Mvron c. Settle, DR.. Charles A. Ar.
mold. and William B. Henderson, all
of Kansas City, Missouri presented
the petition, which read in part as
follows: "In view of the publicity
that has been given the matter OF
cancellation of the invitation hereto
fore extended to Mr.. Bryan, and the
seeming injustice thereby to him be-
fore the Christian forces in this
country. we feel that the removal OF
his name in this way from the pro-
gram would be misunderstood and
misinterpreted and would result IN
great harm to the Sunday School
cause, to the convention in Kansas
Civ and to the cause Of Christianity
in general. ..
In order that no such injustice
should result, the Program Commit
tee voted to ask Mr.. Bryan to make
one of the addresses at the last SEES
sion of the convention.
Program Committe Issues Statement
The Program Committee of the
Sixteenth international Sunday
School Convention to be held at
Kansas City, Missouri, June 2l-27'
authorizes the statement that the
popular protest against its action in
Withdrawing its invitation to William
Jennings Bryan to speak is due to a
misunderstanding of the action taken
and of the grounds for it. The facts
of the case are as follows: In De-
cember last, when preliminary ar
engagements were being made for the
convention, Marion Lawrance, Execu-
tive Secretary of the Convention
Committee, extended an invitation to
Mr. BRYAN to speak at the conven-
ton. Mr.. Lawrance wrote: "The en-
closed Official Calf will appraise you
of the coming of what we are con-
fident will be the largest and strong
est Sunday School Convention ever
held in the world. We are looking
for about 5000 delegates. This del
egation is a representative body
made up from the churches and
Sunday Schools in every State and
province of North America. Cuba

be represented, and there will be

lifelong friend of the late President
Roosevelt with whom he was closely
associated in his early Washington
DAYS, then as commanding ofhcer OF
the famous Rough Rider cavalry regi..
ment in Cuba and later as cher OF
staff in the Roosevelt administration
at Washington.
His first active service in the army
which ne entered as a contract sur
geon was in Indian campaigns IN the
West. for which he was awarded the
Congressional medal of honor. Later
he was detailed to the White House
during Cleveland's administration as
physician and military aide to the
President, a post he continued to NIL
in the Mckinley administration: -,
During the early days of the World
War he was active in preparedness
campaigns and was largely lnstru-
mental in the establishment OF the frst
Pittsburgh camp for the training OF
officers. When the United States
States entered the war he commanded
and trained the Eighty-ninth division
at Camp Funston and later theFTenth
division. Although he was not as
signed to duty overseas, he made one
trim of inspection in France and was
wounded bv the explosion Of a French
heavy artillery piece. His earlier mil
itary service also included campaign
! ing in the Philippines.

work. That meeting was Cancelled on
the ground of rush of Official business
and Mr.. Daugherty was not inter
viewed directly either as to the de-
partmental work or the charges
against him.
The statement issued at the depart
ment took no note of the copy of the
contract of Mr.. Daugher;y and Thorn
as B. Fielder with Morse, nor Of the
letter written by Fielder, giving his
version of the manner in which he
and Mr.. Daugherty sought Morse's re-
lease, of their difficulties and final
failure in collecting $4,000 alleged to
have been agreed upon as the fee in
the case and of interviews between
Daugherty, Fielder and Morse after
MOrse's release. Mr.. Daugherty stood
pat in the Taft and Wickersham let
ters as sufficient evidence of the prob
ity of his conduct and upon his charge
that the attacks were intended to halt
war-fraud prosecutions.
The letters of Mr.. Taft and Mr..
Wickersham were written in 1915,
nearly three years after the close OF
the Taft Administration. At the
time Mr.. Wickersham was practicing
law in New York and Mr.. Taft was
a law professor in Yale Mr.. Daugh-
erty was a candidate for the Republi-
can nomination for United Ftates Sen
ator in Ohio and the Morse case was
being used by his opponents. He has
said that the Taft and Wickersham
letters were sufficient to still the
charges then made.

delegates from abroad. I have come
to ask you for one of the leading
addresses of that convention. We
are building the convention along
broad lines and want the very best
we can get | do hope you will find
it convenient to be present with us
on this occasion Kindly let me
hear from you, together with your
terms for this service"
To this invitation Mr.. Bryan made
an indefinite reply, stating: while
I cannot make definite promises, /
shall endeavor to reserve a day for
YOUR convention" Again on January
18th. after a second invitation from
Mr.. Lawrance, Mr.. Bryan made the
following reply: Il will try to come
on the 9th of June and will let you
know as soon as | am able to fix the
date, but it will be some time yet
before my plans are completed. NO
further word was received from Mr..
BRYAN up to March 22nd.
In the meantime great events were
happening in the Sunday School
world. In Chicago, on February 10th,
1922. The international Sunday
School Association and the Sunday
School Council, the two outstanding
Sunday School organizations OF
North America, were merged into
one new body,-The international
Sunday School Council of Religious
Education This significant merger.

