The late William Jennings Bryan
was an ardent pacifist. In a lecture
in Fittsburg he once said:

spoilation, or rather, of theft Nearly
all great soldiers are great robbers.
Yet look at the decorations glitter
ing on their breasts
"In olden times we hung thieves
on crosses. Now we hang crosses on
thieves"

"Silence" has a tremen- dous punch-a man, convicted of murder and within five hours of execution refuses to speak the words that will prove him innocent. Why he is willing to die, the fight to save him and the events leading up to this climax make a powerful picture.

 Enforcement

New York. Dec. II GP-Enforce- mcnt of the blue laws in Irvington, N, J.. is viewed by the Lords Day Alliance as an attempt to discredit Sunday restrictive legislation.
 The Rev. Dr. Harry l.. Bowlby. general secretary of the alliance, ad- dressing it's annual meeting last night charged that the authorities of lrvington want to so annul the laws of New Jersey that the state will have a wide open Sunday"
 A difference of opinion as to the necessity of additional Sunday re- strictive laws developed among speakers.
 The Rev. Dr. Henry Howard of the Fifth avenue Presbyterian church, who recently came here from Aus tralia, asserted this country Is run to death" with laws.
 Every time I tramp on the streets I am afraid of violating law" he said. You have got to get princi- plos into men. Then you can take away your laws. your legislative re- strictions and prohibition"
 Opposed to this view were the ex- pressions by President David S. Wylie of the alliance and Bishop Luther B. Wilson of New York. who pleaded for stricter enforcement of Sunday laws and for additional laws to prohibit labor on Sunday.

 before a church meeting. declared church members can aid the en- i forcement of criminal justice in two
 ways. He is son of Chief Justice Taft.
