Fight Saloons with SALOONS

l EISht saloons with Saloons
NEW YORK, March 15.-Lord Grey,
| who has fought the saloon on novel
| lines and with much success in Great
Britain, addressed gathering Of New
York men and women philanthropists
III the City club recently. He aimed to
show how the saIoonkeeper could be
| driven out of business without IegisIa-
/ ton. In a nutshell, his plan is for men
| of means to open saloons, take per
! cent out of the profits to pay for the
| capital invested and devote the remain
| der to free amusement places that will
! attract men from the saloons. His idea
| is. to do away with the running of sa-
looms for private profit and eliminate the
| question of gain from the business.
President Supports OdeII-
| Gov. Odell, Of New York, will have
| the hearty and unqualified support Of
President Roosevelt for a second term.
It may not have been necessary for the
| governor to visit the president in or
der that this fact should become known,
| but it did become known today, after
| the governor had spent Sunday evening
as the presidents guest, when the po-
lluca1 situation in the Empire State was
considered in all it's details
While these two young and robust DO
litical leaders have had very friendly
understanding, each has had some DO
litical wounds inflicted by the other
which required time to heal. The gov
ernor, as chairman of the state COM
mittee, was Senator Platt's representa-
tive in Philadelphia when the arrange
ments were made to nominate Mr.. Roose-
welt for vice president. AS a result Of
| that arrangement Mr.. OdeH became the
candidate for governor, the only political
office which at that time Mr. Roosevelt
wanted. AS governor Mr. Odell made it
difficult for some of the presidents
friends to retain office and impossible
for some others to do so, and the presi-
dent has felt he was not treated as gen.
erously as he might have been. Presi-
dent Roosevelt, it is stated has no re-
sentiment, and feels that the governor
is entitled to a second term. He has Of
fered to do everything in his power to
make Mr.. Odell the nominee and to elect
him next fall
Sunlight Walls in Schools
1t was owing to a suggestion of the
art committee of the Public Educational
society, of which Mrs. Schuyler Van
rensselaer, is president, that the rooms
In New York's public school buildings
are tinted yellow instead of the dreary
gray that formerly prevailed. It was
from an aesthetic standpoint that the
appeal was made to Mr.. Snyder. the
school architect, at first, and the testi-
mony of an eminent oculist as to it's sci
entific advantages was added later 1t
certainly is far more cheerful, especially
in rooms where sunshine never penetrates,
to have at least suggestion Of it's tone.
Public Baths in Sums
New York's need Of public baths was
set forth in emphatic terms at a hearing
held before the aldermanic committee on
public health upon President Cantors
resolution requesting the board Of es
innate to appropriate $500, 900 for the pur-
pose Of constructing such baths in con-
1orm1ty with the plans of the New York
Association for Improving the Condition
of the Poor, which has recently com
pleted an exhaustive study of the sub
ject. Representatives of the association
presented figures which made a deep i'm
preston upon the committee AS a re-
suit Of the census of three West side
blocks, John Seely Ward. chairman Of
the associations committee, said that In
