A PAIR OF BATTERED PUcs,

The last struggle for the pugiistic
championship of the world was trihe
more brutal than usual. True, neither
one of the pugs was placed hors de COM

both Jeffries and Sharkey are today bad
ly battered-up specimens of humanity.
With two broken ribs and a wrerch~0
shoulder Sharkey is glad to be assis ed
in his movements, while Jeffries, with
head pounded to jelly, split nose and
an arm hanging useless at his side, pre-
sents spectacle that, under almost any
other circumstances, might excite SYM
pathy. AS 1t is, however, the men II
receive scant commiseration. The one
thing that removes such brutes from the
pale of coincidence Is the fact that at any
time during the progress of one of these
demOralizing mills either principal is at

Considered from the point of view Of
the average sporting man the recert cpl

THEY KNOW 1T ALL.

1t is generally acknowledged that in no
department of governmental science are
the American people so backward an in
that which relates to the administration
of the affairs of large cities We have
hardly advanced a single step from the
crudest understanding of the needs OF
good government Of our municipalities
Here in this city we have been engae ed
in an incessant struggle to bring orGer
and responsibility out of the chaos which
system have produced. Neither here Tor
elsewhere can it be said that we have 81
yet made any material advancement, save
alone in the single particular of the adop-
ton of the Australian ballot All our
views as to the dispensat:on of power
ard responsibility are as elementary as
they have been at any time from the
beginning.
A CLEAN of hope of better things was
afforded when short time ago an or
ganization was effected known as "The

NEGLECT OF JEFFERSON.

There are millions of men In the Unit d
American Democracy is, next to Wash,
ington, the greatest man in American his
tory. They accept his political teachings
as the polar star of American liberty In
civil life they conceive him to have been
the one man of all others to whom they
owe the perpetuation of American social
and political institutions in their pristine
integrity, and but for whose influence,
in precept and example, in the formative
stages of our constitutional system they
would have degenerated into the w ak
imitation of the British constitutional
plan to which our present rulers seek
to reduce them. All over the lard clubs
and societies are named after him, d
men accept his doctrines as the touch,
stone of true political conviction.
While thus Americans attest their love
and veneration of the name of Thomas
Jefferson it is a remarkable circumstance
that, If we are not mistaken, Inside the
cities of Richmond and Washington there
is not a solitary monument in bronze or
stone erected to the memory of this great
philosopher and humanitarian. We have
crowded our places of popular resort in the
great cities with monuments commemor-
alive of the genius of soldiers and states
men, of poets, philosophers and invent
ors. We have not confined ourselves to
thus expressing our reverence and love
of the great men of our own land. We
raise monuments as well to the memory
of those whose genius has adorned and
honored other lands besides our own.
