PRIZE FIGHT IN IOWA
Say That Jeffries- Ruhlin Bout May
be Pulled OF in Des Moiness
IOWA LAW IS SAID TO Be WEAK
Des Moines Sports Have Been Aosur-
ed by Legal Talent That the Law
Does Not Cover the case-Are Me-
gotiating With Principals.

Des Moines, Feb. Pit will not be
hot sport will be turned Des Moines-
ward, for here is where the future
events in the pugilistic world are
scheduled to take place. Negotiations
are already under way for the Jeffries-
Rubin fight. The Des Moines Athletic
club will be formed Thursday night
and under the auspices of this organ
ization arrangements are being made
for two or three bouts that will star
tie the natives. The management has
investigated the Iowa law regarding
prize fighting and finds it Just as
good as we could have made our
selves"
In other words, the best legal talent
has informed the management of the
new club that it is taking practically
no risks in scheduling any fights THAI
| it can get. And you know the good
things there are in the market" the
hottest of the bunch remarked, with
significant wink.
Considering the fact that Ohio and
Illinois have had to pass up the jeff
| ries-Ruhlin fight on account of the
stringency of their laws it may be
possible to secure the big bout for Qes
Moines. The money matters are easy,
| as it is understood that the new club
can secure any amount up to $780,
600, so great is the confidence money
ed men have in the management of the
proposed organization.
To be more specific, it is fact that
negotiations have been going on for
some time between Tommy Crooks,
the well known Des Moines sport pro-
moter, and Manager Chase of the
| Auditorium, with view to pulling off
the Jeffries Rubin fight Des Moines.
Crooks has gone further and has been
in correspondence with eastern prize
fight promoters. including w. A..
Brady, on the subject. The latter has
assured Mr.. Crooks that the big fight
ers will come here and he will sign a
contract to that effect the moment he
is guaranteed there will be no inter
ference by the authorities.
Governor Shaw has been consulted
and while admitting the Lester anti
fight law is lamentably weak, intimat-
ed that as a last alternative he might
call the legislature in an extra session
before he would permit the fight to
be pulled off in Iowa,

Non-PariIsan Canal Bill.

Democrats and Republicans alike united in the House in declaring the Nicaragua canal proposition non-par- tisan. All parties are committed to it, and 1t is doubtful if dozen votes can be mustered against it in either House, although the international rail roads dislike it, and the Panama schemers are at work. Their day for mischief is, however, passed. The bill is marked for passage.
 The vote in the Senate on the Hay Pauncefote treaty was wholly non- partisan. and without real taint of sectionalism Only six Senators voted against ratification, and they opposed the treaty because it did not distincly and unequiyocally hand over the con trol of the canal to the United States. It really does do so, but its terms are susceptible of two constructions. The six Senators who voted against rati- fication were Teller of Colorado, Gull person of Texas, Bacon of Georgia, Tillman of South Carolina, Blackburn of Kentucky and Mallory of Florida. These six are all Democrats, but they are no better Democrats than Bate of Tennessee, Clay of Georgia, Cockrell of Missouri. Foster of Louisiana, Jones of Arkansas, McLaurin of Mississippi, Talliaferro of Florida, or many more, including Senators Morgan and Pettus of this State.
 When the Republican Senators de cided to leave Senator Morgan at the head of the canal committee, they practically said that the entire ques- tion is above and beyond party poli- tics. and despite the large patronage it offers it should be treated as non partisan question. This lifts it up, and the more the great work is lifted above party and left in the hands of the army and of the President, the less the chances for corruption and scan- dals will be in the long course of con struction work now about to be begun.

North Louisiana Speaks Out.

The votes cast from time to time by the Louisiana delegation in support of duties upon rice and sugar have aroused bitter opposition among the men in northern Louisiana who do not grow rice or sugar. and yet are robbed at every turn, in every pur- chase. by the Dingley tariff. Says the Monroe, La, News:
 The cotton growers of North Louisiana must pay l or 2 cents more per pound for sugar and rice in order that the sugar cane and rice grower of South Louisiana may pocket bigger profits on his products This is Democracy, says the entire Lou isiana delegation in Washington. The sugar and rice growers of South Louisi- ana are prosperous. but the cotton grow CT of North Louisiana is nearly in the hands of the sheriff, yet the Louisiana delegation in Washington says he must contribute to the prosperity of the rice and sugar growers of his hard-earned dimes every time he dips his spoon into the sugar bowl or rice dish. This Is De- mocracy with whoop
 This is only half of the case. The sugar and rice votes of Louisiana aid in maintaining in force the entire Dingley tariff, which robs the con- sumer on nearly every purchase he makes, some times unmercifully-so unmercifully that there would be re- volt at once if it had not been con trived to do the robbing in an indirect and hidden manner. Robbery on the indirection plan Sunderlies the entire rotten system of tariff taxation, and no Democrat in Louisiana can afford to support such a system. He is not a Democrat if he does support it, for the party is pledged over and over again to tariff reform-to the adoption of strictly revenue tariff. The tariff that the Louisiana delegation from time to time supports is chiefly tarin for the benefit of lot of trusts and other robbers, not a tariff primarily for revenue. The Democrats propose to put revenue first, and to relegate robbery for private account to the rear, and if Louisiana falls out of line on this question she falls out of the Democratic party into the embraces of the looters and plunderers.
