ROOSEVELT THE
COASTS BEST
FRIEND

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14-The
Pacific coast states have not as yet
begun fully to realize how severe
were the body blows they received
when Roosevelt made it certain he
would not be a third-term candi-
date.
He is more in sympathy with the
west than any man that ever occu-
pied the presidential chair. He UNI
derstands local conditions in Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington
more perfectly than the general
public of these states realize.
From the day he took office
Roosevelt stood resolutely between
the greedy congressional represen-
tatives of western railroads and
the best interests of the people.
1t must be understood that al
most the entire Pacific coast con-
gressional delegatlon-particularly
from California-is influenced by
the Southern Pacific.
BY not letting it be widely her
aided that he was protecting Cali
Aoihio lioii tHio poWCilui poiitiCdi
coterie, the president has been able
to get results without arousing the
enmity of the S. P. politicians.
ST. r. as all the world knows,
likes fight, and he has won many
one for the Pacific coast states
that they knew nothing about. His
recent action in turning down Per-
kins and Knowland in the Berkeley
postoffice matter is only one in
stance that became public in which
Roosevelt showed he was president
and not the Southern Pacific.
Pres. Roosevelt handled the
japanese question with perfect d.
plomacy. He prevented war
when Japan was ready to strike at
any moment. For the president to
leave the White House before he
has settled the immigration ques-
ton Is severe blow in itself to
the Pacific slope.
Roosevelt has worked hard and
patiently for the adequate fortifica-
ton of the Pacific coast. If con-
gress fails to appropriate money

most disappointed man in Washing
ton.
Without saying word, publicly,
the president urged investigation
of the S. P.'s rebating methods.
and will see that the prosecution Is
completed during his administra.
ton.
He stands for the Improvement
of the waterways of the west be-
cause he believes their use will
make the railroads come to time.
Railroad regulation Is his hobby.
The unseen hand that operated
the wires behind the San Francisco
graft investigation. and the timber
and coal land cases, was that of
Theodore Roosevelt
Where does the president get his
great insight into Pacific coast con-
dtions?
Some Of his information comes
from Pres. Wheeler of the Univer-
sity of California. Some from
Francis J. Heney The rest comes
rfom--well not from the Southern
Pacific, that's certain.

Special Correspondence to The Press

special Correspondence to The Press
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. A.
Now comes the sugar trust with
the weirdest plan yet presented
for the solution of the Japanese i'm
migration question.
1t proposes that the japanese
government prevent the immigra-
ton of coolies to the United States,
and that in return for this conces-
sion We permit free trade between
the Philippines and Japan.
Representatives of the trust have
caused their plan to be aired in
Washington as the view of Baron
Kaneke. The trust does not want
the public to understand it is at all
interested.
Allied with the trust in this are
all the sugar beet states. 1t may
seem long jump from sugar to i'm.
migration, but interested observers
establish close connection.
The sugar interests fear the re.
duction or abolition of duty on
Philippine products coming into
the United States. This would
mean that the price of sugar to
consumers would be cut at least

Unsual things often happen on
the ball field that are responsible
for winning and losing games.
Sometimes these strange happen
ings come at the beginning of the
contest. Other times they will put
In their appearance along about the
middle of the battle, but more often
they bob up at the most critical
stage of the proceedings.
Larry Lajoie can hit ball hard
err, when it is about q foot away
from the plate than when the ball
splits the heart of the rubber
Many is the long drives Larry
has made in this way. He seems
to get a better swing and meet the
ball harder, when it Is pitched out
side.
Because of his hitting ability he
is often given his base on balls at
a time when a hit is liable to breaS
up the game.
He once won a game against Bos
ton in this manner. 1t was during
the last few weeks of the 1904 sea
son when Griftlths Highlanders
and Collins team were having a
neck and neck struggle.
Cleveland played New York three
games and won two, tying the 9th
err, and "Griff" was frantic as he
left for Detroit.
Boston came next, and the game
developed intoa pitching duel.
In Boston's half of the eighth II

Flick singled.
Larry was the next man up. Cri.
ger, who was catching. was sure Ell.
mer would try to steal.
He, accordingly, signaled Gibson
for waste ball. Flick stayed on
the bag. Criger again called for a
waste ball and this time Elmer
went. Larry saw him going and
slapped the ball into the right field
bleachers for a home run, giving
Cleveland two runs. one more than
enough to win.

the ninth the score stood at thee
each.
The southpaws were getting bet
ter every period, and it seemed the
game might go to any number of
extra innings before one club

run.
Cleveland failed to score in the
10th. The first two men were
quickly disposed of by Hess. Harry
Davis was next and Otto, trying to
make him hit bad ball, got in a
hole, until the count stood three
and one.
The next ball he pitched seemed
high and wide. The umpire called

down his bat and started for first,

the next ball Hess pitched he hit a
