surprising that some Of the other clubs
in the National League should hesitate
to place him in charge of their team.
Chance would make capable rival for

Because Christy Mathewson failed to
win the worlds series for the Giants last
fall the impression went out that the
great pitcher was seeing the end Of his

Mathewson did not lose any prestige by
his work against the Red Sox, at least
not to the mind of those who recognize
ability even when it Is not effective in
bringing victories. Twelve years of work
on the pitchers slab have. Of course, rob-
bed MathewSon of some OF his stamina.
That old arm is no longer as subtle as 1t

are that the remarkable pitcher will again

WORD TO REPUBLICANS
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Charles d. Hilles, who was elected
chairman of the republican national
committee, has issued the following
statement to the members of the
party: "The republican party APP
proaches the presidential campaign
with confidence in the solemnity OF
it's cause and in the integrity and
ability of the candidates who rep
resent that cause. Progress with
order is good doctrine for the re-
publican party today, as it has been
since the DAY of its birth.
Real progressiveness is not the
Dry, but an achievement No Ameri-
can citizen should be deceived into
an exchange of his birthright for a
vision. The progress of the nation
toward better things does not come
from defamation, but from actual
results. More has been accomplish
ed in the last three years under the
administration of President Taft than
was ever before accomplished by a
president in the same period of time.
"A distinct line of demarcation be-
/ tween the republican party and the
. democratic party is revealed in the
platforms adopted at Chicago and
Baltimore One is an earnest of
| future progress through record
of achievement; the other is a prom
Use containing denial of the good
! that has been done.
Upon the solid rock of the rights
of the individual as granted by the
Constitution, the republican party
builds it's structure of optimism.
! The democratic party, on the other
hand, in the opening sentence OF its
address to the electorate, betrays its
occasional quality by denying the
| right of cOngress-a right again and
again confirmed by the supreme
court-to establish protective duties
for the benefit of American indus
tries. 1t declares as false the vital
issue of the constitutional liberties
of the individual Such liberties
are now assailed by those who advo-
: cate the overthrow of the independ-
ence of the Judiciary. 1t would
leave the individual defenseless in
| the protection of those rights de-
clared inalienable under the Consti-
tuition"

pie at the next election, according
to Senator j. T. Elwell of Mime
apolis, who gave an interesting talk
at the non meeting of the Associa
ton of Commerce yesterday.
Senator Elwell gave a general out
line of the workings of the present
good roads laws, both the one which
applies to Minneapolis, which per-
mits of spreading assessments over
"a period of fifteen years, and the
state law which provides that the
state shall pay one-half, the county
One-quarter and the particular peo-
pie benefited onequarter of the tax
for building good state roads.
Mr.. Elwell explained that under
the present system, the people OF
the remote communities had to be
treated with consideration, else their
objections to any road improvements
would seriously affect the construc-
ton of arterial roads and for this
reason the limit of 3 per cent of the
entire fund was placed on all cOun-
ties. He said that at present the
state, with the cooperation of the
counties, is erecting a 400mile road
from st. Vincent to Duluth: road
from Moorhead eastward across the
state to Duluth, a distance of 260
miles; road from international
Falls to the heart of the city of st.
Paul and finally road from Duluth
to the twin city. '..
The net result of the good roads
movement he said, would be to make
the twin city the center of one vast
network of arterial roads, extending
to all parts of the state, and that
the business men and citizens of
these communities should take a
lively interest in all good roads
work.
Among other statements made by
Mr.. Elwell was that Blue Earth
county got as much money as Ram
sey county did last year because of
this county showing their desire to
construct good roads
