Imagine yourself the son of parents
with millions of dollars at their COM
mand. Grown up and anxious to mix
in sports for the fun Of the thing,
crowned worlds champion of your
specially before you know it, and then
father interposes an objection to your
continued efforts on the cinderpath,
what would you do. It did not A. N.
s. Jackson, the worlds 1,500-meter
champion long to solve this perplex-
ing question. If he ever disobeyed
his parents heretofore, he could not
but tell them that he must disre-
gard the obligation imposed upon him
because of his selection by the English
authorities to represent his country at
| the Olympic games. A lucky thing it
was for Old John Bull that Jackson,
literally speaking, ran away from
home and true to form won the only
race on the athletic program for Eng.
land. Now, his folks are proud of
him and he is going to be given a
big send off by the athletic clubs of
London for his work. Jackson is a
truly remarkable runner. He comes of
the best English stock. He is a clean
liver and for his short career in the
game has done remarkable work.
Twenty years old, tall and 1.-THE, he is
bound to duplicate the wonderful run
he showed onlookers in the Swedish
stadium and his services are in de-
mand everywrere-if pa will let him
go.

One of the most interesting figures
in London today is Godfrey Robin
son, the new editor of the London
Times, succeeding George Earle Buc-
kle, who has retired after twenty.
eight years of service. Mr.. Robinson
is the second youngest editor that
the Times has had, and youngest be-
ing Delone, who was appointed to the
post when he was % and broke down
at so. He has been connected with
the paper only since last February,
having been the Times South African
correspondent until that time. Mr.
Robinson was educated at Elton and
Oxford-a combination which is said
to unlock the Time office more easily
than any other. His university ca
reer is brilliant one. He is a York.
shireman.

European News and Views

London, Aug. 1.-THE comments
of the various European newspapers
on the American political situation
is interesting. On the whole, per-
haps, the English and French news
papers seem opposed to the Third
Term movement. There Is one ex-
ception in Paris in the instance of
LeTemps, which is an enthusiastic
supporter of Colonel Roosevelt and
his policies, as far as foreign news
paper support goes. LeTemps de-
clares that those who fail to take SER
iously the chances of the Colonel in
the three-cornered fight for the Presi-
dency are making profound mistake.
He stands on a platform admirably
constructed, giving the Bull Moose
plenty Of ground over which to paw,
with Roosevelt in good form on strong
ground, well supplied with funds and
able to count of sympathy among those
nominally his enemies" says Le-
Temps. 1t adds that he is capable
of working miracles and achieving
success under circumstances which
would break any one else.

over OF 900. It is further believed
that the reduction means that the
mills do not contemplate resumlng
operation in the near future, result
ing in an additional loss financially
to the town.
Last year the mills assessment
was given in at $4,000 but the
board of supervisors raised it to S2OO,-
900, so it seems now that the super
visors think the mills have deterior-
ated in value $4,000 in - months,
and at this rate the mills will be
worth nothing at all in the next II
months. The mills have been closed
years.
It was reported some weeks ago
that a stock company of home capt
talists had been formed and bought
the plant and it was believed the
mills would resume work. This hope
has been abandoned.
It is said in asking for the reduc-
ton of taxes one of the companies
told the supervisors that unless they
got the reduction they would soon
have to hammer the buildings down
and remove them. AS the property
stands today it is worth all told at
least $5,0O0,OOO. Twenty years ago
it was considered worth over s1O,-
900 and was assessed at about $780,

quarters in Mini. The supplies OF
these furs received this year are small
or than those of 1911, which accounts
for the advance in price. There is no
apparent scarcity of other furs handl-

hold close to previous levals. Yet 1t is

most fashionable, SO the leaders OF

James Creelman, the American
newspaper man who returns to New
York next week, after having made
an exhaustive study of civil service
conditions of England and Paris in
the interest of the Municipal Civil
Service Commission of New York, OF
which he is president, asserts that
England is a country behind New York
in civil service methods. He declares
that the system employed in London
would fall to pieces in ten days If
an attempt were made to apply it to
New York. The same thing may be
applied to the Municipal government
as to the civA service laws, according
to Mr. Creelman. For the position of
an ordinary clerk the New Yorker says
London requires the applicant to trans
late Latin and explain the binominal
theorem. Also he is examined In the
history of London during the Roman
invasion, the history of London from
1885 to 1888 and the history of Lon
don since 1888, but about the political
duties of the position nothing is said
at the examinations.
