DETROIT, March 27.-Tyrus
Raymond Cobb stands about as
much chance to get that $4,000 con-
tract for three years as an armless

cactus trees, says the Detroit Jour-

answered his letter which bore the
news that he would not sign the
contract offered and stating his
terms. Ten to one Cobb is rushing

with the postmaster for not giving
him a letter from Navin that he
used to raise with the negro walters
when the club was on the road last
season. The club officials haven't
had a worry about Cobb. They ara
determined to let him do all the
worrying, and there is every indica-
ton that he is doing it good and
plenty.

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

Among the things that retard
complete recovery from the effects
Of the panic is cited the political
situation. A presidential year is
notably bad business year, espe-
cially when there is to be any dis
turbance In the tariff, as seems like
Is from the agitation now being
urged for revision of the schedule.
In addition to the tariff, the attitude
OF labor in its demands for certain
reforms through political sources Is
making a further apprehension.
This phase of the matter is amply
treated in the recent letter sent out
by Henry Clews, where he says:
''The most disturbing issue In the
stock market is the political outlook.
The presidential campaign is grow
ing In Intensity and more or less un-
certainty is inevitable until the
nominations can be ascertained. The
attempt of labor to secure through
the president exemption from opera.
fion OF the Sherman act and to make
itself a privileged class is absurd
and untenable. Whoever are respon'
sible for this movement, their judg'
ment is at fault and their conduc'
unwise.
''Such class legislation will never
be accepted in the United States
and its advocacy simply further di
minishes the sympathy and respec
for the cause OF labor. Labor had al
ready secured its full share OF tn
prosperity which eliminated Il
1907, and its refusal to take 1t
share Of adversely. coupled with 1t
determination to make itself a priv
legged class, IL simply placing itsel
beyond the reach of reasonable dis
cussion."

for their particular line.
The lawn tennis players, the golf
ers, the oarsmen, tie rifiemen ana
such others for whom competitions
will be held must do their part to-
ward creating interest and provid-
ing the money to send their teams
abroad. Up to this time those who
are interested in track and field ath-
letics have done about all the work,
and the money subscribed to date,
some $4,000, can be traced to the
efforts being made to send as strong
an athletic team to London as went
to Athens in 1906, when the Olym-
pic championship was won by the
United States. The amount required
for the general fund Is $4,000.
Judging from the reports abroad
lawn tennis will hold a forwari
place in the Olympia, and 1t has
been suggested even that the con
test for the Davis cup. which Wen
to Australia last season, be delayed
year, so as not to detract iron

JOCKEY MATERIAL IS SCARCE.
American Turf Seems Weak in Good
Riders for Coming Season.

NEW YORK, March 27.-The
American turf is weaker in jockey
material than it has been for some
time. Otherwise Miller, who, bar
ring his quickness at the start, is far
from a finished horseman, could not
have headed the list of winning
Jockeys with 224 victories to his
credit. This year the conditions are
likely to be even worse, as four or
five boys who ranked we'll up last
season may be unable OF secure IL
censes
Among these are Mountain, who
has been under suspension at New
Orleans; Willie Knapp, Radtke, j.
Mcintyre and E. Lynch, a boy who
gave great promise at Oakland. Jack
Martin, too, has decided to give up
riding, it is said, and, no matter
what their faults. may have been.
Mountain, Knapp, Radtke and Mar
tin are riders about the average and
with a far better knowledge of pace
than either Miller or E. Dugan.
Willie Shaw and Tommy Burns
who rode abroad last year, will be
back again and thus help to fill the
gap, and two or three boys develop
ed at the winter tracks, notably V
Powers. who has been riding wei
and stands next to Notter in the lis

GOOD ROADS TALK

One of the issues that have be- come national, as much so as the tariff or finance, an issue that will not down, is that of good roads.
 It is being discussed in a most progressing and promising man. ner in Congress, and out of the multitude of measures introduc- ed mus, eventually come some good.
 There are several membels S who are making a hobby of good roads-and a miQhty good hobby it is, too-and one of them is Senator John H. Bankhead of Alabama, who said, in the course of an address recently made in the Senate on the subject:
 Good roads are avenues of pro gress, the best proof of intelli- gence; they aid the social and religious advancement of the peo- pie; they increase the value of products; they save time, labor and money; they are the initial sources of commerce, which swell in great streams and flow everywhere, distributing the products of our fields, forests and factories. The highways are the common property of the country, their benefits are shar- ed by all, and they are needed by all; they benefit all, and all should contribute to them.
 In this excerpt from his address has been condensed the strong est arguments that may be ad- vanced for the improvements of public highways.
 And further he says in a con- clusion that clinches his argu- ment:

BEER WORSE THAN WHISkEY

If people drank beer as they drink whiskey it would not be as bad for them, but beer drinkers are guzzlers. They are always at it, every day and many times a day. Nature has no chance to mend the injuries done. The al- cohol in peer is just the right quantity and diluted enough to find it's way quickly through the membrane of the stomach into the blood to be carried to every part of the body, cloggling up the liver, rotting his kidneys, de- caying his hear and arteries, stupefying his brain, choking his lungs, loading his body down with unwholesome fat, fastening upon him a variety of painful and sometime disgusting diseases. A life insurance company will not insure the life of a confirm ed beer drinker.
 Scientific men who have n ade beer drinking a careful study confirm these statements. Dr. T. D. Crothes of Hartford, Conn. superintendent O a sanitarium for inebriates, than whom there is no higher authority on alcohol in this country, avs: Tn ap- pearance the bee" drinker may be the picture of health, but in reality he is mos incapable of resisting disease A slight in- jury, severe cold or shock to the body or mind vii commonly pro- yoke acute diseasa, ending fatal ly. Compared 1ith inebriates who use different forms of alco- hol he is more incurable, and more generally diseased. The constant use of heer every day gives the system no time for re- cuperation, but teadily lowers the vital forces.
 The most dar rerous class of tramps and ruffis IS in our large cities are beer drinkers. One half of the suicidns in this coun- try of beer drink ITS. The larg- est percentage of diseases in- herited by children come from er-drinking parents. No coun- try is more alarmed over the ravages of drink than Germany, which is the grea est beer-drink- ing country in tn world and is just now engage, in introducing legislation great restricting the sale of beer. pr k. o.
