state from the effects of liquor. Mr..
Bryan is from the dry state of Ten
nessee. Since the state went dry he
says the drug habit has increased
there. He asserted he had gathered
statistics from southern prisons and
found that the majority of men fell
into criminal tendencies before they
began to drink. He said he could be
supported in the statement by Al Jen-
nings, former train robber and ex-con-
vict now running for governor of the
state Of k,ahoma. Jennings studied
prison conditions When he served his
sentence and is the author of maya
zine articles depicting them. Bryan
said if administrative officials of pris-
ons would go further than the prison
chapels and tell convicts what to do
when they left prison they would be
doing bigger service for humanity.
Holding that government depended
on the consent of the governed, ana
that by consent of the governed" was
meant all or nearly all the governed,

Charles NJ. Bryan. city attorney of

audience which taxed the capacity of

J. l.. Haas. president of the Munich

coded Mr.. Bryan with a short speech
and the Metropolitan quartet sang.
While Mr.. Hass held the floor a man
entered the theatre and walked down

challenge the remarks OF the speaker
He waved a pamphlet he held in his

APPEALS FOR AID
IN RAISING FUND

The committee OF the Soldiers Mon
umental association, which next week
will start On a campaign for the rails
/ ing OF money to complete fund or
| $4,000 to erect e monument for soldiers
and sailors in Chippiannock cemetery.
today issued the following appeal for
support in the undertaking:
Death is the great leveler of human
ity, and puts us all upon the same COM
mon level. From Mother Earth we
came, and to Mother Earth we must
return. All our wealth. honor. glory
and distinction are left at the portals
of the grave. We cross the border
land, that lies between this and the
unknown land, poor and penniless and
alone, a stranger in a strange and I'M
known land, where the beggar and the
king, the millionaire and the pauper,
the genius and the unfortunate, lie
down together on the bosom of Mother
Earth as equals. While the annals of
history may record the deeds and
greatness of one, and fail TO remember
the other, yet they are equals in fur
nishing a banquet for the worms.
The veterans of the Civil and Span
fish wars, with all their aux;liaries. a
few years ago bought and paid for
burial lot in Chippiannock cemetery
which they might call their own, and
erected a flagstaff thereon, where we
could hold our Memorial day services.
and furnish n last resting place for
any veteran Of any American war. the
intention being that no veteran who
had fought in any American war should
sleep in a pauper's grave, If it is in
our power to prevent it. We admit all
who followed the flag, regardless of
rank. sect, creed or color, a resting
place within its sacred confines; but
chiefly those comrades who have been
unfortunate in the battle OF life and
have fallen by the wayside. and like
the Son of Man had no place to lay
mis- head.
And il is to these unfortunate
heroes we expect to erect a monument
with their name and a simple record
of their deeds, so that future genera
lions can point with pride TO that beau
tiful spot where our comrades sleep,
under the shadows of those grand old
trees. with old glory floating above
their peaceful repose. The committee
who has the erection OF this monument
in charge has exhausted their rescurc- I
es and now appeals 10 the business .
