NOT POLITICAL.

There are some things in the article
communicated by "Workingman," that
are liable to mislead persons in regard
to the object of the anti-Chinese agita-
ton in Dayton. Altogether, though,
the article is good, The writer init.
mates that it is simply campaign ex.
citement, but we can positively inform
the public that it is not. The TINES
advocated the move for the general
benefit Of the community, and because
it is right. Our interests are in this
county and naturally we are in favor of
any move that will benefit the commu-
nifty. We do not believe that single
man who has taken any interest in this
movement has given politics thought
in connection with the move.

THAT CARD.

IL another column of this issue is a
card published by the Sheriff in answer
to a communication in the Meas Re
Porter. 1t has not been customary for
the TIMES to take up such things, but
when the boosted economy of the pres
ent Board of Commissioners is such a
roaring farce it is hardly to be expected
that man should be denied the pdvi-
lege of expressing himself. This paper
is not making fight for the Sheriff,
and we want it so understood. The
TINES is Republican paper, and being
such, will not be likely to advocate the
cause of any Democratic office-seeker.
The card in this issue is published

ready understand it, how the Demo-
cratic "reform and retrenchment" plan
works. Hereafter, no communications
in regard to differences between parties
will be published, but the TIMES will

THEIR METHODS OF TRAINING.


Prlzo Fighters and Athletes-Radical
Errors of Observation-Disclosures.
Ever since athletic sports have been fol-
lowed people have put themselves on record
through misstatemcnts about prize fighters
aud their methods Of training-how this or
that lrans death was caused by entertaining
or to- rapid preparation for any special
feat. No question has brought to light so
much gross Ignorance as this one. It is not
entertaining that causes the trouble, but in
sufficient work, or total negligence of train
ing. The writer's experience dates back to
the time when drcnchinS and many hours of
fatiguing work were the rule, and, oven with
all their errors the trainers of quarter of a
century ago got their men into better con-
dition than the latter day trainers do.
The modern trainers go to the other ex-
treme as they scarcely work their charges at
all, prcferring to have their men big and
strong rather than thin and overdrawn
Some have struck the happy medium, and
they invariably present their men in good
trim. This is generally accomplished by slow
and careful work, which, while not being
snowy, is none the less thorough. One Of the
most radical errors modern trainers Plunge
into is the rushing system. They get hold Of
a strapping young fellow, who is high in
flesh, and think that by the driving process
they can get him fit in fortnight They
do succeed in getting him down to
the last stage of sparseness of flesh, but the
athletes strength has also passed away with
tissue.
The man looks well to the eye, but he is
very much like a cardboard house-apt to
fall in it hit in the middle. Many an athlete
has stepped into the arena looking Git to con-

any of the girls of his own village and when

girl and those mtrusted with this important
