I and have stood the test They know
| what the gaff is when the battling gets
close.
The Boston Red Sox should repeat
this year Now, Joe Wood may not go
out and gather together a record OF
| thirty-four Victories and five defeats.
! hut Joe should be good enough 10 shoul-
, der Il majority OF the pitching burden.
Following Joe Wood, the SOx have
Hugh Bedicnt and Buck O'Brien, daz-
2ling young twirling artists. This trio
should eclipse Mack's three moundmen,
Plank Bender and Coombs, because
thev are in the midst Of their prime.
We place the Browns At the bottom,
because we think the Browns will come
in at that place. Here's hoping they
don't.
However, scanning the list of other
clubs. and what other managers and
magnates own. Stovall and Hedges have
IA tough time this summer.
The Browns are going to be a greatly
improved ball club. That is a Cinch.
And don't be surprised If they put up a
400 average for the season. But the
Browns must buck the Yankees. the
team they beat out, and when consider
ing that the Yanks had more tough luck
than all the other teams in the race
put together. it can be seen that they
should go better this year.
Watch Yanks With Chance
Then the Yanks have Frank Chance
Also Birdie Cree. Jake Wolter. Russ
Ford, and few more will be fit for
duty. This is one club that is sure to
climb In 1913.
Chance has the generalsh!p. and his
lone weak spot Is his .nfield IL the
p l.. can play first base and Chase can
play second this failing will be reme-
died. because there are several promis-
ing youngsters tor the other two spots.
Cleveland ought to "et the fourth
place, with the Tigers fifth, Yanks
sixth. and White SoX seventh.
The White SOX were lucky last year
They got off In front, played way be-
yond their ability. and 1t only was
their good start that kept them from
finishing down toward the tail end
Really. there is little In the West to
stop either the Red SoX. Athletics and
Nationals. That is. this Is the March
forecast.
Predicting baseball is uncertain. The
Browns may win the pennant and Bos-
ton may be last. But we have come
out with our forecast and we will stand
on ii. We may be wrong.
The pennant looks to be safe for the
Red SoX, though.

sooner or later men. of even the age of reason and far beyond get the fever here for the first time in their lives. They are never happy, the old codgers, until they can prance around to the tune of a two-step.
 If there were only one sex danc- ing would still be. popular. It would be a story without wo- man. With the sex intermingling it becomes a romance.
 The dances of Eskimos are far superior to the dances of whites. The natives tell story in their dance as a composer tells a story in his music. They by their emo tions suggest the story of a wal rus or bear hunt. We merely keep time like children. their dance is poetry. Ours is just jingling rhyme.
 Surely dancing is an awful waste of time. As eXecise it is useless unless for very fat peO- pie and very fat people have some difficulty in getting dances unless they dance alone. It takes the bloom which might have been on the cheeks if the same amount of were taken out of doors. But, after all, we love our bloom ing cheeks, but, oh, you bloom- ing three -step.--EX.

TOWNS THAT GROW.

In every country and in every state can be found towns that are continually forging ahead, while others remain practically at a standstill and accomplish nothing in the way of advancement. In every case the fault can be found to rest, not with the town, but with the people themselves. An eX- change has been thinking pretty seriously along this line and it presents it's conclusions in thi, way:
 "The reason why some towns grow is because they have men in them with push and energy who are not afraid to spend their time, energy and money in anything that will boom and benefit the town. They have confidence enough in their town to erect sub stantial and modern buildings and residences and work for pub lie improvements in the same or der.
 "They organize companies and establish factories, induce indus trial enterprise to locate and use every effort to further the best in terests of the town. Their work is never considered finished and the accomplishment of one thing is only an incentive of another.
 ''On the other hand the town that does not get ahead will be found to be dominated by either a set of men who are perfectly satisfied with their surroundings or who are afraid somebody else will benefit in the event some thing is started: consequently no. effort of any kind is made by this class for these two reasons.
 If some men OF set of men en- aeavor tu start something they are met by opposition and dis couragrmrnt and it is uphill work all the way and often failure.
 Every town. however, has a certain progressive element which hopes for turn of the idle when the town will go forward by leaps and bounds and occupy a position of importance and obtain numcr- ous advantages which go to make a good town in every sense.
 But this stage cannot be ac- complished by mere wishes or suppositions. It can only como from harmony in purpose and ac- lion and the eternal vigilence of its citizens.
 "The town with these things will continue to grow and inn prove, but the town without them can be expected to remain in state of lethargy indefinitely without affording it's residents but a mere existence"

DANCING.

Dancing is one of the many frequent occurrences which con- vey lessons but whose lessons us- ually pass off unheeded.
 In the first place it shows a man to be an exceedingly simple animal that likes to keep time with music. He shows this even when he walks down the street in which band is playing. Un- consciously he lets his feet march rythmically. Even the tune he whistles will be tapped off by his steps. There is evidently some thing in him which craves for harmony and for a riot of har- mony he goes to Eagle or A. B. hall.
 Marching to a tune is really dancing in it's simplest form. When soldiers march to band they are performing just as much as woman in the "throes" of a Salome and the crowd is tempt ed to cheer as the crowd is tempt ed to cheer at a Virginia reel or a Texas Tommy. ''The children cheered the; tramping feet that went to war away is phrase in one of those old songs which con- vey a much deeper meaning than one discerns at first. glance.
 In Alaska people go to dances who would never think of going to dances outside. Indeed dancing may be almost regarded as the national game of Alaska and

Senator Bacon vas renominated in the
primary last year. The legislature will
meet in June and ordinarily would elect
him. But under the amendment, the
legislature cannot elect a senator. ana
the legislature will have to make pro-

MOTOR CARS CAUSE A FOG.
London Finds Petrol Fumes Thicker
Than Usual Haze.

