STILL GIVING OLD
REGULATION TALK
Michigan Vets Trot Out Ancient Ar
g1unent About Control. Modera-
ton and Clean. Up.

Detroit. Mich, June 6.-''Some
folks still talk about regulation and
moderation" said Walter ]. Hoshal.
Detroit manager Of the dry campaign.
II should think that they would be
ashamed to bring that up. especially
here in Michigan. During the last
ten years the saloons of this State and
especially of Detroit, have had repeat
ed warnings to regulate. moderate
and clean UP. The counties have been
going dry with an awful regularity
They have had repeated warnings
from the press and yet they have alb
solutery refused to have anything to
do with the pet arguments of their
crowd. and. In fact, it is entirely for
eotten until Just before election: then
those old ghosts are dragged out and
tlauated before the peoples eyes on
the supposition that they can blind
and fool a great many men by these
fictitious arguments.
Our fight here In Detroit Is no
against the saloonkeeper OF the man
engaged in business. 1t Is against
the organized traffic itself. We do
say though. that any man who makes
his living off the exploitation of other
mems weakness and vices IL in an
undesirable business. and that is just
SAdCtiy WHAT Vie SdIOOu buSiUcSS u.s.
MANY of the men in the business
realize this. and are only waiting for
the opportunity to get out. A certain
saloonkeeper in this city offered to
bet 8 to l that Michigan would go
dry this year. have every reason
to believe that he voices the senti-
ments of the majority of the men in
the business. The issue this year IA
the saloon and organized booze.
There may be blind pigs when the
saloon Ii gone. but not any more than
we have got right here with the sa-
loon overshad owing and hiding them.
We don't suppose. neither do we pro-
pose for a moment to attempt to
make a man good by prohibiting the
LIQUOR business. We believe fully with
our wet friends that you can't con-
troll mems passions by law. The
white slave act was not passed In
attempt to control mems desires 1t
merely places certain acts outside the
law where 1t can get hold OF a man If
he violates those provisions.
THE State prohibitory law on pro-
Neither will 1t cure the appetite OF
the moderate drinkers. but 1t will re-
move the open saloon and place the
poisonous stuff outside the law. and
render II possible for the State to pun
ish man who attempts to engage in
the business OF making and selling
OF It.. 1t will also smash the saloon
power and the hanging out place for
criminals. low politicians and the
usual barrooms' hangers-on."

Thus what we call evangelism and co.

YESTERDAY I told you of my
visit TO the blind and today
these are the true stories OF
the children told me by the loving
sister in charge of them.
Little Catherine was a merry
faced little girl, and within her great.
vacant eyes there were no depths Of
anguished unhappiness. She seemed
quite satisfied with the little patch
OF sunlight they called the garden.
but when I asked her: What would
you like to have above everything
else?" instead of replying pep
permint candy" bologna sausage"
or "a phonograph," it was, I'D like
to have mother"
"A mother! Poor little girl" the
sister whispered in my ear. This
was the baby that was found on the
street, deserted by her mother. She
was sweet plump little baby OF
six months old, but, unhappily. born
blind A mother was seen carrying
the baby and looking for place to
leave il. Two hours later she had
gone-no ore knows where-and
when the baby was found they
brought her here and she has been
with us ever since"
Two little children. not over three
years old, came stumbling in, reach
ing out their hands for Lucinda, the
blind colored girl of seventeen.
whose duties were to guard the lit
tie children.
1t seems that Lucinda. too, had
been found. a little, tiny. deserted
blind baby. So light was she IN
color at that time that they had
thought she was white, but as she
grew older, she turned darker and
darker. until they had nicknamed her
Little Chocolate Drop Lucinda
loves to hear this story and laughs
over it as heartily as any Of the
other children. -.

PRINCESS CHOPS DOWN TREES
Alice of Greece Does It to Keep Her
self in Fit Physical Con-
dition.

villa Mon Repos, Corfu, Greece
The Princess Alice of Greece, who was
the English Princess Alice OF Batten-
berg, has spent the past summer chop
ping down trees to keep herself fit.
The Princess Alice is thirty, n cousin
of the Queen of Spain. Shortly she
will take her children back to Athens
for the winter season and give up fell
ing trees to begin again her work of
encouraging the Greek women to earn
their own living by home sewing-the
Princess Alice's own particular hobby.
The two eldest little girls, Princess
Marguerite and Princess Theodore,
eleven and ten respectively, are as
brown as their mother and as strong
though they have not been chopping
down trees. They have been swimming
every day for an hour and a half in
the warm translucent water of the Cor
fu Channel. Prince Andrews wife
herself is a fine, strong swimmer now,
but it has not been a long time since
Sheldon Whitehouse, who was then
secretary of the American legation,
pulled her out of the water and saved
her life when she had gone down three
times
The villa of Mon Repos, the sum
mer place of Prince Andrew and the
Princess Alice, was the favOrite coun-
try residence of the late King George,
who left it TO his third son. but un-
fortunately he failed to leave the
means to keep it up.
Prince Andrew is a colonel of a cav
airy regiment-nOt a lucrative EN-
ployment. Princess Alice also is not
rich, and the pair, who for royalties
are poor as church mice, have four
children, all girls, sad prospect these
days when Europe is full Of royal
girls and short Of royal boys to marry
them.

FIRST WEATHER MAN
Prof. Able, Who Died Recently
Made Earliest Forecasts.
Present Service outorowth Of Work
Begun In ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Known as "old Prob"

Few persons who are now familiar
with Uncle Sans comprehensive ssys-
TEN of weather fOrecasting, with its
far-reaching results, know that the
present system is the Outgrowth OF
weather predicting service which was
established locally In Cincinnati, o.,
in 1860 by Prof. Cleveland Able, when
he was the director Of the observatory
In that city. Professor Able, who died
recently was known for years as "Old
Prob" because of the fact that the
forecasts which he Issued were first
published as probabilities rather
than as predictions.
The son of a New York merchant,
Cleveland Able became an instructor
in mathematics and astronomy ut the
University of Michigan in 1860. Dur
ing the Civil war period he was an
aid Mt Cambridge Mass, to DR.. b. A.
Gould, then astronomer of the United
States coast survey. The years 1861
'GG he spent in Russia at the Inn
perial observatory as guest Of the resi-
dent staff Of observers there. On his
return to the United States he was
chosen director of the Cincinnati OBJ
servatory.
In May, 1868, Professor Able ex-
pressed TO the chamber of commerce
of that city his willingness to make
daily predictions of the weather for
the benefit of the citizens. His pro-
posal was accepted, and the work be-
gan in September 1869.
The success of his scheme led con-
gress in 1879 to establish national
bureau of storm warnings for the bene-
fit of commerce. It's conduct was in
trusted to Gen. A. J. Meyer, then chief
signal officer of the army. He adopt
ed into his weather bureau all the i'm
portant features of Professor Abbe's
work at Cincinnati and, in January
1871, invited Professor Able to Wash
ington as his scientific assistant.
The regular tri-dally issue of the
probabilities" began in February
1871. These forecasts were published
throughout the country anonymously
as official documents, and the cOgno-
men of "Old Prob" was soon widely
applied to their author.
1t was largely due to Professor
Abbe's initiative that the advances in
the service, such as ocean meteOrOlogyr
the prediction of floods in rivers, the
publication of the monthly weather re-
view, the adoption of civil service eX-
aminations in meteOrology, the intro
ductiOn of uniform standard time and
innumerable other steps were taken.

marines in all phases of their

actual brush with rebels in
Haiti.
The new picture soon to be
