Chairman This, accompanied by Presi-

and other officers of the Bing Bing
Railroad company who are in town
on an inspection trip. Items of this
kind have not appeared before since
1917. For more than two years rail-

a high-up representative of Uncle Sam
would take squint at the property,
but inspection by executives repre-
senting the owners was not made dur
ing the period indicated.
The officers generally are travelling
without Cstentation. The term, "pri-
vate car" has been eliminated from
the dictionaries of most of the roads.
1t is business car now-an office
on wheels. Officers engaged in, this
nationwide inspection campaign often
avail themselves of the opportunity to
stop at the more important towns and
renew acquaintance with their pa
irons, and it is evident from the re-
ports of receptions that the visitors
are welcome. At Hutchinson q few
night ago the Chamber of Commerce
gave a banquet in honor of the return
and a similar affair is to be given
there for the Rock Island and Mis-
souri, Pacific. Emporia is getting up
party for the Santa Fe, and several
other towns have asked the Topeka
officials to arrange dates. There is
speechmaking on these occasions, and
such newspaper headlines as Get
together Rally" Harmony Meeting"
and Railroads and Citizens Co
operate" give a fair idea of the ma
ture of the gatherings.

take President Wilson'S picture to-day
by adopting the trick used success
fully to get pictures Of former En-
peror William Hohenzollern in his gar
den at Amerongen. were foiled by Sc

While the President was taking his

House three photographers, secreted in
a load Of hay, drove down Executive

believed TREY were outside the range OF

Bryan Says Senate
VIII Soon Ratit
Opposes Referendum, Be-
lieUes U. S. viii Join.
League ofNations Friday

LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. William
Jennings Bryan told msmbers of the
Lincoln Commercial Club here to-day
that 1t was infinitely more important
that the peace treaty be ratified before
January 16 with concessions by both
sides In the treaty fight than ito con-
tlnue state of war for fourteen
months until the people could decide
in favor of ratification at the coming
elections
Mr.. Bryan expressed the belief that
the Senate would ratify the treaty by
next Friday so the United States could
enter the league of nations at its first
session on that day.
He denounced what he said were &C
cusations of Republican newspapers
that there had been split in the Dem
ocratic party over the league covenant.
The most important thing, ne de-
clared. was to secure ratification of
the treaty. and if compromise efforts
to this end between Democratic and
Republican Senator's failed the matter
could be turned over to the Repub-
icans. who would be responsible if it
was not settled to the satisfaction of
the people.
Nh. Bryan reiterated his denial Of
a "break" between him and President
Wilson over the treaty Neither knew
what the other was going to say rela-
tive to the treaty prior to the Jackson
Day banduet recently held at Washing
ton. he declared.
Nh Bryan delivered another addre SIS
here to-day before the Nebraska Con-
stltutIonal Convention on "The Funda-
mental Principles OF State Con-
Stitution."
