usually smaller than the rocks we see
about us." And I have known persons
unall of stature who In mind towered
above others with large bodies and
little intellect. I say however much
we may differ in appearance, in dress,
in custom, when you come to know
people you find that they are very
much alike, and when you can touch
the heart you find that the heart of
man differs less than the Xaceor even
the mind of man. And so. I am sure
that if I speak from my heart I can
speak to the hearts of those who lis
ten to mo. (Applause,)
In speaking to students there are
two or three things that I feel like
suggesting. First you will pardon
mo if I say a word in regard to public
speaking, for it has been my lot to do
a great deal of public Speaking, and I
have noticed that in Japan there is a
growing tendency to take part in
public discussion. I entertain this
thoory that every citizen should be
able to present his own ideas to every
other person in order mat the nation
may have the advantage of the wisdom
of all its people, and" students es
pecially need to. fit themselves to pre
sent their views in a way that will
best convey their ideas and most im
press others.
Now what is eloquence? What is
oratory? There are people who
imagine that with the coming of the
newspaper the opportunity of the
orator disappears. There never will
be a time when there will not be a
place fbr eloquence and oratory.
Whenever grear, interests are at stake,
whenever the destinies of men hand
upon decisions, whenever people feel
deeply upon great issues, there will
be elcquence, and if I were going to
define eloquence I would define it as
th.i speech of one who knows what
he is talking about and means what
ha says. There are two things that
the public speaker must have; he must
have information, because if he does
not know anything he Can not tell
anything to anybody else. He must,
in Hie first place know what he is
talking about; he must be informed
upon his subect, and then he must be
earnest. A great Latin poet said
nearly 2,000 years ago:
"If you would draw tears from the
eyesof others,
"i'ourself the sign of grief must
show '
HOG CHOLERA
The New Method of Treating this Destruc
tive Disease Proves a Wonderful Suc
cess. A book, fully explaining the
Treatment, Mailed Free
The new treatment for Hog Cholera ana
Swine Plague has now been thoroughly tested
by a number of the most experienced and prac
tical hopr raisers and breeders of the United
states. It has proven a success beyond ques
tion. These men tried the remedy on very bad
outbreaks of the disease, beginning the treat
ment on them after the hogs were sick and
Y ing off fast, stopped the disease and restored
the herds to nnrmnl hnh.lt.hv nnmUMnns In a few
uys' time, saving almost every sick hog-in the
different herds that were able to take the treat
ment. Its success is phenomenal and it only
remains for our farmers and hog raisers to
leurn this new method of treatment to stamp
the disease out of the country. The method of
imndling the disease is simple and easy to un
aprstand by the ordinary farmer and is along
thoroughly praotioal lines, so that anyone who
v.U read the instructions and make an effort,
can stop the worst outbreaks of the disease
uat ever como and restore his herd to thrift In
a few days' time.

