SENATOR TILLMAN
REPLIES TO TAFT.


Washington, January 20:-When
|. Seaator Tilhnan heard today that
Pcesident.e Iect Taft had made Il
speech in Augusta, i'll which he re-
fer-ed to pubic men who were lack
ing in sympathy for the negroes IL
Their efforts 20 secure an education,
aht- 5ecame thoroughly aroused, and
did cot hesitate to express his opin-
ion, saying: ''This is directly trace
able to the misstatements and mali
cious editorials emanati1g from the
~ leading newspapers in South
Carolina, in which my attitude was
not correctly stated.
''Iu the first place | am not op-
posed to negro education at all, pro-
yiGed it is Of the right kind, know
ing that education increases the
Intelligence and usefulness of the
citizen. What | said aud meant,
and by which l stick, is this: That
the Republican policy of the last
forty years has been to compel the
South TO recognize the political
| equality of the negro. That in its
essence would mean the domination
of the negro in South Carolina and
mississippi, and many parts of other
Southern States.
ave have disfrauchised every
negro we could under the fifteenth
amendment and the only instrumen-
tallty available was to require an
educational qualification. There is
now an agitation in South CaroliuI
for compulsory education. That
I would mean a heavy burden to pro-
vide more schools, which the white
taxpayers would have to bear, and
there could be no discrimination
against the negro on account of race
or color. Hence we would present
the spectacle of educating the negro
at very heavy expense to hurry
forward the contest for supremacy
between the two races as soon as We
| should have given them the neces'
sary qualifications to vote, and be
lndoing what we found necessary

ave never intend to be governed

ucated. The Republican party Is
seeking to debauch the South
ough Mr. Taft, who offers us two

oulation, and Il pretended adj
ncement of our material interests

Thursday.
DEAN BURTON Is HERE
Arrived In the City Late Last .ven-
ing After Strenuous Trip For
Two Days From the
West.

The Keokuk ball players went TO
Hubinger park this morning with the
intention of putting in a good days
practice, for there was faint smile
observable on the face of Spa" Belt.
The weather of yesterday left the
ball diamonds in rather bad condition,
but the team i in need of practice so
bad that there was nothing to it but
to go out.
Dean Burton arrived from the far
west last evening very late and was
feeling rather unsettled after his
hard trip of the past two days. He
slept late this morning and will need
little more rest before he is fitted
for stiff practice. Burton is the out
fielder who has had considerable in
dependent ball experience and comes
to Keokuk well recommend.
A practice game will probably be
played with the local high school
team during the week, and the game
should be good for both teams, es-
pecially for the high school men.
Thursday Rock Island will come
for the first exhibition game of the
season and Belt expects 20 have a
team ready to meet the Three-I league
bunch. All of the pitchers will be
given an opportunity of showing
their skill in the first few exhibition
games and local fans will watch the
work with interest.
Belt expects his wife and children
to arrive this evening and they will

Biggsyille will come to Keokuk on
May s to take part in the Tri-State
track meet with the expectation of re-
turning home with the handsome low
ing cup and a number of medals.
Biggsville finished second last year
and word has been received here that
the team is 100 per cent. stronger than
at that time. This news comes from
Biggsville's own camp and the team is
favored at this early date, if any fav-
oritism or prediction can he handled
out.
In all six High schools Of three
states, Iowa Illinois and Missouri has
sent word that they will be represent
ed by track teams and will make a
strong bid for honors which Quincy
won last year. Quincy, last years
winners, has sent no reply to the in
vitation sent the school, but it is
thought a team will represent that
school, Eaton, the star athlete who
won many points for Quincy at last
years meet is not In school this year.
Other men will be on hand to take his
place
Sallander. the crack distance runner
of FIT. Madison, who was thought by
some to be the strongest half mile man
in the state last year, is attending col
lege and will be unable to represent
the nearby town this year. However,
word has been received from that place
that several athletes will take part in
the athletic games.
La Harpe will again send several
pole vaulters and high jumpers and the
! Illinois athletes are expected to cut
into the points and upset the dope
keokuk to Make Effort.
Track athletes at the Keokuk High
have attracted little attention since
relay team won many points both in
and out of the city. It was then that
track was given the preference over
/ baseball but during the past season
little was done in this field.
This season followers of the game
are glad to learn that the work is
again to be taken up, and although
very little can be promised, the team
is expected to figure in the coming Tri
State meet.
Van Hayden, one of the promising
young track athletes, has been chosen
captain of the team, and promises te
call track practice some time this
week. 1t is thought that fair sized
number of candidates will report fol
the initial workout. The school has
the citys backing in the revival of track
work and it is hoped that this branch
tof school athletics be continued.

| Island Argus.
| There has long been a tradition
| among athletes that no man is ever
| himself again after an operation.
| Several instances of stock character
who failed to come back after sub
hitting themselves to the surgeons
knife. Often, convinced by this line
of argument, men have postponed
operations that were undoubtedly adj
visable, until time when the hos
pital assignment was accompanied
with far greater danger than would
have been the case had prompt action
been taken. But the Tigers have at
least four exemplars of the theory
that operations, professionally per-
formed and at the time when needed,
do not impair players effectiveness,
but do considerably improve 1t. Per-
haps the most prominent example of
this condition is furnished by Her
man Schaefer, the teams captain. For
several years Schaefer fought against
hemorrhoids until, in 1907, his trou-
BILE became so acute that he was out
OF the game for a considerable por-
ton of the season. That winter
Schaefer was operated on. He came
through nicely, played the best game
of his life in 1908, earned $500 in
crease in salary and has never been
bothered with his old complaint since.
In 1906 Davy Jones, the Tigers nifty
outfielder, slid to base in Philadel-
phia and was forced to throw himself
around an infielder in such way as
to suffer serious rupture of the
abdominal wall 1t was genuinely
feared that Davy's ball playing days
were over. He came back to Detroit
and instead of fussing around with
mechanical devices, underwent an
operation straightway. The next year
Davy was in shape. When McIntyre's
injury put him out of it, Jones went to
left field, where he played 125 games,
averaging nearly run game, field
ing his position with consummate
skill and playing mighty part in the
winning OF the Tigers first pennant.
He is now as good as new and never
thinks of favcring the side which was
once injured. During his first year
with the team, Wade Killifer was
stricken several times with tonsilitis.
His trouble was diagnosed as chronic
and the Paw Paw boy advised to I'm.
dergo an operation. He did SO, missed
only few days from practice and has
never had tonsilitis since natural
condition when one recalls the fact
that he has now no tonsils, anyhow
Ty Cobb suffered serious strain in
| 19o6-his first year starting with the
Tigers. He kept playing and, when
finally sent to the hospital, was in
such shape that very delicate opera
/ ton had to be performed. Ty came
out of it in fine shape and lived to be
crowned beyond question the best
1 player in the fastest league in tht
world. Perhaps the Tigers have beer
lucky, but their experiences all go t.
show that an ordinary operation, whef
plainly advisable, will not hurt thell
baseball skill or injure their earnins
capacity in their chosen profession
