Bryan Turns Back on st. Louis
$4,000.

Secretary of State Bryan is not to
be beguiled from his original Chau-
tauqua programme, even by the pros
poets of splitting the receipts OF a
$4,000 house in St. Louis. In a let
ter he turns his back on 49, 900 for
an hours address. -
An offer to play" Mr.. Bryan in
the St. Louis Coliseum was wired by
Spearman Lewis to the secretary OF
state last week while Mr. Bryan was
lecturing at Winona Lake, Ind.
Attention was called to the fact
that, while St. Louis had no Chau-
tauqua circle, the Coliseum was
sponsored by the Business Mems
League and that it. frequently hous-
ed capacity audiences of 5000 at
popular prices, $4,000 was estimated
as the capacity business, to which
Mr.. Bryan is lecturing at every ap-
pearance.
The Chautauqua booking agency
that is handling Mr.. Bryan's tour
signs him on what is known as fifty
fifty, one-half the gross receipts, the
division beginning with guarantee
of $3.50 for the secretary OF state,
the next $3.50 to the promoters, and
an equal division of all over $500.
Mr.. Bryan's share of a capacity
house at the Coliseum, therefore,
would have been $4,000. .-.'
In declining the offer Mr.. Bryan
wrote as follows to Mr.. Lewis:
l am only lecturing during a
limited period and then only at
Chautauquas, and cannot consider,
therefore, the proposition you are
kind enough to submit.
Very truly yours, j..
-.. w. J. BRYAN.

From Highway Commissioner BEARD.

Mt. Ayr, August Q, 1913.
To the Readers of The Reporter: !,
Leon, Iowa. "
have been too busy since my last
communication to get another one.
But l want your consideration for
what follows.
In the first place l want to know
what you tax payers think of the
work the boards have been doing
with tractors on your roads. l do
not think much of it. l think it
makes the road worse than it was be-
fore because they do not leave it in
a finished condition and because on
the hills when the tractor work is
done the hills are higher than they
were before by the heighth of the
rounded up middle. Then l think
the work costs too much. You are
told that it costs $1,000 to $500
per day to do this work but the in
terest and depreciation in value on
these tools amounts to ten dollars
for every day they can be used in a
year. 1 have argued this matter out
with number of boards and they
have gone ahead and bought trac-
tors and now would like to get
some opinions from the ones paying
the bills as to this work.
A number OF boards of supervi-
sors have thought they were making
themselves popular by neglecting or
refusing to work and laying it to the
new law. If in your county you have
not been getting road work done in
the last As days the fault is with
the board of supervisors. They
could have done the work for you.
If they have not you should get at
ter them. The Highway Commits
sion has been after them and in
many counties we have gotten much
work. But some are still standing
out. Get after them, they can make
more bridges safe before winter.
A number of counties are to de-
fend law suits because traction en-
gines have gone through bad bridges.
Others have to, defend suits because
other injuries have come from bad
bridges. The board have right to
anticipate next years revenues by is
suing warrants and having them
stamped not paid for want of funds,
these will draw interest at six per
cent. Now this means a bridge built
this fall and paid for next May,
will cost about three dollars more
because of interest on each hundred
dollars of cost than if left danger
GUS till spring. The question is: Do
you believe in safety first If you
tax payers do, have them built this
fall by going after the boards with
that demand. Otherwise have bad
bridges till spring ana take the
chances of making widows and or
phans and getting damage cases with
them. Some people do not care for
the widows and orphans but do for
the damages. -
Since my letter of some time since
l have heard from many about the
rural routes. ! have gotten some
trustees interested in fixing these
roads. But the trustees claim the
people along the roads will not drag
as they should or as they agree.
There are two sides to this. The
government may take your rural
route away if you do not drag. Help

Fair Play for Auto Drivers.

The automobile is permanent in
stitution 1t is unfortunate that the
small percentage of drivers who are
reckless bring unmerited censure
upon the vast majority, who exercise
caution to obey the law and avoid ac-
cidents.
Automobiles can and should do
much to suppress joy-riding, and
keep irresponsible and incompetent
drivers from endangering life.
The pedestrian public frequently
has just cause to be angered at scat
ter-brained speeding. But it should
not class every autoist who gets into
an accident as a law-breaking des-

A SENSIBLE PROPOSAL.

