Bryan's WiEeless Dinner.

AT dinner some time ago, given
by the Secretary and Mrs. William
J. Bryan to the diplomats at
Washington in honor of Ambassa-
dor Bryce on the eve of his return
to England, unfermented grape
juice was substituted for wine
which is usually served on stale oc-
sations. The incident was imme-
diately seized upon by critics the
country over as an unprecedented
break, and The comments called
forth statement from Mr.. Bryan
in which he explains how the tee
total" customs of his house have
been observed and how they will
continue thus in his official rela-
lions with the govern ment.
Mr.. Bryan does not drink wine
and he does not propose that it
should be served his guests, no
matter what the custom or the oc-
casion. He is not attempting to
establish official precedent only in
so-far as the custom effects the
house of Bryan.
Notwithstanding the criticism
the "wineless dinner" has provok-
ed, at hume and abroad, the exam
pie will be far reaching in its infu.
ence for temperance.
Here is Mr.. Bryan's state
ment:
I'VE do not intend to magnify,
by mentioning it, the importance of
the non-use of wine at the dinner
to Ambassador Bryce M onday night,
but as the papers have made some
inaccurate reference to the mat
ter the fact might as well be
known.
This was the first dinner which
we have given the members of the
diplomatic corps, and therefore the
first time when We came into con-
flict with the social customs of
serving wine at dinner. The seven
other bassadors then in the city
and their ladies were invited to meet
Ambassador and Mrs. Bryce and an
all the gentlemen guests present
were from foreign countries l
thought it proper to explain to them
the reason for our failure to con.
form to what seems to have been
customary in the matter. Believ-
ing that the issue should be met
frankly in the beginning, | told
them, when we sat down TO the ia
BILE, that Mrs. Bryan and | had been
tee-totalers from our youth, as were
our parents before Us, and had new
er. served liquors at our table; that
when the president was kind
enough to tender me the portfolio
of state asked him whether our
failure to serve wine would be any
embarrassment to the administra-
tion and he generously left the
matter to our discretion.
II suggested that / thought it
unfair to assume that those coming
to us from abroad would Judge
us harshly, as being unwilling to
tolerate the maintenance of ira
ditional custom, and expressed the
hope that our friendship would be
made 80 apparent to them and our
hospitality so cordial that they
would overlook this weakness in
us, if they regarded it as a weak
ness. My remarks were applauded
by the company, and we never spent
a more enjoyable evening.
THAT is all there is 10 the mat
ter and we consider the in cident
closed and the custom established
80 far as we are concerned" ."-Lau'
rens Herald.

That the local police force will be re

It was stated that the cut was in thu

forth by the city commissioners in the
annual budget.
According to the appropriation for
the maintenance of the police depart
ment for the coming year, said Chief
Bodeler, "a reduction of Is patrol

1.-The cut in the police force to take
effect within a few days will leave
fraction of over two policemen for each
square mile of the city of Birming-
ham for the protection of its citizens
and taxpayers. The cities of Atlanta
and Memphis, both having about the
same population as Birmingham, with
out having to handle the criminal riff
raft of ex-convicts from the mines that
we have, have police forces nearly
twice the size of that of Birmingham.
We now have $40 patrolmen and de-
tectives. iWth the cut in effect the force
will be reduced to 112 patrolmen and
detectives.
Il want to state, however, that the
personnel of the local force, small as
it is, is the most efficient of any police
in this country. The local force is
practically self-sustaining when you
figure the amount of fines and the
days served by the prisoners at 50 cents
per day We have not been much
of drain on the city treasury.

MUCH TOLD IN THE LETTER
Epistle Better Than Any other POSI-
Bile Means of Getting True
Acquaintance.

Do you really want to get well ac
quainted with your friend or your
sweetheart? Then go away for a
while, where'a correspondence will be-
come necessary. There is nothing
like letter writing to bring out many
things that would remain hidden from
the beloved in ordinary conversation.
There may be many things hidden in
your own self that you do not suspect.
People who have become thoroughly
familiar with each other sometimes
become lazy about expressing them
selves when they are together. A
few commonplaces, hand-clasp, a
glance-these often suffice. But in the
letter one must express himself, and
much better and more clearly than
when there is expression of the face
and gesture to assist in an interpreta-
ton. You will never really know your
beloved until you have had opportu-
nifty for a long and full correspon'
dence in writing.
