GERMANS NOT REAL
SPORTS, SAYS BURNS
TeutOnic PlungersHav Ner-
VOuS ChiIlS Over d
Cent Bets.

Jockey Tommy Burns, who has just
returned from Germany, where he led
all the riders with ffty-four winning
mounts, says the Germans are not very
good sports. Betting over there is a
joke" says Tommy. If a German bets
three or four marks "a mark is a centsl
on race. they think they are plunging.
In France they will bet you the limit.
In other sports Germany is worse
than in racing They have nothing in
the way of big events ike we have.
No baseball. no football. no boxing and
very little running. The athletes over
there are either boys under twenty or
over thirty. They can't develop good
jockeys because the boys have TO go
into the army just as soon as they be-
gin to learn something about the game
When they come back they are too old
and too large.
PinochIe National Pastime.
THE national game of Germany is
pinochle. and that is about as strong as

zone Of the hardest ticks to American
jockeys in Germany" Burns continues,
ais the failure of German horsemen TO
hand you anything extra for winning.
You know it's customary over here to be
handed a present when YOU do some
thing good over there the best you get
is cOngratulatOry message from the
Emperor. You'd be surprised TO know
that the jocks over there had rather
have that message than a 800 bill. but
1 viii take the yelloW-baCk for mine.
The Emperor never comes around the
stable and knows nothing about the
running OF IL. He simply goes to the
races twice a year as a matter of form
II his horses win anything he turns il
back into the stable or puts it into a
purse and lets the horse run for IL
again. There is not so much rivalry
among hOrsemen in Germany as there
Is in America.
Got the Haw-Haw.
'No. they don't know how to train
their horses. and the races are not up
70 the American standard.
1T made me laugh the first day I
went out TO gaIlop my mount in the
morning When they said gallop I
thought they meant gallop, but they
meant to run him. I started jogging
around the track and the other boys
an of and left me and got the laugh.
What did you let them leave YOU
orr the trainer asked me
thought YOU meant TO gaIloD the
horse, I replied. and I don't believe he
understands the idea vet Why, those
fellows run their horses in the morn
Ing of the day of the race. Can you

Burns earned $1,000 for his work on

q NEW minister had come to
w slow moving, out of the way
9A Spruce Hill, and with his COM
ing had appeared a spirit of
change and improvement. He was
fresh from his theological course and
eager with youth and love for the
work. Hitherto the church had been
to Spruce Hill place of solemnity,
only to be visited at required intervals
and as duty. Now, under the minis
trations of this young zealot, it grad
ually came to them that duty could be
approached from many directions, and
not all of them were necessarily thorny
and narrow.
Among other innovations were the
Easter sermon and church decoration.
The new minister made the announce
ment one Thursday evening after pray
er meeting and added that he hoped
all would be present and that the la
dies of the church would arrange for
a tasteful and appropriate decoration.
After service the women stood about
irresolutely, looking at each other with
blank, questioning faces.

A BAD MENTAL STATE.
1t Is One of the Greatest Foes to
Physical beauty.

Physical beauty.
If I were asked what was the great
est foe to beauty In both man and
women, would say not errors In diet,
not lack of exercise, not overwork, not
corsets, not any one of these, but bad
mental habits. If we observe closely the
faces of the people we meet at random
ON the street, at the theater or in the
great shops, we will observe that near
ly all of them are characterized by the
lined mouth, the drawn brows and 9TH
er facial disfgurements which accom-
pany bad mental states.
What do l mean by bad mental
states? l mean anger, fear, worry,
anxiety, irritability, regret, envy, jeal-
ousy, lack of trust in oneself and In
the great good. All these are bad men-
tai states, and all these destroy beau
ty not only by interfering with the
action of the vital organs, but by d.
rectly disfguring the expression of the
face.
Unless the beauty seeking young wo-
man is prepared to deliberately cult
yate good nature, kindness. calm
ness, cheerfulness even to hilarity, un-
less she Is prepared to deliberately
conquer all tendencies to the bad men,
tai states above mentioned, there will
be little or no results from her efforts
to deveop In herself that most divine
gift of beauty. = From Health the

The power Of wealth, which is some
times maIevolent, has been used with fine
effect during the last few days to sustain
THE fabric Of credit. 10 avert financial
disaster. and to localize the consequences
OF distrust engendered by disclosures of
fWrongdoing in iduCiary positions. If any
Fof the "nalefactors of great wealth" had
ibeen desirous Of bringing about a Roose-
welt panic. as they have sometimes been
accused Of being, they could easily have
stood by and watched the ruin of credit
rand the paralysis of industry. But of
Pcourse, they did nothing of the sort, for
their interests do not run that way. And
fEo we have seen men OF wealth and OF
Influence in the financial world working
Tin cooperation 70 restore public conf
IIlenCe and 10 reform serious banking
Rbuses. The sense Of fairness inherent
fSa the American people will not deny
irhese men the praise that is their due
fsor the great services in an extraordinary
Smergency.
We do not share the disposition mani
Vested in some quarters to place re-
SponsibIity for the occurrences Of the
lpast week on the Presidents campaign
tagainst corporate abuses. Mr. Roosevelt
rs willing TO admit responsibility for
turning on the light but not responsible
i1ty for what the light revealed. But Mr..
Roosevelt did not turn on the light that
iTevealed the speculative abuses Of the
lblnking system. nor did he turn on the
blight that revealed the traction scandal
He had nothing to do with the copper
Speculation that led TO the enforced re-
iJirement Of Heinze and Morse from the
'chain Of banks controlled by them and
brought on the suspension of the Knick-
.erbocker Trust Company Mr.. Roose-
ivelt's skirts are pretty clear of the pres
ient troubles in Wall street, while his ad-
hninistratiOn through the capable Cortel-
lvou. is giving the financial powers in
valuable assistance. Il is a time when
political animosities should be put out Of
sight and mind.
The Washington herald., 1907-10-26
Bailey and His Constituents

