Bryan Addresses Great Crowd at Peoria, 111, HOW REFORM IS THWARTED Supremacy of Federal Statutes Aid Corporations in Evading Regulation Special to the Evening Review. PEORIA, 111., Sept. 9. It is esti mated that 40,000 persons are here to attend the sessions of the demo cratic state convention and to hear the addresses of Wm. J. Uryau, Gov. Johnson, of Minnesota, and other prominent leaders of the party. When the convention was called to order, ex-Vice President Adalai E. Stevenson was introduced and deliv ered an address upon the issues of the campaign. After the transaction of routine business, Mr. Bryan wai Introduced and was given a greal ovation. When the convention ad journed, Mr. Bryan spoke to a hugi assemblage at the court housi siiuurc. Tonight an address will hi delivered by Governor Johnson. In his speech this afternoon. Mi Bryan's theme was: "The State nm Nation." His remarks follow: Mr. Bryan's Spi-ech. "In recent years a force has beei exerting an Increasing Influence li extending the authority of the cen tral government. I refer to tlx great corporations. They prefer thi federal courts to the state courts urn employ every possible device to ilrai litigants before U. S. judges. The; also prefer congressional regulatioi to state regulation, and those inter ested in large corporations have foi years been seeking federal Incorpora tlon. The democratic party will re sist every attempt to obliterate stati lines, whether the attempt is mad' through legislation or through 1ud: clal Interpretation. Amendment o the organic laws by judicial interim tatlon would be destructive of con stltutlonnl government; our constltu tlon can be amended by the peoph In accordance with the terms of tin document Itself and no group o men, however honorable or high minded, can usurp this power with out violating the fundamental prin clplcs of our government. "It has been suggested thnt tin rights of the states can lapse through non-use and that congress is jus tided in usurping the authority o' the state If the state fails to mnkr proper use of it. While this doctrliu has been advanced in the pretended interest of the people, it Is as insld ions and as dangerous an assault ai has ever been made on our constltu tlonal form of government. The people of the state can act with more promptness than the people of th nation, and If they fall to act. It mus! be assumed that the people of the state prefer Inaction. "The real purpose that those lawi have In view who complain of the Inaction of the state is not more strict regulation of corporations, but the relief of corporations from stati regulation. The democratic party favors the full exercise of the pow ers of the government iui m: tectlon of the rights of the people each government to act within Its constitutional sphere. Our platform demands that federal legislation be added to. not substituted for. state legislation. The predatory corporations have have taken advantage of the dual character of our government and have tried to hide behind state rights when prosecuted In the. federal courts and behind the Interstate com merce clause of the constitution 'hen prosecuted in the state courts. Tiiere Is no twilight zone between (. nation and the state in which the exploiting Interests can take re (HKe from both.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLAHTA, CA. tion nf either Knvitrolirtitlv tlio nlnn- ! derers of the public can find a safe retreat . "As long as a corporation con-, fines its activities to the state iu which it is subject to state regula tion only; but as soon as it invades interstate commerce It becomes amenable to federal laws as well as to the laws of the state which creat ed it and the luws of the states in which it does business. How strict can theso laws be? Just us strict as may be necessary for the protection of the public. Our platform outlines tne regulation deemed necessary and the regulation specifically set forth In order that our opponents may not be able to scare the public by pre dicting hurtful legislation. Our plat form, unlike the republican plat form, snys what It means and means only what It says. "A distinction is drawn between the railroads and other corporations. The railroad being a quasi public cor poration and. as such, being per mitted to exercise a part of the sov ereignity of the state, Is subject to regulation at the hands of both the nation and the state, but this regu lation 1b intended, not to cripple the railroad but to Increase the elllciency. The" people at large are as much In terested as the stockholders are in the successful operation of the rail roads. Their own pecuniary inter ests as well aB their sense of justice would restrain them from doing any thing that would impair the road or reduce Its elllciency. The trnvellug public is vitally Interested In the pay nent of wages sutllcient to command he. most intelligent service for life is well as property is In the hands f those who operute the trains, luard the switches and keep the .rack in repair. The democratic par y would distinguish between those t'ailroad owners, directors and man igers who, recognizing their oblign :ion to the public, earn their salar ies by conscientious devotion to .he work entrusted to them, and those unscrupulous "Napoleons of Inance," who use railroads as