HERE'S A CHANCE

II You Can Give the Best Defini-
, ton of What Is a Politician.
Z the Money Is Won.

: One upon time a young woman in

word pharisee. She protested that she
didn't know the word and demanded
that il be defined before she undertook
. 10 spell 1t.
What is a pharisee?" She insisted.
: Dent recognize a pharisee?' queried
the boss pronouncer in amazement
: "Well-" and h, swept a glance over
the aSsemblage of the entire neighbor

Comes now wv. h. c." an esteem
, cd correspondent of The Times, with
the inquiry, which he addresses to this
community of 'em:
What is a poiitician?"
He has been coming the new Stand
afd Dictionary and finds that politician
Is there defined as. among other things.
"a spokesman, q schemer, a statesman"
Nv. X. c." thinks the currently ac-
cepted idea of politician, schemer ard
statesman makes 1t quite impossible I"
Use those three words as synonyms.
He wants new and more accurate
definition. and offers a prize of SIS in
gold for the best answer.
There Is, Of course, one standard defi-
milton of a statesman as "a politician
out of a job" AS one must needs be
q politician to get the job, 1t would
seem logically to follow that no states
men are engaged actively in statecraft
Will the various classifcations of gen.
tlemer who hold public commissions
and draw public salaries concede that?
Is 1t inconsistent with the character
OF a statesman to be a schemer? That
seems to be the problem confronting
''W. K. c." Certainly he has opened
a field for some honest discussion.
. The letter from ''W. K c." making
his prize offer indicates the seriousness
with which he projects his inquiry.
Statesmen, politicians, schemers, pro-
I. fessional and amateur photographers,
may send their definitions to the Editor
of The Times, who will decide the issue,

nickeled-steel overcoat until the trouble
blows over.

HE LIKES The FISH.
Clarence Lodge Writes From New
Home at Galveston.

Clarence Lodge, former editoria
writer on the State Journal, now
Santa Fe publicity man for Texas
writes Interestingly from Galveston
his new home, to a friend here. Mr..
Lodge finds much to like and dislike
at the gulf seaport city. The Santa
Fe folks down there treat the eX-
newspaper man royalty and have done
everything possible to make him like
his new work. But Mr.. Lodge was
long in the old game and made many
warm friends in Topeka. Yet there is
one thing in Galveston that warns the
cookies of his heart. Fish! He writes
like one of Foquets epicureans about
the product of the labors of the gulf
fishermen. In one paragraph of his
letter Mr.. Lodge says:
IF you like good fish to eat, you
must make it this way for a vacation.
A baked red-snapper is an epicurean
delight. A fried founder makes you
wish your capacity was larger. A
smelt salad is in a class of its own.
An oyster loaf touches spot that has
never been hit before. But when you
tackle a broiled Spanish mackerel,
fresh from the gulf, you have hard
work realizing that anything could be
so good. Then there is a crab gumbo
that makes your innards smile, and
many other delicacies from the sea
that beggar description such as fish
threats, for instance. They slice the
threats out of red-snappers and other
fish and broil dozen of them for a
mess and, believe me, they are some
eating"

omaha-Chicago Freight Rates.

WaShingtOn, April ZZ--In The case
of the Chicago board of trade against
the Illinois Central railroad attacking
freight rates on grain from Omaha to
Chicago as compared with those from
Omaha to New Orleans, the interstate
commerce commission held today that
the restoration of former rates from
Omahato New Orleans had removed
any possible discrimination and the
existing rates from Omaha to Chicago
had not been shown to be unreasonable.
The commission declined to determine
on the record in this case, whether
there was a proper relationship be-
tween the present Omaha-New Or
leans grain rates and the Omaha Chi
cagO rates.

DELAY IN PAVING
IS ONLY TEMPORARY
One Shipment of Utah Rock Asphalt
Found Not Up to
Standard.

Owing to the falling off in the
amount Of pure asphalt in the Utah
rock asphalt material being used in the
paving Of State street from Ninth to
Tenth South streets, the city engineer
was forced yesterday to order the lay
ing of the pavement stopped until
enough asphalt could be added to make
up the deficiency.
The delay was only temporary, how
ever. The bitulithic material WAS
added to the rock asphalt in quantities
sufficient to make up the lack, and the
paving was resumed within several
hours.
Speaking of the trouble yesterday,
the engineer said that apparently in
mining the rock asphalt the mining
company had struck vein in which
the pure material was not so rich.
1t is believed the usual standard will
prevail in future shipments, tho COM
pany operating the deposits having
been notified of the defect in the ma
terial.
The city engineer was informed yes
terday that George A. Heman will be-
gin the paving of Second South street,
east of Twelfth East street, next Mon
day morning,
