Commencement Orators Ought To
Change Their Style.
Monroe journal.


When q man goes out to speak to
people he at least ought not to do
them any harm by holding up false
ideas OF life and confusingyOungp eo-
ole as to the meaning OF success.
The commencement speaker has
much to answer for along this line.
Boys and girls have been told 50 OF
ten about the success Of big men, and
so little about the success OF those
who, though not born great, made
the most of themselves and lived
happy and useful, though not fam
Gus lives, they are apt to get the
wrong ideas about what success real
" means; and because they can't all
be president or governor, as they
are falsely told they can be, they are
apt to think that they can't be any
thing. The value of education is
dwelt upon as Il means to achieve
wealth or fame or both. This is why
there is so much error rs regards the
true value Of education. which means
simply that each individual should be
trained or educated to use to the
greatest duNdiitd9c Whatever ponCi0
he has, be they large or small. But
being told that education means
that n boy will necessarily become a
governor or II senator or O"cnpy some
other high place, many people have
come to think of education i'll this
sense, and SO, when they see man
who has been to college and been
educated" and does no good in life,
they say that education does
not pay. The commencement sky
scrapers ought to get down to their
business and find what education
really is and then talk about it, and
stop the meaningless iangle OF words
that nine out Of ten have more sound
than sense.

well of Beefl's chances against Jen-. kins last spring that he backed the Wisconsin man for more than $f,00O. He took his loss philosophically and with the belief that Jenkins had only outgeneraled and not outwrestled the westerner.
 Tn many-ways Beell is the most re- markable wrestler who ever had heavy weight championship ambitions. A year ago he knew little of the. game. but under the tutelage of Parker, one of the cleverest opponents of the mat game, he has made rapid strides. Beell is surely the coming champion of America. Lack of weight is his only shortcoming.
 At first glance his measurements seem to bar him from competition with heavyweights, but his tussle with Jen- kins last spring disproves that. Beell is not very tall, but is we'll muscled where wrestler needs muscle, is game and improving in knowledge, of his profession every day.
 Parker and Beell will agree to any reasonable terms. but will insist that the bout take place in twenty-four

gently indicate that Greater New York will assume for the first time in bowl ing history its rightful prominence in the affairs of the national congress and tournament. This was brought about by the adoption by New York of reso- lution to join the congress before the national tournament at meeting held recently. The action means that New York will send a thoroughly represent alive number of teams to Kentucky to compete in the coming sixth national tournament.
 But one proviso has been made by the New Workers, and that is that an effort shall he made by their delegates to the Louisville congress to secure ruling in which New York shall be given su- preme jurisdiction over its own internal affairs. and. while they ask for some what more powers than those enjoyed by the present city associations which are members of the national body. yet the differences are small. and way will probably be- found to meet taeir wishes
 New Workers have been the disturb ing factor in the national congress since 1901. snd while they have had many arguments on their side in ia. vor of their position. yet their latest action Is ono that rebounds not alone to their own credit. hut is s testimo- niaI to the efforts of the western men who have labored for years to span the breach between the factions.

JACK JOHNSON CLEVER.

New York. Jan 11.-Jack Johnson, the negro heavyweight from Texas. gave very clever exhibition of box ing with Joe Jeannette at the Sharkey Athletic club last night.
 Johnson is the champion of the big negro fighters. and he deserves the title.
 Johnson's tactics were something new to the three-round enthusiasts. He is as quick as lightning and never makes an unpremeditated move, His methods are directly opposite to those of Jeanette. = The latter was too eager, wearing himself out by jumping and rushing to no advantage, while Johnson would stand as still as a statue. letting his man come to him and then planting his blows where they were most effective.
 The Texas fighter has an awful short upper-cut which last night he seemed to place exactly where he liked. He plainly had no intention of doing much damage to Jeannette. for that dusky person left opening after open ing in which the heavier man could have planted telling blows.

Cleveland, Jan 1I.-Arrangcmcnts for fight between Philadelphia Jack O'Brien. who is at the Empire thealel here this week. and Tommy Ryan. for the middleweight championship of the world were practically concluded yes tcrday. O'Brien says he will defend both the heavyweight and the middle weight titles.
 Ryan has been after a fight with OBrien ever since the Philadelphian defeated Fitzsimmons. In response to Il telegram received yesterday morn- ing O'Brien wired that he would fight him immediately after the close of his present theatrical tour whirh will last ten weeks. O'Brien says he can train down 10 the middleweight mark with out trouble. O'Brien last night an- nOunced his future plans as follows.
 "There is now some. dispute about the middleweight title, and in my Opin- ion it is only right that l should have this cleared up as soon as possible. Ryan is quite anxious to meet me. and l will give him his opportunity. There has been some talk of my meeting Gus Ruhlin, and this battle may yet he ar ranged If l fight in the east first am sure to meet Ruhlin. but I must see that s2.5OO forfeit first. From the way things look now 1t is practically assured that I will take on Ryan first in April"
 With Ryan out of the way and tho middlewelght muidle cleared. O'Bricn will then lay lines to dispcrsc the chat. ter about Marvin Hart's heavyweight claim. The Kentuckian will bc taken on after Ryan's doom has been con- pleted. and these two battles will in all likelihood be 0'Brien's work for l906
