 LOUISVILLE, Ky. Oct. 15-A trib- ute to the class of men who become drunkards was paid by Ira Landrith, the prohibition candidate for vice president. in an address to young wom- en at Ward Belmont college in Nash vile, today.
 Don't judge the drunkard too harshly," Landrith said. For one thing, he never is a tight wad. He who worships the eagle on the dollar seldom worships the bottle on the shelf. The mean, miserly, narrow skin flint does not get drunk. The man who becomes a drunkard. likes men; the miser has no social instinct Pro- hibition of the liquor traffic will save to us generation of men who would give blessing to their time"
 None of the other speakers aboard the prohibition special train spoke dur ing the day. J. Frank Hanly, the presidential nominee, rested his voice for the strenuous Indiana invasion to- morrow.

 The company believes that in looking . find ample reason to refute the state ment that the auto industry is on the decline. Instead of being on the Wane,
 it is evident that the coming year is going to be one of the greatest in the history of the manufacture of automo- piles. owing to the fact that the auto has come to be such a necessity among so many classes of people. especially the farmers, it can be seen that the l power driven vehicle can no longer be 1 classed in the category of IuXuries, and hence is not doomed to the discard. as ! many have, in years past, freely pre- dicted. In Detroit, the home of the ! Studebaker, and incidentally the home i of thTee-fOurths of the automobiles made ir this country, the 1915 registra- l tion figures show more Studebakers in

PASADENA Cal, GAn. 1.--Playing m d ran that marred the entire Tournament of Roses. the Washington State College football eleven defeated Brown University If to 0 here today in a game that featured the city's annual New Year festival. Vigorous assaults on the Brown line and con- stant bucking tactics kept the Rhode Island Athletics continually on the defensive
 They held Washington scOreless in the first half of the game, and even imperilled the goal of the western CTS on one or two occasions, but they finally were beaten back on the water soaked field iE the third and fourth quarters, Washington getting a touch down and goal in each.
 Boone, wEo replaced Hanley at right nalf for Washington at the opening of the second period, scored the first touchdown, and the plunging Wash ingtor Fullback Dictz put over the second one. Despite the wind pre- vailins, Durham, quarterback. each time booted the ball between the goal posts.

YOUNG HORSES ARE
 COMING INTO OWN
Seattle Man Advocating Futurity Events for
 Young Horses

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 1.-The staging of purse events fer young horses instead of so many early clos ing futurities and stakes. is thc pres ent custom. is the suggestion made by C. A Harrison. of Seattle. for the Improvement of the light harness game on the Pacific coast In this connection Harrison has been quoted as follows:
 More opportunity in this way would he offered as an inlucement to get the young horses to the races Under the present system of early closing events too much hardship is worked on the small owners. One has to enter two or three years in advance of the race. and payments nave to be met. Sometimes you pay mp on a horse until the last closing date and then something goes wrong and you are out all the money paid in. Many owners simply do not en- ter the futurities and stakes so far in advance. and. as a result. there are few young horses in the compe- tition.
 If there were some purse events more horses would be trained and there would be better sport. My idea IS to have some mile dashes for year ling and three-heat events for two and three -year-olds.
 The plan however. is looked upon with skepticism by horsemen who be- lieve that there would be considerable risk involved of breaking down q promising colt or lilly with early training. There are some who con cede that Harrison's plan might work out but the campaigning of yearlings even for the ouc-mile distance does not meet with general approval. This togetl.er with several other innoVa- tions. is expected 70 be brought up for discussion at the meeting of the Pacific Fair Association which will be held in the near future.
 The influx of Grand Circuit horses. drivers and owners during the two big trotting meets held under the au- spices of the Panama Pacific eXposi- ton is expected to result in a de- cided revival of interest in the trot.
