MAYOR ADDRESSES THE FANS
Says Success of Baseball Team Rests
With the People.

Mayor Meyer delivered this address
to the fans at the fair grounds Sat
urday afternoon, prior to the beginning
of the game:
Ladies' and Gentlemen: Words fail
to express the pleasure which | feel
at being called upon to open the base
ball season of 1910 for Mankato. Base
ball, ladies and gentlemen, as we know
it today is purely an American game.
The people of the last century little
realized that the game of baseball as
they played it, would one day become
known as the national game of Amer
lea. Every nation has its national
game, but nowhere under Gods blue
canopy do the people love their game
as we do our baseball.
Owing to the management of last
year. Mankato for the first time placed
herself among the leaders of our
state in baseball. and | am sure we
are all proud of that same fact, and
again this year we have secured a
position that demands recognition
throughout the state.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, the sue
cess OF onr boys This year depends
entirely upon ourselves. II we wish

that he was there, and all were smok
ing cigarettes and the air was thicl
with smoke. He did not want thi
kind of a substitute for the saloons
Pool playing leads to gambling ant
forgery.
Mr. Summers was in favor of abol
ishing the saloons entirely, ant
thought that Yankee ingenuity would
furnish substitute. If man wante,
to drink he could manufacture tn,
liquor himself. The way to get rio
of the drink evil was to do the way
the railroads do, which is not TO hire
men who drink. Parents were t.
blame for children going down towr
nights. The system of paying il
checks Saturday after banking hour:
was also bad, as the only place to gel
them cashed was in saloons.
Rev. Donald Mckenzie said That the
saloon was not the place for the la
boring man, for the latter did moi
have IA bigger enemy than the saloon
He did not take much stock in til,
talk of substitutes for saloons. TIE
red light districts of cities had beer
abolished, and if this could be done
how much less need there was for the
saloons, for the drinking habit is al
acquired and not natural desire
Where saloons cannot be eliminated
they ought to be regulated. He asked
whether any one knew of saloon in
Mankato living within the limits of
the law. The saloons were the greatest
law breakers, and are aided and abet-
ted by the brewers. The only solu-
ton for the saloon is no saloon. and
it is going as surely as the sun shall
rise tomorrow morning. The brew
ers have circulated reports of threats
to boycott on the part of the farm
ers. to brighten business men away
from county option. The speaker criti-
cised Professor Posey's ideas.
"Must Be Some Good in Saloon"
Professor Posey retorted that he be-
lieved that there must be some good
in saloons or they would not he SO
hard to do away with. If young peo-
pie were kept from seeing all evil
they were not properly prepared to
fight it. He would let them see for
themselves and thus become inoculated
against evil. IN the south young la
dies cannot 90 out without ehaperons,
but Opponents there from a normal
school the size of the Mankato one
are more frequent than from this one
Colleges sometimes have billiard and
pool rooms, card rooms, etc., and they
do no harm. Investigation in cities
had shown that strangers often could
get more and better things to eat
i'm saloon lunch than in restaurant
for less money.
Theodore Williams thought that the
character of a pool room depended
upon the character of the man run
ming it. Harmless amusements ougat
to be had at home and at church
to hold the young people. Parents
often do not take as good care OF
their children as they ought to.
Hit the Silk-Stocking Class.
Mr. Gcddes said that it was not the
laboring classes that support the sa'
looms. Saloons were needed for so
ciabiIity, etc. Those evils that lead
to the objection to saloons are not
the work of laboring men but of men
wearing silk stockings and diamonds
