APPLAUSE GREETS
POHLIG'S EFFORTS
Concert of Symphony Or
cheStra Concludes
Winter Series.
By ROBERTA V. BRADSHAW.

The Philadelphia Orchestra. az the
concert given yesterday afternoon at the
New National Theater, brought 20
satisfactory conclusion a successful
series Of five concerts arranged for the
winter season.
The program. comprising as a prime
attrs ction Cesar Francks seldom
heard Symphony i'm d minor. Included.
also, the characteristicaly Wagnerian
overture to the Flying Dutchman' and
the jolly and debOnair Carnival in
Paris by Svendsen. While the several
numbers were satisfactory TO the audi
ence, little enthusiasm was manifested
until Conductor Pohlig paused
minute, after giving the first scene OF
the much talked of American suite Of
his own composition. Very evidently
the work struck home. for quite an Ova-
tion awaited the composer and mU-
sicians after the completion Of each
several section Of the suite. Indeed, so
thoroughly pleased was the house that

Frankly Melodious.
The American suite is described on the
program as frankly melodious." Il is
all that and more, too.
u the main it is frankly rolHcking
and jolly and gay. Very evidently the
Americans have struck Mr.. POhlig as a
people who take their pleasure laugh
ingly. possibly a bit hoydenishly. In
the street scene there is more than a
suggestion OF Jolly good times" with
possibly a "rckier" or two and a
slnginE dash OF confetti TO help along.
The Opening strains strongly suggest
the Harselaise, though that heroic
melody is properly restrained I'm defer

American who fights because he must,
rather than because he loves the fray.
In the section generally described under
the tentative heading, Sunday morn

rather daring use Of the organ and
the church bell. though so skillfulIy has
he manipulated his material that while
ne gives Atmosphere he escapes ban

concerns, and, as others declare, actually
increases the consumption of their
liquors, is it not marvellous that these
brewers and distillers fight prohibitory
laws with all the means aud power that
they can bring to bear? If prohibition
does not prohibit" at least to an ap-
preclable extent, or does not materially
decrease the demand for their LIQUORS.
then these brewers and dis;iIlers GER
tainly are +, dish to waste their time

II is against reason to suppose that these

their money and working with might
aud main to defeat the enactment, or to
compass the repeal, of prohibitory laws
That either do not affect their business
at all or, ns some say, actually increase
the demand for their "wet goods"
Such supposition is absurd, and the
conclusion is forced upon any unbiased
mind that prohibition does greatly de-
crease the consumption of Intoxicating
liquors, anl promotes sobriety in any
county, state or nation that adopts it by
vote Of a majority of its qualified cleo,

The Expense Of q Wife.

A wife is a DECIDED addition to the
demands upon ones purse. In that

everything worth hsying has its price

some things which cost much without

making some self denial when they

You oftimes hear men say they would
favor prohibition, but that it Injuries
business. If this is a fact, we woald
like for you to tell Us why Key West, a
city of 10000 inhabitants with saloons.
has only two banks, while Gainesville
with no saloons and only 5000 lnhsbi.
tants has five banks Then, again, why
Is itthst Tampa, city of nearly 60, 600
inhabitants with saloons and located in
the garden spot of Florida, has deposited
in her banks only 100000 while
Portland, Maine, city that has had no
saloons for the last twenty years and To-
Gated in the poorest state in the union,
with population of nearly 10000, has
deposited in her banks $I7, OOO, 900?
Then, why was it that we had only
one bank in Bradford county when we
were wet" and practically as many in
habitants then as now, and that we now
have four banks and the fifth being
organized? Are not banks an indica-
ton Of prosperity?
The state as whole Is body polite,
and if you iDjure either member of that
body You injure the whole, but still We
will contend that we can take the Young
manhood of this state and make drunk
ards OF them and debase and ruin them
and that in SO doing we add to our pros
perity as q whole. Does not prosperity
go hand in hand with morality and in
telligence?
Have you ever noticed an advertise
ment by saloon for a clerk who was
addicted to drink? No, and you never
will, but no doubt you have noticed such
advertisements by them for sober clerks.
They readily realize the difference be-
tween the abilities of sober man and a
drinking man. In fact, about all the
man that can meet with any success in
the saloon business is the man who is a
total sbstainer.
The. Alabama letters, which are adj
vertising matter paid for by the saloon
element OF the state, are practically
making the assertion that saloonism and
democracy are Synonymous terms and
that the voting out Of the saloons means
the destruction Of democracy. We
want to say to you that the voting out
OF the saloon is the purifying Of democ-
racy. What is the difference between
the democratic and republican parties
since the democrats have petitioned and
voted for high protective tariff on cot
ton, lumber, etc.? Is not the chief bone
OF contention in the south the negro
question? Then, is it not the saloon
forces that are qualifying the negro 90
and restoring them to their franchise
privilege and not the temperance forces?
In doing so the saloon element have TO |
that extent Joined with the republicans. |
The truth Of the matter is, this is a gen
oral election in which the republicans
and democrats join and say by their
votes what the constitution of the state
shall stand for, whether for q
pure government or for q corrupt and
1ebssed government, and it is not a
question Of partyism, and we do not 90
contend by this letter, only we wanted
10 show the fallAcy Of this advertising
matter Of the saloons in their contention

DIXIE.

Hepburn, Of Idaho, is an ass, senator
though he be. He has exhibited himself
in that capacity so frequently that the
correctness of the assertion is known of
all men. The other day at Seattle,
Wash, at q reception gwen local con-
gresham, Heyburn was a guest. The
orchestra furnishing the music rendered
that pretty and popular medley embrac-
ing the Stsr-Spangled Banner, Yankee
Doodle, Columbia and Dixie, with other
merry quips and stirring marches.
When the few bars of Dixie were reached
Senator Heyburn angrlly undertook to
silence the music. But it was all in
vain. The musicians went sturdily on
and finished the program, while the
crowd Kissed Hepburn.
A Times wauderer spent some time at
Seattle last year, loafng about for pur.
poses of observation mostly, and he
found Dixie to be Q fsvorite air. No
concert was complete without it or a
medley including its choicest strain Of
melody. Everybody, and there were
people from every state, liked it and
cheered it. This on its merits, without
regard to the Land Of its origin or that It
had stirred the souls and hmbered the
legs of the tatterdemAlions that follow
ed the stars and bars fifty years ago.
The northern audience spplauds Dixie
partially as Q token of reconciliation
with the south, as renewal Of the COM

accepted defeat manfulIy and unwaver-
lngly came back to national allegiance.

Court says:
1.-The extent and limits of what is
known as the police power have been a
fruitful subject of discussion in the ap-
pollate courts of nearly every state in
the union. 1t is universally conceded to
include everything essential to the pub
lie safety, health and morals, and to
Justify the destruction or abatement, by
summary proceedings, of whatever may
be regarded as public nuisance. I'm
der this power it has been held-that the
state may order the destruction of
house falling to decay or otherwise en-
dangering the lives of pssser5by; the
demolition of such as are in the path of
confiagration; the slaughter of dis
eased cattle; the destruction of decayed
or unwholesome food; the prohibition
of wooden buildings in cities; the regu-
public COM eyance, and of interments i'll

tionable trades to certain locations; the
compulsory vaccination of children; the
confinement of the insane or those af-
fiicted with contagious diseases; the re-
straint of Migrants, beggars and habituaI
drunkards; the suppression of obscene
publications and houses of il-fsme; the
prohibition of gambling houses and

1t is to regain this right that the peo-
