BRYAN ON TEMPERANCE.

William 7. Bryan this eek spoke
before the Catholic O Abstinence
Society Of America at Chicago on the
temperance question Among other
things he said:
Il would. not favor legislation for
bidding use of liquor at any time OF
under any circumstances. However.
! am in favor of u restriction a
may be necessary for the protection
of society.
The right to drink may be abused
and it may be forfeited. The right
to drink is not more sacred than a
mothers right to a sober son; the
wife's sacred right TO a sober u
hand, and the child's sacred right to
a sober father The right to drink is
not moro sacred than the right to
life, and yet il right to life can be
forfeited if one 50 Uses AIS life as to
menace the lives of those about him.
"fn like manner one, can forfeit the
right to drink under reasonable re-
strictions he attempts to enforce that
right to such a degree as 10 make mis-
use OF liquor and the sale of ii a men,
ace. to society.
THE first proposition which !
would lay down in the discussion OF
liquor legislation IS hat the people
have a right TO fix the terms and con-
ditions upon which intoxicating IL
uuors shall he sold aad used. That
proposition is fundamental.
81 hold that every unit ought to
have authority to act on this subject,
except as 1t is restrained by a larger
unit. That is that the, block, the ward
the city, tle precinct, h county, the
state and TIE nation should each have
the undisputed right To exclude the
sale OF liquor as-the people of the init
nay deem necessary for .ieir protec-
tion and Welt ire. I believe also that
the larger unit has n right to control
the ST aller n or this as on otner
subjects.
No one wodld be willing to stand
sponsor for the doctrine that a saloon

the wishes of the people of the town."

THE ORIGIN Of THE DIES MONIES
PLAN.

The Des Moines plan of municipal
government is at once a co7ibin alton
of the approved features of ali the
best American city charters OF recent
origin and the concrete result Of N
American citv's earnest efforts, ov-
ering more than half a century, to
work ont the problems OF its own ad-
ministration The form Of govern
ment by commission was frankly APP
p~ropriatsd from the charter of Gal
weston. The provision for tile recall of
unsatisfactory officials was borrowed
from Los Angeles. The broader refer
erduln was an enlargement of a right
long possessed b. all cities under an
Iowa statute. The initiative was also
an existing right. which together with
the protest. was adopted as q result
OF both general and local discussion.
The charter of the city OF Dallas,
Texas, perhaps most directly suggest.
ed the referendum and initiative. The
elimination of p~artizanship from city
elections was Effected locally, but UNI
questionable because Of convictions
nurtured in several decades Of nation
wide agitation of the question. The
unqualified establishment of the merit
system was an evolution from a less
thorough but excellent plan already I'm

practise. but a many prccedents to

local demands due. I'm part ut least to
discussion which had long been going
