OFFERS VARIETY
in TODAY'S NEWS
By HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK, April 26. - This
being one of those years when the
nation is in search of a real leader,
this department begs permission to
ascend the roStrum and nominate
James Joy Johnston, boy bandit
and ruling head of Madison Square
Garden.
A leader requires courage and a
desire to help his people. Mister
Johnston is okay on both scores.
He proved that when, chest out,
head erect, eyes sparkling, he an
nounced that the first class cabins
for the Sharkey- -Schmeling fight
would cost exactly % dollars.
The second he said % bucks
there could be no doubt of his
courage. His sanity, yes. But his
courage, no. But there was more
behind the selection of such a stu
pendous tariff than a mere desire
to flout his courage. Mister john
ston was thinking of the people,
especially those people who paid
26 bucks to see the first fiasco be-
tween the Messrs. Sharkey and
Schmeling.
BY making the price % bucks
Mister Johnston prevented great
many saps from attending. Know
ing how deeply boxing nuts love to
be horn-swoggled, Mister Johnston
realized only drastic measures would
suffice.
Then there's the psychological an
giles. Think what it will mean to
this nation to know that there is
one man who hasn't lost hope;
one man who believes that some
where in this broad land of ours
there is a person with as much as
% bucks.
1t is the most encouraging note
sounded since the crash. People
are ready to begin to think they
really have that much, and there
may be a tidal wave of vicarious
spending that will sweep us to the
crest and fill every dinner pail
with caviar and pate fois gras.
Cheap Seats Distant
deeply into matters, Mister john
ston's relief platform may offer a
flaw. I refer to the $685. seats.
Why, some are sure to ask, why, if
Mr.. Johnston wanted to keep the
people out and thus save them
from being bilked, did he offer such
a cheap seat?
The answer is simple. What will
man get for 1895? Even those
who paid &c bucks at the last fight
didn't get anything, so you can cas-
lily guess what the five-buckerS got.
Yep, that's right Nothing. The
only difference was that they got
theirs from a distance. And moth"
ing, no matter whether you are
close to it or a mile away, still re-
mains nothing. Or am l getting in
over my head?
1t is logical to assume that the
$685. seats will be on the rim Of
the Garden bowl. AS there is no
bowl as yet, it is impossible to say
just how removed the rim will be
from the ring But judging by the
descriptions of the bowl given off
by the Garden officials-you should
hear 'em go when they get started
it will be a good days run from
the top to the bottom.
The only chance the $385 pew
holders have of seeing anything
worth while will be for Sharkey to
take off on a nonstop flight from
the ring, and soar over their heads.
Being as this is about the only
thing he never has performed in a
ring, he's liable to do 1t.

DOLLARS SPUR WORK

GRIDLEY, Calf. U.Py-A section
gang foreman was having hard
time getting his Mexican crew TO
do much work when Max Lava
tora, crew member, gave a shout.
His shovel had uncovered three
silver dollars, buried near "a rail-
road tie, tarnished, but spendable.
The workmen needed no foreman
to spur them on for the remainder
of the day.

delphia in IL innings yesterday.
The Cubs were idle, as were nine

the bottom of the leagues ladder,
with the Cards mounting one rung

UNREASONABLE AND IRRESPONSIBLE

The people of the Territory of Alaska are unreason- able and irresponsible
 Now please do not get angry this statement for prove by less authority than the Alaska Road Commission.
 Section 29 of the Compiled Laws an Act of Congress passed May l4 1906 provides in part: The said board (Alaska Road Commission) shall prepare maps, plans and specifications of every road trail they may locate and lay out and whenever than $20OOO in the az gregae shall have to be expended in the actual constc on of any road section of road designed to be pema men contract for the work shall be let by them the lowest responsible bidder upon sealed bids after due lce under rules and regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of War The board may reject any bid if they find they deem the unreasonaby high if they find that there Is combination among bidders In no responsible and reasonable bid be secured then the work may be carried with material and pro- cured and hired by the board The rules to the manner in which the work of repair shall be done wheth CT by contract otherwise, shall govern in case of iginal construction of the road or trail"
 Under the Act of Congress creating the Alaska Fund the Alaska Road Commission has received from license taxes derived from the Territory $770000 has also received from the Territorial Legislature under the called cooperative agreement Sl7O0O00 and from the Federal government $11, ,750000, total of SEVENTEEN MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED AND SEyENTY-TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS
 We are unable to find any record of contract ever being let for the construction of any road by the Alaska Road Commission find any trace of bids ever being called for.
 It is therefore, quite evident that the Alaska Road Commission finds the people of Alaska either unreason able or irresponsible
 Experience has taught the value of competition in the construction of public works. All buildings in Alaska constructed upon competitive bids the Bur- eau of Public Roads functions satisfactorily under the same system every state municipal road building ac- tvty in the Union works on this basis Congress by the law quoted above attempted to extend the prnc- pie to Alaska but the Alaska Road Commission calmly dsregars the clear provision of the statute builds up it's machine and does as it pleases.

WALTER 5. BERRY
AT HEALTH FORUM
Told of Ten-Year Search
for Health in the
West
SOME VALUABLE HINTS

Telling the audience, last night.
at the Y. M. C. A. Health forum
of his ten year fight for health in
the west, Walter S. Berry, said:
Regular mild exercise keeps
people in tho best of health. 1t is
not the climate or being out In
the air every day or some parti-
cular form of exercise. but it Is
q regular routine of healthful liv-
ing that maintains the best health.
Do everything in moderation" said
Mr. Berry. Health Is our most
valuable possession but we deal
with 1t most carelessly. A person
in poor physical condition Is apt
to pick up any disease"
Outstanding athletes in college,
are often times old and fiabby ten
years after their graduation said
Mr. Berry. He accounted for this
in the fact that the athlete ceases
his strenuous training after he
leaves college, and his physical
condition suffers q distinct drop.
Mr. Berry laid particular en-
phasis on the disadvantages of
smoking to some people. saying
that one cigar after the noon and
evening meal increased the heart
action ten per cent. EVERY per-
son should consult doctor before
taking up smoking" he said.
Mr. Berry is president of the
Foremen's club and an active par
ticipant in Y. M. c. A. affairs.
