SPORTING NOTES,

Today will tell: viii it be Bates,
Maine, Bowdoin or Colby? We're bet
ting on Bates though agree that
Maine looks good.
1t is well 10 remember that Van. Will
kie, who is referred to constantly as
Yale's new quarter-miler. did sos fiat
in the Freshman dual meet with Har-
ward at New Haven, last year. They
now say he has shown 49s in trials.
You can get some idea of the
strength of the wind that was blowing
at Hanover last Saturday, by the fact
that it was found necessary to have
men hold the hurdles to keep them
from being blown over.
For the first time in Is years, the
Onwentsia Club of Chicago will not
hold its annual invitation golf tourna-
ment, the announcement, Friday, put

of existence, temporarily at least. Lack
of interest in tournaments of late
years is given as the reason for cali
ing the event off. ID
Fred l.. Ramsdell, the former Uni
versity Of Pennsylvania Splinter and
football player, left Philadelphia, Oh
Friday, for San Antonio. where he
will assume the duties Of director OF
athletics at the University of Texas.
He first started in athletics at the lat
ter institution and made reputation
as runner there before coming 10
Pennsylvania.
The half-mile run in the Penn-Dart-
mouth dual meet at Hanover was
something like the Harvard Yale cross
country run, last fall. Each college
had four men in the race and the last
Dartmouth man finished ahead of the
first Penn runner. Pennseys quartet
went out ard set the pace against the
strong wind and the Dartmouth run
ners sheltered by their opponents
waited until the last furiong and then
rushed out in front Of their dead OPP
ponents.

a vital objection to the statewide

advantage that men Of wealth and
great ambition have over merely good
men. such men are willing to spend
money to obtain advertising and votes,
while the well qualified men are un-
willing or have not the means to
spend
taking up the subject of bosses, Mr..
TAFT said: s"They have some redeem
inc Qualities" and faughingly referred
to himself as having had the reputs-

ssThc only reason why the govern

been tolerable Is because leaders IN
Nuw York have had thought for pub

hos,es that they entertain healthy
fear Of defeat at the polls.
Prof. Taft would dismiss chiefs OF
all federal offices, except post offices
ana would elevate the chief deputies
IN those Offices with raise OF from 10
to 90 per cent. in salary, if he had ms
way.
....As long as all federal appointments.
except those as fourth class postmas-

to be too busy playing politics to learn

Couple of Centuries Ago.

They Are Just About as They Were
Couple of Centuries Ago.
The belief &C many people that the
seasons are undergoing some kind OF
change has led Professor Ignazio Call
to examine the weather records OF tie
entire eighteenth century.
The investigations Of Professor Call
show fifty-one winters that lasted well
Into spring. thirty-one warm winters
thirteen unusually early winters,
twelve mild winters followed by cold
springs. eleven mild winters followed
by mild springs. eleven cold autumns,
eight very warm springs. eight sum-
mers with froStS and tive very warm
autumnS. There was one instance OF
six consecutive warm seasons. More
than thr"e-quarterS Of the periods OF
unusual weather occurred between the
middle cf autumn and the end VI
spring. Many times during the eight
ccnth century the same apparent anon
allies REQUIRED Mt the same seasons IN
several successive years. In every case
the seasons regaiued their normal char
lcteristicS.
There have always been persons who
imagined that the seasons were becom-
ing warmer or colder than before.
There IS. however. small foundation
for such beliefs. The world has in
deed experienced many cold summers
and many warm winters. but such sea-
sons are not the rule. but the eIcep-
tion.-Youth'S Companion.

attended, and were highly pleasing as
well as profitable. The correspondent
speaks OF them as follows:
1.-TWO highly Interesting and instruc-
tive farmers Institutes have been held
in Clarendon county, one at Oak Grove,
near Summerton, on Wednesday, and
the other at Sardinia The principal
speakers were as follows: L. l.. Baker.

the importance Of soil building by ro-

sULZER SERIOUSLY WINGED.

There are two sides to almost
everything and now the State of
New York is the central figure
in the spot light; the action OF
the general assembly impeach
ing Governor SuIzer is attract
ing more attention than any
other matter of a public nature.
.even Governor Lli:d's mission
to Mexico has been somewhat
obscured oy the proceedings at
Albany. There are many who
believe SuIzer is the victim of
intrigue, that Tammany has
started out to crush him because
it could not control him. which is
not unusual in this day Of greed
and grasping. There seems to
be very little confidence IN Tam
mauy's object to vindicate the
honor Of the Empire state and the
prevailing opinion is, Tammany
wants Sulzer removed because
he stood between it and its aims,
and also to serve as a warning
to others that they must not go
counter to the wishes and inter-
ests Of the great organization.
Then too. there are many others
who believe Sulzer is a polltl-
clan who has played his cards
for his individual advantage,
that his opposition to Tammany's
measures was the result of be.
trayal of his friends who made
him what lie is, that he became
obsessed with the idea that
Murphy and his organization
was not in good standing with
the Wilson administration, and
he sought to win favor with the
national administration at the
expense of Tammany. hence his
break with the organization, and
It's efforts to have him removed
from Office in disgrace. There
are many of the opinion that no
matter how things turn out for
Sulzer, whether he IS adjudged
guilty and thrown out of Office
or not, he is done for politically
and will never again figure as
potent force, while others will
look upon him as martyred
hero, and if they fail to convict
him he will so before the coun
try at large as candidate for
president. Sulzer was promi-
nentlY in the minds of the dele
gates at the National convention
as possibility for the presi'
dency, had they failed to nomi'
nate Wilson, it is thought Sui.
zer would have been the com
promise, but since the develop
ments at Albany. in our opinion,
he will not figure nationally any
more.
