CURB IT TRY TO RESTORE TAMMANY INFLUENCE NEW YORK, Jan.l9.-Xew York1! annual revelry at the celebration of the lirth of the New Year is likely to be a much tamer affair in the future if the reform plans of a united clergy can temper it This carnival of dis tipation was carried to such an ex trense this year that it brought an in ttant protest from the pulpit, in which the more sober element of the gay metropolis has since joined. Begin ing with a denunciation on Sunday, Jan. 3, by a prominent Jewish Rabbi, similar denunciations of this riot of dissipation have come from Protes rant and Catholic clergymen, and un less their ire cools meantime New York revelers ill have considerable difficulty in satisfying their seemingly anqnenchable thirsts on the morn of Kew Years in the future. Unless the writer's spectacles are defective, he sees goodness ahead instead of "gaie ty" as New York saw on the eve of 1909, or, at worst, something like the celebration of a New England "home coming" as compared with a Baby lonian festival; and these two events are not exactly alike. And why should,nt there be a tem pering of this annual folly? is a ques tion which may well be asked. Any person of either sex over 21 years of age who chanced on New Years eve just past to peer through the windows of any of a score of cafes that line Broadway might have had cause to blush for the revelers within .That there was a murmer of disapproval throughout the land when the story of this "feast" was told in the press dis patches from Manhattan was not to be wondered at "Why do they do it these busy workers of 364 days in the year?" is another natural question. &fe Quelle ELEVENTH STREET Opposite the Bakeronian HOT CHICKEN TAMALES EVERY EVENING HOME-MADE, and of the choicest ingredients; put up under supervis ion that guarantees their perfect freedom from all deleterious matter. The answer follows: "Let any callow youth or tjray-beard, for that matter, fill himself up with the fanciful prom ises of red wine and he is apt to far get the disapproval of the old folks and that he had a Sunday school bring ing up." Its all a mistaken idea of giving vent to the call of pleasure. This call has been so often repeated since the days of good Nicholas Knickerbocker .and Peter Stuyvesant that, like what we have read of the days of ancient Rome, each succeed ing revel becomes a bit more riotous more off-color than its predecessors. Granting that your average New Yorker would be satisfied to make thes occasions noisy little demonstra tions merely, rather than drain the cud of pleasure to the dregs, who is responsible for making these other wise harmless revels what one clergy man styled them, Bacchanalian car ousals filled with nauseous memories? Why, the wine and whiskey agents who vie in the metropolis to make their respective brands popular with the drinkers. Each New Years eve with them is but an opportunity to flood the much-frequented cafes with the wines and whiskies they represent A typical story by way of illustration will not be amiss. Shortly after the passing of mid night, December 31, 1908, had ushered in the dawn of the New Year, 1909, there were seen in two prominent Broadway cafes two of these agents known to fame along , the "Great White Way," one the representative of a widely advertised brand of cham- yaigne and the other the agent of an almost equally well-known whiskey. They were ordering up their "favor ite brands, and distributing whole bottles among the seated dinners,with that fellowship born of long acquaint kance witn the recipients, ine mere formality . of introductions to those who received these gift bottles was not to be considered. The point was that everybody must drink, drink to the health and long lite of everybody else; drink to the joy of the occasion; but drink, that was the point This seen to and the agent's duty was done. was happy. Was it any wonder hen, that in this flood of whiskey mix ed with wine said business men, brok ers, bankers, actors, office boys and others forgot the duties of the mor row; that they mingled brother and ister-like with one another; that at that particular moment certain ordin arily straightlaced gentlemen concei ved sudden affections for the wives and sweethearts of their neighbors at adjacent tables; and that demur act- Jresses so far forgot their company i manners as to climb upon and execute ! skirt dances on tables? I Now all these things happened, and much more besides that wouldn't look polite in print and when these festive dinners took stock next day they 1 blamed their headaches, to say noth ing of their wierd antics, on too much (indulgence 01 wine, vji cuuisc, iiiey iwere right as far as their muddled W00LLEY!tll0Ughts would pertnit them t0 see; 'proprietress 'kut t'ie rea' cause a"' t'le w'ne i j I agent, whom they no doubt regarded 1 as a benefactor, was lost sight of in Thft l lfVPnPlinS ithe riot of s0""" "pleasure.",And J.11U VVl liUHUU ti,e genus "booze" seller will crop up "The House ,of Welcome" , tgain rxt y"r',iust as T as,t N,T ' .Year dawns, unless meantime the lit- Corner Park and Alder, j tie reform movement upder way gets PORTLAN D, OREGON j busy and c1'ps his sPralinK winf?s- A hotel where the North-!

