Frank are men who have a world. .u,ae
reputation. To see the SQUAD eIreIJng
the track reminds one OF a pack in fuII
cry. II is beautiful sight the stronr
limbed runners eating their way round
the circuit
Has Peculiar Stride.
Sheppard has stride peculiarly his
own. Never, since the days OF charlie
Fitzpatrick. has there been a runner l,l-e
him. The FIRST thing about the Quaker
City myers iorm is the power shown In
his stride. His legs lift. reach out and
strike the ground with the force Of a
piston rod. and when they strike the
cinders they rebound as II driven by ataeI
springs, He keeps up this powerful
stride throughout the race. Toward the
end OF gruelllng contest his stride
may become slower. but II never
shortens. Even when "all in' his tense
thigh and back muscles IN, his leg in
that long. swinging stride. His upper
body he holds almost stiM. and his chest
STICKS out so that II looks as IL he were
forcing his shoulders up and back. But
such is not the case. Sheppard has
wonderfully large pair OF lungs. which
demand much space. consequently. he
has deep chest, which shows promi
nently-so prominently when he is run
ming as to look almost a deformIty.
Sheppard's face is an interesting thing To
watch during race. He has high cheek
bones, deep. cavernous eyes and a promI-
ncnt jaw. When he is exerting himself
and his breathing becomes Difficult, his
face takes on the expression of a wolf.
His lips tighten and draw back, showing
his teeth in snarl. for all the world
like that OF gauht. gray timber wolf.
Sheppard, though having perfect form In
accordance with his physical make
up. could hardly be called a graceful
runner.
Harvey Cohn is the exact Opposite. His
stride is tho poetry OF motion. He swings
along over the track seemingly wlthou,
any effort whatever. In fact, ii seems as
II he were a winged Mercury and the
wind were sweeping him along. Ex-
cept toward the finish of a particu-
larly hard race Cohn does not seem to
be cxertlng himself at all. When he is
running along II is hard to tell whether
he is running fast or not. His style is
perfect. and he is the most graceful run
ner that ever donned a spiked shoe.
Sullivan and Bonhag's style OF running
is half way between Sheppard's and
COINS. They run both powerfully and
gracefully, Yet neither of them has the
power In his stride that Sheppard has
nor the grace and ease that belong TO
Cohn. Billy Frank is the most awkward
OF runners, He runs fatfooted and his
stride Is laborious In the extreme. He
is a plugger and depends on getting
there" through natural stamina and
bulldog pertlnacity.

Belle to Sydney Pagct when she was
a ycarling and Joyner developed her.
She was not believed TO be great
two yehr.old at the beginning Of her
career and she was raced at Aquednet
in the spring Of 1903. After she won
her first race, Mr., Paget offered her
to tho late William c. Whitney for
$4,000, but that gentleman had a

BRYAN THE DICTATOR.

Washington Post.--It is announced
that Mr.. Bryan will not tarry long with
us before he sets out on another voy-
age of discovery Of the art of govern
ment-this time to inspect the social
istic systems Of New Zealand and Aus
tralia. We are told of the woman who
encircled the globe in search of a four
leafed clover and failed to find it until
she got back home, and there 1t was,
right at her door, where it had been in
open view the day she started globe
trotting after 1t.
The art Of government is expressed
in the term self-government, which
may be defined as home rule-that is
to say, that the government shall do
nothing for the citizen that the citizen
can do for himself. There are two
ideas-one that government is evil, the
other that it is bliss. Thomas Jeffer-
son held to the first Of these ideas. We
do not know of any character in our
history who clings more tenaciously to
the second idea than William Jennings
Bryan. He believes in government,
and heap Of it; he would allow the
citizen to do nothing that it is possible
for the government to do, and 1t is a
fact that the democracy of Andrew
Jackson would not have touched with
the tongs the democracy of Mr.. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan will not allow the democ-
racy of Illinois the blessing Of home
rule, but has issued orders that the
party in the state of Stephen A. Doug.
las and William r. Morrison shall not
be represented by an individual person
ally offensive to himself. This is what
the late Jerry Black called a-colonel.
ing Mr.. Bryan is nothing but private
in the ranks of the democratic party
What right has he to order Roger Sui.
livan to resign his office in the demo.
cratic party? If that did not suggest
cruel and inhuman punishment, we
would say that Mr.. Sullivan has MS
much right to forbid Mr. Bryan Ia
make a stump speech as Mr.. Bryan
has to order him to resign from the
national committee.
Mr. Bryan has no conception of the
fundamental principle of the democra
cy of Jefferson, Jackson, Tilden. which
teaches that men make money mind
ing their own business. Seven years
ago Mr.. Bryan went to Kentucky and
there ordered the democratic legisla
ture to reverse the verdict the people
had given at the polls. His mischiev
GUS meddlesomeness then brought I'M
numbered woes on that state, and
there the democratic party is in dan
ger of wreck, mainly because Mr.. Bry
an was not democrat enough to mind
his own business.
We are impatient to see the bale CT
democracy Mr.. Bryan will unpack in
New York, August 80.

WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?

San Francisco Bulletin.-In all the
wide world today there is no city ex-
cept this which can so wildly realize
the tragedy which has oyertaken the
desolated Chileans--none who can lend
them so deep sympathy as the San
Franciscans. We who have been shak-
en- by the same convulsion and tried
by the same fire know, as written
words could never make us know, the
utter anguish which these people must
suffer before they can take up their
work again. Substitute a name here
and there, and the broken dispatches
which come from Valparaiso might be
dated San Francisco, April 49," Yet
realistic as they are, they only serve
as vague suggestions for us to fill In
with a wealth of remembered expert.
ence unique on our northern continent.
For us it is rehearsal of the terrible
labor through which San Francisco
struggled to a second birth.
No one can interpret the earthquakes
or read the fire, but so long as men
are thinking beings the inevitable
question arises, What does 1t mean?"
We leave it to biologists to answer if
the western coast of two continents is
sinking to firmer foundation. We
leave 1t to economists to answer IL ma
tions are builded on tribulation. It
may be the only answer we can ind
is that it means closer fellowship OF
man, through trial and sympathy.

SAVE THE FRANCHISE.

Ottumwa has something that other
towns would like to have, but have
not and stands in danger of losing it
baseball franchise. 1t is worth sew
eral hundred dollars as salable prop
erty, but II a certain amount of money
Is not realized by Monday it will have
to be forfeited, and not dollar can
then be realized upon it.
This is a matter of public interest.
While the right of control is vested in
number Of men, many others are f.
nancially interested in it and it really
belongs to the public because the pub
lie pays for it and reaps what benefits
there are to be derived. There is no
more profit in it to the men who con-
troll it than there is to anybody else.
The fact Is that they lose money OH
1t have lost money on 1t every year
and will probably continue to come out
at the wrong side of the ledger as long
as the league lasts, that is as far as
the gate receipts are compared with
the expense of keeping the game go
ing.
A baseball team is travelling adj
vertisement for a city. Not only that
but every day that there is game
played the name "Ottumwa" appears
in every one of the metropolitan pa
pers in cities where the professional
game is played.
Ottumwa has had an off year in
baseball this season, just like the play.
ers have an off day, like every man
has day in which he can not do so
we'll as on some other day, when he
gets started wrong in the morning and
everything goes wrong until the end
of the day. Plans are being made for
next year, and If the franchise Is lost
then is when the team will be missed
Ottumwa must have something to keep
UP with the march of other cities. Mus
catine is the only city of this class in
the state that has not an opportunity
to see league baseball. and it has been
supplied most of the year with a first
class article of independent games. Be
sides their baseball games, Cedar Rap
ids, Davenport, Rock Island, Dubuque
Des Moines and Council Bluffs and 9th
er cities have their amusement parks
or things of a like nature that keep
the town lively and make it attractive
to visitors.
If Ottumwa should lose her baseball
franchise she would lose about all she
has in the way of amusements. There
are a few things that city has tc

and compete with her sisters and q

TEN THOUSAND AND TRAPPED.

