of the Monticello Saloon. and six
against G. 9, Page, of tho Imperial

for violations of the law forbidding
sale, gift or delivery OF intoxicants
to students of an institution of learn
ing. In concluding It's report, after q
severe arraignmef1t Of those indicted,
the grand jury says: 4tis *
while the evidence shows that stu
dents are not served as freely in the
saloons of this city as formerly, and
the circumspection Of the dealers is
greater than ever before. there was
never q time, 1t seems, when students
experienced less trouble In supplying
themselves with such liquors as they
want. The method is simply that by
which the Charlottesville youths pro-
cure theirs: namely. negro agent
with unremcmbcrable name and fea-
lures. Here the most persistent probing
yielded no gain Of information, and
the criminal agent goes unwhipped OF
justice.
Poor Police Service.
We have been impressed with the
inability OF the police to aid US In
our task. With a single exception, we
found them deficient in effective in
formation, although courteous and
amhable. It seems to US that there
should exist in the police resources OF
the city tho power and the capacity to
run down these Intermediates be-
tween the demand for liquor. which

which is properly provided only by
compliance with the wcll-known

poses These Intermediates are the
necessary conditions CT the most de-
grading, insidious an dangerous traffic
Y in intoxicants now in progress In this
community. Under the laws the inter-
mediaries are the only criminal gents,
as far as we can say, as we have been
unable to establish that the saloon
keepers have conscious relation to
this traffic.

20 have him decline the nominal

son said Bryan had it in his power
to demand the leadership of the
Democratic party in 1908 or de
feat any other candidate by kill
ing him, as he did Parker"
Bryans acceptance was no
more than Watterson had expect
ed. however greatly he regretted
the action. because he thought
Bryan could no longer create en-
thuism. as he had been before the
people too many times.
Asked about the assertion often
made that the next President
would be Roosevelt or Bryan.
Col. Wattcrson said that the next
nomination of Roosevelt was all
Bryan's supporters wanted. be-
cause they could then go
to the people on the third
term slogan. Bryan could carry
New England in such a compaign
he thought. Roosevelt by such
an act would Mexicanize this
government. holding himself as
greater than Washington.
As for himself. much as he dis
liked to do so, Col. Watterson
would vote for Bryan against
Roosevelt in such a dilemma.
He believed, however. that Roose-
welt would decline another nomi-
natiod, as he had nothing to gain
and the Republican party had
many men of presidential calibra
He mentioned especially Secre-
tarv Taft, Governor Hughes and

He said Senator Crane would

ment that New England had not
