The Desperate Brewers.

The brewers organization has I'M
dertaken to create d public sentiment
favora BILE to it's business. Such task
will cost that organization vast sum
of money and there is nothing in the
history of the American people which
gives the project reasonable pros
pect of success In spite of the gloomy
outlook however, the brewers have d
publicity campaign in full swing which
is doing highly crcditabe work for
its employers.
During the past year or two every
newspaper in this country has been
bombarded with tracts, news" stories
and editorial suggestions" pamphlets
and bound volumes and invited to help
destroy the established temper
ance sentiment which pervadcs the
land. Few people have any idea of the
persistency and skill with which this
work is prosecuted. Probably no
other single manufacturers orgauiaa
ton ever entered into such a campaign
SO thoroughly. If there is man
woman or child in these United States
who has not read some of the matter
sent out BY this organization it is be-
cause he or she does not read the

The arguments presented are easily
rctuted by any thinking man and
would do no harm if the people would
but think a moment concerning them.
but the general public is prone to ac-
cept what they see in print at its face
value and do not criticize it unless
they are directly Interested
one of the stock arguments against
prohibition is that it breeds and fos-
tiers hypocrisy. No one claims tor Il
moment that a bar room is respectable,
then wherein lies the hypocrisy OF de-
Claring it an outlaw? Is it not greater
hypocrisy To give it a place beside the
grocery dealer and the dry goods mer-
chant and pretend that it is respect
able?
At the convention which was held
in Washington this week Percy An
dreae of Cincinnati said that he dis
carded every argument against pro-
hibit:on and confined himself to two
general facts, The report of the anti
saloon league that in the last Is
years 100000 of the population of the
United States had been placed under
prohibition of one form and another:
and report of the United States rev.
enue authorities that in the same peri
cd the per capita consumption of whis-
key in the United States had increased
over so per cent. and the per capita
consumption of beer over As per cent.
Such being the case, prohibition must
be the greatest friend the brewer and
distiller has. By what process of
reasoning. therefore. do they array
themselves against it? 1t is all tom
myrot. The fact of the matter is that
prohibition has driven the brewers and
dissillers to the last ditch. They are

IN SUPPORT OF BEvERIDGE
Former President Roosevelt to Speak
In Indiana.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July S.-Albert
J. Beveridge. United States senator
from Indiana and one Of the most
prominent and consistent of the pro
gressive" Republicans, came down
from Sycamore Hill with a promise.
from Theodore Roosevelt to deliver a
campaign speech in his fight for re-
election to the senate. Mr.. Beveridge
departed content and smiling, but he
left it for the colonel to make an
nouncement of the proposed campaign
speech in the senator's behalf. And
this is what Mr.. Roosevelt said:
"Mr. Foulke and Mr.. Swift came to
Sycamore Hill and spent the night
here. They came to request me to
go to Indiana and speak In behalf Of
Senator Beverage. / promised them
that would"
He added that he had agreed to
make only one speech for the senator
and as far as Is now known he will
make only one. The time and place
for this speech have not been fixed.

Collector Of Port Of New York
COnterS With Taft.
PREFERS HIS PRESENT PLACE,
Former Secretary to President Roose-
Welt Not Anxious to Enter Race
for the Governorshlp.

Beverly, Mass, July 12.-William
Loeb, Jr., collector Of the port Of New
York, frankly told President Taft that
he would rather remain at his post In
the customs service than to run for
governor of New York this fall. The
president as frankly told Mr.. Loeb
that the Republican nomination
seemed to be coming his way, and that
1t would take more than fishing trip
to the Rocky mountains to stop it.
The former secretary to President
Roosevelt left for New York, leaving
the impression here that II it became
absolutely necessary for him to take
the Republican nomination he would
do SO and would make 1t whirlwind
campaign.
The mention Of the New York situa.
ton was incidental to talk on general
politics between the president and Mr..
Loeb. They were together in the
morning before the president went to
the Myopia links for . game Of golf
with Henry c. Frick. who lives near
here. and they lunched together at
John Hays Hammond's cottage in
Gloucester. After the luncheon the
talk was continued. Mr.. Taft was
anxious to hear something Of the sit
uation as viewed by some one outside
of the immediate administration cir
Gle.
Favors loeb's Nomination.
Mr.. Taft is not interfering In the
New York situation in any way. He
and Mr.. Loeb are the closest OF
friends, and whenever Mr.. Loeb's
name has been mentioned to the presi-
dent in connection with the New York
governorship he always has enthu-
siastieally approved the suggestion.
Mr.. Loeb has known this for some
time. He has known that. a. Tar as
he could legitimately do 20. the presi-
dent would bring all Of his influence
to his support in anything he might,
undertake.
The collector discussed New York.
state politics with the president from.
various angles. Mr.. Loeb made mo-
attempt to conceal the more serious,
aspects of tho situation from the Re-
publican point Of view. He expressed
again the belief. however, that the
Republicans would get together and,
that the splits In their party would
be Offset by divisions in the Demo
cratic ranks.
Aside from the New York situation
the tariff came In for share Of con-
sideration at the conference. Both
the president and Mr.. Loeb believe
that the tariff commission and the big
appropriation for its work have won
derfully strengthened the hands of
the Republicans and offer common
ground on which the factions Of the
party can meet.
