F|Tz KNOCKED OUT
IN EIGHTH ROUND
Jeffries Terribly Punished Be-
fore CornIshman Went to
the Mst--cha m pion Will e
Now FIGHT Corbett. b.

fNews-Democrat Leased Wire serviceS
San Francisco, July 26.-After the
brilliant and courageous work. Rob-
ert Fitzsimmons last night forfeited
his lat claim upon the heavyweight
championship, at the close of an
eight-round contest.
He was knocked to the floor by
mons superior skill, Jeffries de-
he had so badly punished the cham
pion that it was a foregone conclusion
among the spectators that the Cor
nishman must win.
Bleeding from a number of gashes
in the face, apparently weakening and
clearly unable to cope with Fitzsim-
mons superior skill, Jefferies de-
livered two lucky punches as Fitz-
simmons paused in his fighting to
speak to him, and turned the tide.
The battle was brief but noteworthy,
and will live in pugilistic history.
Fitzsimmons tried once to arise from
the mat but sank down again in help
lessness and heard himself counted
out, where but a moment before he
had apparently had the better Of it.
Joe Siler, referee and sporting
writer says If a non-spectator had
seen Jeffries and Fitzsimmons two
minutes after the fight Fitz would
have been picked for the winner.
There was not mark on him, while
Jeffries' face was bloody and beaten
to pulp.
Only Jeffries' stamina and capacity
for punishment saved him. Fitz land
ed when and where he liked. Today
Jeffries is out with his nose spread
all over his face, his right eye cut
and swollen, his left eye almost closed
and the left side of his. cheek badly
puffed up.
The San Francisco Examiner says
this morning: "W. w. Naughton, the
sporting writer, learned Thursday
night that the fight was programmed
for Fitzsimmons to 60 out in the
eighth round. The information came
from the Jeffries people.
'Mr. Naughton wrote out the pro-
gram, signed it, sealed it and put it
in the custody of Mayor Schmitz be-
fore the fight. The fight came off ac-
cording to program. In the eighth
round, when there had been no severe
fighting, Fitzsimmons dropped his
hands, turned and spoke to Jeffries.
Jeffries hit him and Fitzsimmons went
to his hands and knees and stayed
down until he was declared out. Then
he got up and walked around the ring,
his eye clear, his voice strong and
not bruise on him."
A telegram denying the Examiners
story says: "Ten thousand people
saw Fitz whipped. The Examiner
view that the fight was fake pure and
simple is not shared by those who
saw the fight. Both fighters deny as
absurd the story Of the fake"
Jeffries' share of the receipts
amounts to $14,346; Fitzsimmons $9,-
564.
The gross receipts were $31,SS0.
Billy Delaney states that Jeffries is
now ready to meet Corbett. If salts
factory arrangements can be made he
will fight next month, though he pre-
fers to wait awhile.
At noon Jeffries showed up with a
face beyond recognition, both eyes
swollen so he could not seen and his
nose is broken.
Fitz was in such pain early this
morning that a physician had to be
called.

LEGALIZED EVILS--ND. 81.
BY JOHN DAN NJ ER

Several weeks ago there appeared in
the Sunday School Times an excellent
article written by Mary II. Hunt, a
pronounced advocate of temperance,
in which she uses the following SEN
tence:
The saloon will stay until a ma
jority Of the people do not want to
drink what it has to SELL"
This is doubtless will intended, but
1t is great mistake. The saloon H.
not here because majority" of the
people want to drink. If the saloon
had no supporters except the men
who drink" there would be little
trouble to get It abolished. This de-
structive institution is here not alone
by the support of its immediate pat
rons but because otherwise good men,
and temperance men, who never
touch the Intoxicating cup, deacons OF
churches, ministers of the gospel, VINO
deride the saloon and say bitter things
against the traffic, walk right up to
the ballot box and vote the same tick
ct that the saloonkeeper, the brewer
and the distiller votes, viz: For some

