BRYAN ISHAPPY Makes a Very Huraoroas Political Speech Aboat Teddy Rjosmli's TAKING HIS PLATFORM He B*]tn if You Want to Find the Hindie That Won't Come Off You t Need Not lload lircakfaat Food Advertisements, Uut Go to See Him. li? his great speech at Indianapolis Mr. Bryan got off a good many fcnmorous Jokes at. the expense of Teddy Roosevelt and the Republican, who, he said, had about stolen all f the Democratic platform and now claim It as their own. Here are aome extracts from Mr. Bryan's speech that will be enjoyed by all. He said: Uut nobody is enjoying progressive Republicanism more than I am. I do not think even the progressive Republican gets as much satisfaction out of the endorsement that some of them are giving at a late day and with some hesitation to the opinions that we have been advocating nil these years. If you want to find the sqiile that won't come off you need not go to the advertisements o. breakfast foods; come to Nebraska. t began to enjoy thlB some years ago when Mr Roosevelt fi~sl commenced to make Incursions into our platform yard. 1 was in Washington at a Gridiorn club banquet; he was the chief guest and sat on the rign* of the toastmastor and I sat on the other side; and the boys of the club were Joking him from the beginning of the banquet to the end about what he was taking from the Demo etatlc platform, aud when it came my time I Joked hlin too. I mentioned some of the things, but 1 assured him that I did not speak complalningly; that, while soma of the Democrats objected, I did not; thai i believed our platform was made lor use aud that if we could not ge< a chance to use it I was glad to have anybody use it. I told those banqueters that I felt so good to see the Republicans <-limbing up 011 our platform that i -wan much in the attitude of th ? young fellow down in Alabama. t bashful young man, who courted hid girl for a year before he had the courage to propose to her. One evening he /old her that he loved her and asked her to marry him. She was a frauk, outspoken sort of a grlrl and she said: "Why, Jim. i have been loving you these many m months. 1 have just been waiting for you to tell me, so I could ten you." Jim was overcome with delight. He went out and looked up at the stars and said: "Oh, Lord, i hain't got nothln' agin' nobody." That was the way 1 commenced to feel years ago about this matter. 1 have been feeling better and better ever einco, and 1 don't know wh-'t I am going to do if 1 get to feeling much better than I do now. A little while after the hnnquet the cartoonists began to take it up, and the Collier's Weekly had a cartoon that some of you may have ?een. It represented the president and myself as birds, both of us birds, but he was on the nest, and I was 'on a limb, and his nest was feather **d with feathers that I had formerly worn, and there I eat on the limb, all bare, with just one feather left, -tariff rforma, and I was wondering whether he was trying to get that. And. sure enough, two years agj they tried to take that feather, but they got to quarreling as to whether the feather ought to turn np or tura down, and it spilt the party Ha* when 1 found my feathers were gone 1 proceeded, like any bird ought to, to raise a new crop. I worked diligently, especially while he was In Africa, and when he came back I had reached about that period of development you notice In n chicken when It runs across the road in front of the automobiles in the fall. If you will notice, the chicken sometimes has lost Its first feathers and its second feathers are not fully developed. 1 was in about that position, so to speak when he came back, and then ho went out to Osawatomle and tried to get every plu feather that I had. But. my friends, the cartoons are doing him justice now. He is gelting what is cominy to him A frionri af ntlnu aonf ***** ? ? .. w.- w. ui.uv ocuv uiu a i ni linill the other day.

One of the oldes: Is Antitrust. He Is about 17. an I they run from that on down, an i very boy looks like me. t Now, friends, if I left this matter here I am afraid that you might think that I believed myself worthv OV Ae credit which these cartoon* imply, hut It Is not that. I recognize that I atn only getting now reaction from what they did a few years ago, when these ^.things were unpopnlar, and they called them Pryanlsm in derision.

