LAPS AND LAPS.
The girl got on the midnight car
And firmly grasped a strap;
And every time they hit a curve
She sat in a different lap.
The hills grew steep, the curves got
worse.
And she asked with a CHASTITY smile:
will somebody kindly tell me, please,
How many laps to the mile?''

Manager baltimore is anxious to
have his outfield filled with hard hit
tiers and fielders who are not fence
shy, and he believes he has the men
to fill the bill.
A Wichita paper reports that RED
Shirt" Jimmy Jackson smiled all over
himself when Zeke Tallion sent in his
signed contract. Yet, last season Jack
son thought as little of Tallion as of
any man on his team.
John Savage believes that in Out
fielder Hanson he has the best West
ern league find of the year Hanson,
he says, can hit the ball hard enough
to flatten it into a disc any day in
the week.
baltimore is strong for Mundy and
says that he ought to be somewhat of
a find himself if he plays up to form.
Mundy is not only a good swatter, but
is a classy performer around the first
sack, LATHE says.
Two players whom Savage and Lat
timore have been discussing since Lat
ties arrival are Cochran and Rapps.
Although Cochran has not yet signed
a contract. the impression of both is
that he will come in when reporting
time arrives. Rappss release papers
have not yet been sent to him and he
may be brought on.
If Jess Willard should happen to
knock out Moran in their fight Satur-
day night, or should outclass him so
far to get a unanimous decision, as
he most likely will, a great many of
his critics will have to take water at
one end of the boat or the other. They
will either have to admit that he is a
real fighter, or admit that their opin-
ion of Moran was exaggerated.
Willard has been called a frosty
imitation by some who are pretty gen
orally known in ring circles. His
method of training has been criticised
and he has been a target for almost
every almost was haS-been'' who has
been given a chance to get his name
in print.

HOLLAND AN THE SEA
Relentless War That Is Being Waged
Between Man And the Sea
Chicago Journall

NOhASotoO cOhA AhAJ
The North Sea has made a sudden
and, for the moment, successful at
tack on the outer defenses of Holland.
Water pouring through the broken
dikes has reached the suburbs of Am
sterdam, and large areas of the north
ern provinces are flooded. Whether
the invasion will be checked here or
go farther cannot now be told; but 1t
is as certain as fate that, in the end,
the ocean will lose back every yard
of ground 1t has gained.
In the thousand years war between
man and ocean at the mouths of the
Rhine, neither side ever sleeps, re-
lents, gives or grants truce; but the
patient industry and growing science
of the Hollander have outmatched
the blind might and fury of the sea-
An American scholar, John William
son Palmer, has stated the case with
a vivid brevity which only poetry
can attain:
Said the Sea to the Dutchman: "Hol
Make way!
For the march of the food is mine
Shall the bar of thine arms my cours-
ers stay,
In the charge OF my whelmlng
brine?"
To the Sea said the Dutchman: NAY,
stand back!
bide for the dole and fee,
TO the hands that serve, and the loins
that lack,
And hail to the strong and free.
In the might of the Lord OF the Deep
| stand, and
set His bounds to thee!"
And so 1t has been
"A bound in the dixie, and mete in
the dune,
And stay in the stout sea wall ----'
little by little the Dutchman has won
his land from the ocean; and what
he wins he keeps. If the sea retakes
It for time he goes to work and wins
it back again. He speaks of land lost
seven centuries ago as merely in the
temporary possession of the hered
tary enemy, to be reclaimed when the
time comes; and no one doubts thai
he will make good his boast. He Ii
not an eager warrior, this slow-mov
ing, neveT-resting man of the lowlands;
but he has a tenacity which makes any
ordinary soldering seem an evan
escent, fieeting thing.

SITS over court
AT TWENTY
Probate Judge Of Tribunal He
First Saw as Orphan.
WAS SENT TO INSTITUTION.

Fred M. 5reen of Michigan, Believed to
Be Youngest Probate Judge In United
States, Received 25 Cents a Day For
First Job--Worked Diligently and
Gives Recipe For Success. ~
Cadillac, Mich.-Sixteen years ago
Wexford county's probate judge dis
posed of Fred NJ. Breen, ten-year-old
boy, whose greatest misfortune had
been the death of his parents, leaving
him without home or funds.
The same youth, now young man,
recently took the oath Of office as judge
Of the same court that just few years
ago sent him to state institution, he
being the youngest probate judge in
the United States, 1t is believed.
A year following his disposition by
the court he returned to Cadillac, a
man there desiring to give him home
and chance.
He worked in factories, studying
nights, desiring to show his appr,cia-
ton to the man who had picked him
up. His wages were small-but 25
cents a day-and the work of carrying
water to several hundred mill hands
was not as pleasant as might be.
By doing chores for anybody who
would hire him, he completed the pub.
lie school course, graduating as class
valedictorian.
Not being satisfied with high school
education, he took course at bust
ness college at Big Rapids. Securing a
position as stenographer In lawyers
Office, he began to study law in his
spare time, finally passing the exam
inatiOn for admission to the bar, with
papers 80 good he was excused from
the oral examination. He was elected
circuit court commissioner and ap-
pointed United States commissioner.
Mr.. Breen handled his own campaign.
He did not berate his opponents. one
being another attorney and one the
sheriff.
Walking through the county, he
talked with every rural voter. At times
he ate but two meals a day. and some
times he slept In barns.
For three months he campalgned
and when the primary vote was count
ed he had 100 votes more than his
nearest opponent and was elected by
a comfortable majority.
Judge Breen's recipe for success such
as his has been is simple one: Mind
your own business, let people talk, hear
when you listen, see when you look
and stick to a thing until you get
there"

