Yes, !Ir. Roosevelt made speech at
the New York convention, but the
standpatters made the platform. Query
Which is the more important to
make, speech or secure the platform?
A speech is good insofar as it is ac-
cepted, but it is not binding on any one
except the one who delivers 1t; while a
platform IS binding on all who stand

The VIRGINIA Dent


1t seems to be impossible to "smoke
out" Attorney General ConIey and
Special Counsel Dawson on the SUBJ
ject Of the Virginia debt. 1t is a ques-
ton which there is well founded
suspicion thst the state adninistre-
ton is not very anxious to discuss. 1t
was the hope and expectation that
final arguments in the case would be
made before the November election,
but it will be recalled that when the
case came up in the United States SUI
preme court several days ago, 1t was
postponed ON the motion Of West Vir-
ginia's attorney general. The taxpay-
ers OF West Virginia, who are strongly
suspicious that they will ne called
upon to pay ten million dollars or
more OF debt Of which they have al
ways heretofore held that they do not
owe single cent, are to be kept in the
dark concerning the present status OF
The case, and certain matters in con-
nectiou with 1t which they would like
to know.
There have been so many rumors
connecting certain high officials and
pomlnent citizens with an interest in
decision against West Virginia, that
it would seem to be the proper course
to publish list OF West Virginia citi-
zens who are now, or who have been
in the past, holders Of The 6ebt certi
ricates. If su n list can be obtained,
1t ought to be made public.
The taxpayers of the state have
learned, through their representatives
in the legislature. that those who have
West Virg MAS interests in hand in
the pending suit, assured the state
law makers ia secret meeting called
for that purpose, that there was little
or no likelihood of decision against
this state. That was in 1908, and to-
day 1t seems to be an accepted fact
that Wet Virginia will be held liable
for part Of the debt ofthe mother state,
and the oaly doubt appears TO center
in the question of ''how much?'
There is another circumstance which
many persons regard as having beaI-
ing OH the case-the enormous increase
IN the assessed value of property I'M
der the new system of taxation. 1t may
have been accident, or it may hive
l.. 1.
fact stands out boldly that the present
valuations Of property in West Vlr-
glnia are peculiarly adapted to the
levying OF direct special tax for the
purpose of raising money to pay off
the Virginia debt. The people would |
like to know whether there is a likeli- |
hood of such levy being made. Re-

The Mechanics slugged their way to a 10-7 victory over New Britain at Newfield Saturday before a crowd of over 300 fans. The Speed Boys got after Moore. a Pittsburg recruit, in the first inning for three hits and two runs. Brown worked for the Avia- tors after the first inning, being hit hard in almost every session The Mechanics sewed up in the fifth when with the aid of five hits, a promenade and wild throw, five runs clattered across the dish. Freddie Gibbs pitched the full game for the Mechanics do- ing we'll up to the sixth when two runs were scored on two hits and two err TOTS. In the seventh the Aviators on four hits, two of them three bag gers. gathered three runs. Gibbs tight ened up on the eight and ninth hold ing the invaders safe. The Mechan- ics hit quite freely.

BETTING FAVORS CRIMSON IN
 BIG BOAT RACE
Especial from United Press.)

tSpcC1dl ITOI OHlL0Q HI6SS.l
 New London, June 2.-With only three days left for practice for their annual tussle on the Thames, the liar yard and Yale crews began their fin al grinds today. At Red Top the opinion prevails that the Harvard crews will repeat their performance of a year ago and take all three races. In the Yale quarters however the be- lief is expressed that the blue crews are the best ever.
 The betting So far favors Harvard and even money wagers are being of fered that the crimson wins all three races. The odds on Harvard for the varsity eight are 3 to 2, with practi- cally no Yale money in sight. This feeling of confidence at Harvard is explained by the fact that every man in the Harvard boat is a veteran on the water while the Yale boat has only two members of last years varsity crew. a crew that was beaten by five lengths by the Harvard men.
 The Blue oarsmen seem to realize that a reptition of last years sorry showing against Harvard will just about remove her from being classed as a serious aquatic rival of Harvard and the thought is anything but plea sant, in view of Yale's glorious record of former years on the water.
 One thing that is giving Yale men hope is the opinion of several experts who have seen the Yale boat in action. They hint at an upsetting of the dope in the big race after Thursday and say the Yale crew is as good as has come out of New Haven in a nmber of years.
 Both coaches have guarded against a possible collapse by putting their men through strenuous workouts and there is no longer any doubt as to the ability of the big crews to go the four miles at top speed.

The Mechanics put through one of their best weeks during the past seven days. winning four out of six games played, and again crawling into first place.

