LOCAL OPTION was defeated In the state
senate on Tuesday, when the bill favoring
such move received but six votes,
twenty-four being cast against it. The
advocates of the bill were not surprised
as they could not count upon more than
seven members to aid them, and one of
those was absent. Senator Gebhardt, the
Democratic member from Hunterdon.
spoke infavor of the bill, and challenged
any one to show one single instance where
the licensed sale of liquor had been bene-
ticial to any person or any community.
He held that the majority of crimes were
caused by drink and that divorces were
mainly brought about by intemperance
Senator Prince, Republican, of Passaic,
opposed the bill and took exceptions to
the statements of Senator Gebhardt. es-
pecially on the point of crime Senator
Prince said that, as a member of the
Dependency and Crimes Commission, he
had chance to examine into this condition
and he referred to many crimes. like
forgery, theft by bank officials and other
similar occurrences where drink could not
have had any part in the transactions. In
the latter part of his statement Senator
Prince is undoubtedly correct, but the
crimes to which he referred compose a small
portion of the cases which are constantly
before the courts. In addition it may be
recalled that the justices courts are full
of cases where drunkenness is the only
thing which brings the culprit before the
court, and no record of this goes on the
state or county books. But the senate did
not appear to be in the humor to pass the
bill and it was defeated. Senator Brad
ley, of Camden, voted for the bill on the
ground that he thought the people should
have chance to express an opinion on it.
There was more reason for this act to
have been pressed at the last than at the
present session. The question of local option
was prominent in the campaign of 1908
and those who aspired to positions on the
Assembly ticket then openly expressed
themselves favorably or otherwise. In
the last campaign it was not an issue. and
no pledges were required of those who
were on the ticket. Local option may be
certainty, perhaps not far off, but so far
as this county is concerned it has been
shown that there are good laws on the
liquor question and that they can and
must be obeyed. Recent events have had
mere effect than chapters of legislation.

WOULD REMOVE CAICHtRS
and LEAVE THE PITCHERS

Connie Mack figures things from an
entirely different angle than do most
baseball men, and his latest Is that
the catcher is often responsible for a
pitcher being hit when the fans blame
the twirler.
You have heard them yen Take
him out; take him out, when a pitch
or is going bad, but did il ever occur
to them that there might be something
wrong with the other end OF the bat

well, it is true" he continued. Il
was catcher myself and l know.
"Now you will often see pitcher
being hit freely; it may be the pitch
er's fault and again II may not.
Chances are about thirty-fiv out Of
every 100 that it isn't the fault of the
pitcher.
"The catcher gives the signals and
il often happens that the catcher
fails to guess the batter. a catcher
is supposed to know the weak points
of a batsman and asks for balls that
he may fall down on
"This catcher may go along for
several innings and guess the batters
right and then he may start guessing
them wrong. He may ask for ball
after BAH that the batter expects and
hits. 1t is the catcher who should be
jerl<ed out and not the pitcher.
II have caught games myself in
