Pentathlon" and the ''Decath-
lon.
The Swedes don't specialize in
sports. They worship the man
who holds a medal, and medals
are given only to the most prof
cient in a number of sports, The
man who wins the ''Pentatflon,
for example, must broad jump,
run 200 metres, 1900 metres,
throw the iavelin and discus. The
"Decathlon" is the same with 100
metres instead of 200, and in ad-
dition, 400 metres, ITO metres
hurdle, high jump, pole vault and
shot put.
The Modern Pentathlon" is a
scream, as an athletic event, as 1t
includes duel-shooting, swim
ming, riding and cross-country
horse race. You can imagine the
chance an American will have in
the duel shooting and cross-coun-
try race. Even England is sore,
although getting her own medi-
cine.
But the end is in sight. At the
last meeting of the international
committee the step was taken to
establish a fixed athletic program
for Olympiads, no matter where
held. This will be voted on at
Stockholm and the temper of the
committee indicates its adoption.
The need for action is appar-
ent. Take boxing Swedes
consider it brutal and degrading.

.of-war rules. either. The Brit
ishers slipped one over in this
event in 1903, with trick, which
consisted of having their team
turn at a given moment, when the
muscles used in pulling were
tired, and with the new muscles
brought into play pulled oppo-
nents off their feet.
Sweden knows about this trick
and as it isn't Swedish trick
England will find it tabooed.
A set program is the solution.
You can't expect a nation to dis
card on the other fellows ace
when he holds trumps. Fixed
rules and new deal will be fair
to all.
A prominent British official
says of the situation, 1--WE learn
by our mistakes" which interpre-
ted, means, "'the toe of the shoe
feels different when the other fell
low wears it."
Sweden will beat the pistol this
year, for the program is made to
order for Ernie Hjertbergs
pupils and they are the men the
American entry must defeat to
win the games.

WANT $1,000 FOR
OLD LADIES' HOME.

Jackson, Miss, May 27.-The Old
Ladies' Homes Association is making
an effort to raise fund of $4,000 to be
used in the construction of an annex
to the home in the western suburbs
Of this city.
The annex Is badly needed, as the
present institution is filled to over
flowing, and many worthy and indi
gent old ladies cannot secure admis
sion because Of lack of room.
Miss Mamie G. Calhoun, CORE
spending secretary, is sending cir
cular letter to local circles throughout
the state urging them to put forth
earnest efforts in behalf Of the build
ing fund. The association has about
$4,000 on hand. and the new 2S-room
structure will cost about $4,000. A
loan for the balance has been negoti
ated, and work on the structure will
be pushed as rapidly as possible, but
1t will be necessary to repay the loan
before the end of the year.

Jersey City, May 27.--President Taft

jackson, Miss, May 27.-The pas.

labor employed in saw mills in Mis-.

reduction in the wages of employees
at lumber manufacturing plants.
As a result vigorous protest is
being made by mill employes,some oi

right the legislature had to meddls
with their affairs, anyhow, as no or
ganized demand was made for the en-
actment of statute Of that charac

1t is the evident purpose of the
lumber manufacturers. however, te
strictly obey the ten-hour law, and
they declare that If the working time
which heretofore has been twelve
hours, is cut down, 1t is necessary t.
make corresponding cut in wages.
AS the saw mill employees are moi

MISSISSIPPI REPUBS
LIKELY TO
FLOP
-
Roosevelt Agents Have Been In state
And instructions May Be
ignored.

Jackson, Miss. May 27.-If 1t Is the
intention of any of the negro delegates
from Mississippi to the Republican
national convention to bolt their in
structions to vote for Taft, they are
keeping the fact strictly to themselves.
Up to this time Roosevelt is posi-
lively assured of only two of Missis-
sippi's votes, p w. Howard, of this
city, and Chas. Banks, of Mound
Bayou, both of whom announced their
allegiance to the Oyster Bay candidate
after they had been nominated by the
regular party convention. Both had
been previously chosen by the inde-
pendent convention held by the Roose-
welt followers.
That some of the other negro. dele.
gates will break away from the admin.
istration leaders, however, grows more
certain as Roosevelt's chances con
tinue to improve, and the reticence
they are now manifesting is merely a
bit of political caution reasonable to
expect from delegates who will play
an important part in the convention,
but whose state will not be of any
value to the Republican party insofar
as the November election is con.
cerned.
Agents of the Roosevelt campaign
bureau sent here from Washington
have been In the state during the past
week, and it Is learned on good au'
thority that they paid visits to certain
negro delegates who are under instruc'
tions to vote for Taft.
Insofaras convictions or principles
are concerned, the average Mississippi
negro has no choice between Taft and
Roosevelt. Usually, he Is In the game
for what he can get out of it, and fol
fows a faction simply for the revenue
that may be derived therefrom. In
view of this state Of affairs, 1t will not
be surprising IL some lively Hopping
takes place when the Mississippi del
egation reaches Chicago, and the flop
ping may not be confined entirely to
the negro delegates, ten In number
1t is currently rumored that some Of
the white delegates are getting weak
kneed in their political allegiance,
