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

from what they did a few years

WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC
GOVERNMENT PLANNING A GIGANTIC
BLOW AT IT. '
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.

HERE ARE SOME FACTS
Hie Fanner Hells His Staples at
Prices Fixed by World Wide Competitions
And Then Buys the
Things He X??ds in a Market fron
Which Competition In Itarml.
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

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.
