Washington, Jan. 9.--A move rnent has been started in Washing ton by a number of ladies, friends and relatives of the American soldiers, having for it's principal object the restoration of the army eanteen. To accomplish this end the ladies have formed society to be known as ''The Army Canteen Club" and have taken steps to form similar clubs in the states. As result of their extensive work, army canteen clubs are said to have been inaugurated in Chicago, Gin cinnati and at several places in New T7crk state. It is proposed to con

tiou the topic of address by William Jen-
nings Bryan at largely attended mass meeting
of that association at Convention Hall this after
noon. MIR, Bryan escorted to the platform
by Secretary COrtelyou, who, in introducing him
to the audience. said:
Your presence here in international convention
is inspiration to good citizenship everywhere.
There cannot he too much of such inspiration nor
there be too much of the enthusiasm for clean
manhood and Christian living. which you so con-
spicuously display. May the sublime faith and
practical helpfulRess of your great and benefcent
organization appepal more and more TO people.
for whatever differences upon the passing
themes of the moment you represent the things
which do not pass away; you are living examples
OF the truth that righteousness exaIteth ma

Mr. Cortelyou said Mr.. Bryan's interest in the
associations undertakings was well known. and he
had the honor and pleasure of presenting to you
my friend of many years. the Hon William j.

Mr. Bryan drew lessons and pointed out
the influences TO be exerted and benefits 10 be de-
rived from an active Christian citizenship,
In an address before a large number of students
and others at the George Washington University
tonight Mr.. Bryan characterized the new Okla
homa constitution as the best constitution extant;
and" he added ''I don't exclude the Constitution
of the United States" He spoke of it as drafted
largely by what some people plefsed to call
"cornfield lawyers and he remarked In this con-
nection that the great reforms of the country are
being thrashed out by these so-calIed 'corndeld
lawyers before the city lawyers know what is
taking place. While he praised the form OF gov
ernment of this country as the best in the world
he pointed out that the government would not be
perfect even IL the Democrats were in power: ''and
l could prove that" he added. by the Republl-
cans. and II the Republican party was In power it
would need proof"
Mr.. Bryan spoke later at the Garrick CLUB be-
fore audience consisting mostly OF newspaper
correspondents. He discussed the ethics of bust.
ness. politics and journalism, In each of which
he said. a movement for awakening of con-
science was occurring. He believed there was a
movement afoot for purity of purpose along all
lines; that change coming which looked to
essenins of party lines and elimination of corrup.
ton. in politics
Mr.. Bryan said many influences were at work In
Washington of which the public was not aware,
and I'm support of this declaration contended that
the Interstate Commerce Commission year after
year had recommended railroad legislation In its
report, but that the railroad lobby completely sun
pressed legislation In both houses of Congress.

the time of the San Francisco fire there has been
plenty of warning, not only TO the United states
but to the Old World. of pending danger The ex-
pansion Of loans and credits has reached limit
where the reserve fund was inadequate.
The collapse was not entirely due TO speculation
Neither was il due TO the cry that the East was
taking all the money away from the west ana
storing It up. The most important point TO be con-
sdered is the fact that are all In the same
boat and that money cannot be divided into two
classes-that used in speculation and that used in
straight business. What is used in one channel one
day is diverted into another channel the next
Legislation upon the question is bound to come"
