An effort is on foot to make vo-
tiers believe that Bryan is for peace
and that Daniels is ruled by him.
The latter is and has been at sea SO
far as our ability to meet the de-
mands for it, and the former, as we
see it, is simply laying plans for
self-aggrandizement in the hope
that his tom -foolcry in espousing
this, that and the other for years
almost out of mind to land himself
IN the White House, that time and
brief at that, has proved ridiculous
and made him laughing stock.
His crown of thorns' gave the
same national and international re-
noWn that Booker II. Washington S
palm and finger Atlanta, Geor-
gia speech gave him. Eliminate
both, and both men would be back
numbers. Bryan is a misft, and
ought to resign. A coward is al
ways in trouble; a brave man, is
like bulldog not kicked around -
the hound dog origin of Champ
Clarke political song is all h e
proof wanted. Peace on earth in
this age, is overpowering ability in
defending any country and it's bet
ter to spend millions Oh this line
and keep peace than by cowardice
lose millions of lives, prestige and

Chicago Council Passes Infamous Dance
Bar Bill
Bar Bill
VETS Warned by Drys

Again the Chicago Council has gone on record as
favorng special bar permits, licensing the sale OF IL
o1or in dance halls. 1t has been shown time and
again that these dance halls responsible Tor the
debauching of tens of thousands of boys and girls
Liquor is sold by minors to minors and there Is no
attempt at regulation.
In urging the passage of this bill, the vets have
given the Dry Chicago Federation some excellent
campaign material All the reform forces in the city
were opposed its passage, and the line was clearly
drawn between the United Societies and the various
liquor organizations the one hand, and the people
who stand for temperance and decency on the other
The Chicago Tribune summarizes some OF the points
made against the bill in Council as follows.
Alderman Merriam-You have gone too far in fixing the
closing hour at 800 a.
Alderman Watson-Across the water they are stopping
the use of intoxicants 1t ought to be willing
o curtal them
Alderman Kimbal1-I believe that hour should
liquor be sold in dance halls.
Alderman Krause-The United Societies have shown
more conc1usvey than that they do not stand for
decency.
Alderman Kjeender-The United Societies should take
heed that the day is fast coming when liquor will
be sold in dance halls
Alderman Lipps-I don't believe privilege refused sa
looms should be extended to Others
Alderman Fisher hope very soon to have the pleasure
of voting an ordinance exclude liquor from dance
halls altogether.
