BRYAN ENUGHTENS
REPORTERS
PAINTS A WORD PICTURE OF HIS
IDEAL FOR THE FUTURE
AMERICAN NATION.

Washington, March 6.-Secretary Of
State Bryan gave to tho press today
the first official statement as to his
views on the national position OF the
detailed discussion of foreign relations,
preferring to confine himself to Il
general intilnation of his attitude. For
this purpose he used an abstract from
Il speech he delivered nearly Is wears
ago.
The secretary's statement follows:
Il DO not care to speak of our for
eign relations or our nations position
in relation to any particular nation or
question, but my views on our ma
tional position are expressed in the
closing words of the speech which /
delivered at indianapolis, August s,
1900. The words to which / refer are
as follows and show that am in
hearty accord With President Wilson
in his desire to promote international
peace and good will:
q can conceive of a national des-
tiny surprising the slories of tho
present ana the pasta destiny which
meets the responsibilities of today and
| measures up to the possibilities Of the
future. Behold a republic, resting Sc
curely upon the foundation stone
quarried by revolutionary patriots
from the mountain of eternal truth
a republic applying in practice and
proclaiming to the world the self-evi-
dent propositions that all men are ere
ated equal; that they are endowed by
their Creator with inalienable rights;
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erncd. Behold a republic in which
civil and religious liberty stimulate all
to earnest c~ndeaNor and in which the
law restraints every hand uplifted for
a neighbours injury-a republic in
which every citizen is a sovereign, but
in which no II cares or dares to wear
q crown. Behold a republic standing
erect while empires all round are
bowed beneath the weight of their
W arn1aments-a republic whose
flag is loved while other flags are
only feared. Behold a republic in
creasing in population, in wealth, in
v - -" ~ i'Ai'|iiNNi Ait'
problems of civilization and Fastening
the coming of al universal brother
hood-a republic which shakes thrones
and dissolvcs a~ristocracies by its ST
lent example n gives light and in
%spiration to those who sit in dark
ness. Behold a republic gradually but
surely becoming the supreme moral
factor in the worlds progress II the
accepted arbiter of the worlds dis
4putes-a republic whose history, like
the path of the just, is. as the shin
ing light that shineth more and more
unto the perfect day.
This was Mr.. Bryan's answer to a
small army of newspaper men gath
cred at the department intent on
learning definitely what changes, if
any. the now administration will make
in the policy of the government re-
carding Mexico, the Philippines, Latin

LINCOLN BECOMES A WET CITY,

Lincoln, Neb.-After several chang
es back and forth, this city has gone
"wet" again. Prohibition in several
forms and under the most favorable
circumstances has been tried out
numerous times, but after a more or
less lengthy period of it the city has
always returned to regulation. The
reason for this is that prohibition in
Lincoln has never proved to be sue
cess. Although the home Of William
j. Bryan, an earnest advocate Of tenn
perance, who favored the abolition of
the saloon here, each succeeding year
has proved more and more the fail
ure of the scheme.
Lincoln is not what might be called
. wide open town. A large majority
Of its citizens are law-abiding people.
They believe in morality and good
citizenship. Yet law which would
regulate their personal habits has in
the main proved obnoxious to them
and they have resented such drastic
regulations. 1t has also been we'll
established that when prohibition has
been substituted for regulation the
illicit dealers have grown in proper
ton. The people here believe that
regulation in the open is better than
prohibition which does not prohibit

A CASEY RAILROAD WRECK.

Des Moines, Iowa.--What won't the
people in a dry community do to Sc
cure liquor? A short time ago the
Rock Island road had wreck near
Casey, small town just west Of here.
Among the cars that were ditched
was one loaded with liquor. After
the wreck was cleared up and the
contents Of the car checked over il
was found that Ave barrels and LOG
cases Of whisky had been stolen from
the consignment. Railroad detectives
were put on the case, and as result
seven men, mostly farmers, from the
surrounding community, have been
placed under arrest. Three barrels Of
whisky are still missing, but the Of
ficers say that they have them located
and several more arrests are likely
to follow. The sight Of good liquor
in . community where 1t is prohibited
evidently proved too much for the
farmers and they improved their op-
portunity while 1t lasted.
Does anyone think that the men
who took the liquor from the wrecked
car are not securing it from other
sources when such golden opportuni-
ties as this one proved to be, does not
come their way?

DID NOT FIGHT m TIE OPEN.

