already passed the house of
| commons. and seems certain to become
| a law because of the new restrictions on
the power of the house Of lords.
Perhaps unconsciously, he said, the
Irish have linked themselves in their fight
with all the people throughout the world
60 thu OFT
that the house of lords stood out against
| this bill was largely the cause OF the
| lords downfall. he said.
This marked the beginning of the end
Secretary Bryan continued. Thus the
| Irish people became the allies of all peo-
| pie struggling for liberty. Ireland has
linked herself in very marked way
| with the movement for popular govern
ment. The people who are lighting for
| home rule little realized that they were
| forwarding a worldwide movement"
Regard for Women a Factor,
Secretary Bryan declared that the love
of the Irish for home and religion has
been largely responsible for the success
| of the Irish people. The position of
woman in the Irish home has always
been an honor to the Irish.

Turning to the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Wilson. he said that to him the
manner in which the entire ceremony was
tconducted and received by the people
had great significance.

| tinued. 1.-TWO things impressed me. The
| first was that the government changed

President marched arm-in-arm along with
the new President.
Impressed by Senate Scene.
1.-THE other thing which impressed me
| was the scene in the Senate chamber be-
fore the Inauguration of the President.
There were all who represented authority
in the United States. There were the
outgoing and the incoming Presidents.
the justices Of the courts. the members of
| the Senate and House and many gov
| ernors and state officials. There, too.
were the representatives Of every civilized
| nation in the world.
| "All of these men representing all the
| authority there is in the world stood up
| in a simple manner at the beginning of
| that ceremony, while man of religion
prayed They stood while the aid Of a
| Higher Authority was invoked"
j Secretary Bryan said that the presence
| of loving ones at home to cheer and en-
i
over ali are the things most needed to
| encourage and aid men to fight for the
| right.
"A man begins in God IL he begins at
ALL he concluded.
