William Jennings Bryan
Once Again Announces His
Presidential Aspirations

Washington. ID. c., April 9.-Secre-
tary Bryan will take the lead in the
fight against the liquor interests He
promised to-day to go into Pennsyl-
vania to make speeches next year for
local option. He is more interested in
the antiliquor movement than any
issue of the many that he has adopted.
If his duties permit, Secretary Bryan
will begin his fight in Ohio this year.
To-day he promised Ohio Democratic
leaders to take the stump in that State
for Statewide prohibition. If he
cannot go, he said he would write a
letter to the people of that State favor
ing the issue.
Mr. Bryan. it is said by keen po-
litical observers, is taking up this issue,
in which he is undoubtedly sincerely
and devoted interested, in the hope, if
the situation should properly develop,
of being the Democratic candidate for
President in 1916.
Mr.. Bryan said to-day to a Philadel-
phia admirer that the biggest question
before the American people was the
liquor problem. His activity in this
direction goes to show that he is either
preparing to become either a candi-
date for the fourth time for President
or to enlarge his lecture field.

NEURALGIC PAINS

These may be felt in any nerve of the
BODY but are most frequent in the
nerves of the head. Neuralgia may be
caused by a decayed tooth, eye-strain
or a diseased ear, but the most COM
mon cause is general debility accom-
panied by anemia, or thin blood.
For this reason women who work
too hard or dance too much and who
do not get sufficient rest, sleep and
fresh air, arc the most frequent suf-
ferers from neuralgia and sciatica,
which is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve.
Nutrition for the nerves is the cor
rect treatment for neuralgia and the
only way to nourish the nerves is
through the blood. DIR. Williams Pink
pills supply to the blood just the ele-
ments 1t needs to increase it's capacity
to carry nourishment to starved nerves.
They have proved helpful in so many
cases of neuralgia and sciatica that
any sufferer from these troubles l.
fully justified in giving these pills a
trial DR.. Williams Pink Pills con-
tain no harmful or t-forming
drugs and may be taken for any length
of time with perfect safety.

vous System" is free to you if You

lock Holmes back to the world, and
not only is il the first new Sherlock
Holmes story for ten years, but also
half it's action is laid in America, for
which reason it attracted great in
terest in America even before its pub
lication.
The second reason for the keen in
terest in Conan Doyle is his active
share in presenting the English side
of the present war; its causes and con-
duct. How widely his influence was
felt may be judged from the fact that
when the Germans established their
war zone blockade, on February is,
there was carried on the cables and
printed all over England wildcat
story to the effect that the Germans
had been inspired to that action by
reading Danger" a short story by
Doyle published at about the begin
ming of the war. In this story he pic
tured the conquest of England by a
mythical country called "Norland," by
means of submarine blockade.
Naturally, the rumor was not received
with enthusiasm by the ardent admir-
ers of the author.
Doyle's important writings upon the
war have been recently dignified with
publication in book form, under the
title of THE German War published

@THII STEPS"

n is to be sincerely hoped that Com
missioner Lynch's plan for the com
pletion of the river wall steps along
the abandoned coal wharf between
Market and Walnut streets will be
adopted by Council. There is no longer
any need for wharfage facilities at the
point named and the logical thing to
do is to remove the wall that has been
erected there and replace it with a
continuation of the concrete steps that
now run almost from one end of the
city to the other.
Only in this way can be maintained
the harmonious effect of this great
promenade. the like of which there is
not elsewhere in the whole country
II there is any doubt about money at
hand for the completion of the inn
provement along the plans suggested
by Mr.. Lynch, then it would be much
better to let the matter stand as it is
for the present. The permanent es-
tablishment of what amounts to a
wharf at that point would be a very
serious interruption of the unquestion-
ably artistic effect of the whole inn
proVement. But the amount involved
in not so large. 1t would seem, as to
seriously hamper councimen in their
efforts to finish up this great work all
at the same time.

THE STATE AND BRIDGES

OGNATOR BEIDLEMAN has pre-
sented a bill in the Senate appro-
~ priating $275, 200 for the erection
of a bridge across the Susque-
hanna river at Millersburg, There can
be question of the need OF bridge at
that point. There is no bridge nearer
that thriving community than Clark's
Ferry. Millersburg lies at the end
of a fertile and thickly-populated val
ley. The road that runs through it
goes into Northum berland and Schuyl-
kill counties. on the west side of the
river lies an equally well populated
territory. Millersburg could be made
a business place of far greater i'm
portance than it is and the people of
a great surrounding territory would
be benefited by such a bridge as is
proposed.
The time is fast approaching when
the State will have to so into the
bridge building business on a large
scale Bridges that join two sections
of State highway must belong to the
State. 1t is absurd that condi-
Ition should be allowed to exist such as
confronts the motorists going in or
out of Harrisburg to or from the West
where two sections of improved high
way, one built by the city and the
other by the State, lead up TO either
one of two toll bridges.

\PpOMATTOX

TTFTY years ago to-day General
r. Grant accepted the surrender of
! General Lee at Appomattox. The
United States had justified itself
The government OF Washington and
Lincoln was perpetuated for all time.
Then the future was as dark almost
as the present. Nobody could peer
through the awful curtain that hung
between the destruction of war and
the reconstruction of the peace that
was to follow. General Grant it was
who struck the keynote. Grant it was
who extended all the courtesies and
kindnesses that one brave man might
expect of another to Lee. Grant it was
who, after the tiger strife was over,
first extended the good right hand of
American brotherhood to the rebel
leader and stood by his action with
the threat of resignation when STAN
ton would have dealt harshly with the
defeated general.
AS one writer has said, it was the
humane and generous terms offered to
the beaten, disorganzed and famished
army of Northern Virginia that de-
cided Lee not only to sheathe his
sword but to urge his men ito go as
quickly and quietly to their homes as
POSSIBLE, to resume peaceful avoca-
tions, and to be as good citizens as
they had been soldiers"
And that is the spirit that animates
I Americans to-day. There is no North

WAR

The thrill of wars base deceit;
The rattle of the drums q lie.
1t lures brave men with scurrying feet
To go where many dangers lie
1t sings n soldiers death is sweet
1t tells how great it is to die.
And yet no death can splendid be
That's caused by selfishness and
pride;
The weeping widow-does not she
Long for the husband at her side /?
Can any selfish victory
Restore the loved one that has died :?
To die for others may be fine,
But not to die for others gain.
The thin and faltering, battle line.
The dead men on the bloody plain
Are seldom there by Gods design;
Some human soul must wear the
stain.
Murder in uniform is war,
Exalted only by a thrill,
And how long must 1t be before
Men will not blindly rush to kill?
How many generations more
Before the cannon's voice is still ?

WHY HE KEPT A SERVANT

In the days when he was supern-
tendent of the Portsmouth dockyard
in England, Lord Fisher, the present
Admiral of the British Fleet. had the
sea-doG attitude toward the men; he
frequently treated them with all the
harshness of a whaling captain; they,
in turn, treated him with a half
friendly, half-hostile familiarity
Several years after his Portsmouth
days, Fisher visited one of his old as
sooates of the forecastle who was
then living on half pay. He found the
old man comfortably settled in a cot
tage, attended by another superan-
nuated seaman.
why do you have this other man
here?" asked the Admiral.
- keep i'm ere" said the pen
sioner, ITO come into my quarters at
five o'clock in the mornin' an sing out
Hi there. the Hadmiral wants to see
YOU. At that | merely rolls over in
my bed and says, Tell Old Fisher to
go to ELL '"-"World's Work" for
