subject Federal Favoritism to tbs
Liquor Traffic" Referring to alleged
favoritism shown the LIQUOR interests
by Congress, the speaker said that few
realized its effect in the fight being
waged against the saloon. saying that
while the people of the country were
fighting TO make parts Of its territory
dry" the liquor interests had been
busily engaged In fortlfying themselves
at Washington, having so thoroughly
established themselves there that in
the event of the whole fOrty-six States
of the Union going dry they could foo1
the nation with liquor from the Dis
trict of Columbia.
He stated that the present fiscal
policy of government was wrong. that
according to it the citizen who spent
his all for whiskey was the best citizen,
as he paid the most into the United
States treasury in the way of internal
revenue, owing to the I ederal tax of
81 a barrel on beer and A10 gallon
on whiskey. The income from this
source amounted to S215,0000O0 annu-
ally. making the government a partner
in the saloon business, and explaining
why it was impossible to get any anti>
saloon legislation considered or passed
by Congress.

CONFER ABOUT THE
Y.M.C.A.CONTRACT
Board Of Trade Committee
Will Meet Association
Directors To-day

A special committee Of the Board Of
Trade. of which r. ]. Maclean is chair
man. will meet tha directors Of the
Young eMn's Christian Association this
afternoon to discuss the report that the
association direct0rs have barred VIII
mington business men from bidding on
the contract for interior furnishings
for the association home. What tie
outcome of the conference will be could
not be predicted this morning.
The rumor that has agitated the
Board of'Trade is to the effect that the
association has invited three Philadel-
phla firms to submit bids for furnish
ing the association home. That Will
mington business men were not invited
to bid on the contract after the people
of the city had contributed the 100000
required to construct the building, is
regarded by xhe Board of Trade as
grossly unfair to the citv's business in
terests. and effort will he made at thu
conference this afternoon to have VIII
mington business man submit bids for
the work.
One of the directors said this morn
ing that Wilmington merchants he'd
not been asked fer bids on the furnish
ings because they would have to sub.
let the various contracts to outside
houses to the disadvantage of the as
ISOLATION; whereas anv of the Phila-
delphia houses that have been asked
to bid can supply the furniture. gym.
nasium apparatus and lockers, ETC.. at
a much lower cost than any Whining
ton house. 1t was said that the as
sociation directors had fully considered
the matter before asking only Philadcl-
phia firms to bid on the contract, and
that 1t is unlikely that the directors
will change their plans at this time
