KNOWING AND DOING

Few OF us practice all the
, good methods that We know. 1t
is human nature to hang on to
the old order OF things even aft
er We have admitted the adyan-
tages of the new. Perhaps the
adoption of improved methods
may mean the breaking up of
! habits long since firmly estab.
! lished; details OF management
must be rearranged and read
justed: oftentimes new equip.
ment and additional expenditure
of capital are required. All this
demands initiative and strength
OF will and so the most OF us
simply go on procrastinating
from day to day. promising our.
selves that tomorrow or next
week or next year we will get
busy and make things hum, or.
as Riley says,
I've promise. engage and de-
clare,
Until every day is Yesterday,
And Yesterday is-where?"
Probably We as farmers are
particularly subject to this in
dictmeut. The agricultural col.
leges and the experiment sta
tons for years have been not
only telling US but actually
showing us improved methods
In every branch of farming. and
yet how few OF lis actually prac.
tice these methods. Let's muz.
zle the Imp that bids us delay
longer and make real progress
by doing what we already know
or can learn.

listing Governments.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-Prcsident
Wilson gave the first indication last night
of what the foreign policies of his adj
ministration are to be. He issued Il
statement dealing with the relations be
tween the United States and the Latin
American countries.
The statement virtually reattirms the
Taft policies and serves notice upon the
turbulent elements OF Latin America
that the United States viii insist upon
law, order and constitutional govern
ment in the southern republics.
The Wilson statement is dierct
thrust at Castro, Zclaya and others who
are understood to bc plotting for the de
struction Of existing governments in
certain Latin American countries. 1t is
a severe blow to the plans of those pro
fessional revolutionist9 who had conHincec
themselves that license would be premit
ted in Central America under a Dcmorra
tie administration at Washington.

Today she is about 94 years old and

Francis Morse married and later died,

WILSON AND THE

Postmaster General Says Administra-
tion Policy Has Not Been
Determined.

WASHINGTON, March l.. Post
master General Burleson. who remained
with the president for some time after
the cabinet meeting yesterday, later gave
his opinion of Mr.. Taft's order placing b.
600 third and fourth-class postma~ters in
the classified service. The policy of the
administration toward that order has not
been determined" said Mr.. Burleson.
PERSONALLY | am in sympathy with it. but
| do not believe it went far enough in
that many men are retained in office for
political reasons. instead OF having to pass
test of merit, which should have been
required"
The postmastcr-gencrals declaration was
the subject of some comment, as the third
and fourth-class postmaster> Of the prizes
sought by thousands Of democrats
throughout the country. Those who heard
him make the statement were not certain
that he meant to convey the idea that the
Taft order would not be rescinded and that
a new order would be promulgated which
would require the merit test.

Wants to Land 90 Victories to Make
1900 as Manager.

WEST BADEN, Ind. March l2.-
Thirteen hundred victories Is the mark
Manager Fred Clarke of the Pirates has
set for his team to reach for him this

more victories which will give him that
total in IA years that he viii have been
at the helm of the Pirate machine.
In the Is wears that Clarke has been
at the helm he has recorded 1901 vic
tories and 1872 defeats, giving him a
percentage of .621. Other managers
such as McGraw of New York, and
Chance, now of the New York High
landers, have better averages, but they
are for greatly reduced periods.
Chance has a record of having won
two out of every three games, a per
centage of .667, that is IA games won,
500 lost. His record was made in sew
en- years. McGraw in ten years has
won $50 games and lost $50, an av-
erage of $50.
Not only would Clarke like to round
out an even 1900 victories, but he
would also like to annex another Ma
tional League pennant and world 5
championship. In the years he has
been manager he led the team to the
highest hOnOrs in the National League
four times. -Four times he finished see
Ond and once he tied for second hon
ors.
Three times he finished third and
only once fourth. He captained and
managed the team on two world 5
championship events, dropping one to
Boston in 1903 and annexing one from
Detroit in 1909.
