BRYAN GLAD TO
SEE REPUBLIC ANS
WIN IN PENNA.
Tells of Long Fight Against
Liquor Interests and Re
sults of Victory
Appearing before two thousand
i persons who crowded into Chestnut
Street Auditorium. William Jennings
Bryan, former Secretary of State,
and Frank B. Willis, ex-Governor of
Ohio, brought many cheers and
much applause from the large audi
ence in two stirring addresses on
national prohibition
The two speakers came here undt-. -
the auspices of the Anti-Saloon
League, and so large a crowd turned
out that it was necessary to hold an
overflow meeting in the Reformed
Salem Church. Mr. Bryan closed his
address with the statement that this
morning at Washington he would
witness the acting Secretary of
State sign the last document which
would eventually free the country
from the liquor interests, and that
witnessing that scene would be one
of the greatest moments of his life,
bringing to a reality one of his
fondest hopes. Both speakers gave
addresses in the large hall and in the
church, telling of the bitter fight
which has been waged against the
breweries and distilleries.
Mr. Bryan condemned the lawyers
who represented the liquor interests
and then paid a great tribute to Gov
ernor William C. Sproul and the stand
he took on the proldbition question.
Mr. Bryan's praise of the present
chief executive of this state was "I
am glad that Governor Sproul beat
the Democrats in Pennsylvania in the
last election. I only wisli that he
had won by a million votes instead of
but a quarter million. I have great
respect for Mr. Sproul in making his
fight in Pennsylvania." Mr. Bryan
then referred to the efforts of the
Democratic party in fighting the
liquor interests and of the results
achieved.
Willi* l'ralse* Stale
Ex-Governor Willis in his talk also
praised Pennsylvania and said that
in his opinion the state will not he
classed as a "slacker" and that its
Legislature will ratify the amend
ment. He quoted many arguments
advanced by the liquor publications
and then refuted them in a sweeping
and conclusive manner.
Comparing liquor traffic to an
archism in that it has no respect
for the law. the ex-governor ridiculed
the defenses offered by the booze
ring, and pointed to the fact that it
costs Ohio 111 to collect a 62-cent tax
on rum. and 110 for the nation to
collect $1 of such a tax.
Mr. Bryan's address follows in
part: "I will tell of the great Fed
eral ratification victory, how it was
won, of the forces back of it and
what we may expect to do now that
the dream has at last come true.
"The victory has been complete.
There has been nothing like it be
fore, I think, in the history of the
nation. When the movement was
started there were various reasons
put forth as to its cause. It was not
a Southern movement to keep the
liquor from the negro, as some
thought. By March 1 all Canadian
border states will have ratified it.
It was not a Western movement, and
it was not a distinctly Eastern propo
sition for ail but a possible two At
lantic States will ratify. It was not
agricultural, and it did not come
from the smaller states to place
them in advance of the larger ones.
It just seemed to spring from every
where. The liquor interests said
that they had only to gain thirteen
states to defeat the ratification, the
prohibitionists thirty-six. We have
eighty-four houses now, and they not
one!
"Nine years ago I made my first
prohibition speech. It was in an
empty hall which I had hired, and I
spoke to may hat and coat lying on a
chair. Six years ago I did not be
lieve that the victory would come
within twenty years. But now it has
been won and is more complete titan
we anticipated. The churches have
been leaders in the fight but were
very slow in entering for many rea
sons. They were inclined in the
moral force backing the movement.
They have not always been en
thusiastic, and some did not join un
til two or three years ago. One hun
dred years ago drinking was com
mon and about, that time came the
first step in a resolution adopted by
a Methodist conference forbidding
ministers from becoming interested
in the liquor business. The first work
of the kind in the Presbyterian
Church was a ruling that a minister
was not allowed to appear in public
in a drunken condition! Five years
ago it was hard to find a church
where you would be allowed to make
a prohibition lecture. The Anti-
Saloon League has played a most im
portant part in the victory," he de
clared.
Onee the Style
I "Science plays the second part In
the force of the movement. Statistics
show that there are more accidents
following holiday sprees than at anv
other period during the year. Fig
ures from life insurance statistics say
that risks are much greater for the
drinking man.
"It was once the style to be on the
side of the liquor traffic and inter
ests. It was considered manly. But
it is not even respectable now. The
rest of the world will follow late, as
it lias always imitated us to the ex
tent of making use of anything be
longing to us that was really 'worth
while. And you can rest assured
that it will make use of our attitude
regarding the traffic in liquor, which
I is nothing less than a traffic in hu
man souls.
"The victory has come sooner
than expected. The coming of the
World War threw a gastly light upon
the evil. In England Lloyd-George
early awoke to the menace that held
up the British efficiency, and showed
Parliament that they were lighting
three enemies Austria - Hungary,
Germany, and drink and that drink
was the greatest of the three. Mu
nitions and ships were held up at
an alarming rate and the request was
made for the closing of the saloons.
The same conditions existed in this
country until the 'dry zone' rule was
established," Bryan said "The Ger

