Strict Enforcement Of the Law Gov
ernins Saloons Strongly Re.
commended by Speakers
at Convention.
ARE AGAINST THE DIVE
Low Dives Are Thought Responsible
For Much Of the Agitation
Against the Liquor
Business.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.,- June A.
Proper regulation of the liquor traffic
and strict enforcement of laws gov.
erning saloons was strongly recon-
mended by the speakers at yesterdays
session of the convention of the Unit
ed States Brewers association. Perry
Andrews, of the Ohio State Brewers
association, said the low dives were
largely responsible for the agitation
against the liquor business and he
urged the members of the association
to pledge themselves to assist the aus
thorities in wiping them out. William
Manchester, of the Michigan State
Brewers association, took the same
stand. The president of the associa-
tion, Carl J. Hoster, of Columbus, o.,
pledged himself to devote his efforts
as head of the organization, to obtain
ing proper regulation of saloons, en-
forcement of the laws and separation
of the liquor business from the Vices
which have crept into the dispensing
of beer
The association in secret session
adopted resolution to the effect that
brewers who ship beer from their own
state into other states and acquire
customers in other states should con.
form to the regulations and limita-
lions which have been adopted by 10
cal and state brewing organizations
1 into whose territory they ship, and
4 that they should assist local brewers
in their efforts to improve the saloon
! conditions. Shipping brewers snoulc
urge their local agents and bottlers te
cooperate with local brewers and 10
cal authorities in this respect.

burg folks say the weavers Of that
burg get half as high wages as the
weaver in the United States, but tie

ROOSEVELT NO
MIGHTY HUNTER
Captain Won Waldheim, Best Known
Hunter Of Germany, Thinks
But Lightly Of Teddy's
Prowess In Africa.
HUNTS WITH AN ARMY

There Being No Element OF
Danser--Teddy After
Monkeys.

BERLIN, June 4, Capt. Won Hold-
helm. the best known of the hunters
OF Germany, will leave for New York
IN August, to begin a lecture tour
OF several months. Waldheim contends
the big game hunting Of Africa has
degeneratcd into 'parlor game"
that Roosevelt may have killed all the
animals credited to him, but he has
done so under conditions that robbed
an expert of unusual danger, and. he
is not entitled to pose as a mighty
hunter" Waldheim will cad the
American tour just before Roosevelt
begins his European lectures. Wald-
helm said:

Not Danueroua.


Il have been all over the country
Roosevelt visited, and will visit, and
want to say the experiences are NOT
more exciting than going through q
geological garden, and while the anil
mails that abound in that country are
still classed with wild natural his
tories. but in reality they have become
almost domesticated within the last
ten years, and will not fight unless
forced to. Roosevelt, judged from the
pictures I've seen OF the expedition OF
going into the jungles, is like a gem
eral at the head of an army. This
way of hunting robs 1t Of all real
sport. The element of danger is elimi-
mated, and the animal must run a
gauntlet of half dozen hunters. Cli-
matte dangers are reduced to the mini
mum. Much territory traversed by
Roosevelt is actually known, as a
health resort, and have known a
number OF Europeans who have gone
there In search of health. The con-
veniences OF the country arc not
equal to Berlin, but there are many
German towns no better provided than
towns In which Roosevelt is making
! his headquarters.

What It Costs TO Raise Cotton

same oasis as a negro cook, is worth
So per week, or 1856 per annum, MAX
ing total OF $421 for the wages Of
the man and wife, or over fourteen
cents per pound for the cotton.
A one-horse farmer of this class
usually has about one child large
enough to help about the house and
some in the field, probably several
small ones not large enough to work
In this calculation the labor of the
children is thrown in for good meas
ure; also the capital invested in live
stock, tools, lands, wear and tear, etc.
In the light Of all these facts, and
they can be readily proven, it natural
ly makes a cotton farmer tired to,
hear anybody state that the cost of
cotton is eight cents per pound, be he
Governor or peasant
Whenever a Southern farmer sells
cotton for less than fifteen cents per
pound he is stinting the table around
which he gathers morning, noon and
night, and the clothes which his wife
and children should wear, and he is
stunting the brain Of the generations
who come after him.
1t is indeed unfortunate that a man
of Governor Smith s intelligence, edu-
cation and wealth, should purposely,
or maybe unwittingly, strike such
blow at his own Southern fellow coun-
trymen.
The best estimates--of the financial
experts Of New York show that since
the Presidential election the price of
stocks on the exchange, during bust
ness hours, have gone up one million
dollars per minute. During the same
time the price Of cotton has fuctuated
up and down some ten to twenty-five
points.