' Backed by the Drastic Penalties of the Mann Bill, l>e|>artnient of Juatice Will End It. The Government of the United ^ States has turned its whole detect!v j machinery toward unearthing and destroying the white slave traffle, as it exists between the states or between foreign countries and the United States. It is the plan of the Departmeuc of Justice to make one sweep on all the large cities at once, and strike, if possible, oue staggering blow at S the trafflc. 1 The Government's authority comes ' from the Mann act, Imposing upon t the interstate aspects of the crime ' penalties of five years' Imprison- 1 ment of a flue of $5,000. 1 According to information already * received at Washington, Pittsburg ?s t the center of the trade, though clews discovered iu Chicago make that city I an Important substation in the circu- ' lation of girls and women through 1 the country. ' The Hist swoop, it is intended, will 1 be started simultaneously in Now ' York, Philadelphia. Pittsburg. Chicago and San Francisco. Officers at ports of entry have 1 been asked to Increase their vigil- ' ance and to inspect female Imml grants with peculiar care. Mean- ' while olllcers at Inland cities will 1 watch and report the movements a. all suspects. ' In New York some months ago District Attorney Whitman made an 1 effort to trap some of the men back of the trade in that city, but the.. 1 escaped. The only way to capture 1 the offenders. according to the ' agents of the Department of Justice. 1 is to have the authorities of all the large cities act together. The Government agents will not ' try to "clean up" the various citie? 1 They will simply go ufter the leaders of the syndicate. In Chicago some arrests have been made, hut these are only the beginning of the general crusade, it is said. Iu several cases* it was found that men in that city had brought women from France.

One day last week Benjamin K. jhively, Democratic Senator from ndiana, made some telling remarks n a speech on the tariff as it relates o the farmer. He made it just bcore the close of the campaign but t reads Just as well now, whatever he result of the election. Here lis remarks on the tariff, which ev?ry farmer should read: In these closing days of tne camjaign Republican leaders are maKng frantic appeals to the farmers to ome to the assistance of the Repubican ticket against the rising tide o; evolt in the cities. Why Bhould the armor vote to vindicate the Payne\ldrich tariff? V)r why should ho : 1 ve couutenance to that cunning dl.''ercnce-in-cost. plus-a-proflt evangtI n which panic-stricken statesmen ire seeking shelter? Government (las no fund out of which to gua~intee profits. It can legislate pro In to one man only as It legislates osaes to another. American agriculture Is a nonprotected and noii|>rotectable industry. The genius of man can not devise ? system of Import duties that cou.d protect the farmer. Every year millions of bushels of his wheat ami :orn and millions of pounds of his hogs, cattle and cotton go out to the great surplus markets of western Europe. Would a single bushel or pound go there but for the fact that it brings a higher price there than at home? Duties of $100 per bushel of $10 per pound could not help the farmer to the extent of a single penny. He stands between two markets, uoither of which he coutrols. He makes his sales at prices fixed by others. He makes his purchases at prices fixed by others. He sells his staples at prices fixed by world-wide competition and then buys the things he needs for self and family, under what conditions? Under tinsame conditions on which he selus his products? No. Me buys In a market from which forolgu competition is barred by prohibit! vh hii-uY schedules, und from which domestic competition is removed by domestic combinations organized under the Bbelter of such schedules. A protective tarllf protects the woolen and cotton goods the farmer must buy, but can uot protect the cotton, corn and wheat which he haj to sell. It protects the farm machinery, the furniture, tho Ironware, woodenware. glass and glassware, carpets, paints and dozens of other things which he must buy, but can uot protect the outs, rye, cattle or ho-'B he hus to sell. It protects the thiugs he must buy by enabling the trusts controlling them to write up artificial prices on them. Thus the farmer sells at normal, competing prices and buys at hignly abnormal and ficticious prices written up by greed without reference to cost. So situated, the farmer for 4 0 years has been the special vlstim of the sfstern. All this time he has been exchanging a part of his annual output for watered prires instead of for the goods.
