BRYAN SPEAKS ON
"FUNDAMENTAlS"TO
AUGUSTA AUDIENCE
Appears Tuesday Eve
ming at City Hall
Discusses Cover n
ment Problems and
Urges Unity in War

Touching upon the problems of the
duties which Americans owe the gov
eminent in war, William Jennings Bry-
an lectured Tuesday evening at CITY
hall under the auspices of the Angus
Ia Entertainment Course and for more
than two hours held an audience that
packed the hall to standing room only.
Mr.. Bryan's discourse was filled with
philosophy, but had as well great
deal Of wit and humor which brought
forth laughter and applause from all
parts Of the auditorium.
Mr.. Bryan. after being introduced by
Mayor Willis Z. Swift of Augusta,
brought his audience face to tace with
some OF the big national topics of the
day In the course Of his remarks he
dWeit upon the Importance OF the 1000
conservation movement, headed by MI.
Hoover, and passed to the restrictions
placed on liquor traffic. III we needed
to save one-third of the grain that
went to the making OF WhlSkey. then
in the speakers opinion it was three
times more needful to save the three
thirds that went in the manufacture of
beer.
Here Mr.. Bryan charged that the
brewers spent every year more money
to corrupt government and subsidize
the press than was spent by the dis
tillers.
My friends. this advertising is not
used so much for its effect upon the
reader as for its effect upon the news
paper The object Of the brewers is
to silence the press. That is going on
right now and the government has
held that this Kind of advertising does
not violate the law passed by the last
Congress. But | hope that this Con-
Sress will Immediately broaden the law
and prevent this attempt to bride the
press Of she United States.
Brewers and distilers have been
partners in crime tor generations. Now
as they are approaching the end of
their wicked career it is cruel to sep
arate these boon companions. They
ought to he allowed to die together"
Laughter followed Mr.. Bryan's sally.
Regarding war taxation Mr.. Bryan sald
ne would not complain if taxes went high
er as long as this government finds it
necessary 70 call one American boy to
offer his life "a the nations altar. for no
tax On income can be as high as the tax
on life and blood. anu as long as soldiers
must die let no man put the dollar above
The man by refusing whatever exacuons
may be necessary from income or profit.
The lecturer gave his reasons for being
in favor Of woman suffrage. 'Unless.' he
said, you can snow that woman lacks
intelligence and morality YOU have no
case against woman suffrage. In every
penitentiary in the United States the men
are i'll an overwhelming majority, but go
to church and you will find the women in
the majority. Try, if possible. to find a
single man who profits by VICE and makes
money b. sin who is in favor Of woman
suffrage. The strongest argument for
woman suffrage is motherhood"

VAN MAKER OF WOMAN'S GARB
Meanest Part Of 1t, Says Writer, Is
That He Makes Her Lock Funny,
Then Laughs.

Every now and then some writer
makes fun of woman's attire. not rea-
lizing that man gets up these skirts,
shoes, spats and hats for woman; and
the meanest part of il is that after
man has sold woman her togs and
made her look funny he laughs ut her,
says writer In the New York Sun.
Some day woman will see how beau
tiful she is and that man eunningly
tries to make her look homely and
awkward, and when that day comes
10 skirts that are likely TO shrink into
girdle will mar her lines of natural
grace; no shoes, no spats viii spoil the
beauty of her feet; but the classic
folds Of Grecian draperies will reveal
her heretofore hidden symmetry and
form under them her sandal toes will
nodestly peep OUT. Upon her crown
ing glory the classic ribbon or the
aurel wreath will rest and bring out
the beauty OF her brow.
Then perhaps man. relieved of this
responsibility for woman. will have a
little time To see that his costume is
lust a bit ridiculous.

Much OF Canada unesplored.

A paper upon the unexplored parts
of Canada has been recently prepared
by Charles camsel of the Canadian ge-
ologic survey, In which he points out
that the UNEMPLOYED area of Canada
is greater than is generally under
stood. In estimating the area of this
country. he follows the plan OF consid-
ering as explored strip nj 10 miles
on each side Of an explorers route.
On this basis the unexpleed area
amounts 10 about eoi 900 square miles.
and this does not take account of
blocks under 4.ooo square miles In ex-
tent. This is about 81 per cent OF the
total area of Canada. excluding Arc
tic islands.