You must feel, if you would havo
o.hers feel. So, the first thought
which I wish to leave with you is
if you arc to have effective public
speaking, you must study tho matter
in hand, something that really must
be said, no matter what it may cost.
Where you have (1) information, and
(2) earnestness, you will surely have
persuasive speech.
The next thing of importance in
public speaking is to state clearly
what you want to say. Present each
thought so that it may be understood.
We sometimes say in our country that
mere are certain "self-evident truths '
truths that are so plain, that one can
not help seeing them. I make the
statement even more broadly, that
not only are there "certain self-evident
truths," but that "all truth is self
evident." The best service you can
render to the truth is to state it so
clearly that it can be understood;
for a truth, so stated, needs no argu
ment in its defense.
Next to clearness or statement is
brevity. Say the thing in just as few
words as possible. I do not know
whether you are sufficiently familiar
with our language to understand me
if I tell you-a little story, to illus
trate what I mean by brevity; for
sometimes it is difficult to catch the
point of a story even when one could
understand a general conversation.
But I will see whether I can make it
plain to you. It will show you how
much can be said in a few words;
I will use the story to illustrate my
meaning. A man once said to an
other man, "Do you drink?" The
other man was a little offended at
the question, and said: "That is my
business, sir." Then the first man
said: "Well, have you any other busi
ness?" (daughter and applause.) I
do not know whether I have been
able to make the point clear to you,
but what I nfean is that in a very few
words a good deaL was- said; and the
more you can say in a few words,
the more effective will be your
speech.
But there are some who do not
aspire to public speaking, and I desire
to say something that will apply to
all of you, on the subject of education.
There are some people who imagine
that only a few of the people need
to be educated, and it used to be the
general opinion that it was sufficient
for any country if just a few of its
people had well-trained minds. I do not
believe in that doctrine. If God had
intended that only a few of the peo
ple should have their minds developed,
He would have given minds to only
a few of them, and the rest of the
people would have been given only
bodies, -without minds. But when God
gave minds to all of us, I think He
gave the best possible proof that He
intended that all of us should have
minds trained. I have met a
better it Is for him and for all thoso
who come within tho circlo of his
influence. It Is necessary, I say, that
there should be, at tho back of tho
education, some useful purpose. I do
not know that I can better descrlbo
tho difference between tho two kinds
of purpose, than by saying that somo
seem to think that the object of lifo
is to got as much for one's self as
possible and to keep It; while othors
feel that the object of life is to do
as much for others as possible. (Ap
plause.) If you visit a cemetery, or
go to tho places where monuments are
erected in memory of the dead, you
will find out what the people buried
there have done for tho world, what
they have given to tho world. Some
people are great, in one way or an
other, they may be learned, or power
ful, but are always thinking of
"something to eat," or something to
drink, or something to wear and,
when they die, the people all just
say, "Very well!" (Loud laughter and
applause.) Then there are those who
arc like the bee, doing something for
the good of others; and when these
die, they leave something behind
them, to make the world glad that
they have lived. I do not know that
I can leave with you a better thought
than this What do you want people
to think about when you are gone?
You have in this land a deep rever
ence for the dead, for your ancestors;
you revere those who lived before
you, and yet, some of them -have
done more for the world than others,
and you distinguish between thoso
who have done largo things and the
others who have not done so much.
And, as we get older, and think of
tho impression that our lives have
made on the world, and how men are
likely to regard us after death, things
that seemed very important to us
when young seem less so. Some
spend their lives trying to make
money, to surround themselves with
riches, others seek to gain high po
sitions, but as they get older, they
find that their place in history will
be determined not by what people
have done for them but by what they
have done for tho people. (Loud and
prolonged applause.)
In conclusion, the assemblage gave
three cheers for Mr. Bryan, on the
call of Dr. Hatoyama.

our
great many people in the last fifteen
years, hut I never yet have met any
person who had too much education,
or a mind too fully stored with useful
information. (Applause.) I am anxious
to see every hoy and every girl in
the world have the highest education
that he or she can receive. I helieve
that it will he much hetter for them
selves, and also for all those ahout
them. Wherever I have seen education
misused, or bringing to the posses
sors less advantage than should have
heen expected, I have found 'that It
was because there was not bacic of
the education the moral purpose, that
there ought to have been. If any
pergon thinks that education is merely
given to him in order to enable him
to get all possible advantage over
other people, then it is not doing
him as much good as it ought to do.
But if he understands that it Is given
him in order to make him more use
ful and helpful, and to .help him to
do a larger work for manKind, men
he can not have too much education.
The more education you give him, the
A SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT
In his speech in Akron, Ohio, Sec
retary Taft told tho people that "Wil
liam J. Bryan would become the suc
cessful leader of the democratic party
and a menace to the prosperity of the
country unless something should be
accomplished by President Roosevelt."
This is not only a significant state
ment, but it is a compliment to the
Nebraska democrat, and, reaumg e
tween the lines of the utterance, the
fact stands out that the "something"
President Roosevelt nmst do to pre
vent democratic success in the nation
is to carry out the reforms for which
Bryan stands and which have given
birth to the term Bryanism. -New Or

a new reward. The result once
