Bryaa end the isssss Ia ssOo.


President Warner, Of the National
Bi-Metallic League, speaking Of Bryan
and the issues OF the coming campaign
says:
Bryan has lost none OF his strength
With the Democratic party. The money
question has lost none OF its import
ance, while, ct the same time no doubt
other questions Of great Importance
have arisen.
"And on the money question, mas
much as an effort will be made Ut the
next session OF Congress 70 retire the
greenbacks and turn over to the banks
entire control Of paper currency. this
phase OF the money question is likely
to attract more attention for the time
being than the silver question.
"None the less. they are deceived
Who think that the silver question has
been finally settled. There IL much
wisdom In the reply oil the Scotch d.
vine TO his congregation when they
wanted him to pray for rain:
"'Yes, when the wind gets in the
right quarter
The wind may not be just In the
right quarter for pressing the silver
issue, but It will get there. The rapid
and unexpected Increase In the pro-
duction OF gold has had, SO far as IL has
gone, the same effect that the restora-
ton OF silver 70 coinage would have
had had 1t been restored, and there
had been no incaesse 10 the production
OF gold: but it does not follow from
this that IL Is safe to res, the world 9
money supply upon the sporadic pro-
duction OF single year or single
period.
ut would be no wiser to rest the
worlds monetary system upon the pres.
ent output OF the African sand reefs or
the frozen Klondike gravel than 10
1910 to rest 1t upon the new discoveries
OF silver OF Potosi, Ia Mexico, or in
1850 TO risk everything ou the gold
placers OF California and Australia.
There has been no period 10 all the

has been the ease 1t has always proved

ION the contrary, the sacrifice Of
metals for money has proved the ruin
OF nations and turned back for cen
turies the course OF civilization. So
long, then. as the world depends for its
automatic money on the supply OF the
mines 1t win have need for both OF the
metals.

BAR OR NO BAR
FOR OLYMPIC
CLUB MEMBERS
Board Now Consider
ing the Innovation.
BOTH SIDES OF THE MATTER
THE ANTI-BAR PARTY FEARS
THE WORST.
BOTH SIDES OF THE MATTER
Those Who Favor the Scheme Believe
That Great Advantage Would
Be Gained by It's In
PRODUCTION.

Bar or no barr is the question which
is agitating the board of directors of the
Olympic Club and many of it's members
at the present time. For many years 1t
has been rule of the Post street ath-
letic organization not to allow alcoholic
refreshments of any kind to be sold
within the club, and this regulation has
been strictly adhered to- 1t is very like
ly that in the near future the ancient ira
dition will be erased from the clubs code
of house rules and the members be per-
United to call for cocktail or a bottle
of ale without having to forego the COM
forts of an easy chair and engage in cor
ner pedestrianism to obtain the same.
Many of the members are violently op-
posed to the introduction of this limo
walton on the ground that alcoholic slim
ulants should not be sold in an athletic
club. They assert that exercise devel-
ops a thirst as well as muscle and easy
access to the means of satisfying the for
mer will tend to demoralize the younger
element in the club. They do not fear
that any such result would follow the in
PRODUCTION of a bar, but the possibility of
it is what makes them halt and op-
pose 1T.
The party which favors the introduce
ton of the bar are also strong, and they
advance what they declare to be an un-
answerable argument. They claim that
a drink in the club is dozen shades
more also 10 will
good fellowship and sociability. AS an
exemplification to their argument they
cite the custom in the big swell Eastern
athletic clubs, all of which have bar at
tachments and which prove of inestima-
BILE value to the club on the financial as
well as the social side of its life.
The house committee of the Olympic
Club has this matter under Amusement
and 1t is expected that they will propose
the establishment of a bar. f. p. Nc
Lehman, the chairman of that committee,
said yesterday:
II think that the introduction of a bar
would be of value to the club, but we
want to consider every phase of the ques-
ton before taking a step. l am not the
sponsor of the proposition, but favor it
merely. A cozy place. where man can
invite a friend and take a drink, is ever

abused and 1t is unlikely that it would

The entire proposition will be consid-
cred at future meeting of the board.

REPORT IS READY.
A Fondness for Pretty stenographers
Accomplishes the Ruin of
Prominent Federal Officer.

The special commission which has
for some time past been hearing
charges against Special Agent of 1.-THE
Treasury Horace W. Moore has finished
it's labors and agreed upon its report.
While none of the members will dis
cuss the subject, information has
leaked out that all the charges against
Moore have been substantiated, and
that the commission will find against
him. This information is in the pos
session of Collector of the Port jack
son and Former Collector John A.
Wise. It was chiefly through the eff
forts of the latter that the charges
were taken to Washington and the
case pushed through, although collector
Jackson did his share in the natter.
The story of Moores disgraceful con-
duct was made public exclusively In
The Call some months ago. He was ac-
cused by Mrs. Pickens, his stem

LENT rs UsHERED IN.
SoIemnization of Ash Wednesday,
the First of the Forty Days
of Fasting

Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent,
was solemnly celebrated yesterday in the
various Catholic churches throughout the
city. Solemn high mass was said at a
late hour in the morning, Immediately
after which the blessed ashes were adj
ministered.
With the advent of Lent all amuse-
ments. as far as good Catholics are con-
cerned, cease. The forty days preceding
Easter Sunday are supposed to be de-
voted to sacrifice. Every one within the
pale of the church is supposed to make
an undue effort to do something during
the coming six weeks in the way of self
sacrifice. 1t is time when all are sup
posed to be drawn nearer to God by last
ing and the offering of prayer.
In nearly all the churches an estab-
lished form of service will be held 70 Tor
Masses will be said almost as on Sundays
with the exception that the hlgn mass IN
the late morning will be omitted. s
will be said at $50. 7:30 and o'clock In