SCENE FROM THE SENSATIONAL MELODRAMATIC SUCCESS, "SEVEN
DAYS' LEAVE," AT THE ORPHEUM TOMORROW AND SATURDAY
It has often been said, and considerable evidence has been produced to prove it, that great war plavs are
never written until after the conflict, and peace terms were signed. Among the plavs written alter a great war
were "Shenandoah" and "Secret Service," both products of the American Civil War in 1861. However, a big ex
ception to the rule is "Seven Days' Heave," which comes to the Orpheum Friday and Saturday and Saturday mati
nee. This big play had a six months' run to capacity business at the Park Theater, New York, and is "now in
its eighteenth month of a continuous run at the Lyceum Theater, London, Kngland; besides being played in at
least four other countries at the present time.

CASES HELD OVER
City Authorities to Determine
if Water Can Be Furnished
to the District
Hearing- of the complaints of peo
ple of the Penbrook-Frogress dis
trict against the service of the Pen
brook Extension and Susquehanna
township water companies was con
tinued by the Public Service Com

because the city of Harrisburg has
not completed its surveys to de
termine whether water from the city
system can be supplied to the com
panies.
According to the statement made
to the commission to-day the com
panies asked Dr. S. F. Hassler, Har
risburg city commissioner in charge
of water service, for information as
to whether water could be furnished
and Dr. Hassler informed the attor
neys that the levels had not been run
and probably could not be for sev
eral weeks. A number of other mat
ters in connection with the proposi
tion are also to be taken up, it was
stated.
The hearings were continued in
definitely.
The borough of Arehbald to-day
filed complaint with the commission
against the passenger service of the
Delaware and Hudson Company,
charging that the trains were insuf
ficient and did not keep schedules.
Petition is made for an order to re
quire the United States railroad ad
ministration to put on more train 3
and to have trains keep time.
The Monongahela inclined Plane
Company, operating at Pittsburgh,
to-day filed a schedule of rates which
advances rates for trucks and alio
provides that any vehicle occupying
more than half the width of the in
clined plane car shall be charged
fifty per cent, more than the regular
rates.
The commission to-day held a
dozen hearings, among them com
plaints against the North Branch
Transit Company, Fogelleville Water
Company, the Muncy Water Supply
Company, and the Panther Vallev
Electric Company. Sessions will bp

Make Plans to Enlarge
the Juniata College
Huntingdon, Pa., Jan. 29.—At the
quarterly trustee meeting consider
able time was given to the discus
sion of the work and plans for next
session. Plans for enlarging the
faculty, increasing the scope of de
partments and possible addition of
other departments were discussed.
The committee which was appointed
some time ago to prepare plans for
the extension of the plant on Round
Top reported that an architect had
been engaged who had visited the
college and made an inspection of
the grounds and buildings. The
architect discussed the proposed
plans for the extension of the col
lege plant and erection of new dor
mitories and buildings.
the operator was no more of an
enemy to this country than the sa
loonkeeper who opened his shop at
the gates of the army camp."
"Only one American soldier boy of
the 1.900,000 in France died in dis
grace. He was hung for a crime
committed while under the influence
of liquor, but the man who furnish
ed him with that liquor went free.
Thank God that we have decided to
close the rum factories in the United
States.
Amrriea In header
"The senttment in favor of the
total abstinence can help, and there
should be propaganda in that direc
tion at once. And from the Christ
ian standpoint, how can any man af
ford to put his interest in a business
that ruins so many of his fellow
men ? .
"We can now become Interested in
carrying prohibition to other lands.
Already some of the liquor men are
planning to invade other countries.
Some are going to Mexico to vomit
their awful trade to the detriment
of that already greatly disturbed
country. Others will go to China
to add to the opium horrors. We
must not let them go without warn
ing. r
"The United States Is now the
leader of the world. Under her guid

which is a distil■ t credit. On the
other hand If the Germans drive the
Kasier into exile and put a brewer
on the throne, they will not have

