Charley Mitchell Sees Great Change.

Charley Mitchell, the veteran Eng
lish boxer, who once fought John l..
Sullivan the greatest battle of the lat
ter's career, when the two struggled to
France, with the rain pouring down
upon them, will soon be in ST. Louis.
Mitchell intends to remain in ST.
Louis for the worlds fair and will
probably establish himself in some
sort of business. In a signed article
lately he has pointed out the differ
ence between the modern fights and
those of the bare knuckle days. On
this point he says:
The boxing game has undergone a
great change since old John L. Sulli-
van and myself fought in 1883. There
are few, if any, of the old methods in
use in the fistic game. You have only
to compare some Of the old-time fights
with those of the present day to get
an idea of the change that has taken
place.
L have fought battles on the turf
with bare knuckles when we were
obliged to use heavy spikes in our
boots to get a good footing. There was
little use for resin in those days.
Nowadays you have your fine
club houses where a spectator can
witness the mill in evening dress, if
he chooses. You have fine rings, with
padded ropes and resined floors. The
days of the spikeshod fighters milling
with bare knuckles have passed.

HANDLES WITHOUT GLOVES The
NEW YORKER WHO WOULD
BE PRESIDENT.
Interesting Communication Was Ad-
dressed to Judge James McCabe
of WIIiamsport, Indiana.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May 1O.-W.
! BRYAN has written a letter which is
one Of the most interesting pieces OF
campaign literature yet produced.
The letter was written to Judge Jas,
McCabe of Williamsport Ind, for
merry of the Indiana supreme bench.
In part it is as follows:
"Lincoln. Neb., May ., 1904.
MY Dear Judge: l remember very
distinctly your part in the writing of
the Chicago platform and your loyal
tv to the ticket in 1900, and l am graf
flied. although not surprised, to know
that you fully realize the Importance
of the great contest in which we are
now engaged-a contest more import
ant. if possible, than the contest OF
1896, which resulted in the repudia-
ton of Mr.. Clevelands administration
by the democratic party. Then the
democratic party returned to virtue
after a disgraceful alliance with Wall
Street To fall now would be a de-
Iiberate yielding to the temptation and
denote a political instability which
would not only bring odium upon the
party. but end its chances for years

Southern Vehicle Makers.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 10.-The an
nual meeting of the Southern Vehicle
association began today at the Pied
mont hotel. Two hundred vehicle
manufacturers from Richmond, Waldo
sta, Birmingham, Nashville, New Or
leans and other cities of the south are
remain in session three days and will
be given over to a discussion of the
various questions of live interest to
the trade.

When Sullivan and l fought it was
question as to how hard a fighter
able to stand lots Of punishment,
There was none of the recently in
vented training apparatus to assist one
in getting into condition. The most
favorite exercise was punching heavy
sand bags, which was very hard work
in itself"

Fourth Indiana District.

RISING Sun, Ind, May 10.-Lin-
coin Dixon, of North Vernon, is the
only candidate for the congressional
nomination before the fourth district
democratic convention in session here
today and he will probably be named
by reclamation. The district is over

Deceive Some Democrats.

The reorganiZers, as YOU say, have
deceived some democrats. and it has
panied me to learn that some of the
prominent democrats of your state
have been caught in the trap, but Ger
tanIy the New York platform and the
loud speaking silence of Judge Parker
ought to uudeceiye them.
1t is impossible to conceive of a
democratic campaign fought on a
meaningless platform and under the
leadership of a muzzled candidate. The
excuse that his judicial position makes
it improper for him to discuss public
questions is a pitiful and contempti-
Bile preteuse. other judges have not
been so hampered by judicial ethics,
and besides he can resign any day and
thus free himself from the imaginary
restraints which he has invoked to
excuse his lack of frankness, and if
a democratic nomination is worth hav-
ing it certainly is worth resgning a
Judgshlp to secure. But the judges
attack of lockjaw does not save him;
actions speak louder than words. You
have doubtless heard of the simpleton
who. when leaving home, was told by
his mother that if he would not say
anything he could conceal from others
the fact that he was foolish. When
he returned he had sad report to
make to his mother

For Over Years

IHE WEEKLY STATESMAN has been a well
come visitor at the fireside of the best homes
IN the Walla Walla valley. Every week more
than three thousand people peruse its columns.
lHE WEEKLY STATESMAN today is the most
widely read weekly published in Wala Walla.
AS such its medium that brinos results r.
the advertiser. THE WEEKLY STATESMAN
Is bright SPACE paper, teeming with current
local events and telegraph news from all over
the world and circulates in over thousand
homes IN Southeastern Washington. Mer-
chants desiring to reach an exclusive field
covered only by THE STATESMAN use its
columns freely and with excellent results
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-05-10

found him out even though he has re-
fused to give his opinion upon public
questions. He may dodge the trust
question and the money question and
be silent upon imperialism, but when
he undertakes to secure a democratic
nomination by concealing his views, he
confesses himself lacking in at least
one essential principle OF democracy.
If democracy means anything, it means
the rule of the people, and no one de-
serves to be called democrat who
lacks confidence in the people, or who
does not recognize the right Of the
people to sit in judgment upon every
public question which concerns them
After devoting some space to the
right of the voters of the country to
tinues:
Judge Parker would refuse to con-
slider the case of a litigant who would
ask a decision while refusing to fur
nish any evidence or to cite any law
in support of his contention, and it is
just as absurd for Judge Parker to ex-
pect the party to consider his appli-
cation for a nomination when he with
holds the facts necessary for an intel
ligent determination of the question of
his availability.

No Place for Such Tactics.

IF he were engaged in a sham bat
tie, such tactics might be resorted to
with less serious consequences, but
when we are engaged in battle royal
between organized wealth and the
common people, the cause of the peo-
pie cannot safely be entrusted to one
who lacks either political convictions
or the courage to make an honest, a
constant and fearless attack on en-
trenched private privilege.
LAS you know, l have no choice
among candidates, but 1 am sure that
among more than six millions who
voted the ticket both in 1895 and 1900
there are many dauntless spirits whose
democratic zeal has defied repression,
men who are worthy to lead the mill
tant democracy and able to inspire the
masses with hope and resolution.
Very truly yours,
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-05-10