mere tawns in a great - gambling game vilhout regard to the rights of em )loyes or to the interests of the jatrons. It Is In the Interest of lonest railroading and legitimate ln estnient thnt the democratic party leeks to ascertain the present vnlue jf the railroad properties and to pre sent for the future the watering of itock and the Issuing of fictitious capitalization: and "It Is in the in erest of both the railroads and the ubllc that it seeks only such re uctlons in transportation rates as an be made without wage reduction without deterioration in the service nd without injustice to legitimate nvestments. The democratic party nsists thnt in the matter of regula ion of railroads both the state gov Tnments and the federal govern tent shall act up to. and yet within heir powers; for nothing else will estore the confidence and good will hat ought to exlBt between the rall--oads and the people. In dealing vith manufacturing and trading cor loratlons the democratic party draws i distinction between those corpora Ions and they constitute the great najorlty of all the manufacturing ind trading corporations which are engaged in a legitimate effort to sup ily what the consumers need, and he very few corporations which are jeeking by conscienceless methods to take advantage of the public on the ine hand while on the other hand '.hey bankrupt competitors, oppress the producers of raw materials and deal arbitrarily with their employes. It endevors to protect the innocent corporations by visiting punishment upon those corporations which are suiltv of infractions of the moral and the statute law. Here, too, our platform Is specific and no one can use its language to frighten any busi ness man whose transactions are fair nnd whose income is houestly earned. No one can contrast the plain, straightforward declarations of our party with the vague and am blguous utterances of the republican leaders and the republican candl date without recognizing that our appeal Is to the judgment and good sense of the voters who desire jus tice for themselves and insist upon Justice being done by others. Our party, if entrusted with the power, will remedy the abuses which have erown up under republican rule, and yet remedy those abuses with due re gard to constitutional limitations and without injury to any legitimate business interest." . MALARIA iD TO DEATH Runaway Horse Ends Life of John Scott, Aged 20 HAPPENED NEAR PERDUE Scott's Companion Kicked Into Insen sibility, bnt Revives In 45 Minntes Special to the Evening Review. CANYONV1LLE, Or., Sept. 9. John Scott, aged 20 years, was kick ed to death about 11:30 o'clock yes terday morning, by a horse which ran away with a cart in which Scott was riding in company with a boy, who was seriously Injured. The tragedy happened near Perdue, 12 mileB east of this place, where Scott and the boy were visiting with thi former's relatives, they having come from eastern Oregon last Snturdny. Whnt caused the horse to run away or how It was afforded an op portunlty to kick with such deadly effect has not been learned. lii some manner, however, the animal kicked Scott In the stomach and on the side of the head, crushing his skull and killing him Instantly. Scott's companion was also kicked in the head, but the injury will not prove fatal. The boy was rendered unconscious, however, reviving after a period of 45 minutes.

America Deprives Foreigners of Much of Their Happiness. By IDA M. TAR (ELL. Cl.br.I.d Author. ONE of the first disappointing realizations of tlio immigrant to tlio United States must be that be bus come to a country practically without feto days. Accustomed to a succession of religious and national holidays, all lively in col and move ment ; to local fairs, running over duys, even weeks s ctimes ; to street shows and games and merrymaking a land wK o not more than six or eight legal holidays are known and whercj o church is contented with an annual Sunday school picnic for tlio children, must seem poverty stricken indeed In gayety, whatever its opportunity for money making. THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THAT THE VARIETY AND NUM BFO OF FETE DAY8 IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES 00 A GREAT WAY TO MAKING UP TO THE LABORING CLASS FOR MATERIAL HARDSHIP8. HERE THERE IS NO SUCH COMPENSATION FOR NEW AND OFTEN VASTLY MORE PERPLEXING HARDSHIPS. Even thoso among us who hnvo appreciated I lie difliculties of the immigrant's transplanting and have tried to smooth them away have given little thought to this sidu of the matter. The tendency, indeed, has been to frown on the newcomer's efforts to introduce his own frolics and festivals u uu-Amurican and to impress upon him that it is work and not pluy which counts in the new land. WE HAVE BEEN WILLING TO IMPROVE HIM, BUT UNWILLING TO AMUSE HIM, EVEN TO LET HIM AMUSE HIM8ELF. THE RE SULT HAS BEEN THAT HE HAS DROPPEO HIS MERRYMAKINGS AND EVEN COME TO DESPI8E THEM AND HAS SUBSTITUTED FAR LESS ATTRACTIVE AND TOO OFTEN FAR LESS INNOCENT AMUSE MENTS. THE BARROOM AND THE DANCE HALL ARE POOR SUB 8TITUTES, INDEED, FOR THE OPEN AIR CAFE AND THE VIL LAGE FAIB. We Americans lose no less than the foreigner loses by this. One of tin most precious things he brings u, indeed, is his capacity for K'."Ji rcs.d in picturesque dunces and customs.

