THE LIMELIGHT
Former Leaders of Democratic
Party Undertakes to Out
line Issue

New York, jan 1S.-ProfiteerlnS
and public ownership were declared
tonight by William Jennings Bryan to
be two of the great issues on which
the coming presidential campaign
should be fought. Mr.. Bryan, who
was a guest OF honor at dinner Civ
en- by the Society Of Arts and Sci
ences, assorted that the peace treaty
can not be carried into the campaign
because of the large number Of i'm
portant domestic questions to be de-
cided.
1t referred to proiiteerjng, which he
termed 1.-The darkest blot on this war
the speaker advocated the creation OF
trade commissions in the States and
communities before which citizens
could bring complaints against prot
iteering merchants.
.sWhile the boys blcd abroad, he
said, the American people were bled
at home by conscienceless profteers
Even when the bleeding stopped
abroad it continued at home. The tax
records show how many more million
aires have been created in this coun-
try
Mr.. Bryan denounced the coal op-
orators for the excessive profits which
he said they had made last year and
declared that the people must be given
machinery by which to protect them
selves
"The people can not take a club, y
he said. "The government that dis
arms its citizens must assume the
duty to protect them. There are trlb-
unals ir this country where the mer-
chant can be summoned to answer any
complaint What is needed is trade
commissions for the nation and the
States and in every community where
every citizen, no matter how humble,
can have his complaint heard
Mr.. Bryan reiterated his ideas re-
garding the peace treaty stated at the
Jackson day dinner in Washington.
In regard to the Democratic atti-
tude he declared. ti,at the Importance
of the much debated Article 10 w:ts
very much exaggerated.
Mr.. Bryan said that it was absurd
for any one to talk about "a split
between the president and him. 'It
is only difference on the method, y
he said. Eve agree on the purpose. y
After declaring that he had made
more speeches for the ratification Of
the treaty without reservations than
any other man in America, Mr.. Bry-
an contir nee
81 knew :. was not perfect but who
can expect perfection from the hand
of man? I believe that the president
got better treaty than any one
suspected he could get. Who could
accomplish more among representa-
tives OF 90 nations than President
Wilson? Our president had to fight
single handed and alone against 9th
er nations. 1t was the best he could
bring back"

ROMAN TRIUMPH
is TO BE STAGED
Italy Planning to Celebrate End
of World War With Great
Ceremony

Rome. Dec 30-Iealy has not yet
had its victory celebration. The GER
Semonies which were TO have taken
place early this month had TO be post
poned because Of the d'Annunzio in
cident and the unsettled political con-
ditions. But preparations continue
and when the palms of victory are
handed to the heroes of the great war
early next spring il will b" cele-
bration not excc!led since the most
glorious days OF the Roman Empire.
Workmen are now engaged in
making highways by which th>: troops:
may pass along exactly the route fol-
lowed b.! the forces OF Titus and Con-
stantine when they returned to Rome
along the Appian Way and made their
way through the Roman Forum tc
the capitol. The victorious army vii!

stantine through the arch of Titus
past the ruins Of the Coliseum, which
Titus built after his conquest Of Je

Of the Roman Forum, past what re-
mains of the Temple of the Vestal
Virgins up~to Capitoline Hill to the
Altar of the Father and. the monu-
ment erected 10 the illustrious victor
Emanuel II.
Since the day Of ;hc Empire the
center Of Rome has undergone many
changes and il will require much
temporary reconstruction to make it
possible for troops to follow the an
cient course of victors. Steps have
replaced the ancient highway !e:',i-
ing from the Roman Forum to th'
capitol Consequently it will bt,

these to accommodate the cavalry and
