"PugIlism is barbarisTl-ls animaltSm.
It iS a disgrace to Christian civilization.
No Christian nation should permit Il.
A few years ago an attempt was made
to have on large scale puBtlistic exhi-
bitIons In st. Paul, but the citizens
strongly protested and Governor Mer.
ri1m issued proclamation prohibiting
Il. There wns no Aght II is n pity that
every state and every city in the Union
had not followed the example Of Minne-

der prize fighting popular. hope that
the good sense and moral instincts OF
