NEBRASKAN NAMED FOR PRESI
DENT BY DENVER CONVENTION.
DUNN STIRS VOLCANIC UPROAR
Delegates Go Wild When Omaha Man
Concludes His Speech Putting Bry
an in Nomination Intensity of Dem
onstration Threatened Panic.
Denver, July 10. William Jennings
Bryan was this morning nominated fur
president of the United States by the
Democratic national convention.
The nomination was made at 3:40
o'clock amid scenes of tumultuous
enthuRlasm, the vast assemblage
breaking en masse Into a frenzied
demonstration of intensely dramatic
tribute to the Democratic leader.
- The first and only ballot gave Bryan
the commanding and decisive total of
&92 votes, or 221 more htan enough
to nominate, with Gray, 5914, Johnson
46.
The announcement was greeted
with a perfect pandemonium of sound
and motion, floor and galleries joining
in deafening, long continued tumult.
The decisive ballot was followed
with motions from the Gray and John
son leaders to make the nomination
unanimous and by acclamation, which
was carried with an echoing choru3
of approval in which every state
joined its voice, with but one dissent
ing vote from the state of Georgia.
The convention adjourned at 3:50
until o'clock this afternoon, when the
candidate for . .ce president will be
nominated.
Whirlwind of Demonstration.
The speech placing William J. Bry
an in nomination awakened a whirl
wind of demonstration, rivaling in in
tensity and duration the record break
ing tribute of Wednesday. The
WILLIAM J. BRYAN,
names of George Gray of Delaware
and Governor Johnson of Minnesota
were also placed fn nomination, with
demonstrations of approval from their
limited followings.
The speech placing William J. Bry
an in nomination was made by Igna
tius J. Dunn of Nebraska, a youthful
orator of fire and eloquence, whose
closing phrase stirred' the vast assem
bly into wild demonstration.
"I nominate," he exclaimed, "as the
standard bearer of our party the man
who, in the thrilling days of '96 and
1900, bore the battle-scarred banner
of Democracy with fame as untar
nished as the crusaders of old Amer
ica's great commoner, Nebraska's
gifted son, William Jennings Bryan."
Immediately perfect pandemonium
of sound and motion was unloosened,
as delegates and spectators rose en
masse and joined' in the reverberating
chorus of tribute to the Nebraska can
didate. The standards of the states
were wrenched from their places and
borne through the hall to the plat
form, while banners bearing the por
trait of the Nebraskan were waved
aloft, and the multitude joined in long
continued tribute. At times the in
tensity of the demonstration threat
ened a panic. One woman was borne
out fainting.
The platform was adopted unani
mously. Text of the Resolutions.
"We, the representatives of the
Democracy of the United States, in
national convention assembled, re
affirm our faith in and pledge our loy
alty to the principles of our party.
"We rejo'ce at the increasing signs
of an awakening throughout the coun
try. The various investigations have
traced graft and political corruption to
the representatives of predatory
wealth and laid bare the unscrupulous
methods by which they have de
bauched elections and' preyed upon the
defenseless public through the sub
servient odcials whom they have
raised to place and power. The con
science of the nation is now aroused
science of the nation is now
aroused to free . the govern
ment from the grip of those who
ernment from the grip of those who
have made it a business asset of the
favor-seeking corporations; it must
become again a people's government
and be administered in all its depart
ments according to the Jeffersonian
maxim. 'Equal rights to all and special
privileges to none.' Shall the people
rule? 13 the overshadowing issue
which manifests itself In all the ques
tions now under discussion.
Officeholders.
"Coincident with the enormous in
crease In expenditures la a like addi
tion tJ the number of ottlcLolders.
Luring tho past year 23.784 were add
9l, costln; $16,150,000. and in the past
tlx years of the It.'yubllcan admin
istration the total number cf new of
fices created, aside from many com
missions, has been 9K.318, entailing an
additional expenditure of nearly $70.
000,000, as against only 10,279 new of
fices creuted-under the Cleveland and
McKlnley administrations, which In
volved an expenditure of only $.000.
000. We denounce this great and
growing Increase in the number of of
ficeholders as not only unne .ary
and wasteful, but also as clearly indi
cating a deliberate purpose on the
part of the administration to keep the
Republican party in power at public
expense by thus Increasing the num
ber of Its retainers and dependents.
