RUSSELL FORD HAS
CHEERFUL WORDS
FOR YANKEE FANS
Can't See Any Club That
Has Better
Chances.

From far-off Saskatchewan, where for
some months past he has been more or
less busily engaged rigging things UP
for the finest crop OF wheat ever grown
n Canada, Russ Ford ships kind words
of cheer and encouragement to Yankee
supporters, already so we'll satisfied
with themselves that only the Athletics
are given an even chance or better of
beating the Hilltoppers to the wire next
fall.
II can't for the life OF me see." writes
Farrell's bright. particular star. that
any club in the American League, ex-
cept the worlds champions alone, has
anything like the prospects OF the Yam
KEGS. 1t would be expecting almost too
much to even hope to show the way to
Mack's great team, but l really be-
Iieve the Yankees will give the Ath-
letics the hardest fight they have had
since 1909.
To Compare FavOrably.
From what | have read, Wolverton
has decided upon an outfield that will
compare favorably with any in the
league for offensive as we'll as defen-
sive play. The infield, with Gardner
or Simmons at second, and Knight
playing his 1910 game at short, ought
to prove itself the strongest New IorK
has had since 1904.

MR.. BOOTHS STATEMENT.
Writes to Correct Some Possible Wrong
Interpretation and Ask Questions.

In regard to yesterdays article regard.
ing the action of labor union meet
ing in municipal politics and more espe.
eially as to his statement concerning
Mayor Mulch, George Booth writes that
he never made a petition for macadam
on Murray street and would never have
expected macadam if he had; all that
he asked for was that the street be
graded.
Mr.. Booth also asked the following
question in his communication:
"Why was it that Kirk street was
macadamized and oiled
"Why was it that the mayor never
knew anything about ity'
Kirk street and Murray street are
short streets running parallel, off Ayers
street. Murray street is all built up;
Kirk street has three vacant lots. >
Therefore, Mr.. Booth wanted to know
why Kirk street was improved.
In conclusion, Mr.. Booth writes: 'Now
Murray street is not the worst street
in the city. / believe it is among the
best of side streets; yet Kirk street in
the old condition was a better street
than Murray street. What is the mat
ter? An answer would be appreciated.
Respectfully yours, George Booth"

The Cowboy and the Thief.

At the opera house next Friday, Feb
10, will be presented that sterling west
ern comedy drama romance, "The Cow
boy and the Thief" This important
Offering may be described as four act
picturesque reproduction of life and love
OF various character, incidents and cpl
sodes, exactly as they are experienced
in the golden West. 1t is Just such a
play as this, as well as other promi-
nent successes of a similar nature, such
as The Great Divide, "The Squaw Man, /"
and "The Girl of the Golden West"
that have melted the interest of the
American theatre-goers and upheld Dig
nifty of the drama of the West to such
an extent that the western play of the
better class is now the lofty ideal in
point of success in the record of recent
theatrical history. This play, "The Cow
boy and the Thief" is described as a
four act reflex of breezy western life,
where hearts beat high and hands grasp
firm, and faithfully presents that rugged
and spirited life as it actually exists.
There is nothing oyerdrawn in its story,
plot, or Characterization being as it is,
plausible, convincing and human through
out. The play is said to contain an ex-
cellent cast and is produced under the
personal direction of the author, j. Wen
del Davis, with complete and beautiful
scenic equipment. The company carries
great eycloama drop over hun
dred feet in length, an exact reproduc-
ton OF Golden ranch, Colorado.

Were the duties of governor of New
Jersey no more onerous than are the
chief executives routine in Vermont,
then Governor Wilson might go election
eering about the country about as much
an he pleased, and the state would go
right along as usual; but the New Jersey
executives office has far more require.
ments than Vermont's and there are
far more demands for the personal at
tendance of the governor. Hence, it
would seem that the frequent sorties of
Gov. Wilson into the political enemy's
country must deprive the state of some
thing which is its due. The people OF
New Jersey, or rather majority of the
voters, hired him to be their governor;
and it is doubtful if they are getting
their moneys worth, now that the presi-
Dental bee is buzzing about Wilson's
bonnet. For instance, we learn that for
the third time within a month the presi-
dent of the state Senate has been neces-
sarily sworn in to be acting governor
TO accommodate Gov. Wilson during one
of his numerous expeditions after votes.
New Jersey pays its governor between
S27 and $2S day for his services. Does
Gov. Wilson earn his money! might well
be question permitting difference of
opinion.

