Sew sraI players there were recommended to McGraw, but KinseIla turned them all down. He then went to St. Louis 10 enjoy cool weather, the temperature being only 95 or so in the Mound City.
 KiiseIIa ayers that McGraw has a great pitcher in Rube Schauer, who joins the team in about three weeks Since the New York club paid a fancy price for Schauer six weeks ago, the big right-hander has burned up the wisconsin Minnesota league. Kin seIla thinks he is a better prospect even than Bill Lathrop, Wno twas ta,z ken away from the Giants and award ed to the White Sox. Sinister Dick also took good look at Larry Cha peIle the Milwaukee outfieIder, for whom the Chicago club paid a fancy price. and turned hi mdoWn. He looked good enough for a draft" says McGraw's ivory hunter, "but not for purchase at a big price"
 Pudding, sherbet, cake and iced tea Is luncheon enough for Walter John son on days when he is to pitch, on any day, for that matter. How much less does the average city cave dwell Ter require to overload his stomach at mid day 2 sss,rs ,S

A people who complacently insis,
upon wasting two billions Of dollars a

the latter, there will come such an era
Of prosperity as we have never yet

The most vicious and dangerous evil
Of modern times Is the saloon. 1t is
the enemy Of the home, the church,
the state. Its agents know nett her con

they will IL necessary to accomplish
their ends, degrade the home. corrupt
the church and dishonor the state.
Controlling a.vast army of voters whom
it has debauched, it dictates party
nominations and municipal, state and
national legislation. Ever alert, az.
gressive and unscrupulous, it trades
upon the evil passions Of public men
and wins its way by furthering ambiti.
ous purposes gratifying petty spites,
or flling yawning pockets. 1t 10 am
bilious to dominate cities, states. the

The Sober Truth

There are a number Of people In
Red Cloud who are advocates of high
license honestly believing that the
liquor question can be best settled BY
rigid control Of saloons. The arau.
ment Is advanced that so long Is liquor
Is manufactured IL will be bought and
sold, hence Il would be better TO con.
nne such sale TO . few persons who
would be held responsible for any &C.
cidents, or any violation OF law, and
further the schools are benefited bv
the license money.
However honest men are in holding
these opinions, We believe that they
are mistaken, and that the facts do
not bear them out. In the 6rst place
II has been couvincingly proven right
here in Red Cloud that the open "a.
loou Is not only the greatest institu.
ti0n Of evil In America In the eyes Of
the temdersnce folks but It IL also the
greatest enemy Of the other side Of the
question as we'll. As - matter Of fact
who put the saloons out Of business
In this city? Was 1t the growth Of
temperance sentiment3 Did the ef.
forts Of the one third change the ideas
Of the two thirds! by no means. The
two saloons which were 90 high hand.
cd in their utter violation Of every Law.
made the saloon business 90 unpopular
that decent men would no longer be a
party to such deHadce. And the sa.
looms went. This city is not mining
camp, neither Ia It tile resort Of de.
graded humanity.
The w. c. 7. Y. land we believe
great majority Of thinking men) Is
against the American saloon because
Of Its violation Of law, its efforts to
make drinking popular, and its great
avarice. It is conceded that no man
can run saloon and live up to our
Slocum law, then why accept a mans
money when you know, and he knows,
that It Is impossible for him to per.
form what he swears he will perform
when granted the privilege? We all
know that whed the three saloons were
here 1t was common sight to see
iray load after dray load of beer
brought up from the depot. We no
longer see that sight. We believe that
The records Of the Burlington station
will show that there is not one tenth
as much liquor shipped into this city
rs there WAS wnen we had our three
open saloons.
So far rs aiding our schools is con.
cerned We simply wish to ask what
would $500 amount to In our school
fund when we read the statement in
In last weeks issue Of the Chief that
our schools cost US sl6,SOO per year.
We are aware that II is no longer
popular to present the sentimental
side Of this question, We are told that
the recital Of the woes and heart.aches
Of the wives and mothers has lost its
power to influence voters to register
their judgment against the saloon, but
we do know that money talks" and
we simply want to ask the business
men of this city il they would not be
pleased to tap territory that would |
spend from "a 900 to $50, 900 a year in
their stores. The three saloons un.
took in that much money
each year. II the big corporations
have found out that drinking dimin.
ishes the efiicience of their help, 1t is
not good thing for your clerk, your
boy or yourself.
We are confident that the sgring
election will show greater majority
Df dry votes than at any previous cleo
lion--let US make It unanimous.

''Heredity and environment, no mat.

boy becomes cigaret smoker" writes
ID. H. Kress, NJ. D., in q letter in the
Chicago American, In which he states
that Teddy Webb, one OF the Chicago
auto bandits, who has been captured
recently, was confirmed cigaret fiend.
Webb is the son Of honest parents who
aimed to make him self.respecting.
DR.. Kress continues: by inquiry you
will ascertain that all of his Youthful
companions who took part with him in
bis hOldups we're cigaret tiends. and
probably began the use at an early age
The cigaret, more than any other one
thing, Is responsible for the present
crime wave and for many Youthful
criminals. The fact Is that 95 per cent
OF the young fellows who figure IN our
police courts and enter our reform
schools are cigaret smokers and begin
their downward career with their use
These facts are we'll known by judges
Of juvenile courts and other officials. VI
