FRENCH PHYSICAL EDUCATION.

The physical education of the
youth of France is soon to be taken
in hand and properly directed. There
is already, and there has been for
some time, a steadily growing ell
thusiasm among the boys of the
country for athletics, but this en-
thusiasm, unless properly regulated,
is not calculated to produce anything
like the best results. M. Gabriel Ben
valot is at the head of an important
and popular movement which has for
its object the proper direction of the
physical education of the French
youth.

PROGRESS ON CAPE COD CANAL,

1t is estimated that the 25,0O0,000
tons of shipping which rounds Cape
Cod during the year will be so far
benefited by the opening of the Cape
Cod canal that it wiz be perfectly
willing to pay a toll for the use of
the canal. The 100000 tons of
coal shipped annually to eastern
ports will find the inner and shell
tered route of great advantage, and
probably the greater part of this, or
such part as is carried in barges, will
avail itself of the canal.

Of Bemidji. The names ON the petit

with which the business men signed
the petition must carry considerable
weight.

Bemidji to elect few men with pay
to govern the city. These men will
Ue subject to the recall SO that il they
are remiss in the performance of their
duty, others can be put in their
places. Details are to be worked out
by the charter commission but the
plan is general The men who run
the city should be paid the same as
anyone else.
The old charter commission auto
ma tiCally went out OF existence
when it failed to report within six
months or be granted an extension Of
time The new commission must re-
port a charter within six months or
it will go out also. Men interested
in this movement have been gaher-

An Official Protest.

TO let the Mcdonald statement
stand before the senate temperance
committee, and through it the legis-
lature, and the twin city papers
without an official protest from the
city Of Bemidji is to acquiesce in the
sentiment expressed. The directors
OF the Commercial club should have
repudiated that statement at once

ter could easily be taken up on the

sofa who have been fighting for their
Just representation for many years,
the action of the house and senate in
passing fair reapportionment bill is
gratifying While the measure as
passed does not give a person in Bel
trami county the same representation
as d person in one Of the southern
counties, the two are closer together
than before. 1t can be considered
that material step has been gained.
To Beltrami county, the bill gives
a. representation which has long been
denied. Coupled with Koochiching,
this county gets one senator and two
representatives Beltrami county
has something over 10000 people and
Koochiching less than half as much.
But the two counties are facing the
same development problems and Bel
trami could not be better Joined with
another county. r. / gs.l 40
1t is altogether probable that Be-
midi will be represented in the next
legislature. BY having two other
men from this part Of the state, the
people here will be in fair way to
get some consideration.

to see the worlds series to begin MAX
ing inquiries about rates and accommo-
dations in the City of Brotherly Love
next October. For several weeks now the
prophets have been looking for Dooin's
machine to show signs of cracking, but
never crack has yet shown. The only
sign of one was when they lost those
four games to the Giants nearly a month
ago.
The Giants are pounding along playing
alternately like champions of champions

generally do Pittsburg doesn't seem to

and Brooklyn are running neck and neck
for the last place in the first division with
the chances aare that Evers will finally

their own.
In the American league, there doesn't
seem to be anybody capable of stopping
the Athletics. Cleveland is holding up
well and shows signs of being able to hold
the pace awhile longer If not for the
whole season. Like the Pittsburgs, the
Red Sox seem to be unable to get going

John Anderson by stealing third which

before he reached the bag Cobb took in
the situation and promptly stole back to
second again before the astounded Sem
ators could make a successful play for
him. AS Cobb is troubled with his eyes
this year he is naturally seriously ham
dfcapped in his batting, and at the pres
ent time is only hitting around .425. Jen-
n1ngs is in the process of building UP a
new club. In Gainor and Witt he has a

Veach and High are doing good work for

St. Louis, June a0-Carl Weiman, the
big left handed pitcher of the st. Louis
Americans, looks like one of the best

ball and his control. Carl has a control

tains the altitude of six feet seven inches.
In spite of the spareness of his build, he
weighs 1893 pounds. His age is % years.
AS his habits are exceptionally good, he
ought to have long and prosperous ca
reer if his future performances live up to
what he has done so far.
Weilman got his start in baseball
through an accident. Carl is a machinist
by trade, and for several years worked
in a big shop in the thriving manufacture
ing town of Hamilton, O., 25 miles north
OF Cincinnati. 1t was his habit to lay off
on Saturday afternoons to play first base
for a semi-pro team in Hamilton. Sun
day morning he would take a train for
Liberty, Ind, 80 miles from Hamilton, and
pitch for the Liberty outfit every Sabbath
afternoon.
One day a baseball goods man arrived
in Hamilton with the purpose of unload
ing a few balls bats and gloves on local
firm. While 'gassng" with the Hamilton
dealer the salesman happened to pick up
a score book. AS he glanced through the
scores he saw the name of Weilman with
great frequency.

Not 35. 900 Statesmen

From the New York Evening Post.
1t is estimated by the Constantinople
correspondent of the London Times that
$4,000 human beings have perished by
massacre during the Balkan conflict: not
slain in battle, but slaughtered in the
course of irregular fighting or simply
butchered by blood-mad soldiery. These
massacres were foreseen by statesmen
on both Sides yet they were not allowed
to stand in the way of the plans for
mulated by such statesmen. After this,
what use is there of speaking of panics
and idle factories? All that a man has
will he give for his life. If the prospect
of being shot down on his own doorstep
or of seeing his wife and children
slaughtered, is no deterrent of war to a
man when once the battle lust has
seized upon him, how can the fear Of
seeing his shop or his harvest go to ruin
effect him? No, If the demon of war is
to be exocised, it will be done by no ap-
peal to prudential considerations. but by
insistence upon the horrors of war as ex-
pressed in terms of human life, of the
evil passions let loose. of the resulting
oppression of the weak by the strong,

PROMISE OF A CHAMP
Coast Lightweight Handles Mandot With Apparent Ease
Predicted Comer-Bob Fitzsimmons Thinks That
Commercialism Has Ruined Boxing Game
BY JEFF THOMPSON.

New York, June 21-Bob Fitzsimmons
is the latest convert to the proposition
that commercialism has pretty nearly
spoiled the good old game of prize fight
ing. Too much talk, too much manager
and too little fighting tells the story
Here is the way Ruby Robert sizes ur
the situation now with what 1t was 20 OF
80 years ago:
Too much money for too little fight
ing Is taking the edge off the old sport
When l first came to America very good
men in all classes were glad to fight for
anything from a hundred or a couple of
hundred dollars up. Only the big cham
pions got big money.
Fighting was a rough game then. II
wasn't so much the money that drew
men to the ring. Most of them fought
because they'd rather fight than do any
thing else. Why, among the old time
lghtweights Joe Cans, Dal Hawkins Kid
McF'adden, Kid Mcfarland and that lot
any one of them would be world s
champion today-used to fight for purses
of $500, 5000 or $700. And the fight winner
would take on all and be glad to get the
chance"
Verify the man who put the punch in
solar pleXus speaks a parable here. While
realizing that with whitening hair and
wrinkles inclines one to yearn for the
things of long ago from mothers pie to a
frst-class prize fight, / am convinced
that this day of much newspaper space
and booming. big purses and loud mouthed
managers do not produce as good a breed
of fighting men as the old system when.
as Fftzsimmons says. men fought for the
fove of the game.
Then this short-bout, no-decision habit
