"A degeneracy appalling in magnitude that it

public, says DR.. MacNcholl. If such a calamity
were to come upon the nation suddenly, the people
would rise ell masse to avert it. But because the
scourge of alcohol comes stealthiy, like thief in the
night, and its ravage is so gradual as to be almost
imperceptble except to the keen observer, there is
great public uprising and there is appalling in
difference. For this reason the assault of alcohol
upon the nation is much more dangerous and much
difficult to meet.

adopted by the Democrats plus the votes
OF six Republican Bristow.
Clapp, Crawford, Gronna, La Toilette,
and Works. But Senators Borah, Bourne
and Nelson voted against it, Still more
significant was the fact that Senator
Cummins of Iowa, who has been leader
in the fight for wool tariff revision, and
who supported the conference report a
year ago, said he could not support ii
this time, because the tariff board re-
port showed that 20 per cent. duty on
raw wool was too low and could not be
justified. Senator Cummins was paired
and did not actually vote, but he said
that if he were free to vote he would
vote against the measure.
Senator Nelson. who was an insurgent |
on the tariff in the Payne Aldrich fight,
also held that the duties in the confer
ence report were too low and that the |
I'D valorem system was not justified.
That the change of attitude OF Sena
tor Cummins will be seized on by the I

Bratleboro club in the Twin State league
few weeks ago. has been appointed
manager of the club to succeed William
Hazelton who, it is said. is to enter
business at Burlington. One of the Brat
tleboro papers says that Hazelton's
resignation was not wholly unexpected.
Bud" Hoban, who has played in the
field at Dartmouth college for the past
two years, has been released from the
Brattleboro team. with which club he
has been affiliated for the past few
weeks. Hoban, il is said. covered his
position in the outfeld we'll, but was
rather weak with the willow.
1t is expected that Michael O'Toole,
brother OF the famous Marty O'Toole. is
TO soon join the Brattleboro club.
0'Toole started in the New England
league this spring, but of late has been
pitching for the Troy club in the New
York state league.

Chalmers, who did such good work
last year in the pitching role, has BEEN
suspended by manager Dooing until he
can get into good twirling form. All

use to the team and this step was
deemed advisable
Hans Wagner openly denies that he is
to be manager of the Pittsburg Nation
next year. He says that he wouldn't
take the job for 100000. He says that
he doesn't need the money and also
that he IS not looking for trouble.