LENA MORROW LEWIS.

| ity as a speaker, she is student of
affairs. Her participation in the tenn
perance, equal suffrage, labor and So
eialist movements as a speaker and or
ganizer, has given her an outlook from
the social viewpoint not exeelled; and
rarely equalled by our foremost social
doctors.
Besides her acquaintance with the ac-
tual affairs of life, she is acquainted
with the best work of the masters of
literature, is interested in the modern
drama, and keeps in touch with the pro-
gressive work of the colleges and of the
popular magazines. This wide field of
knowledge she works into her speeches
in an interesting, mannerly manner, and
her audiences never regret the hour or
two they spend in listening to her.
Mrs. Lewis is nationalist of the So
cialist party, is the only woman who
has ever been a member of the national
executive committee, and is a member
of the national woman's committee.
She is always a drawing card ON the
platform
The Manchester Union has the follow
ing to say about Mrs. Lewis: "Manehes-
ter was given an innovation in things
political, at least an innovation for the
present campaign, for a woman was the
principal speaker at political rally
held by the members of the Socialist
party. The woman was Lena Morrow
Lewis and the subject of her discussion
was Socialism, Mrs. Lewis is a San
Francisco woman, and her thorough I'M
derstanding of the questions evolved was
a revelation to the hundreds who heard
her, for the city hall was crowded. A
great traveller, woman who has visit
ed nearly every country in the world,
and deyout exponent of the princi-
pies of Socialism, she held her audi
enee spell-bound from the beginning of
her address. Her concise speaking, her
clear enunciation and her real oratory
was welcome change after some of the
efforts which have been made by political
speakers of other parties in their SPELL
binding tours on the stump"

"CHILD WELFARE DAY.
Governor Mead Designates February II
as Vermont's Selection.

State of Vermont,
Executive Department.
A nation wide movement exists to de-
velop the highest possible type of Amer
lean citizenship. The bulwarks of every
government are founded on the culture,
health, morals and efficiency of its men
and women. This republic has sur
mounted the heights of the worlds civil
ization and the effort now being made
contemplates that it shall for all time
stand at the very crest of human en-
deavor. The foundation must be laid
in the impressionable years of the girls
and boys who in the future will share
and form the destiny of our union of
states. The national congress Of moth
I ers recommends that official recognition
! be made to this most important SUBJ
ject and that "Child's Welfare Day"
be designated by the governor of every
state. February, the 18th instant, is
the date commonly appointed. Conform
ing to this suggestion, | do hereby re-
quest that every father and mother in
the Green Mountain state devote some
part of that day to the conservation of
child welfare. A form of conservation

Let loving hearts respond and methods
be adopted to promote this significant
object. This should be our sincere and

Municipal improvements cost money,
Montpelier knows. A tax rate Of $l.9o
looks large, since Montpelier got along
so many years on $l.50; but Montpelier
citizens can take the satisfaction that
they have something to show for it.
That has been Barrels solace when facing
the high tax proposition; but Barre
hopes that it is on the descending scale
as regards the tax rate.

Mortified Late To-day.

st. Johnsbury, Sept. ll.-Caledonia
county fair opened yesterday under
pleasant skies, for session of four
days. Everything points to better

ty-fve TO fifty pairs of matched beef
steers of Hereford blood and ii makes an
imposing bovine array when lined up on
the track for the parade. George c.
Cary of this place also exhibits large
number OF prize winning Durhams, to-
gether with ponies which have won prizes
at Chicago exhibitions.
Then besides, there are all the horses
and cattle, notably the former, which are
exhibited every year by T. Y. Vail of the
Speedwell farms of Lyndonville. His
line of beasts ranges all the way from
the tiny pony, vest-pocket edition. to
the largest Percheron stallion about
here. This large horse weighs upwards
of two thousand pounds.
George Dyott, who was to have per-
formed with his monoplane, wrecked his
machine in Pittsburg, Pa, last week
and wired that it was beyond repair

Three prominent railroad men had mar
row escapes from death. The private car
attached to the rear of the train carried
W. II. Conif, president of the division,
and President Dunston of the Fort
Wayne & Western railroad. This car
was attached to an engine and hauled
back to the station here where it was
held until the track could be cleared
and allow it a passage eastward.
1t was feared yesterday that sew
eral dead would be found under the de-
bris but at Gas o'clock last night, when
the tracks were partly cleared, no bodies
were discovered. One of the day coaches
was filled with Chinese on their way
east. None was seriously hurt.
The engine of the train, it is said,
passed safely over spreading rail,
but the tender was thrown off the
track causing the wreck. The derail
ment of the fender tore up the tracks.

the rear of the mail car, with the ex-
eeption of one in front of the private
car, then fell into an eight-foot ditch.
The train contained large amount
of silver but it could not be learned
from the railroad officials whether this
was in money or bars. Detectives were
hurried from Erie to assist the Nickel
Plate detectives to guard this silver
until the wrecking crew could clear tho
wreckage and arrangements could he
made for having it brought to the city.
The three railroad officials went for
ward after the accident occurred and
did all in their power to help the un
injured to Lake Shore trains and in this
way were hurried to their destinations.
