no objection to carrying ont this
plan.
1t is asserted that the present city
council will adopt a resolution and Of
ficially approve of submitting the
question of the existence of saloons
In Roswell to a vote of the people.
The principal objection in the way
of carrying out this plan is the fact,
a matter of law, that the present coun-
Gil has no jurisdiction over the acts
of the council TO be elected this
coming spring. In the event that the
people of Roswell should express their
desire that the aloons be refused
licenses by the coming city council,
tais would be merely an expression
of opinion and nothing more. IL may
be that 1t would nave some effect q
the mex council, and then again
IL might not have the slightest effect.
II would all depend upon the forma-
ton of II next city council. This

What constitutes an amateur in
| athletics Is a problem which has long
bothered the officials of athletic or.
ganizations. and especially those In
authority at colleges and universities
1t has developed bitter controversies
and distinctions have been drawn sc
fine that most people have had diff.
Guilty in recognizing them. Broadly
speaking, every one knows that an
amateur, as distinguished from pro.
fessional, does not compete for money.
But that Is only the beginning of the
story. In the hope of bringing the
leading governing bodies in the ath.
letic world into closer agreement, the
London Olympic committee has sent
out a number Of questions. Can man
be an amateur in one sport and a pro.
fessional In another? Can a man re-
cover amateur standing after once los
Ing 1t? Does man lose amateur
standing through competing with a
professional? Can an amateur receive
oApOhooo! ueS6 are some or the
questions. There ought to be clearly
defined and universally recognized
rales governing amateurism, and 1t Is
hoped the efforts of the London com.
mittee will accomplish something to-.
ward this end In this country how.
ever, there is a feeling that English
standards of amateurism are based too
much on the idea that only the leisure
class is free from a taint of profes
sionalism. This, of course, is too snob
bish for democratic America where
IL Is held that boy who works in
mill or store may nevertheless be
strictly an amateur when he competes
IN games or sports on Saturday after.
noon. There have been many reforms
IN college athletics in recent years
but the problem of amateurism is still
troublesome. There are sharp differ.
ences on the subject of summer base.
Dall, for example, and no doubt under
the guise of expenses there are evils
TO be eradicated at many institutions.
sport for sports sake is the athletic
Ideal, but like many ideals it is ex.
ceedlngly difficult Of attainment.

A MAN WHO MOVED ON"


A youth who, as early in life as he
Is free man, decides to work for
himself" often lays the foundation of
a fortune sooner than his comrade
who is willing to occupy more de-
pendent position. One man, now a
very rich cattleman of Texas, possess
ing lands which are more than suffi-
cient in extent to make German prin-
cipality, owed his Independent Start
in life to an uncomplimentary remark
which his mistress made about him.
The man, who was a poor farmers
boy in Rhode Island before the Civil
War, went to the Southwest to seek
his fortune while he was still callow
youth. But although he was callow
he was extremely long-legged, and
this circumstance won him immedi-
ately the name of Shanghai by
which he was almost exclusively
known to his friends in that part of
the world.
He himself now tells how, on his
arrival in Texas, he went to worl,
for farmer who had several slaves.
There was no one on the place except
Shanghai and negro named Pete
who could ride certain horse, and
1t often fell to Shanghai's lot to
mount this fractions beast. But one
day 1t happened that when Pete was
on the horse, 1t threw him and then
fell on him.
This happened near the planters
house. The planter and his wife and
| several attendants ran out to the as
sistance of the negro, who appeared to
be dead. AS soon as she saw the slave
lying senseless, the woman cried out: (:
20 dear, how unfortunate! There's
an eight-hundred-dollar negro killed,
Now If it had only been Shanghai, 1t
wouldn't have made any difference"
Shanghai was in hearing of this
eminently economic remark, and he at
once said to himself, IF I'm not worth
as much as a negro slave, l guess ri
move on to some place where | can
make myself worth it."
He moved on" to the plains. en-.
gagged at first In small way in the
cattle business, later furnished cattle
In great quantities to the Confederate
army during the war, and eventually
grew very rich.

DR.. Cook has so much trouble over
his trips, that there would seem to
be very little inducement for him to
make another. There is story told
of lawyer who was bad husband,
bad father, bad neighbor and generally
a bad man morally, though he had
been very successful in his profession.
For the funeral new preacher in the
town was selected 30 that he would
not know just what kind of man the
lawyer had been. The preacher eulo-
gized him highly. When he had heard
all he could stand to hear without
unburdening himself to someone pres
ent. the Judge Of the court in that
town leaned over to lawyer who sat
beside him and remarked, well,
there's mighty little inducement for a
really good man to die in Smithville

srs contends that this was not Shake
speare's intention. He holds that II
was the intention of the great bard
Of Avon to give his leisure to care
full revision of his hastily written
plays; but that before he could adjust
his affairs and settle down to work he
was carried to an untimely grave by
sudden illness. The sanitary condi.
tons of the vicinage in Shakespeare's
time were extremely bad, and glori.
Gus life was cut down in its prime
by sharp attack of fever, after only
three days OF Illness. 1t is more sat.
isfactory to think of Shakespeare a.
preparing to begin intellectual work
anew, with better opportunities thar
to think Of him as planning a life OF
ease because competence had been
won. And 1t is almost intoxicating
to imagine what rich additional leg

lect had his life been spared for leis

BURGLARS TOOLS.
Most of Them Made by Supposed,
Respectable Mechanics.

N"ost oi Ihem Made by Supposedly
Respectable Mechanics.
Every little while, said a detective
recently, the police arrest a man with
set of burglars tools in his posses.
sion, and one naturally wonders where
they all come from.
1t is easy to buy a gun of any de-
scription, and the most reputable per-
son would not be ashamed to be seen
purchasing the most wicked-looking
knife ever made. But who would know
where to get a Jimmy" or a device
for drilling into a safe or any of the
many tools used by the professional
burglar in the pursuit of his calling?
There are places in the large cities
where these things are made and sold
to the users, but such places are ex-
ceedingly scarce. 1t may seem little
strange to learn that most of the tools
used In burglaries are made by me-
chanics who are looked upon as re-
spectacle men in the community.
When a burglar wants any particu-
lar tool made he goes to mechanic
who can do the job and pays him per-
haps five times what it is actually
worth for making the tool and keep
ing quiet about it. Many detectives
can recall cases Of this kind that have
come to light
One in particular occurred some
years ago, when an escaped convict
named Williams went to blacksmith
and got him to make lot of drills to
be used in safe cracking. He person,
ally superintended the tempering of
the steel, but when the job was nearly
completed it leaked out, and Williams
was arrested In this instance the
blacksmith knew nothing of the use
to which the tools were to be put.
Most of the tools used by burglars are
secured in the same way-Philadel.

President Lowell. the new head of
Harvard, adopts the current impress
sion of the phase of Shakespeare's
later life when he says In one of his
recent addresses. discussing the inef-
fectiveness Of mere opportunity:
Shakespeare himself did much of his
writing under the pressure Of finish
ing plays for the stage; and even
Shakespeare. when rich enough to re.
tire as country gentleman, wrote
no more" 1t is true that opportunity
does not certainly, or even probably,
produce results in any line of effort.
There are thousands of concrete In.
stances that could be cited to prove
Il. But we do not like to let the view
90 undisputed that Shakespeare
ceased to write as soon as the neces-
sity Of earning money by his work
was removed. 1t is true he produced
no more after his retirement to STRAIT.
