Many an amateur athletic enthusiast
of this city yesterday expressed his
regret over the announcement in these
columns that w. c. Thatcher Is to for
sake the sporting goods field in order
to engage In the real estate business.
While all seemed glad to see him take a
step in advance they seemed to feel that

Farewell, Wild Conroy.

1t appears as though President Navin
is taking long chance In standing pat
on the lineup OF those Detroit Tigers.
He has stated positively that the team
will remain intact, but when one re-
calls the lack OF harmony and the
fights among the Tigers last season II
is surprising that there will be no
changes in the elimination OF some OF

No matter what they say about
Hurry Up" Yost retiring as coach at
Michigan and quitting football, I am
inclined to believe that when the cool
breczes begin to blow next autumn they
will find Mr.. Yost back at his old job
with the Wolverines. Yost is independ-
entity wealthy and has various business
interests, but the call of the gridiron
has always been too strong to resist and
Yost has always given in.

Now for chees and checkers.

1t was expected that Hurdle Todd
would be elected captain of the Virginia
football team. No member of that
eleven did more to carry the Orange
and Blue through season with but
two defeats than the man who was
honored yesterday. In individual bril-
liancy Todd Is without a superior in
this section of the country and 1t was
principally his excellent performances
that made possible the large sized scores
against Hopkins and Carolina. Vir-
ginia will have practically all of its
first eleven back next year. so 1t is not
surprising that there should be enthu-
siasm at Charlottesville.

Gray to the minors.

The election of Jack Hegarty as
football captain for next fall should
meet with the appreciation of George
town men. The new leader has
played consistently good football ever
since entering the university and Ia
sufficiently experienced to justify the
reliance the players have placed in
hip. That his team will be as sue
cessful as the ones under Daley is a
universal hope.

In town for week, ready for the Dis

intends to withdraw from the sport and
settle down to the practice of his chosen
profession in Wilkesbarre, providing, of
course, that he goes through the stiff

In case he should be forced back into

found in the New York State League.

The Great Questions.

people OF Missouri is the transpor-
tation question. At present there
are three avenues for transporta-
tons of goods and passengers, the
railroads. navigable rivers and pub
lie roads. River navigation is not
very popular and railroads are TAX
ine care of themselves at present,
X the general public is beginning
to wake up in the interest of better
public roads to improve our facili-
ties for transportation.
This question is before the tax
payers to stay and the sooner we
solve the problem the better for all
concerned. Any great economic
question requires much time to
work out the details which is the
cause of many of its ad-
vocates falling by the way before
the final results are obtained. Some
people can talk awfully loud for
good roads for a time but just Le-
cause the fruits of their labors are
slow to mature they become dis
couraged and quit in disgust.
Now this question of improving
cross country roads has been agi-
tated for such a time that most
every citizen of the state is fairly
well informed as to the immediate
benefits to be derived from better
transportation facilities. But how
are we to get these good roads?
Where is the money to come from,
what is the best plan to build
permanent roads and what is the
best used?
Now thst the question of benefits
is disposed of the other questions
will be cleared up as fast as we get
to them.
The question of benefits was dis
posed of after many years of agita-
ton, by the faithful. by the matter
of necessity caused by the rise of
prices in real estate and the changes
in motive power. Any one can see
on moments reflection the neces-
sity for better roads. Why not
every citizen get busy on the road
question? 1t is sure coming and
we can not dodge it. The heavy
taxpayer should take a hand to pro-
tect his interests and see that there
is no useless expenditures of money
while the day laborer should GER
tainly be interested in any legiti-
mate project that increases his
chances to obtain labor by which
he may support his family.
| The question is before the people
of the entire state. Some localities
have already gone to work with a
vim and are able to show results.
What is the matter with organizing
a special road district with Monroe
City as the center? Paris and
Stoutsville have such special road
districts and there are over 80 9TH
ers located in various parts of the
state. Why not start the ball roll
ing? We can do our planning this
winter and build the roads next
summer. The best town surround.
ed by the best farming country in
the state should not take a back
seat.
