COBB WILL PROBABLY
NEVER BE MANAGER

Ty Cobb will probably never
be the manager OF a ball club.
Here are his views on the sub
ject:
at is my belief that a star
ball player should not be handi-
capped and burdened by man
agerial worries or even the
captaincy of a team. A star
will get a good salary just for
his playing alone. and the little
extra money he would get by
managing the club would not
pay him for the worries that he
would experience. These added
duties do not seriously AFFECT
the work OF some few, Hal
Chase's case being a fair ex-
ample. II seems that the added
executive duties steadied him
down and made him more de-
termined In his play around the
initial cushion. Chase Is an ex-
ception, however"

ACTING CHILDISH.

Dr. H. w. Coe is making a great
spectacle of himself by his ridiculous
talks at Walla Walla. He is piqued
because he could not carry his point
ir the controversy and is now acting
childish. He is accomplishing moth
ing and can accomplish nothing by
the course he is taking. In trying to
fight Pendleton he is shifting a friend
ly hand because Pendleton men and
Pendleton capital built the Furnish
project and Pendletonians have been
good hackers Of the enterprise since
It was first started. BY his attitude
DR.. Coe is merely making a laughing
stock of himself and proving that he

was against him he Is trying to kick

VERY CHANGEABLE.

After the Pendleton Commercial
club had endorsed the West Umatilla
project a week ago this evening the
local paper that had been fighting
the Extension faced about completely
and told of the joy it felt because the
club had given such endorsement.
Last evening that same paper return
ed to its former attack upon the Ex-
tension by saying there is not enough
water for the Extension and that re-
clamation men who say there is are
having a childish dream, or words to
that effect. 1t wants the John Day
project. or at least it says it does.
Now the question arises why that
paper concurred so warmly in the
Commercial clubs endorsement if the
Extension is such an absurdity. 1t is
hard to understand a $3.50 newspaper

ONE OF THE OLD SCHOOL.

There died in New York yesterday
old school John Bigelow was born
in Ulster county, New York. in 1917,
only few years after the second war
with England. He knew Daniel Web
ster, he was partner OF William Cul-
len Bryant and an intimate friend of
Lincoln. The greatest position he held
was that of ambassador to France
which post he filled during the try
ing times Of the civil war. While not
ia public office Bigelow usually de-
voted his attention 10 literary work

he was product Of our earlier civil
lization, and it is because he was so
different from the average prominent
man of today that his death has at
tracted wide attention. When Bige-
low was made minister to France the
appointment was upon the strength
of his ability. Nowadays men are Sc.
lected for those positions because OF
their wealth rather than their brains

SENATE FIXES
HOUSE mem MBERSHIP

WASHINGTON. D. c., Special
The Senate today. without division.
passed the congressional reapportion-
ment bill, fixing the membership Of
the House, beginning with the next
Congress. at 433. ana defining the all
lotment in the several States. Two at
tempts were made TO reduce the House
membership, but both were unsuc-
ceSsful.
The measure was amended in one
important particular. The proposi-
ton advanced by Senator Burton that
in those States which gain additional
members under the new apportion-
ment, the members representing the
increase shall be elected at large in
stead of by districts. until such States
shall be redistricted, was carried.
On behalf OF Senator McCumber
who was not present, Senator Gronna
offered an amendment 10 limit the
membership OF the House to 405. on
roll call the McCumber amendment
was defeated. a. 70 %.
Under the new apportionment no
State is reduced in its present mem
bership in the House. Various States
make gains of from one to six mem
bers. The largest increase is in the
New York delegation. which now has
thirty-seven members. and during the
next decade will be entitled 10 forty
three. Pennsylvania gains the next
largest number. four.
The House undoubtedly will agree
TO the amendment and President Taft
will sign the bill.
