THE EXTERMINATOR OF
DEMOCRATS

II the democrats are ever to haye
their day, it is to be the fifth day q
next November
The Republican party is clearly in
most discouraging plight. Tt is too
weak just now to enter into a great
presidential battle, such as eonfronts it.
Worse yet, its weakness is the weak
ness of corruption. Its rank and file
have fallen away because of the con-
viction which prevails that it is too
mueh under the control of political
bosses, Of grafters, and of Big Business.
Two years ago the insurgents tried to
clean up the party. They sought to
purge it of its corruption and unright-
eousness. They failed.
Ii they had succeeded, the republic
can party would now be invincible as
in the days of yore, and marching
valiantly onward to another conflict
and overwhelming victory.
But they failed.
And ere long DEMOCRATS began to
crowd the House of Representatives at
Washington, and the old standpat
'war horses" of the republican party
began to drop from sight. In beating
the insurgents, who demanded a clean
ing up of the corrupt organization, they
wrote their own political doom; and
who will say that it was not Just?
But it didn't pay.
1t would have better for the republi.
cans to clean their own house than to
have to move out and let their enemies
do it for them. The trouble was that
they didn't propose to do either.
The democrats are in the ascendant;
but it must not be forgotten that they
are conquering not in their own name,
or by any virtue, which they have been
shown to possess. They have not won
by their own strength bat by the weak
ness and rottenness of the republican
party. They have been raised on
pedestal of clay; and it may begin to
crumble at any time probably very
soon. The history OF the party is
running record OF disastrous blunders.
Already they are. planning to tinker
the tariff How often they have tried
it before, and always with the came
results ignominy and disgrace, and
quick retirement from power. Tariff is
sure death to democrats, and those who
have committed suicide with it in the
Past are leg ON. 1t ought to be kept
cat d ,heir reach.
This is what Mr.. Taft has tried to do.
"a siying rs the Tariff Commissions and
tag ptr Of revising ONE schedule at
tiiae, he has pat the tariff where it can
produce no more psnics and extermi-
aate no mere democrats. Bat the lat
ter are unwilling to have it SO: and
already they are threatening to do
away with Mr.. Taft's Tariff Commis-
sion.

SAN FRANCISCO, Fe1., 3:-"Jack g Johnson is a queer fighter" remark ed sport who keeps close tabs on the development of the pugilistic belt He says he won't tackle Sam Nc Vea or Jim Flynn until he gets S3O006 cold. but declares he is willing to trade punches with Jim Corbett just for the fun Of the thing.
 Well. what's the difference? What Jack Johnson says matters little. 1t is what he does that counts. And the man who can prediC' with any de gree of certainty. the nature of Jacks activities during the next few months must be gifted with second sight in an extraordinary degree
 Here are a couple Of guesses. If Johnson boxes either McVea or Flynn the remuneration will be considerably less than S30.O00. If Johnson and Cor bett meet face to face there will be no blood shed.
 Black Is Contradictory
 Johnson's speeches and actions for many months past haVs been a tumble of contradictions He has muddled things to such an extent that at times 1t seems as though he is laughing in his sleeve at all creation. He went to England and denounced America He came back here and flouted Eng land.
 While across the pond he entered in to contract to box McVea in Aus tralia He changed his mind and gave out that he had retired. He was sc persistent in telling that he was through with the vanities of the ring that experts the world around began arguing as to who was best entitled to grab his laurels.
 When appealed to for an opinion Johnson said that he did not care

rap who claimed the cka mpionshlp O. tho fought for it. He was out of it and took no further interest in it.
 When Jack came back, he said, with never . suspicion of a smirk or smile that he couldn't for the life Of him imagine how that retirement rumor got around. He had not retired. No indeed. he was still in the game with both feet and both hands and all he wanted was the price. Let some one fiaunt a check for $3O.000 in his face and he would sign articles quickly enough to make the check giyer's head swim.
 Interest IS Revived
 It is no fallacy to state there was general satisfaction in sporting circles when Johnson made known he was still in the game. IL may be that the public resented the idea Of Johnson breaking away from the ring unlick- ed or it may be that the myriads who are interested in boxing felt that, with the master heavyweight withdrawn from the game, the bottom would fall out of the top-notch division.
 Anyhow, Johnsons announcement that he was ready to take up the cudgels again renewed interest in the heayyweights and there was much speculation as to where the first chal ianger would come from. Mcintosh thei Australian promotes. repeated his offer of match with McVea and Johnson accepted.
 "I am to box sam McVea in Sydney on Easter Monday" said Jack. Curley Secures Match A little later the news WAS forth coming that the match would take place in Paris that that was one sniff for which Johnson was not respon ] sible The Wowser element" as the opponents of boxing are called ir

