She Thinks Nothing of Riding Six
teen Miles an Hour.
The advent OF lady bicyclist upon the
racing path in this country would natur-
ally create quite Juror in cycling circles
but in Denmark one of the best known
bicycle riders is Miss Johanne Jorgensen
who has gained wide repute by some
marvellous track and road performances
Cycle racing is entirely foreign to the fe-
male element in this country, and, in
fact, in Europe.
Miss Jorgensen has just reached her
majority, and rides a bicycle purely for
recreation. She holds a number of Dem
mark records, including six Danish miles
on tandem, upon the road, in hour and
AZ minutes. She has ridden 81 3-5 miles in
hours, and 129 3-5 miles in IL hours.
Upon the track she has ridden six Danish
miles in 1 hour and 80 minutes, and four
miles in SO minutes.
A Danish mile is equal to 4-5 English
miles. All of the above records were
made in 1890. Last year, on the road,
Miss Jorgensen rode 100 miles in 6 hours,
lowering the previous record of SO 2-5
miles made by wheelman. In IL hours
time upon the road she rode 161 miles,
VIC "AcoancA recoru Oh LOU
miles.
Miss Jorgensen is light built little
woman, and appears to be delicate. She
is, however, thoroughly infatuated with
cycling. She frequently rides tandem
with M. Petersen, the Danish racer, and
they aspire to meet Holbein and Shor-
land, the English tandem team, in race.
Miss Jorgensen has also won several
prizes in tricycle. contests. She is very
popular among the wheeling fraternity,
holding the position of secretary to the
Danish Road Club,

to throw up their hats for crime when
the thief with characteristic bandit gem
erosity ostentatiously gives to the poor
very small fraction of what he steals from
the rich. This is what is meant by the
praise lavished on Jim Fisk. that while
"he may have done wrong, he meant well
and never went back on the poor" that is,
he largely squandered what he stole; he
bribed some OF the beggarly bystanders
with part of the swag not to summon the
police by crying stop thief"
Horace Greeley, an able, honest man,
who gave his whole life to the cause OF the
common people, has no statue to his
cratic government of the great
city he loved. Unfortunately for
Mr.. Greeley's Democratic popularity,
but fortunately for his historic fame he
was never even suspected of municipal
thievery, political iobbery or any sort of
private or public dishonesty; hence he
has no statue erected by the Democratic
party that he led to defeat in the fond
hope that if he could not win the battle
he could at least teach them the methods
of civilized political warfare. And Peter
Cooper, who gave New York millions, has
no statue. But if Jay Gould should die
tomorrow it would be easier to get up
monument to his memory than to that of
either Grant or Greeley. The Demo-
cratic common council of Boston
once proposed a statue to Mcclellan,
not because he was soldier, but because
he was q military marplot and uniformed
political tool of the Democratic party.
Democratic cities and councils do not
erect statues to Hancock, very able SOL
der, Democratic candidate for president,
because he was always soldier, a loyal
soldier, and nothing but soldier while
war was raging, but Hancock. like Grant,
Sheridan or Sherman, goes without Demo-
cratic statuary honors while McClellan's
efiigy is erected.
Nobody who ever read McClellan's auto
biography, including his letters to his wife
during his military career, will find any
reasonable excuse for erecting statue to
Mcclellan on the score of his conspicuous
services as a patriot or soldier. If Nc
Clellan's ''Qwn Book" is true story, then
Lincoln was very base, heartless parti-
san, who deliberately sacrificed the Army
of the Potomac because its commander
was Democrat. If Lincoln was liar,
fool and cruel political knave, then Nc
Ciellan was martyr; not otherwise. And
yet New York and Philadelphia both have
statues to this charlatan, while the Grant
monument waits

Dear Sir: l would have written to you
before this, but thought l would wait
awhile and see if there would be any re-
lapse. 1t has been six months since 1
stopped your treatment, and. as there has
been no return of former symptoms. am
assured that my cure IS complete. l can
eat kinds of food now that l have not
been able to eat for fifteen years, and do
not remember that my bowels were ever
so regular. am indeed thousand times
obliged to you for what you have done for
me. We have used your medicines in our
family several times for acute cases and
always with the best results. l am fully
satisfied that you can cure anything that
can be cured. / shall always be pleased
to recommend your treatment to others,
for to you and your remedies owe more
than can ever express. 1 pray God that
you may live many years to benefit others
as you have me. Please accept the graft
tude of an overlooking heart.
Respectfully yours,
MRS. C. HOLCOMB.

