PLACES bRyAN'S
EARNING POWER
At $4,000 YEAR

Washington, June 10-The tremendous
earning power Of william j. Bryan as
platform lecturer on the Chautauqua
circuit is not generally appreciated by
the public. An estimate has been made
by the manager of a lyceum bureau, a
man Of wide experience and who has
managed the lecture tours Of many public
men. Based upon Mr. Bryans present
scale of prices, he shows that by
diligently devoting his attention to the
Chautauquas and lyceums, tn eformer
secretary of state can earn more than
s137,CDO year
With Mr. Bryan's physical strength
and great vitality, It is possible for
him to deliver three lectures a day
and he has done it upon more than
one tour. This, however, would re-
quire careful booking with short Jumps
between towns. But II is entirely feasible,
it is stated, to book him throughout the
Chautauqua summer season of about "A
weeks so that he can make two lectures
a day. except Sunday, or total of 70 a
week.
1t Is generally known among the
lyceum bureaus that Mr.. Bryan's terms
are as follows: lie receives a guarantee
of 500 for each lecture. After that
amount is taken in AT the gate he and
the management divide the remainder
$3.50 Under this arrangement Mr..
Bryan's share sometimes runs over 500
for lecture but 1t will average $3.50
right through the season. II is estlma ted
This would give him gross income Of
$i'2n' a week. or $500 for the Chau-
tauqua season of IL weeks
During the remaining IS weeks of the
year this lyceum manager estimated that
Mr. Bryan could average six lectures a
week very nicely. which would give a
gross income of 50. 100 week or 5000
for the IS weeks. This added to the s5s.oO
for the Chautauqua season would give him
a gross income for the year of Sl31. 800. His
expenses would be very small outside Of
his personal travelling expenses
From these figures which are entitled
to credit since they are made by man
ager familiar with the lecture business
it will be seen that Mr.. BRYAN. in laying
down his commission n s secretary of state
with $1,000 salary. is not making any
financial sacrifice. He could rest half the
year and still have an income nearly as
large that of the President of the Uni
ted states
However Mr.. Bryan may have injured
his standing with the public by resign
ing at this critical time" said the lyceum
manager, there is no doubt he will con-
tinue to be one of the best attractions on
the lecture platform. He will have no
trouble in securing all the engagements he
can fill. and there will he no difficulty in
booking him for Is many weeks as he
cares to work His financial prospects
are not dimmed by his retirement from
the cabinet

BRfA ANS RESIGNATION BIG FACTOR
The resignation of Mr.. Bryan be-
cause he believed the note to Germany
might lead to hostilities is factor
which high officials here regard as
likely to have an important influence
on the situation in Berlin. because he
revealed in advance that President
Wilson would reject any protracted
parley and would not surrender the
right of Americans to travel on un-
armed and unresisting merchant ships
oi any nationality. Inasmuch as Mr.
Bryan interpreted the note which was
presented by Ambassador Gerard to-
day as likely to lead to war, much
more strength of purpose. it was ad-
mitted in official quarters, would be
attached to the note on its receipt in
Berlin by the ministry. while German
public opinion would not find in the
text itself any provocation for a rup.
ture in relations.
AS the note was discussed and gos-
slped about in official and Diplomatic
quarters, surprise was general that
Mr.. Bryan had declined to sign the
document. The belief that the note
might have been changed before it was
finallN dispatched after Mr.. Bryan re.
lected its contents was dissipated by
Secretary Lansing, who said he had
been directed by the President "a

was believed in many quarters might
result in correspondence that might

was learned, too, that copies of the
