Theodore w. Kobe

THEODORE W. kobe was that rarcst of paradoXes'
selhess politician. Politics his vocation to
which he devoted the last p years Of his life here in
Detroit
He was competent and conscientious public servant
and of the popular in the city He talked and
lived politics He was a shrewd observer of political
trends shrewd analyst of the merits and chances Of
-poltical asplrants--
But though he loved the planning and maneuyering
and turmoil of practical politics he sought sehshly
to exploit himself in that field And he invariably fought
for what he felt the best interest of his community
His most valuable publc work vas in traffic where
he served as the director Of the traffic violations
bureau and later until his death this week as referee
in Traffic Court He was an unrelenng foe of speeding
and reckless driving and contributed many sound IDEAS
for the betemcnt of traffic administration
Few public men boosted a wider circle of friends.
The friends of Pete" Kobe met him in many instances
through politics but they remained his friends because
of any political he might bestow but because they
were drawn to the himself and his honesty and
rugged character

PLANTATION as to why he could
not get going
Now a horse, if It could chat
with the chart-making boys
after a bad showing might
have the same excuse and they
could quote him in The chart,
which would be of great value
to the horse player.
But being unable 10 talk, the
horse has 10 sit back in its stall
and read the unflattering COM
ments of the chart makers that
IL was outrun, or quit the last
being a serious charge that
would bring libel suit from
defeated gladiator
Another familiar comment by
the chart makers is no OK
cu>eS. and yet they never have
any testimony on this point that
would pass with jury They
never have the testimony of the
horse.
MAYBE the horse Just did not
vi feel like running. which We
consider a legitimate excuse.
Many day VIC do not feel
like working, and on that day
our performance is apt 10 be
worse than usual, Yet Our con-
science does not Smite Us in
NieW Of our physical diSarfange-
mcnt
But the poor horse when il is
prepared for a -eaHHet- tell
lis trainer that II does not feel
like running that day that it
has a headache. or that il does
not sleep the night before and
Is filled with laSSitude.
If a horse could do this. or If
II could moan and Croan and
hold It's head 10 indicate IT'S dis
tEeSS- the trainer would prob
ably 60 10 The stewards and
Withdraw the Steed from the
race.
We have seen horses come on
the track walking StifflShly and
even limplng badly but many
trainers dismiss this apparent
disability lightly saying the
SleedS will walk out Of it and
sometimes they do and seem
none the worse for il.
But We would like to he able
10 read direct statements from
the horses in the charts and not
nave to accept mere hearsay.
