Jones, Pies., Davenport, Iowa many instances more complex, than those preaonted to the men of Wash ington's time. The very highest spirit of patriotism, the most thorough con secration to duty will ho necessary that you may contribute your Bharc toward the solution of these problems. "In preparing for the discharge o these duties one of the necessary ef forts is the cultivation of high moral courage. Some men who without flinching faced a regiment of bayonets proved themselves weak when it came to choosing between a majority and a minority. No greater truth was ever uttered than when Wendell Phillips said: 'One on God'n side is a majority;' and that man does not fulfill his duty as a citizen who is continually hunting for the crowd rathor than for the truth. "The young man must not allign himself with a political party simply because his father or his grandfather voted with that party. His ancestors may have been governed by prejudices to which he need not be subjected, and we know how these prejudices often blind the eyes of men. Differ ing political views are not discredit able to either father or son: and ifc . i - is no discredit to a man that he has made his political allignment in ac cordance with his own investigation and study rather than in line with the prejudices of his father. The prob lems tf popular government would never be solved in a way worthy of the effort if every boy followed his father's party footsteps. This is true because, while fundamental prin ciples do not change, parties do change. The political party that is today devoted to liberty may tomor row become the party of oppression. Today it may be the faithful champion of public interests, and tomorrow tho pliant tool of selfish men. And as parties change, so men must change, regardless of tho attitude of their an cestors, and regardless, also, of their own former position. " 'The greatest good to tho greatest number' is the one thing ever to be kept in view by men and women who live, and hope to continue to live, under the popular form of gov ernment. And in the discharge of our duty as citizens, or as men, we may obtain a guide from a set of rules written by Geonre Wiuhfnirfnn , during his. early years. We are told that as a boy Washington composed certain rules of conduct, concluding with these words: 'Labor to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.' We have every reason to believe that nimarn rtUHMl7i throughout his career he kept that rule in view. He did not possess the quality called genius a quality usually erratic because not well balanced. He was the well balanced man, and stands out like 'a statue in the sky' as the strong, honest and stable char acter which, in the long run, rides down genius. In his day which 'tried men's souls' the call was for char acter; and now again after many stages during which the false has masqueraded as the true the same call is coming from the masses, and in the most harmonious chorus since Washington's time, not for platitudes or pretensions, but for men of char acter. "Character is not of mushroom growth, but on the contrary a struc ture of time by the individual him self. It is the heart of the seed the divine spark in the mortal coil to be developed only by the per son. In that work every one is un der commission from his Creator; his work is open to the inspection of his fellows and that work is the un erring reflection of the builder's soul. To the masses of humanity who are not geniuses, here is the great in spiration from Washington's life. And here is the key which unlocks the mystery of why so many, of the common outstrip the brilliant in this mortal career. "As a citizen of the greatest gov ernment ever built by human hand or as a member of the brotherhood of man, every individual whatever his station in life may be, has a greater opportunity in this day than was presented to any of his prede cessors. "We will be better equipped for the discharge of these duties if we under stand early in life, and before our vigor has been so wasted that we are not able to be of real service to the world, that we are not here as mere machines whose province it is to take and not give; that every one of us has a part to play in life, and the better we act that part as sym pathetic men, considerate of the ne cessities and shortcomings of our fel lows, the better equipped will we-be for the discharge of our duty as citi zens. "As in other men, so in Washington, there are traits that cannot serve as models. We may be as loyal to con science as Washington was, but we need not cultivate his cold and for bidding character. Coldness towards one's fellows is a fad with some men, an inheritance with others, and pure cussedness with a few.

A, heritance or cussedness, It is a hin drance to a man's own happiness and minimizes the service he may render society. "The finest tribute that could be paid to any man and we must not forget that it may, in truth, he paid to many men was given by Robert G. Ingersoll at his brother's grave when he said: 'If everyone to whom he did some loving service were to lay a blossom on his gravejie, would sleep tonight beneath a wilderness o flowers.' ' ' "There are so many heartaches and so many tears, so much grief and so much . sorrow, so many heavy crosses to be borne by disheartened men and frail women, that it ought to be the pleasure, as It Is the duty, of their stronger fellows to lend a hand. "Every tear that falls in, response to another's woe, every handclasp meant to give re-assurance to "a falter ing comrade, every word of encour agement uttered in the presence of a despairing creature, every sacrifice made by the prosperous for the un fortunate, provides healthy seed for fertile soil. It is, at once, a prayer and a benediction; a help -to others and a help to one's self. It blesses him that gives and him that takes; and generous heart and grateful soul need give no audible utterance to the (Continued on Page 17) ' - "PRINCE OF PEACE? ;" The Manila Times, referringtto Mr. Bryan's lecture, "The Prince "of Peace," says: "The lecture of last night revealed Mr. Bryan in a new role, a role with which he is not generally associated that of preacher. "Somehow it seems so foreign for a man whose life has been devoted most ly to politics to deal with Christianity that in spite of his explanatory pro logue and in spite of the harmdhlbus and, may it be said, inoffensive' man ner in which he presented his subject, the element of surprise was not en tirely overcome. "Nevertheless it is we and our ideals rather than Mr. Bryan and his ideals that are mostly at fault. It Is to our shame that we have allowed the method by which we choose as our national representative the best man or the man who represents or is believed by most of his fellow citi zens to represent the best or most ad vantageous measures or principles, to degenerate so that it seems incongru ous to mention politics and religion in the same breath. "By soaring above this arbitrary and degrading limitation and obliter ating the false lines which have been raised, Mr. Bryan again showed him self the large man that he Is. "He also showed that lie is better than great that he is good; and, how ever far astray the American people may sometimes go and however len ient they may at times appear toward those public men who transgress na tional ideas of decency, yet in the end they may be trusted to see true and cast out him who in his private life s believed to be unworthy of pub lic honor. v "Whether Mr. Bryan will ever gain ft! 5ro?d .? stInctIa of being elected the first citizen of the United States Is a question which no man can now answer. But, as many of those who heard him last night remarked, he has achieved more than that, he has made hims.elf worthy of it."
