the Catholic and Jewish churches.
Practically all the Jewish clergy hold
themselves free to take a glass on oc-
c~asion, and very many of the Catholic
and Episcopal clergy, a good working
majority, | think. though | am open
to correction"
In a letter from John A. Roebling,
who is opposed to local option. pub
lshed by DR.. WATSON, appears the fol-
lowing:
THE liquor question, per sc, is
only the initial battle-ground. The
ethical philosophy underlying pro-
hibition must inevitably undermine
the foundation OF all morality,
since its ultimate effect is to rele-
gate to atrophy the principles of
personal responsibility and of in
dividual se~lf-control."
DIR. WATSON reaches the final conclr-
sion, regarding local option as follows;
A the Crown goes to press, word
comes from Trenton of the slaughter
of the bogus local option bill. 1t was
more than a defeat; it was a massacre
IA votes to Is, with every member of
the Assembly present but one. / have
no doubt that vote represents The I'll
vision of sentiment of the people OF
the State fairly. 1 do not believe that
If this bill were to be decided. by the
church vote alone, it would be over
whelmingly defeated. / believe it would
be hard to get a majority of the clergy
even to vote for it. But the %ngreg
tons do not maintain pastors to repre-
sent them politically. It would not
surprise me to learn that a majority of
the ~Assemblymen who voted against
the bill were members or adherents of
churches"

HARVARD CREW IMPROVING
Overcoming Slump in Form that
Followed Navy Race.
Crimson onrSmen Are Now Prepnr-
Ing for TvvO-miIe Race with
Cornell on Charles River.

Cambridge May 9.-Since the race on
the Severn River against the first crew
of the United States Naval Academy on
April % the Harvard Varsity eight has
been given only comparatively easy work;
for, as is natural after a contest the
men have slumped off a little i'm their
form as a result OF the tension and Coach
Wray has realized that there is plenty OF
time for the men to come back into shape
before meeting Cornell on the Charles
River on May 30. The slump of the crew
consisted Of a slight lack OF precision in
carrying through the stroke, which re-
suited in some unsteadiness I'm the boats
progress. Therefore, all OF last week
was devoted by the coach to giving great
er emphasis to a recovery OF form than to
speed The crew has pulled over the long
course. taking IL in short stretches, at a
low stroke, with occasional practice
starts, when faster time was held for
shorter distance.
There has been no change In the boat
since March "a when Sargent
turned to stroke; and the men, although
unusually heavy and powerful have
shown that they are capable of varying
the high stroke without much effort. Sew
eral times they have done as well as
forty-fve to the minute i'm sprints, and
this would appear to indicate an ability
to carry an even stroke say about thirty
seven, for a longer distance. The race
with Cornell will be over the two mile
course. and for this distance the Crimson
crew should be able to carry the boat
along at fine, easy speed, but with Court
ney's oarsmen 70 reckon on as oppo-
nents il is rather unsafe to predict a
victory for Harvard on the present form
OF the Johnnies' eight.
The freshman crew. while il has been
left a good deal 90 itself while Wray has
been working with the varsity men has
shown most encouraging progress al
though the men have been shifted about
several times within the past two weeks
This shift has not caused as much trou-
bic as might have been expected for it
has consisted simply OF changing the
men about in the boat. and no new men
have been substituted recently The
freshman stroke. Gutter, has developed
into an excellent leader with good
rhythm and time to his pun, and the
men have found him good leader
