The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1923-05-25

To the average citizen of these
United States, the liquor abstinence
resolution which w. J. Bryan engin-
eered through the Presbyterian as
sembly is almost beyond understand
ing. Under that resolution. all stu
dents and faculty members of Pres
byterian colleges are to sign a liquor
pledge.
Why does Mr.. Bryan regard such
a resolution as necessary? Why does
Mr.. Bryan believe that a return to
w. c. T. u. pledge days is necessary,
particularly in sectarian educational
Institutions? Isn't Mr.. Bryan aware
that abstinence is the law Of the land,
written into the Constitution of the
United States9 And doesn't Mr.. Bry-
an realize that the American Consti-
tuition certainly should be more re-
spected than a pledge to abstain from
the consumption of liquors3
The only possible explanation is
that it is Mr.. Bryan at his best. 1t is
the Bryan who couldn't see the hand
writing on the wall and ran three
times for the presidency. 1t is the
Bryan who stands fairly in the face of
science and keeps battering away at
the evolution theory. 1t is the Bryan
who wrote a straightforward note to
Germany on the submarine question
and then appended a postscript serene
ly informing the kaiser not to take the
message too seriously.
One concludes that Mr.. Bryan is
having a lot of fun.

No Jail Delivery

1t is a fact not generally known that
most of the federal prisoners convict

liberated and return to their homes at
once if they were willing to take an
oath to support and defend the Con-

full sentences because they refuse TO
abandon their attacks on the peace

Bandit Recruits

One of the terms of agreement be-

bandits is said to be that the latter
would be enrolled in the national army.
Inasmuch as the robber baud is under

apparently a question: whether the BAN

next train footing will probably have
a certain amount of government sane

American and other friendly influences
are extended, and additional capital

themselves felt. The Chinese people
accommodate themselves to
conditions, and are naturally honest
and industrious. The friendly feeling

would bring peace and contentment to