Dr. E. V. Claypool, State Secretary
of the Anti-Saloon League, opened
the meeting and led In singing. He
called for a silent prayer in honor
of Theodore Roosevelt and led
hearty cheers for the boys in France
and President Wilson. The Rev. J.

"Up to the time of the initial pro

will appear at the Oj--
"In Old pheum to-day and to-
Kentucky" morrow. with dally
matinees, statistician's
of the American stage were widely at
variance as to where to bestow the,
palm for the longest and most suc
cessful run of an American play. As
the engagement of "In Old Kentucky"
stretched from weeks into, months at
the big Academy of Music* in New
York, and it was noted no seats wore
to be had for weeks in advance, it was
evident that the prize winner was at
hand. Po solidly has this prediction
been fulfilled that all question on this
point has long since been set at rest,
and this thrilling story of love and
humor is universally acknowledged a
record breaker. Not a single season
has passed since this gripping story
of the Kentucky Mountains and Blue
Grass country has not visited the lead

look forward to its coming as one of

The much-heralded farce, "The Very
Idea," which will conte to the Or
pheunt next Monday evening,
"Tlte is the larce that was produced
Very at the Astor Theater, New
Idea" York, and ran for the entire
season to capacity houses
nightly, it will bo produced with an
exceptionally strong cast, containing
the best light comedians on the stage,
to-day. "The Very Idea" is an adroit
piece of work, and is continously
laugh-provoking. The basis of the
story is a childless couple. A brother,
whose hobby is eugenics, undertakes
to supply the couple with an accept
able and trustworthy infant, and then
persuading them to'have a child. His
choice falls upon his own chauffeur
and the young couple's maid, who, for
the sake of convention, which not even
a eugenic farce can completely ig- ;
nore, happen to be about to wed. The !
pride of the father and the various
uttle deceptions, which the couple are
I compelled to practice, furnish a ma
jority of the fun. and there is not un
expected denouement when the mother
refuses to surrender her infant —not
oven for the promised $15,000. Nor is
the news, which the young wife tells
her husband as the curtain falls, en
tirely a surprise to the audience. ,
Upon tliis theme and with the as
sistance of a splendid cast. William He
Baron, its author, has built an up
roariously comedy. "The Very Idea"
will get a laugh out of anyone, and a
couple of hundred out of almost an-y
I one else.

will he the bfth Princess Theater
musical production, "Oh, Lady! Lady"'
to be seen here.
"Oh, Lady! Lady!" is said to have
charm and novelty, and the charac
ters, unlike the usual types in musi
cal comedies, are human.
"Oh, Lady! Lady!" is described as
full of charm, with rollick and frolic,
and an amusing story that lias a real
plot. As in all Princess Theater pro
ductions, there is an air of refinement
in "Oh, Lady! Lady!" and a complete
absence of musical comedy vulgarity;
and those niceties which have been
such a charming feature ot the pre
decessors of "Oh, Lady! Lady!"—" N
obody Home" "Very Good, Kddie"—
and "Oh, Boy!"—are to be found in
"Oh, Lady! Lady!"
The music, by Jerome Kern, is light,
jingly and rhythmical, and quite in
the usual Princess Theater order, and
the song numbers are splendid. In
tact. Mr. Kern's dulcet waves of
catehy airs are being whistled every
where. The book and lyrics are by
Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse.
"Oh. Lady! Lady!" is filled with
pretty girls, smart gowns, elaborate
scenery, and all those things that have
made the Princess Theater produc
tions a feature and an institution.
William Elliott will be associated
with Mr. Comstock in the presentation
of "Oh. Lady! Lady!"