The Lancet. London. says that thers is increasing
muFkiness'' IN the streets.
In stagnant conditions OF weather, as
on a fine sunny day or during a wind
less drizzle of rain, quite haze Of petrol
fumes accumulates. which Is very un-
pleasant to the pedestrian. Such an at
mosphere Is. of course, inimical to
healthy conditions.
Unburned petrol or partly burned oil
is frequently present in notable guam
tity, which Is not favorable to healthy
respiration, and a suspicion has been en-
tertained that the presence Of 80 much
oil in the air disturbs the protective quail
tiles OF paint
Modern traffic has, in fact, introduced
a totally new condition OF things in re-
gard to the state OF the air in the streets,
and it will not be surprising IL in the long
run mischief In more than one direction
comes to be traced to the acrid fumes
which are accompanying the motor
traffic.
We anticipated some-years ago that
the contamination of the streets would
pass from a purely physiological kind to
one Of a chemical nature as we discon-
tinued horse traffic in favor of motor
traffic. That has practically come to
pass. improvements have, how
ever. been made during the past few
years in the engines of the motor car.
and we may hope that soon they may
be. rendered practically fumeless. which
will imply a more economical use Of fuel
in addition to the suppression Of an OBJ
vious nuisance.

The Massachusetts Primaries.

The victory Of Representative hu-
sustus P. Gardner over Col Everett
{. Benton for the Republican nomina-
ton for Governor of Massachusetts at
the primaries Tuesday, maintaining his
record Of successes since he entered
public life, was won in the face OF OBJ
stacles that would have disheartened
MANY a les courageous candidate. Mr..
Gardner entered the race in the
eleventh hour and without an Organl-
zation Of his own. We all know what
this means, and yet he came out a win
ner after only two weeks OF cam
paigning. He was opposed by a rival
who was carly in the field and whose
campaign for the same Office last year,
though not successful, left him with
asarge following and fine organi-
zsfion. ready for this years fray. In
fact. the old State machine was mostly
with Mr.. Benton
Mr.. Gardner's victory in the light
OF these facts is significant of his
strength as the Republican party's can
didatc. His nomination is more than
a personal victory. 1t is a triumph
Tor the New Republicanism," in sup
port Of whose principles Mr.. Gardner
made and won his fight. 1t now re-
mains with Mr.. Gardner. as his mis-
Sion. to impress upon the voters OF

elf Gardper is not the next Governor

only hope of the Democrats Of that
State for victory next November lies
in the presence of a third party in the
field, made up largely of former Re
publicans All is not harmony in the
Democratic ranks there, and the dis
eord may not have disappeared on cleo
ton day. The Progressive party will

GENTLY large vote to defeat the expo,

Col Boyle has been one of the most
prominent citizens of the British Isles
for the last century and of late years
has been very popular in the United
States.
The colonel IS very popular because
so many people are anxious to meet
him. However, he seems to have no par
ticular fascination because when man
has met him his next desire Is to get
away from him When a man has once
met Col Rogie he isn't satisfied until he
has proved 10 the world that he is bet
ter than the colonel is. And from this
time on they are deadly enemies.
The colonel inhabits the golf courses
Of the world and is singularly retiring
in disposition. Many men OF excellent
character and high social standing spend
years trying to meet him and never sue
ceed. Nothing can be sadder than the
sight of an eminent citizen in whis-
kers and khaki pants toiling profaneiy
around a golf course one stroke behind
the colonel and swelling up into purple
balloon with conversation every time he
messes up his approach.
Yet the colonel will be most approach
able to a sixteen-year-old yOungster
with an old discarded driver and a few
second hand balls and will spend all sum
mer in his company. People have strange
tastes and none stranger than this mys-
terious gent.
Col. Bogie can be met any day during
the season by the simple process of drfv-
ing a golf ball around a nine-hole course
in somewhere between 'thirty-nine and
forty-flve strokes When this Is done he
becomes very friendly and can be ap-
preached time after time with very pleas

NOVEL PLEA ON AFFECTIONS.
Counsel for EInsteins Argues Insane
Son Could Have Had None.

From the New York Times.
Supreme Court Justice Amend has re-
served decision on motions to dismiss
Mrs. Manuela Einstein's suits for 500, 900
and $4,000, respectively, against her
father-in-law, Julius Einstein, and her
alienation of the affections of her hus-
band, Arthur L. Einstein, who is con-
fined as an incompetent in DIR. Packers
sanitarium at Riverdale. The motions
were based on the novel legal contention
that an insane person was incapable of
affection, and no cause of action should
lie against third party for the loss of
an incompetents affections.
Attorney James B. Kilburn. who raised
the question, said that young Mrs. Elm
stein had already obtained a separation
from her husband on the ground OF his
insanity, and was well provided for out
of his estate. Joseph H. Corn, attorney
for Mrs. Einstein. asserted that his client
would contend that her husbands mental
condition was partly due to the attempts
with his family affairs. He also said that
even though incompetent, he would still
have been thoroughly in love with his
wife but for their interference.
The argument that an insane person
was incapable of love. Mr.. Corn said. was
contrary alike to legal precedent and hu-
man experience. Previous TO his being
declared incompetent, Arthur L. Einstein
was president Of the Einstein Manufac-
turing Company.
