coRPoRATIoNs AND PoLITIcs.

n UARREl.S among the leaders of the New
&G York Legislature have resulted in dis
closures of crookedness and rottenness and the
blasting of regulations The lid has been
partly lifted at Albany, and Governor Hughes
and President Taft are insisting that it shall be
taken clear off no matter who may be hurt So
far the disclosures have involved a former
United States Senator, a departed Speaker OF
tho Assembly a former Chairman OF the Repub-
lican State Committee and several legislators.
How many more may be caught in the unsavory
mess only complete investigation will show,
and it looks as il there would be such an inquiry.
OF course there arc objections, and those who
believe they will be implicated are trying 10
block the further inserting OF the probe.
The inquiry far has shown the reason OF
the opposition to the legislative program Of
Governor Hughes why many things that he
advocated were relegated TO the rear. Some OF
the political leaders are crying that If the matter

The disclosures at Albany are the result of a
crooked alliance between political leaders and
corporations that seek special favors from the
state. The corporations complain that they arc
blackmailed into putting up money for political
purposes, that If they DO not respond to the de-
mands for money. they will be harassed by unfair
legislation. But it seems to lis that there should
be little danger of that Years ago il was Gus
tomary for the railroad company in this state to
distribute passes and other favors among the
faithful The company has stopped this prac-
tce but we have not noticed that its interests
have suffered in the slightest.
The best thing for corporations to do is to
stand on their merits TO keep clear of political
entanglements. The people in legislation want
fair play for the public service corporations and
in return they should have fair play from them.

CAN M'GU|RE PUT
MAPS IN RUNNING?
Cleveland Fans Hope for Near
Pennant Team This
Season.
LAJoIE FREE FROM CARE
FORMER MANAGER SHIFTED TO
INITIAL SACK.
LAJoIE FREE FROM CAR

Can Jim MCGUIRE and Larry Lajoie
make winner out Of the Cleveland club
for the season Of 1910? There is one point
IN favor Of this combination. This spring
their team isn't being touted as q sure
world beater. For several seasons past
the Cleveland club has been looked upon
as the team that had to be figured against
by anyone who had real designs on the
American league pennant. A few years
ago Cleveland was feared as a team of
sluggers and had to be counted on. AS
general thing the club would go along
until July /, and then would come the
slump, caused by injuries to a great ex-
tent, that would put the club out Of the
race. But this year Cleveland is being
overlooked chiefly because of the misera-
bic showing of 1909, when Lajoie threw
up his job as manager in disgust and
Deacon Jim Mcguire took the helm. I'M
der these conditions, will the rule work the
other way2
Far from being peeved at the fact that
he did not make a success as a manager,
Lajoie is jumping in with greater en-
ergy than ever. Because Terry Turner
arm Is hardly strong enough to allow him
to play short, and because George Stoyali
is going back somewhat LaJoie is being
played at first this season. Some OF the
wise ones are making cracks that LaJoie
is too old to switch positions and learn
to play first. But, as a matter OF fact,
he broke into big leagues as q first
sacker with the Philadelphia Nationals.
With Nap. at first and Turner at second,
the right side Of the infield is Wen taken
care Of.
Nichols at Short.
Nichols is the player who now seems
favored for the shortstop position with

THEY ALL MUST
MAKE LOW WEIGHT
WOIgaSt, a Natural 133-Pound
Man, Will Insist on That
Weight.

Chicago. Apr. 2i-''Wolgast is a small
er man than the present limit OF the class,
and sees no reason why the weight should
be raised TO suit few who cannot do 1873
pounds at the present time. We would
rather see the limit placed at 100 if it
could be. VIII stick to the figures estab-
lished by Nelson. Never offered to go in
at higher weight excepting for McFar-
land, and that was a special case. Would
not do it now for him. Plenty big money
in sight; both of US anxious to get farther
east"
This was the telegram Thomas Edward
Jones, now a worlds champion manager,
slipped in response to one asking him for
a statement regarding Wolgast's position
on the weight question.
Only a glance at WOlgasts statement
made through Jones is necessary to show
that Packey Mcfarland and the rest of
the inflated ightweights and near wei
ters can have No hope at all of getting
a crack at the new 133- pound champion.
Further than this. Jones goes out of his
way thinking perhaps the Mcfarland
case would be of most interest to Chi
cago, to state that Packey had mis- chance
once and would not get another. But 1t
was no fault of Netherlands that he
didn't fight WOlgast then. 1t Just hap
pened that things didn't break right, that
was all.
Wolgast, it is known, is a much lighter
man, just as Jones says, than the class
calls for. He might not be in San Fran
cisco, which is the hardest place in the
world, it is said, for fighter 10 reduce.
But in almost any other spot in the
world. if WOlgast is no bigger now than
he was six months ago, he can do 125
pounds and be as strong as little tiger.
