The progressive state committee of
Maryland has endorsed Hughes. In
1912 the combined republican and
progressive vote in Maryland was
bigger than Wilson'S. Figure it out.

Democrats who think that Wilson
may get the electoral vote Of Maine
next month in spite of the loss of the
state by his party last month are
another triumph Of
love over experience. Wilson, we
are solemnly assured, is stronger than
his party, yet in Maine four years ago
he got 10000 less votes than the dem
ocratic candidate for governor did.

Wilson, according to his running
mate, made path where there was
no trail. But wandering around in
the underbrush is not to the taste of
the nation, which will be found trav-
cling along the broad highway where
Hughes is leading the procession.

The widening odds among the bet
ting fraternity show the cold-blooded
application of the results of the
Maine election. Bettors have no SEN
timent. They frame their odds on
conditions as they are-and the odds
on Hughes which have always prevail
ed. though at time as low as six TO
five, are now quoted at two to one,
with no Wilson money in sight.

The falsely-labeled eight hour a

to investigate whether congress did
right or had the right to vote an in
crease of wages to a favored few
among the railroad employees of the
country. The time in which to make
the investigation was none too long,
anyway. as the next session of con-
gress is expected to receive and act
upon the findings Of the board. That
session will assembly in December,
leaving only three full months for the
whole job from the time the bill was
passed and received its first signature
Yet the president took a month Of
that time to pick his board. Haste
was the order of the day when the
railroad brotherhoods stood with
pistol at the head of congress-but
there was time to burn afterwards.

UPSET
 AT POOR SHOWING IN TUFTS CONTEST

Princeton, N. J., Oct. 16.-Although the Princeton eleven was able to gain a 3-to-O victory in the contest with Tufts Saturday. there is little satisfac- ton in the Tiger football camp. Head Coach Speedy Rush was disappointed with the showing, and he did not mince words in telling them so. The tendency toward frequent fumbling and the inability of the Tigers to play hard football when a few yards meant a touchdown are the reasons for the dissatisfa ction.
 Rush has not allowed day to pass since the first practice at Camp Mine waska that he has not given the play CTS a great deal of practice in hand ling the ball. Yet fumbles were alarm ingly copious and ruined whatever chances the Tigers had of crossing Tufts goal line. That the visitors had an unusually strong team is not de- nied here, but the general feeling is that Princeton should have made at least two touchdowns.
 Brow. s tumble in the first few min utes of play after Princeton had rush. ed the ball down the field thirty yards to within eight yards of the Tufts goal line seemed to have it's psychological effect on the players. They fumbled consistently after that on inopportune ,occasions.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

190S-Kid Mccoy and Jim Stewart boxed six/rounds in New York. Mccoy, former welterweight and middle weight champion and the hero of sev- eral great bouts with the heavies, had been out of the game four years. He pulled off his "come-back" on the eve of his 18th birthday. Stewart, a big fellow with championship aspira- tions, thought he had picked an easy mark in the veteran Hoosier but he was soon undeceived. In the first round Mccoy displayed the crafty ring generalship for which he had been famous in his younger days. He start ed by rushing Stewart, and then stop ped, puffing and blowing. Stewart thought the old fellow was really dinded and worn out, and stepped in to finish it. That was just what Mc- Coy was playing for. He shot out his right to Jim's jaw, and Stewart sank to the mat. He took the count of nine before he staggered up. Mccoy afterward admitted that the first round took all the strength out of him, but that one terrible punch had so shaken Stewards nerve and in creased his confidence for the old timer that Mccoy was able to bluff his way through the remaining E rounds and finish with credit to him. self

Johnny Kilbane Seeks To Take lightweight
 Grown From Welsh

New York, Oct. 16-Talking about ambitions reminds us that Johnny Kilbane. the king of the feather weights, has one, too. It is to box Freddie Welsh for the lightweight title and the Clevelander has his man. ager mapping out a campaign to force the Briton to box him. Generally when a fighter attains the champions goal he is satisfied with himself. There is usually nothing more to fight for. Freddie Welsh felt the effect of becoming champion. He never yearned to fight for the welterweight title. He was perfectly satisfied with what he had done and his later fighting was just a trick of going through the notions He just went himself so much as when he was reaching for premier honors.
 With Kilbane it is different. Johnny is much taken up with his own abil- ity. He knows he is good fighter and doesn't think there is a man in the world within 12 or IS pounds of his weight whom he cannot beat. That's why he is after Welsh. He wants to become the lightweight champion and is willing to do any thing tha twill earn him his way to the position.
 Great as will the bout between Dill Ion and Gibbons be, there is n bne which would rank as an attraction be- tween Kilbane and Welsh. Every body regards it as an even match and whoever does get the Garden for the holding of boxing matches would do we'll to get right after the manager of Welsh and Pollok and spend real money if necessary to arrange the contest

ROSEBEN'S GREAT RACE.

