JOHNSON TO DO SOME
SPEEDING WITH PAGER

San Francisco, May 13.-Just to
prove to Tex Richard and others CON
cerned regarding his safety for the
next two months that an automobile
is not the only means of travel. Jack
johnson is doing some of his speed
ing along the park boulevards behind
little Dick, local PAGER. who has been
loaned to him for the occasion by one
of his friends. The idea came to the
fighter when one of the newspaper
ph~otograDhers saw the ring in front
of his training quarters and suggest
cd that he would like a picture or so.
Johnson agreed to the picture idea
and after that was over remarked thar
he would like to take a turn up the
road.
Go ahead said the owner. who is
Johnson's admirer "and YOU can have
him out here every morning or after
noon il YOU want
The rides viii not be that frequent.
but Jack declared his intention of
going out beside the side wheeler
three times "a week at the very least.
Il want TO tell Won Mr.. Richard.
he said to Tex When the latter was
warming the negro not to be so care
less. that's an a mistake about my
being reckless. know what this
fight means To me. and when ! ana
training for a fight there is no one
more careful than | am. OF course !
am goine to ride around in my ma
chine because it is "a pleasure. but
there will be nothing reckless about
my driving and you will have no rea-
son 10 be worried over me"
The routine of a twelve mile grind
along the roads in the forenoon may
rot be palling to Johnson. hut it has
proved sufficiently monotonous for
the fighter To- change his route. This
morning. for example. he took Barney
Furey with him over an entirely new
course.
For one thing I wanted q change,
said JohnIon in explanation. "and
for another I wanted to test my wind
thoroughly. The hills CAV me that
chance and now I am sure Of my con-
diuon. My wind was the one thing
that 7 had an idea might need nurs-
ing. but ] came back to he quarters
after a twelve mile trip without blow
ing in the least
About the noon hour Johnson took
"a nap and late in the afternoon about
{ O'Clock he played baseball for the
/ edification OF the crowd that had ga
! thcred to see what he looked like.

COUNTY POLITICS QUIET.

The voters of Chelan county are
showing an unusual amount of in
telligence by discouraging the rise
of a bitter campaign over county
politics. Voters nowadays look
upon county offices as mere clerical
positions, and so long as the occu-
pants of them do satisfactory work,
they don't care whether they are
democrats, republicans, prohibs,
pops, or suffragists. About the most
senseless thing is to see lot of men
work themselves up into a white
heat over the question of who shall
do clerical work for the county.
under way to put postmasters of the
second and third class under the
civil service and thus let their con-
tinuance in Office depend on eff
cheney and not be subject to changes
in national administration. The
patron of the postoffice is more in
tereSted In getting a letter delivered
promptly and accurately than he is
in knowing whether the postmaster
believes in infant damnation or
grace 1t would be just as senseless
to turn a county official who is do
ing satisfactory work out of office
for trivial reason as for a private
business concern to discharge an eff
ficient employe because of his reli-
gious or political opinions. Business
concerns don't do this kind of thing.
County business is just as important
a sprivate business and the public is
beginning to recognize this fact
more and more.

/. w. w. Leads the Fashions.

Fashions whims and vagaries pass
all understanding and no explana-
ton can be given for the reason that
has brought the notorious red neck
tie of the 1. w. w. into the most ex
elusive circles. That the case Is so
is attested by G. B. Lanham, an east
ern apple buyer here from Chicago
Noticing his red necktie, Wenat-
chees police were keeping him in
dubious consideration, although his
otherwise faultless appearance, SO
much at variance with the scarf in
carnadine, perplexed them.
Confiding their suspicious to a
Daily World sleuth, an explanation
quickly came. Said sleuth found the
suspected Nihilist at the Great Nor
thern hotel surrounded by peaceful
citizens.
Explaining that the latest fashion
in Chicago decreed the wearing of
the insignia carried by such of the
Industrial Workers of the World
who wear red neckties, Mr.. Lanham
quickly relieved what, for a time,
was a tense situation.
1t is said that President Taft, In
Gle Joe Cannon, and many others
who figure in the highest circles,
openly flaunt the CORY symbol.

some excerpts from the addresses:
THE farmer instead of profiting by
the prevalent high prices of foodstuf
which he produces Is making less
money now than he did under the
regime of low prices.
'"rhe most important force for the
welfare Of the nation yet to come is
the landowners Of America when Or
ganized. Their organization Is not
only important to themselves, but i'm
portant to the consumers. whose. cost
Of living Is too high. 1t is not the
prices the farmers receive that make
living expenses so high. The high cost
Of living is largely chargeable to the
dealers profits made between the
| farmers and the consumers"

has. been heavy smoker of strong.
black cigars and partly because OF
that has had very irritable throat.
He has been a frequent sufferer from
laryngitis.
The kings previous serious illness
was in April, 1909. when he was re-
ported to have suffered q slight apo
plectic stroke at Biarritz, in the south
Of France. where he had been some
time for his health. Up TO that time
rumors Of his failing health, current
some years ago. had been lost sight of
in view of his more recent activity.
This was especially noticeable in the
summer Of 1908, when he made an of
fetal visit to the car Of Russia In ad-
dition to attending to the many duties
Of his position in England. The prin-
cipal task of King Edward during that
year was TO act as peacemaker be-
tween disputing nations. particularly
to prevent an outbreak of war in the
Balkans.
In February. 1909. he made visit
to Emperor William of Germany and
after returning to England and open
ing parliament left for his annual visit
to BiaYritz. Soon after his arrival 1t
was reported that he was gravely ILL.
and on March 10 there was startling
rumor that he had been assassinated.
Dispatches from London and Paris
Of that date. however, stated that
there was no confirmation of the re-
ports from Biarritz that King Edward
was seriously Ill.
The recent agitation against the
house of lords. with the consequent po-
Htical crisis, is believed to have wo0.
ried the king considerably. ~