Tacoma does not appreciate the $4,000 per
month which the people of Everett have poured
into her Golfers for several months past in the
purchase Of supplies If the Ledger may be re-
garded as the spokesman OF the wholesale mer-
chants of that city. That trade has gone to Ia
coma without any solicitation upon the part OF
her merchants. They have made little or no
effort to get 1t. Even in the face OF all that.
these same merchants hare stood idly by and
allowed their Oldest newspaper to abuse Everett
and publish one article after another, entirely
devoid of truth and simply born of prejudice
and jealousy.
II the wholesale merchants of Seattle viii take
advantage of the opportunity offered them be-
cause OF the unjust and malicious attacks made
upon Everett by the Ledger, the merchants OF
this place are in pretty good humor TO transfer
to them some very valuable trade. If the Ledger
reflects the sentiment of the Tacoma wholesale
houses, they accept the business sent them from
Everett as matter of course, and then spit
upon the town and its people for being fools
enough to stand the abuse heaped upon them
by Tacoma's Oldest newspaper. This seems to
be candid statement OF the present situation
of things

Tn 1914 Governor Martin Chittenden, OF
Vermont, refused to order the state militia
10 the aid of General Macomb, then con-
fronting powerful British army at piatts-
burg, n. y. and the small Vermont con-
tingent went as volunteers. Governor
Chittenden could, and did, prevent ms
state guard as an armed, organized body
from aiding the government, and his con-
duct would be repeated today by any gov
ernor who chose to be obstructive, ana re-
fused to despatch the state guard to the
aid of the government.
OF course so long as the governor was
well disposed the United States call Tor
aid would be answered as Governor An
drew. Governor Sprague and Governor
Buckingham answered it in April, 1851,
but If Governor Andrew had refused to
order his drilled, disciplined, armed state
guard to Washington City. the United
States would have been obliged to get its
men and arm them as best it could; 1t
could not get the state guard.
McMaster's history of the United States
says that three of the New England states
refused to send their state militia to the
aid of the government in the war Of 1877
Is. Tt is a notorious fact that President
Madison confessed that the obstructive
conduct of New England made him hasten
to make peace with England by the treaty
of Client
The state of Kentucky, though not one
of the seeding states, refused by her gov
ernor to furnish Lincoln with troops hold
ing them at home in defense of her 'neu-
trail" attitude between the war of sections,
a position which was not abandoned until
Grants seizure of Paducah and the con-
centration of the federal forces forced Ken
lucky to reverse her action.
The verdict of recent court-martial in
New York state released member of the
state guard charged with disrespect to the
President of the United States, upon the
ground that the guardsman could not, as
membcr Of The state guard, be arraigned
for such an effense; that while the Presi-
dent of the United States was commander
in-chief of the militia of the United States.
he was not commander of the state guard.
The government could get volunteers,
enforce drafts, but the government could
not get the original drilled and disciplined
body, the state guard, if the governor
chose to be obstinate.

Were he governor there would be no speculation
as to his position on every question. lie would
be standing out as positive as the
rost positive for the rights of the people. Had
he been governor last winter, our state would
not longer wink at Pinkcrtonism; nor would
the granger OF Eastern Washington be crushed
and gasping under the leaden heel OF the North
ern Pacific railroad. We have lots of men that
would make good governors, but none are SO es-
pecially adapted to the position as the brilliant
colonel. What pride the young men of the state
would take in supporting this brainy young
statesman Let US nominate Colonel James
Hamilton Lewis, Washington's greatest orator.

According to the Railro I'd Gozctte's summaries
III passengers and $50 employees were killed in
train accidents In the United states last year;
and l,is3 passengers and 1,i47 employees were
injured. Negligence in operating the roads ac-
counts for much the larger number OF fatalities,
ia passengers having met death for this cause,
and 3i5 employees. The number OF derailments
caused by malicious distractions was more
than so per cent greater last year than the year
before, and more than twice as great as for any
year before that. Compared with recent years
the nul4ber of fatalities both to passengers and
employees was greater than for any year since
1851 One hundred of the III passengers killed
lost their lives in nine accidents