Such procedure we declare to be no
less dangerous and corrupt than t'.ie
open purchase of voters at the polls.
Economy in Administration. -
"The Republican congress in the
session just ended has made appropri
ations amounting to $1,008,000,000, ex
ceeding the total expenditures of the
past fiscal year by $90,000,000, and
leaving a deficit of more than $60,000,
000 for the fiscal year. We denounce
the heedless wa3te of the people's
money, which has resulted in this ap
palling increase, as a shameful viola
tion of all prudent conditions of gov
ernment as no less than a crime
against the millions of workingmen
and women, from whose earnings the
great proportion of these colossal
sums must be extorted through exces
sive tariff exactions and other indi
rect methods. It is not surprising
that in the face of this shocking rec
ord the Republican platform contains
no reference to economical administra
tion or promise thereof in the future.
We demand that a stop be put to this
frightful extravagance and insist upon
the strictest economy In every depart
ment compatible with frugal and ef
ficient administration.
House of Representatives.
"The house of representatives was
designed by the fathers of the consti
tution to be the popular branch of our
government, responsive to the public
will. The house of representatives, as
controlled in recent years by the Re
publican party, has ceased to be a
deliberative and legislative body, re
sponsive to the will of a majority of
its members, but has come under the
absolute domination of the speaker,
who has entire control of its delibera
tions and powers of legislation. We
Lave observed with amazement the
popular branch of our federal govern
ment helpless to obtain either the con
sideration or enactment of measures
desired by a majority of its members.
Legislative government becomes a
failure when one member, in the per
son of the speaker, is more powerful
than the entire body.
"We demand that the house of rep
resentatives shall again become a
deliberative body, controlled by a ma
jority of the people's representatives
and not by the speaker, and wa pledge
ourselves to adopt such rules and reg
ulations to govern the house of repre
sentatives as will enable a majority of
its members to direct its deliberations
and control legislation.
Misuse of Patronage.
"We condemn, as a violation of the
spirit of our institutions, the action of
the present chief executive in using
the patronage of his high office to se
cure the nomination of one of his cab
inet officers. A forced succession in
the presidency is scarcely less repug
nant to public sentiment than is life
tenure in that office. No good inten
tion on the part of the executive and
no virtue in the one selected can just
ify the establishment of a dynasty.
The right of the people to freely se
lect their officials is inalienable and
cannot be delegated.
Publicity of Campaign Contributions.
"We demand federal legislation for
ever terminating the partnership
which his existed between corpora
tions of the country and the Republic
an party under the expressed or im
plied agreement that in return for the
contribution of great sums of money
wherewith to purchase elections they
should be allowed to continue sub
stantially unmolested in their efforts
to encroach upon the rights of the
people.
"Any reasonable doubt as to the
existence of this relation has been for
ever dispelled by the sworn testimony
of witnesses examined in the insur
ance investigation in New York, and
the open admission unchallenged by
the Republican national committee
of a single individual, that he himself,
at the personal request of the Repub
lican candidate for the presidency,
raised' over a quarter of a million of
dollars to be used in a single state
during the closing hours of the last
campaign. In order that this practice
shall be stopped for all time, we de
mand the passage of a statute punish
ing with imprisonment any officer of a
corporation who shall either contrib
ute on behalf of, or consent to the
contribution by, a corporation of any
money or thing of value to be used in
furthering the election of a president
or vice president of the United States
or of any member of the congress
thereof.
"We denounce the action of the Re
publican party having complete con
trol of the federal government for its
failure to pass the bill, introduced in
the last congress, to compel the publi
cation of the names of contributors
and the amounts contributed toward
campaign funds, and point to the evi
dence of their insincerity when they
sought by an absolutely irrelevant and
impossible amendment to defeat the
passage of the hill. As a further evi
dence of their intention to conduct
their campaign in the coming contest
with vast sums of money wrested
from favor-seeking corporations, we
call attention to the fact that the re
cent Republican national convention
at Chicago refused, when the issue
was presented to it, to declare against
such practices.
"We pledge the Democratic party
to the enactment of a law prohibiting
any corporation from contributing to
a campaign fund and any individual
from contributing an amount above a
reasonable minimum and providing for
the publication before election of all
such contributions above a reasonable
minimum.
Rights of the States.
