ENDURING Government
DISCUSSED BY Mr.. BRYAN
Mems Club Has Largely Attended
Meeting at Mount Pleasant
Congregational Church.

Taking as his theme ''Enduring Gov
ernment." William Jennings Bryan de-
livered a civic sermon to members of
the Mems Club of the Mount Pleasant
Congregational Church last night. His
address was the first the Commoner
has made in 'he east since the demo-
| cratic national convention. More than
J 1900 persons were in the church, and
many others were turned away
Government belongs to generations
rather than to individuals. Mr.. Bryan
said, and enduring government must
rest on justice, the kind of justice in
hepent in a scheme of universe,
brotherhood, as opposed to the "brut
| ish'' rule of the profiteer and self-in-
terestS of every kind. Greed is at
! the bottom of most of the wrongdo-
! ing with which governments have to
deal" added the Nebraskan.
He denounced in scathing terms
| those forms of money-making that
deprave buyer and seller, and pointed
to the liquor traffic as an example.
He declared that prohibition was the
triumph of the nations conscience.
that it had put the force of the law
against the liquor traffic and reduced
the defenders of the saloon to two
groups-first. the group in which ap-
petite overcomes respect for organ
lied government. and second. the
group in which greed for the money
obtainab1e Through smuggling and
bookkeeping leads men~to lawlessness
Mr.. Bryan said that he need hardly
comment on the Palmer ruling. pro
hibition has become the settled policy
of the country. and the constitutional
amendment cannot be repealed by
changing the word drink to dose
Liquor as beverage cannot be
brought back under the pretense of |
using it for a medicine Congress will |
properly regulate the use of alcohol |
in medicine. if the Attorney General !
does not do it by executive order" he |
said.
Touching on international affairs.
Mr.. Bryan strongly advocated that the !
United States take the lead in dis
armament. and said that America
should join at once in creating an in
ternational tribunal of justice.
He pleaded for democracy in choos-
ing representatives on such a tri- |
buna1.
Mr.. Bryal, was introduced by I. c.
Weld. who presided at a short busi-
ness meeting of the organization pre-
ceding his address.
Mr.. Weld announced that assurances
had been received from the Commits
sioners that the parking on the south
side of Columbia road between 14th
and 18th streets would be remodeled
after July 1.
Henry Stringer. Harry J. Sayers and
PERCY russell were elected an audit
ing committee to get the affairs of the
organization in shape prior to the
change of administration, to take
place next month
Wayne B. Wheeler. Rev Walter A.
Morgan and Charles Gutheim were Sc
lected as nominating committee to
choose officers for the forthcoming
election.
A mixed choir of more than sixty
voices sang at intervals during the
evening. Mr.. Morgan offered prayer.

March Reduction Only GIL, Due
to NeA Appointments.

Uncle Sam reduced his force of
workers in the District by Gil during
March, according to the monthly
statement of the Civil Service Com
mission, made public yesterday.
The report shows that there is sti44
heavy turnover of employees in the
iederal service. During last month
the actual number who left the service
was 1850. The net reduction of only

women seldom take any interest in

catching a husband. and they are
working until they can marry.
That's why they are more inter
ested in how they look than in the
kind of work they turn out. When

Montignac, inscrutable, patient, In
genious, strong enough to conceal their
own passions, which themselves are more
intense and far more lasting than the
passions OF a mere man of fighting, are
not easily turned aside from the quest
of any object on which they have put
their desires. One against whom they
have set themselves is never safe from
them while they live. Years do not
make them either give or forget. Mon
tignac, hy reason of his influence over
the governor, had vast resources to
employ. He could turn the machinery
of government TO his own ends, and the
trustful governor not suspect. In that
slim youth, smooth-faced, pale, re-
pressed, grave. not always taking the
trouble to erase from his features the
signs of his corn for ordinary minds, a
scorn mingled with sense OF his own
power and with kind of derisive mirth,
in this quiet student / beheld an
antagonist more formidable than any
against whom | had ever been pitted.
In thinking Of him, came at once to
regard De Berquin, who still stood facing
me with ready sword, and on his face the
intention of killing me plainly written, as
a very inconsiderable opponent, even
when backed by his four ruffians with
their varied collection Of weapons.

Arrest and cast into prison that
impudent clown, he cried 70 the guards.
Put out the lights, screamed the
dwarf. s'Seize the Princess and bear
her off to my car"
At the foot of the marble stairs waited
golden car drawn by four winged
horses and into this dwarf stepped.
Not a soul had moved TO save her.
for all were stunned by the suddenness
of the attack and blinded by the dark
ness. Yet one there was who kept his
senses, and that was JeHn, for as the
dwarf bore the princess by him, the lad
followed closely behind, and hid himself
behind the high seat which the others
occupied
In another instant the horses were
cleaying the sky with their wings and
leaving behind the castle, from which
they could hear great tumult and
shouting arise
The Princes were running about
madly seeking the one who had stolen
the Princess and the King sat as 1t
turned to stone. The castle was searched
high and low, but not a trace OF the
Princess could be found. Far away,
mere speck In the midnight sky,
the dwarf was urging his horses 70 their
home IN the crest of the great Black
Mountain, where no one could scale
the walls 10 rescue any prisoner.
Jcm held on silently. The rush OF
air made his head swim, but he wrapped
his arms and legs around the seat posts,
and was carried safely along with
the Princess. About dawn the horses
stopped on a rock and The Dwarf took
the Princess into stone chamber,
which stood thousand feet above
the valley below
''You are my captive, said the
Dwarf as he placed the frightened girl
within the room. .When you consent to
be my bride YOU shall be freed.
Then he went out, closing the door
and locking it fast behind him-but
he did not notice that in dark closet
in the hall nearby Jcm had sacreted
himself so as to be able TO aid the
Princess. But what could he do
here, hundreds of miles away from
home and the Princess secured within
huge stone walls2
Just then he felt touch on the
foot, AID looking down saw a tiny
spider on the floor.

JEM AND THE PRINCESS


Once upon a time there was Princess
so beautiful that dozens Of suitors came
10 her fathers court TO seek her hand.
The King was rich and powerful, but he
loved his daughter so much that he let
her have her own way in everything.
Jem was an orphan lad who cleaned
the pots and pans IL the kitchen. His
post was an humble one. but Jem was
strong. brave. and determined to make
himself something IN the world.
One day he noticed q spider spin
ning its web across q rosebush. A
turtle was about TO snap up the spider
when Jem seized the animal by its heavy
she'll and tossed II into the road.
The spider went on busily weaving
and Jem returned to the pantry.
Hurry, ladr' exclaimed the cook,
there i to be a big company here
tonight, for the Princess viii select
her future husband from among them.
That evening the palace was full OF
music. lights snd gaily dressed lords
and ladies. All the princes who came
courtmg wore gorgeous suits, and SO
many were there that their horses stood
four deep IN the stables.
Behind a big palm Jem hid himself
and looked in wonder at the scene OF
magnifcence. AS midnight sounded
there was a blast heard from without
a noise as Of tramping feet grew loud,
the doors OF the .big ballroom few
apart and there on the threshold stood
a grea; brown dwarf. His eyes were
green. his face wriakled, aad his long,
black hair hung IL curls around his
huge head.
Il have come for my bridef' he
shouted IN loud voice | am the
king Of the Thousand Isles aad no
human dare brave my power, Let the
Princess come with me and make no
resistance, lest | destroy this whole
castle at once with my men,
