Mad Bull First To The Goal
It took more than rigid training and strong
muscles to bring Mad Bull across the finish line last
night more than eight hours ahead of his nearest
rival. It took more than training and muscle to keep
Flying Cloud, Melika and the other half dozen
Indians in the race. Fighting qourage and strong
hearts carried these boys and men toward their
goal over 480 weary miles of road. When their feet
were blistered and muscles weary they kept“on com
ing, spurred forward by the desire to win. They
gave us a great race, wonderfully run.
The whole country has watched progress of the
marathon from San Francisco to Grants Pass.
News services have been carrying daily stories on
their positions and last night, when the race ended,
the local telegraph office was swamped by press cor
respondents, each trying his best to get a little time
on his rival. It was undoubtedly one of the biggest
events that has transpired in Grants Pass in recent
•«<>«
There was human interest in that race. Imagine
four thousand people lining the street of Grants
Pass waiting for hours for Mad Bull to come into
the city. These people knew that he would win but
they wanted to see him finish and cheer him for the
spirit he has shown. And this morning when Flying
Cloud came to town, people lined the road and
streets to see him and cheer him. He wasn’t first
but he also displayed the spirit for which his an
cestors were famed, and to the veteran Melika,
whose indomitable spirit kept him going in spite of
his 55 years goes the most profound respect.

It has been a wonderful thing, this marathon.
It is to be made an -annual international event and
Grants Pass must begin at once laying plans for
the coming year. To this city undoubtedly goes
much of the -credit for the amym» nf the race, but it
took' real runners to make it the success and in Mad
Bull, Flying Cloud, Melika and the others we have
the qualities which make clean sports so popular.
Another year will see the Redwood Highway Indian
marathon one of the leading sport events of the sea

Let Creditor Worry
I f some fellow who owed you money were spend
ing huge sums in riotous living yon would naturally
be somewhat concerned about the money he owed
yon. If you were compelled by circumstances to
match his expenditures yon would be still more con
cerned at his antics.
That is about the position of yonr Uncle Samuel
in connection with naval expenditures by debtor na
tions. As a matter of fact it is American money that
builds not only American ships but in some cases
foreign war vessels.
It is a peculiar fact, however, that the countries
least able to spend hugh sums upon their warships
have declined to enter the present conference.
France and Italy, who profess to be unable to pay
their internatioanl debts refuse to take any steps to
ward reducing naval expenditures other than those
already in force.
And here again nations are mnch like indi
viduals—it is those who can least afford it who spend
their means the most extravagantly.
