The Enforcement of the License Law.

The letter of c. H. Davenport,
printed in this paper, on the duty of
license men toward the new license
law, states the case in strong, plain
terms, and the fact that the writer
has been a leading advocate of IL
cense as against prohibition gives it
added force. Mr.. Davenport comedies
that the most apparent result of the
first month of license in Brattleboro
has been a revolving increase in the
amount of drunkenness seen. The
statement of the Rev Mr.. Keneston of
West Brattleboro to his congregation
last Sunday morning of what he saw
in this village in a half-hour's time
is along the same line. So were the
remarks made by Rev. Father Cum
ningham to his people at Sunday
morning mass. All three simply
state facts which are matters of COM
mon conversation. and which are ap-
parent to anyone whose duties take
him upon the street and who does not
shut his eyes when he is there.
The PhGniX has from the first eX-
pressed the hope that the new law
would be strictly and honestly en-
forced, and to that hope it still ad-
heres. In no other way can fair
judgment of the laws merits be
any wish, felt or expressed, that H.
cense may run riot so as to defeat it.
self. Nor can any prohibitionist or
other friend of temperance, who
means to be a good citizen, take such
ground. The situation with regard to
the rum evil will be bad enough at
the best, and the final estimate of the
good or bad of license will come
when the people have made up their
opinion, not only of what it has
brought in the way of increased or de-
creased drunkenness, but of what it
shows in influence on the young, in
the criminal record, in increased or
decreased poverty, and in the effect
which employers of labor find that it
has had on their business.
The point for advocates of license
to remember in these early days OF
the experiment is that the RESPONSE
bility for the enforcement of the new
law, and for its success or failure,
rests on them. The initial burden is
shifted to their shoulders, and the
more firmly and determinedly they car
ry it, the more cordial will be the sup
port they receive from every friend of
temperance.

Ohio for Roosevelt.

President Roosevelt's prestige has
strengthened and that of Senator
Hanna correspondingly weakened by
the leading event of interest TO politi-
clans this week. Senator Hanna was
opposed to the adoption by the Re.
publican state convention in Ohio of
a resolution in favor of the nomination
of Roosevelt by the next Republican
national convention. Senator For.
aker was strongly in favor of such q
resolution. When Roosevelt was in.
terviewed at Walla Walla, Washing,
ton, Monday he said that he had not
asked any man for his support and
that he had nothing whatever to do
with raising the issue of his endorse.
ment; that it was bound to arise
sooner or later, and inasmuch as it had
arisen those who favored his admins.
tration and nomination would endorse
them, and those who did not would op-
pose them.
On Tuesday Senator Hanna backed
down completely. and gave TO the AS.
sociated Press a statement to the eff.
feet that he had received a telegram
from President Roosevelt which indi
Gated the latter's desire to have the
endorsement of the Ohio Republican
state convention, and in view of this
he should not oppose such action.
This means that Ohio will give an un-
qualified expression in favor of Roose-

John CONDON
WILL CONTROL
FIELD BOOKS
Chicago Racing Magnate Out
bids George Rose, Who
Won Heavily Last Season

Ohm CONDOR of Chicago will con-
troll the field books at the coming
winter meeting of the California
- Jockey Club, which opens at Oak
land on November II.
For a time after the closing down of
Ingleside track some years ago the field
book business was at low ebb With the
increased interest shown for racing and
the large number of recruits to the game
every season a one-time drug on the mar
ket is now in demand, it would seem.
Last season George Rose had the privi-
lege. which earned him something more
than $4,000. John Condor is the owner of
Harlem track and the central figure in
Chicago racing at the present time. He
IS also a heavy stockholder in the Cali
fornia Jockey Club Rose was seeker
for the privilege again this season, but
the bid of the Chicago turf magnate ex-
ceeded that of the California layer of
odds.
There is money in laying combination
odds when the play comes right The
combination book at Seattle earned S12, ,00O
during a fifty-siX-day meeting.
Thomas II. Williams and family leave
for Chicago and the Eastern country on
Wednesday morning next. The president
of the California Jockey Club makes the
trip on business in connection with the
approaching racing season.
The holder of an "out' on the Cash
Club, calling for 81 from last Saturday s
meeting at Oakland, can collect same on
presentation Of the ticket to Secretary
Percy Treat of the California Jockey
Club.
Charles Boots has applied for thirty
stalls at Tanforan track. This means
that the popular owner of Elmwood farm
will race big string the coming winter
Barney Schneider quite recently applied
to the California Jockey Club, by letter
for thirty stalls at Oakland. Last season
Barney tried to conduct a healthy purse
collecting business with a poor bunch oil
racing hardware. The campaign, so fan
as the stable was concerned, was much
/ of a frappe affair, but this next trip the
St Louis penciIer will bring out some OF
his best material. Buchanan is doing his
riding.
Judging from an application made tc
Secretary Treat for forty stalls, Walter
Jennings will race here on an extensive
scale.
Bookmaker Caesar Young departed 70,
Los Angeles last evening. The meeting
at that point, which opens on October 10
will be conducted on the syndicate plan
| from all accounts. Before leaving for the
southern city Caesar asked to have some
stalls reserved for his horses. This dis
| poses of the rumor that his colors would
not be seen again at Oakland
Recent reports from New York have
George Rose off $4,000 loser. The Califor.
MIA layer makes the largest individual
book in the country and even if he has
encountered some squally weather of late
two or three good days would find him
again sailing on an even keel.

on the New York tracks, is almost as big
