The general unreliability of the inter
views quoted in the verious stories writ
ten up by the paid representatives of the
liquor interests claiming to represent
conditions on the Eastern Shore counties
where local option laws exist, may be
judged from TIE following instance.

Regarding this intervie W Mr.. Thomas
who richly deserves the high tribute paic
to his personal character in the item
above quoted, in letter written bv his
own hand and duly signed, says:
United States Post Office.
Chestertown, Nd, Sept is, 1907.
My Dear Sir:
My attention was called on Saturday
last to a reported interview or expression
from me in the Morning News Il think
it was) of August 31st last, on the success
or result of local option in this town.
II the interview took place, for there
have been several gentlemen around, the
reporter either misunderstood me or tie
report was fixed to suit the occasion, in
not covering ali the ground.
The facts in the case are these. Some
weeks ago a gentleman called at the office
(whose name do not recall) during our
busiest time Of the day and in the few
minutes conversation l could give him
stated
That local option was unquestionably |
OF great advantage to the town. l told /
him OF the number of comfortable homes
that had been erected and paid for from
the earnings of the laboring classes in
particular, which formerly went for lio.
1or, of the orderly conduct upon our
streets drunken man now rarely ever
being seen-that it had in no wise i'm
paired our business interest, but as to the
'olume OF business. 1 was not in a posi-
ion to speak-that as a party, the Repub-
lean party OF Kent had favored local 3D.
ion and in my opinion had been bene-
tied from it.
This covered the conversation.
l am to-day most impressed with the
eeds of local option and favor it more
nan ever before, which is saving much
nd knowing as do of the manifold bes-
ngs, comforts and benefits it has brought
our people, which I am heartily thank 4
j for and in favor of, l cannot under
and how l could have been in any wise
isunderstood. Knowing you are deeply
terested in this cause, know you
ould be glad to have expression from
e, as | am that l should be quoted cor
city.
l have kept in touch with your fight in
'laware and wish YOU every success.
With kindest personal regards, l am

to break away from using. By all means
keep the boys from getting strong drink.
If YOU have no boys that should not keep
you from voting for no license, because
somebody else has boys, who may be
ruined by using liquor.
When prohibition was first carried in
Caroline County the people who wanted
whiskey, quite number, went over to
place called New Bridge in the edge of
Talbot County after it. But now there is
prohibition in Talbot County, and not
near so much of it is used. The tempta-
ton has been taken away from part ofthe
county, and if no license is carried in Del
aware the temptation will be taken away
on this side of the county, and there will
be still less used.
Forty-fve or fifty years ago whiskey
was sold in Burrsvile, and there was five
times as much whiskey used and five
times as much gambling by the middle
aged and old people as there is now. The
boys in those days were not allowed to be
around the store much, and so had not
gotten into the habit of drinking much.
But now the boys and young men do
most OF the drinking. You might Just as
well try to run a saw mill without timber
growing in tho woods, with which to
make saw logs, as to try to run whiskey [

FRESHMEN DEFEAT RIVALS
IN HARD FOUGHT GAME
"sophs" Fall Before Opponents in
Contest on Bovard Field and
Individual plays Win
Game

The freshmen defeated their rivals, the
sophs, in their annual football game
PLAYED at Bovard field yesterday after-
noon. the score being IL to In favor OF
the babies"
The contest was hard fought through
ont and the contest was marked by con-
siderable fumbling, both teams being
penalized frequently for off side playing.
The freshies depended to great exteh'
upons the individual stars making up the
team to win the game, and their expec-
tations were carried out to the letter.
Almy. the much heralded quarter from
Berkeley high school, occupied the Key
stone position on the freshie eleven and
directed the plays in rare style. charles
richardson. the famous pole vaulter, was
introduced to the gridiron game yester-
dav and made a successful bid for the
calcium.
richardson ripped the opposing line
and left no room for doubt as to his
value as a player. Woolin, the crack
euler academy half, occupied a, similar
berth and showed considerable knowledge
of the sport.
For the sophs Decius and Schieber in
the back field gave signs of latent foot
ball energy and were generally good for
required distance. Gates also aided his
back mates in scattering the green haze
that was everywhere apparent.
The game was characterized by much
open play and end formations. and in
the last period the contest developed Into

POLYTECHNIC WILL
PLAY RUGBY GAME

The students of the Polytechnic high
school formally opened their athletic sea-
son yesterday.
During the first period in the morning
large rally was called in the audi
forum, at which Robert A. Thompson. q
member of the faculty who has charge
of the school sports, presided. Mr..
Thompson introduced Mrs. Gertrude Par
sons who led the assembly in singing
THE Star Spangled Banner"
After the song Mr.. Thompson spoke for
some time upon the games which have
been prepared for Polytechnic this sea-
son. He stated it was planned for the
school to adopt Rugby as the football
game and to dispense with the inter-
collegiate game entirely. This means
that the two local high schools will not
have chance of clashing on the gridiron
this year, for Los Angeles High has no
intentions of changing her game for
awhile
However, though Poly will not have a
chance at Los Angeles. she has mapped
out for her a long list of Rugby games
with the boys in citrus belt schools, to-
gether with Long Beach and several prac-
tice games with Los Angeles Rugby asso-
citation At present Pomona. Redlands,
Whittier, San Bernardino and Ions
Beach have teams to play Rugby, and
thompson stated tnat, as the lWo Stdte
universities had adopted the game and
so many of the southern high schools had
taken it up. it was his firm belief that
all the schools in Southern California will
have to play the game in the course OF
very short time.
Following Thompson, ]. A. Densham
who Is ia. coach the Poly Rugby team this
year, spoke on the general idea Of foot
ball and what his ambition was for the
Polytechnic team He told the students
several funny stories of his adventures
ON the football field and brought much
laughter from his audience by his witty
remarks.
The meeting was closed by few re-
marks from Principal Francis, after
which the students sang a Rugby song
