Moreover the bears cold grew worse in- stead of better; pneumonia set in and tne animal died This was in the famodS geological gardens at London. After the bears death post mortem examination showed that pneumonia was the cause of it.
 At first sight 1t would appear unnatural. that natives of the Polar regions should succumb to the cold of warmer countries. In the Arctics colds and pneumonia are extremely rare The poor bear in captlVl-. ty was sadly handicapped, however, anu the comparatively warm winter 10 pe0 spent in nice comfortable den in the zoo contained more dangers of colds TOT him than he would have found in splash- ing about in icy water and sleeping on lce-A bergs and in snowdrifts in the Arctic re- eions When winter approaches Polaf. bears in their native haunts choose some sheltered spot, make a burrow into tho snow and pass into state of hlbernatloni X Tn captivity the bears do not hibernate} but remain as active as in summer com ing out to eat and moving about even 'l shut in their dens.

 One Of the most heartening factors in the present situation is the work to improve conditions undertaken by the new state inspector of county jails and city prisons, Dr. w. II. Oates. Jails have been systematically visited, number of them condemned, prisoners removed to adjacent counties when ms orders were disregarded some of the more fragrant unsanitary conditions cleaned up as a beginning of complete renovation, and system of monthly reports from jailers to the state ln- spector's office instituted. All this has not been done without opposition, now ever, and opposition of such strength that it is likely to be crippled unless

 Over the door leading into the county pail at Anniston, the jailer's children had last summer innocently pinned in three inch letters the word welcome Behind their play lay the whole grim situation. It is to the economic inter est of everybody ncerned-deputies, sheriffs, court clerks, jailers, coal, lum- Der and turpentine companies, county and state--to have men arrested and to keep them in custody. The sheriit and his men are paid Ii fee for every arrest It is money in the sherin pocket if he refuses the mans bond. More money, the more prisoners are lodged and fed in jail, and the more days they are kept there.
 Courts and jails and prison systems are warped out of their right functions when they are counted on and expected to produce revenue, They rightly be- long in the department of justice-or, if you will, of moral health-not the de- partment of taxation or public finance nor as feeders for political pork bar rels,

 But this system reacts against the min CTS interest in another way It has been great factor in preventing unionism among the miners. Convict laborers can not strike for if they do they are beaten for it. If free labor has a grievance which it would make emphatic by quit ting work, the convict miners keep grind ing out enough coal to take the edge off the protest. In the big strike Of 1908, which broke the back of unionism in the coal mines of tho district, convict labor turned out it's daily quota of coal right through the period
 But viewed from a still more important angle, the Alabama convict system has failure written across 1t.

A Word to Study

From the St. Louis Republican.
 Snellpardelooszoondee erspoorwegpitrooln- ljumg-that's the technical and logically accepted name of the automobile in Elan ders. 'Snell (note that the second letter is n, not m) means rapid" "paardeloos" means "horseless," "zoondeerspoorweg' is the recognized way of describing a thing without rails" and, finally, "pitroolrlit- uns' implies thing "driven by petrol- cum" So you have 1t, quite simply and mere white whizzers and devils are out classed.

NEW YORK HAS NOT ABANDONED RACES A. J. Joyner Enthusiastic Over Racing in England HORSES BECOME JUNK Spring Sale to Be Held in New York City-Medium Size Horses
 Make History on Ameri-
 can Soil
By JAMES DoCKERALL

New York, January 20.-(Special.) That hope of racing about New York has not been entirely abandoned is evidenced by the recent announcement by the Coney Island Jockey club of the Futurity nom nations for 1914.
 Two and half years is a pretty long time in America when things happen fast. But from present indications the man who can legitimately hope for a reversal of the policy of the state of New York in the matter of racing must be near kin to the inventor of hope.
 To the ordinary observer there does not seem to be even a gamblers chance for racing unless those interested are willing to take it without betting. That there are some who intend to take no chances is evidenced by the fact that there are 375 nominations for the 1914 event.
 A number of well known horsemen are included in the list of nominators, but one, J. R. Keene. for years one of the leading nominators, Is conspicuous be- cause of omission. J. II. Madden, with SC nominations, has the largest number, with August Belmonts 45 second. and Harry T. Oxnards 40 third; Harry Payne Whitney has 22 nominations, Parker Whitney of California 13, J. M. Camden 20. J. B. Haggin 15, D. R. Bradley IS, and Woodford Clay 4.

In the spring sale to be held in New York city there will be some excellent chances for horsemen to recruit their ranks and get rid of some of their junk, if any they have. Junk Is harsh term to apply to a horse, especially when 1t is applied to ones own holdings. But the best horses become in time what Is term ed Junk" The term is meant to apply to horses no longer fitted for the serv- ice for which they were bred. Horses be- come aged or worn or outclassed, and are cast into the scrap heap by men who indulge in racing. Outclassed horses in most large cities find their way to the speedways and become what is known as "fun horses" Horses that can win mon ey on regulation tracks are still and al- ways will be. in demand.
 As a rule. the horses that have made trotting history on American soil have been those of medium size. Great East ern was. an exception. and so was Hosul, and we have read of other equine giants on the trottng turf But the rule Is as we state. Lady Suffolk, the first trotter to trot as fast as 2:30 or better. was seant 15 hands. Flora Temple the first trot- ter to beat 2:20 was about 142 hands. Dexter, the first horse to beat Flora's time. was about 15.2. Sunol. on the other hand, was nearly, if not quite, 16 hands. If we remember rightly.
 Nancy Hanks was scant To hands. Arlon and Directum. both champion trotters in their day. were about 15ih hands. Gen eral Watts. the first entire 3-year-old to trot as fast as 2:06si is sscant 15 bands. Colorado D.. the greatest S-year-old trot- ter ever foaed. promises to develop Into a 16 hand horse. IThlar, king of trotters, Is close 10 15.3 hands high Cresceus, king of trotting stollons for many years
 was close to 16 hands, while the Harvest CT. who in 1910 seized the crown that the noble son of Robert McGregor had car
 ried so Vallantlv for so many years, is fully 15.3 hands in height.
 At the annual meeting today of the | National Steeplechase and Hunt associ- | ton. s. s. Rowland, ]. E. Cowdin and l IT S. Page were elected stewards until l'1a5.
