COLER'S RAPID RISE. |
Due to His Ability t. Grasp Every

New York's Democratic Candidate
for Governor Ii an Illinois Prod
uct-His Splendid Record as
City Comptroller.

Bird S. Coler, who was nominated
for governor by the democratic state
convention at Saratoga, \. Y, was
comptroller of New York city under
Mayor Van Wyck, and his record in
that Office made him a. gubernatorial
possibility several years ago. He is
a member of the firm of w. N. Coler s.
Co, bankers. He was born at Urbana,
Ill, 33 years ago.
he has been well advertised. This in
q large measure has been due to the
keen appreciation he has of news" in
the professional sense. When the fight.
against the great Ramapo grab of
$~2O0,OO0,0OO a on, several years ago,
Golfer was cartooned as the. David hurl-
ing his sling at the mighty Goliath of
Graft. When the movement for rapid
transit began to take material shape
it was Coler who championed tunnels
when Van Wyck, then mayor, tried to
put all the surplus city funds into
bridges. When disclosures were made
as etosthe reckless way in which the
Tammany corporation counsel was
confessing judgments and allowing
cases to be settled without trial it was
Coler who went to Albany and secured
thepassage of al restraining act.
When the fright over a water famine
came, andsthe demand was made for a
new source of supply for New York
city, Coler paid 5000 from his own
pocketSto John r. Freeman, of Provi-
sedence, r. L, to make a survey of all
available water sheds. When the West
street .'grab" was attempted, by which
a private corporation would have en-
circled the water front with-a freight
railroad, Coler, with his own funds, i
ployed ex-Judge JohnF. Dillon to pre-
parean opinion for representation at the

to be offered a seat in parliament in the.
nationalist interest. His generous
purse would have been welcomed. He
declined the invitation on the ground
that while he believed III home rule

subscribe to5the ~separatist policy.
Since the death of Mr.. Gladstone, Sir
Thomas political views have changed,
and, as he is an intimate friend of Lord
Rosebery, 1t is more than likely he will
enter parliament under the banner Of
that statesman who has nearly all the
aristocratic lady politicians-with
whom Sir Thomasis so popular-on his
side.

would be almost impossible to upset..

temperance, and described England az
"a drunken nation" As for Mrs. Carrie.
Nation, she laughed heartily over the
Kansas amazon, said that she was mis-
guided and that her efforts to reform
drunkards did more: harm than good.
Lady Somerset handled the question
of %canteensin the army without gloves,
and said that the time was, not far dis
tant when Intoxicating liquor would
not be tolerated ever in the English
army.
Drunkenness is on the increase in
England" said Lady Somerset. 81 am
really ashamed to tell the American
people in what a ~deplorable state the
United Kingdom is. 1t has become a
nation of drunkards. 1t seems hope.
less to work for its reformation. In
the army alone, the very place where
one would expect to find it, less spirits
are usedtthan formerly.
"The increase in intoxicGtion at
home is due to the spread Of the dis
ease among women. I am very sorry
to hear that women in America are
drinking more than formerly. / can
not believe it. 1 had such great hope
of American women. They always
seemed to have more backbone and
will power than my country women.
ITO illustrate to you how women
abroad have taken to drink, I want to
say that about IS years ago the aver
age of arrests in London for intoxica.
ton was four men to one woman. Now
it is three women to n man.
"Why is it? Well, one OF the chief
reasons is that there has been too
much privacy about the public houses
Of late, and women are now able to go.
to any of them without being seen by
the public.
"Thes% increase in drink among women
has naturally made a great increase in
crime. The reason is apparent. Wom-
en- are more excitable, sensitive and
nervous in drink than men, and in this
condition will commit crime more
readily. The school bill that was
passed Sprohibiting the sale of liquor
to children under IA years has stopped
drunkenness to some extent, but it is
only adropin the bucket"
