The national prohibitionist. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1907-1911, 1908-01-02

All the information we can get on the subject
proves that Prohibition does not diminish the
of liquor, or lessen the number of drunkards-
The Commercial-Abbeal, Memphis.
Mighty poor hand at getting information you
must be-
We have always maintained that Prohibition
did not prohibit nor did it lessen materially the
number of murders or the amount of crime

These men working menl believe in personal
liberty; that is they want to enjoy the freedom
of eating and drinking in manner most suitable
to their tastes-The Liquor Dealers Journal
And so the working man gets the personal
liberty of allowing his wife to take in washing,
his children to gather coal beside the railroad
tracks, his family to live on salt horse and sour
bread, while he buys furs for the saloonkeeper's
mistress, pays for the brewers girls music les

High School Foot Ball Notes.

Both teams played fast. snappy ball
yesterday. but the Western boys seemed
to be in the best playing condition, never
tiring and appeared as fresh at the finish
as at the start.
Eastern played we'll in spurts, but was
easily tagged, being unable to check the
speedy onsaughts and quick attacks of
its opponents, who used the quick forma-
ton play to advantage.
Martin, the star captain and halfback
OF the Capitol Hill boys, gave one Of the
grittiest exhibitions of fighting hard in the
face Of defeat ever witnessed in a high
school game. He was in every play from
the blow of the whistle, and, along with
Weaver, was the only man who could be
relied upon to carry the ball for the
necessary gain. With another man like
Martin in the game, the score would I'M
doubleday have been different.
Smith. Westerns active end. displayed
quite little speed when he grabbed q
punt on the bound and ran fifty yards for
i touchdown, outgaining the men who
strove desperately to nail him.
In spite of the fact that he had game
dence in the Central game. pulled off some
clever punts for the Western lads which
were very deceiving to handle clearly.
Besides playing a star game in every
other department of the game, Martin &C.
complisnsd a deed which has not been
perfected in the high school series this
year, when he kicked a pretty placement
goal in the first few minutes OF play.
Little Clly. who has haen nuttin0 m 9,

the creek. ran his team with excellent
judgment yesterday. working the backs
continually in the first. half till Eastern
began to check these plays. when ne pe-
gan using tackle through tackle, which
nearly swept the Capitol lads off their
feet
Along with Robson and Capt Oben-
chain, Watson, at left tackle, was about
the most consistent ground gamer for
Western. He was never thrown for a
loss and frequently made first down when
needed.
Parker. who has been performing well
at end for Eastern. was again on the lob
yesterday, bringing men to halt by his
clean tackling. and was also the CANDY in
making excellent interference for the
end runs.
Fumbling was frequent in the game and
several times men came near getting away
from the bunch after recovering a DROP
ped ball. Whitney got a tumble in the
second half and was about gaining his
stride for good sprint, but was nailed by
Guys flying tackle. The Western boys
often dropped the pigskin after being
tackled.
The game was slightly marred by con-
slant time outs. caused by continual In
juries to the Capitol Hill boys. This was
a good illustration Of their poor playing
condition.
Eastern was robbed Of a sure touch.

by Whitney running foul by a few
inches. The big tackle received Martins
return kick on the fly and crossed the
goal line. but was called back by the UNI

NEW YORK'S. RACING
SEASON CLOSES TODAY

NEW YORK. November To-day is
the last day of the racing season In New
York state, and the card at Jamaica is
only an ordinary one. 1t is not expected
that there will be a large crowd at the
track on the closing day, for the pass
age Of the anti-betting bill cut down the
crowds to a very small figure. and the
small purses offered fail to bring out the
best of the horses. What the future OF
racing will be in New York state no one
pretends to say. The recollection of Gov.
Hughes and the approval thereby ex-
pressed OF his anti-betting measures re-
moves the last vague hope of the horse
men that the bill passed at the last
session of the legislature might be re-
pealed and leaves the racing situation
chaotic. The racing associations con-
trolling the various tracks in the vicinity
OF New York have failed this year to
make the usual November stake an
nouncements, and It is said that none OF
them have made any plans for the next
season. 1t is probable that the next step
will be to take a case involving the anti
betting law to the court of appeals. SO
that the law may be definitely inter
preted.

lions were Inadequate, and many of the
patrons had to push and shove their way

have to replace the faster Dunlap. The
former plays slower game. but Ia
stronger and is great in defense. Crow
