Memorial tablets eiecfed to the memory of Dr. J. R. Eaton and Dr. W. R. Rothwell, once professors In William Jewell College, were unveiled this week with elaborate ceremonies, Bryan's Chicago Speech. Mr. Bryan delivered an before the JefTerson Club of Tuesday, In which be outlines his views as to the proper programme for the democratic party in 1908. He said in part: "Just now public attention is being directed to the encroachments of great corporations on the rights of the people and tbe discussion of remedies reveals the fact that among those who really desire effectively to restrain corporations there are two elements those who desire to enlarge the scope of federal government and those who desire to preserve the integrity and authority of the several states. I invite your attention to this subject because it is likely to ta the rock on which honest reformers will split unless there is a clear under standing of the situation. The Jellursonlan Democrat would not take from the federal government any power necessary to. the perform ance of its legitimate duties, but he recognizes that the consolidation of all the government at Washington would be a menace to the safety of the nation and would endanger tbe perpetuity of the republic- While the advocate of centralization is urging legislation which obliterates state lines and removes the govern ment from control of voters, the monopolist mav on the other hanri hide behind the democratic theory of seir-feovernment and use this thsory to prevent national leeislatlon whip.h may be necessary. ' "ine Investigations of the knr life insurance comnaniea led to, the discussion of national remprtlpa nnri the advocates of centralization are likely to sieze UDon the affltati on ah an excuse for legislation which will take the business of life inRiiranna out of tne hands of the various states ine Democrats should draw a distinc tion between federal leelslatinn whinh Is supplemental to state lee-islaMnn and that form of federal legislation which would substitute a national for a state remedy. I No insurance com. pany and no federal supervision should joienere wim tne eierc se of the power now vested in the state tn supervise companies doing business in such states. "So in devising a remnriV fnr t.ho trusts, the Democratic nartv should resolutely oppose every effort to authorize national Incornmatinn nr chartering of trading or manufactur ing enterprises. Congress has con trol over interstate commerce, but to control Interstate commerce it is not necessary that it s ould create cor porations that can oer-rlde state laws. The Democratic national plat form of 1900 proposed a national remedy for the trusts entirpiv inn. sistent with the preservation of state remedies, it suggested a license system the license to permit a cor poration to do business outside of the the state of its origin, upon compli ance with the condition of the license, but the license would not permit it to do business In any 'other state except on compliance with the con ditions provided by the stato. In Other WOrdS. it would hn nrh license as is now granted for the sale umquor. wuen a federal license is i8suea ror the sale of llauor. it Hops not carry with it any Immunity from tne laws of the state in which the licensee lives. The samp, rpasnninn- should be applied to the insurance question and to all other questions wuicu involve remedial legislation. "No advocate nf should be prepared to imnair th n , Of tbe various states over business done wnnin tneir borders under the pre tense that it is neccssarv tn t,mnfpr the power to the national capital and uo jjemocrai snouia oppose necessary federal legislation when the powers of the several states are nrnnprlv snfo. guarded. It is possible to preserve in full force the power of both tha federal government and the state government. It is nni nDraa.Dr. that the legitimate functlous of the two governments shall hp riparw recognized and their spheres duly respected. '' - , I have mentioned onlv the num. tion of insurance and the trust ques tion, but there are manv anhw.to which involve the Issue hptwppn Democracy and centralization. It is natural that the Democratic party should adocate theeleclou of senators by a direct vote of the people, for this reform would move a barrier erected between tbe people and their renrp. seotatives in the senate. rhi proposition Is a compromise between those who trust the people and those wnostin nonbted the canar.ttv of tho people fur self government. There is no longer reason for doubt and exper ience shows that the United States senate bac become the hnl wart nf coriaie I nte i ets. "The initiative and the rpfprpnrinm are growing in nonular favor hpna they increase the control of the people uvei uikil uwn anairs ana mike the government more responsive to tbe popular will. It should be the nurnnsp nf ti,n Democratic party and 4t8 constant effort to brine the cuvemmsnK tntn harmony with those who live' under it, and make it reflect more and more their intelligence, virtue and. patriotism. In proportion tha Democratic party trusts the nponlp and protects them, it will win thp confidence and support of the people, and no one ci-.n doubt the flni i triumph of such a nartv wlt.nnnt. doubting the correctness and growth of principles of free government."
