PROFESSIONAL DEMOCRACY
SUBJECT OF A POEM BY
w. ST. CLAIR CREIGHTON

AS a prelude to the original poem.
professional Democracy" w. st, Clair
Creighton said:
In the city of Athens, of ancient
Greece, her imaginative and poetical
people after a famous victory builded
a temple and enshrined within 1t a
statue of the Goddess of Victory. And
they charged the cunning sculptor who
wrought the figure to make it without
wings. She came to stay they said.
Victory shall no more fly away to the
standards of the enemy
Tonight, in this brave presence gath
cred in our modern Athens, my charge
is not to sculpture you the Nike Apteros
the 'Wlngless Victory; but | hold
your high commission for a marching
word professional and this Of you'll
pardon a brief prelude) shall be the
burden of my song:
"The party that nursed this nation in
it's infancy and guided it's destlnies
along the old constitutional paths,

years before the ciyil War has during

run was made to San Pedro and there
Mr.. Bryan made a close examination
of the harbor from the vessel. Cata-
lima was reached for luncheon, which
was served at long tables in the Met
ropole, an elaborate bill of fare being
provided. There was an utter absence
of formality about the whole affair,
and no speeches were made. On board
Mr.. Bryan chatted with the prominent
Democrats present and sat about in
the center of little groups, telling funny
stories, while Mrs. Bryan was looked
after by the many women who went
along.
Sees Submarine Gardens
After luncheon Mr. Bryan and a
small party took a tour of the sub
marine gardens in a power boat, en-
joying the unique spectacle of ocean
vegetation. Then coaches were in read
iness and a short drive about Avalon
followed. The return trip was made
without incident and Los Angeles was
reached at O'Clock Chief Kern and
squad of his men in plain clothes
were along, but merely as spectators.
Mr.. Bryan expressed himself as most
happy over the little visit. II never
say anything quite like it," he said.
1T is unique and beautiful. Catalina
is gem of a place, and charming. l
am only sorry that we have not longer
to stay"
The arrangements for the trip, which
We're in charge of the general enter
tainment committee, were admirably
carried out. Among the prominent per-

BRYAN ADVISES SAN
PEDRANS TO KEEP HARBOR
FROM CORPORATIONS

William Jennings Bryan's advice to
San Pedro and Los Angeles is Save
your harbOr for all. and do not give
it away to the few
Mr.. Bryan made close inspection
of San Pedro harbor on his trip to
Catalina yesterday, and this was his
conclusion. He made the remark to
many who asked him about it while
aboard the Cabrillo on the way to Ava
lon, and he reiterated it in a short
address 10 the San Pedrans when he
returned.
All san Pedro was at the dock when
the Cabrillo reached there yesterday
evening, and the San Pedro marine
band was out in the rain playing ma
tional airs. Mr. Bryan went imme-
diately to the Pacific Electric COM
panys private car, but the insistent
demands for speech brought him to
the rear platform, where he talked for
about five minutes in the rain
You have a splendid harbor," said
he, in the course of his remarks, "and
you should keep 1t for all the people.
Take care that the few powerful cor
porate interests do not grab all of it,.
You have none too much left
Approve Sentiment
The vociferous cheers which greeted
this showed plainly where the pop
ulace of San Pedro stand.
Mr.. Bryan was in a facetious mood
when he began his talk. Il have just
come from a spot" said he that l
find is marvellous. 1t is peculiar
in that it is far finer than l had ex-
pected. That Is remarkable, for or
dinarily you will find that few things
come up to the press agents descrip-
tion of them"
Speaking privately of the harbor Mr..
Bryan said that he thought the cor
porations had secured most OF the
water front, so far as he could Judge,
but that the people still had enough
to make a magnificent harbor If they
would protect their remaining rights.
William Jennings Bryan gratlfied one
of the cherished wishes of his heart
yesterday, albeit under unfavorable cir
Cumstances, when he visited Santa Cat
alma island. AS often as he has been
in Los Angeles Mr.. Bryan has never
been able to take this trip until now.
But he had more time this visit and
devoted the day to the trip. The rain
interfered materially in his fun enjoy
ment, but he expressed himself as de-
lighted with his experience.
The committee having Mr.. Bryan's
entertainment in charge made excellent
arrangements for his jaunt. The steam
er Cabrillo was chartered and the Pa
cihc Electric road put the private car,
"El Amigo at his disposal. A host
of good Democrats and their wives
We're invited to accompany him and
the party left the Pacific Electric depot
at $3.50 o'clock yesterday afternoon, fill
ing two Of the big trolley cars. The
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-30
Mr.. Bryan Goes East rodav

Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan will go east this
afternoon via the Salt Lake road,
leaving on the Los Angeles limited at
2:45 o'clock. The Salt Lake has made
special efforts to accommodate Mr..
Bryan on this run, and guarantees to
carry him through in record time. Mr..
Bryan desired the most characteristic
train out of here, and the Los Angeles
Limited was selected accordingly.

WOMEN IN MEDIEVAL TIMES.
In Many Ways They Had Easier Lives
 Than Their Descendants.

The women of the sixteenth century and earlier times had easier lives than those of our generation. To be sure, there are a hundred labor saving de- vices today which were unknown to them. But in at least two important respects they had the advantage over their descendants. They waged no conflict against dirt such as we carry on from morning till night. The Eliz- abethan had no prejudice against gar bage in his front yard, vermin in his bedroom, decaying rushes on the floor of his banquet hall, or soiled lace iA his sleeves. The strength of arm and spirit which now goes to keeping clean was left to the medieval lady for other tasks. Moreover, although her cloth ing was gOrgeous-rich with embroid- cry and lace, and heavy with jewels it was not subject to rapid changes of fashion. The cut of a sleeve or the hang of a skirt was settled for five years rather than five months. Life was then free from the modern terror of looking like last years rag bag" Youths Companion.

norance or for mercenary reasons are opposing the sale of all household remedies. 1Chy IS tt not equally neces- sory for patients to knolU the cOmp0- sition of the remedy prescribed by q pbysician? Does any sane person be- lieve that the opium in a physicians prescription is less potent or less like iv to create a drug habit than the opi- nm in a proprietary medicine? As q matter of fact, more optum-addtcts and cocdin-fends hdUe been made tbrouoh the criminal curelessness Of ionorant physicians than by dny other means.
 IJnouestfonably, there are a number of proprietary remedies on the market the sales of which should be prohibit ed and no doubt they will be when the requirements of the Food and Drugs Act are rigidly enforcedi many are frauds, pure and simple, and some are decidedly harmful Of the aver age proprietary remedy, however, it may truthfully be said that it is dis tinctly better than the average physi- clans prescription; for not only is it's composition less secret, but it Is pre- pared for the proprietor by reputable manufacturing pharmacists in magnifi- gently equipped laboratories and un- der the supervision and advice of able chemists, competent physicians and ski1lful pharmacists It should not be considered strange, therefore, that so many physicians prefer to prescribe these ready-prepared proprietary rem edies rather than trust those of their own devising.

Faithist Community Latest Addition
 to Its Queer Scots.

The Faithist community which has established a modest footing in Bal ham, and whose comprehensive gospel ranges from the creation of man to the glory and labors of the gods and goddesses of the Etherian heavens" is the latest addition to the long list of London's religious Sects, which are now almost as many as the days of the year. In London the Chinaman burns his incense stick in more than one joss-house in the east end, the Ma hometan has his mosque, the Malayan his temple, near St. Georges street east the Parsees worship the sun in Bloomsbury, the Mormons have mis- sion in Islington, and in many parts of the metropolis the Buddhists and Ancestor Worshipers perform their strange rites. Of Christian sects in London there are at least 300, includ- ing the Cokelers, the disciples of Will liam Sirgood, the Walworth shoe maker; the Peculiar People, who pre- fer prayer to physicians; the Sande- manians, the followers of Joanna Southcott, the prophetic serving maid; the Shakers and the Seventh Day Baptists.
