Prohibition in the Daily
Papers


per reference will be found to a re-
narkable statement made by the New
York Sun concerning the possibility of
.lecting President upon the Prohibi-
ion issue. The Suns statement is, per-
laps, the most pronounced that has ap-
oeared in any daily paper in the coun-
ry and is likely to be studied with ex-
RENE care. Numerous other periodicals,
;ome of them in high standing, have
ipoken in hardly less remarkable terms.
indeed, during the last few weeks the
recognition given to the Prohibition
movement in the editorial columns of
eading journals has been even more
phenomenal than the remarkable growth
If Prohibition sentiment, as signihed
~ the elections that have taken place
various parts of the country
For example, the New York Tribune,
paper which has most rigidly ex-
.luded all favorable comment upon the
Prohibition question for years past
avs:
In spite of the statement of Sir
James Crichton-Browne that total alb
stainers, like poets, are born, not
made, and that their quality of life
is not of the finest brand; notwith-
standing, also, the protests of a no
less eminent American against puri-
tanizing the people of this country
and depriving them of their gentle
manly vices, the fight for Prohibition
seems to be making such Roadway as
to afford little comfort to its oppo
nents. Nor can it be asserted con-
vincingly that the movement is con-
fined to those localities where it is de-
sired to keep so inhammatory an
article as alcohol away from low
class of negroes. Prohibition senti-
ment seems to be growing stronger in
many parts of the United States, and
much progress has been made, at least
theoretically, in the direction of Pro-
hibition in places where determined
anti-saloon, sentiment would hardly
have been looked for
The Philadelphia Ledger, another
reat daily that has given its readers
cry little chance to even guess that
1ch thing as the Prohibition move
rent has existed, speaks in this wise:
Prohibitions spread is one of the re-
markable phenomena of the day. The
movement has gained vastly in
strength by changing its appeal from
the moral and domestic sentiment to
the economic side of drinking. Rather
is it that the economic side has been
added, for there is no lessening of
the argument for home and morality
The Ledger then offers suggestion
the saloon men, looking to the posi-
le preservation of their business 1t
.ys:
The saloon men cannot fight the
Prohibitionists They can so conduct
saloons that the evils of overdrinking
will not be Extensively thrust before
the public Whether they like the sug-
gestion or not, they must join the
forces of temperance and good order
by helping to prevent the improper

A Philadelphia Doctor Tells of a New
Pine Product.

Scripture writings and ancient his.
TORY so TO show that of all the ancient
remedies handed down from our re-
mote ancestors, pine is one of the
very few that still holds its place on
the prescribing lists OF the doctors of
today as ii did with the wise men
OF old as far back as the time of the
Pharaohs. The ancient Greeks were
wont to go upon the slopes of Cauca-
sas and the Romans to climb the Al
pine crags in search of this wonder
iul tree, the pine. One drawback to
the free use of the great curative
properties of the pine has been its
insolnl>ility, but n prominent Phila-
delphia physician who has been ex.
perimenting with refined pine pro.

he had at last achieved success and
gave tie world what Is known as Con.
fcentrated oil of pine. In n racent in
teryiew he also give out the formula
which has attracted so much attention
on account of its quick results in the
relei and cure Of all colds, coughs
and bronchial troubles. The formula
is very simple, being as follows.
one half ounce of Concentrated
OH OF pine; two ounces of glycerine:
half pint of good whiskey. mix them
and shake thoroughly and use every

