Pilot of New Workers Has Been Subject of Criticism Since Defeat From
 White Sox

Ever since the recent worlds series. in fact, for sometime before that Johnny McGraw of the New York Giants has criticisms. In fact, many folks have just about arrived at the conclusion that as baseball manager, McGraw is not quite up to the standard set for him by his many admirers in other years. This criticism, particularly with reference to the manner in which he handler the Giants during the recent series, has been so general that it was quite a relief to run into real booster for him the other day.
 The booster was one of the veteran New York fans, one of those men who have seen hundreds of big league games and who has always been a regular patron of the pastime at the pay gate. The McGraw matter was being dis with the statement he considered the Giant pilot the greatest manager in the history of the game. Naturally he was asked for his reasons and he gave them.
 Everybody seems te take it for grant ed McGraw has a cinch at New York" said the fan, but I look at it just the other way. People are all the time talk win pennants because all he has to do is to go out and buy players, while other managers have to develop the young sters. This sounds all right till you start to investigate the matter.

GRAND CANYON ROCKS. "HOBSON'S CHOICE"
 MUDDLED THINKING

In the very bottom of the Grand Can yon lie the dark, inconspicuous rocks, mostly tough crystalline granite gneiss and schist, the oldest in the canyon and among the oldest in the world. They were in part deposited as sands and muds in a sea, in part accumulated as lava flows and in part intruded be- meath the surface as molten rock. All these materials became solidified, and later they were slowly heayed and crumpled into mountains, which were in time worn down by rain, rivers and perhaps the waves of the sea to near

Little Rock, Jan. 11.-Standing on tahle in the center of the House of Renresentatives, with members of House and Senate and several hundred citizens-all that could crowd in the chamber-Gov. Chas. H. Brough We'd nesday afternoon delivered his inau- gural address. In many respects this was the most remarkable address ever delivered by a governor of Arkansas. Its reception was most enthusiastic, and in every paragraph there was a suggestion of constructive legislation.
 Gov. Brough recommended the re- turn to the old form of government for the State charitable institutions, through an honorary board of repre- sentative citizens, a separate board for the Confederate Home, which he does not class as a charitable institu- tion. and a comprehensive financial system which will put the state war rants immediately at par by the issu. ance of bonds to care for the present indebtedness, and then increase reve- nues so as to retire the bonds when they come due.
 Dr. Brough struck happy note when he announced at the outset that he hoped to make Arkansas gover- nor for all the people, and so clear was the logic of the message that throughout the audience gave him the

ations from one fifteenth of one per cent to one tenth of one per cent, is another plank in the Brough message, also the collection of a fee for bond issues by railroads, $1 for each 5000 in bonds, up to $1,000,000, and 50 cts. on each additional thousand. Missouri received S2S1 ,000 on the recent Frisco railroad reorganzation, while Arkan- sas received only $2,031, due to the difference in the tax rate. A tax of 2 1-2 per cent on bulk insurance col lected, and the same per cent on fire insurance, after allowing for rein surance, is another reform advocated.
 To equalize the taxation all around, Dr. Brough would change the basis of grades-so that hill land would re- ceive different valuation from bot tom land, a poor horse would not be in the same class with a Percheron, and common stock listed in the same numbers as blooded.
 Gov. Brough asked the legislature to grant him the privilege of naming an honorary tax commission, of five members, to amke study of tax mat ters for two years and report with recommendation to the next general assembly. He estimated the cost of this at about $7,500, and the value be- yond estimation.

closest of attention. Gov. Brough dis played a knowledge of many things that new hand in the office of the executive is supposed to learn only by experience, demonstrating that he has been quite busy in his investiga- tions since he became the Democratic nominee, and was sure to be the States next governor.
 In many places Dr. Brough evi- denced keen appreciation of the pre- sence of women on state boards, for in most of the commissions he suggest ed, he left the inference that women were acceptable as members. Dr. Brough suggested some twelve or fif- teen commissions to study different phases of the States affairs, and com menting upon his wholesale recom- mendations along this line, stated that the cost would be so small that if any one of the commissions accomplished anything it would more than pay for the cost of all.
 After paying a tribute to the indus trial greatness of Arkansas, and its growing resources, Dr. Brough launch ed into the revenue problem, showing that the State would on July 1 face a deficit of S750,O0O, and that the as-

 Gov. Brough then proposed the S750,000 note issue, with the aboli- tion of the State capitol tax, maintain ing that building out of the general revenue fund, and applying the tax to sinking fund to protect the note issue.
