BRYAN DISAPPROVES SPEECH
MADE BY PRES. WILSON

Madison, Wis, Jan. 23.-"The
Presidents message is a wonderful
ly eloquent appeal to the nations at
war" William Jennings Bryan said
in an interview here to-day. I'm so
far as the Presidents message sug-
gests terms of agreement. ii is en-
tirely sound and reflects what l be
lieve to be an almost unanimous sen
timent. But / dissent entirely from
the proposition that this nation
should join in a movement to effect
peace in Europe.
"lf ] know the sentiment of the
American people, it is inconceivable
that they should be willing TO put
the American army and navy at the
command of an international coun-
Gil, which would necessarily be con-
trolled by European nations and al
low that council TO decide for us
when we should go to war.
81 have more faith in our people
to help them by example than l have
in our country to help them by in
dorsing the European plan of relying
upon force and terrorism.
I'm the Presidents appeal to them.
he presents the philosophy of broth
erhood and cooperation and this is
with the proposition that
1t be backed up by larger display
Of force. In other words, the Pres
ident has sown wheat and tares to-
gether. hope that the Senate will
approve of the wheat and reject the
tares."

UNDERMINE THE PRESS

Washington, Jan. 24-Objectioue
to restrictions upon newspaper pul.
fishers proposed in the owen Cor
rupt Practices Bill were made to-
day to a Senate subcommittee by
Frank p. Glass, Birmingham, Ala
publisher and vice president of the
American Newspaper Publishers A.
ISOLATION.
Legal prohibition against printing
news of election betting, he said,
might be a stepping stone toward
further publication restrictions and
establish "a dangerous precedent
1.-The bill appears to 90 a consid-
cradle way in undermining tho in
of the press" said Mr..
Glass, although he said virtually all
publishers sympathize with its gen
eral aim to- prevent political cor
ruption Of the press.

Games and Still Plays.

Bloomington, Ill.-The champion
MT" OF the world is believed to be
Charles Conklin, a conductor on the
"a ash railroad. with a passenger
cain run between Chicago and st.
.ouis. He holds the record for play
ing the game OF solitaire. having 3d.
30 to his credit.
He is out to play 100000. When
he completes this number he may
give up the pastime. Then again,
and more likely, he may start TO
make it n million. His first game
as played in 1897.
He plays the bankers" game
lsed in many gambling houses.
here are various ways of play
ng aolitaire, but most players
ind the bankers game the most
oscirating. In the gambling houses
seually $50 is put up, 81 for each
ard in the deck.
Innhlin was curious to know how
much the proprietor cleaned up on
the players, and in order to satisfy
J' curiosity he decided to play
1000 games. lie learned that the
i2cpor was invariably the winner.
IN placing $50 upon each game the
player would be given SIS for every
card he was able to place upon the
ton layout"
In the 1000 games played Conk-
lin demonstrated that the player, up
on the average, was able to place but
eight cards on the layout in each
game, which Was only $40 in return
tor the $50 given the house, thus CIV
ing tho proprietor Si2 profit on every
sanc.
Conklin then became curious TO
know whether or not the average
would be the same in another thous-
and games. The competition of the
second thousand indicated that the
average was the same. 1t was then
that he determined to play 100000
games, commencing In 1897. He
finished his ninetieth thousand game
on May "a, 1914.

Advertises For Hunchbaclss.

Chicago, Jan. 24.--Scanners of

founded by reading three humbacks

fitable, IL competent"
Inquiry developed that tho Grip
Piles were wanted to operate certain
machines In an envelope factory
where delicacy OF touch rather than
strength was required.
"You see." said one OF tho firm
seeking the men, 'the girls have
been operating these machines. Now
we must operate night as well az day
and cannot employ women for the
night work. A normal man is too
strong and is apt TO be too clumsy.

conflicting, points of view. There
are certain terms OF exclusion. But
there are also certain terms of I'm
clusion.
The word gentleman has never
yet received a satisfactory and final
rating. You and ourselves know
what we meaen when we use the
term but from that to surrounding
1t with words is another and diff
ferent task.
And so we come back to where we
started. A Boy Scout is a gentle
man-and. believe us, there is no
where in the world, a better begin
ginning-nor a nobler finish. It's
an endless puzzle. Gentleman. we
have. and some of us think we
know. But. to defining him. or la
beling him, or anyways chloroform-
ing and sticking a pin In him-It
cant be done. It's intuitive. It's
bred In the bone. A man is.or he il
hot' ana tnere you are.
The Boy Scout has a creed and an
ideal. If there is in all the world
anything better than a creed-and
we admit them all. they are all good
or intend to be--if there is any
thing better than an ideal-and as
many of them as possible-we have
not met it.
But the Boy Scout has more. He
afiirms-let us take that affirmation.
Let us ask where. outside of II. will
be found such another gospel of cit
izenshipS
On my honor | will do my best
To do my duty to God and my
country, and to obey the Scout Law.
To help other people at all times.
To keep myself physically strong.
mentally awake. morally straight.
Show us the man who can live up
to these pledges and we will show
you gentleman. and, yes. broaden
ing the meaning OF the word, a Chris
tian.
It's great bis job to live to those
words But see what has been ac-
complished. The Boy Scout is an
asset, not toy.
The Boy Scout is recognized as a
center of responsibility.
The Boy Scout volunteers and
leads.
The Boy Scout can not vote. But
he is a citizen In the making. Some
day his vote will count.
In the vernacular. we have the
words-tle's good scout. They
are always a compliment. Always
they convey a saiutation.
On the seventh birthday OF the Boy
Scouts, We would give them the sa-
lutte If We were free of their lore.
But we are not. We can only shout
n distance. We are the merest
And they soar.--Lou-
syille Herald.

him q cigarette.
Col. Bishop had spread his coat

the rescued man., wrapping him in
sweaters and gave him light nourish-
ment. The rescuers were supplied
with condensed milk. and on this, 4
little coffee and toast and beef broth
made from fresh meat, he subsisted

Hasche Addresses the
State College Students

The Brookings Register. reports a
recent address to the students of the.
State College as follows:
"A. II. Hasche, of Watertown, de-
livered the regular convocation ad-
dress at State College on Tuesday, en-
phasizing the need of a business train
ing. He asserted that it is the pros
percss man who is in position to ac-s
complish things and to enjoy himself.
while it is the duty of every indiyid-
ual to develop the natural resources.
OF South Dakota, yet the Individual
is handicapped without capital and
business training. A man without
business ability is handicapped in.
competition with other men; neither
can he enter into the life of his city
or county effectively
"Mr Hasche urged all students to
make q study of the elements of bust
ness and to plan on saving reserve
fund for future emergenciesl The
j. modern business man is a better bar
gamer than the man who is unac-
auainted with the rules Of business.
IN the first place the real, business
man knows values. While this is a
day Of cooperation and cooperative
organizations, yet the people who are
1 members of such societies need the
knowledge Of business which will en-
able them to carry on cooperative OPP
erations successfully He urged the
students to elect business courses
while in college. to keep their eyes

tion and to do some Independent