Distinction Attained by the llrltlsh tlH-Knot Destroyer "Swift." The question of warship speed has been occupying a good deal of at tention lately, and general Interest In the subject tins been considerably quickened by the performance of tlio United States cruisers of the "Chester" class and of the British "Indomitable." There have been mnny assertions made as to what ship is entitled to bear the distinc tion of being the fustust warship In the world; and although such dis cussions liuve as a rule been confined to vessels of good sea-going and Bea keeplng qualities, the question In its wider bearings tins been answered very emphatically by the British special-type torpedo-boat destroyer "Swift." On nor preliminary trials this vessel maintained tor some hours a speed of 38.3 knots or near ly 45 miles an hour higher by three knots than the best roui'-huur per formnnce ever achieved; and by modifying tlio propellors It mny be possible to get a higher speed out of her. The "Swift" was laid down in Oc tober, lyUG, at the works of Messrs. Cnmmoll, Laird & Co. ut llirkonhead, and was built to the designs of the builders, modified and Improved by Sir Philip Watts, the director of Brit ish naval construction. Her dis placement Is exactly double that of the largest torpedo-boat destroyers previously built, nnmely. 1800 tuns; while her length of 345 feet fulls short by only :t0 Inches of the length of the 10.:i00-ton Unilcd Stnlcs bat tleship "Indlnnu." Her beam Is 34 feet and 2 Inches slightly less than one-tenth of the length nnd the beam draft Ib 10 feet 0 Inches. The "Swift" Is, like all recent British ships, fitted with turbine en gines on the 1'nrHons principle, de signed to develop the stupendous horse-power, for her size, of 30,000, nnd to give a spend of 3(1 knots. The turbines nro in two compartments, and dt-ivu four shafts with one pro peller on each. The furnaco Is lilted for the burning of oil fuel only. Ihe carrying cnpnclty being 180 tons; and If is the subject of considerable comment that this It no greater Ihnn the quantity carried by the 800-ton 33-knot destroyers of the "Tartar" class, which immediately preceded hor. The nrmnment of the Swift Is limited lo tour 4-Inch (25-poundr) rnpld-llro guns nnd two 18-inch torpedo-tubes. After her Bpeed, the most remnrk nblo feature of the Swift Is her cost. This nmounts. In the case of the hull and machinery, lo 1. 237,310 nnd to i 1 4.1 50 for the nrinnment, a total ot $1,251,4(10. This is a huge price to pay for a vessel of only 1 800 Ions and practically without any ngniing power. The grenlnr part of the cost of the Swift is, of course, absorbed by her speed; and in (his connection It may be Interesting to note that If the Indomitiible had been designed for 23 knols Instead of 25, It is es timated Hint she would hnvo cost $1,500,000 less than she actuiilly did; nnd (hat If the Dreadnought hud been designed for 18.5 knots Instead of 21, she would bnve cost $2,150.1100 less. Since llreut llrllnln has four Indoinltnbles nnd eight Dreadnoughts built, building or pro jected, the total saving would liuve been no less than $24.0(10.000 suf ficient to build unolher three battle ships. It is not known whether tlio llrlt lsh Admiralty Intend to repeat the Swift, but II Is regarded as very Im probable. At a time when It la so dllllcull to get money from the gov ernment for purposes of national de fense. It Is likely that the Admiralty will find some more substantial way of spending money than In the crea tion of speeds, which, however start ling, hnvo but a very limited mili tary value.