1t was but few days ago that
Professor Charles Frye. former super
intendent Of the Chicago Normal
school, returned to his home in the
city by the lake after an absence of
thirty-one years and gave his wife
$4,000 with the understanding that
she was not to ask him any questions
about his absence. 1t was agreed
among all married men that $4,000
was none too much, when they con-
sidered the cross-examination they had
to go through when they were absent
from home one night-not thirty-one
years.
So Frye was not asked any ques-
tons, neither did he volunteer any eX-
plantations. His children had grown to
manhood and womanhood and we're
we'll employed The incident aroused
great amount Of curiosity, the alb
sence of thirty-one years on the part of
a prominent educator being enough in
itself to cause people to wonder in con-
sideration of the fact that his family
was kept in darkness as to where he
was located If alive.
But there was additional interest in
the case when he returned and made
the donation Of the large amount of
money for the privilege of being allow
ed to go his way without being COM
PEELED to answer or even to evade the
questions Of his wife and family.
The interest in the case had not all
died out when woman comes from
South Dakota and has the educator
arrested on charge of bigamy, the
proceedings having been commenced
in Chicago Friday. She says that Frye
married her under the name OF
Charles Goddard, and she is known as
Mrs. Clara Goddard.
Thus it is explained why he was
willing to turn over the $4,000 If he
might be immune from the interroga
lions that were almost sure to follow
his arrival at his old Chicago home.
He had simply tried to turn the trick
once too often. He had successfully
made his escape from the city, and if
had successfully acquired a new home,
as well as some wealth, and had he
staid there until he died, he would
probably have been buried without
either Of his wives being any wiser.
But he was not satisfied at accomplish.
ing this much and he had to go back
to his first wife and attempt to carry
the matter still further by making two
mysteries as to his whereabouts in.
stead of one.
Perhaps his vital mistake was in not
giving Mrs. Goddard" $4,000 not to
ask where he was going, nor to follow
him after he went.

and accordingly have made arrange
ments to offer for sale for payment in
script about 20,000,000 acres. This Is
taken as a bid on the part of the
government for the support of the
peasantry as against the revolution
lists. Among the reservations are the
forests and the land belonging to the
state
1t is reported that it will require
little cash for the transaction. The
landlords and other sellers will be

ually redeemable by the peasant pur-
chasers in installment notes. The
land of the imperial family will not be
given free, but like other landlords
the emperor will accept the script.
Whether or not this will turn the
millions of peasants to the side of the

cULLoM AS "NEw LIGHT"

1T has been announced with appar-
ent enthusiasm that Senator Cullom is
shining among the new lights" and
can not be classed with the standpat-
tiers. He is quoted in an interview and
the paragraph leading it says he is
ready to join the revisionists. With
out reading the entire dispatch one
would be led to believe that Cullom
was going to be the prince of tariff
rippers, but perusal of the whole
story shows the Illinois senator to be
as much Of a standpatter as Leslie M.
Shaw
II do not advocate wholesale revi-
sion and never SHALL" said the sena-
tor, "for that would be suicidal Furth-
ermore, the people do not demand rad
ical action and they would not stand
for it. My notion about the matter is
that few of the Dingley schedules
could be lowered and with beneflt to
our business interests"
What is there startling about that?
No standpatter can disagree with any
of these statements. President Roose.
welt does not say that there are no
schedules that can be lowered with a
resulting benefit to certain lines of
business, but he advises that it not be
done until the benefits outweigh the
evils that are attached to the tinker.
ing.
ut must not be understood" the dis
patch goes on to say, from anything
found in Senator Cullom's utterances
that he is in favor Of tariff tinkering
by the next congress, for he observed
that nothing would be done until after
the next presidential election"
That is standing pat for two years, and
that is quite a long time. Players
stand pat on only one hand at time.
At the time of the converting of every
congress, or at each succeeding con.
gressional election at the most, the
leaders who formulate the policies of
the party get together sometimes at
Oyster Bay and sometimes somewhere
else, and decide on the question OF
whether it is we'll to stand pat or take
a few new cards. That is all there is
to It,
The revisionists have been crying
for revision Of the tariff for four
years, and now Senator Cullom is
ballad as a recruit Whan he says that