you will pay the price, we will give
our consent that you may open sa-

Consistency is jewel is as true as
it ever was. Therefore if the saloon
is hindrance to the progress of NOR
ality and Christian institutions, every
man who votes a tax or license ballot
endorses the existence of the saloon
and helps to hinder the work of the
church aud Sunday school. No argu-
ment or sophistry can contradict this
just and legitimate conclusion. The
old adage is, Tell me the company
you keep and | will tell you who you
are Just as true is this, Tell me the
ticket you vote and | will tell you
whether you favor the saloon or
not" Every tax and license party
seeks the saloon vote and is in favor
of legali2ing the same by some sys-
TEN of tax or license law, and to vote
with such a party is to vote to legal
ize the saloon, and the preachers bal
lot for such party goes just as far
towards legalizing the saloon as If
cast by the biggest brewer or saloon
man in the country. No mental reser-
walton or high profession of hatred for
the saloon can change these facts.
Let every minister OF the gospel,
every deacon, every church member
honestly look into this matter, and If
this is done, you will certainly come
to this conclusion, that you must
either stop voting with any tax or
license party or else stop talking
against the saloon. All the saloon
voters are In the tax and license par
ties and these parties are constantly
seeking the saloon vote and are
pledged to legalize this unholy and
destructive traffic, Come out from
among them and be We separate" Is
the voice of inspiration and of true
Christian citizenship.

There is no danger of getting a sa-
loon man or hummer to vote any other
than a tax or license ticket. When it
can as truthfully be said that no
preacher or Christian will vote for any
tax or license party, then the days
of the saloon will be numbered. But
the great majority of the preachers
and Christians vote a tax or license
ticket and thereby the saloon is kept
in our midst. The more honest and
thoughtful men look at this burning
question, the more it is certain that
the saloon and all its horrible ruin
are here because the great majority
of professed Christians think more Of
political party than they do of their
Christian principles. Think this over.
dear Christian brother, and see If you
are not justly condemned when you
continue to deride the saloons and yet
by voting with a tax or license party
you are endorsing the saloon and vot-
ing to legalize this greatest of all
evils in our midst.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1902-07-29

This is why the saloon is here. The
tax and license laws whereby the traf-
fic obtains a legal existence are what
keeps the saloon in our midst. In
Ohio today we have over ten thou
sand saloons, legalized by the in
famous Dow tax law, and If ten thou
| sand more should apply next week,
with cash in hand to pay the fee, our
rulers would say. Go ahead, we will
protect you" This is what keeps the
saloon in our midst. Ministers of the
gospel, deacons of the churches and
Sunday school workers step forward
and vote the Republican ticket and
the Republican party says: I'VE
point with just pride to the Dow tax
law"
| 1t will not do to throw the RESPONSE
bility of the existence, of the saloon
upon the drinking men. No, no; they
are comparatively few in number. The
responsibility lies with the voters.
Every ballot cast for a tax or license
| party gives consent to the existence
of the saloon. 1t makes no difference
how much these voters talk against
the saloon. They may preach against
the saloon. yea. they may even pray
against the saloon, but so long as they
continue to vote a tax or license bal
lot just that long their whole power
as citizens is recorded in favor OF
keeping the saloon.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1902-07-29

Ballots count for what the cold type
says on the face of the ticket. A bal
lot for tax or license party counts for
that party no matter what may be the
talk or even prayers of the voter who
casts such a ballot. Therefore if a
hummer, a saloonkeeper or brewer
casts Republican ticket in Ohio he
knows it counts in favor of the Dow
tax law in our state, and If the same
kind of ticket is voted by a deacon, a
preacher or a bishop, he knows that
his ticket is counted in favor of legal
izing the saloon, by the payment of
the $3.50 Dow tax. No judges on earth
can tell the difference between two tax
ballots after they are put into the
ballot box, whether deposited by a sa-
loonkeeper or a preacher. Therefore
it is downright dishonesty for any
man in the pulpit or out of it to talk
against the saloon and then vote with
political parties that are committed d
to the unholy and unconstitutional tax
business in Ohio in order to get the
liquor vote.
