to seek the station. only to see The

Grady On Whiskey Traffic.

"To-nightit enters an humble home
to strike the roses from woman's
cheek and tomorrow it challenges
this republic in the halls of Congress.
Today it strikes crust from the
lips of starving child and tomorrow
levies tribute from the government
itself.
There is no cottage humble enough
to escape it, no place strong enough
to shut it out.
It defes the law when it cannot
coerce suffrage
1t is flexible to csjole, but merci-
less in victory.
1t is the mortal enemy of peace
and order, the despoiler of men and
terror of women, the cloud that
shadows the face of children, the de-
mon that has dug more graves and
sent more souls unshrived to j1dg-
ment than all the pestilences that
have wasted life since God sent the
plaques to Egypt, and all the wars
since Joshua stood before Jericho.
It comes to ruin, and it shall profit
mainly by the ruin Of your sons and
mine.
It comes to mislead human souls
and crush human hearts under its
rumbling wheels.
It comes to bring gray-haired
mothers down in shame and sorrow to
their graves.
It comes to change the wife's love
into despair and her pride into
shame.
It comes to still the laughter on
the lips Of little children.
It comes to stiAe all the music of
the bone and fill it with silence and
desolation.
It comes to ruin your body and
mind, to wreck your home, and it
knows it must measure its prosperity
by the swiftpess and certainty with
which it wrecks this world.

room Tor a larger veslibule. The wind

Naval Cadet Emory S. Land, manager
Naval Academy boat crew, is making
an effort 10 arrange with the University
Of Pennsylvania, Harvard, Georgetown
ard Yale to send some singles to COM
pete with the Academy singles al the
same time their eight events come off.
Coach Ten Eyek is bringing cut quite
a number OF single scullers, and hopes
the various colleges will aceede 10 the
arrangements. He is firm believer in
the theory that every man in an eight
should be single sculler. There is only
one good single At for use at the Naval
Academy, but a compromise boat has
been ordered from Cambridge. which is
expected to arrive soon. The boat is a
little wider and not quite so long as the
regulation boat.
Manager Charles 5. Kerrick, OF the
Naval Academy base ball team, has re-
ceived word from the manager OF the
base bal team at West Point stating that
II would not be advisable for them 10
acquiesce in changing The date Of the
game between the clubs from May 18th

to change the date so that the members
OF the first class, who graduate May Isl, =,

which would have put both teams on

glass factory was great enterprise and

is no reason why the glass factory should
