The trotting championship of the
world will be decided at North Ran
dali track, Cleveland, the week of
August 8.
The stake-largest of the year for
the Grand Circuit-will be SIS, 200.
Twenty-six candidates originally
trained for the big stage event.
The list has been cut from IL to
Ia starters now.
Of them, j. L. Dodge's Periscope,
rules a to l favorite.
She looms as one of the greatest
mares of trotting history.
Her real speed hasn't been test
ed.
The mare won her races at the
first Grand Circuit meeting in Clevc-
land and at Toledo with ease. Her
time was around 2:03.
After losing the first heat at Clere-
land, due to a break after having
it won, she came back and won the
other heats and the race, finishing in
a jog.
At Toledo Periscope won in
straight heats.
Although she has shown all the
earmarks of a champion, there are
still some great horses for her to
out-trot.
Periscope is a five-year-old.
Ben White owned her along with
Brusiloff and Princess Etawah three
years ago. he figured Periscope
was the poorest of the lot and sold
her to Dodge.
Now she has turned out to be the
best-possibly world champion.

dali event is expected to be Media,
driven by Harry Flemming.
Media has wintered around New
York and has raced little before the
timers watch this year.
A year ago the great Peter
Manning, who is barred from the
$4,000 race, had to clip the mile
in 2:03 to beat her.
Media has a two-minute speed and
with Flemming, one of the best of
drivers, behind her may upset the
dope on Periscope.
Walter Cox has entered three
great horses. They are E. Colo
RADIO, Greyworthy and McGregor the
Great. Two years ago McGregor
the Great was practically unbeat-
able. He hasn't been started this
year. E. Colorado has already won
two Grand Circuit stakes. Grey
worthy is good horse, but is some
times bad hammered.
Two other horses that may cause
Periscope trouble are Ante Guy and
Charley Rex of Tommy Murphy 5
stable. Both are known quantities
in the trot and Murphy is always a
favorite driver.
Other good horses scheduled 10

new line is proposed to be run objec,
strenuously to the new track, and in
sist that the company shall fulfill its
obligations as already assumed.
The company does it, but in this
fashion. Once a day forlorn old car
with flat wheels and rickety gear, runs
from the car barns out to the end OF
the line, and then turns around and at
its convenience runs back. This ar
rangement yields no revenue, for not
once a week, probably, does the con-
ductor ring up fare.
No one thinks of riding upon that
line unless by some rare chance he
happens to overtake the car going in
his own direction at a time when he
desires rest and is not pressed for
time. The car is operated as a fran
chise holder" and nothing else.
I am not sufficiently informed con-
corning the merits of this particular
controversy to express any Judgment
between the street car company and
the city.
But of this / am assured, the fran
chise holding theory. of street car
operation will not answer permanently.

service in return is not confined to
street car companies.
More and more good business as

Every day~in the year it becomes

THE BETTER TIMES.

When folks speak of good old
times their minds run back to the
decade between 1890 and 1900. They
were the last years of the old America
In those years no one was especially
worried about social and economic
problems.
Life ran in a fairly smooth groove.
Eggs sold for about IL cents a dozen
and butter for quarter a pound. Mil
lionaires We're few. 1t seemed easier
to get along than now.
But II the increase Of $50 per cent
In the number Of high schools In the
United States since 1890 means any,
thing, 1t means that we are better off
than that generation.
The tremendous increase of high
schools must be interpreted as indicat-
ing a wider distribution OF prosperity
and consequent desire on the part Of
parents to make the lives of their chil-
dren richer than theirs were.
In the last generation the high
school was largely the well-to-do fam
'ily's luxury. Today it is the prepare
tory school Of the workers child and
for his benefit the modern city high
school has become a vocational train
ing center.
In those days a workman could not
afford high school for his children. To-
day a working man cannot afford not
to send his children to high school.
Then many men liked to say that
what was good enough for them. was
good enough for their children. Today

written in antelope language, or Loop

equally difficult, neither Nancy or

BIG FOUR ON ALL FoURs.

Has a book agent hooked you into
buying any of the 1901 histories OF
what Really Happened at the Peace
Conference?"
If so, you proba bly, have the notion
GRANTED that you read the books that
the peace conference had all the SOL
emnity Of high school graduation sex
ercises." y
But the Big Four actually crawled
around on their hands and knees when
they were carving the map of Europe,
according to DR.. Charles Seymour
book, What Really Happened at
Paris" He says:
THE Council of Four met in the
front room of President Wilson's
house. There one might have seen
President Wilson himself on all tours,
kneeling on a gigantic map spread
upon the floor and tracing with his
finger a proposed boundary. other
plenipotentiaries grouped around him,
also on all tours. In such matters the
president took keener interest than
either Lloyd George or Clemenceau.
and absorbed with extraordinary speed
the salient points relating to an issue.
which We're frequently whispered to
him by some American expert sitting
on the sofa beside him.
This sounds like a gang of men re-
pairing flivver, rather than a peace
conference. Inducing European diplo-
mats to get down on the carpet and
crawl about on all four is in tune with
American "shirtsleeves' diplomacy"
Diplomats, after all, are human be-
ings and there come times when the
dignity of silk hats and high collars
has to be laid aside. For instance,
when the head Of the German repara-
tons commission takes out his china
pipe and has to ask Lloyd George for
a match. 6r when the map to be di-
vided anew covers so much territory
that it has to be- spread on the floor
or inspected from a stepladder.

PRESS COMMENT
Legislature Causes Worry
throughout State.

Various sections Of the state are
continually in a condition of worriment
lest the legislature shall enact meas
ures which will cause trouble to the
general public. The saying that mo
one can foretell what legislative
body will do" is 50 trite that numer-
Gus bodies of careful men are visiting
Tallahassee at frequent intervals. to
explain the trouble which would be
bound to ensue If certain bills are en-
acted. To be sure the office of the
governor, he being one of the common
men and anxious to view all laws from
the point of the common people, is al
ways open for visitors, and there is no
trouble in getting the ear" Of Cover :
nor Hardee; nor Is there any doubt
that he will review all measures very
carefully before he affixes his sigma
ture
One Of the measures causing alarm
is the bill that will prevent any whole
sale house from delivering it's goods
direct to the retailer as the sales are
made-except upon the payment Of
state and county tax which would be
prohibitive. At the present time there
are numerous wholesalers in Florida
who start out with their drummer" a
load of the goods mostly in demand.
Possibly these auto-trucks cover a RAJ
dius Of one hundred miles. The drum =
mer takes the = orders, delivers the
goods at the moment, the retailer
saves the freight or the express
charges. as the Sc may be. and has
the goods Immediately on sale. Such
a practice is fairly common in certain
lines of goods-and the work is held
by the retailers served as one that is
highly beneficial to them. The railways
and express companies. who are sure
to lose a certain amount of small traf-
fic, are against the practice. Like
wise are those houses located at points
too remote to use such means OF trans
portation for Immediately delivery. But
the passage OF such a measure would
mean even that an oil-truck Of either
OF the two great supplying companies
could not make its deliveries as is now
being done-and there would, be an
added amount to the prices now
charged for kerosene and gasoline. In
many ways would such legislation be
disastrous to the ultimate consumer
and lessen and retard the work of the
retailer.-Kissimmee Valley Gazette.

for days afterward. 1 could see them
again as covered in my bed with the
