SAILOR BURKE IN FIGHTING ATTITUDE.
see a battle when he starts, and there
is always some one bunged up before
his fights are finished. He backed
Papke all around the ring in the re-
cent fight. He forced the fighting and
never refused to mix. If Papke had
been willing to mix he would have had
company, for the sailor was there with
the heart of lion and ready to stand
toe to toe for the limit.
Burke is one pugilist who is always
in condition. You never see him slop-
ping in the brew around cafes, as many
other fighters do. He never squeals
about lack of condition as others do.
Fighting is his business, and he is ex-
pected to be in shape. He always is.

Trxouts For Olympic Aspirants.

The Amateur Athletic union commit
tee has practically selected San Fran
cisco, Seattle and Portland for the Pa
cific coast where candidates will con-
test for places on the American Olym-
pic games team: Chicago, Cincinnati
and Cleveland for the middle west,
and Philadelphia, Boston and New
York for the east. The scenes of the
tryouts between the athletes Of these
cities will probably be Portland, Gin
cinnati and New York. 1t is likely
only three athletes will be chosen for
each event.

INSPECTOR OF SHEETS.
Kansas Has an Official to Look Over
Hotel Bedclothind.

Hotel Bedclothing.
Kansas now has an official inspector
of bedclothes. He is John Kleinhans,
board of health to see that Kansas ho-
tel patrons get what the law says they
are entitled to when they pay their
money. This includes sheets ninety
two inches long, free from germs.
Klelnhans has already made his first
prosecution under the law. A hotel
man at COTS was found to be using
short sheets. He was fined $25. State
chemists are busy examining bed
clothes gathered from Kansas hotels
for microbes, bacteria and dust The
new law provides that all bed linen
must be clean.

TROTTER uHLAN is PAR
TlcuLAR PIECE OF
HoRSEFLESH.

Uhlan, the worlds champion
trotter, is a mighty particular
piece of horsehesh when it
comes to drinking water. Not
so very long ago Tom Logan,
who is proud of being Uhlan's
valet, hit upon the plan of fur
nishing Uhlan with spring water
to drink. Tom figured he would
give the gelding a treat for a
few days, but he had no inten-
tions of continuing the practice.
When Logan tried to change
from spring water to the old va
riety for Uhlan there was moth
ing doing. The star performer
positively refused to drink.
That's why Logan makes a five
mile trip on a motorcycle every
morning to provide Uhlan with
spring water to drink.

The Rock Island Liquor Dealers
association is in session this after
noon at Turner hall. The question
up before the Assem- bled saloon men
is that of the $1,000 license which
is to be voted on at the special cleo
ton Oct. 81. Naturally the inter
ests are opposed to paying s4OO more
year for the privilege of dispensing
liquor and it is possible that they
will arrange to fight the question.
1t is understood that some of the
dealers who are located in the bust
ness section favor the increase while
those on the outskirts say that they
cannot make both ends meet if they
must pay more. There are 90 saloons
in Rock Island and SO in Moline.
Moline has a license of 1000. Rock

drew the faithful here in goodIy num-
and the larger Of the two, was the fol

the burning questions. There Is talk
also of your humble states attorney,
L. NJ. Magill, stepping into the spot
light at this particular moment, and
there are suspicious that c. J. Searle
of Rock Island may seek to crafty his
long cherished ambition. From down
the district there will be plenty of can
didates, the most conspicuous of whom
are Dean Franklin of McDonough and
o. F. Berry, the irrepressible, of Han
cock. And there will be others.
FINE OLD ROW.
If there is discord in the democratic
ranks 1t is confined to the minor key,
while the republican ranks are torn
with tumult and roar of internecine
strife. And nobody in the party at
tempts to conceal it. They all talk
right out in meeting no matter where
that meeting may be, on the street, in
the state fair grounds or in the lob
bies of the hotels 1t is a row of the first
order and the member of the long suf-
fering old party who expects to come
to Springfield and not be drawn into it,
is fooled. Everybody has got TO line
up. The Jones, the Small. the Deneen,
the Waymen men are all in earnest
Yates is regarded as a fifth wheel to
the automobile of his dear friend"
Small, while State Senator Charles F.
Hurburg of Galesburg. and John Glenn
Of Chicago are also known candidates.
The impression is growing that SEN
atoT Shelby NJ. CullOm, will be pushed
aside at the conclusion of his present
term. He is on the ground, the same
good mixer, the same thorough going
politician of old, but very feeble.

WHAT TO DO WITH BIG DITCH.

