WILL PUT PEOPLE
INTO THE SADDLE
Bryan Speaks Of Presidential Prima-
ries. Completion Of Fight.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Secretary
Bryan today told the Common Coun-
sci club here that adoption Of the
presidential primary plan would mark
the completion of the movement by
which the people are coming Into alb
solute control Of the naming OF their
president. Never again, he declared,
would Wall street have anything to
say in the election Of a president.
Mr.. Bryan denounced senate rules
allowing unlimited debate, referring
to them as the "last stand Of the re-
actionaries," which permitted a few
to do what they ought not do and pre-
vented a majority from doing what
ought to be done.
Louis D Brandeis told the club that
the government ought to furnish to
the small industrial, commercial and
business man of the country informa-
ton to enable them to conduct their
affairs with the same scientific man
agement employed by the big business
man or concern with large capital.
This, he asserted, would be the first
step In progressive democracy.

G NOT SURPRISE.
Mission Workers in Philadelphia Elk
pect it.

Philadelphia, Jan. 30.-Regret, but
not surprise today was expressed by
men here interested in foreign mis-
sions when they learned of the estab-
lishment of C~onfucianism as the state
region of China. Much of the organ
lied effort in this country to prevent
such action centred in this city.
II think it is 81 political move" said
the Rev. Frank S. Dobbins, missionary
secretary of the Baptist Foreign Mis-
sionary society.
II do not anticipate any trouble fol
our mission workers as a result, al
though If the government insists upon
their performing any of the formal
acts of C~onfucian worship, there will
be trouble, for they will absolutely
refuse and will walk out. 1t is g
peculiar thing that the scholars OIL
China have not decided among them
selves whether Confucianism Is a re
ligion or not. 1t does not treat of a
God or Gods. 1t has no sacrifices
no prayers. 1t is rather a system
Of ethics, treating Of the relation Of
ruler and subject first, and then of the
relation of parent and child"
The Rev. William G. Roberts, for
mer moderator Of the Presbyterian
general assembly said: II do moi
think the move will injure the mission
work Of any of the Christian
churches"
