The fight that lost its leader when
William Jennings Bryan died has
found a new standard bearer. A
new chieftain has arisen to take
the place of the Great Commoner
in the ranks of militant Fundamen-
talism.
George F. Washburn, multimil-
lionaire of Clearwater and Boston,
has taken for his own the ideals of
Bryan. He has dedicated his life
and his fortune to war on the teach
ings Of evolution. And this is his
6attle-cry:
.'Save the orthodox Bible from
the onslaughts of modernism. T."
1t was a year ago, before Bryan S
death, that Washburn head a SER
mon in Clearwater church about
the fight TO prevent the teaching of
evolution in the schools. After
Bryan death he began to rally
the dead leader 5 following, and in
November of last year he held a
mass meeting here, where 5000
people heard him cry:
Dedicates Fortune to Task
81 hereby dedicate myself, my
family and my fortune to the task
of stamping out the theory of cvo'
luton and the teaching of anything
disrespectful to the Holy Bible. -
And the crusade was on again.
Washburn S leadership is differ
cnt from Bryan 5. Bryan depended
on his oratory TO stir his followers,
Washburn is applying modern bust
ness methods, workin. as an organi-
zcr and executive to weld together
an efficient fighting machine.

Y. w. c. A. Elect
At Maukee Meet

Maukee, Wis, April 26.-4Pl-
Election of Mrs. John NJ. Hanna, Of
Dallas, Tex, as national president,
and the refusal to limit the voting
membership to those protesting Je-
sus Christ as their savior, marked
the session today of the biennial con-
vention of the Young Womens
Christian Associations of the United
States OF America.
The new president defeated Mrs.
Harriet Chamberlain of Toledo,
Ohio, in the election to select the
successor. of Mrs. NJ. Paist, Wayne,
Penna., who declined to accept an
other term. Both the president
elect and the retiring head are men,
bers of the Presbyterian Church.
Mrs. Chamberlain is Baptist.
Attempts to limit the electorate to
members of the Protestant Evangeli-
cal Churches failed today when the
convention refused with only 144 dis
senting votes to accept the substitute
amendment that would have re-
quired voting members to profess
Jesus Christ as their saviour. The
action Saturday required only
pledge from voting members that
they desire to enter the Christian
fellowship. of the association"

Similar to the A. 7.

Toxic, April 26.-P)--Dissolutio
of Kokusai, Japan's national news
agency, and the formation OF new
nom profit mutual news association
similar to The Associated Press IN
America, was announced TO-DAY toI-
lowing a meeting of representatives
of the empires largest Vernacular
newspapers.
The japanese name of the news
association is the Nippon Shimbun
Rengo, which, translated into Eng
lish, is 1.-The Associated Press oil
Japan" Eight newspapers having
% per cent of the total newspaper
circulation of Japan, compose. the
charter membership. They are the
Asahi, Nichi- Nichi, Hochi, Jill Ko-
Kumin and Chugai Shogyo of Toxic,
and the Asahi and Mainichi of
Osaka.
Yukichi Iwanaga, who has been
managing director of J<okusai. was
elected to a similar position in the
new organization. Regarding the
plans of the association, Director
Iwanaga said:
I'VE wish to follow, so far as pos
sible, the general idea of the Assoc
ciated Press of America, which un-
douDtedly is lHe greatest news Or
ganization in the world today. Ow-
ing to the peculiar conditions in
Japan, however. we cannot hope for
attainment of this ideal for some
time to come.
1.-The newspapers of Japan want
their news unbiased and uncolored
and it is believed that only through
"a mutual non-profit arrangement
can such news be exchanged. 1t
will also mean, eventually. a ire
mendous saving of money in news
gatherings"

his uncle and aunt, Mr.. and Mrs.
Souder, had taken Mrs. Handy to

7 KENNEBEC JOURNAL. TUESDAY, APRIL n, 1926.

The chorus work especially IL snap
by, full of pep and worthy of pro-
fessionAl performance. The solo
numbers aGe enough to make John
MacCermack and Charles Marshall
look to their laurels. One number
in the dance solo Of Mr.. Peter Daley
brings one back to the halycon days
of the American Minstrels and Prim-
rose. Mr.. Daley dances a real old
time waltz clog which in these days
of Jazz and athletic dancing seems
a rose in a garden of sunfiowers.
The scene opens on the deck of the
S. 8. Togus with party en- route to
the land. the name of which to the
veterans of the A. E. F., signifies
win blanc and omelettes. Major j.
r. Waltman in the role OF the host
to the party serves as interlocutor
for the first part. The deck hands
are introduced as end men and the
capers Of Pep Glazier. Duke Edward,
John O'Brien, and the rest furnish
enough comedy to tax the capacity
of the space reserved in the Hospital
for paralytics and hysterical cases.
In the words of George AIDE they are
knock.outs. The show is to be
broa dcasted to the Hospital through
the radio equipment that has recent
10 been installed which will allow
all the veterans confined to their
beds to hear the performance. All
the old favorites are again to make
their appearance in the revue, also
many new faces will be seen. The
ticket sale is large and a matinee
may be run to accommodate the pat
rons. Commander Maillet. who is
directing the show states that "All
is serene along the Potomac and To-
gus Stream" which indicates that
the Moose" expects good show.
The proceeds of the show will be
used for: the Legion rehabilitation
work

Road Conditions
Around Gardiner
Worst for Some Time

Road conditions in the rural dis
tricts about Gardiner are worse than
they have been for some time and
more than one automobile has been
mired within the past several days,
the services of a pair of horses and
several men being required to extri-
cate it. The stretch of State road
between Gardiner and the Pleasant
Pond Pavilion on the Brunswick
road is in bad shape, but beyond
that the road is in good condition.
The tarvia surface has been scraped
for a few miles out and the recent
rain made the roadbed soggy so that
the cars easily get mired. Automo-
biles have little difficulty getting as
far as Spears Corner on the West
Gardiner road, but farmers report
that it is not safe for autos to go
beyond that point. Planks have
been put in several of the bad
places and other precautions taken
on the stretches of road leading to
Whitefeld and if not obliged to turn
| out too far for another car there
is little danger of getting into trou-
BILE. A number of farmers who in
previous years have had cars and
trucks in operation the middle OF
April are still using teams and ex-
| pect to for another week or 10 days

days has brought the frost out SO
that the so-called "honey pots are

Mary Douglass Ladd

We loved her for so many beauti-
full qualities of mind and heart. For
her gentleness, her kindness, her
loving service to those dependent on
her care, her ready sympathy, her
high ideals, her loyalty, and devo-
ton to her family, her friends. her
church. We loved that cheerful, I'M
selfish nature, and the great, warm
heart so tenderly human, so filled
with compassion for all the suffering,
and SORROWS, and misfortunes of the
world. Nothing could dim for long
the natural sunniness of her dispo-
sition. : Although for a number of
years her health had been seriously
impaired her cheerfulness never
failed. And. at the last, when pain
and illness had brought her to the
very threshold of the Beyond, when
