Walter Hill of the Hill Produce company met his friend, Edgar A. Bryan, travelling freight and passen- ger agent for the Santa Fe with headquarters at Phoenix, yesterday. The name Bryan started a reminis- cent train of thought which he later told to a Journai-Miner representa- tive The story is interesting be- cause 1t indicates the prograss made in communication even in a short time.
 Some ten or F years ago, it oc- cured to MT. Hill that the people of Prescott might appreciate the op- portunity Of hearing Wm. Jennings Bryan deliver his famous lecture, The Prince of Peace" He wrote to MT. Bryan and in short time received a reply to the effect that the commoner was too busy at the time, but would be glad to consider a speaking date later on.
 Nearly year passed by without any further correspondence, and then he received telegram from the Ne braskan, which stated that he was starting on a western tour and could be in Prescott ill about a week.
 MT Hill did some hustling in the short time he had The opera house was secured, posters were printed, and the event advertised in other ways. Tickets were sold at $1 each. All was in readiness for the speaking with the exception of the speaker. No word came from MT Bryan, and the only response to MT. Hills fran tic telegraphing was terse wire to the effect that the cOmmoncr had s"started west" Expenses mounted as, the days went by, and although the sale of tickets was good, MT. Hill feared that the evening would arrive before the speaker.
 Things had gone too far to be stopped, so when the last train on which MT. Bryan could possibly ar rive before the scheduled date pulled into Prescott, MT Hill was on hand to welcome the distinguished guest. ] TO his ureat relief the latfer arrived
 Tie commoner was displeased to learn that tickets had been priced at $l each, and said that 25 cents would have been plenty, because he liked to talk to a crowd. He was very apollo getic to MT Hill for his failure to keep him notified as to his plans, and said that he fully understood the anxiety which NIr. Hill must have | felt

SCOUT LEADERS
 MEET AND PLAN
 WORK PROGRAM
CFrOm Fridays Daily)

Plans for a patrol leaders course of six lessons to be given in the near future to Boy Scout patrol lead CTS by Scout Executive A. R. Groen- ink were announced at a meeting of the Scout Leaders association at the Owl last night. The first three les sons will be given at scout head quarters December 1, 7 and IA, and the final three at tine scout camp during the Christmas vacation, De- cember 26, ? and. 2S.
 A course for scoutmasters and as sistants will be given after the first of the year, if it is found to be wanted, Executive Groenink said.
 Joseph H. Morgan made an in formative talk on "The Privilege of Being a Scoutmaster"
 Working With Boys.
 You cant deceive a bunch of boys," he said. You can put things over on older people, but to get by with Boys you've got to be all wool, yard wide, and copper rivited at that. If you can handle boisterous anud unruly bunch of boys, you will be able to handle men. If you are successful as a scoutmaster, you can give yourself credit for having done something worth while. You young professional men should seek the ac- quaintance of the boys who will be the future citizens. You will find them entirely worth your time and attention. A few years ago, when I was deputy county attorney, we were compelled to send many boys every year to the reform school. The boys were always in trouble. But now, since scouting, there is not nearly so much trouble"
 The value of scout work was also emphasized by Rev. E. C. Yorke, the new pastor of the West Methodist church, who had seen much of 1t in Denver
 q was greatly impressed with the work there," he said, and I want to be connected and identified with it here"
 Scout troop work turns on the or ganization of patrols within the troops, Executive Groenink pointed out in presenting the patrol leaders side of things. If scout leaders will see to it that the patrols are organ ized and the patrol system working, the troops will take care of them selves, he said
 A scout leaders camp will be held either Friday and Saturday, Decem- Der 29 and 30, or during vacation following these dates, 1t was decided Marsh Smith and w. E. Patterson were named a committee to look af- ter the details of this camp. Discus .sion of the annual indoor rally oi scouts to be held December 19, 1922 was adopted, after a discussion led by Marsh Smith.
 Those attending the meeting were from Toop I, Lyle Howard and Morris Payne; from Troop II, Marsh Smith, George Thompson, Don Brad ley and Harry Southworth, IT, from Troop III, Louis Bunte, w. E Patterson and Jos. H. Morgan; from Troop ", Rev. F. C. Yorke; from Troop V, Albert Akin, J. H. Clan vile, Arthur Thompson, w. L. Laun- der, and Edgar Oliver; and Scout Executive Andy Groenink.

Washington. Oct. 17.-Beer and
light wines will not be restored as
tne sequel of the congressional
elections next month.
The 'wets" may make substantial
gains in the next congress but that
congress like the one now In office
will be dry"
These facts are apparent to all
observers of the political trend of
the year. wet" and dry" leaders
agree. They are further buttressed
by the opinions of experienced poll
ticians allied with neither the "wets'
nor the "drys."
In spite of the fact that 1t Is
admittedly impossible for the "wets''
to score a sweeping overturn of the
Volstead law this year, they are
keeping the issue strongly to the
fore every place where there is the
slightest chance to inject 1t into the
campaign. This years campaign is
but the beginning of fight which
they confidently assert will end in
the modification oil the Volstead
law to permit "medorate" alcoholic
beverages.

HARRISON FLAYS
B0LT|NG DEMOS
Mississippi soIon Takes Shot at
Democrats Who Line Up With
Fields; Hammers National
Administration.

Oklahoma City, Oct. 17.-Bolters
from the democratic ranks were
flayed in a speech here last night
by Senator Pat Harrison Of Missis-
sippi, one of the partys strong men
in the U. S. senate this year.
Democrats cannot afford to de-
sert their party, Senator Harrison
said. He pointed out graphically
the promises the republicans made
two years ago and the train Of de-
preston, of wrecked hopes that fol-
lowed its accession to power. NO
democrat should vote for John
Fields who is Senator Arthur Cap
pers man Friday Harrison told his
audience which numbered $500 and
cheered wildly for an hour and a
half. He told how Wrigley the
chewing gum king, the National
Cash Register company and other
big interests had donated huge sums
to the republican national commit
tee and received special favors for
it. "This money or part Of it is
now floating down to Oklahoma to
help beat Honest Jack Walton and
put over friend Of these inter
ests,' he said. The democrats
throughout the nation are looking
to Oklahoma to remain in the demo-
cratic column Senator Harrison de-
clared "a vote for John Fields this
year is a vote to help re-elect Hard
ing two years hence. Harding is a
nice man personally" he said, "but
he will go down in history as the
weakest man who ever occupied the
presidential CHAIR
Senator Harrison from his inside
knowledge Of affairs in Washington
outlined in detail the extent to
which the country has been turned
over for exploitation to the special
interests for the last two years. He
speaks at Tulsa Wednesday night
and Muskogee Thursday.
