BRYAN'S ADDRESS

Washington, Jan. S-(By The AS
sociated Press)-Mr. Bryan's speech
in full follows:
Seldom has such an opportunity
for great service come to any par
ty as now presents itself to our par
ty. But opportunity brings respon-
sibility. Much is required of those to-
whom much is given. A soldier is nj
soldier until his day of operation!
comes. After that he is either he
70 or a coward. So with the party,
Opportunities improved become
stepping stones to success; opportu-
mites neglected arefmillstones about.
the party's neck.
THE opportunities offered are as
large as the nation and as wide as
the world. In this hour when we
take counsel together for the coming
congregation it is the duty of each
member of the party, as I take it,
to present the situation as he sees
it, without stopping to inquire wheth-
err his views are shared by others.
One cannot call mass meeting to
determine what to think: the theory
of democracy is that all think and
give explanation to their thought and
then conclusions are reached by COM
parison of views.
Permit me, therefore. to present
the more important of those opportu-
mites as l see them. The nations are
entering upon a new era; old sys-
TENS are passing away: democracy is
dawning everywhere. Our nation is
the only great nation in a position to
furnish moral leadership required.
The NATIONS of. Europe are busy with

Issue Of League in Coming E|eCton--lead-
ers' Views Divided On Question
City and Date
Of Convention

Washington, Jan. g. (By
the Associated Press split
between President Wilson and
William Bryan over whether
the League of, Nations should
be made an issue in the coming
election topped off the Jackson
day deliberations of the Demo-
cratic party chiefs.
It came at the Jackson din
ner, as the climax Of a day in
which San Francisco had been
chosen as the meeting place of
the national convention of June
%, and it charged the air with
political electricity.
President Wilson, in lis mes
sage read to the diners, assem-
bled in two separate halls, de-
clared that the "clear and sim
gle way out" was to submit the
question to the voters as "a
great and solemn referendum. !"
Mr.. Bryan, showing all the
old-time vigor with which he
led the fight for the Presidents
nomination at Baltimore in
1912, declared that the Demo-
cratic party could not 60 before
the country on the issue, be-
cause it involved a delay of ID
months, and meant success
only if the Democrats capture
a two-thirds majority of the
Senate. The party, Mr.. Bryan
declared, must secure such
compromises as may be posi-
ble."

Boston, Jan. S.--Samuel Gompers, who
spoke here today as luncheon guest
of the Boston Chamber of Commerce,
was subjected to some heckling and at
times his voice was drowned in a cho-
rus os noes while he was discussing
the recent strike of Boston policemen
and criticizing the action of Police Com
missioner Curtis. Counter-demonstra-
tons had the effect of restoring quiet,
and after the luncheon was over, Off
GERS of the chamber apologized to the
speaker for the Interruptions. He took
the incident good naturally.
A roar of applause greeted Mr.. Com
pers' remark: You now have a new
police force in Boston" He attacked
the policy of Commissioner Curtis Wig
orously. asserting that the strike was
deliberately provoked by this auto
GRAFT" The failure of the commissioner
to call out volunteers, he asserted, was
a part of the same deliberate policy
of letting loose disorder in order to dis
credit the policemen. When cries of
no" were raised by his auditors Mr.
Gompers exclaimed, II can prove it,
and in response to loud invitations to do
SO he had his secretary read an affidavit
OF newspaper man regarding a COM
versation with former Superintendent
Pierce, who at he time of the strike
was recalled to service as a special as
sistant to the commissioner The affi-
davit said that three hours before the
police went out, the reporter called on
Pierce and asked him if he was going
to order out the volunteer police that
night. Mr.. Pierce replied that his or
ders from the commissioner were to call
them out at A. NJ. the next day and
that they would not be called out that
nightdt. under any consideration. If the
reporter wanted to know more he was
told he had better see the commits
sioner.
Continuing. Mr.. Gompers asserted
that there was no reason for Directing
to the utilization of the police with the
American Federation of Labor, as re
said there was an express provision in
the charter that there should be no
striking.
Due to an indisposition. which he
described as slight, Mr.. Gompers can
celled speaking engagements for to-
night. He planned to leave for New
York at midnight.

The former secretary Of state,

could not 90 before the country
on the issue and that they must
accept such compromises as may
be possible.
Conceding the right Of the Re.
publican majority to dictate the
Senate's course, Mr.. Bryan de-
clared:
sour plan has been rejected,
and we must face the situation as
it is. We must either secure
such compromise as may be pos.
sible or present the issues to the
country. The latter course would
mean a delay Of at least "A
months and then success only In
case Of our securing two thirds
majority Of the Senate.
I'VE cannot afford, either as
citizens, or as members Of the

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR,

Did it ever occur to you that ev-
cry movie actress you have seen has
lovely hair, while the most popular
count their curls as their chief
beauty? In fact. many are leading
ladies just>eecause of their attrac-
tive looks. I inquiry among them
discloses the fact that they bring
out all he natural beauty of their
hair by careful shampooing, not
with any soap or makeshift, but
with simple mixture by putting
a teaspoonful of canthrox (which
they get from the druggist) in a
cup of hot water and applying this
instead of soap. This full cup of
shampoo liquid is enough, so it is
easy to apr1y 1t to all the hair In
stead of just the top of the head.
After it's use, the hair dries rapidly
with uniform color. Dandrufr, ex-
cess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. The hair is so
fiuffy that it looks much heavier
than 1t is. its 1uster and softness
are1delightful.-Adv.