In common, doubtless, with a great
many newspapers and individuals. The
Washington Herald would be pleased to
know the exact status of public opinion
in Texas with reference TO Senator joseph
Weldon Bailey. One may got any sort
of a story. according 70 which paper
one reads but who al this distance shall
say which is accurate and truthful? Ap-
parenuy there is no middle ground. So
far as the press of Texas IS concerned.
Mr.. Bailey is either q double-dyed politi-
cal traitor, false TO every trust reposed in
him by the State he represents. or he is
absolutely without a blemish, the most
unjustly maligned and prosecuted public
man Of the generation. the innocent
victim Of a vile political conspiracy. Per
sonalIy, we have been unable 10 obtain
facts Of such a nature as TO lead US 10
either Of these extremes We think that
Mr.. Bailey, being human, has made many
mistakes. We are far from holding him
blameless in the Waters-Pierce OIL Com
pany case, though we do not think that
he would prostitute his talents and sell
his character and his reputation for
money.
Nor do we believe, as was asserted the
other day, that. in effect, the point
of Mr.. Bailey's lance is lowered; that he
viii fight no more. II is our opinion,
based on a rather intimate knowledge of
the man, that he will be full of fight as
long as there Is an enemy in sight That
| trait of pugnacity has ever been most
prominent in his makeup. and on more
than one occasion has amounted 10 a
serious fault. We have seen no evidence
OF its extirpation.
The speech he delivered at the banquet
in honor Of Gov. Campbell at Dallas on
the night Of October 19 contained not the
slightest indication Of meekness, being,
in this and all other respects, a typically
vigorous Baileyesque production. And as
70 the people, who is fitted 10 say, in
the absence Of a ballot test, how the
voters, to say nothing Of those nonen-
franchised political forces, the women,
view the matter?
The Waco Times-Herald. which has
severely censured the Senator, yet has
/ been rather faiFer and more level-headed
than the Texas press generally, dclares
that the Dallas banquet, in honor, as has
been said, Of the governor Of the state,

rying the fleet westward? Why not al
low Congress to pass on this Executive
project for training the navy in fleet
evolutions at an expense of. over 2,000, geo?
One Of the first acts of the incoming
Congress should be the passage of a reso-
luton of inquiry as to the object, cost,
and duration of the Pacific cruise. It
may be worth while to discover whether
it is within Executive competence to or
der the entire navy to a distant station
where in three months it will be utterly
helpless. unless Congress comes to the
rescue; to place a fleet in pawn and let
the nation redeem IT.
The Washington herald., 1907-10-26
One Orders; the peopIe Pay.

We are at last I'm possession Of some
authoritative information respecting the
purpose and duration Of the battle-ship
icruise to the Pacific, about which there
ihas been so much speculation since the
original announcement that the ships
would double the Horn and make their
appearance In our Western waters. On
"Wednesday, President Roosevelt defined
1.-THE purpose Of the cruise 10 be "to test
the capabilities of a modern battle-ship
fleet" and limited its stay in Pacific
waters to ninety days. At the end Of
that time it will return to its station IN
the Atlantic, If Congress puts up the
money. Current appropriations are suf-
.fcient TO coal and maintain the fleet on
THE outgoing voyage, but inadequate 10
bring the ships TO their home ports. Thus
lis the responsibility for keeping the feet
iin the Pacific adroitly shifted to the
shoulders Of Congress.
Mr.. Roosevelt is represented as never
entertaining any purpose TO maintain a
permanent fleet In the Pacific, his idea
from the first being precisely, as set forth
I'm his oyster Bay statement, that It was
igoing on a practice cruise and would az
fOnce come back. Granting this, il fol-
lows that Mr.. Roosevelt also knew from
1.-THE first that, once in the Pacific the
iships could not return without an addi-
ItiOnal appropriation, so that his order 70
the feet simply meant forcing the hand
iOf Congress as TO half the cost of the
Voyage. For, in the present state of
docksge and repair facilities on the Pa
Icihc Coast, it is impossible for the fleet
10 stay there. 1t must return, and Con-
.gress must foot the bill The situation
thus presented demonstrates that the
cruise should not have been ordered
without the prior consent Of Congress.
while there is no doubt that the Presi-
Ldent has a perfect right TO order the
ships Of the navy about as he pleases,
he has no authority whatever to make
extraordinary expenditure in the eIeCu-
.tion OF his orders, or 10 incur liability
In excess of the naval appropriations.
Particularly is this true if no grave
emergency required the immediate dis
patch of the fleet to a point Of danger,
THAT no such emergency existed we are
ment that the fleet movement is. as
originally asserted, a practice cruise,
Moreover, We are now told that the
President has not The slightest appre-
hension Of trouble with Japan; that his
advices from the far East do not give
the least uneasiness, but on the con-
trary, indicate that the Japanese are
diligently pursuing the ways Of peace.
We learn from an authoritative source
that the President Is disposed to make
merry with such newspaper correspond
ents. as have been led to believe the
contrary. The idea that a war scare
should have originated out Of the prepa-
Tations to send feet Of thirty-two
armored vessels 60 the Pacific disposes
the Executive to laughter Too absurd
TO be treated seriously, he regards it.
We are happy to join the amused circle
We rejoice in the passing Of the specter.
But If there is nothing on the interna-
toRai horizon, what is the need for hur.
