what led up to the Clarke amendment.
He urged scuttle whenever an oppor-
tunity presented itself.
But scuttle did not prevail. The
Clarke amendment had to be abandoned.
Congress was willing to enlarge the
scope of the participation Of the Fill
pinos in the Philippine government, but
would not FIX q time for the termina-
ton Of American control. And so the
matter ended.
Since then Senior Quexon has returned
home and become a member Of the
Philippine legislature. Senator Clarke,
the author Of the amendment in ques-
tion, has died. The President who fa-
vored the amendment and gave it up
with reluctance has been reelected, but
not ON the strength Of his Philippine
policy. That matter was not men
toned in the campaign.

If the republicans do not control it, they
will be strong enough to make demo-
cratic control a matter of much diff
Guilty, and they are opposed to scuttle.
Hence, any renewal of the agitation,
even with the Presidents aid, will have
q hard road to travel.
And then there is the war, which can
not continue great while longer. At
its close, and when the map of the world
is under discussion, the Philippines,
though ours and not part of war spoil,
will yet, because of their location, be
somewhat in the public eye. None of
the great powers objects to our presence
in the islands; but if scuttle is still a
topic in our Congress, and the policy
Is supported by the administration, it
may interest outside powers to know
what the prospects Of success are. For
not one of them will believe in the
stability Of any Independent govern
ment established there, and all will
figure as to what will happen when the
government falls.
The new commissioners will face an
interesting situation, and their course
will be followed with attention?

Trailing Mr.. Bryan.

The anti-prohibitionists are consider
ing the advisability of putting some
body on the trail of Mr.. Bryan. It is
realized that he should be q speaker of
exceptional power, and be able to pre-
sent his case with considerable di-
plomacy. An out-and-out champion of
the saloon would never do. He would
play powerfully into Mr.. Bryan's hands.
I. His opponents in this matter are not
undertaking Mr.. Bryan. They coneede
that he has q topic to his taste, and
that his talents and his personality are
in accord with his activity. He is not
q reformed man, but has always been
Of correct habits. He has always prac-
ticed what he now is preaching. He is
q family man, and pitches his appeals
in the key Of the hearthstone.
Such man addressing audiences of
men and women interested in a domes-
tic subject establishes a strong hold ON
them. He enters into their feelings, and
they into his. What he says is remem-
bered longer than would observations
by him on a subject purely political or
economic.
A testimony to Mr.. Bryan's power, in
deed, is borne in the charge that he has
taken up prohibition as he took up free
silver, as cry for political purposes
and with the object of reaching the pres
idency on the strength of it. As the
criticism goes, he seized the silver issue
seeing that the tariff was growing stale
through long use. He has seized pro-
hibitiop for seeing that other issues
have grown stale, and that the drink
traffic is coming in now for wide and
increasing condemnation.
Still, this is but charge. 1t is more
easily made than supported. A man
who has always been teetotaler needs
not make explanation Or apology when
he takes the field against drink in all
forms and for its complete suppression
As matters stand, however, 1920 is a
long look ahead. Can Mr.. Bryan keep
his issue going and to the fore until
then? New issues may bob up. In fact
some have already bobbed up, and at the
close of the war-the struggle can
hardly last three years longer-we may
find ourselves confronting strictly po-
litical and economic problens of yarx,
great importance. Undoubtedly the
tariff will "come again; and there may
be developments in the socialistie twist
of things now more than limited in our
affairs which will engage the closest at
tention. But as Mr.. Bryan has put his
hand to the plow he is not likely to
turn back, and his opponents are justi-
fed in their uneasiness.

first lecture of this year on 1.-THE Al

DR.. Jesse will trace the history Of
alchemy from the earliest period to the
time it fell into disrepute because of
the quackery and charlatanry Of later
ages. The contributions to chemical
knowledge of the Chaldeans, Egyp-
tians. Greeks. Syrians and Arabs, will
be briefly dealt with.
Throughout the middle ages the
search for the philosophers stone and
the elixir of life. gave birth to many
curious notions and the great crcdulity
of the people gave opportunity to many
to engage in quackcry of the most out
rageous kind. DR.. Jesse will show
how the whole system Of alchemy per-
meated literature of this period.
Modern researches, however. have in
a sense justified the aims and pur-
poses of the more serious alchemists.
and this phase Of the history of chem
ical science is one of the most fasci-
mating as well as one Of the most bril-
liant of human achievements.
DR.. Jesse will deal with his subject
in a popular manner, so that the I'M
initiated may readily follow the devel-
opment Of ideas. The public is in
vited to this as well as to all succeed
