Cahn Defends Title
Against Chambers
Jn spite of tho fact that ho has held
tho 1914 billiard championship of Ne
braska but a few weeks, Albert Cahn do
fended his title with caso last night, In the
challengo match played with V. N. Cham
bers nt tho Symes billiard parlors. Tho
final result of 250 to ltt is fairly Indica
tive of tho relative skill presented by tho
opponents at tho match last night.
Chambers was erratic In critical periods
of tho gamo and persistently" failed to
make seemingly easy shots which would
havo' put him In position for bigger runs
during the game. Cahn. though not bril
liant at any stago, was steady throughout,
and his regular scoring kept his opponent
a poor second during tho cnllro contest.
The highest run of tho gamo was thirty,
which was made by both players during
the game.
In three weeks, Harry Symes. who
ranked second In the stato tournament,
will play Cahn for the ohumplonshlp. Tho
match promises to be one of the best con
tests staged In Omaha during tho present
season.

tho electorate Is no longer subjected to
the corrputlng Influence of the Interests
which so successfully operated for years
aolag purely aordld lines. There may be
those who even to this day qcistton the
position taken by Mr. Bryan on the
money question in 1S93, biitt he unpreju
diced mind realizes that tho Almighty
solved tho money question in opening up
tho great storehouses of gold in Alaska
and South Africa.
"That he has been entirely unselfish in
his devotion to the right Is manifested
by tho rare loyalty and co-operation
which he Is giving to our president the
greatest since Lincoln the man whose
singleness of purpose, whose unfaltering
courage and whoso lofty devotion to duty
grow out ot the slgne circumstance that
ho Is a freo man, and believes In the
progressive principles of democracy, re
vived and restored by Bryan."
Governor Cox then stated that by re
quest he would go Into an explanation of
the progressive and humanitarian laws
enacted In Ohio following the adoption
of the new constitution. Whatever has
been accomplished he contended was
mado possible In the Buckeye common
wealth by a development ot public opin
ion along the lines of progressive demo
cracy. In speaking a welcome to Senator Rob
InBon, Governor Folk, -ovcrnor Cox and
other vBUcsts of the evening. Governor
Mart-head told of Lincoln's growth and
Nebraska's greatest, and went on:
"I believe; that I voice the sentiment of
a large percentage, ot our citizens, wnen
I say that they rejoice today that wo
arc coming back nearer the fundamental
principles of democracy than we ever
huve been before. The national legisla
tion so rapidly put through congress, Is
going to dajust and regulate certain
Great principles that have ned regulation
for more than halt a century
"Wo who arc citizens of this stato flat
ter oursclvos that wo have had mneh
to do wth the change of conditions In
this great country. The man we meet
hero to pay honor to, has accomplished,
by his great physical and nymtal quali
fications, reatB that never nave ocen ac-
compllnhcd by nn Individual before, in
making the fight for the great common
people ot this country. He did It slngls
handed and alone, under the most trying
nnd difficult circumstances, and while
wo admlro tho accomplishments of this
administration, wo feel that our own
citizen haa contributed more to. bring
about these reforms, than any other
citizen In tho United States.
Democracy Triumphant.
"The operation of these principles will
givo more dignity and consideration to
the best people, who make the world go
round, and furnish the material force of
our country. The barrier of caste Is
down, so that more and more a man's
social standing depends upon htmself.
The list of llfo are open to all, and the
passion to succccdcomes with the value
of the prizes to be won. Never before
did so many common people strain to
reach t higher rung In the ladder.
"I have been reliably Informed that
on tho walls of Tolstoi's room, at his
death, was found the photograph of Mr.
Bryan, as one of three, showing with
what high regard he was held by the
great commoner.
"He Is recognized the world over as a
man who has given his time and his lire
work In the Interest of the plain people,
and by so doing. Is helping to make more
and greater republics. In behalf of the
state of Nebraska. I desire to express
my oppreclatlon to you genttemcnt for
the many good citizens who have con
tributed to make the great state of Ne
braska what she Is today, and for your
presence here tonight In the commemor
ation of the anniversary of the man
whom we bellevo to bo the greatest ex
Doncnt of pure and unadulterated domo-
crocv that there Is on the face of the
earth."
Mr. nryun'e Letter.
In his message to the club Mr. Brayn
said:
"I regret exceedingly that official duties
prevent my attendance March 19 upon
the dinner with which my Nebraska
friends are accustomed to celebrate tho
anniversary of my birth. These dinners
have always been very happy occasions
to ine, and the opportunity which they
afford for renewing acquaintance with a
multitude of loyal co-laborers Is Increas
ingly appreciated.
"Please present to those assembled a
loving greeting from Mrs. Bryan and my
self. On the last anniversary we exulted
over the great victory our party had won
throughout the nation, and yet our Joy
was restrained by a sense of responilbll.
Ity for the proper use of the authority
conferred. Today we look over a year
rich In achievements. President Wilson
has more than realized our highest hopes
by the splendid record he has made. Un
der his wise and courageous leadership
the party has already rendered signal
service to the country and strengthened
Its claim upon public confidence. We re
call the last twelve months with satis,
faction and view the future with assur
ance. Ills Work aa Secretary,
If I may be pardoned for referring toare well advanced,
tho part with which the President has
honored me, I am glad to report prog
ress, it has been my privilege to sign
sign the document which concluded the
twenty years' contest for the popular
election of senators and added to the con
stitution tho amendment making this
change. Tho signing of treaties is tho
most pleasant of my tasks. No peace
Plan has ever before received such lmme-l
dlatc and widespread approval as that
which was last year offered to all tho
nations. Th governments which have al
ready accepted the principle represent
more than three-fourths of the nonulatlon
of the world. Thirteen treaties have been
signed, four more have been authorized
and some eight governments are now
considering the details. It seems prob
able that within one year from the day
when the peaceproposal was authorized
by tho president, fully one-half the people
of the globe wll be linked to us by treat
ies which will provide for a year's Inves
tigation before war can be declared by
either of tho contracting parties.
Prnlne for Speakers.
"But I cannot In the brief spoace of a
letter set forth all tho reforms accom
plished by this administration, and the
presence of your distinguished guests
makes It unnecessary to do so. Governor
Folk, Governor Cox, Senator Robinson
and Governor Morehcad are all 1o tell
you what has been done thus far and to
Interpret the party's pledges as applied
to the future. Governor Folk has for
years been a leader among the progres
sive democrats of the nation; Governor
Cox. although in executive office but
little more than a year, has already
earned a plnco in the front rank of re
formers, and Senator Robinson Is a pillar
of strength to our party In that body.
You are familiar with the good record
made by your own governor. I am
grateful to these gentlemen for attending
tho dinner and nevy you the opportunity
you have of hearing them.
"In view of the triumph of the princi
ples and -policies for which the democracv
of Nebraska has contended for so many
years. I beg to offer, as my contribution
to your Intellectual feast, a very anoro-
prlate sentiment expressed In most felici
tous language by James Russell Lowell:
uct but the truth once uttered, ami
It Is like a new star born, that drops
Into Its place, and which, once circling
In Its placid round, not all the tumult of
the earth can shake.' "
