There's nothing else TO say.
Those who picked the White Sox
to beat Cincinnati last fall can sympa-
thize with Iris Speaker, who is dis
turbed by the experts picking the
Indians for the 1920 pcnnant.
The coming OF the spring racing
season makes one wonder II the
bookies can be beaten by using the
auija board.
Nowadays, the employer, riding
home on his bicycle, is often passed
by one or two Of his mechanics, lean
ing back in their limousines.
Why all this excitement about the
selection OF president? Now We are
in the throes Of the pre-convention
frenzy. Candidates Of the political
parties, are 6ashing about the coun.
try at great expense, seeking votes
in the national conventions.
For what purpose? Simply to win
the honor Of being the nominee OF
some party. Then the trouble really
begins. The unsuccessful candidates
retire gracefully, happy in the thought
that they'll get some kind of job
in case their party leader is sue
cessful
The nominees go forth and seek to
arouse the country to fever heat by
speeches containing reference to the
American Eagle. the Star Spangled
Banner, the perils of radicalism and
other topics. They get everybody
worked up-and for what purpose?
To get elected president Of these
United States.
Why can't the politicians take a
leaf from the book of Ban Johnson
president of the American League
and follow the example set by John
Heydler. president of the National
League?
These two gentlemen were given
the job of selecting a chief execu
tive for the national baseball com.
mission. They avoid rancor and Ill
feeling and refrain from stirring UP
discord by the simple plan of neg
lectlng 20 select anybody. The ma
tional pastime seems to be getting
along without any head for the ne
tional commission and there is q
pleasant dearth Of the uproar tina,
disturbed the fans most of last winter

Babe Adams, when he won the ope-
ming game for the Pirates yesterday
against st. Louis in 10 innings, made
that old saying they don't come back"
look very sick. Babe" came back
good and strong. There is some In
teresting history to the wonderful
Pittsburgh twirlcr. During the sea-
son OF 1909. when Pittsburgh won a
worlds championship from Detroit,
Adams was Pittsburgh "dark horse"
Fred Clarke thought much of him and
of his work during the playing sea
son. When the opening battle of the
October baseball classic arrived Fred
surprised fandom by calling on Adams
10 do slab duty. He got away with
1t fine. During that series he earned
for himself place in ba<5all's hall
OF fame by winning three CT the four
games needed by the Pirates to win
the championship. However, the mex:
few years were rocky ones for the
Mt. Moriah hero. and under the reign
of Callahan as Pirate boss he drew
his unconditional release, after being
passed up by all ON the waiver route
Babe did not lose heart. He kept
himself in condition and finally work
cd back into the Pirate camp under
he stood high among the twirlers in
the National leagae. Writers who
followed the Pirates in their training
season were nnanimus in declaring
Adams was The most advanced of all
the Gibson beavers at the end of tins
training period, and their opinion was
confirmed by the Pirate boss when
he selected Adams for work yester-
day. Babe" is as popular ball play
or as ever entered the big leagues.
His quiet earnest efforts and his
gentlem2nly conduct on and off the
field have made him an idol Of fan
dom. and nothing would BIO more pleas
ing to Pittsburgh fans than to see
him have successful season.
The start Of Ruth in the first league
game in Yankee uniform was not
entirely according 10 expectation. How
over he should get in the headlines.
He lost the first game of the season
single-handed for the Yankees. What
more do you want for $4,000 per
year?
Montana, under the leadership OF
F. ]. Kirk. will have fast baseball
team this season During the last
few years this team has made good
record or the diamond. They will
play mostl, Sunday games.
II tho sunshine holds out until az
tornoon the Fairmont high school
track and baseball men will get n
good workout this afternoon. The
men are in need of an extended prac-
tee period.

Chased Coyote With Car
And Killed It With Crank

Grand Island, Neb., Jan. "a
Especial IA coyote which put its
famed speed to the test against a
four cylinder car driven by Art
Nielsen came to an untimely end in
the sand bills near Danneborg. Mr..
Nielsen was driving to Grand Isl
and when the coyote trotted out
from behind a fence post, took a
position in the path of the car and
tried to beat it to the next mile post.
Art stepped on 'er hard. While Mr..
Coyote possibly was laughing to
himself over what he expected the
driver was saying in the way of ex-
cuses for his car something hit him
slam and sent him whirling into
the sand bank at the side of the
highway. 1t was a front wheel of
the car that did the humping. Art
stopped the car and threw a wrench
at the animal. This shot missed the
target. Then Art tried the crank
and did better Art is planning to

ments-State Library
Gets Room.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. '24.-(Spe-
cial.)-Under the specifications
which have been approved by the
capitol commission, 50 per cent more
floor space for departmental use
viii be provided in the new capitol
OF Nebraska than is contained in
the old building. Each department
has been given the full amount of
space it has asked for, and in the
case of the state library provision
will be made for even more room
than was requested.
MembersAof the commission were
of the opinion that the library should
be taken care OF on a basis to
accommodate its needs and growth
for 100 years. The library has
been badly cramped in its present
location and survey of its needs
convinced the planners of the new
building that large section of the
new structure should be devoted to
library use.
Two court rooms are to be pro-
vided for the use of the supreme
court with consultation rooms and
other facilities adjacent to each.
There will be 10 individual rooms
for the judges and commissioners.
The legislature is left with the
same amount of floor space as at
present for its two branches to
meet in, but II committee rooms
will be allowed for the house and
nine for the senate while three
rooms will be given to the legislative
reference bureau.
The details of construction which
the commission is agreed on have
been turned over to Advisory Ar
chitect Kimball to be included in
the specifications on which the 10
competing architects will base their
plans.

BODY ANSWERS
WILSON ATTACK
Show Increase in Number Of
Cases Decided Since
Former Member Left
Commission.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 24.-(Spe-
cial.)-The State Railroad commits
sion Saturday held a hearing on
former Commissioner Vic Wilson's
motion recently filed, asking that
the board adopt set of rules for
speedy hearing and determination
Of matters presented to it. Mr..
Wilson was present to urge action
along this line.
Members of the commission may
not deny the charges made by Mr..
Wilson that the present board is
behind in its work, but the commits
sioners do not know how they are
going to better things. Wilson's
proposed remedy-to hire more ex-
pert help-is not practicable. the
present members say, because the
commission is already running be-
hind on the appropriation which the
legislature made for its use in that
regard
At Saturdays hearing, Commits
sioner Thorne Browne produced
figures which showed that since the
latter left the commission October
|, it has been deciding cases at
the rates Of 2.6 per week, as against
only l.3 cases per week for the
period of two years and nine
months during which he was a
member. He also showed that since
Wilson resigned there have been
50 hearings in IS weeks. or almost
four hearings per week.
Mr.. Wilson admitted that there
had been an improvement recently,
but it has not been enough, he de-
ciared, to keep the commission from
falling farther and farther behind
in its work. He suggested that more
employees be secured, and that part
Of the work of preparing tentative
findings and orders, to be relieved
and adopted by the commission as
its own opinions. be done by them.
II was brought out that since
u. G. Powell resigned as chief ac-
countant another man, Mr.. Ross,
has been doing a portion of the
rate experts work and drawing
$l75 per month salary. As Powell
got $3.50 month, the balance re.
yerts back to the state treasury.
Mr.. Wilson now represents =
number of public utility corpora
tons seeking rate increase and he
is anxious to have their applica-
tions heard and passed upon as soon
as possible. He claims the com.
panies are losing money as things
now stand, and it is much to be de-
sired that the commission shall
speed up its machinery so as to
give them relief.
