IOB THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE; AUGUST 31, 1913. X An Impression of William Jennings Bryan (Oopyrisht, 1913. by Franlc O. Carpenter.) ..ASTUNtlTOH. At. 341 want to Ktra too iu Impression of Mr. W. J, Bryan, not of Mr. Bryan, tba premier of thU administration, who la to steer our chip of stato orer the tarbolent reaa of International diplomacy, nor of Mr. Bryan, tho silver-tonjrucd lec turer, who aways his audiences by hla rounded periods and melodious voice, nor of Mr. Bryan, tho politician, tho blessed asd tbo damned of two zrcat political parties; but rather of William J. Bryan, tho man, away from tho department, away from tho platform, outside hie Editorial sanctum, facs to faceand I might almost aay, heart to heart In hla own home. I havo known Itr, Bryan casually for many years. I met him when ho first cam a to congress, at the gjo of to, now almost a quarter of a century ago. I sat beside him as a fellow newspaper correspondent six years later at the St, tiOUis convention when McKln ty was nominated, and was aatoundod two weeks later to see htm nominated as the democratic candidate for tho pres idency, at tho close of that wonderful tpcech which ended with the now his toric phrase: "You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold." Neither Unto Nor Hoofs. I ha.Te had many glimpses of Mr. Bryan since then, and, looker-on In Vienna as I am, I have never been able to regard Mm as the saint and only possible savior of hla country, In which light he la viewed by many of his party, nor as possessing the hoofs and horns of our national de struction bo graphically cartooned by the artists of the opposition. At times he has seemed to be a demagogue, at other times an honest patriot, but always Inter esting. So much In the way of my pre conceptions. And now for the Impression. It is merely that of an evening spent with Mr. Bryan, alone, In his little den of tv library at Calumet place. The secretary of state lives a mllo and a half attay from the White House on the nolalits which overlook Washington, lying as It does In a llttlo basin on the banks of the Potomac, lils house Is the stone man sion, bought as .a speculation by John Sbbrman, sold by him to John A, hognu for $20,009 and remodeled by the latter and his wife as a comfortable home. It stands right on the edge of a bluff, with the capltol. the -monument, the xllvery river and the emerald hills of Virginia plainly In view. It has a long poich, openliur out from a hall so wide that ft. hay wagon could be driven through with out grazing the paper. On each side of this hall are parlors carpoted with ori ental rugs and furnished with old ma hogany, while upon the walls anl sput tered here and there about the rooms are curios gathered by Mr. and Mrs. Bryan from the four quarters of tho world. Ia Mr. Bryan's Sea. Passing through the parlors at tlie right, you reach the den of the secre tary, a little library at the back af the house, In which. Wore a walnut desk about three feet wide ana five feet long, he does rnuca ot Ms literary work. The library. is hung wKa yariraHa of Wash ington, Jeffersen, Jacksoa and Lincoln.

Among tho hitter are thoso of William Cullen Bryant, with whom ho first bttcamo acquulntod, through a prise copy of tbo poems which ho re ceived for making tho best oration In a com pi tl tiro contest whtlo ha was a Junior. Ko thought so much of this book that he gave it to Mrs. Bryan when he-was court ing hor. One of the poems In it whlsh ha Hkod beat Is tho "Ode to a Water Fowl," one verso of which he emoted dur ing our conversation. Thin versa is: Ko who from sono to sono Ouldos throUKh tha boundless sky thy certain flight. In the long way that I must tread alone, Will lead my stops bright. Another of his favorite verses along tho line of human duty Is of a similar oharocter. This Is from a poem written by tho Iter. V. S. Browning, at reads: I do not know Where falls the seed that I have tried to sow With greatest care: But I shall know The meaning of each waiting hour be low Sometime, somewhere. Di Rlnlit and Don't Worry. Along this line of thought comes a re mark which Mr. Bryan made when I asked as to his work and whether the demon of worry ever kept him awako at night. He replied; "I do not worry. I do the best I can and leave the results to the future. I don't believe In basing one's decision on tho. possible results. The only question to be considered Is as to whether the act Is right or roL If It Is right It should be performed irrespective of results. Be sides you cannot prophesy as to results. . It is mora Important that you should do which tha secretary sat In comfortable the right than that you should regard the negtlgo as he chatted wHa me. He was consequences.

Hovr He Talks. I despair ot giving you the impression that Mr. Bryan's conversation makes upon one with whom ha talks face to face. Ills countenance ts like a bene diction, and his volco I so mellow and sweet The sentences acme forth so beautifully roUaded that they make you think of a copper-plate engraving. At one point ln tho conversation X involun tarily said: "You certainly can say things beauti fully." I do not like that word beautiful.' replied Mr. Bryan. "I would rathor have you say that speak forcibly and clearly. X think clearness of statement is the most Important thing in oratory, and it ts that at which I have always aimed, and tried to attain. 1 remember ot making a speech upon tha tariff v now mora than twenty years ago, at the close ot which a man came up and said: "Mr. Dryan. I have been anxious to hear you. You are not as eloquent as I have ex pected, but you made that subject clear as It could be made.' At the same meeting another man sold: 'Why, a man could understand that speech if he 'could not read or wrlu.' X consider those'two remarks a greater compliment i than any.

Mankind has done a lot of thinking since the creation, and It your will trace your concepts back to the beginning you will find the germs of most of them somewhere or other. The number of really ber of applications of an Idea Is Infinite.

I do not receive pay for political speeches, and my Sunday speeches, ex cept at chautauquas, are free. I do not think that money making is the chief end of man," But Mr. Bryan, do you think one man can earn tSO.090 a year?" 'Yes. And ln this I am not speaking ot myself, but I do think that we have many men who havo carped more than f50,080 during every year ot their working lives. A man can honestly earn what hla ser vices are worth to society, although ln many cases he does not collect it Take Thomas Jefferson.

"No. It Is not new In Europe, and It la not now ln the United States. Wo had an Income tax for nearly ten years during and after the civil war, when the rat waa from SV4 to 10 per cent and the ex emptions ranged from J 000 to $2,000. But as I said awhile ago, there Is practically nothing new under the sun. The peace plan is not new. X presented a similar Idea ln a speech In Toklo seven years ago. Viscount Chlndo, the Japanese ambas sador, gave me a pamphlet the other day which had that speech ln It I afterward presented the same idea ln Europe at a peace conference attended by the repres entatives of twenty-six nations.' The same is true ot the election ot senators by the people. That Is an old idea. I was work ing for that twenty-three years ago, and tho other day X signed the proclama tion of the seventeenth amendment to the Constitution which makes it a law. At that time I Invited Henry Bt George Tucker, who was with me in the house at the time the movement waa first agi tated; and also William W. Rueker, the present chairman of the committee ot the house through which It was passed. X got three pens and had William engraved on one ot them. I signed my first name and gave that to Tucker. X had Jennings en graved on another pen. With that I signed tho name Jennings and gave It to Rueker. And on the third penholder I had tha name Bryan engraved. I have kept that pen for myself as a memento ot the occasion. X had a fourth pen for the date, which was given to Senator Borah." FRANK CARPENTER. Juvenile Wisdom.