Representative Moon of Tennessee,
chairman of the House Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads, has in
troduced bill providing for amend
ments to the postal laws, which are
stated to have the approval of the
Postmaster General. One of them is
of special Importance to the public 1t
provides that money orders may be
cashed at any post office instead of at
a specified office, as at present. There
has never been any satisfactory expla-
nation why this change has not been
made long ago. Travelling men and
others have frequently been placed at
great inconvenience through the re-
ceipt Of money order in letter
which had been forwarded to a dis
lance from the first address. The
money order could be cashed only at
the specified office, and yet the money
which it represented had been paid
over to the government, together with
the fee for the order. The money or.
der ought to be good for it's face at any
post office in the country. 1t would

THE PASSING OF MALARIA.

At melting of the Royal Colonial
Institute in London, recently, Dr. NAL
colin Watson gave an account of his
work in the prevention of malaria in
the Federated Malay states. He show
ed that pool-breeding mosquitoes could
be abolished by open drainage, that
stream-breeders could not be abolish
ed, but required drainage, and that
countries with no hill-stream breeders
had no hill malaria. He described in
vestigations which he had carried out
in other parts of the world where ma
lariOus conditions more or less prevail
ed, in the Duars at the foot of the Him.
alyas, and in the Jeypore hills in
Madras; in Sumatra, Panama, British
Guiana and Barbados, and declared
that the new knowledge had given
absolute control over the malaria Of
low, fiat land, and high hopes of con-
troll over that in hill land. There was
also every hope of abolishing malaria
from rice-fields. He believed that the
prevention of malaria, the improve
ment in health of the agriculturist and
the cultivation Of the land were all in
timately connected and that what
helped the one would improve the
other. The enormous commercial
value of the control or prevention of
malaria in tropical countries will be
appreciated by all familiar with con.
ditions in these ocalities.-American

DRUNME:R'S Def
CHIEF OF POLICE WILLING TO
LET PEOPLE PASS ON
RECORD.

Jackson, Miss, Dec. 19.-Replying to
the def addressed to him by Maj. John
Armstrong, commercial traveller and
member OF the governors military
staff, in which the suggestion is made
that he submit the question whether
his administration of the police depart
ment of the city is in accord with the
views and meets the approval Of the
people generally, T. P. Barr, chief Of
police, in answering the communica-
ton, indicates his entire willingness
to leave it to The people. In this note
Mr.. Barr says: Il will say, in reply to
Mr. Armstrong; challenge, If he will
stick to the track we can have race,
and l will not ask him to pay the
election expenses, either. This is a
clear-cut issue and intend to hold him
to it."
Mr.. Barr stated today that he be-
lieves the majority of the people OF
Jackson are in accord with the law en-
forcement policy of the present city
| administration, and that he would be
! perfectly willing to submit that ques
ton to them. Should a majority vote
for Mr.. Armstrong; principles, then
he declared, 81 will tender my resig
| nation Immediately"
The controversy has attracted cit!
wide interest, and on the surface thu
| majority sentiment seems to lean to
ward the police chief, as the official
record shows the police patrol to b.

STOCK EXCHANGE GAMBLING.

Congressman B. P. Harrison, of the
Sixth Mississippi District, on Monday
introduced a bill in Congress to En-
courage and Promote Commerce
Among the States and With Foreign
Nations, and to Remove DISTINCTIONS
Thereto" and at the same time intro
duced resolution authorizing and re-
questing the President of the United
States to invite the governments Of
Great Britain and other countries to
appoint representatives to join repre-
sentatives of the United States to con-
slider the question of eliminating the
gambling features in food and agri-
cultural products on the exchange in
such countries.
The object Of Mr. Harrison's bill is,
as its title implies, to prevent corner
ing" of the market or the governing
of prices by the buying and selling of
futures on the exchanges. 1t is wide
in its scope and covers everybody un-
der the sun directly or indirectly con-
nected with such operations and states

for what 1t does not confine itself to
the suppression Of Exchange gamb-

the event they accept the invitation
extended to confer on this subject, re-
quests the President to appoint three
representatives on the part of this gov
eminent to represent the United States
at such conference and appropriates
the sum Of $4,000 to pay their ex-
penses.
The elimination of exchange gamb-
ling has been the aim Of many Congress
siona1 bills but none of them have ever

been proclaimed from one end Of this
nation to the other, yet somehow this