"Believing with Jefferson in the
support of the state government in all
their rights as the most competent
administration for our domestic con
cerns and' the surest bulwark against
anti-republican tendencies, and in the
preservation of the general govern
ment in Its whole constitutional vigor,
as the sheet anchor of our peace at
home and safety abroad, we are op
posed to the centralization implied in
the suggestions, now frequently made,
that the powers of the general govern
ment should be extended by executive
and legislative action ail by judicial
construction. There is no twilight
zone between the nation and the state
in which exploiting interests can take
refuge from both, and it is as neces
sary that the federal government
shall exercise the powers delegated
to it as it is that the state govern
ment shall use the authority reserved
to them, but we insist that the fed
eral remedies for the regulation of
interstate commerce and for the pre
vention of private monopoly shall be
added to, not substituted for, state
remedies.
Tariff.
"We welcome the belated promise
of tariff reform now offered' by the
Republican party in tardy recog
nition of the righteousness of the
Democratic position on this question,
but the people cannot safely entrust
the execution of this important work
to a party which is so deeply obligated
to the highly protected interests as is
the Republican party. We call atten
tion to the significant fact that the
promised relief was postponed until
after the coming election an election
to succeed in which the Republican
party must have that same suppor
from the beneficiaries of the high
protective tariff as it has always here
tofore receiver from them; and to the
further fact that during years of unin
terrupted power, no action whatever
has been taken by the Republican
congress to correct the admittedly ex
isting tariff iniquities.
"We favor an immediate revision of
the tariff by the reduction of import
duties. Articles entering into compe
tition with trust-controlled products
should be placed upon the free list,
and material reductions should be
made in the tariff upon the necessar
ies of life, especially upon articles com
peting with such American manufact
ures as are sold abroad more cheaply
than at home; and graduate reductions
should be made in such other sched
ules as may be necessary to restore
the tariff to a revenue basis.
"Existing duties have given to paper
manufacturers a shelter behind which
they have organized combinations to
raise the price of pulp and of paper,
thus imposing a tax upon the spread
of knowledge.
"We demand the immediate repeal
of the tariff on wood pulp, print paper,
lumber, timber and logs and that these
articles be placed upon the free list.
Trusts.
"A private monopoly Is indefensible
and intolerable. We, therefore, favor
the vigorous enforcement of the crim
inal law against guilty trust magnates
and officials, and demand the enact
ment of such additional legislation as
rnaybe necessary to make it impossi
ble for a private monopoly to exist in
the United States. Among the addi
tional remedies, we specify three:
First, a law preventing a duplication
of directors among competing corpora
tions; second, a license system which
will, without abridging the right of
each state to create corporations, or
its right to regulate as it will foreign
corporations doing business within
its limits, make it necessary for a
manufacturing or trading corporation
engaged' in interstate commerce to
take out a federal license before it
shall be permitted to control as much
as 25 per cent of the product in which
it deals, the license to protect the pub
lie from watered stock and to prohibit
the control by. such corporation cf
more than 50 per cent of the total
amount of any product consumed in
the United States, and third, a lav
compelling such licensed corporations
to sell to all purchasers in all parts
of the country on the same terms,
after making due allowance for cost of
transportation.
Railroad Regulation.
"We assert the right of congress to
exercise complete control over inter
state commerce and the right of each
state to exercise like control over
commerce within its borders.
"We demand such enlargement of
the powers of the interstate commerce
commission as may be necessary to
compel railroads to perform their
duties as common carriers and pre
vent discrimination and extort con
fidence. "We favor the efficient supervision
and rate regulation of railroads en
gaged in interstate commerce. To
this end we recommend the valuation
of railroads by the interstate com
merce commission, such valuation to
take into consideration the physical
value of the property, the original
cost and the cost of reproduction and
all elements of value that will render
the valuation fair and just.
"We favor such legislation as will
prevent the railroads from engaging
in business which brings them into
competition with their shippers, also
legislation which will assure such re
duction In transpoi tatiou rates as con
d.ii.o will pei:iit. are be:;;? taken
to avoid reduction that would compel
a reluction of wages, prevent ade
quate service cr do injustice to legiti
mate investments.
"We heartily approve the laws pro
hibiting the pas and the rebate and
we lavor any further necessary legis
lation to restrain, correct and prevent
abuses.
