BRYAN FOR U. s. PRESS.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 1s.-William Jen-

islature two new reforms are needed in
national government. The national Con-
stitution should be made more amenable
to changes and a chain Of national news
papers, one published in Washington and
one in each State Capital, should be es-
tablished.
They should be published by nonparti-
san boards at the expense of the gov

Then The Woman" asked the presi-
dent. deeply interested in what The Sec
retary was saying.
Long ago made up her mind that she
was doing as well as could be expected
OF one Of her sex. She long ago placed
a sex barrier between herself and her as
sociates, and her accomplishment is lin
tied only to her own belief In it,
Il guess you are right" answered The
President slowly.
Then regretfully:
we shall have to fill the place OF The
Woman with some one whose progress
and efficiency are not hampered by self
imposed limitations"
So it came about that The Woman was
dismissed-not because of her inability to
accomplish as satisfactory work as any
one employed by The Firm, but because
of her lack Of belief in herself.