Many turf followers will recall with interest that today marks the tenth anniversary of the great race when Roseben made a new worlds record of 1:22 for seven furlOngs. Willie Shaw was astride the gigantic gelding on that memorable occasion. The Big Train carried 12S pounds, and there was only one other starter in the race
 Roseben shot away from the post like cannonball and never faltered a sec ond until the wire was reached. When the timekeeper certified 1:22 as the time for the seven furlonee a vail of woe went up from the bookies. It had been conceded that the big gelding would win, but a lot of wise ones in duced the bookmakers to put up money against the proposition that Roseben would beat the track record of 1:25 for the Belmont course, seven fur longs, around one turn. While it. was

Cornell Expects to Have Smashing Eleven
 For Present Season

The Cornell undergraduates look forward to the coming season with world of confidence. Dr. Sharpe's Big Red Team is expected to mow down all opposition, as it did last year, and the students already are figuring the size of the score in the Penn game on Thanksgiving Day.
 ''The Cornell Alumni News" voices the confidence of the college, and says is an editorial:
 All the comment on Corne1Ps foot ball prospects this fall has dealt with the loss of several stars" of last years team-Barrett, Cool, Shelton, Collins and Jameson. But a visitor to the practice on the upper field these crisp October afternoons finds nobody mourning for the departed. It is evil dent that, whatever those players took away, they did not take away the fighting spirit which characterized Cornell football in 1915.
 And there is left, too, the evidence of football lessons learned and made into tradition. In other words, the 1916-squad is building on last years accomplishments and not on new ground. The squad has good material and the best of coaching, and it has inherited traditions of hard work and success. These elements ought to produce a team, and all the indica- tions are that real team is in pro- cess of production.
 ''The postponement of the univer- sity's opening day deranged the foot ball plans. Practice was to have be- gun on September IS. It was put off a week. The Oberlin game, scheduled for Sept. 30, was cancelled, and the second game on the schedule, the one with Gettysburg, was postponed from Saturday to Monday.
 Between 50 and 60 men reported for the. first day of practice A few have come since then and a few have dropped out. There is still an active squad of about 50 men. The coaches are not crying for more, so they must be satisfied with the number and qual- ity of what they have to work with. In physical qualities the whole squad is remarkably uniform. It is what one would call husky bunch of men. If one misses the men lost with the class of 916 one Is cheered by observ- ing that the class of 1919 produced some excellent players"

 Jimmy appoints himself manager of this tottering shoe factory. engages a number of new clerks, puts new sales men on the road, gets new fixtures for thes office/ new machines for the factory and makes it appear as If the factory was doing a very large busi- ness in this as well as in a foreign country. But, all this Jimmy does with a happy go-lucky optimistic. manner that not only wins him the respect Of every one, but at the same time builds up the shoe factory to the expectation of old Mr. Trellevan, and likewise leads to that one goal we are all try ing to reach, and which Jimmy does, the goal of success.

GRIP AND NEURASTHENIA

There is form of neurasthenia that
follows the grip. Doctors call it post
grippal'' neurasthenia. One of the
foremost medical authorities of New
York city in lecture in the interna-
tional clinics, said:
Broadly speaking, every victim OF
the grip will suffer from pOst-grippal
neurasthenia also. Lowering OF ner-
vous tone with increased irritability is
the most striking effect of the disease,
languor of mind and body, disturb bed,
ftful sleep and vague pains III the head
and elsewhere. The treatment calls
for rest and tonic
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, non-alco~
holic tonic, are particularly suited for
building up the blood and strengthen
ing the nerves after an attack OF the
grip. The rich, red blood expels the
lingering germs from the system and
transforms respondent grip victims in
to cheerful, healthy, happy men and
women.