"We favor such legislation as wil
increase the power of the interstate
commerce commission, giving to it the
Initiative with reference to rates and
transportation charges put into effect
by the railroad companies, and per
mitting the interstate commerce com
mission, on its own initiative, to de
clare a rate illegal and as being more
than should be charged for such ser
vice. That the present law relating
thereto Is inadequate, by reason of the
fact that the interstate commerce
commission is without power to fix
or Investigate a rate until complaint
has been made to it by the shipper.
"We further declare that all agree
ments of traffic or other associations
of railway agents affecting interstate
rates, service or classification, shall
be unlawful unless filed with and ap
proved by the interstate commerce
commission.
"We favor the enactment of a law
giving to the interstate commerce
commission the power to inspect pro
posed railroad tariff rates or sched
ules before they shall take effect and,
if they be found to be unreasonable,
to initiate an adjustment thereof.
Banking.
"The panic of 1907, coming without
any legitimate excuse, when the Re
publican party had for a decade been
in complete control of the federal
government, furnishes additional proof
that it Is either unwilling or incom
petent to protect the interests of the
general public. It has so linked the
country to Wall street that the sins
of the speculators are visited upon
the whole people. While refusing to
rescue the wealth producers from
spoliation at the hands of the stock
gamblers and speculators in farm
products, it has deposited treasury
funds, without interest and without
competition, in favorite banks. It
has used an emergency for which it
is largely responsible to force through
congress a bill changing the basis of
bank currency and' inviting market
manipulation, and has failed to give to
the 15,000,000 depositors of the coun
try protection in their savings.
"We believe that insofar as the
needs of commerce require an emer
gency currency, such currency should
be issued, controlled by the federal
government and loaned on adequate
security to national and state banks.
We pledge ourselves to legislation un
der which the national banks shall be
required to establish a guarantee
fund for the prompt payment of the
depositors of any insolvent national
bank, under an equitable system
which sliall be available tb all state
banking institutions wishing to use it.
"We favor a postal savings bank, ii
the guaranteed bank cannot be se
cured, and that it be constituted so a3
to keep the deposited money in the
communities where it is established.
But we condemn the policy of the Re
publican party in providing postal
savings banks under a plan of conduct
by which they will aggregate the de
posits of rural communities and re
deposit the same while under govern
ment charge in the banks of Wall
street, thus depleting the circulating
medium of the producing regions and
unjustly favoring the speculative mar
kets. Income Tax.
"We favor an income tax as part of
our revenue system and we urge the
submission of a constitutional amend
ment specifically authorizing congress
to levy and collect a tax upon individ
ual and corporate incomes, to the end
that wealth may bear its proportionate
share of the burdens of the federal
government.
Labor and Injunctions.
"The courts of justice are the bul
wark of our liberties and we yield to
none in our purpose to maintain their
dignity. .Our party has given to tha
bench a long line of distinguished
judges who have added to the respect
and confidence in which this depart
ment must be zealously maintained.
We resent the attempt of the Repub
lican party to raise a false issue re
specting the judiciary. It is an unjust
reflection upon a great body of our
citizens to assume that they lack re
spect for the courts. It is the func
tion of the courts to interpret the
laws which the people create, and if
the laws appear to work economical,
social or political injustice, it is our
duty to change them. The only basis
upon which the integrity of our courts
can stand is that of unswerving jus
tice and protection of life, personal
liberty and property. If judicial proc
esses may be abused, we should guard
them against abuse.
"Experience has proven the neces
sity of a modification of the present
law relating to Injunctions and we re
iterate the pledges of our national
platforms of 1896 and 1904 in favor of
the measure which passed the United
States senate In 1896, but which a Re
publican congress has ever since re
fused to enact, relating to contempts
in federal courts and providing for
trial by jury in cases of indirect con
tempt. "Questions of judicial practice have
arisen, especially in connection with
industrial disputes. We deem that
the parties to all Judicial proceedings
should be treated with rigid impartial
ity and that Injunctions should not be
issued in any case in which injunc
tions would not issue if no industrial
dispute were involved.
"The expanding organization of in
dustry makes it essential that there
should be no abridgement of the
right oi wage earners and producers
to organize for the protection of
wages and the Improvement of labor
conditions, to the end that such labor
organizations and their members
should not be regarded as illegal com
binations in restraint of trade.
