Bryan Still Depressed
In talking over the pres;d.,u Nj
situation recently Mr.. Bryan ind;n.s1
that he has not recovered from Y
depression expressed following the N
Francisco convention, where be lo,t n
fight for the inclusion Of a prohibias
plank in the platform and was n
feated in everything else he attempt.i
His friends have been given to unSs,
stand that his heart is still "in N
grave" and that its resurrection ~,
only be accomplished by a pledge ~
the Democratic nominee not only To ~
force the Volstead act but to Oppose An,
modification Of that drastic statute.
Since this expression from Mr.. Bry,.
Governor Cox has said In several oi N
western speeches that he would enior,

prohibition question ''as dead I

deeply Mr.. Bryan feels on thiJ sublsI
whether he will consider these sat.

Cox's Wet Support Puzzles
On the other hand, it is pointed Oh
that Governor Cox still has five weei
left in which to quit the i,ore or leu
moist atmosphere in which he has bee

lists suspect he is campaigning. Thu
are unable to understand why the WI
forces of Tammany, Taggart and Bren

Colonel Bryan's chief interest 4
recent weeks has centered in the elss
ton Of O Congress so dry it will defea

Better Days

A better time is coming-I
am quite sure Of this-when you
will see me drumming my Tyre
in perfect bliss; the Reds, who
claim attention, will be too
scarce to mention. the serpent Of
dissension will be too weak to
hiss. We all are growing saner
with every passing day; the evil
dence grows palmer that pipe
dreams fade away; and soon
we'll stand and wonder why in
the name of thunder we tried to
tear asunder the things that
ought to stay. You'll see us
backward gazing. and viewing,
with a tear, our antics most
amazing, in one unholy year,
when we were all demented, dis
'traught and disconnected, and
every day invented new kinds of
doubt and fear. And, on the
heights of reason, we'll mutter,
Can it be that through one god
less season no dome from bats
was free? O can it be the rant
ed and clamored to have planted
in this fair land enchanted fake
kinds OF liberty?" Slow, slow
has been the waking from wild
and bughouse dreams, but now
the morn is breaking and sun
light on us streams, and as the
morn advances we'll come forth
from our frances while yet our
eagle Frances and fills the air
with screams.

THE TEN POINTS Of
AMER|CAN|SM.
Copyright, 1920.
By DIR. FRANK CRANE,

When we are urged to teach Amer
lcanlsm we often do not have a clear
idea of what exactly to teach. AS a
guide to the teacher of the immigrant
or of the youth the following ten
points may be helpful.
l. Teach American history-the main
points-not too much detail En-
phasize biography, which is always
more interesting and useful than
dates and theories. Make real the
lives of such men as Washington,
Franklin. Lincoln.
2. Teach that in America are no
classes. Station in life is not fixed,
neither by birth, race nor circum
may become depends entirely upon
the individual.
). Teach democracy, and how it is
not, and does not claim to be, a per-
feet system of government, but is the
only kind of government in the world
of the people) can get what they
want.
4. Teach the Importance of educa-
ton. that every child may attend
school free, and if he does not he is
wronging himself and his country.
Ignorance is Americas greatest en-
envy. possibly the only one to fear.
Emphasize the Importance of learn
ing the English language.
5. Teach politics. our system of
state and national government and
the duty of every one to inform and
interest himself in public affairs.
6. Teach law and order. and that
any one who breaches violence has
no place in America. Here the door
is open; and any one who wants to
break it down is a fool or A criminal,
or both.
I. Teach how to be good sport.
which means. that when we lose or
! find ourselves in the minority we
should not become soured or violent
! but keep good-natured.
| s. Teach the right kind of patriot
| ism. which in America only on rare
; occasions means going to war, but
| all the time and every day means de-
votion to the common good.
| 9. Teach Americas attitude toward
! other nations; that we never have
, wanted and never will want to con-
! quer and rule the people of any other
! territory against their will; that
| America only desires to help other
nations and trade with them to mu-
: tual advantage; and that it was for
! this purpose we went into the great
| war.
! 10 Teach freedom. absolute as to
religion or any kind of opinion; yet
i teach how this must necessarily De
I qualified by respect for law and or
| DERBY government, so that no man has
! a right to advocate crime or the over
| throw of the government.
These ten points will give the glst
of real Americanlsm.

WEATHER CHECKS
CENSUS WORKERS
Completion of District Emu
meration by Tonight Is
Impossible.

The bad weather of the past three
DAYS has so disarranged the schedule
of census enumerators in the District
of Columbia that the census taking
here will not be completed by to-
night. as hoped.
Robert E. Mattingly, supervisor for
the District of Columbia is i'll at his
home with a severe cold, but DR.. F.
N. Nelly. assistant supervisor, an
nounced today the enumeration cam
not be completed by tonight. Two
hundred and seventy-five completed
portfolios were turned in to the office
of the District census up to last night
and officials anticipate twenty five
will be turned in today, bringing the
total of completed census districts in
the District up to 800. This will leave
sixty-seven districts yet to be COM
pleted.
Cannot Complete Census Today.
Officials said today that the severe
weather has SO disrupted their sched-
ule they cannot hope to complete the
census taking before Monday night,
and if the bad weather continues
through Monday the work may be
continued through Tuesday. In any
case. Washington will, without doubt,
be the first city to turn in final COM
pilations. census officials say, but the
final population figures for the Dis
trict will not be given out until about
February 20.
While it had been hoped to com
plete the enumeration work through
out the United States. as well as in
the District of Columbia, in ffteer
days. Director Sam l.. Rogers said to-
day the time would be extended an6
that the count of the population OF
the country would be completed re-
Sardless of the time necessary.
Incomplete =, Large Cities.
His announcement was made as tht
result of requests for extension Of
time received from chambers of com
Ilerce and other organizations in {
number of cities which apparently
were under the impres sion that fif-
teen days was the limit fixed by law
for the enumeration and that any
work not completed in that timt
would remain unfinished.
Mr.. Rogers said the enumeration
had not yet been finished in any o.
the large cities. but that some re
turns had been received from a mum
Der of them.
