Chauncey NJ. Depew recently said
that one of the narrowest escapes of
his life was when he refused, some
80 years ago, to advance $4,000 to
help Alexander Graham Bell and his
father-in-Iaw, the late Gardiner Hub
bard. to develop the newly invented
talking telegraph" Mr.. Depew was
then counsel for the Harlem railroad
and Mr.. Hubbard a railway mail in
spector. Had | accepted the PROPOSE
ton said Mr.. Depew, Il would be
worth today about 10000, 900, or my
estate would. for with this vast
wealth l should have had no incentive
to healthy work. 1 should have dete-
iorated. and should probably now be
dead and forgotten"

He has clear brain, mighty muscles,
skill, and he is as hard as nails.
He was pitching ball in fast conn
pany IA years ago. He has pitched
ever since. If he lives he will make
new records next season, and no man
can say when ''Cy'' Young will retire
He doesn't even think of it.
In years Young is young In the
activity and hard work that tend to
make age he is a patriarch. Other
ball players by the score have dropped
out of the procession. They coudn' t
stand the pace, which grows swifter
year by year. Many of them burned
the candle at both ends. 1t is easy to

mess, too.
The historian says of Soy Young:
"He is Il gentleman. He is never
guilty of rowdyism. He was never
drunk in his life. He hasn't found it
necessary TO accumulate a stock of
bad habits in order to have good
time His clean morals find a sequel
in strong body. He takes care of
himself in a sane manner. in summer
he plays ball with every ounce of en-
ergy in his six feet of Drawn. In win

was county, Ohio. Spring finds him

There is fine moral in the life of
this ball player.
We can't all live on farm or play
ball, but a good many of the young
fellows who sit in the grand stand
and the bleachers when Young hurls
the ball over the plate could find
health, contentment and the road to
success by studying the good things
in the life of the big pitcher.

Notorious for Frauds.

Springfield Register: The Roosevelt
administration has become vocifer-
ously notorious for the gigantic and
unheard of frauds that have been per-
petrated since its advent to power,
and also for the slight efforts made to
expose them and punish the offenders.
\ few of the smaller fry in the post
office scandal have been indicted, and
few have been tried, but not con
victed, as the evidence adduced by
government attorneys was not suffi-
cient to convince jury of their guilt.
1t can be rightfully assumed that
these government attorneys did not
exert themselves to produce evidence,
and did not seek to draw out from the
witnesses produced testimony neces-
sary to convict.
Then the delay in investigating
these scandals has been a boon to
most of the greater offenders; for
that convenient law, the statute of
limitations. has run its course, and
the time had expired in which they
could be indicted. That the statute
of limitations covers a number of
these questions is denied by eminent
lawyers, but the republican attorney
general has decided that it does, and
there is no way of bringing the cul-
prits to trial if the law officer of the
government refuses to act
The postoffice frauds are not the
only ones that are causing sleepless
nights and bad half hours to many
political patriots. Evidence is accum-
ulating that huge land frauds amount
ing in value to S4O,0O0,0O0 have been
worked on the interior department
although this scandal has not yet de-
veloped into an exposure of the per
petratOrs of the fraud. But frauds in
the same department in connection
with the Indian lands are discovered,
and an investigation has been begun.
The Indifference and delay exhibited
by the administration in exposing
what has already been discovered of
fraudulent nature in the postoffice.
land, treasury and other departments
may be for the purpose of letting the
statute of limitations get in its work,
so that republican patriots shall be
able to escape the tolls of the law
Day by day it becomes more evil
dent that if the people of the United
States want honest and faithful pub
lie service they must take the govern
ment out of the hands of the republi-
can rings which are now in control
at Washington.

name, and figuring conspicuously in her
''Lovey Mary is flesh and blood, female
citizen of Louisville, KY, named Mrs
Mary II. Bass, who has been the source of
much profit to Mrs. Alice Hogan: Rice.
Mrs. Bass discovered that she had, under
the name Mrs. Wiggs,' become known to
several hundred thousand people in the
United States, and she has declared that
she never had any ambition to be put into
a book, but, since it Is brliited that nMrs.
Wigs Of the Cabbage Patch is to be
dramatized, Mrs. Bass is somewhat indig.
nant. As she is shown by Mrs. Rice s
sketches to have an eye for business, it is
possible that he may put in claim for q
share of the profits Mrs Rice has re-
ceived from the two books based upon the
am'able Mrs. Bass; alias Mrs. Wiggs. Mrs,
Rice would certainly be doing the mag
unanimous thing if she would voluntarily

The Business Outlook.

Several prominent railroad officials
have been over the west recently, tour
ing Independently, each covering a diff
ferent section of country and making
personal investigation as to the outlook
for traffic for the spring and summer. -
Those men We're out to size Fup the
general situation and from their reports it
is evident that where they had looked
to find everything favorable, they found
a promise rich even beyond their ex-
pectations. There is SO much business to
and central west, that Notwithstanding
the breaking Of the freight blockade, the
constant addition Of new equipment. and
an early opening Of navigation which will
bring great relief,, it is likely that the
roads, will be heavily burdened for
long time to come. :s-ss
Allowance must be made for that excess
actuated by the desire for heavy tonnage
as the means Of large earnings and the
legitimate enhancement of stock values,
feels constrained to put into his reports.
But when this has all been eliminated
there remains a promise favorable in the
extreme.
The west is getting ready to take in its
spring supplies and from now on west
bound tonnage will steadily increase.
Manufacturers in the west are rushed
with business, and besides the regulN
freight offered the roads, there is a vast
quantity of eastbound merchandise hith-
erto delayed by inability Of shippers to
get cars. All this is actually in sight,
while for the more distant future there
| is the promise indicated by a winter
wheat crop at present in the highest con-
dition and covering the largest acreage
| ever sown.
Two factors likely to develop later
on into Importance enough to effect the
business situation unfavorably, are scar
city of labor and tight money. At pres
emit there Is little trouble in the indus
trial field, and happily the differences
between employer and employee that have
appeared at intervals have been amicably
settled. From Fall River to Kansas City
there have been disputes and disagree
ments, and at Boston labor conditions are
very unsettled, but at no point has any
/ thing very serious developed, one great
factor for. peace being the disposition OF
capital, especially Of the railroads, to
3 grant concessions to the men rather than
