HAVE WARM DEBATE

BRYAN’S ‘ VACATION.”
BRISTOW RESOLUTION TABLED
Ashurst Tells Kansan He Was Once
Desirous of Fat Job With
Little Work.
Washington. — Secretary Bryan’s
policy of lecturing in his vacation
time involved the senate in a bitter
controversy. It began when Senator
Bristow, ignoring the defeat of his
resolution directed at Mr. Bryan's ac
tion, insisted upon being heard in se
vere criticism of the cabinet officer.
Before the debate ended charges
and counter charges between sena
tors on the two sides of the chamber
had brought the senate to a high
pitch of excitement Senator Ashurst
produced an old letter of Senator
Bristow's which he declared indicated
that Mr. Bristow in 190C had beeu
perfectly willing to take a federal po
sition and devote only part of his
time to It.
Bristow Retorts With Charge.
Senator Bristow retorted with the
charge that Senator Ashurst had
spent over $100 of public funds send
ing private telegrams that should
have been paid fo-r from his own
pocket, a charge denied by Senatoi
Ashurst, but which Senator Bristow
agreed to prove by producing original
telegrams that had been paid for out
of senate funds.
From these personal accusations
the debate went into the general
field of public lecturing and writing
aud democratic senators called atten
tion to the Chautauqua platform work
of Senator Bristow and many others
and to the newspaper writing that
Senator Bristow had done at the last

senator emphatically declared that he

BERLIN A COMFORTABLE CITY
Offer* Opportunity for Passing a Win
ter Unequaled by Any Other
Place in Europe.
Berlin.—This city is the most com
fortable city in Europe. This plain
statement of a plain fact doesn't mean
that Berlin is beautiful as is either
Paris or Vienna, but simply that as
a place in which to pass a winter
or to reside the entire year it of
fers opportunities which do qot ex
ist in Europe.
Berlin proper is not imposing, its
historic interest is scanty, but the new
Berlin, Greater Berlin, is a brilliant
city of villas set in a large park,
where the streets are curved, where
every vista invites the eye, where
flowers rule and great spaces delight.
Ten years ago Berlin West, say Char
lottenburg, in the vicinity of the
Unter den Linden.
zoological garden, was considered a
suburb; today it is the real Berlin,
and not the stuffy old town, with its
dingy houses and not too fragrant
streets.
Of course, Unter den Linden will al
ways he the heart of Berlin for the
tourist, not alone because of the big
hotels of Friedriehstrasse, Leipziger
strasse, and the shopping district, but
because the royal palace, the muse
ums, the new cathedral, and the Lust
garten are at its other end. But leave
it at the Brandenburg gate for the
Tiergarteu, and a crow cannot fly any
straigbter than the wide allee called
the (.'harlottenburg Cbaussee; then
walk leisurely through this delectable
region till you reach the Cbarotten
burg bridge, thence up the Berliner
strasse to the bend or junction,
(Knie), and with the exception of cer
tain parts of Paris and Vienna you
will not find a finer street in the
world. There is the long Bismarck
strasse to pursue; or you may follow
the Berlinerstrasse to the old palace
with the monument of Emperor Fred
erick II., on the Luisenplatz. Or cut
through the Tiergarten at the station
and come out at the zoo, with its fan
tastic animal houses and fine walks,
and you are on Hardenbergstrasse in
front of the Romanesque (late) me
morial church of Emperor William—
with a hideous chime of bells (Berlin
churches are ugly).
The view straight up this avenue is
inspiring. Some noble buildings adorn
it. and at the Steinplatz there is an
other vast square flanked by apart
ment houses that set you to wonder
ing over the ingenuity of Berlin archi
tects and their capacity for the clever
varying of styles, so as to mingle mod
ern and German Baroque without of
fending the taste.
