peculiar features Of the rules by
which the professional politicians
have held strangle holds on cities
and towns.
Graft, in every possible form, from
the disposal Of judge-ships to that of
city's garbage, has cost the tax
payers millions Of dollars and made
this free and glorious' country the
worlds wonder as an easy mark.
We have all heard a great deal of
the professional politician. Every
community has him in numbers, and
he wakes fat, prosperous, i1solent
and unprincipled from the dawn of
his political sun to the setting there

It is a certainty that no set of
business men in a community, smart
ing under the indignities, the unfair
ness and the money cost of political
mis-rule are ignorant of it's cause
and of those responsible for the con-
ditions.

ability not TO interfere in the other

accommodating blindness and deaf

is a devoutly-to-b e-w.&hed for asset.
In New York City, in Pittsburg,
Chicago and San Francisco, the
ethics which marked the dead-line
between what the professional poll
tician did, and what the business
man would testify to, cost the tax
payers of those cities more money
than would have been needed to run
the municipalities, legitimately, for
many years.
This among business men and the
political machine, was known aE
"ethics," which, broadly interpreted
is-one side has to be deaf, dumb,
and blind to the shortcomings and
criminality Of the others.
The tragedies which this system of
corruption has brought about will
never be known.
There is another brand or ethlcS
existent between professional people,
whose results are sometimes 81 GRIM

the business mon.
Some years ago a druggist located
in a town and his patronage was
good. A little child was taken i'll,
and the family physician called; he
left a prescription which was sent to
the new druggist and the resultant
compound given the child Within
a few hours the child developed con-
vulsions and the physician was again
called He at once saw a mistake
had been made in compromising the
prescription, and after relieving the
suffering of the little patient, he left
not at all sure Of the chiid's re-
covery.
Taking the medicine, he s'ught the
druggist, asked that his prescription
be produced and then asked what
had been compounded. The druggist
was almost paralyzed as he realized
that, for simple remedy he had read
opium and the doctor was power
less, because of "ethics' to say any
thing of the matter, unless the death
of the child should be the cause of an
investigation.
The child recovered, but the fam

one never called the physician again

EVERY TWIRltR SHOULD
HAVE HIS OWN CATCHIR

New York. Feb. 2.-Christy Math-
ewson believes each pitcher should
have his own catcher, and he gives
some good reasons why managers
should arrange their batteries so that
a pitcher can have the same catcher.
Il have learned that can pitch best
to one catcher, because we come TO UNI
derstand each others strong and weak
points and play accordingly" he said
today.
Harmony in action and thought is
gained when the battery men work
together regularly, and, without that
neither pitcher nor catcher is able 10
do his best. The pitcher has enough
to do without trying to please a
catcher who does not understand him
The pitcher understands why the
catcher's judgment differs with his on
~ when they work together regularly
Each knows then just what the other
can do.
A catcher who does not know his
pitchers strong and weak points often
makes mistakes and one little slip has
lost many a BAH game.
THE advantage is just as strong FOR
the catcher. The fans know lot more
base ball than they did a few years
ago. but they have not learned that
the catcher is not TO blame for most
stolen bases. A good catcher can
throw out a good base runner II the
, runner is held close to the base and
the ball is pitched so he does not lose
his balance in getting IT. When the
base runner is allowed too much of
lead the catcher is hurried, and often
his throw goes wild
"The pitcher should study the base
runner and the catcher the batter.
Battery men learn to respect each
others judgment in this only by play
ing together regularly. The pitcher
cannot watch the base runner if he
has TO figure out what to give the bat

