the lobbyist and the sparkle of the
wine cause the legislator to forget
his plighted faith to his constitu-
ents. Strong drink peoples our jails,
poor houses, asylums and peniten-
tiaries. 1t makes of middle age tot
tering senility. II forces the inmates
of comfortable homes into miserable
tenements and makes street beggars
of the women and children or worse
drives them to a life of shame. 1t
obliterates the sparkle of human
eye, robs the human limbs of their
elacticity. deprives the human body
OF its symmetry, and converts the NOR
al image of God into degradation
of swineishness. While cholera, yell
low fever and the Bubonic plague
claim their thousands of victims the
demon drink numbers its victims by
tens of thousands. When the smoke
OF the forge has ceased at eventide,
when the merchant has closed his
counting house, when the husband
man has plodded his weary way to
his home, when the laughter of mer-
ry childhood is hushed, when all ma
ture, but the hooting owl and prowl-
ing wolf go forth in search of prey,

whining idiots. Trusting wives spend
sleepless nights because of the un-
accountable absence of recreant hus-
bands. Obscene songs, reflections
on the purity and honor of the hui

lowest lustful desires, the rattle OF
dice and the throw of cards lure men
to destruction. A man who would
stand up In the presence of re-

saloon would not merit the compan-
ionship of dog.
There are two theories extant as
to the better plan for restraining
the use of strong drink. One is
that every individual is a responsible
being and as such must reap the
consequences of the deeds done IN
the body. This school teaches that
it is the duty of the strong by pre-
cent and example to lead the weak
err brother into ways of pleasantness.
The other school teaches that some
men not responsible beings are inca

be led into the paths of rectitude

FROM THE FIELD.
AAANAAAA~AAI

1t had been my purpose to remain
a silent spectator while the Pc triotic
men and women of Texas decide the
question, shall we punish the man
who provides such food and drink
as a citizen may desire or shall we
permit him to indulge his tastes
without rendering himself particeps
criminis to an ATTRACTION of the law"
1t is with much reluctance that |
now assume the responsibility incl
dent to a discussion 50 sure to fos-
ter acrimonious and Incorporate ex-
pressions. | am only prompted by
the law of self preservation to re-
wise my previous determination. The
time may come when | would be am

should now remain silent you would
to a man rise up and call me coward.
The nefarious business of the sa-
loonist has assumed such colossal
proportions and grown to be such
factor in the politics of Texas that
we are now enduring the humiliation
of the administration of governor
who but for the almost unanimous
support of the brewery and whisky
interests and their clientage would
have been fixing freight rates. I'm

way connected with the liquor traf-
fic who voted for him and many of
them as good men as the land pos

said trusts could have elected their

patriotism of our citizenship when
one business interest owns our chief
executive though that interest be
ever so reputable. The saloon is
the trysting place of thugs, black
guards, thieves and burglars. With

men let in at their mouths to steal
away their brains. The fiery liquor
there dispensed heats the passions
of men and drives them to the ta
king of human life. Emboldened by
it's nerve tingling influence the lib
ertine lures his victim on to the
destruction of honor and drives her
without the pale of responsibility.

BY WILLIAM PEET.

If Jim McAleers influence counts for
anything with the stockholders of the
Washington Baseball Club, George Nc
Bride will be the next manager of the
team. In fact. it would not be at all
surprising If Mcbride is chosen before
the present season draws to a close.
This. of course, is contingent on Nc
Alecrs obtaining control of the stock
of the Boston American League club,
and 1t is Il safe bet that such will be
the case before many days have elapsed.
Some time ago McAleer learned that
Owner John l. Taylor. of the Boston
Red SOX, was about ready to quit base
ball. and the local manager jumped to
ROstOn for a conference. Nothing of Il
definite nature was given out at that
time; in fact. it was denied that Nc
Alcer had even talked Of such matters.
II has since leaked out that Taylor and
MCAlCer held a long conference, and that
the former wanted TO take the offer
made by the local boss under considera-
ton.
Several DAYS ago Taylor teIegraphed
MCAle"r that ne was ready to talk busi-
ness. and a conference has been arranged
for tomorrow in Boston. MCAleer left
Monday night for Youngstown, Ohio,
probably with the intention or arranging
matters with his bankers SO that there
would he no hitch financially when the
final transfer Of the Boston stock was
brought about.
President Ban y. Johnson. of the Ameri-
can League will also he present at the
meeting in Boston tomorrow, as no i'm
portant step is made without Johnson's
knowledge, consent. and advice.
II was also learned last night that sew
cral of McAle"r's wealthy friends had
agreed to see that he got all the backing

urged that of late the amateur side of
automobile sporting events has been
crowded into the background owing to
the fact that all cars and drivers par
tiCipating in a reliability event must be
registered. 1t is understood that to date
the number Of entrants in the Glidden
tour has passed the sixty mark and
many of those who desired to participate
have nominated cars which are unreg-
istcred. and which the manufacturers
refuse to register. Many drivers. it Is
contended. do not care to go through
the fOrmaItv of registering simply to
participate in a contest in which there
are to be but time penalties.
The Glidden, it will be remembered.
was originally scheduled to start from
this city last spring. byt had to be
postponed owing to lack o. entries, and
the refusal Of some manufacturers to
register their cars with the contest
board 1t has been learned that it is
difficult proposition to compel a manu-
facturer to pay a ktGcCe registration fee
for each model car - he desires to
enter in. perhaps. but one event in a
season.

IF MCAleer Goes TO Boston

ton Tomorrow, When 1t Is Expected Red Sox Club
Ownership Will Change Hands,

that in the event OF McAleer's obtaining
control of the Boston club the local Of
hcials would release him from all ObIiga-
tiOns on that score
Manager Patsy Donovan, here with the
Red Sox, was interviewed last night. and
while he said he had heard nothing Of
the matter from Owner Taylor, he be-
lleved that the report was true
Tim II. Murnane, president of the New
England League, and baseball writer OF
the Boston Globe. John l. Taylor's
paper. who is also here with the Red SOx,
stated that he knew for some time Nc
Aleer was after the Boston club, and be-
lieved he would get IT. Mr.. Murnane IS
on the inside and is John I. TayIors right
hand man.
a number of reports from Boston last
night stated that McAIeer would buy only
a third interest in the Boston club. but
those who are in n position to know
say differently. It is claimed that If tho
deal goes through McAleer will own the
controlling interest of the stock.
Mcbride for Manager.
Now for the Washington club Tho
1911 season will be over in three weeks.
McAleer has already planned for his all
star cast and trip. He will return to the
Capital Friday and resume his duties.
In the meanwhile, George Mcbride is act
ing manager. and when MCAleer leaves
he will indOrse the shortstOp as his sue
ceSSOr.
The writer believes that Mcbride would
be acceptable to all the fans. and that
the club would make no mistake in as
signing George to take up the mana
gerial reins Good managers are hard to
find. Mcbride knows local conditions;
is brainy ball player himself and en-
joys the respect and good will of every
player on the clubs payroll
The selection of manager, of course,
is up to the club directors. but they are
sure to he influenced in favor of any
man MCAlePr recommends. so IL looks
very much like George Mcbride at the
helm for 1872
