Declare That Temperate Use OF
Beer Promotes Health
and Happiness.
AGAINST THE LOW SALOONS
DRIVEN INTO POLITICS BY IN
TEMPERATE ATTACKS.

Milwaukee, Wis, June 1o.-The pro-
motion Of temperance in the use OF fer
mented beverages, the meaning Of tent
perance being neither abuse nor disuse,
is favored by the United States Brew
ers' association In a lengthy set of prin-
ciples which the association adopted at
its closing session today. They also
favor the elimination of the objection
able features OF the retail liquor traf-
fic and pledge their fullest cooperation
toward their extinction.
The brewers also declare that IL is q
mistake 10 believe that the commercial
interests Of the brewer stand back of
the excessive multiplication Of saloons
or any of the unlawful or improper
practices of the saloon keepers. When
ever a spirit OF genuine inquiry and ra-
tional betterment shall take the place of
needless persecution, aiming not at i'm
proVement but at the determination of
their business, the brewers will welcome
IL and would gladly refrain from par
ticipating in politics.
The platform continues in part:

The appointment OF an advisory

that he Advocated the appointment

its ideas fail to meet with his az

therefore be helpless and of no tan

Even had the committee been Gre

day--too late to undo what has al.
ready been accomplished Such as-
tion should have been taken befor
the suit was instituted and when the
representatives of Virginia received
but scant courtesy at the hands Of
our executive and Legislature. AZ
Mr. Cornwall remarks.
The fact is the question has been
pooh-poohed too long and when the
demurrer Of West Virginia was
overruled The administration began
to realize the seriousness of the sit
uation and the people have also been
aroused somewhat as 10 our pIc
dicament
The time was when West Virginf.
could have reached an amicable a..
justment of the matter upon most
reasonable terms, but the admins
tration saw much graft ahead. Many

THE ADNHNISTRATIO AND
THE VIRGINIA DEBT

What mighty thing has developed
n the Virginia debt case that such
taste and secrecy was necessary
when the state Legislature came to
iscuss the matter?
This is a question that is highly
pertinent and one that ought to oc-
cupy the attention of the people of
the state
The matter was brought before
the legislature without notice by
Governor Dawson and Attorney
General May. The appointment of
a commission was suddenly urged,
and every effort was made by the
administration to rush the matter
through without consideration
either as to the necessity for such
"a commission and it's duties, or of
the PERSONAL of the commission,
which, while apparently a leglsla-
tive committee, is, i'm reality,
committee appointed by the COVER
nor, for IL was the administration
that suddenly sprung the commits
sion idea with the personnel al
ready fixed, and rushed it without
due consideration through both
houses of the legislature.
In the senate the rules were, for
ONE reason, suspended, and the
esolution rushed through with a
nd that on a matter which may in
Iolve the state in millions of dol
ars Of Indebtedness. In the house,
he Democrats, with the aid of a
ew Republicans. were able to pre-
vent the suspension of the rules,
nd the summary action that the
administration desired, but eveS
here the measure was rushed
through with startling disregard
for its Importance.
Now what is the effect of the ap-
ointment of the commission?
The members of the commission
rave no power to act. They may
only advise" the governor, the at
.orney general and the board of
public works as to what should be
done The administration may fol-
ow their advice if it sees fit; it
may disregard their advice" if It
sees it, Wherein lies the benefit,
ave to blind the eyes of the peo-
pie to the real responsibility for the
onduct of the suit. to make the
people believe that bipartisan
commission is responsible rather
han the state administration.
Again. in it's personnel the com
mission has q number of excellent
itizens, who would doubtless give
EXCELLENT advice" but many Of
hese citizens are aged and infrm,
nd cannot possibly take an active
part iu it's work, others are so en-
aged that IL will be impossible for
he6l to act, and i'm real practice,
he Dawson machine will have
clear working majority of the mem-
beers of the commission although it
IS on it's face q bipartisan commits
sion.

lated himself on his Op-
perfume arrival; for
this would give him a
new insight into the
ways of the beasts with
their keepers
The head keeper, as
it CHANGED, was a man
of long experience with
wild animals in one of
the chief geological
parks of the country.
Long familiarity, how
ever. had given him
that most dangerous
gift, contempt. And
he had lost his position
through that fault most
unforgivable in an an
imal keeper, drunken
ness. Owing to this
fact, the inexperienced
authorities of this little
100 had been able to
obtain his services at a
comparatively mOder-
ate wage, and were
congratulating them
selves on the possession
of a treasure.
On this particular
morning Biddell was
not by any means him
self. He was cleaning
the cage of the two
pumas, and making at
the same time desper-
ate efforts to keep his
faculties clear and
avoid betraying his
condition. The two big
cats seemed to observe
nothing peculiar in his
manner, and obeyed
him sulkily as usual +,
but Kane noticed that
