Will It Do the Work?

Read 1t again. Now is there anything in that amendment that will abolish the fee system in Jefferson county If you can find 1t you can do more than l can. It proposes to take the matter entirely out of the hands of the people and out of the constitution and put it into the hands of the legislature. What will the legislature do? Win they do as the peo- pie tell them? We know very well that the delegation we sent to the last legis- lature headed by the very man who now so insistently urges this amendment, namely, MT Walker Percy, gave us our present commission government bill which took away from the people the right to name their own commissioners, although the people said by vote of about to that they desired to elect their own commissioners.
 MT. Percy and the others of our dele gation went further than that; they told the governor that he must appoint the ones they named or they would pass no commission bill at all And all this done at a secret caucus at o'clock in the morning Now. what would the legisla- ture do or refuse to do with the fees in Jefferson county? Would they increase them? Would they diminish them? Would they change them at all? How can ws ell

High School and Boat Club Fights Will
Take Part inP Peoples Regatta With
Fair Chance of Success.

A very large and enthusiasts crowd or
oarsmen and their friends left the Union
station today at l o'clock en- route to
Philadelphia. where the Potomac Boat
Club and the high school crew of the
Mckinley Manual Training will meas
ure oars with some OF the best crews of
America tomorrow 1t is the annual

tire expense of which is borne by the
city of Philadelphia, and this yeAr the
individual prizes to the winners will be
costly gold hunting case watches. while
expensive silver shields will be presented
to the clubs whose crews and sculler are
returned winners.
The Potomac intermediate crew Will
meet the crack Malta eight of Philadei-
phia. regarded as the fastest intermediate
crew that the Schuykill river has pro-
duced since the days of the unbeataoie
Vespers. So fast and strong is the eight
that none of the other seventeen clubs
of the Schuylkill Navy deemed 1t wise
or prudent to send a crew out to meet
1t. The Potomacs expect hard race. IN
fact, they believe the race will be hard
and grueling one. and the tide OF victory
will not be settled until within shoft
distance of the finishing line. Coach
Josh" Slocum Is very much pleased with
the way his proteges have come forth

NEGROES RILE MIKE MURPHY.
Olympic Teams Coach Keeps One
Black Athlete Of SQUAD.

NEW YORK. July 3.cThe fact that j.
A. Howard. the negro athlete of Winnipeg
College, has been dropped from the Cana
dian Olympic team for insubordination in
London, calls attention to one circum-
stance in connection with the Ameri-
can team. Though several negroes per-
formed we'll enough in the tryouts to be
deserving of a place on the team. but one
was chosen by the selection committee
H. p. Drew. the Springfield High School
married man, who beat Craig in the 100
meters. On a previous team that Mike
Murphy had in charge 1t was said that
one of the men who did well in the try
outs refused to follow the instructions of
the trainer and preferred to strut around
the streets receiving the admiration of
the crowd rather than do the work he
was told to do. When this man seemed
likely to make the present team, Murphy
is said to have made a vigorous objection
and to have gone so far az to give the
option of leaving him home il the OBJ
jectionable member went along. Needless
to say, Mike went with the team.

He will be missed on the team, for his

fun. during which time only two Station

Dore started, Mcmahon finished, and
both were woefully lacking of anything

Manager Taylor's boys were tired running

Long hits were numerous, kehl slam

three triples were registered. Pugh hit
safely five times.
The game today will without doubt

Adams, now leading, clashes with South
