The Great American Game

There never was a time in the history OF the
world when athletics, in fact, all kinds OF sports lid"
such a hold on the human family; there never was
q time in the history OF the world when pAysicai
development was so near the height OF perfectlon.
n fact, but few realize the far-reaching influence OF
sports today, There is at their disposal, all the wealth.
Of nations which is, necessary to perfect every feature
In the development. The telegraph and telephone
companies give the sport news preference over every
thing else. The newspapers feature sports more OK
tensiyely and spend more money on these features
than on any others:
There is nothing which distracts the mind OF the
business man and which will pull him away from his
desk more willingly than baseball; nothing will lure
the small boy from his task at school so magically as
the ball game: no sport catches the attention ana
admiration Of the ladies equal to the great American
g9ne. 1t is the greatest magnet on earth.
Time was when the professional baseball player
was not considered much among men, but the science
81. the game has developed to that degree which de-
n,ands the very best heads, as well as bodies in the
nation, To have become one Of the big players is a
Recommendation for leyel-headedness, and good ludg

Keen judgment, caution, quick and anerring decision
together with a steady and dependable nerve
During the past week the world has again enjoyed
mi exhibition OF great ball playing a battle between
the two greatest organizations in the world. a.aei
Their games attracted the attention Of the world
and, while the contest was not SO stubborn as those
Of similar games in seasons past, yet 1t was splend't
bell and was a battle Of giants, winning the admira

That baseball is easily the greatest game Of tai
,rld goes without saying.

Federal Aid for HiQhwQvS

Secretary Houston OF the department of agricul-
ture says that the state and federal governments
should work together for highway Improvement in
order that a. large *proportfongof the money annually
spent for road construction may not be wasted.
In his own department the Office Of. public roads
has been demonstrating the value Of proper road
bui]ling by the construction Of certain objectlesson
roads, and the forest service Is carrying out his idea
of national and state cooperation in. road building.
The law requires that 10 per cent OF the gross re-
.ceipts from the national forests shall be spent in.
the states in which the, forests are situated. This
money is expended for. road Improvement under direct
control Of the secretary Of agriculture. III
The amount appropriated under, this act, based on
the receipts of the national foreses for the, fiscal year
ending June 80, 1913, is s234,6Ss.eS From the 1912
receipts for this 10 per cent road item, there is an
additional 1884, S31.1O, which is still available.
In administering the 10 per cent road fund, forest
officers charged with the actual plans and expendi-
lures in the neighborhood of their, forests have, in
almost all cases, secured an equal or a larger cooper
ative fund from state authorities for the building OF
certain pieces of road.
With the. money thus expended many important
reads are being built or put in repair. One on the
Wyoming national forest, six miles long, makes &C
cessible to farmers a large body of timber and opens
up a region of great scenic beauty. In northwestern
Arizona, part of the fund will be used in connection
with the LeFevre-Bright Angel road, Important be-
cause it makes accessible to tourists the Grand Can
yon Of the Colorado. In one place, the Ocean to
Ocean Highway crosses the Apache national forest,
Arizona, and on this project. the forest service and
the local; authorities corpperated enthusiastically On
the Florida national forest, in. western, Florida stee!!
bridges and graded roads have, under the stimulus
of this fund, taken the place of corduroy, bog and
sand. ,4s.. "A. ~.
This federal road fund is now, available III all
national forest states Of the west. just as ,fast4aa
returns come in, the forestry officials say. q similar
fund will become, available in states in which eastern
national forests are being secured.

they love the poet who sings the songs that. open their

Ne,u York Republicans

Il. The republicans Of New York state are determined
to- open. the door wide for a reconciliation OF the

publicans of the respective states to elect their dele
gates to national conventions according to their oMn
ideas. AT the Chicago convention the ebitterest +coA'
test was over the seating of a few delegates elected
from congressional districts In California. Under 4
state law, Roosevelt claimed to have elected the
entire state delegation. BY the rules of the national

from congressional districts and under these rules the
district delegates from California We're given the dis

Eiqhh Per Cent of Fires Pxevenabe

State fire %rnarshals, the federal authorities and fire
experts generally have estimated the pro-
portion of fires due to preventable causes at between
Is and SO pr cent of the total number of fires. The
Texas state insurance board, an official body, holds
that practically 80 per cent of the fires are prevent
able by the exercise Of reasonable care and protection,
individual and municipal.
These figures, of the Texas. board are the more
because they cover every fire reported to
it by the local authorities under the provisions Of the
state law since December i, 1910, now totaling 24,3SSS.
This is the largest mass Of official data available, and
furnishes. a sufficiently broad basis Of average to be
[conclusiye, while the fact that it is furnished and
~tabulated by local and state officials puts 1t in a
different class from statistics collected by the insur.
'ance companies, which might be suspected of drawing
conclusions. to suit their own interests. In fact, the
state authorities so much further than the insurance
men in estimating the proportion Of fires that are
preventable. s
OF II .11S dwelling fires, the Texas board holds
that S3.1 per cent were due to preventable causes,
and of the 1850 fires in all other classes except
cotton gins and automobiles, which are excluded
because they. burn from inherent causes, the board
holds that 75.4 per cent we're preventable. Com
(menting on these figures the Texas board says:
1T will be noted in the data herein presented that
more than 1S per cent of all fires charged to the
dwelling CLASS alohe' IFOW AhoWA causes, NE icy
suit of defective fues. The unsafe installation -
stoves and other heating devices IN that class OF ria3s
is responsible for II per cent Of losses, while sparks
on roof produced more than s per cent of dwelling
fires. Theseyer,present menace Of the tallitnaeele rocf
us in evidence on every hand. and particularly is it
noticeable in almost every cause shown carrying q
heavy ,percentagea OF, losses. 1t will be noted that
E~gasoline. aud other volatile, fires are entered with q

as they SHOULD be, due salHest entirely to

EFT. He isn't a popular leader, exact
ly. Many people in this Bull Moose
stronghold call him a reactionary.
Anyhow, he has trained with the
standpat Republican bunch, and been
a member of the ruling clique in Mar
qUette County overthrown by T. r.
last fall Besides, men of Newett's
truculent character and vocabulary
make plenty of enemies. But his
foes respect his scrapping qualities,
and his friends swear by him. And
Newett stands by his friends.
That's what got him into this mix
up with Roosevelt. The colonel had
jumped onto Congressman H. o.
Young of Ishpeming, Newett's life
long friend. It was a political meet
ing in Marquette, October 9.
Roosevelt, in sermon on the text,
'Thou shalt not bear false witness"
bawled out the Congressman as an
attorney of the steel trust. There
upon one John r. Van EVera rose up
in meeting and told Roosevelt he was
a liar, who know, or ought to know,
that Young had dropped his steel
trust work when he entered Congress
ten years ago. And then Friend New
EFT wrote the piece for his paper,
which appeared three days later, re-
peating that the colonel was a liar,
and adding, by way of good measure,
that he was drunkard, a blasphem-
er and a bad loser.
Col. Roosevelt, in his libel suit,
passes over the charges that he "lies
and curses in a most disgusting way"
saying that such aVerments are sin
some measure a matter of opinion"
But he insists that the drunkenness
charge is "a false, scandaIous, ma
Iicious and defamatory libel" and
asks $4,000 damages.
The defendant replies that the ac-
cusation was true, and therefore was
legitimate campaign material, and he
aNnacfs TO prove it.
