Plagemann Explains His Action.

+. p. Plagemann, whose horse General
Vallejo was an absentee at the Driving
Association races at Tanforan on Wednes-
day, is hurt at the criticism of his action.
He says he withdrew him from the match
race with E. Aigeltinger's horse Dolador
on the advice of a veterinary surgeon
who said he was too lame TO start
The sentiment at the track on Wednes-
day was that the horse should not have
been removed from the grounds at the
last moment. He should have been ex-
cused by the judges.

There's @ great deal of logic and sound sense in the observation of the original Missouri man" who demanded that he be shown"
 It Is all very we'll as an abstract propo- sition to agree that the standard of hon. esty in general is growing higher every year, and to assert firm faith in our fel- low man, but, just the same, there Is self protection and solid satisfaction in taking no ones word, but assuring yourself that the quality of what you are getting is genuine.
 In these days of imitation and substitu- tion 1t behooves every purchaser to imi. tate the shrewd gentleman from the Southern State and insist upon proof.
 Be from Missouri" Demand satisfac- tion.
 If you order a bottle of Budweiser, sec that 1t Is Budweiser.
 The way to be sure that you are getting the real article and not an inferior imi- tation, is to examine the cork. Genuine Budweiser has branded upon its cork, ac- cording to the style of bottling, either the simple word "Budwe ser. or the fa- miliar "A" and the eagle-the mark of quality.

YEARS POLICE REPORT
INTERPRETING r.HuREs CON-
 PILED FOR CHIEF GERALD.
During the Twelve Months 2,s43 Arrests Were Made and $6,- e25.7o Was Collected by
 the Department.

The annual report of the Montgomery Police Department was completed yes- terday by Gladden. Harrison, private sec retary to Police Chief A., 8. Gerald.
 The exhaustive document brings out rne fact that from October fst, 1s2. to Octo- Der 1st. 1903. 2.s43 arrests were made py the police department-i,o6s whites and 1,7& negroes.
 On account of the license that certain people think is given them by the advent of the holiday season. December was by long odds the heaviest month of the year. 297 arrests-t22 whites and t7S colored--' having their names inscribed on the guest book of the police sergeants
 The majority of the cases were persons between the ages of 20 and 90. and the offenses ranged through every crime In the list. Disorderiy conduct. plain in general favor 1.ili cases being docket ed for this offense. The assault and hat- tery cases were 1I3, assault to murder, g; burglary and grand larceny. a; con. cealed weapons, 56; gaming. ls7: larceny. 26a: Sunday law. 16.
 The largest class locked up were ''the great unwashed,' or that gang of riff- raff with the words mo occupation marked opposite their autographs on the guest book. There were just 445 of these 5S plain vagrants. s5 tramps $ barkeep- CTS. 8 bookkeepers. los clerks. q cooks. ii7 farmers, 6s hackmen. si1 iaborers. n me-- chants, Ill railroad men. T porters, TS washerwomen and A prostitutes.
 A total of ss.s25. 70 was collected by the department as follows: $s.635,f f5 from fines. S276. $ from the city pound, $la.5o from dead stock. The stolen property re- covered for owners by the detective force amounted to S.i2S.40.
 The report of the Recorder shows that 2, ts6 cases were tried. l.7zS fined. ninety- three bound over to the grand jury. 90 mol pressed, amount of fines assessed 3ls,- $500. The fines remitted amounted to S.sA and the amount of labor on the streets to i2.26s. days.
 Not wtthctandlng the small police force the report shows that the work accom- plished during the year was tremendous, and for city the size of Montgomery the police department is inadequate, The force includes . chief, . captain, two sergeants. two detectives. six mounted men. four bicycle men. one cemetery of- ficer, one Stenographer and twenty-one day and fourteen night men.

Judge somerville of Alabama on tke
 Results of the Presidents Policy.

North American Review for October.
 The disturbing effect of President Roosevelt's attitude toward the negro can never be adequately estimated, in It's re- tardation of the solution of the race prob lem which Is staggering American states manship. The appointment of the negro Crum as Collector of Customs at the port of Charleston. in opposition to the known sentiment even of the Republican Senate. and other like Presidential policies. pro- duced great excitement in the South. and reopened the wounds of race prejudices which were gradually being allayed. These issues were made paramount in the recent Democratic primaries in the State of Mississippi, where a most excit- ing election was held. The result was the nomination of candidate for Governor who avowedly tolerated negro lynching and etrenuously opposed the policy of ne- gro education. As The Sun we'll said: |: This means a deeper barbarian for the Mississippi negroes. a greater danger for the Mississippi whites" The overzealous fgriends of the negro thus become prac- tically his worst enemies.

money which has been advanced from the financial centre for the purpose of moving the crops and the furtherance of ra.iread extensions and enterprises re- verts to it's normal channels. as is inevi- table, the country at large will enter up- on new and much greater area of pros perity.
 "As . matter of fact. money is not scarce among the country merchants nor In country banks. It Is scarce in this city because of the tremendous enterprises and extensions which some of the lead ing railway and industrial systems of the country have recently adopted as DOT ton of their program of advancement. In the furtherance of this program vast sums of money were needed. and in or der to procure the necessary funds the which devolve to a large extent the suc- cess of the. country at large, have prac- tcally cleaned out all the ready money In the New York market.
 Tn its scheme of improvement and ex- tension the Pennsylvania Railroad alone recently used $so, ,ooo.o 900 In a lump. and by far the largest proportion of this sum came out of the city of New York. With the Pennsylvania requiring and obtain ing this huge sum. 1t Is not difiicult to es- timate what other systems would require Our own system has ueeo a large sum, and nearly all the other lines have fol- lowed similar course. In the develop ment of great enterprises a large sum of money is essential, and these necessary large disbursements have diminished the supply to a certain extent and have made . severe drain on the money market.
 VI am confident that things will right themselves in . comparatively short space of time. As the crops move and money again gets into circulation the situation will materially improve. The stringency of the past few weeks Is entirely natural and there is absolutely no cause for alarm on the part of investors.
 'In Texas the cotton crop is good, ai- though not quite up to the mark of re- cent years. Nevertheless, 1t is large, and I have personally satisfied myself that 1t Is sufhcientiy large to maintain pros- porous conditions among the merchants of the Lone Star State. My personal ob- servation Is that Texas was never in a more hourishing condition than at pres- ent, and the same is generally true of the Southwest.
 T found the corn crop to be excellent. The wheat yield is somewhat below the average. but the quality is much super- ior to that of recent years. Conditions, therefore, will be more than euualized Nowhere in the country at large is a money stringency perceptible, and 1t is my belief that there will be plenty of money forthcoming as soon as the crops are moved and Wall Street emerges from It's wave of pessimism-a wave that Is absolutely unaccountable, in view of the general prosperity of the countrp. other than that millions Of dollars have been put In betterments and Improvements of many kinds and that every branch of commerce has needed capital'
