POLITICIANS.

Dodging is one of the chief sports of
the American oficeholder and politi-
clan. In the elegant ~vernacular of the
political profession, lodging is called
passing the buck" Few will take a
firm stand or assume any serious re-
sponsibility if they a possibly stand
from under or shift the burden to other
shoulders. The average occupant OF
public office will not ever tell an appli-
can't for a job that there is no job for
him, but prefers to temporize, and fill
the applicant with false hopes, and
finally wear him out by repeated post
ponements and multiplied excuses. In
time the gulled applicant gives up hope
and ceases to press his petition.
Politics makes towards of nearly all
men. A man in politics seldom yields
to the impulse and the sense of duty
that bid him take a firm position and
speak for the right when the issue is
not presented directly to him. He hides
himself in the crowd and waits for
some one else to take the leadership
and the responsibility in an unpopular
cause. or in a cause which will antag-
onize powerful interests. Men OF this
trimming habit and timid character
may be honest enough in all private re-
lations and may be strong enough to re-
sist temptation to do a positive wrong,
but it is only the big man, the man OF
force and courage, that will step for.
ward to perform a dangerous duty
when he might as easily hold back and
let the storm pass high over his head.

If he Is an experienced mining man.,
he will also state that the majority of
these failures are caused by inexper-

the services of a competent super

The first cup races of the season were
sailed by the White Bear Yacht club
yesterday afternoon in a moderate
breeze, which blew about eight miles
an hour at the start and lasted long
enough for the boats to finish COM
fortably within the time limit. Thir-
teen boats were entered in the four
classes and heeled over considerably
in the puffs, but for the most part
the wind proved steady.
The day was marked by the entry
of two of the Seawanhaka chaIIengers,
which had been rugged for the occasion
and were put into the races merely for
trial spin and for the purpose of
perfecting their tuning. The two boats
were of different type, one being a
sharp-nose affair, built from a Mower
design, while the other is an improve
ment over the Massasoit, designed by
Crowninshield. That both boats were
not in any kind of tune is evidenced by
the fact that their work was compar-
atively slow, it not being the intention
of either skipper to strain his boat in
the least, seeking only to study their
habits and stretch their sails. Both
boats are very powerful and the wind
which blew yesterday was not nearly
strong enough for their liking. They
take the water easily and comfortably,

RIFLE TROPHY GOES
BACK TO BRITISHfRS.
Controversy VIII Be Closed by
Return of Prize Won by
American Team

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 11.--As 4
result of the controversy over the style
OF rifles used by the American team in the
match for the Palma trophy last July, the
executive committee of the National Ri
ne association by unanimous vote this
afternoon decided to return the trophy
at once. Instructions will be teIegra phed
for it's immediate shipments The execu-'
tive committee unanimously adopted the
following preamble and resolution:
Whereas, This committee has careful
ly considered ali the facts and CORE
spondence in connection with the con-
trOVersy which followed the Palma tro-
ply competition Of 1903; and,
Whereas, We regret the evident diff
ferences of opinion which have been made
for publication, and, while we find the
captain Of the American team made no
secret whatever Of the exact character
of the rifles, believing their use perfectly
proper, which differences Of opinion had
never existed had he officially submitted
the rifles for approval, in accordance with
the explicit instructions given him by the
president Of this association; and,
Whereas, Prolongation Of the argu-
mentS as to what is or is not conformity
with regulation patterns Of riftes@ might
be continued Indefinitely, with no pros
pective good resulting therefrom; and.
Whereas, 1t is the unanimous senti-
ment of this committee that the existing
controversy cannot continue without
working serious injury to competitive
military rifle shooting the world over;
Resolved, That we hereby ratify all
statements made in the letter of the pres
ident of this association to the secretary
of the National Rifle Association of Great

mind is, How can I obtain the kind of
strength which is most needed?
The work can be tried, for almost
any exercise will assist in some de-
gree to strengthen useful muscles. I
would advise short distance running,
hurdling, the broad and high jumps,
and gymnastic exercises of all kinds,
but don't do too much Of any one
thing.
!, After taking this preliminary course
so as to timber up, commence the prac-
tice Of the vault and cease the other
work entirely. The number Of times
you should practice each week is a
matter to be judged by the strength,
but it should be at least three and not
more than five. When competing cut
the practice to twice on the preceding
week
The first thing for the beginner to
do is to learn what is called the
SHIFT" which is the handling of the
pole previous to the actual jump.
The pole should be held with the
hands two feet apart the right hand,
palm up, being uppermost. and the left
hand with the palm down.
The pole should be held at the side,
waist AlSu' anu putting straight III
front.
Take a few long strides as If ap-
preaching a jump, keeping the back
straight and then make the shift"
bringing the right hand above in front
of the face and sliding the left hand
up to the other. This movement will
naturally turn the point Of the pole to-
ward the ground ready to make the
leap.
As soon as the "shift" is perfected
the athlete can take few jumps into
the air, but keeping hold Of the pole
and endeavoring to travel a straight
and not too rapid course.
This part of the jump having been
mastered the man can try over a bar,
at a low height, gradually increasing
the height. Supposing the bar to be
placed at eight feet, the pole should
be grasped with the right hand at
nine feet from the bar and the left
