Iona Journey.

A railroad from Nome to Cape Horn
is being considered, and sometimes
we may be able to take a through
sleeper from one end of the American
continent to the other. In that case
we would sample all kinds of climate
from arctic to tropical and we would
encounter endless variety of surface
and scenery. Popular Mechanics says
that several routes for such rail-
road are being considered, but which
ever one may be chosen the lines al
ready built and covering over half the
distance would be utilized. The fact
that these exist makes the project
seem less like dream, but if we
smile over it we might remember that
men of affairs laughed at Cecil Rhodes
when he suggested a railroad from the
Cape of Good Hope to Cairo-the en-
tire length of Africa-but that road
is now being built-is more than half
done. indeed.

COOLEY IS MADE GOAT
Joe cantlIIon Puts Over Joke on
Ancient Enemy.
Umpire cosxed Boston Player to Tear
Around Bases at Breakneck Speed
After Blu LANCE Had Made
Wonderful Catch.

Dick Cooley, former manager of the
Louisville Cotnnels. has little sympa-
thy for umpire ba1ters, although when
Dick was in the big leagues he had
quite reputation as one of the worst
foes the umpires met on the diamond.
But Dick excused his fault in this
respect on the ground that the UNI
pires of those days were much more
tantalizing than the arbiters of the
present.
No more bitter feud existed In the
big leagues than that between Umpire
Joe Cantillon, now manager of the An
cient Order of Millers, and Dick
Cooley For years they never spoke
civilly to each other. Dick tells the
story Of the final break between Can
tillon and himself.
"Cantillon was a good umpire" said
Dick, but for some reason we were
always at outs. Joe didn't like me and
I had no use for him. However, we
got along passably fair until one day
In Chicago, when Cantillon played the
meanest trick on me that l have ever
known an umpire to be guilty of. l
suppose the laugh is on me, but at any
rate, / never got over it, and Can

PAGERS MAKE MANY RECORDS
Performances of "Side-Wheeiers"
Leaves All Previous Years Forgot
ten-All Worlds Marks.

The season of 1914 goes down In
history as the most wonderful one
ever known so far as extreme speed
of race track PAGERS is concerned. The
way in which the "side-wheelers" have
performed leaves all past years COM
pletely forgotten, and as result the
list Of Worlds Pacing Records" is
worse shot to pieces than the forts
about Liege.
Thirty-three records went by the
board, a truly extraordinary showing.
What is particularly gratifying about
it is the fact that every one OF these
new worlds marks was made in clean
cut, unequivocal fashion. There is
nothing connected with single one OF
them placing it in the questionable
or doubtful class. All have been made
under the full glare of publicity and
hedged about with all the technical re-
uuirements necessary for absolute au-
thenticity.
OF none of them is there the slight
est bubble that the time officially an
nounced was an iota faster than that
really made. Indeed. in some instances
it is known that the horses, according
to outside watches, went even faster
than the time hung out and placed
upon record.
Another pleasing feature lies in the
fact that almost all the record break
ing has been done by free-legged
horses. The number Of the new
champions wearing the hobbies is
small. Frank Bogash, Jr., is the most
conspicuous horse requiring the IN
diana underwear" r. H. Brett is
"hobbler" and so are Billy M. and Doc

race record, as well as the other team,
Franklin Pierce and Buck Muscovite.
But of the stars of the first magnitude,
Directum |, William, Anna Bradford,
Clara Mac, are all free-legged.

Wy MANN 7.
Robert c. Folwell stands out today
as the most remarkable coach in the
history of football. He went to Wash
ington and Jefferson college, where
the enrolment is only $50, and built
up team in 1913 that scored BAT
points, that won nine out of ten games
and held the great Yale eleven to a
scoreless tie in the tenth game. This
year he is back with even a more
wonderful team.
His 1914 team has ripped the hide
off Of the Yale eleven, the same Yale
team that was heralded far and wide
as the best Yale team in ten years.
Not only that, but w. and ]. tackled
Harvard just a week before in Har-
wards own football lot and played Har-
ward practically to a standstill.
Hurry Up Yost of Michigan, Percy
Haughton of Harvard, Alonzo Stage of
Chicago, Frank Hinkey of Yale, and
Glen Warner Of Carlisle are great
coaches. They have accomplished
wonderful things in their careers. But
the accomplishments of each pale in
to insignificance in comparison with
what Folwell, a former University of
Pennsylvania player, has done.
Why shouldn't Yost, Stage, Haugh-
ton and the others get together great
football elevens? They have stu
dent enrolment of from 1000 to 5000
to draw from each year. When they

from 200 and 500 men who have had
considerable football experience at
prep and high schools answer the call.
And they have a dozen former foot
ball stars to assist them in their coach
ing work.
And Folwell? How different is his
situation. w. and j., although one
of the Oldest colleges west of the AL
leghanies, is one of the smallest. Its
student enrolment this year is about
three hundred and forty. Last year
it was about three hundred and TWEEN
ty. Folwell last year and this year
had to make his selection from among
men who would not be given a second
thought by the coaches of other elev-
ems. He had to make his selection
from little men, from the kind of men
that Yale, Harvard and Michigan
would not have considered at all be-
cause Of their lightness and their
smallness.
Yet Folwell, handicapped by the
lack of bulk and Drawn, did not become
discouraged. His men had brains,
they had courage and they were game
to the core. No obstacle frightened
them. And so Folwell picked out
about twenty-five of the most likely
looking candidates, welded them into
a machine that, when all things are
considered, is the most wonderful foot.

The wOrkmen's Compensation Referendum.

The Workmens Compensation Referendum.
whether the workmen's compensation law
enacted by the last Nebraska legislature is to be
put in force or remain imperative will be deter
mined BY the voters at the coming election.
There are several provisions in this act,
which, We frankly confess, are not what they
would be II we had written them, but yet the
underlying principle Of compensation in place Of
litigation for Industrial accidents Is so sound
and in accord with the progressive thought Of
the time, that we believe II far better that the
voters approve the law, and thus put It into eff
feet, relying on the legislature later to remedy
CT perfect such features as experience may show
need improvement.
This conclusion IS supported by another
reason, which should be generally understood
II is notorious that the referendum on this act
was inspired and financed by certain so-called
personsl-injury lawyers. who see In II an inter
ference with their business Of suing employers
for damages on a so per cent. contingent fee
basis. These lawyers rightly figured that the
money they would spend TO procure the neces-
sary signatures TO the referendum petition
would be more than made up TO them out of
their shares Of damage verdicts obtained during
the year and a half the law would be held In
allegiance even II It were finally adopted.
On this theory. IL the present law is voted
down, the same agencies would find II profitable
to take referendum upon any future law that
may be enacted as a substitute, and to repeat
the performance 80 that Nebraska could never
adopt the compensation principle without an
affirmative vote on referendum. What the peo-
pie Of Nebraska are TO vote on, therefore, is not
this particular compensation law as against a
better one, but this compensation law as against
no compensation Law at all. On that issue we
are for approving the law.
