TIL WOOL

The LaFollette wool tariff bill,
which passed the senate several days
ago, differed so materially from the
Underwood bill which had passed the
house that it was sent to a conference
committee. 1t now seems probable
that this committee will be unable to
agree on a compromise measure and
that congress will adjourn without en-
acting any tariff legislation whatever,
although there is a possibility that a
farmers free list' bill may be
passed.
The whole matter has resolved it.
self into a question of political ex-
%pediency. The regular Republicans, in
accord with the administration, do not
wish any tariff legislation enacted
until the regular session, by which
time it is expected the tariff commits
sion will have reported and the work
can be accomplished in an intelligent
and scientific manner. On the other
hand, the insurgent Republicans and
Democrats have apparently entered
into an alliance, the chief object of
which is to embarrass the administra-
ton of President Taft for the pur
pose of making political capital. And
here is where the deadlock comes in.
While both the insurgents and Demo-
Gratis desire tariff legislation, both
sides wish all the credit and will not
support any measure in which honors
are divided.
In the meantime the business of he
country is becoming ~stagnated and the
only relief in sight is an early ad-
iournment of the extra session.

MAIL CLERKS NOW RIDE
AS SAFELY AS PASSENGERS

The avocation of clerk in the rail
way mail service, only a short time
ago considered precarious because of
the danger in case of a wreck, is now
a position that carries no greater haz-
ard than that incurred by a passenger,
where statistics recently compiled
show that a passenger ON a railroad
may ride for 20 years at 60 miles an
hour without being killed. Particular
ly on the lines of the Southern Pacific
company is this statement true. On
the first day of July, this year, every
mail coach on the Southern Pacific
that was not OF steel construction was
taken out of service and today the
mail clerks on the Southern Pacific
ride in safety.
In the economy of railroad manage
ment there are still a number of wood
en- mail ears used, but they are sim
ply the survival of the f%ttest, and will
also soon be retired. But whenever
used in connection with steel cars,
they are attached to the rear end of
the train.
Prior to the introduction of the steel
mail ears the lives of the mail clerks
were constantly endangered by being
compelled to ride in wooden cars, di-
rectly behind the locomotive with
hundreds Of tons of heavy cars behind
them, that in case of a wreck might
have telescoped the lighter mail
cars, crushing them into kindling
wood, and then frequently apply a fire
brand to the kindling, as has occurred
at some bad wrecks.
The Southern Pacific mail clerks
are more at ease since the change

DEMANDS
CHANGES Be MADE
IN FOOTBALL CODE
Claims That Present Game
Is the Most Haz-
ardous.

George Foster Sanford. generally con-
ceded to be one of the greatest defensive
coaches football has ever known and
ore of the closest students Of the sport
in the history Of the game, has finally
come forward with an absolute demand
that football be reformed.
The former Yale center hits from the
shoulder in demanding changes in the
code. claims that the game as 1t is now
played Is more hazardous, and MAIN
tains that il interest in 1t is to be
continued there must be some relief for
the defensive players and. at the same
time, an avenue opened to more strength
Uf the oftense.
Being a player under the old rules. Mr.
Sanford Is naturally inclined to favor
the rules as they obtained tefore the
reform of 1905. Still he comedies that
there were objections that should have
been and have been eliminated during
the past Ave years. The flying wed &c,
the guards back. the turtle back. and
other forma.icls, which were not only
fore the 5tStnnc91 to be gained was in
creased are frowned Upon by Mr.. San
ford. Still he feels that the revised
code has not accomplished it's purpose.
His ideas as to what should be done
might he summarized as follows:
FORWARD pass limited to behind the
line Of scrimmage. &An Offensive zone zone
lance to be gained. five yards In four
downs. Or three tries. 4-Cne man to
helm the runner after the latter reaches
the line OF ScrimmaSe.

Browns Reputation and
Popularity Has Changed

Nearly year ago Knock Out Brown
was the most talked about fighter be-
fore the fistic footlights. Times have
changed. Valentines reputation has suf-
fered and his popularity with it. In his
home town, New York. he Is still very
good drawing card, but the outside
world is not overawed any more when
X. O.'s name is mentioned. Nor are
matchmakers offering the youn Teuton
90 per cent for his services.
=. Brown is a past sensation. Last Janu-
AIRY he was hailed as sure big Lacquer
And as late as May 26. when he slowed
away Tommy Murphy in forty sec
ends. his championship prospects had
not dimmed.
Since then however, he has had a
bad spell, defeats by Matt Wells. One
Round Hogan, and Leach Cross, and
near defeats by Tommy Ginty and Jim
Benner having been registered against
him.
Browns failures are proof enough that
it's easier to tumble than to climb, and
the gait is faster. X. o. may experience
a run of victories before the boxing
season closes, but 1t Is doubtful IL he
can regain a foothold in the first diyis-
ion.' He has taken too many gloves on
the head.
