Workers Throughout Country
to Push Demand for "Man-
hood Suffrage"
MONDAY is TIME SET
FOR BEGINNING FIGHT
Employers Offer Encouragement by
Promising to Pay Wages
in Some Cases.

BRUSSELS, Belgium, April 12-Singu-
lar variations of sentiment have been de-
veloped both in the Belgium capital and
in the provinces in connection with the
political strike for manhood suffrage which
is expected to involve 100000 out of the
100000 Belgian workingmen Monday next.
One strange phenomenon is the support,
active tacit. given by many employers
to the movement. Some of them have
declared they will even pay workmen' S
wages during the strike, while some of
them have strike funds or have offered
to take care of the strikers children.
The clerical newspapers insist that rich
liberals are privately swelling the strike
funds, while liberal and radical clubs in
various cities are openly supporting the
movement by subscriptions. The minister
of war is transferring all troops from the
posts where they have been stationed to
other places where the soldiers have no
acquaintance and so can be used more
efficiently in case of disturbance.
Bakers Cut Off Bread.

bread after Monday.
BRUGES, Belgium April r. The
SnTlSl6u uIIlOLS-dS Tic SdluOAS WI
mems associations are known to distin-
guish them from the socialist trade unions

is believed here that nearly half the
workmen of Belgium will refuse to quit
their employment on Monday.
Call Issued for Strike.
CHARLEROI, Belgium, April 12.-Bill-
boards all over this city were covered
today with great red posters on which
was printed the socialist call to the work
men to "strike for manhood suffrage and
the equal vote by laying down their tools
on Monday, when it is expected that more
than 100000 men will quit work In BEL
GUM. The placards added:
This is a strike of folded arms and
not of fists.
Respect the liberty of those who
wish to work. and the authorities will
also respect the freedom of those who
wish to cease work.
Complete passiveness is urged upon the
strikers by the socialist unions, who
tell them that injury done to our
opponents is injury done to our cause.
Government posters have been hung by
the side of the socialist placards, and
these quote in full article 80 of the
penal code, respecting those interfering
with the right to work.
Offer of Employers.
LIEGE, Belgium, April 12.-Employers
of this city posted notices today saying
they will give their workmen who struck
for manhood suffrage half pay for three
DAYS if they will return to work on the
fourth day.
HERSTAL Belgium, April 12.-Employ-
ers here while deploring the strike. have
decided to aid their hands in participant
ing in the demonstration in favor OF man
hood suffrage. One manufacturer mas
undertaken to feed fifty children as long
as the strike lasts, and others have
agreed to pay the strikers a weeks
wages.
The strike here will be almost complete
Only enough workmen Will remain at
their posts to keep the machinery in
,,,orkipp condition.

Bryan Non-Committal.

Secretary Bryan was non-commital
when told of the Japanese government
instructions to Ambassador Chinda, as re-
corded in the news dispatches. to make
formal representations in regard to: the
California land legislation construed as
anti-Japanese. He expressed only the
sentiment that 1t would be time to con-
slider formal representations after the
laws in question had been passed by the
California legislature and were under com
sideration by the governor.
Representative Raker told President
Wilson today he had a telegram from
Senator Sanford Of California containing
assurances that the alien land bill when
to conflict with any treaty obligations be-
tween the United States and Japan.
President Hopeful.
President Wilson has expressed the
hope that the pending legislation In
California, by which aliens ineligible
to American citizenship would be pro-
hibited from owning land, will not
prove Objectionable to Japan.
He realizes that Japan Is inclined to
view such legislation as contradiction
Of the spirit Of her treaty with the
United States, and. while officially un-
able to interfere in the situation, he
expressed confidence that the Califor-
international difficulties. would enact
a law that would prove acceptable to
Japan.
Measuring word that the California
legislature will SO frame its law has
come indirectly to the National Capital
and the administration does not believe
it is likely to be confronted with any Sc
rious situation.

to similar bodies in San, Francisco and
Los Angeles and elsewhere, asserting
that the result of the legislation will be
disastrous for trade between the United

$4,000. The Methodist Episcopal Church also
we note by It's papers, is facing "a grave situa-
ton in that as the years pass it becomes grow
lngly difficult to provide the $4,000 and more
needed to support the bishops of thai body
mere the embarrassment OF board formed to
conouct foreign mission enterprise is q church
crsls nature to secure support for certain types
OF Christian activity is, fer Cnother body an
alarming situation" and the unwingness of
the people to finance gre p of dignitaries is
Solemnly regarded as grave situation" But,
really, what have these things to do with the
the church of Jesus Christ that shading of their
prospects should be regarded as crisis in Chris
tlan work? Was the church made for boards or
boards Tor the church? Ale agencies to be
regarded as reliance and support of the church,
or are they instruments chosen to be made use of
as long as they serve good purpose? Shall our
IlStan" trethr N give up trying to save the
o because t e particular method they have
tried does not seem to meet the case? Shall the
United Presbyter.ans enroll as having failed at
the missionary enterprise because perforce, par
cular form of organization failed to elicit desired
funds for its operation? Does Methodism and
its mission depend upon the perpetuation of an
order of ecclesiastics?
The plain truth is that all of these things that
Vex the brethren are extra-Scriptural and there
fore OF value only so long they serve the cause
OF Christ. At any time, therefore, when they
cease to function profitably, they may be per-
mitted to decline or may even be discarded for
better methods!

