SPOR TS
BACK TO THE BUSH LEAGUE
ny C. p McDONAID.

BY c. P. MCDONALD. Tt is truly quite amusing. All this talk about my losing Speed; and those reports I'm boozine
 Are the merest tommyrot! Though they say I'm overrated, Going back and dissipated. I am feeling much elated,
 For I know that I'm not. Why they take this wrong position Relative to my condition I have not the least suspicion.
 For I'm vigorous and strong; With the best of them I'll mingle, Clouting out timely single. And you'll hear the merry Jingle
 Of the ball and club ere long. NO man on the field Is quicker To condemn the demon liquor. And this year I'll be a sticker-
 One of whom they'll all be proud At the ump l shall not prattle. Though I fight a losing battle; 1 shall simply smile. and thatll
 Win the plaudits of the crowd!"
 Through the blinds the sun came
 beaming.
 Breaking in upon his dreaming From his bed he bounded screaming Like a tortured. wounded beast. And his thoughts were agonizing As he stood there. exercising Evil thughts-scarce -~Sealizing
 Yesterday he'd been released.

A NEW CENSUS BILL
PASSAGE OF MEASURE AT SPECIAL
 SESSION PREDICTED.
MT. Crumpacker of Indiana, Who Pre- pared New Bill, Believes 1t VIII Meet With Taft's
 Approval.

Washington, March 9.-The passage of new census bill during the spe- cial session to take the place of the
 measure vetoed by President Roose- welt, previous to his retirement from office, Is confidently predicted by its friends in Congress.
 Representative Crumpacker of In-
 diana. who prepared the new measure. b believes 1t will not only meet with the approval of the special session of Congress, but will receive the sigma ture of President Taft. The plan for
 the selection of clerks by non-com-
 petitive examinations. as provided for
 in the vetoed bill. has been abandoned.
 Judge Crumpacker has sought to ap- ply the merit system of selection. modi- fled to meet the exigencies of the cen-
 sus work. The new bill provides for special test examinations prescribed
 by the civil service commission. The
 selection would differ from the ordin- ary selection under the civil service in that the director of the census. when the exigencies of the service require, give preference to eligibles immedi- ately available, instead of selecting the appointees according to rating as is otherwise provided.
 The language of section ', to which President Roosevelt objected. read as follows:
 "Section That the additional clerks and other employees provided for in section six shall be subject to such special test examination as the director of the census may prescribe. the said examination to be conducted by the United States civil service com mission, the examination to be open to all applicants without regard to political party affiliations. Copies of the eligible registers so established and the. examination papers of all elig- fbles shall be furnished the director of the census by the civil service com mission and selections therefrom shall he made by the director of the census without regard to the law of appor- tionment in order of rating, providing, however. that when the exigencies of the service require, preference may be given to persons having previous ex- perience in census work whose ef- ficiency records are satisfactory to the said directors. who may in his discre- tion accept such records in lieu of said examination"
 In the vetoed bill the beginning of this section read:
 That the additional clerks and oth- CT employees provided for in section six shall be subject to such non compet- itive examination as the director of the census may prescribe. the said ex- arpination to be conducted by the Unit ed States civil service commission. pro- vided, that they shall be selected without regard to the law of appor- tionment or to the political party af- hlfations of the applicants"

MT. Hnrrlmnn,s propo.ea E.t.n.,o,.

The Central of Georgia extensions as planned out would call for about 250 miles of track in the gap between An dalusla and the Illinois Central, and about 100 miles Of new track between Alexander City and Union Springs, The Genital of Georgia would then be ready for the opening of the Panama Cana or for any other event. especially if its line be extended to Pensacola
 The possibilities of these extensiors are greatly promoted by the fact tha. they would cross territory that has no railroads and that has vast forests of southern pine; The needs of the teri building of the proposed extensions.
 The proposed extensions would go far toward completing the railroad svs. tenn of State that has no County without raiload connection with ali the railroads In the land. Choctaw1 went railroadless longer. than the other six. . ty-six counties did, but Choctaw now room In the State for more railroads and the filling of the gaps in the Cen. tral of Georgia system would he wei comed. The State. needs this linking np nearly as much as the Central of Georgia does NA
