Washington Looked
For Bryan Drive
Against Evolution

Washington, July 26.-(AP)-New:
Of the death Of William Jennings Bry
an came to Washington with stun
ming suddenness and at time wher
his name was blazing in headlines
much as it did at the height of his
political career 20 years ago.
His efforts at Dayton had giver
friends here the impression that he
was in vigorous health and 1t had
been freely predicted that his voice
would ring out when the next congress
assembled in a movement to throw
into senate and house debate the
cause for which he had fought in
Tennessee.
Although keenly interested in ma jor
legislation Mr.. Bryan's name was less
and less frequently mentioned on the
floor, unless the subject was one
dealing with an issue dear to his
heart, such as prohibition, when quo
tations from his expressed view were
freely used.
Notwithstanding the absence of the
Nebraskan from the Capitol for a
long perlod OF years, ne continued "
hold staunch friends in and out Of
congress. And even though his per-
sonal stamp was absent many pieces
of legislation came to be viewed as
bearing his approval. and when oc-
casion demanded he could make his
views heard very clearly with general
political issues, which have been
dealt with by congress. He has not
been prominently active in recent
years. -

this chapter he chose as text: Pre-

alted and every mountain and hill
shall be made low; and the crooked
shall be made straight, and the rough
places plain" He used as introduc-
ton the splendid old Roman roads
and that for which they stood. Then
he went on to say that these high
ways were within the soul. not with
out, that preparation for war and
strife did not constitute such high
way. The way to God was to be a
highway, not a byway and the best OF
