Brewers the Real Blind Piggers

tuesday decide the question OF licensing
In these towns those active in behalf of the licensed
bar have had good deal say about blind pigs, and
they will continue to have good deal more to say
until the last ballot is cast. Suppose talk little
bit about this poor, MANNED critter ourselves
Who the blind pig, anyway?
Who is responsible for him?
At least nine of every ten illegal liquor sell
ing joints either owned protected by the brewer
Spell 1.-THE BREWER. Here is the to
both questions If you do not believe this to be true,
prosecute one of these dives and where your oppo
ston comes from. 1t is true gospel. The over
wheming majority OF illegal joints brewery-owned
or brewery protected.
This being the case, does the brewer care whether
his dive is in licensed territory in dry? He most
certainly does not He puts it anywhere it will pro-
duce revenue for him. Money, that is the object of
the dive and hundreds of illegal liquor selling joints
are located in territory. Some of these blind pigs
are located in the same building with licensed saloons
Voting out saloons is not responsible tor the bringing
in of the blind pigs and licensing the saloons is no
protection from them The way to kill the blind pig
is to strike him with the strong of the law He is
outlaw, kill him. Do not imagine that the power
of excutioner can be delegated to the saoonkeeper
That worthy may all right, but he cannot qualify
for the Job; the brewer will not let him. The saloon
keeper and the joint keeper look alike to him.

OUIMET HAS CLEAR

Americas Great Open Golf Champion
Declares He Quit Caddying at
Age Of Fifteen.

Boston, Dec. 2s.-Something akin to the
proverbial tempest in a teapot has been
aroused in the golfing world here and
in England over the report that the anna
teur status of Francis Ouimet, conqueror
Of Vardon and Ray in the American open
championship, would be questioned when
his entry is submitted for the British
amateur championship. to be played at
Sandwich next summer. Horace Hutch
inson, an English authority on golf, raised
the question Of Mr.. Ouimet's eligibility
to compete as IN amateur when he re-
Gently wrote down his conclusion that
the Woodland golfer was not an amateur
under a strict Interpretation Of the Eng
lish golfing rules pertaining to the age OF
caddies.
Mr.. Ouimet laughed at the questioning
of his status as an amateur by Mr..
Hutchinson, and made this statement yes
terday:
"I fully expect to play in the British
amateur championship next season. Any
thing which may be said In England at
the present time intimating that I have
carried clubs for hire after reaching the
age OF sixteen years is not concerning

/ was fifteen years old. and since have
done nothing that will tn any way inter-
fere with my standing as an amateur.
All question of Mr.. Ouimet's eligibility
for the British amateur championship Is
going to be settled long before he goes
abroad. The Massachusetts Golf Asso-
citation will see to that itself. The Wood
land Club OF which Mr.. Ouimet is mem-
Der, already has had an opinion from r.