Laurium Department
MANISTIQUE PYIHIANS
FORM "MtNOMINEE" Club

Advices received in Laurium indicate
that the upper peninsula lodges of the
Knights of Pythias are already pre-
pairing for the annual reunion to be
held at Menominee i'm June. One of
the most active of the lodges in this
direction is the Manistique lodge,
whose members were hosts of last
years reunion. A "Menominee Con-
Vention Club" has been formed and il
is proposed to charter "a special car
TO convey the members to the conven-
ton city. The third rank degree team
of that lodge is also working hard in
anticipation of the degree team con-
tests to be held at Menominee.
Concerning the convention, the
Menominee Herald Leader has the
following:
while the work being done by the
Manistique lodge has become public
it is understood that other lodges arc
making preparations also. but are
keeping quiet as to their course. 1t is
said the members are shutting one eye
with the word wait
The local lodge has received a great
amount of encouragement from the re-
port that halls from Manistique. The
members are pleased that such in
terest is being shown in the upper
peninsula convention and they will re-
double their efforts to make it sue
cess.
Other cities will no doubt follow
the example set by Manistique In
forming a similar club or band, and il
this is done by every city of 5000 OF
more in the upper peninsula, the June
convention will be the banner meeting
of northern Michigan in the lodges
history.
when the plans for the convention
were first talked of, it was thought
that six or seven hundred fraters
would probably be present But now
since many Wisconsin lodges have de-
cided to be represented and since 9th
err upper peninsula cities are becom-
ing so interested, it is believed that
Menominee will entertain between L.
500 and 1000 visitors during conven-
ton work"

WANTS TOE HOLD BARRED.
Wrestlers Take Stand Against Gotch's
Favorite Hold.

"The stand that DR. Roller has taken
on the toe hold" said Arthur Mather,
the heavyweight amateur wrestling
champion of New England lis to be
commended and I trust that promoters
and wrestlers everywhere will act on
his suggestion that this hold be barred
in every match that is decided i'm the
future.
"To true lovers of wrestling there is
nothing so Objectionable as this hold,
unless it is the mugging for which
foreigners are noted. a style now being
copied by some of our American
wrestlers, | regret to say.
zone of the first of the important
contents to be decided in which the toe
hold is specifically barred is that be-
tween Henry Ordemann. the crack
Minneapolis heavyweight, and Kid
Cutler, which is to be held i'm Mime
apolis next month. In their previous
match Cutler was badly injured, hence
the barring of the toe hold.
promoters should insist on this,
and thus help to bring the sport to the
highest plane it has ever reached due
to the excellent grade of men who are
now at the head of the sport both in
this country and i'm Europe"

HOODOO FOLLOWS
TEAM CAPT AIMS
MALADY WHICH HAS BEEN
PREVALENT AT HARVARD
SEEMS TO HAVE SPREAD
TO YALE.

There seems to be some strange
hoodoo lowering over captains at Har-
ward, and this year it seems likely
that the malady will catch the Yale
men. Two years ago Captain Burr Of
the Harvard football eleven, the star
tackle who died recently, was unable
to play in the Yale game through in
juries.
1t may now that neither Reginald
Foster nor John fitzpatrick will be
able to compete next spring when the
Harvard and Yale track team take
the field for their dual meet They
are respectively captains of Harvard
and Yale.
Foster pulled out tendon, last
spring and that may keen him out Of
it. Kipatriok has been uncertain on
the track because OF football hurts, al
though he has generally arisen to the
occasion. His knee, which bothered
him greatly last season, does not
seem to have given him 90 much trou-
bic this year in football.
Two years ago Foster was the top
notch college Splinter of the country.
He won the two Gashes against Yale
meet. Last year he broke down early
in the training season and was not
able to compete against Dartmouth.
He did start in the 220 i'm the inter-
collegiate, but was not able to finish
his heat.
A statistician figures out that had
he won the two sprints that would
have reduced PENIS total and Yale
would have won the meet. 1t would
have taken a pretty sturdy Foster TO
carry away the furlong from the re-
doutable Craig of Detroit, who turn
ed 21 1-5 seconds, to win the race.
Foster would have made new
worlds record if he had beaten that.
Things that might have happened in
Kilpatricks case were these: In 1909
his jump i'm the Harvard meet landed
him a winner over Little OF Harvard.
IL was somewhat unexpected. Had
Little beaten out Fitzpatrick the meet
would have gone to Harvard. AS it
was. Yale took it,
Fitzpatrick started as a hurdler and
gave that up when football battered
him up too much. Then he took to
broad jumping and when that hurt
him more he specialized i'm the shot
put. He was a fast hurdler, did better
than 22 feet in the broad jump, and
close to A feet with the shot. He is
as great an allround athlete as he is
an end.
