SAY VETS CARRIED
ROANOKE BIZ FRAUD

Roanoke, Va, Oct. 1.-THE ex-
ecutive committee of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of Roanoke gave out
Yesterday a statement reviewing
the local option election of Septem-
Der 50, in which the "wets" were
victorious by 60 votes. The prln-
cipal points of the statement are:
1.-The majority of SO is no more
an honest expression of the will of
the people than the verdict of n
bribed jury.
"Weak knee dry men were So
licited to work for the vets under
promise OF big pay, and some Of
them accepted.
Poll taxes were paid by the
vets for many voters.
"The electoral board, consisting
of NJ. w. Turner, w. S. Battle, Jr.
and R. H. Angel, made charges in
the judges of election two nights
before the voting took place, put
ting in wet men in the place of
judges against whom no objection
had been raised, and that Mr.. An
CELL had named a Republican judge
who went out of the postoffiee un-
der a cloud.
"Those who fought for temper
ance will ever believe Mr.. Angel
guilty of gross infdelity, as he had
promised an hour before the meet
ing of the electoral board, of which
he is a member, that there should
be no change in the judges.
"Mr. Battle appointed E: A.
Wintermeyer, an alleged gambler,
and friend of Harry Meyers, who is
said to have openly boosted OF
elections that he has stolen.
There were gross violations OF
| law in Kimball ward.
"W. j. Camper, the election
| Judges, who was arrested, was al
| lowed to control the ballot box 80
feet away from the other judges
with three pillars between.
ut took four OR five hours to
effect Campers arrest.
Camper, after his arrest was al
lowed to re-enter the polling place,
handle the ballots, and assist in
the count.
"The clerks of Kimball ward
were allowed to count the ballots,
contrary to law.
"On the third count in Kimball
ward there we're nineteen more wet
ballots than on the first and second
count. Where did they come from?
"The Virginia Brewing Company,
which sent circular letter to vo-
tiers, declaring that if local option
were carried it would mean conhs-
cation of its property.
eff the present election bad been
set aside, some other trick or
scheme would have been hatched
up to defeat the 'drys' in another
election"
The statement has created great
excitemant in the city. Anti-sa-
loon League leaders declare that
there is not the slightest doubt
about their being able to substan-
tiate every charge made in the
above quoted statement.

To Acquire an Excess of Muscle May
Prove Injurious.

To Acquire an Excess of Muscle May
Prove Injurious.
Nothing could be more elusive than
che idea that by period of athletic
training a man can lay in stock OF
health and strength upon which Se can
draw later while engaged in seden-
tary occupation. The truth is that the
big muscles and hypertrophied heart
of the athlete are perilous possessions
for the man who no longer has the
time or the inclination for using them.
When he stops the exercises by which
he gained them, instead Of simply re-
turning to their original size they suf-
fer one or another Of the many forms
Of degeneration and become incapable
of performing their original services,
IT is not quite true that all exercise
for its own sake is harmless, for it is
well to be prepared for the meeting Of
life's little emergencies as we'll as Its
ordinary and daily demands, but II
probably Is true that, the emergencies
apart, every man does enough in going
about his customary business and
pleasure to keep himself In the condl-
ton which that business and pleasure
demand and that anything besides Is
supefauous or injurious. That athletics
take one into the open air is less a
commentator Of athletics than ap In.
dictment of our houses. offices and
stores for lack Of adequate ventilation.
If all the air we breathe was pure air
we could get along well enough with
ont any open air at all. Any man who
has the muscle he needs for doing the
things he wants 10 do and should do
has all the muscle he ought to have.
To acquire more is silly waste OF
time and perilous besdes.-New York
