The president gets very close to the
masses when he urges the conservation Of
the public domain. In past times there
may have been excuse for winking at
evasions Of the land laws that led to the
influx If capital and population and the
creation of industries, but that time is
gone by. The government should make
it fixed rule not to part with any more
land that is not to be used in home build
ing. The next session of congress can
hardly fail to act in this matter. Trenend-
Gus abuses of the land laws are in opera
ton even now, and the last remnants Of
the easily tillable public domain are not
getting into the possession OF men who
will use them for the benefit Of the coun-
try to such an extent as they should.

Canadians continue to raise and educate

Governor Pennypacker was very inapt
in his citation of a cartoon that in his
opinion exceeded the bounds OF news

was not that the power Of the press

would overturn governors OF the Penny
packer kind, mere tools of their political
makers The rest Of his argument for the

DECISION UNSATISFACTORY
Fuss Over the Root-Flynn Battle at
Pueblo.

Pueblo, Col. Nov. 27.-In the eighth
round of what was to have been a 20
round go, Jack Root. of Chicago. was
given the decision over Jim Flynn of
Pueblo. The fight took place before the
Rover club and was attended by very
large crowd. The decision of Referee
Otto Floto of Denver, was questioned
by the crowd as F'Ioto counted nine and
used the word Out for his tenth
count. The "out" found Flynn on his
feet ready to continue the contest. EX-
element ran at such a pitch that the
crowd would probably have attacked
had it not been for police interference.
Order was soon restored and there was
no bloodshed.
Referee Floto made the statement af-
ter the fight that the correct manner of
counting was to use the tenth second
as the word out
Flynn decided that he had been rob-
bed of the fight as. he was merely TAX
ing the time allowed him by the rules
of the game. The crowd was with him
in his stand.
The blow that put Flynn to the mat
was a right short arm jab which caught
him on the left, point of the jaw. The
blow came after a swift nixup in which
the honorS We're about even. The fight
from start to finish was aggressive on the
part of both men and replete with clev-
er work The Pueblo man made
great showing and although the Chicago
man showed the better ring general
ship, Flynn showed that he was able
to hold his own with Root.

ALL TALK.
No Action of Importance by Colombia
Secessionists.

Panama, Nov. 27.-An American trav-
cling man who has just arrived here
from Buena Ventura on the steamer
Mananie, after a stay of twenty days in
the department of Cauca, reports that
the feeling of unrest in Cauca and An
tiqua continues and the secession move
ment there has the support of many
prominent men, including a number of
high officials.
An outbreak was recently started in
Call, the business center of the Cauca
departments, but the authorities quickly
suppressed it and arrested the ring
leaders, who suffered no harm, probably
because of the symDathies of the off,
Gals with the movement.
The secession movement, this man
says, Is serious, but it is impossible to
fOretell what will be done or when any
step will be undertaken. He also says
there is no evidence of any warlike or
aggressive movements against Panama !;
there is plenty of threatening talk, but
no action.
The Americans at Cali have not been
molested. The authorities at Buena
Ventura, the traveller says, were in
clined to be annoying when he left there,
but nothing serious had happened. The
discomfort in Cauca and Antigua arises
from the same causes that led to the
movement for independence on the
Isthmus.