cradle opposition to the supposed ac-
ton of the Program Committee. In
the course of the committees discus
sion it developed that the withdrawal
of Mr.. Bryan's invitation came be-
fore he had definitely accepted it,
and, as a result of changes in the
program policies, made necessary by
the merging of the international Sun
day School Association and the Sun
day School Council into the Interna-
tional Sunday School Council of Re-
ligious Education.
Mr.. Bryan replied to the letter sent
to him withdrawing the invitation
sent to him stating. while l had
planned to go to your convention at
Kansas City, am not at all disap-
pointed by the change, because | was
coming at a great sacrifice and l
think l can use the time to advant-

between Mr.. Bryan and the commit
tee but one that arose in the press,

ARIZONA IS USING
 OWN TIMBER IN
 HOME BUILDING

Arizona lumber is being used, not only for timbers and ties, but in gen. eral building more than ever before, in Arizona, according to new reports received by the Arizona Industrial Congress from lumbermen and made public recently. These reports are assembled from many industries per iodically by the congress to gauge the effect of the Trade at Home-Use Arizona Products" campaign, in which all civic and commercial organizations are cooperating to increase the use of the products of the state.
 The most complete report on the benefits the lumber industry has re- ceived from the campaign of the con- gress came in the form of a state ment from Johnson & Koch, one of the largest wholesale lumber firms in the state, as follows:
 During the past year the Arizona Industrial Congress has been a most important factor in increasing the de- mand for Arizona pine from the big mills in northern Arizona. This in crease has been from almost every town and city of any importance in the state.
 Among the larger contracts placed with Arizona mills during the year, and in which the Arizona Industrial Congress was instrumental in induc- ing the purchaser to use Arizona pine, was that for ties for the Magma-Ari- zona railroad from Magma to Super for. This road is 33 miles in length and during the year has been changed from a narrow gauge to a standard gauge road, requiring approximately 4,000,000 feet of ties and timbers, all of which were obtained from Arizona mills.
 "The congress helped materially in having the order placed with Arizona mills for the lumber used by the h. spiration Consolidated Mining com pany in the erection of 60 homes for its employees, the lumber amounting to 300,000 feet. As the number of these homes is to be increased shortly to 200, it will mean another large order for the mills.
 Another large order which the congress helped to place with our mills was for the ties and timbers recently used by the New Cornelia Copper Co. at Ajo, amounting to approximately quarter million feet. The Arizona Industrial Congress has been instru- mental in getting practically every mining company in the state to use the lumber produced by our mills in every manner possible.
 "Not only has the congress been successful in increasing the demand for Arizona lumber and timber from the mines of the state, but through its very active Trade at Home cam paign, which it inaugurated early in the year, the retail yards, the con- tractors and the people of the state in general are beginning to realize that the native lumber is adaptable for many building purposes for which oth- CT woods have been specified in the past. As a result of this campaign orders have materially increased, and practically all the mills in the state !, are now operating at full capacity"

SAYS SHE NEVER EXPECTS TO BE
 WITHOUT TT

Tt is almost unbelievable, but Tanlac has built me up twenty-six pounds in less than a months time," said Mrs. Ada l.. Garrison, 1242 West Manchester Ave, Los Angeles, Calf.
 But this was only small part of the good I received. For eighteen years I suffered from my back and I almost became a nervous wreck from loss of sleep due to the pain that plagued me day and night. I used to take a hot water bottle to bed with me every night to get relief enough to drop off to sleep.
 "Since taking Tanlac I eat, sleep and feel better than I have in years and haven't had a touch of backache for weeks. I never expect to be with out Tanlac and intend to take a dose occasionally just to keep in the splen- did health I have now"
 Tanlac is sold by all good druggists. Advertisement.

STOP THAT WASTE
(By Dr. Frank Crane.)

(Dy LIT. Y Tdnk STdHe.)
 The other day the postmaster at Chicago had placards put on the mo- tor vehicles operating in the postal service reading as follows: STOP THIS WASTE!
 25,000 pieces of mail annually
 are delayed or not delivered at
 all because they are incorrectly
 addresses or improperly packed. The postal authorities call our at tention to the fact that there are 25,- 100000 pieces of mail that they must handle three to seven times oftener than they would have to handle them if they had been properly prepared.
 And even after they have exhausted every means of identification and sal wage they succeed in delivering only slightly more than one-fifth of that amount.
 And this does not include vast quan- titles of circulars and newspapers which are not properly addressed, and which are destroyed because they can not be delivered.
 In Chicago there is one building that is used as a storage place for mail of obvious value and for mail of first class which can not be delivered. Twice year the contents are auction ed off, because there is no way of finding the owners. In this building are bins of shoes, quantities of cloth ing, dress. goods, automobile parts and tires, sporting goods, suit cases-ev- erything from a bird cage to a mouse trap. These are lost to both the one who sent them and the one who should receive them because somebody was careless in tying a knot, ~or used flimsy wrapping paper, or put on a defective address.
 Nearly 300 employees are engaged in correcting the common, preventable errors of the people. The only req son the postoffice can stand this drain of carelessness upon it's resources is that the people pay the bill.
 There ought to be a general cam paign of education with the object of impressing upon the people the inn portance of properly preparing and addressing anything they put into the mail box.
 Another waste, caused by sheer thoughtlessness, arises from the GUS tom of many business houses holding their mail until the close of the busi- ness day, when they release it to the postoffice in a perfect deluge. All day, cancelling machines, distributing cases, and the other facilities for handling mail lie practically idle, and just after p. m. they are taxed be- yond their capacity. If people would simply change their mailing habits to the extent of depositing their mail even two hours earlier than they do at present, it would revolutionize the postal service.
 This article is written in the hope that many people will adopt the idea of paying better attention to their mail matter.
 After all, the post office is the great public servant and it behooves every citizen of the country to make that servant as efficient as possible.
 Much of the criticism leveled at the post office is due to the carelessness of the general public