"We favor the eight-hour day on all
government work.
"We pledge the Democratic party
to the enactment of a law by con
gress, as far as the federal Jurisdic
tion extends, for a general employers'
liability act, covering injury to body
or loss of life of employes.
"We pledge the Democratic party
to the enactment of a law creating a
department of labor, represented sep
arately in the president's cabinet,
which department shall Include the
subject of mines and mining.
Merchant Marine.
"We believe in the upbuilding of
the American and merchant marine
without new or additional burdens up
on the people and without bounties
from the public treasury.
The Navy.
"The constitutional provision that a
navy shall be provided and main
tained means an adequate navy, and
we believe that the Interests of this
country would best be served by hav
ing a navy sufficient to defend the
coasts of this country and protect
American citizens wherever their
rights may be In Jeopardy.
Protection of American Citizens.
"We pledge ourselves to insist upon
the just and lawful protection of our
citizens at home and abroad, and to
use all proper methods to secure for
them, whether native born or natural
ized, without distinction of race or
creed, the equal protection of law
and the enjoyment of all rights and
privileges open to them under our
treaty; and if, under existing treaties,
the right of travel and sojourn is de
nied to American citizens, or recog
nition is withheld from American
passports by any countries on the
ground of race or creed, we favor
prompt negotiations with the govern
ments of s ;h countries to secure the
removal of these unjust discrimina
tions. "We demand that all over the world
a duly authenticated passport issued
by the government of the United
States to an American citizen shall
be proof of the fact that he is an
American citizen, and shall entitle
him to the treatment due him as such.
Civil Service.
"The laws pertaining to the civil
service should be honestly and rigidly
enforced, to the end that merit ami
ability shall be the standard of ap
pointment and promotion rather thtia
services rendered to the political
party.
Pensions.
"We favor a generous pension pol
icy, both as a matter of justice to th ?
surviving veterans and their depe:..l
ents and because it tends to relieve
the country of the necessity of main
taining a large standing army.
Health Bureau.
"We advocate the organization of all
existing national public health agen
cies into a national bureau of public
health, with such power over sanitary
conditions connected' with factories,
mines, tenements, child labor and such
other subjects as are properly with
in the jurisdiction of the federal gov
ernment and do not interfere with the
power of the states controlling public
health agencies.
Agricultural and Mechanical Education
"The Democratic party favors the
extension of agricultural, mechanical
and educational industry. We, there
fore, favor the establishment of dis
trict agricultural experiment stations,
the secondary agricultural and me
chanical colleges in the several states.
Popular Election of Senators.
"We favor the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people and regard this reform as the
gateway to other national reforms.
Oklahoma.
"We welcome Oklahoma to the sis
terhood of states and heartily con
gratulate her on the auspicious begin
ning of a great career.
Arizona and New Mexico.
"The national Democratic party has
for the last sixteen years labored for
the admission of Arizona and New
Mexico as separate states of the union
and recognizing that each possesses
every qualification to successfully
maintain separate state governments,
we favor the immediate admission of
these territories as states separate.
Grazing Lands.
"The establishment of rules and reg
ulation, if any such are necessary, in
relation to free grazing on public
lands outside of forest or other res
ervations until the same shall eventu
ally be disposed of, should be left to
the people of the states respectively
in which such lands may be situated.
Waterways.
"Water furnishes the cheapest
means of transportation and the na
tional government, having the control
of navigable waters, should improve
them to their fullest capacity. We
earnestly favor the immediate adop
tion of a liberal and comprehensive
plan for improving every water course
in the union which is justified by the
needs of commerce, and to secure that
end we favor when practicable the
connection of the great lakes with the
navigable rivers and with the gulf
through the Mississippi river, and the
navigable rivers with each other, and
the rivers, bays and sounds of our
coasts with each other by artificial
canals, with a view to perfecting a
system of inland waterways to he
navigated by vessels of standard
draught. , -
"We favor the co-ordination of the
various services of the government
connected' with waterways in one ser
vice, for the purpose'of aiding in the
completion of such a system of In
land waterways, and we favor the we
ut.ou of u fund amnle for continuous
work, which shall be conduc ted under
the dlrectljii of a commission of ex
perts, to be authorized by law.
Post Roads.
"We favor federal aid to utate and,
local authorities in the construction,
a lid maintenance of post roads.