These ingredients can be secured

The Guenn handicap and the special
race between Shot Gun and Cruzados,
scheduled for today at Emeryville, both
failed to fill on account of existing track
conditions. The card, although below
the standard for a Wednesday, will af-
ford some excellent sport nevertheless.
The opener, a three and a half fur
long sprint for two-year-olds. will be
contested by a wellbalanced field. Bra
you're, Lady Hildreth and Banonica
look best OF the bunch If the berak be
even. Bravoure appears to be very
fair youngster. Lady Hildreth won her
only out. Leroy Williams will pilot
her today. Miller was up when she
won.
The second presents a very open as
pect, and almost any one of the eight
entries may turn up as the winner.
Anna Karinina, from the Keene stable,
ran a fair race last out and may be in
front at the finish If the stable boy
does not mess things up. Tanana may
awaken and run a good race. Lugano
and Peerless Lass ran badly at short
price their last outs.
Bell Reed should win the third. with
Baker and Yellowstone right at his
heels at the end. Judge might be the
surprise of the race if he takes no.
tion to run kindly. M. A. Powell, Briers
and Meada have outside chances.
Mandator, Dorado, Governor Davis
and Magrane appear to be the horses
that demand consideration in the fourth,
at a mile and 100 yards. Mandator ran
a nice race in the Andrew selling
stakes last Saturday and should about
win. today with good ride. Dorado
has been performing very consistently
and can hardly be worse than second.
Governor Davis should beat Magrane
for third money Clydeo would be dan
gerous if he came to life, but his recent
races have been of the bad sort
Alma Boy looms as the probable win
ner of the fifth. for which a very mod
crate lot have been entered. 1t appears
to be- case of Hobson's choice with
the balance. Crowshade and Inf1am
mable may get second and third money.
Fred Mulholland is reported to be
working satisfactorily, and, although
he figures close with Vox Populi and
St Elmwood on his public perform
ances, it is probable that he will win.
Vox Populi is a well-bred youngster.
being by Voter. He earned brackets
for the first time on the New York
tracks late last season. Rose Cherry
has speed. but looks to be UP against
IT here. Miller Will ride Huerfano in
this race. Graham probably will be on

Hundred-to-One Shot Wins
First Race at Ascot

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15.-The feature
of today's card at Ascot Park was the
fourth race, a purse affair in which
half dozen horses of class competed
over heavy track. J. J. Walsh's good
colt Arimo brought down the long end
of the purse, but not without hard
contest Lord Stanhope was only a
neck away at the finish and would have
won in few more strides. The show
fell to the heavily played w. H. Carey.
The dopesters received a jolt in the
first race when Huapala, held in the
betting at 60 to l and at times as good
as 100 to /, earned the decision after
terrific stretch drive. This was the
twenty-third time that the horse had
started, but today's victory was the
first to his credit Huapala was off
before the half pole was reached and
kept on gaining on the leaders until
at the paddock gate he was run
ming neck and neck with Elm
King and both jockeys were using
the whip. The long shot proved
to be gamer than Elfin King and
reached the finish a neck to the good.
Magazine was much the best in the
two-year- race. Getting away poor
ly he made up ground gradually and.
assuming the lead in the stretch, won
going away.

down a commission to be wagered on

NO MANS LAND"
APPLIES TO AS
COT PARK
SPECIAL D1sPATcH TO THE GAIL

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15.-Owing ia
the failure of Secretary of State CurrA
to make proper return as to the hlir<Sh
of the certificate of election. the legal
status of Ascot Park and the district
surrounding II Is so uncertain that Sc
rious complications have resulted. 1t
cannot be determined whether that por-
tion of the county is within the city
or is still subject to the Jurisdiction OF
the county authorities. At the last
election the people voted by an over
whelming majority TO annex a strip of
territory reaching all the way to the
city of San Pedro. Ascot Park being
included. There is no doubt as to the
legality of the election. and the result
was properly certified to the Secre-
tary of State. but until Ofricial notice
is received of his having recorded the
certificate Ascot Park is a sort of no
mans land"
This condition has had curious ef-
feet upon legal proceedings. Yester-
day a man was arrested at Ascot for
battery The township justice courts
refused to hear the case. because they
consider the park within the city. The
Police Court refused to hear it because
no official notification had been received
of the completion of the act OF an
nexation. The result was that the de-
fendant was released. despite the fact
that his victim was seriously injured.
At Ascot Park liquor Is being sold
daily without either county or city
license. Chief of Police Kern refuses
to police the strip. and the County
Supervisors refuse to order any i'm
provements there.