Isn't that the contention that I have been
making all along?
The methods of William Gary are wrong:

Bryan Has Forgiven
Champ CIark!!
CONCLUDED FROM PAGE ONE

O, what breach, of good taste ana good
manners and good Christianity! Bryan was
hurt with Clark: Bryan deplored the ambi-
ton Of Clark: Bryan felt it to be his patriotic
duty to discipline Clark: Bryan determined
that, as a Christian, he must initiate the
Lord and chasten one whom he loved as he
loved Clark.
Bryan's State went for Clark So much
the worse for the State: the State must also
be chastened, for Bryan loved his State
almost as unselfshly as he loved Clark.
Therefore, Bryan intrigued himself into
the delegation to Baltimore, meehzy accept
ing the conditions put upon him by his State
Those conditions were that Bryan and the
other delegates to Baltimore should use all
honorable means to secure Clark's nomina-
ton.
Immediately after has acceptance Of these
conditions, Mr. Bryan continued his cam
paign speeches against Clark the candidate
to whose support he was in honor pledged, so
far as he has any honor
Champ Clark complained Of this conduct
Of Bryan.
This shows how hard it was for the Peer
less Bryan to please such man as Clark
This complaint that Clark made of Bryan,
was one of the sins which Bryan has now
forgiven.
Bryan-a Clark delegate, mind you
called upon the various Democratic candi-
dates, in advance Of the Baltimore conven-
ton to pledge themselves against Judge Alton
3. Parker.
Who is Judge Parker?
He is the man that Bryan pretended to
support for the Presidency Of the United
States IN 1904.
In that campaign, Bryan made IS speeches
a day for Parker, speaking from special
train furnished by August Belmont and
Thomas F. Ryan.
In that campaign, Bryan assured his
devoted followers-one of whom was Champ
Clark-that Parker ought to be made Presi-
dent!
He said that Parker's ideals were the same
as his own, compared Parker to Moses, and
most vociferouszy told the Democrats that has
support Of PARKER a0as absolutely sincere.
BRYAN WANTED JUDGE PARKER
FOR PRESIDENT! At least he said so!
That was in 1904.
But in 1912, the same Bryan demanded
that Champ Clark and the other Democratic
candidates pledge themselves to him. Bryan,
as against the candidacy of the same Judge

Uention!
In 1904, Bryan compelled Clark and all
the others to support Judge Parker for Presi
dent of the United States-the highest Office,
oCith fOui-years tenure
But in 1912, the same Bryan, was demand
ing that the same Parker be defeated for q
purely honorary position, in party conven-
ton, achich position could only be held FOR
4 FEW HOURS!
Champ Clark felt that he could not yield
to Bryan's arrogant demand, without being
grossly inconsistent, and without splitting up
his own followers.
Champ Clark left it to the Convention to
say who should be it's officers
O, what sin that was against Bryan!
The Peerless One can pardon it now, for
time has melloWed resentments; and many
sermons and lectures on religion have had a
softening effect.
But What else did Champ Clark do to
Bryan?
The answer is
Clark actually failed to cuss out his mana
gers, when those managers allowed the New
Ork delegation to vote for Clark
True, Clark was not present-he being at
his post of duty in Washington.
True, Bryan aOd8 instructed to be one of
those C1arb managers, but he wasn't
True, Bryan might have stepped to the tele
phone and communicated with Clark and
given the old hero chance to deny that any
deal had been made with the Mex Workers.
Did Bryan give Clark any chance? No.
Did Bryan wait for any proof of Clark's
sell out? No.
Did Bryan have scintllla of evidence that
Clark had sold out? No.
Like the NOBLE unselfsh, uncalculating,
patriot and Christian that he is, Bryan at
once denounced Clark
For what?
For being voted for by New York
Wasn't that enough? Truly.
Anyway, it suficed. 1t gave Bryan the
excuse to do what he went there to do He
knitted the absent Clark-the Clark who for
16 years had been most loyal, most earnest,
most useful champion of William J. Bryan
he Of the culture eyes and the shark mouth.
With sinful wrath, Champ Clark bitterly
denied the foul charge q0h5ch his instructed
Delegate had so suddenly sprung upon him.
This was very wrong in Clark. He ought
to have pleaded guilty and thrown himself
upon the mercy of the court.
True, the charge merited Clark's language,
when he said 1t acas not only false, but @fa-
nous.
But, as Bryan was the accuser, Clark ought
to have refrained from any defence.
True, this false and Infamous charge, lost
Clark the nomination, and lost him the Presi-
dency.
That was bitter-for such another chance
will never come again.
True, Bryan's false and infamous charge
broke into Clarks following, demoralized his
managers and carried Neao York. to Wilson'S
support
Did Bryan denounce Wilson WHEN NEW
YORK LEFT CLARK and acent qcith BRIAN
TO WILSON? No.
Falling deeper into his sin, Champ Clark
