Court Justice Wesley O. Howard Of the
Appellate Division Third Department,
spoke his mind OH the subject OF bosses
and politicians who manufacture issues
to suit the demand. At Justice Howard's
left was William Barnes Jr., who has
been referred to occasionally as boss !;
and at his left was Abraham III, Gruber,
who has sometimes been described as one
Of Boss Barnes's bosses
Justice Howard let fly pretty hard, but
when Mr.. Barnes and Mr.. Gruber replied
they spoke mildly, and Toastmaster Lee
Phillips smiled his relief.
Justice Howard advanced a back TO the
land plan to reduce the cost OF living. The
trouble with government nowadays he
said. was that there are too many poll
tcians dabbling with artificial issues.
Their feigned issues he said, their
charges and count srcharges against each
other, their manpuvres and stratagems,
their allegations OF graft and malad-
mnistration, occupy the time and energy
of public servants and consume the re-
sources OF the people"
Mr. Barnes said that rich men are at
tackled nowadays for the very things that
they were acclaimed for forty years ago
and that nobody can expect governments
to improve until individuals and human
nature improve.
Among the other speakers were John A.
Hennessy, Charles u. Littlefeld. Cornelius
+. Burns Of Troy. Or, William p. Mason
and Job Hedges.

TARIFF LAW BETTER

Currency Bill Gives Freedom
From National Bank Mod
OpOly, He Says Also.
"BREAKS MONEY TRUST"
Secretary Of State Takes a
Fling at the House Of
Morgan.

DETROIT, Jan. 10.--Secretary OF state
Bryan In an address to-day before the
Detroit Board OF Commerce said that the
tariff law passed by the present Admins
tration In better than he had anticipated
and that the currency bill will free the
country from the alleged monopoly OF the
national banks
THE tariff bill has blessed the country
because 1t lrhs shown that II is not neces-
sary to have particular party In power
to avert financial panic" said Mr..
Bryan.
In speaking Of the currency bill Mr..
Bryan said:
There are two classes OF bankers OPP
posed to the currency bill. One class is
composed OF those bankers who are In
the business for exploitation and the
other is the unfortunate banker who gets
his thoughts from New York
This bill breaks the money trust. II
transfers the money power from Wall
Street to twelve centres throughout the
country, and when that bill was signed a
few days ago the power OF small
clique OF Wall Street bankers was
broken"
The dissolution Of the interiocking di-
rectorates OF the Morgan firm was
treated humorUusly by the Secretary,
who said:
"A year ago j. Pierpont Morgan the
elder testified before a Senate committee
that the large combinations of capital
could not be broken UP. When asked II
the intcrlocking directorates could not be
broken, he said: Can you unscramble
eggs?'
Il believe that there Is life after
death. and that Mr. Morgan IL looking
down upon from above. or looking vi
at us from below. I wonder what nj
thinks when he sees this unscrambllng
process going on with ]. Il. Morgan the
younger leading the vanguard.
Il have stopped reading humorous fc-
ton. Now when / want good laugh

desire OF the Wall street crowd to un-

seemed to be unnecessary. The boss