Croker, it is said, ! saw the strength of the organisation under the Murphy management wan ing, and he came to these shores to take matters in hand. Even those who doubt the political significance of the former leader's presence in this country are watching the situation with marked interest To begin, it has been a matter of keen regret to Croker that Tammany Hall has been forced out of national affairs in recent years; that the organ ization, once an acknowledged power in the lighter councils, has been rele gated to subordinate position even in that some one was to blame for this, and no doubt he is now seeking enlightenment. The fact that Bryan in the Novem ber election failed to get the whole Tammany tote, as pledged, may be laid to the uncertainties of politics, but some of the knowing ones, parti cularly Mr. Bryan and perhaps Cro cker, view it differently. The plea that this failure was due to honest miscalculation, if made by Murphy, would hardly be defensible in the eyes of the old leader. Whatever Crocker has in mind concerning the amount of blame charged against Murphy, it is certain that he will point the way to improve confidence in the good behavior of Tammany Hall in the fu ture.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-When the navel bill is reported to the House next week it will authorise only two big battleships instead of four as the program of the advocates of "a big ger navy originally called for and which President Roosevelt hoped would be done. This change of plan is due to the insistent "economy" cry, which Chairman Tawney of the Hous Committee on Appropriations has cal led on he House to head, and to the probability of vigorous opposition to the plans of the "four battleship men," Taking warning at the opposition to the four-battleship' program at the last session of Congress, only two members of the Naval Committee ol the House have had the hardihood to declare out and out for the authorixa- tion of four big ships at this session.

J hers in connection with his message bearing on the secret service investi gutfoiu. This process of "getting hack' at the Chief Magistrate will probably take the form of giving wid est possible publicity to the Hour's side of the secret service controversy. It will be done through the publica tion of 2,000,000 extra copies of the Congressional Record, to be dUtrl billed broadcast to individuals thro ughout the country. Besides the bill for postage, it will cost quite a sum to print the Record and distribute it, making a total of $50,000, it is estima ted. The plan is to print the speeches of those members who have voiced their indignation at the Preident' utter ances regarding the "need of investi gating certain members of Congress." While a good many members notably Chairman Tawney and his associa tes on the Appropriations Committee, are in favor of this scheme, its adop tion has not been "definitely decided upon. Now, in obtaining publicity for his remarks, the President has a decided advantage over Congret. His mes sages are printed in advance of their appearance in Congress and are dis tributed to newspapers throughout the country to be held for release, besides whatever he has to say on any subject is givt ample space in alt the newspapers, and in this way he is enabled to put his sentiments before the people. He may be said to have the "bulge" on his opponents. On the other hand, few Congress men, unless they are big figures, are ever quoted at any great length. Consequently, when they receive a "spanking" at the executive hands, they naturally smart under the pain of this enforced silence. 0 (HiiMiMBd SCENE FROM "SHORE ACRES" welcome and receive Courteous Treatment at moderate prices.

Before returning to Ireland and his v til racing interests, crocner proDawy will call together quietly the guiding spirits of Tammany Hall to give them few hints regarding their conduct in the next Presidential campaign. No matter who the candidate is, Crocker's isdom tells him that the organiza tion can hope for more of the spoils by giving him united support than by withholding this and being discredit ed, as Tammany has in the recent years. Crocker ruled with an iron hand in the old days, and there are those in the organization now who do not doubt his power to bring the Hall back into something like good repute with the national Democratic leaders.

Goethe. ment of the naval budget, the bill to be presented next week will carry ex penditures of approximately $138,000, 000, as compared with $123,000,000 for the current fiscal year. The two battleships to be recommended are to be vessels of 26,000 tons displacement, larger than any now afloat, and to cost $19,000,000. The rest ot tne 29,000,000, which represents the in crease this year over last, will be used to construct five torpedoboat destroy ers, $4,000,000; three colliers, $3.600000 four submarines, $2,000,000; one sub surface boat $400,000. Secretary of the Navy Newberry will oppose any recommendation that the big ships be constructed at the navy yards. In fact, he is not in fa vor of any construction work on any of these vessels being done by the government If the naval bill, there fore, chould come out of the commit tee directing this work to be done in navy yards, it will likely be followed by a protest from Secretary Newberry ,who is backed in his stand by several leading naval officers. Secretary Newberry's contention is that by private contract this work came to be done at considerably less cost. By way of illustration, he re fers to the collier now building at the Mare Island Navy Yard, which he savs is costing the government much more than the estimated cost of a simi lar vessel purchased from a private shipbuilding firm. While it was estimated last year that the two 20,000 ton battiesnips authorized by Congress, and now building, would cost $10,000,000 each, the members of the naval committee have been led by the Navy Depart ment officials to'believe that it will be possible to construct the proposed 26,000 ton ship at a less cost than that estimated for the larger ships last year. This saving will amount 10 $1,000,000, and according to Secretary Newberry it is due to the competition among the private shipyards. Unless present plans are altered, the House of Representatives will spend about $50,000 to "get back" at the President because of the "spank ing" he administered to several mem- WONDERFUL ORATOR. CHICAGO, Jan. 19. -An anrning story is told of the eloquence of Lu ther Laflia Mills, the famous lawyer whose death took place here yester day. Mis oratorical power are well remembered In one cae which Mr, Mills prosecute! before Judge W. K. Mc Alli.tter. niiiny jrars ago the judge afterwards granted a new trial, giv ing as his reason for so doing that the eloquence of Mr. Mills had so moved him that he had disregarded the evi dence. "Mr. Mills" eloquence was so great said Judge McAllister, in recalling the case, long after he had left the bench, "that it carried me away from the evidence and it was so with the jury. His eloquence was greater than the evidence, and this did not become ap parent to me until the morion for a new trial was made." As well ask " Arc all doctors auacks ? " or " Arc all law yers shysters ? We all know there are ignorant quacks ; does that prevent anyone calling in his good, old family physician in case of need and trusting him ? There are shysters, but there are also honorable lawyers to whom we confidently trust our lives and fortunes. There arc fake medicines advertised ; but they are not fakes because they are advertised.
