To the voters and -citizens of Clacka

As the nominee of the Republican
party for the office of Recorder of
Conveyances of Clackamas County I
wish to state that I have been a .resi

will' be of benefit to all the people.
If you see fit to trust me with this

ner. Yours truly,

TAUGHT WOOD TO PITCH.
Undo of Boston's Star Twirler Claims
Ho Discovered Nephew's Ability.
Mr. Samuel Sheffer of Chicago, an
uncle of "Smoky Joe" Wood of the
Boston Red Sox, claims the credit for
having discovered his nephew's fling
ing wing along about fifteen years ago
and also the further credit of having
aided in Its development at that time.
Joe was approaching then the serious
age of some eight years, but. it ap
pears, had already begun his prepara
tion for a pitching career.
Mr. Sheffer tells of many a Sunday
afternoon spent in the woods south of
Chicago with Joe pegging manfully
for hours at a tin can perched on a
stump. Uncle Sam's part of the per
formance consisted of the arduous
task or reperehing the can after Joe
had knocked it south with an inshoot
The target practice sessions waned
only when the youngster became alto
gether too proficient.
These training trips saw the begin
nings of that "smoke" which has since
made Joe famous, and they contain a
very valuable suggestion for the
youngsters who have the forests and
the tin cans at hand, the forests being
a prime requisite, however, in these
degenerate days of plate glass win
dows and apartment houses.

CARPENTIER'S CAREER.
Marvelous Success of Eighteen-year- j
old Boxer of France. j
Ten years ago boxing was practically i
an unknown sport in France. Today !
a lad of eighteen is their middleweight j
champion. How this remarkable re-1
suit was brought about was explained j
recently by Georges Carpeiirier. whom !
all France believes is a future chain- ;
pion of the world. j
With the head and build of a young ;
Roman gladiator. Carpentier's manner j
Is modest and unassuming. j
"When I was ouite a ha by." hp said, j
"I used to startle my parents by the j
terrific punches 1 gave to other chil-1
dren quite unintentionally. At the '
age of nine I joined a gymnasium so
ciety, presided over by my present
manager. M. Deseampes. Although we
children were strictly forbidden to box
I was caught one day having a few'
rounds with a youngster about twice
as big as myself. Although he gave
me a reprimand Deseampes couldn't
help admiring the way I wipd thp
floor with my adversary, and promised
to give me a few lessons. After thp
third his mind was made up. but niv
parents had different ideas nlout my
future.
"The time had come for me to begin
my apprenticeship as a "pit boy' at 20
cents a day. If I had done as they
wanted I might have been 'on strike"
now, like my former mining comrades.
Deseampes came to the rescue. He of
fered to pay my parents the amount of
wages I would have received if they
would let him take me in hand for six
months. They agreed, and I don't
think they ever regretted Mt as they
now own a good hotel which I bought
for them for $20,000.
"My first prize was one of $50. There
are some good boxers among the stable
lads employed, but I managed to beat
them after a hard struggle. I became
a professional boxer.
"I needn't tell you anything about
my big matches, as you probably know
as much about them as I do. 'Besides,
the lookerson see most of the game,
don't they? Have I ever been knocked
out? Yes, but, it was the English
champion that did it The day I cross
ed to meet Young Josephs I was sick
as a dog. If I had been obliged to box
the same day a child could have knock
ed me out In one round. The next time
I cross I'll ask one of our flying men
to take me over.
"1 had a narrow escape, too, when 1
was giving exhibition bouts with Jack
Johnsou. Unintentionally. I think, he
caught me a hook on the jaw that stag
gered me. but I countered with an un
dercut that seemed a revelation to hini
Of course I know that he could have
pulverized me if he had wanted to. biit
we didn't continue the sparring bouts
1 was, uot sorry, as I must have cut n
ridiculous figure beside the "black gi
ant,' but I learned some useful tricks
from him.
"I have always learned a good deal
while watching other boxers, especial
ly my future adversaries. When you
know the style and mentality of a boxer
you hold two trump cards. Always try
to draw first blood It helps to demor
alize your opponent.
"I get up every day at S and go foi
an hour's walk. At !:."! a light break
fast, consisting of weak cocoa and
toast From 10 till noou I read oi
'loaf about.' At noon a substantial
lunch, consisting of unilerdoup uipat
bread and a little fruit, washiur down
with copious drafts of light beer. Aft
er lunch I walk for a half hour At ?.
my real work begins. I do an hour's
gymnastics, principally Swedish, which
keep the muscles supple. After that I
do a quarter of an hour's skipping and
the same amount of punching the ball.
"Then twenty minutes' rest. I finish
with three rounds of three minutes
each with my sparring partner, then a
shower bath and five minutes' massage.
So you see my day's work is finished
in about two hours
. "I dine at 7. with practically the same
bill of fare as at lunch, plus a little
cheese. After dinner I pass the time as
pleasantly as I can until 10:30. which is
my bed time. It's all pretty easy, isn't
it? Yes, I smoke one cigarette a. day
on the sly.
"Up to the present the greatest diffi
culty I have had has been to keep my
weight down. Thank goodness, 1 can
enjoy a good, square meal now. and I
am In the heavy brigade. I was five
ounces over when I stepped on the
scales before my match with Harry
Lewis and had to pay $400 forfeit.
That beats old Shylock's pound of
flesh, doesn't it?"

