Of property was caused by the men

Crazed with liquor, they burned build
ings after buildings. It was one Of
the most expensive sprees ever pulled
off in the state and it started In the
licensed saloons.

were the only two instances in Ohio
this year In which the mob spirit pre-

EFFECT OF DRINK
& ON CHILDREN
Drinking Parents Mean DefeC-
tive Families.
ONE YOUNGSTOWN CASE CITED

Charity Worker Investigates Family
and Finds Deplorable Conditions
Resulting From Drink on the Part
Of Parents-NormaI Children Born
to Same Parents Before They Began
Drinking.
Youngstown, O.-That the use OF
alcohol on the part of parents is re-
sponsible for defective children is
proven by the history of family in
this city. Mr.. ]. M. Hanson, secre-
tary Of the Charity Organization So
ciety Of Youngstown, gives this re-
markable instance Of the result Of
his investigation of family living i'll
this city:
''In April, 1908, an Italian residing
at 263S Shannon street came to us
asking that we place his three defec-
tive children in an institution. / Wis
tied his home and found three nope
less idiots, aged 6, and 11s years,
respectively. There was no sign of
any degree of intelligence in either Of
them. They all took nourishment in
the form of milk from bottles. Not
having intelligence enough to use
their limbs, they had not developed,
and so all were helpless.
81 found in the course of my in
quiry that there were four older chill
dren, who were normal, viz, girls,
aged 16, Is and 8, and boy 10 years
old. These children we're, with the ex-
ception of the oldest, who helped her
mother with the care Of the idiot chill
dren, in the public school, and were
doing as we'll as the average Italian
children Of that grade.
'The explanation of this apparent
mystery of the two sets of children
normal and degenerate, in the same
family, was found to be due to alco-
holism in the case Of the parents. The
history of the family as it bears Oh
the matter is as follows:
Story of the Family.
"Prior to 1900 the man worked for
the Carnegie Steel company in the
Ohio works. The normal children
were born during this time. In 1900
. local brewer, wishing to establish a
saloon among the Italians in Briel
Hill, found this man, who had saved
some money, and got him to go into
the saloon business. He built his
house with the family living room in
the rear Of the barroom and the sleep
ing rooms on the second floor. The
wife helped to tend bar and both be
gan to drink to excess, and 1t was
during this period when both the mar
and his wife we're drinking to excess
that the three idiot children were
born. The two older of these idiots
have since died, the youngest, now
about 3 years old, is living.
Incidentally It may be stated that
the man lost his property and ended
in debt to the brewery, and was
obliged to ask charitable aid during
the depression of 1908. He later went
to work as a day laborer and became
self-supporting. After their saloon
was closed they both quit drinking to
excess, though they did not recover
morally, and the youngest normal
daughter is now in the Girls Indus
trial training school at Delaware, an
incorrigible."

q II DOESN'T GO DOWN.

While the Republican party, as re-
presented by those in charge at the
state house, has strayed far from the
path of true craftsmanship and they
have wasted their efforts in dividing
our people on religious, race and
class prejudices, this has not affect
ed the true heart of Republicanism as
advocated by this newspaper since
the foundation Of the Republican
party.--Ohio State Journal.
This is not the time for the Ohio
State Journal to make complacent ex-
cuses for its treatment of Governor
Frank B Willis and the Republican
party. There is probably not a true
Republican in the state of Ohio who
believes that the Ohio State Journal
has been fair either to the Governor
or his party. AS many believe, it has
done all it could to belittle and dis
credit Mr.. Willis. 1t has ridiculed and
misrepresented him in every possible
way. At least, many so believe II
cannot expect that Republicans will
at once forget and forgive such ut

The Cox newspapers at Columbus
have announced that under Governor
Cox Ohio will now go back to progress
sive legislation. They thereupon de-
clare that one of the early acts of
the administration is to do away with
agricultural board composed of prac-
tical farmers who serve without sal
airy and a successful business man
for secretary, and create in its stead
a salaried commission of three or five
members such as Democratic politi-
clans enjoyed under the former ad-
ministration. 1t is to be presumed
that the Cox newspapers viii refer
to this as a piece of great construc-
tive legislation Progressive" and
Democratic rule has come to simply
mean a change whereby hungry
Democratic politicians can be given
high salaried berths. These words
which Governor Cox and his cohorts
have delighted to mouth repeatedly
can be made to cover a veritable sea
Of hypocricy.

