"SiIver Tongued Orator

Virtually dominant in the demo-
cratic party for nearly sixteen years,
William J. Bryan was three times
nominated and defeated for the pres
idency. Then, like Elijah of old,
he cast his mantle upon the Elisha
of Princeton and exerted a potent
influence in bringing about Woodrow
Wilson's first nomination for the
office to which he, himself. had vain
Ily aspired.
Known in his youth as "the silver
tongued boy orator of the Platte"
| it was Mr.. Bryan's eloquence in
his famous "cross of gold" speech
at the Democratic National Conven-
Ition in Chicago in 1896 that made
him the choice of his party. He
polled more than 6,50O,0O0 votes in
MS first campaign.
His career has been likened to
that of Henry Clay who also was
three times nominated for the presi-
dency and as many times defeated.
Clay. too, became a Secretary OF
State. Friends Of Bryan insisted
that, like Clay, he was too conscien-
tious, consistent and scrupulous for
politician and that the famous
lwhighs' declaration 81 would rather
be right than President" well de.

 Frederick s. Fletcher expressed he hope that the officers hours could be arranged so that he would be on duty until the last car left the Compounce junction, as he de- clared that an unruly element some- times caused the residents Of that section much concern.

 Chief Belden again spoke of the corner in question and, referring 10 the opinions of MT Hayden in re- gard 10 the silent police signals, ex- plaincd that a bad situation had arisen in Forestyille, In the use as an isle of safety of the traffic standard there. He said that the youngster killed this week, had run from the standard Into the path Of car.
 Since the accident he had been informed that the school children had been instructed 10 run out 10 the traffic standard and wait there and then complete their trip across the street. Such practice was very bad, he declared. as the silent bea- con was no isle of safety and acd- dents could easily develop, if such practice continued.

 Another motion was then proposed to establish I third taxing district. which would include the Fifth school district, in order that the cX- pcnse Of police protection might be paid.

Want Trial Period

Mir. Hayden and Mr. Fletcher had expressed themselves as favoring q six months trial period. This pro- posal was voted down decisiyely and then one year period was agreed upon However, as few present thought that a permanent plan had been adopted, some ironing out had 10 take place. Corporation Coun- sel William x. Derosicr was called upon for several opinions and in formed the meeting that if would be impractical for the council 10 es- tablish d taxing district for six months or year. If the residents did not want the officer at the end of year. they could petition the council for a revocation of his serv- ices, but as far as the time limit on the taxing district, that could not be done. He stated further that the establishment of the taxing district carried no cost as that could be ef- fected regardless of the decision to employ an officer,
 Mir, Fletcher then explained his support of six months trial serv- ice in that he foresaw the heavy tax ing expenses of the district in the erection of the new $9oO00 school recently decided upon.
 4 vote was again taken to decide the trial period for the officer and the one year plan was carried with out dissent Upon the motion of Bruce A. Young, it was then voted 10 establish a third taxing district 10 my fnr tha nf.irnr