Now that We are about to have a
great trans-lsthmian canal and as the
great project approaches the point of
completion all the more is the prob
lem of dawning upon the minds of the
people of the country as to what we
are going to do with it when We fin
ally get 1t. =
That question is beginning to loom
large with the makers of national pol
icy. There will begin, during the
coming session of congress, fight
which threatens to involve the whole
country, over the policy that shall be
applied to canal administration.
The postoffice department is adver-
Using for bids for carrying mails
throughout the great region which,
with the canals opening, will become
one of the greatest trade routes of the
world
1t is alleged by some of those who
are interested in canal affairs, that
these proposals have been so shaped
that one company is practically GER
tain to get all the business, that no
| competitor now in sight will have a
chance.
The alleged favored company is the
Atlantic and Pacific Transport com.
pany, recently organized by Baltimore
| capitalists. They insist that no such
favoritism is involved.
The volume of traffic in the region
opened by the canal has greatly in
creased in recent years. One new
company, in business only a short
time, operates vessels from Pacific
coast ports to the Pacific terminal of
the Panama railroad. transships
goods by that road to Colon. and
thence by connecting boat handles it
to Eastern ports of the United States.
1t is said this company has more than
doubled its business in the past
year.
Whether the canal shall be made an
effective competitor of the trans con-

THE PLAN OF HOLDING COTTON

1t is most unfortunate that cotton
should touch bottom at the time when
the farmers are ginning their crops,
because of the imperative necessity 10
hold the staple for rise in the market
when the planter looks forward to a
cash return for the labors Of the year.
Experts tell us that because the farm
er is now dumping his cotton on the
market in feyerish haste, the price has
been pulled down and is being kept
down. Hence, a little or no argument
is required for the policy of holding.
1t is the stern reality of empty lard
ers and threadbare clothing that is
forcing many a poor man with cotton
to sell to get what he can for his
product, irrespective Of the economics
Of this great Southern problem.
There is plenty of moral backing for
the holding movement, and some fl
nancial backing, yet immediate results
cannot be expected from any confer
ence or gathering of planters from the
South, or of leaders in the holding
cotton campaign. 1t is a matter of
education, under present conditions,
and pressing needs now overwhelm
the promises of the future.
The Farmers Union of Georgia TAX
ing up for adoption the Mississippi
plan has about the best practical So
luton of this cotton market problem
Until every section of the state mas
its warehouse, and affiliation with a
central corporation which shall buy
sell, store, issue loans, and promote
the cotton industry in general, theor-
lists may talk their heads off about
waiting for better prices, and benefit
but few. But every cotton growing
state must organize adequate ware
house companies In union is rne
strength of this plan. Georgia should
make all haste to get in line on the
warehouse movement, carefully organ
lied under Farmers Union auspices.
Meanwhile, every farmer who holds
his cotton for a few weeks, is doing
his fellow planters as well as himself
a great service.

tineatal railroads is one big question
Whether the government shall operate
its own line of ships, is another. Paci-
fc coast members of both houses o:
congress are pressing for government
ownership and operation of vessels in
this trade.
Senator Bristow of Kansas, game
a large part of his reputation as a
public man by making, for President
Roosevelt, a very detailed study of the
affairs of the Pacific Mail Steamship
company, it's relations to the trans
continental railroads, its suppression
Of competition by water, etcetera.
Senator Bristow is a determined ad-
vocate of government management of
the canal in such a manner as to as
sure that it shall be a real competi-
tor of the railroads.
Senator Cummins wants the govern
ment to build a fleet of twelve big,
fast steamers for this trade. He and
Bristow are to leave shortly for the
canal zone to study the whole stu
alton wi,h a view to formulating a
program that the progressive in con-
gress will advocate. Their efforts are
expected to result is legislation being
proposed early and pushed with such
vigor as to open the entire fight with
out delay.

THE TIME TEST.
Brunswick People Cannot Demand
Stronger Proof of Merit.

The test of time is what tells the
tale. The public is quick to discover
Misrepresentation and merit alone
will stand the test of time. Long ago,
Brunswick citizens publicly endorsed
Doan's Kidney Pills; they do so still.
Would these statements be confirmed
by Brunswick residents if Doan's Kid
ney Pills did not possess lasting
merit? The following testimony should
convince the most skeptical reader:
Mrs. Thomas Foley, London and
Davis streets, Brunswick, Ga, says:
Il have been greatly benefited by
Doan's Kidney Pills. suffered from
kidney trouble for some time. My
bach ached so severely that l could
hardly get about and difficulty with
the kidney secretions annoyed me-
l tried several remedies. but was not
helped until / procured Doan's Kidney
Pills at Roberts Pharmacy. The con-
tents of three boxes disposed of the
pains in my back and restored my
kidneys to a normal condition"
The above statement was given on
April 80, 1908. and on May 81, 1911,
Mrs. Foley said: You may continue
to publish my former endorsement of
Doan's Kidney Pills. Time has only
increased my high opinion of this
