secretary of state.f spoke before z 5O0 persons yesterday afternoon at Polls theatre, when, under the auspices or the Loyal Order of Moose, he appear ed to talk of Peace and Fraternal- ism.
 While carefully avoiding any refer cnce to the present administration at Washington MT. Bryan appeared to many to be talking in allegory, at times, and his plea for toleration of man whose opinions differ from those Of others created profound impress sion-
 Always a master of words, MT. Bry- an pleased the crowd with his force full epigrans, his narration, his wit, and he brought tears to the eyes Of some when he spokeeof patnetlo oc- curreuces.
 MT Bryan made 6. plea for univers- al peace which is to be attained, he declared. by reasoning together. a re- aliKation that dtfference of opinion is not a difference of purpose, and that It is not necessary to kill one another to make fone,s self understood
 When the famous leader appeared on the stage the crowd cheered tre- mendously The. cheers gave no sign of abating after a minute or two. I aIno then the audience arose and cheereds more Iust11y It might have contin- #71ed many minutes more har not MT. Bryan interrupted.
 Tt Is only now about three months that I have been privileged to address you as brothers Just three months # ago in San Diego I was made mem Der of this great order. I have had. tw1thstandfng. the privilege Of meet ing the national representatives or this order in their convention It was Brother John IAs Lynch who first made me acquainted with the work of the ss Loyal Order of Moose. It was at his fnvatation that visited San Diego. then had the opportunity xof meeting the director general
 Mr. Bryan then referred to the model village that is being conducted near. 3rChieago by the order, called Moose heart. He outlined the aims and prog ress of this plan and told Of the edu-a HcafionaI and broad enlng process. through which POO boys and girls there, children Of members or the order are Undergoing.
 It was in the discussion of these chi1dren that MT Bryan asserted, Extraordinarily t-The man or woman. who is not interested in children can hardly claim a place in civilized 3anonnnunity.
 Mr Bryan started by discussing the order Of Moose and then launched into general discussion of fraternity life (IeverIy, he worked in. the subject o4 peace as applied to haternalism and showed that the spirit Of bHotherhood as depicted in the fraternity in a larger sense, can be used yY1ln Ih9= aim of universal brotherhood and as 2 natural result, universal peace.
 The fraternity such as the Moose he said is brotherhood practically real- ized- He said the order to which he belonged Is thes frateln nal idea. er1-s bodied in an actual living experiment..
 The three aims, Purity, Aid, and Progress,' z were the subject of an fn- teresting discussion by Mr. Bryan He showed why tssey are A1 the correct sequence. A man must first purify himself. he said He must build up a. character for himself, remembering always. that he was created in the Image and likeness of God.
 Then, declared MT Bryan, the man mnus think of others sOthers, he ary line between selfishness and al isrn the beginning is half the battle. A man cannot begin by purifying him self and then stop, or he will soon 1oses those attributes of publication he has acquired. Man does not stand still Strength comes to us andswe labor for others One wf1o starts out to render aid is aatonfshed at the number of worthy things he finds to which he can render aid.
 for others there can be no disappofnt4 nnent.s
 Ar Bryan here referred to the man of whom one reads. who ended his life because n9 uaO HnOL1lnSzz lDf 1lN6 sIOT.s The speaker showed wherein this man could make life interesting for him self by aiding others.
 The natural result of the purity-aid Combination, MT. Bryan asserted, is progress. One hears, he said, persons assert that they wish they lived in 4 some age past so they could do good. ] s.If had my choice of the age in which was to 1ive,'' he said. @Id rather live today than in any age past. TE- A tr-.- Il. to render service to all the teerning races of mankind than it was two cen turies ago for man to render services to all the inhabitants Of the little val ley in which he Hved.''
 If appeared the audience. which was fntent1y listening for some reference to the situation of the United States in regard to the warning nations, that MT. Bryan was touching on this point when he said:
 value Of the brain and underestimate the heart. The brain was succeeded in perfectfng a telegraph that will enabIes one to make his voice heard 10, GOO miles. The heart howeter, can make itsS meaning felt tho a--MorId over and Throughout the ages. The good thoughts in the heart 5f one who dies have their influence tEousands of years ster he has gones''
 Then again, MT Bryan said: A difference ofSopinion doesn't necessa- rily mean a difference of purpose.''
 Speaking of the necessity of united effort he said You can't measure world civilization by the progress Of few. Further. humanity is so linked together, man to man that one cannot Benefit himself except as he helps all and makes united advance possfble..s
 Touching on the va1ne of a frafer- ntty, Mr. Bryan said. They don't ask a mans ancestry They don't emasure a man by what his father was but by what he is. He doesn't have te pre- sent his family tree He isn't judged moral North.''
 He said that fraaernftfes are really