In answer to an
aspersion on his

stated publicly
that you were in
possession o f a
fact, or facts,
which, if known to
the public,- would
e n 1 1 rely destroy
the prospects of
myself at the en
suing election. I
hope that upon
more mature re
flection you will
view the public in
terest as the para

tion. Lincoln to
Colonel Robert Allen.
In addition to these choics and dig
nified expressions, Theodore Roose
velt, formerly holder of the greatest
office on earth, lately, in announcing
his candidacy, added the phrase, "My
hat is in the ring."
When Judge A. B. Anderson of In
dianapolis, a highly respected gentle
man, rendered a decision in the Pana
ma Canal scandal, which was displeas
ing to Mr. Rocsevelt, he is reported
to have made the following courteous
comment: "Judge Anderson 1 is a
damned jackass, he is a crook and a
jackass, and I do not care if the whole
world knows it" '
Also, when addressing a crowd at
Joplin, Mo., a few days since, he
saw a man in his audience wearing
a yellow .Taft badge. This caused
him to remark, that the color of the
badge was very appropriate, as any
man who would support Taft had a
yellow streak in him somewhere. Can
you imagine the kind and broad-minded
Lincoln, to whom Roosevelt likes
to compare himself, making such a
remark to one who honestly differed
with him politically?
WHO IS MR. PERKINS?
DARTMOUTH'S GIANT PLAYER,
Hanover Football Eleven Has Six Foot
Four Lineman This Season.
As for several years past, the Dart
mouth rush line will be big. heavy and
powerful, but there is one giant who
stands out above even such rangy fel
lows as Engelhorn. Whitniore, Captain
Bennett Estep and Margeson.
This is J. H. Beer. '14. who stands six
feet four inches in his stocking feet
and who Is trying for guard or tackle,
having played both positions on the
varsity a year ago.
It is said that when Beer came from
Lawreneeville academy two years back
and climbed the hill into Hanover, car
rying his own grip, the sophomores ran
to the woods.
Who is George W. Perkins? Who
is the man who stands ready to put
up unlimited cash to get Roosevelt
elected? Here is the answer, cut
from the pages of the report of the
Steel Investigating Committee of the
House of Representatives: " -
Director of the United States Steel Cor
poration. Chairman of finance committee and di
rector of International Harvester Co.
Director of Astor Trust Co.
Director of Bankers' Trust Co.
Director of Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton Railroad Co.
Director Cincinnati, New Orleans &
Texas Pacific Railway Co.
Director Erie Railroad Co.
Director German-American Insurance
Co.
Director German Alliance Insurance Co.
Director International Mercantile Ma
rine Co.
Director Marquette & Bessemer Dock
Navigation Co.
Director National City Bank of New
York.
Trustee of New York Trust Co.
Director of Northern Pacific Railway
Co.
Chairman of board. Pere Marctuette
Railroad Co.
Nearly all of these companies con
trol or own a large number of other
companies.
Mr. Perkins is a shrewd man. He
has millions of dollars invested in the
various corporations and trusts above
enumerated. Several of J:hem are now
being prosecuted by the Taft admin
istration. Is he financing Mr. Roose
velt's campaign in order to have in the
White House a friend or an enemy?
William Allen White of Kansas, in an
appeal for contributions to the Third
Term campaign fund, said: "The
men who finance the campaign con
trol the administration.", Does the
country want an administration which
is controlled by a director in fifteen
different trusts and corporations? -

FIGHT WITHIN REPUBLICAN
PARTY.
It seems to me that the highest
obligation of real progressive Re
publicans in every state is to main
tain their organization and con
tinue to fight within the lines of
the Republican party for progres
sive principles, policies and can
didates. No aid or encouragement
should be given to a third party
plan to divide the progressive vote
and destroy the progressive Repub
lican movement. No break should
be permitted in the progressive
ranks which will, endanger the elec
tion of any true progressive Repub
lican anywhere. Senator LaFol
lette's Weekly Magazine. July 27,

HANDICAPS.
Young man:
1 want you to read what Macaulay
says about the opposiug generals at the
battle of Merwindeu:
"Of all the 120.000 men gathered
around Merwindeu under all the stand
ards of western Europe, it is probable
that the two feeblest in body were the
hunchbacked dwarf who urged for
ward the fiery onslaught of France und
the asthmatic skeleton who covered
England's slow retreat." ,
You are neither a hunchbacked dwarf
nor an asthmatic skeleton.
But suppose you were?
Or. suppose you are a runt and a
weakling, physk-ally ? ,
Nevertheless, take courage!
There's Napoleon. You think of him
as a robust, snwedoff little giant able
to get along with four hours' sleep,
bat do yon know .
He canfe to Paris an undersized, hol
low cheeked boy. at whom they poked
fun at the engineering school because
he waa small? Even after he had
shown special talent as an artillery
man he was dismissed from the army
and despaired of bis future.
He tells us about making the thin
soup upon which he and bis brother
lived, and be says, "I breakfasted ofi"
dry bread, but 1 bolted the door on my
poverty."
Note the nerve and the fine pride of
the phrase.
Most young, men would have given
