Little 10 Year Old Walter Miller
Gets $4,000 More Than Roosevelt

Sixty thousand dollars a wear q
trihe less than 5000 day, or $4,000 a
year more than the president of the
United States receives, is the salary
of Jockey Walter Miller, the greatest
little rider that ever threw a leg owe,
a horses back.
It is indeed remarkable that how
only IS years old, with a record tina,
dates back only two years, should COM
mand so large a salary for his SER
vices yet this is the truth.
Miller was born in Brooklyn 10 wears
ago. His fondness for horses was no.
ticed when he was scarcely II wears
old. He was determined to become a
jockey. and his determination carried
him to the coast two winters ago,
where he received his first mount.
For some time his mounts were
practically unnotiCed, when suddenly
he sprang into the limelight and TODAY
there are thousands of people
throughout the country betting on his
mounts without even knowing who the
horse is that they are betting on.
Rounds of cheers greet the little iockey
as he proudly rides through the pad
dock gate to the start.
Millers right name is Golstein, and
he has pronounced Jewish features.

among racegoers, Will be kept busy

rich Newcastle stable and James R.

jockey club steward, who has first call
on the Jockeys services. Terms were
agreed upon by which Miller will be
under the second call of the powerful
Keene stable. That is to say, he will
ride for Mr.. Keene whenever the
Newcastle stable does not require his
services.

nearly $4,000 in retaining fees alone
AS he will be in general demand when
his regular employers do not need him
it is estimated that he will earn more
than $4,000 on the Jockey clubs

form republicans profess to have no
doubt.
On the other hand, the democrats
in congress declare their readiness to
go the country on the tariff issue alone.
Recent events in congress and the
speeches of the president suggest to
many that it is upon the staff and that
only that the two parties now di.'a-
gree. There is little hope for revision
so long as the speaker and the party
leaders oppose it, and certainly noth-
ing of the kind will come about before
the next presidential election.

That Miller secures all the best

often he carries home horses which are
given little or no chance by the lay

a warm spot in the heart of every race

next congress some scheme of gen.
eral revision of salaries will be agreed
upon.
Both parties are Just now bending
every energy to capture the new state
of Oklahoma. The republicans have
been greatly cheered of late because
of what they believe will be big pu-
ocrats that will surely put the new
state in the republican column at the
first general election Democratic
leaders in Washington realize the sit
uation too, and are doing all they can
to prevent this mistake from being
made. AS the territory now stands,
owing to the large influx Of population
from Arkansas, Texas and other states.
the indications are that it would be
democratic The democratic party con-
in session. There appears to be a
strong determination OF the part Of
the convention to put into the stare
constitution a Jim Crow law similar
to that in force in some Of the south
ern states. Some politicians h Id that
to do this would cause congress to re-
fuse to approve the CONSTITUTE m and
prevent the president from issuing his
proclamation declaring the admission
Of the state into the union.
They likewise fear that such a pro-
viso in the constitution at this critical
juncture would throw the state to the
republicans Influential democrats here
have sent sharp kilograms to the men,
bers of the convention, urging them
not to make this mistake and pointing
out that after the state is admitted
and given all the sovereign rights Of
every other state, it would be within
the power of the state by legislation
to make this proposed discrimination
against negroes as effective as by its
incorporation in the constitution. If
congressional influence has any weight
among the members of the convention
there will be no reference to Jim
Crow" law or anything squirting OF
it. Democratic politicians are cor
WINGED that proposition at this precise
moment is decidedly dangerous, but
they know how to accomplish the same
results later on when the matter may
not be disastrous to the party.
