Special DSpatch 10 Inc star.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, October To-
President Taft will not be allowed to
dodge that barrel of sauerkraut which he
won at the rattle contest held by the
Youngstown Lodge of Elks several weeks
ago. The fair held by the Elks was a
big success, even though the President
did not attend However. he sent there
and asked that one of the numbers in
each of the raff1es be laid away for him
and that the prices thereof be sent him,
and he would forward his check.
The rattle was pulled off on the square,
say the officials. other people getting
even more valuable prizes than the Presi-
dent. His was a barrel Of sauerkraut.
The thirty-two gallons have been pre-
pared for him by J. w. Mullins, and the
barrel was today consigned to the freight
house and marked William Howard

Middies May Row at Poughkeepsie.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. October 16.-There
Is an excellent prospect that the Naval
Academy will be represented by an eight
at the Poughkeepsie regatta this year.
and the matter is now being considered
by Capt. j. NJ. Bowyer, superintendent of
the Naval Academy. 1t Is believed that he
is much more favorably disposed toward
the proposition than was his predecessor.
Capt. Charles J. Badger.
The midshipmen rowed at Poughkeepsie
in 1907, and were beaten only by Cor
nell and Columbia. The race takes place
during the time the brigade of midship-
men is on the summer practice feet near
New London. Conn.,, and 1t is proposed
that the crew men be assigned to mont
tor. which will be used as training quar-
tiers on the Hudson.

MANCHESTER CLOTH.

MANCHESTER. England. October 49,
In the cloth market during the week
manufacturers found it exceedingly diff
cult to conclude their contracts to any
extent, and they necessarily advanced
quotations against the rise in cotton.
But buyers did not operate, and only
small orders are reported for South
America and the Mediterranean. and a
few special shortings for India at the
late rates. Yarns, which were equally
unsaleable, advanced 3-16. in sympathy
with cotton and curtailed the production
of American stocks. Spinners adopted
q firm attitude. Egyptians, however,
sold more freely.

TOO STRONG FOR RUSSIA.
Censor SURPRISES Reports Of Lloyd
Georges Speech.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, October 16.-The
censor has taken an unusual step in sup
pressing the telegraphic reports of the
speech made at New Castle. England, by
Mr.. Lloyd-George, British chancellor of
the exchequer. on the ground that its SEN
timents were subversive of existing insti-
tutions.
Speeches made in the British budget
campaign were previously reported tele
graphically at fair length in view Of the
interest in the movement to introduce
British capital into Russia. but Lloyd
Georges declaration that 1t was time the
laboring masses shook OF the tyranny of
dukes and ground landlords sounded too
much like the Russian Revolutionary prop
uganda of three years ago to suit the
censor.

SUPREME COURT DECLARES ALL NEAR

SUPREME COURT DECLARES ALL NEAR
BEERS ILLEGAL.
jackson. Miss. June 14-The Su-
preine Court of Mississippi this after
noon rendered n decision which bars
absolutely the sale of any of the sew
eral kinds of beverages enumerated in
the State prohibition law against
the sale of liquors. regardless of the
question as TO whether such liquors
may or may not produce intoxica-
ton when drunk to excess
The decision is emphatic. full and
fiat. and holds it unlawful to sell or
offer for sale any vinous. spirituous
malt or alcoholic liquors.. or other
beverages. which will produce intox-
ication when drunk to excess. The
decision comes upon the appeal of
the case of Harry Edwards against
the city of Gulfport. Edwards having
been convicted Of selling beverage
which admittedly contained alcohol
and which was malt" but which
he commended would not produce
intoxicatiOn in excessive quantities.
The case is of widespread interest
throughout Mississippi, as there are
thousands of dealers engaged in sell
ing beverages of this kind. put on
the market since the anti-liquor law
went into effect last January. The
most dangerous feature of the bnsi-
hess. ard the one which influenced
the decision OF the court. is that il
affords a convenient cloak for eyad-
ing the law against the sale of in
toxicants.