Inasmuch as every saloon keeper
in Ohio received his orders by either
registered or special delivery in the
closing days of the campaign and was
told in beautifully rounded sentences
that his vote was expected to be reg
istered for James M. Cox for gov
ernor, the question now arises who
made a deal with the liquor associa-
ton which sent out these persuasive
missives. Will the Cox newspaper
which so roundly abused Governor

mitting Cox the entire vote of Gin

Neither Wrinkles Nor Tender
Youth Golf Handicap.
Old Men and Boys Alike Cop
Honors of Links.
BY FRANK G. MENKE.

Golf is the age-less sport: the one
game where extreme age or extreme
youth do not act as a handicap.
Two years or so ago, Francis
Ouimet. just out of knickerbockers,
entered the national open champion
ship-and won. He beat all the crack
players in America: he -triumphed
over vardon and Ray. the great Eng
fish iinkists And Ouimet then was
still in his teens.
A short time later Walter Travis.
far along in the fifties. competed
against the best players in the Metro
po1itan district-and Travis won the
Championship.
Harry vardon was 26 when he won
his first title: he won his sixth at the
age of a.. Jimmy Braid, also of Eng
land. wasn't a champion until he be-
came 81 years of age. Since then he
has won five mpionships-the last
at 40. And Braid's playing at 40. an
age considered far beyond athletic
played at 81.
j. III. Tayior's Record.
j. H. Taylor. another English wiz
ard. was only % when he first took
unto himself a title He was AZ when
he won his fifth. Tom Morris. ranked
as one of the greatest golfers England
ever produced. was II years old when
other hand "Old Tom" Morris was 40
before he annexed his first crown in
1861.
And so it has gone throughout golf
ing history: stories of championships
that show that age has nothing what
ever to do with the ultimate outcome:
that an old man has as much chance
for victory as the callow youth; that
age doesn't figure at all in the play
ing of the grand. old game
Frank H. Hoyt, of the Siwanoy
Country club New York; paid a golf
ing bet the other day by diving into
the little pond that acts as a hazard
on the course
Hoyt crack. played around with
sumner r. Hollander. who frankly
admits that he isn't remarkable as a
linkist. Hoyt spotted" Hollander a
liberal number of strokes. whereupon
Hollander in glee said:
With such a handicap I think 1
can beat YOU
IF you do. I'Il-well, I'll do a little
Annette Kellerman into the pond at
seventeenth hole.''
you're on" answered Hollander.
HOllander Won.
Hollander played beyond himself in
that match, beat Hoyt, and then gently
remarked that a certain pond was
yearning to hold Hoyt in its LIQUID
embrace.
m on my way there nOW, an
swered the losing but game Hoyt
Summon the gallery
And while tittering crowd lined
the banks. Hoyt, fully clothed, poised
gracefully on rock near deep water
In the pond, and then he took a
Brodie.
Rosing to the surface Hoyt de-
cided that as long as he was in he
might just as well linger for a while.
So he performed a few aquatic eea.s
for the edification of the crowd, such
as floating, treading water and
spouting like whale. At last he
clambered out, his pongee suit, his
silk shirt and the rest OF his toggery
soaked with the muddy water of the
pond
"Hollander may have something on
you as golfer, but Annette isn't in
your class as a sea nymph," TIE
crowd told the dripping Hoyt, who
grinned and sprinted for the club
house.

MANY STARS OF

The American association, by the
way. seems to be cleaning up this sea-
son in selling stars to the big leagues.
Just give look at a partial list. In

for something between $4,000 and
$4,000. and two players They also
got fat sum for Carter. Kansas City
is known to have got a kings ransom
for Chuck Workman, the infielder
they sent to the Cubs. However much
truth there may be in these reports
It's pretty likely that all these boys are
bringing good money. They are all
real stars and have been pursued nv
several different clubs. Two or three
clubs were after Jimmy Middleton of
Louisville before McGraw grabbed
him and several scouts had their eyes
