Pitcher king Crockett, who IVES
purchased by Manager George I.
Stallings for the Newark Eastern
League team yesterday, may not be
in a class with Mathewson, Brown,
Reuhlbach & Co, but in the opinion
of Stallings, who is considered 81 good
judge of a ball player, he will prove
of the strongest pitchers in the
Eastern League this season.
"In 1906, when l had Brockett with
me at Buffalo said ~Stallings, HI was
the best twir1er on my staff; better
Kissinger and all the rest. Be
fore that season was over twelve OF
the sixteen major league clubs were
after him.
"VVith his speed, on the Newark
grounds, Brockett ought to be a Won

ter than he as helders. He's a good
batsman, too, n liable to break up
his own game with the stick.
"Brockett did not do himself justice
last season. Tie was purchased by the
New York Americans, but had SOME
difference with the club over the salary
question. Consequently. he was late
in joining the squad on the spring trip
to Atlanta. When he did report he just
happened to strike a cold spell of
weather and was unable to get into

SHEPPARD'S SUSPENSION
LIFTED BY A. A. u. OFFICERS.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-It was an
nounced yesterday by officials of the A.
A. U. that the suspension of Melvin
Sheppard. the middle distance runner
of the Irish-American A.. c., viii be
lifted at s o'clock on Saturday evening.
This will enable Sheppard to compete
in the games of the Spanish War Vet
Grams at the Twenty-second Regiment
Armory Saturday night.
The suspension was lifted through the
generosity of DR.. George w. orion,
president of the Middle Atlantic Assoc
citation of the A. A. u, and DIR. II. L.
Chadwick, chairman of the Registration
Committee of that district. Both of
these thought that the Irish-Americau
runner had been sufficiently disciplined
for his exhibition of ill-temper the night
that he raced against Guy Haskins.

OLIGARCHY
OF BUSINESS.
Great as Was That of Rome,
Says Gov. johnson.

Two evils menace America to-
day, said Gov. John A. Johnson,
of Minnesota, in a lecture on The
Majesty of the Law" They are,
he said, the Capitalization of
power in the Federal Government
and the Capitalization of business
power in the hands of few men.
He said in part:
Executives are frequently gov
erned by expediency. Expediercy
is always fraught with danger.
The political or anization which
disregards expediency and sticks
to principle is the one which ac-
complishes results. Some things
have happened which seem to in
dictate that a few men are trying
to control everything. We have
now an oligarchy as great as was
the oligarchy of Rome. 1t is the
oligarchy of business.

STATES WHISKY CROP
100000 GALLONS.
Drops From 36,000,O00--De.
crease Since 1907 Due to
High Grain Price.

The annual time for the closing
down of the distilleries of the
country and Kentucky is at hand,
and within the next three weeks all
of the whisky manufactures will
have been shut down until the sea-
son for resuming next September
and October. The best figures that
can be obtained so far indicate that
the crop this year will reach in the
neighborhood of ID, 900, 900 gallons
for the distilleries of the entire
country. Last year the total crop
was 36,0OO,O0O million gallons
Many of the whisky manufactures
ceased operation shortly after the
season began last fall, because of
the rd-breaking price of all
kinds of grain, which made pro-
duction very dear.

In Kentucky.

Adiutant General p. p. John

charge of the troops during the
efforts to break up the night riding
ing in Kentucky, is a member OF
the Society of Equity and his to-
bacco is pooled in the Burley So
ciety. The Governor is pleased
because it shows the BurIey peo-
pie that the man who was trying
to break up lawlessness is not an
tagonistic to them. Gen. John

FEAR LOSS OF
!, NEXT HOUSE.
Some Republican Leaders In
easy.

That the Republicans may lose
the next House, Notwithstanding
thhs-result of the presidential cleo
ton, is the fear expressed by some
of the House Republican leaders.
Congress is giving little attention
to the recommendations of the
President. In fact, it is not put
ting it too strong to say that Con-
gress is ignoring the Presidents
recommendations. If the Presi-
dent is as popular as many of his
admirers contend, the election of
Republican President and a
Democratic House as rebuke to
those who do not worship at the
Roosevelt shrine may be the result.

The Most Common CalSe of Saf-

Rheumatism causes more pain

know that Chamberlain's Liniment
will afford relief, and make rest and

relief from pain, which is at first
temporary, has become permanent.

PAPER COST
Increased Sixty Gents; Selling
Price Raised SIP.

More evidence tending to show
that there is a combination of pa
per manufacturers to fix the price
of news print paper in the United
States was adduced before the COM
mittee investigating the subject of
duty on wood pulp and print paper
as affecting the price in the United
States, Apparently this commit
tee was particularly impressed
with the annual statement of the
International Paper Company for
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1907,
showing an increased cost of pro-
ductiOn of 60 cents a ton as against
the raise of price in paper of SO a
ton.
Asked for statement regarding
the Canadian mills, Mr.. Norris
said they were running at this time
because the American mills had
combined to maintain prices at
such a high figure that Canadian
mills could pay Sc ton in freight
and still undersell the price which
the combination had fixed as its
selling basis.

We had one some twenty years ago
i that we have not gotten over yet.
Things are invariably said and done
that should not be said or done.
For that reason we earnestly plead
for a compromise, to divide the
county half and half, and the close
vote shows that this would have
been fair division. A large ma
iority of the people favored such
action"