GEORGIA FIGHTS TO
TO PROTECT OWN RAILROAD

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 31-The first
hearing in the court fight which the
state of Georgia has begun to pre-
vent the Louisville & Nashville rail
road from building a line parallel to
the state-owned Western e Atlantic,
is set for today, when the temporary
injunctions recently issued by Judge
Fite, restraining certain newspapers
from publishing the legal advertise
ments of the Louisville & Nashville
will be returnable. The hearing is
being held at Cartersville, Ca, Judge
Fite receiving the arguments of the
state and the railroad on the question
of making the injunctions permanent.
The state-owned railroad is now
leased to the Nashville, Chattanooga
& st. Louis r. r. The petition of the
state alleges that the proposed rail-
road extension is fraudulent. illegal
and contrary to the law and fixed pol
icy of the state, as regards the par
alleling of the Western e. Atlantic.
1t is charged that the Louisville &
Nashville Is engineering the scheme
with the sole purpose of paralleling
the state-owned road and thereby TAX
ing away the business of the line
or beating down the rental price un-
der new lease.
The attorneys for the railroad
claim they are prepared to fight the
states contentious, and they make
the claim that the state officials are
embarking on scheme to create a
monopoly and to suppress competi-
tion in the face of the states own
laws and constitution.
1t is expected that the issue will GO
to the higher courts, and possibly to
the United States supreme court,

isn't 1t funny to witness the ground
and lofty tumbling and aerial evolutions
OF the Willis organ of Knox county,
whose editor Is thus earning his APP
pointment to measly little job at
-the hands of the good young COVER
nor" trying to make the old soldiers
of Knox county believe that great
boon has been conferred upon them
and that they have been highly rec
. ognized by the appointment of Col.
Leroy G. Hunt TO a tenth-rate job
at the Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Or.
phans home at Xenia? It ls hardly
probable that If the question were put
squarely up to Col Hunt that he
would state that his appointment was
a recognition of the soldiers OF Knox
county by Gov. Willis. The claim by
the local Willis personal organ is so
ridiculous as to be pathetic. The old
soldiers have not yet come forward
with acclaims ard relolcings over the
loudly-proclaimed announcement of
their recognition by the aforesaid
local Willis personal mouthplece. In
most instances the old soldiers have
been voting the Republican ticket
with regularity for over fifty years
and surely their loyalty to that party
is worthy of greater recognition than
"A dinky place I'm minor state insti-
tuition. It Is all right for Col, Hunt
to receive the appointment and every
body hereabouts liz glad he got II
But 10 get up on the house-top and
shout through megaphone that the
little Job was given 20 Col. Hunt as
recognition of the soldiers is farci
cal, or perhaps tragical, the latter u
the stage has been reached that dry
bone may be tossed to the old sol
diers with an accompanying state
ment, IN effect, that II is the exten
OF the recognition TO which they are
entitled for their many years OF loya
support OF the Republican party i
that is the best the willis adminstra
tion can do for the old soldiers o
Knox county. It would be the thing t'
do to keep quiet about Il, instead o.
attempting TO deceive the old soldiers
by making them believe that they
have been recognized. The old sol
diers are not that guliible even II the
local Willis personal organ thinks so

Having successfully censored the
state board of censors in not permit
ting a certain picture play to be pre-
sented in Ohio that he might curry
favor with the colored voters, Gov.
Willis has now turned his attention
rtowAh considering the newspapers Of
Ohio, and is aiming to keep out of
them some truths regarding his weak,
wabbly and inefficient administration.
During all the years he has been
bowling around In politics, Mr.. Willis
has never found any fault with pub
lications in Republican papers re-
garding Democratic candidates or
Democratic officials. During the cam
paign two years ago, Mr.. Willis pro-
mulgated many false statements from
the stump regarding the Democratic
administration. Evidently IL was all
right, according to his code OF ethics
at that time, to utter such statements
and it was all right for them TO be
published in the newspapers. But
now that he is governor, 1t is all
wrong to criticise his administration
and tell the truth about its woeful in
efficiency in many departments and
of the greatly increased cost of ad-
ministration and consequent increase
of taxes. The whining and complain
ing attitude OF Gov. Willis in object
ing to the facts being given the pub
lie through newspapers, is spec
tacle never before Witnessed by
the people OF Ohio It is the truth
that is published regarding the state
administration that hurts and makes
: Gov. Willis vince. Such publica-
tions will, of course, go on and no
attention will be paid to the cry-baby
winnings of Gov. Willis. He is re-
sponsible for the condition of the
states affairs and the public is en-
titled to, and will receive, the truth
regarding them. No muzzlng or cen
soring of the press goes, Mr.. Willis.
