(politics as woll as In business. That
(is ono of tho groat declarations of
public llfo, In my opinion, gontlo
jmon, and, If that principle is fol
lowed, a man will not Intentionally
go astray, not lntontlonally, at least,
.and It Is a safo guldo In the public
(llfo of this stato and I adopt that
declaration and in tho application of
that declaration, my friends, I will
,say that I will decldo what Is right
on everything that comes beforo mo
by 'my own Judgment, my own con
victions and my own conscience.
That will bo my test.
"In looking down tho vista of
coming yoars and generations in this
country, I can boo, I bollovo, a glori
ous future for this country. I bo
llovo that this country was designed
by God to bo a country whore tho
greatest moasuro of political, civil
and roligious liberty should prevail.
Can any intelligent man think that
when Christopher Columbus crossed
tho Atlantic in his vessels, tho frail
littlo boats encountering times of
storm and unknown dangers, that it
was an accident that he discovered
this country. No, I don't believo it
my friends. I bollovo the hand of
Providence was in It and looking
down tho aisle of future years to
come, may be after I shall have
passed away, I see this country repre
sented by a solid pyramid of granite,
as enduring and lasting as tho Rock
of Ages Itself. I see it surmounting
all of tho good principles and all
other good gifts of this world. I
seo toiling millions climbing up tho
wayside to that monument, devot
ing their energies to olovating and
bonolltting mankind, the wage-worker
enjoying the just proportion of the
products of his labor and every
man enjoying the fullest measure
of political, civil and rollgous liberty.
Surmounting it I seo tho Goddess of
Llborty with tho torch of liberty In
ono hand, enlightening tho world
and shedding its rays all over crea
tion, and in tho othor hand, 'furled to
tho free air of heaven and heaven's
domain, the glorious stars, and
stripes. (Applause.) It Is not en
tirely so now. not as much aa it
should bo but It will come my friends.
Tho picture may bo overdrawn, but,
If so, let us still strive to attain it.
Lot us fix tho Ideal of political right
eousnoss and public attainment
under It and then, if we shall fall
short of tho moaBuro, we shall have
done our duty and, if I can con
tribute one mi to to that attain
ment I shall be glad that I have been
called Into public life. And now,
my. friends, I thank you for your
kind attention and wish you all hap
piness." (Applause.)

TIIE PASSING OF PLUTOORAOT
William Jennings Bryan gave his
lecture on the "Passing of Plutoc
racy," beforo a large audience at
Carnegie Music Hall recently, under
tho auspices of the Emory Methodist
Episcopal Church. Brotherhood.
Mr. Bryan defined the three kinds
of government as the monarchy, the
aristocracy and the plutocracy. The
first represented the power of one
man; the second the power of a few,
and tho third the power of money.
His conviction that the power of
money is passing is based on the
vast increase in world education
within a few years'; the .determina
tion of the people to have moro to
say in government, as Illustrated in
Russia, China, Turkey and Persia in
their new parliaments; the attack in
England on the house of lords and
tho demand in America for direct
election of senators, direct primaries
and the rapid adoption in the Btates
of the initiative, referendum and re
call. "The senate represents the plu
tocracy of America," he declared.
"It is the body farthest removed from
the people. Time and again the house
has passed the bill providing for an
amendment to tho constitution for
tho election of senators by a direct
vote, but the bill has been pigeon
holed in the senate. The nronosed
amendment will be passed by the
next congress, will bo ratified by the
states, and plutocracy will pass from
the senate of the United States."
Referring to the Lorimer scandal
and the admission of Lorimer to a
seat in the senate, he said: "It
seems to be the opinion of the senate
that if a man can keen out of the
penitentiary he is fit for the senate."
Another evidence of the passing of
plutocracy was the enactment of the
income tax amendment to the consti
tution which is now being adopted
by the stateB, and -the original law,
which he assisted to write when he
was in congress. The passing of the
political boss is another reason why
mr. joryan is sure or tne passing of
plutocracy, and he then proceeded to
show how admirably the initiative,
referendum and recall would operate
in the enactment of good laws and
the extinction of the boss.
Mr. Bryan, during the afternoon,
talked for a short time to the stu
dents of the high school. At tho Fort
Pitt he was asked whether he had
knowledge of the movement -for tho
reorganization of Pennsylvania demo
crats and replied that he was not
conversant with it, but "that any
change would be for the better."
At noon a luncheon was given at
tho hotel to Mr. Bryan by M. J.
Caton, and the guests were several
leading democrats. In the evening
at a dinner given the distinguished
visitor by George W. Acklin tho
guests were M. J. Caton, S. J. Toole
Charles A. Fagan, George P. Mur
ray, William J. Barton, John A. Mar-
