asking for further details In regard to
the race programme OF the national
meet. There are several decidedly new
and novel features In this programme
which have never before been sprung
on the cycle racing public. The null
tiplet handicap event. and the inter-
state pusuit race both seem to be vex-
Ing problems. The chairman himself
has not yet decided just what method
will be employed in running them. The
great American handicap. which comes
the second day, has also attracted
much attention among the riders. and
the indications are that there will be
over ono hundred entries In this one
race. The amateur national champion
ship on the thlrd day Is practically a
new, event, tho entries being restricted
TO the winners OF the one mile cham
p,onships OF the different states. This
will cut down the field. but It will bring
together the fastest amateurs in the
country, and prove one OF the most In
teresting events OF the week. The WIN
ner of tho race can call himself the

his own son in the licensed gin-mill?
Issue Don't take fright at the friction and sacri-
ice which are inevitable when principled Right fights
organized Wrong. It is the price of progress.
Atlantic Monthly: The saloon has abolished party
politics in large Cities and today in every such
city the local government is vested in neither party
but is in the hands of the saloon itself.
N Y. Sun: Dr. Shields did not throw up the Pres
pyteran church because of any declared objection to
its doctrine ecclesiastical SYSTEM but simply to
be free to sign applications for liquor licenses
ever it pleased him to do.
Wisconsin Christian Advocate: How long will
good people halt between two opinions? If the Ii
policy is right beloved stick to your old party
which endorses it. but if it is wrong and you know
it, why not come out at and be separate?

while the classes continue publicly we'll pri-
vately to indulge in their tpple.
Detroit Free Press: Has the Maine law suppressed
the drinking houses and tipping shops?? No
than the statutes have stopped house breaking or

and driven them into cellars and dark corners and
taken the seal of state sanction from off the bust

California Voice: Everyone with ordinary reason
ing ability knows that the church has the power to
put away the saloon and bring prohibition to every
