Tales Of the Street

Consistency in anything, in politics,
in human nature, in public men, is a
rare quality And what pleasure it
is to discover a man in public life, or
one lowering in the vicinity of the
ear-great, who can qualify.
Conversely how disappointing it is
when he wipes the good record he has
made for himself off the slate and con-
tradicts himself. The strength Of the
reputation he may have built is weak
ened and the confidence his admirers
have in him is shattered with the
falling of the idol.
George Wilkinson is q big, good
natured fellow, and it is generally con-
coded that the worst thing that can be
said about him personally, is that he is
democrat. But his partisan friends
have always claimed he was con-
sistent democrat, and they believed in
him and his pungent young weekly
paper, which he has been allowing to
absorb his attention since his defeat
at the polls last November.
George is from Ohio-another good
point in his favor in the opinion Of the
majority of people, for that is the
presidential state-and when the demo-
Gratis Of the country began looking
about for someone to ride their donkey
to Washington next year, they thought
they had a pretty good man down in
sidering he's a democrat, Uncle judi
son Harmon who has been governor
there for the last three years. Con-,
sidering he's democrat, Unccle JUDI
son has been giving pretty good salts

Douglas Herald: Yes sae Cowan
case is ended, and what lave we gain
ed by it? A little be of notoriety for
North Dakota and not very pleasant
notoriety at that. The lawyers for
both the defense and prosecution are
the heaviest winners, although it has
given Judge Cowan a big boost. He
is now greater man than ever be-
fore, and the political soreheads who
instigated the impeachment proceed
ings are undoubtedly nursing some
hard feelings because OF their failure
TO carry out their purpose.
Thls case has cost the tax payers
OF North Dakota something like $780,
600 and we have nothing to show for
1t. Such action as this should be STEP
ped on right now and stepped on hard.
Ashley Tribune: The Cowan i'm
parchment came to an end Thursday
afternoon, May 4, when, after bal
lots had been taken, by roll call, on
seventy nine specifications, Judge
John f. Cowan was declared acquitted
on all charges brought against. him.
The vote ranged all the way from
none to twenty-three for conviction.
Thirty-three was the number neces-
sary to convict. There were no votes
cast against the Judge on seven spec
thcations. On the habitual drunken
ess charge, the only impeachabIe Of
Tense 1t is claimed. only three sena-
tors voted to impeach. The trial
started March 28, and has cost the
state OF North Dakota about 100000.
Judge Cowan has been bitterly at
tackled and sorely tried, but in his
hour of triumph he can prove himself
the greater in acts of charity not ac-
| corded him by his enemies.
Medina Citizen: The impeachment
trial of John F. Cowan came to a close
last week and the verdlct Of the senate
was not guilty. The prosecution was
unable to prove its charges and the
vote on the different charges and spec
ifications was strong in the defend
ants favor. This is one or the most
famous and expensive cases IN the
state Of recent years and the people
that pay the freight are glad that it is
all over. There are a good many
phases Of the case that 1t is well to
forget. We believe the whole affair
was case Of political spite work and
we are informed that there was con-
siderable farcial work throughout the
trial. All Of which is radically wrong.

DETROIT "Y" LEAVES
A. A. u. PERMANENTLY.

The Detroit Y NJ. G.. a. has left the
Amateur Athletic union. The Athletic
League Of North America, with which
nearly all the physical departments OF
the "Y's" OF the country are affiliated,
has withdrawn from its agreement
with the A. A. Z. and has announced
a platform OF its own.
Preferring to stay with the A. l..
n. A. than the A. A. L., the Detroit
"Y' has severed it's connection With
the latter body. The reason for this
action is that there has been dissat-
isfaction with the way the union has
been governing amateur athletics.
There has been too much red tape
and too many incidental fees, II Is
held. levied by the union.
Members of the A. t. N. A. are not
barred from playing with teams In
the A. A. U. IL they care to. In fact,
they can play with any amateurs OF
whose standing they are certain with
out the approval of the main organ
ization.

D, u, S. MAY Be BARRED
FROM MEETS BY RULING
Will Not Effect Local School
Seriously, However; Not
Entered Last Year.

The ultimatum OF the Michigan In
terscholastic Athletic association that
II II accepts the invitations OF the
University OF Michigan and NJ. A. c.
athletic authorities TO participate IN
meets AZ Ann Arbor and East Lans-
ing. all athletes entered must be eli.
gible under the rules or the associa'
tion means that d. u. s. athletes will
be barred from competition, provided
the university and NJ. A. c. bow 10
the associations wishes.
The rules OF the association pro
vide that athletes TO be eligible must
be attendants OF public high schools,
and as the ID. u. s. is a private school,
its students cannot compete under
this regulation.
The ruling was not aimed at the
Detroit school, however. as has been
suggested. II is aimed at some OF
the smaller schools OF the state, such
as Shelby and Croswell, which send
in small teams OF extraordinary abil-
ity that win everything in sight for
one year and then disappear alto
eether.
This sudden rise and fall OF some
VI NuC lfSHCi hlhh oNhCOAc
teams has made the members OF the
interscholastic association, which Is
severe in its scholastic requirements,
suspicious that the athletes entered
by the smaller schools outside OF the
association are not up TO the standing
required
The association feels that II Is just
that all schools entering the meets
should be on equality. with its en-.
tries Any public high school in the
state may enter the athletic associa-
tion and this they will have TO do. In
case the university authorities accept
the associations ruling, IL they wish
10 enter the meets in the future.
Coach Frye. OF the d. U. s., says
| that he does not care TO discuss the
question. AS far as the ID. L. 5.
is concerned II will have little effect
on the Detroit school for they did
not enter either meet last year. al
though they received invitations. All
other private schools throughout the
state will be barred the same as the
local school, but the fact that ID. L.
s athletes have always been strong
contenders In the competition give
rise 10 the suspicion that the regula-
ton was framed for its particular det-
riment.