Louisiana will be the Last DRY

IFrom n o. Pieayune. June 22dl
Louisiana will be the last State
in the South to join the prohibition
column, but by Jan. 1. 1913, New
Orleans and the whole State will be
dry"
This WAS the prophecy made by
DR.. W. X. Lambert, State superin-
tendent of the Antisaloon League, in
the pulpit of the First Baptist Church.
Yesterday forenoon, and the deter
mined enemy of strong drink had
other things to say, too. He told of
the progress of the work throughout
the country, and stated some of the
needs of the campaiyners in this
State.
Dr. Lambert has been in Louisiana
for some months, and while he is not
as picturesque and sensational as
his predecessor, DIR. Smith. whose
Stfou- poiht Ndc III iohctiur- thC hui
man and arraigning the powers that
he, he is nevertheless of the distinct
ly vigilant type, and is Flooding
along industriously seeking to un-
dermine the defenses of the liquor
dealers and prove them To the world
as being the one great class of unde-
sirable citizens.
DR.. Lambert is young man.. and
in appearance does not impress one
as being of the rabid, or radical type
of reformer. He speaks with clear
ness and much force, aud although
he puts before his auditors statistics
and figuers, he never gets much be-
yond conservative bounds in express
ing bis opinion of the saloon men.
In fact, as DIR. Lambert himself
puts it, it is no longer needful to say
unkind things, as the people have
found drink sellers out, and are raj
lying round the banner of the pro-
hibition cause. to insure their speedy
exit from the world of barter and ex-
change.
DIR. Lambert summed up the results
of the work in the South, Georgia,
Ala bama, Mississippi, Tennessee gone
dry, and other States about to fall
in with them. Not only has the
movement prospered in the South.
but in Ohio, the home of the Anti
Saloon League, there are fifty-seven
dry counties, and in Indiana nearly
the centre State has localoption. DIR.
Lambert contended that the reform
wac not going backward as some
claim il is. and he held that history
does not show that any reform ever
goes backward. Reform moves slow
ly. but in the matter of the Anti-Sa-
loon League in the South it is going
at rapid rate, and there are not
enough men for the work.

Uncle George on Base Ball.

CoifaX. La, j une Il, 1Ju3.
Editor Colfix Chronicle:
notice the Il. Y. p. L. of Colfay
and the Baptist Sunday school are
coming hravely to the help OF the
Lord against the mighty influence
which Satan seems to WELD over the
boys and young men, and also n
good many of the girls, on the Sun
day base ball playing.
| rejoice to learn that | am not
alone in my denuncia: ton of this vile
Dissertation of the Lords day, but
what's the matter with the NJ. +. l..
and also the Sunday school? If |
am rightly informed the Epworth
League is almost a counterpart of
the b. Y. p. U. and both should lay
hold of this work together and not
let up till they bring things to pass.
/ thank God for the good lad, in
augurnting this work and | believe
there are Others in your town who
will help. suggest that you APP
point committee from each of the
young peoples organizations and
from each OF the Sunday schools and
send them to the police jury and be-
siege that honorable body for the
passage of law that will absolutely
stop Sunday ball playing in the par
ish. Where are the parents of the
Sunday school children? Can't the
people enga ged in this work depend
on the Baptist and Methodist pa
rents to help stop desecration of the
Sabbath? l think they may, and as
l have said before | will vouch for
our representative from ward two,
to put in his best ticks to help the
good sisters and the little girls.
/ attended church at Bethel last
Sunday, and it makes me sad to an
nounce that failed to see boy be-
tween 10 and Is years old. Where
do you suppose those boys were?
Playing base ball, no doubt. heard
of one crowd who put in their time
at il, and presume the Others were
in some other old field whooping and
yelling like wild Indians are said to
do. There was fair congregation
of young people, perhaps 20 or more,
but l think there was only about
half a dozen mothers or grand
mothers, hardly any fathers, and no
grandfathers at all. Could it be pos
sible that all the heads of families in
reach of Bethel church were of play
ing base ball, or looking at the boys
play? Grant parish is evidently
making progress in literary educa-
ton, but where are her morals going
to? Boys and men may say it is
none of my business if they want to
play ball on Sunday. claim it is
our duty To help brother to a bet
ter life, if he will allow it, and if we
fail to warn and reprove in love We
fail in our duty, and the blood ofour
brother is required at our hands.
Hoping this will find a place in
your columns aud Wishing success to
every one who is battling for the
right, am Que of them.
