Cobbosscecontce ice yachtsmen are
awaiting with more or less impotence
for an opportunity to try out their
craft. rs thus far they have had but
little chance to enjoy the sport, be-
cause of the early coming of the snow.
For a short time in November they had
some sailing on the ice at Manchester
bay but the area was limited and the
coming of snow on the first days of
December put an end to the sport and
the ice yachts have been tied up since

snow on the lake is not great and that

THE BREWERS, BRISBANE AND
TOWNLEY.

Congressman Baer's employer Arthur
Brisbane, defends his loan from the Ger
man brewers on the ground that the loan
was friendly one and did not influence
the policy Of his newspaper.
Does Mr.. Brisbane maintain he would
have received this friendly" loan if he
had been the editor of such a paper say
as The Christian Science Monitor?
Mr.. Brisbane presents as his credentials
to his readers the complete and enthusi-
astic confidence of the German brewery
interests of America. And Mr. Townley
and Mr.. Baer evidently had and have the
complete and enthusiastic confidence of
Mr.. Brisbane. Does it therefore follow
that Mr.. Townley and Mr.. Baer have the
complete and enthusiastic confidence Of
the German brewers? All we know is that
Mr.. Townley's candidate for governor in
Minnesota has given his anti-probition
pledge.