Telegraph and Telephone.
"We pledge the Democratic party
to the enactment of a law to regulat-a
the rates and services of telegraph
and telephone companies engaged la
the transmission of meatuses between
the states under the Jurisdiction of
the interstate commerce commission.
Natural Resources.
"We repeat the demand for internal
development, and for the conservation
of our natural resources, contained In
previous platforms, the enforcement
of which Mr. Roosevelt has vainly
sought from a reluctant party; and
to that end we Insist upon the preser
vation, protection and replacement of
needed forests, the preservation of the
public domain for homeseekers, the
protection of the national resources la.
timber, coal, Iron and oil against mo
nopolistic control, the development of
our waterways for navigation and
every other useful purpose, including
the irrigation of arid lands, the recla
mation of swamp lands, the clarifica
tion of streams, the development of
water power, and the preservation of
electric power generated by thl3 nat
ural force, from the control of monop
oly, and to such end we urge the exer
cise of all powers, national, statu an 1
municipal, both separately and iu co
operation. "We insist upon a policy of admini
stration of our forest reserves which
shall relieve it of the abuses which
have arisen thereunder, and which,
shall, as far as practicable, conform to
the police regulations.
Hawaii.
"We favor the-application of prin
ciples of the land laws of the Unlteii
States to our newly acquired territory,
Hawaii, to the end that the public
lands of that territory may be hell
nd utilized for the benefit of bon
fide homesteaders.
Philippines.
"We condemn the experiment la
imperialism as an inexcusable blunder
which has involved us in an enorrnou
expense, brought us weakness instead!
of strength and laid our nation open
to the charge of abandoning a funda
mental doctiine of self government.
We favor an immediate declaration of
the nation's purpose to recog; ze th
independence of the Philippine island
as soon as a stable government can be
established, such independence to ba
guaranteed by us as we guarantee the
independence of Cuba until the neu
tralization of the islands can be se
cured by treaty with other powers.
In recognizing the independence cf
the Philippines our government should
retain such land as may be necessary
for coaling .stations and naval bases.
Alaska and Porto Rico.
"We demand for the people of
Alaska and Porto Rico the full en
joyment of the rights and privileges
of a territorial form of government
and the officials appointed to adminis
ter the government of all our terri
tories and the District of Columbia
should be thoroughly qualified by pre
vious bona fide residence.
Panama Canal.
"We believe the Panama canal will
prove of great value to our country,
and favor its speedy completion.
Pan-American Relations.
"The Democratic party recognizes
the importance and advantage of de
veloping closer ties of pan-American
friendship and commerce between the
United Stales and her sister nationa
of Latin-America and favors the tak
ing of such steps, consistent with
Democratic policies, for better ac
quaintance, greater mutual confidence
and larger exchange of trade, as will
bring lasting benefits not only to the
United' States, but to this group of
American republics having constitu
tions, forms of government, ambitions
and interests akin to our own.
Asiatic Immigration.
"We favor full protection, by both
national and state governments with
in their respective spheres, of all for
eigners residing in the United States
under treaty, but we are opposed to
the admission of Asiatic immigrants
who cannot be amalgamated with our
population or whose presence among
us would raise a race issue and in
folve us in diplomatic controversies
with Oriental powers.
Foreign Patents.
"We believe that where an Amer
ican citizen holding a patent In a for
eign country is compelled to manu
facture under his patent within a cer
tain time, similar restrictions should
be applied in thi3 country to the citi
zen or subjects of Euch a country.
Conclusion.
"The Democratic party stands for
democracy; the Republican party has
drawn to P.self all that Is aristocratic
and plutocratic.
"The Democratic party is the cham
pion of equal rights and opportunities
to all; the Republican party is the
party of privilege and private monop
oly. The Democratic party listens to.
the voice of the whole people and
guages progress by the prosperity and
advancement of the average man; the
Republican party is subservient to the
comparatively few, who are the bene
ficiaries of governmental favoritism.
We Invite the co-operation cf all, re
gardless of previous political affilia
tions or past differences, who desire
to preserve a government of the peo
ple, by the people and' for the people,
and who favor such an adminlstratloa
of government as wi'l Insure, as well
as human wisdom can, that each citi
zen shall draw from society a reward,
commensurate with his contrlbutlea.
to the welfare of society."