 By Spalding

NEW HAVEN. Conn. Feb. 3.--For the first time in several years Yale has decided to have winter training for the football candidates. and Cap tain Jesse Spalding has issued call for the drill to begin on Monday. The situation is created by the loss of all the varsity quarter backs. Cap tain Howe. Strout and Merritt will all be graduated in June. and a months drill for the new material is planned by Captain Spalding. Only tee quarter backs will begin work al present, but the half backs will be given some practice before the indoor drill is over
 Arthur Howe. captain of the eleven last fall, has not given his consent to act as head coach next fall. Ills family has other plans for him. but he will give his answer 10 Captain Spalding's invitation soon. Whether he accepts or declines the offer, he will direct the coaching of the quarter backs during the indoor sea son. The drill will be on the sym. nasium floor.

BREAK SEEN COMING
 ON AMATEUR STATUES
Summer Ball to Disquali- fly Player Later on
 in Life

CHICAGO. Feb. 3.-Should college athletes be permitted to play on semi pro baseball teams there will be a complete break between the colleges of the west and the Amateur Athletic Union. According to the rules of the A. A. [. an athlete becomes profes- sional the minute he competes with a professional and that would include semi-pro teams or other teams on which any member is paid. It will make no difference whether the col lege athlete himself receives any money as he steps out of the amateur ranks the first time he competes with proI essionals.
 The new college conference rules will not work any hardship on the athlete while in college. although he will not be able 10 compete in any meet sanctioned by the A. X. '. but the rub will come after graduation when it will be impossible for him to compete with any amateur athletic club and strictly professional clubs are scarce.
 Bar Sure To Come
 T do not know what action the Ma tional A A. [. will take should any case come before it,, said Everett C. Brown. president Of the Central A. A. t., last night, but should l be asked 10 vote on the eligibility of a man who has competed with professionals
 regardless of whether he reGsiyed money or not. l would be compelled to declare the man a professional. An amateur might not be financially bene- fited by playing with professionals, but the suspicion would be strong just the same. and we want to avoid the appearance of evil
 The A. A. '. has nothing to do
 with any action taken by colleges, as we have especially kept out of college baseball. but naturally should a college man wish to compete in any meet sanctioned by the A. i. |.
 we would naturally have to look up
 his record and it that record showed that he had competed with profession als he would be barred.
 Now there is distinction between competing against and with profes sionals which should not be lost sight of 4 college team might compete ! against a professional team without 1 professionalZing any of the members but it is different when the men com pete with professionals. Allowing q
 man to compete with professionals or those who take money for exhibit 1 ing their skill, would have the effect of putting temptations in his way and the A A Y. has always frowneC on that practice, as it is practically ! impossible to prove whether or moi money has been paid out or received. In the past the college and the A A. U have never been able to meet on a common ground except in isolat { ed cases. There has been friction continually and the charges have beer made that the A. A. '. has been toe | lax in the enforcement of amateur ! rules. Now officers of the A. 4. U l think that the shoe will be on tho other foot should the different facul [ ties Of the college conference bacl | up the action taken Saturday. 4 nun | Der of the minor colleges had previ ! ously taken action in regard to sum 1 meT ball, letting the bars down with ! out specifying wjth what kind oi ! teams the college athletes could play

 "I will get Mcintosh to postpone the McVea fight There are more peorle in Paris in the fall" was what the champion vouchsaied by way of explanation Incidentally not word has been heard Of the McVea arair since. Perhaps Mcintosh has grown weary of chasing chimeras.

Chicken Race War

From the New York Times.
 "A sectional issue has arisen in our town.v said the commutor. Before it is settled I am afraid the Civil War will be fought all over again. Any how. our Southern friends are sure to indulge in some fire-eating language.
 "A resident of our village. who un- dertook to raise chickens. received n crate of fowls from a South Carolina farm When the neighbors learned where the chickens came from, they raised row.
 q If you must raise chickens they said. get northern chickens. They don't crow nearly so much as Southern chickens. There Is something Ffn the climate down there that makes chick en crow four times as often as a chick en brought up in any other part of the country
 That peculiarity of Southern chick ems was newsSto the amateur poultry man. He Hoticed. however, that the chickens rfally did crow more persis- tently than any other chickens he had 1 ever known. and when an experienced poulter6r assured him that they always would, because Southern chickens al. ways do. he sold them and bought New l Jersey chickens instead.
