are certain things you can't do rela-

even though you are treating him
well. That is to say. you can't go as
far as you like. We always supposed

The regents Of the Minnesota
State University and the Board

vestigated because they have
been using other than Mime

Both bodies are composed of

why these gentry generally re-
commend the use of material

YaIe,s Athletic Students.

! Yale has 1868 students in athletics
and gymnastics, according to statistics
published by Professor William Ander-
son, director Of the university gymna-
SUM. He estimates, however, that
nearly 300 are in more than one kind
of sport and that there are not more
than LOGO of the 1872 students of the
university who are in actual physical
exercise for sports sake for general
conditioning. As gymnasium work is
compulsory for freshmen all members
of that class are included i'm the sum-
mary.

L. G. Hull, the only American who
was appointed to the presidency Of the
athletic association at Oxford univer-
sity, will compete for the New York
Athletic club next summer:
Last year Hull captured both the
hundred yard dash and the quarter
mile at the annual dual meet between
Oxford and Cambridge, his time in the
hundred being exactly ten seconds.
He was Immediately elected president
Of the athletic body, to serve in that
position Of honor for one year.
Graduating last spring, Hull return
ed to America, but instead of taking
up the law business In Michigan he
settled in New York and became q
member of the Winged Footers.
HuIl's record in the sprints is such
that great things may be expected of
him when he receives the benefit of
Bernie Wefers' training, and those
who have watched Hull in the club
house gymnasium say that he will
surely prove one Of the star runners
Of the next outdoor season.

POSING FOR EFFECT

The genius at the head OF the
postoffice department is trying
to make the public believe that
he Is trying to put the postal
service on a paying basis. In
order to attain this result he has
adopted oppressive measu r e S
with the railway mail clerks, by
ordering them to take substitute
runs in addition to their own
regular runs. The clerks natur-
ally demur and a number of
them refuse to submit. The en-
tire force of railway mail clerks
is up in arms over the matter,
but there will probably not be a
strike, better counsel having
prevailed. The clerks will now
endeavor to enlist public sym
pathy in their behalf.
These clerks are efficient, con
|scientious employees of the gov
eminent, who risk their lives in
fiimsily constructed cars at sal
aries that will never make them
rich. 1t is skilled labor that
they perform. It is also ex-
hausting labor and takes a good
deal out of a man. Each man
has a week on and a week off,
the latter time to be spent in
studying up on rou ties and
changes in order to give the best
service possible. Additional
hours of work means an un-
necessary strain upon the, men
and poorer service for the pub
lie. The clerks maintain, and
that with apparent reason, that
the government should furnish
substitutes.
While at the matter of reform
why does not the department
put forth an effort to stop the
railroads from bleeding the gov
eminent by charging outrageous
prices for hauling the mails?
These mail contracts are and for
years lave been a scandal. If
the mails could be hauled at rea-
sonable rates the department
would not have to try to effect a
saving by taking it out of the
hides of the railway mail clerks
But the postmaster general
seems to be following in the foot
steps of the president of the
United States, who not so very
long ago proposed a raise in
rates on second class mail mat
ter as a means of helping te
] make up the deficit. Could il
have been due to the fact, as
has been frequently charged
that the president took this
means to get back" at the press
of the country for criticising his
public acts? There is something
rotten in Washington and some
of tie rotteness is in the post
loffice department.

Duluth's brace of boy bandits,
who bound and gagged a night
clerk and porter in a hotel, rob-
bed the till and later shot a po-
Iiceman dead on street car,
were convicted and sentenced,
one to Imprisonment for life and
the other to hard labor behind

days after their appalling crimes
were committed. Both lads are
under sixteen years of ag e.
Something is wrong in tn Is

Japan is taking rapid steps toward
adopting baseball as an extensive

IShafer, utility infielder of the New
York Giants, to coach and play with
its nine, and Shafer has departed to
take up the work of instructing the
,Nipponese college lads about the in
side points of our national pastime.
The Waseda college is going to great
expense In having Shafer come and

salary for the couple Of months he In
tends to stay in Japan. Shafer Is
former Santa Clara ball player. Three
years ago he was the star shortstop
of that nine and In 1908 was taken
east by Johnny McGraw and given a
tryout with the Giants. Last year he
served as utility fnfelder and knows
enough of inside baseball to be profit
able to the Japanese team.

Congressman James A. Tawney Of
Minnesota, most prominent OF the
standpatters who fell by the way
side last fall, may enter President
Taft's cabinet after March 4. Rumor
first selected Mr.. Tawney for the
Panama canal commission, but later
asserted that he would succeed Sec
rotary Ballinger when congress adj
journs. Friends are working in his
behalf and assert there is no doubt of
his fitness and that the appointment
would be popular.
Twice chairman of the house COM
mittee ON appropriations, Mr.. Tawney
for many years has been a prominent
figure in congress and in national pol
itics. Nine successive times he was
the choice of his constituents in the
First district of Minnesota, then he was
defeated in the primaries for renomi-
nation. This reversal of the opinion
of the voters was due to insurgency.
Mr.. Tawney was criticised for his ac-
ton on the Aldrich-Payne bill, for his
support of Speaker Cannon and for
his stand pat attitude generally.
Congressman Tawney is a native of
Pennsylvania and learned the black
smiths trade in the shop of his father
In 1877 he removed to Winona, Mimi,
and worked at his trade until admit
ted to the bar in 1882. He was elect
ed to the Minnesota state senate In
1890 and the following year began his
congressional career.