Louisville, Ky.--The Kentucky
Anti-Saloon League has at last shown
its hand. When the Webb bill was
before congress, members Of the
league said that their only object in
urging the passage Of the bill was to
stop the shipment of liquor consigned
to persons for illegal purposes. In
other words all it wanted to do was
to cut out the bootlegger and the
"speak-easy." It was especially en-
.phasized at the time that the bill was
not aimed at the man who wanted to
purchase liquor for his own .consump-
ton.
Now an active worker and promi-
nent Kentucky member Of the league
has made the following statement:
1T Is not so much the bootlegger and
the blind tiger psddler that we were
after when we asked congress to pass
the Webb bill. The local state au.
thorities can always get after them,
but Whist we want is some means Of
stopping shipments for personal use.
What is the use of our going 10 the
effort and expense Of voting county
or q state dry" il every man in such
territory can order and get liquor
shipped to him for his own use and
the use Of his friends and family. It
Is this practice which we intend to
break up"
Thus it will be seen that the Anti
Saloon League did not fight in the
open when it urged the passage of
the Webb bill. WI ,ther the bill af-
fects shipments for personal use de-
ponds entirely upon the law Of each
separate state. One prominent Anti
Saloon League man has stated, how
ever, that a law which would affect
absolute prohibition would be the
death knell Of the present temperance
movement. And when the Kentucky
Anti-Saloon League attempts to stop
the private consumption Of liquor 1t
will find that it has taken upon itself
pretty hard problem.

WANT A PETITION
IN THE COUNTY
Anamosa Does Not Like Twenty. One
Per Cent. to Control.
WANT MAJORITY TO GOVERN

Anamosa, Iowa.-Seventy-nine per
cent Of the voters of this city signed
the petition to substitute the regulat-
ed saloon for the present conditions
that exist here, yet under the law the
request was denied. In the meantime
over 5000 empty whisky bottles have
been picked up on the streets Of Ana
mosa since the first Of the year. Now
there Is we'll defined movement to
circulate q petition over the entire
tsounty in an effort to secure petit
Non so that saloons may be operated
n the various towns. It is stated also
that . good many citizens who are
not partial to saloons have slgnified
their intention Of signing it, as a
protest against the law which would
let such small minority govern so
large majority.
When twenty-one per cent Of the
people Of the town have absolute con-
troll Of the personal habits of so large
q majority there is always discord.
Where a majority Of the citizens of
q town or community believe no Sd
looms should exist it is right that they
should not be allowed to operate. But
why should not this same privilege
be given to the majority when the
sentiment is the other way? This is
the "bee" that sticks in the "bonnets"
Of good many citizens in Anamosa
and Jones county. In the meantime
it is too plain to be denied that con-
ditions here are growing from bad to
worse. For the man who INDUCES in
liquor at all, whisky seems to be the
universal drink. A change in the
laws 50 they would be reasonably fair
to both sides Of the issue would be
welcome here.

WHAT LIFE SAYS !
ABOUT BRYAN
Claim BE Misjudses His Guests aud
Doubts Their Seli.Restraint.
l" THE WESTERN PURlTANISn. "

I Life:-Of course it is not ut all i'm
portant whether Mr.. Bryan serves
wine to ambassadors or not. They
can always take nip before they 60
to his house 10 dinner, and another
when they get home, and that's plenty
II they eat with due restraint. But
Mr.. Bryan's official Inequalities, like
Mr.. Marshall's speeches, perfectly IL.
lustrate the western Puritan attitude,
that seems to say: My way is right,
your way is wrong. Yea ought to
b like me, and in so far ~ lean, I'll
make you follow my pattern.
This western Puritan conception of
life is not big enough. 1t is cramped
by inevitable limitations Of expert
ence and observation. There is not
room in 1t for all the desirable varie.
ties of human beings. It Is not deep
enough, not wide enough, not old nor
liberal, nor civilized enough; but it's
fairly sound, and fairly kind and
strong and will come into its own, no
doubt in the Lords good time, and a
good deal by way Of the colleges and
Europe.
The west has inadequate experience
of life, and it does not know it. Mr..
Bryan has inadequate experience Of
polite life. He did what he thought
was right about not Offering wine to
the ambassadors, and that is to be
respected. But if he had been a more
sophisticated man he would have rea-
lized that the ambassadors were fully
competent to use discrimination about
beverages, and that it was no part Of
his duty to restrict their choice while
they were his guests.

Take Plenty of Time to Ea:

There Is saying that rapid eat
ing is slow suicide" If you have
formed the habit of eating too rapid
ly you are most likely suffering from
indigestion or constipation, which
will result eventually in serious ill.,
ness unless corrected. Digestion be-
gins in the mouth. Food should be
thoroughly masticated and insalivat-
ed. Then when you have fullness
of the stomach or feel dull and stupid
after eating, take one of Chamber