 It was a great week for the batters, 39 hits being made in the last three games. Every one of the Mechanics has found his average soaring.

JOHNSON LOSING WEIGHT AND GROWING IRRITABLE:
 "JEFF' IN GREAT SHAPE
Final Week of Training Ushered in at Reno Finds Both Fighters
 on Edge-Nego Shows Signs of Nervous Strain
(BY Tip Wright.)

Johnson's Training Quarters, Kicks Resort, Reno, New, June 27.-ln con- trast to the near-indifference shown by Jeffries yesterday in refusing to Springs from Reno, the activity in this camp yesterday and today was almost feverish despite the broiling hot sun which beat down upon John son and his training staff. The negro got out early today despite the heat and did seven miles on the road, ap- parently determined to make the fin al week of his training the fastest and best of all. He will box and go through his other stunts this after noon especially devoting himself to footwork and doing clinching and roughing it.
 Everybody in this camp was "all in" when work ended yesterday. Un- der a broiling sun Johnson ran eight miles on the road and then played with the medicine ball for an hour, winding up with eight fast rounds of boxing with Kaufman, Mills and Cot ton. In spite of the demand to speed it up," however, many of the close observers declare that Johnson while apparently working hard, is doing his work in slovenly manner. There was a sort of laziness in the blacks work that many commented on and genuine earnestness seemed lacking.
 The approach or the Ody OI Iue fight has its effect on Johnson the same as it has on Jeffries. He Is fdgety and is becoming irritable. AS Johnson feared, and as reported by the United Press a few days ago, the unfavorable spot, where his camp is located, is making him lose weight. His weight manager today announced that Jack tips the beam at POS. That he will be much lighter when he en- ters the ring than he expected to be, is the general conclusion among sporting men here and wise ones of the ring say he will be under 200 pounds when he goes in.
 There is vague talk today of an- other row between Johnson and some of his trainers. The belligerents this time are reported to be Johnson and Sig Hart, the man on whose account the black "canned" George Little. Both men deny the quarrel but the talk of a serious breach will not down.

Jeffries Training Camp, Moans Springs. Reno, New. June 27.-Witt the battle of the century, now only seven days away, signs of nervousness are beginning to show among the men in Jeffries' camp. and for the next an awful workout. Everybody is or edge in this camp. That Jeff is iI fine shape is admitted, but his plan of battle and how to take care of him during the next week are giving the trainers infinite concern. Although Jeff has not declared himself. the gen. eral opinion is that he is going to fight his own fight and that he will listen to no word of advice while he is in the ring unless it is the word of Corbett when danger seems to threaten. Each night now the entire training camp gets together to discuss matters and particularly the matter of picking sec onds. but up to date the trainers are no nearer a decision than they were at Rowardennan. Corbett, Burns. and Choynski will be in Jeffries' corner, but what their functions will be is not yet known.
 Jeffries seems to be entirely care free. but as the day for the beginning of the trying out' process approaches he is bothering himself a bit. His moods are becoming changeable. He frets if what he had planned is not QQIChly dIQ II AS IS crossed he lets out a terrific growl. Sunday was another day of rest for Jeff. He was up with the larks and even before breakfast he planned for his favorite fishing companions for whom he sent his automobile. In- stead of working in the afternoon the fishing bag crowd took a chance with the heat and drove out here, jumped into his automobile and remained away until evening.
 'Jeffries was entertained by ball game during their absence. Jim Cor bett pitched for the Jeffries team and was knocked all over the lot. His team played the newspaper men. The score was to 3. Captain Scott of the State Rangers with six men arrived last night and today began to lay plans to suppress anything that looks like trouble. Rooting will not be per mitted and any spectator indulging in unseemly remarks will be elected.
 Jimmy Coffroth gumshoed around the ring today. having arrived last night. What his mission is no one knows and Jim's only explanation is that he came over to demonstrate that it is possible to come and go in one day"

 Worcester, June 27-"James J. Jeff fries is going to knock out Johnson in 20 rounds' This is the dictum here of Oliver c. Mettler, clairvoyant who says he has the dope hot from the spirit world. My guiding spirit has been in the other world hundreds of years" Mettler says, "and he tells me that Jeffries will win in about the 20th round. The scene of the battle will be filled with excitement, a wran- gle at the time of the fight or inn mediately after. There will be cries of fake and Johnson will have to hustle to escape more harm than Jeff fries will have administered to him. There will be a wave of opposition sweep over the country based on the supposition that Johnson has volun- tarily allowed Jeffries to defeat him. But this will not be founded on facts. Johnson will do his best to defeat his adversary but he will not be success full"
