! *****************,
Chicago, April 3.-All is in readi-
ness for the championship wrestling
contest tonight, between Hacken-
schmidt and Gotch, when the worlds
title will be decided by these modern
gladiators of the mat. Thousands Of
dollars will change hands as a result
OF the struggle. Although the foreign
Invader is a favorite, the Iowa man is
being heavily backed BY patriotic ad-
mirers who believe that he will show
the Russian Lion a few new Yankee
tricks in the wrestling line.
Georges Mackenschmidt, although
horn in Russia and known as the
Russian Lion" has not drop of
Russian blood in his veins. AS may
be guessed from his name. his father
is German. His mother, who is a
Swede, has relatives who have attain
ed more or less prominence locally as
wIestlers and all round athletes and
gymnasts. Born at Riga in 1877, the
hoy received an excellent education.
and at seventeen years Of age was
preparing himself in st. Petersburg
fer the career of a civil engineer when
his youthful feats of strength began
TO attract attention. He was asked
to visit DR.. Krajowsky. a physician
interested in physical culture, and
was advised to take up wrestling as
a profession.
This advice was not followed i'm
mediately on account of interference
with studies, but about four years
later Hackenschmidt made his pro-
fessional debut. The wisdom of this
course is apparent today. Modest ami
unassuming, the champion is a well
read and cultivated man. who speaks
Russian, French, German and Eng
lish with almost equal fuency He
lived in Paris for about two years
before going to England, which has
been his home for several years.
The Russian Lion" is feet 10
inches in height and weighs 210
pounds. His neck is phenomenaliy
large, being % inches. His normal
chest measurement is 4S inches and
his chest expanded SO inches. Other
: figures show: Biceps, 1917 inches,
forearm IA inches, thigh 271a inches
and calf 171a inches.
Gotch has not got the educational
advantages enjoyed by his rival, as
he was born on a farm, and when moi
engaged on the mat is himself

Something worth While.

The efforts of our legislators at
Charleston to accomplish something
for the good and the advancement Of
the State have attracted attention
elsewhere as the following editorial
of commentator from the Union
town, Pa. News-standard shows:
The McDermott law passed by the
West Virginia legislature in its extra
session promises much good to that
state.
The law forbids railroads from
taking up fake rights OF way on OPP
posite sides of navlgable streams and
allows one corporation to condemn
unused rights of way of another. The
B. 6 o. railroad has retarded busi-
ness and progress in the state in the
state by following the practice which
the new law aims to correct and has
kept other railroad lines from enter
ing the state, although confessing that
1t was not able to take care of all
the business offered.
The state needs increased railroad
facilities-competltors for the Balti-
more & Ohio and the new law opens
the way for the competing lines to en-
ter the state.
There is no doubt that a new line
will enter the state before long, and
there will be a patronage for it that
will quickly repay the outlay in build
ing the new line. Besides that, the
service of the B. & o. will be made
more efficient when new line enters
the state. The extra session has done
something worth while.

degree Of satisfaction as it we're.
They know Governor Bradley to-be
a true public. man and feel that the
interests Of Kentucky and the eoun-
try win not be betrayed by him to
crafty any selfish ambition or de-
sign.
And. thus the defeat OF Beckham
emphasizes, at least gives rise to the
belief, that the election Of United
States senators by popular vote, to
be effective, must be beyond the mere
party primary plan, and must be in
more direct identification with the
people, to be successful. The cleo
tion Of Bradley demonstrates the fact
that even a political party through Its
leaders may become so disgusted at
itself as actually to turn upon itself
and give 1t such Establishments as the
four Democratic legislators in Ken
lucky have done, who voted for Gov
ernor Bradley.

Secretary of War William Howard
Taft, after hearing arguments, has
decided that the Allegheny river
bridges at Pittsburg need not be rais-
ed. maintaining the position taken
some time ago by Blihu Root when
at the head of the same department.
The chief argument advanced for the
action asked for was that of the
hindrance to navigation during times
of high waters. Perhaps, the genial
but sagacious presidential possibility
in making his decision bore in mind
the great Importance of the conser-
vation of our natural resources in re-
lation to inland waterways, believ-
ing that future energy should be di-
rected toward the cause of floods in
stead of their results.

BradIey,s ELECTION.

The Kentucky Democratic poll
ticians Of the Beckham type and per-
suasion doubtless now disapprove of
the principle of electing United
States senators by the voice of the
rank and file of the party and GER
tainly doubt the efficacy of the prin-
ciple.
In the Kentucky case Beckham
submitted his claims, or rather con-
tested them months ago, before the
rank and file of his party, and, on
the face of the aggregated expression
thought he had won so far as his
party was concerned. But, the con-
test did not end there. Dependent
to degree at least was his ultimate
success and actual election upon the
outcome of the last state election
there. Possibly, had he and his
notorious political machine succeed
ed in defeating the will of the people
of the Blue Grass State, he might now
be United States Senator. But, he
did not carry the state for his party
or rather his party would not let him
carry 1t for those he had chosen to
govern the commonwealth the next
four years, and then, perhaps, as
never before 1t became impressed up
on his party that the Beckham faith
and practice did not promote the
common welfare, but rather border
ed on the intensely selfish.
The Republicans nominated man
for United. States senator who had
served the state well as its governor
and against whom there was nothing
detrimental to be said. Even the
strictly partisan had no criticism of
an adverse nature to make Of ex-
Governor Bradley and the Repub-
licans placed him proudly before the
!, Legislature as one most worthy of the
honor of election to the United States
senate.
i From the outset more than enough
Democrats barely to defeat Beckham
.rebelled against his manipulation of
the party and felt outraged over the
manner of his primary Endorsement.
They at once refused to vote for him
5. and they stuck to that refusal, Even
the peerless one from the plains of
). Nebraska with all his matchless ora
tory, as his admirers are wont to
call it, and his appeal for party fealty
did not touch the hearts of these
men. who held to the idea that Beck
hamism was not Democracy by any
means and steadfastly pursued that
course to the bitter end. at last pre-
ferring to go to the aid of country
man, whom they knew to he a citizen
of high hcAor and patriotic ideals.
Thus. did tRsy turn to Governor
Bradley, rather than longer run any
risk OF being inflicted with more
Beckhamism.
Doubtless, they VIII be denounced
by narrow partisans In their own and
other states, but, thereis common
feeling among Democrats generally
that Backham has done the cause OF
Democracy much harm in the South
and his defeat but brings to them
