For nearly twenty years William Jennings Bryan has fought the battle of
human rights, and his name has become a household word in many ways. His
versatility has no limit, and to say that he is an extraordinary man and
friend of the human race, is saying one-half the truth.
Rising from the humble position of an attorney in Lincoln, Nebraska, Mr.
Bryan in an hour became the leader of the great masses of the American
people, and he has held his ground ever since. He had aspirations and
ambitions, but they were denied him through adverse circumstances, but
he never wavered in his love for the people and his desire to benefit
them in their onward movement toward betterment. As Secretary of State
in the Cabinet of President Wilson, he stands for everything that is
admirable in a man of honor, virtue and probity, and is in line with the
great movement toward universal peace.
Miss Jane Addams is a lady that causes one to believe in the human race
along humanitarian lines. Miss Addams in her settlement work at the
celebrated “Hull House” on Halsted Street, has incited others to copy
and others have taken up the great work of bringing the homeless workers
into social contact for mutual benefit. The lady is not only a worker
among the people, but an author and a lecturer, whose example may be
followed to advantage.
