Solomon and has no interest in the
matter other than mere curiosity.
AS to little Jackie Clark who is also
! receiving a fair share of your atten-
| ton just now, whenever Jackie lays
down" and does not give the Velo-
drome patrons a ride for their
money, he should be criticised. And
on the event of his getting "swelled
| head" by reason of the meritorious
riding that he has done, 1t may be
/ that a dressing down now and then
will bring about a more modest esti-
mate of his actual value as a public
/ drawing card. 1t does not follow,
though, that an invitation to seek
| other fields-or the serving of a no.
tice upon him that he is not wanted,
consequently that his room is better
| than his company, is the best way
| to bring about the desired end. If
| it is natural with him it will be hard
| to change him, and the more pointed
| the advice the less effective it will
| be. Jackie does not look like a "bull-
| head neither does he favor sore
! head" unless he is deliberately goad-
ed into being one, or both; but if he
! is, then why not let him sink into
| gentle obscurity rather than adver-
tise his shortcomings so freely? In
conclusion, if Jackie can .buffalo"A
as you say he does-the track owners
and the manager. he is to be con-
graduated. He has brought them
more dollars than they have ever
paid him or ever will pay him, and
any rider who can lord it over Mr..
MacFarland undoubtedly does it
from sheer merit. So that from this
angle-if from no other-he is more
to be envied than censured This,
! however, is merely opinion, although
as Mark Twain once said: at is the
difference of opinion that makes a
horse race" Sincerely yours,
w. II. J..
AS regards My Solomon, he has
done sufficient to warrant about ten
times more criticism than he has re-
ceived. You are not enough inter-
ested for me to bother you with de-
tails. but suffice it to say that the
war began on his side of the army
"a letter to- Mr.. Solomon would no
doubt draw reply and then you
would likely find out what a nice fell
low ] am. However, my opinion of
Solomon has been given publicly in
these columns. So you are a regular
old "part-taker." You follow up your
curiosity anent Solomon with sort of
an ''old granny" interest in "Poor
Little Jackie CLARK" The most salts
factory way for you to adjust con-
ditions to your liking would be to
come to the Star Office and take full
charge of things here. AS a barber
you have missed your vocation. You
are big enough and smart enough
to be of more use to your country
Great sport for YOU, no doubt. would
be to invite Solomon and Clark up
to your home and then you could tell
them just how much you think of
them. 1t will be all right under your
own, roof and then, too, the gentlemen
could say some nice things about you
and some naughty things about me
and everybody would have a jolly
time. Your penmanship is delightful,
and for a man who has such little
| interest in an affair that he spends
sufficient time to write three full
pages of advice, criticism and sobs
about it, you must be classed as a
wonder
