It's an awful lot of worry and
an awful lot of work to turn out
poetry without the faintest trace
of jerk. And then to get the
verses set in lines of 10 ems and
to get the right appearance to
our literary gems takes an awful
lot of cussing and explaining to
the lass who sets our type and
gazes oft into the looking glass.
So our good old friend from
Kansas was a benefactor when
he stuck a rhyme or two into his
writing now and then, and turned
out stuff that looked like prose
but jingled all the while, and
gave the public something new
along poetic style. His system
is a daisy and it takes away al
care from the budding county
rhymester who no longer has tC
swear because his dope looks
awkward in long primer, 10 ems
It's now a holy cinch to Spout

Somebody sent this paper a
request to boost James Reed of
Kansas City for United States
Senator. Mr.. Reed is a fine
lawyerand a loyal Democrat; but
it would be suicide for the party
to put forward at such a time
as this so bitter a-factionalist.
Francis of st. Louis would be
far preferable.

An authority advises all young
people to learn how to swim so
that they will not be drowned if
ever they fall from a boat. Prob

have been drowned as people

advice would be to stay away
from deep water.

SPANISH MONARCH
ALMOST A Upton
KIM Came Within an Ace of
Becoming Challenger for
American Cup.
STATE WOES INTERFERED
ALFONSO HAD INVESTIGATED
CONDITIONS COVERING CON-
TEST FOR TROPHY WHEN ALL
OF HIS TROUBLES CAME.

New York. Nov. 24.-But for the re-
cent Socialistic and other troubles in
Spain there might have come chal-
lense for a race for the American cup
from Spain, with the challenging
yacht owned by the king himself
Spain has not as country taken an
active interest in the sport of yacht.
ing until recently, but the king has
raced sender class yachts, and last
summer he had fifteen meter yacht
built from the designs of Fife which
pleased him much and which ne raced
with fair success.
Asked Conditions Of Contest.
According to the Yachting World he
had an idea of challenging for the cup
and went SO far as to make inquiries
about the conditions governing the
trophy contest. Referring to this. the
Yachting World says:
The fact that We have been engag-
ed for over fifty years in a struggle for
America cup honors has tended to
make us little forgetful that we have
no prescriptive right to a monopoly of
the privilege in appearing as challen-
gers for the tropy. In the course Of
time it has come to be the convention
al arrangement that Great Britain
shall challenge and America shall de-
fend
Now. however, the position is un.
dergOing some change. Yacht racing
has been rapidly establishing itself
among the maritime countries of Eu-
rope, and in the natural course of
events it would seem to be but Ques-
ton Of time when some of our Euro
pean colleagues in the sport will
aspire to the honor of figuring in the
greatest and most stubborn contest in
the history of the sport.
Visited Vessel in the Building.
LAS matter of fact. we were with
in reasonable distance of chance OF
seeing a continental challenge issued
for the race next year. During the
building of Hispania its royal owner
displayed extraordinary interest in
the work. He paid many visits to the
building shed. and his admiration for
the boat and his enthusiasm for the
sport led him to open the question OF
the conditions of America cup racing.
Inquiry was made in his behalf as
to whether a vessel designed in Great
Britain but built in Spain would be
eligible as a challenger and the auth.
critics to whom the question was put
could find nothing in the rule to debar
such ship. Whatever chance the
project had of going further was kill
ed by the international troubles in
which his majesty's country shortly
after became involved. but the fact
that the project ever was mooted is
worth putting alongside our tacit as.
sumption that we are the only chal.
lengers.'
