Now that the supremacy
between Nelson and Britt has
been decided, the question is
as to whether Britt VIII meet
Cans, and If not, he drawing
the color line, as some claim
he will do, who is to come to
the front to uphold the light
weight claim.
1t is apparent, and no con-
trary reports can be stood
for, that Britt cannot hide
under the shade of the color
line, from the fact that he
once fought Cans, and in or

must meet him.
And that fight we want for

Terry McGovern is to return from

Three months of rest and care have

he will never fight again, and he says
it with a sigh. He still bankers af-

name for himself. He has downed
his old enemy, booze, and is firm

The outcome of the late fight be-

Thompson, giving the honors to Sui
Ivan, has not met with the approx

many hard things are said as to the
referees decision. The honors of
the battle were so nearly even that
it is hard to see just where, and why
the referee took his action, and 1t
Is the opinion of all who saw the
scrap that the fight should have been
declared draw. There is no doubt
however, but that the men will come
together again, when the supremacy
will be settled for all time.

league club has decided to draft

ANIMALS NEVER COMMIT SUICIDE

Il do not believe that animals ever
commit suicide. I do not believe that
they have any notions Of death, or take
any note Of time, or ever put up any
blum game, or ever deliberate together.
or form plans or forecast the seasons.
They may practice deception, as
when a bird feigns lameness or paraly-
sis 10 decoy you away from her nest,
but this, Of course, IS instructive and
not conscious deception.
There IS at times something that sug-
gests cooperation among them, as when
wolves hunt in relays, as they are said
to 90. or when they hunt in couples,
one engaging the quarry in front while
the other assaults IL from the rear; or
when quail TOOst upon the ground IN a
ring. their tails 10 the center. their heads
outward: or, as when cattle or horses
form a circle when attacked In the
open by wild beasts. the cattle with
their head outward and the horses with
their heels.
of course. all this is instructive and
not the result of deliberatiOn. The horse
always turns his tail to the storm as
we'll. and COWS and steers, If I remem-
Der rightly, turn their heads. John

The Colonial PremierS.

be called Japophobia. They have
Just the same scare that has afflicted
some folks in the United States.
They are fully convinced that the
Japanese II get 'em if they don't
watch out, just as our American
alarmists are confident that the
militant empire of the rising sun
has fully developed intentions of
grabbing the Philippines.
The truth is that the Japanese
government has a different ambi-
ton. It hopes for leadership and
domination and commercial power
among the people of Asia-the peo-
pie of MongoI origin. It does not
seek excuse for disagreement with
the Caucasian race. and will not
have such clash unless it is forced,
as by Russia The Australian
alarmists overestimate their own
Importance in the plans of Japan.
Why bother with the exploitation
of five millions Of people who could
only be exploited after a great war,
when there arc five hundred millions
at the back door of Japan waiting
for leadership and direction?
That is the view which Japan
takes of its opportunity in the East,
and it is the explanation of why
Japan is not going to rush into any
attempts to conquer the colonies of
the United States and Britain.

All Work and No PLAY.

\ distinguished Englshman was

worker. He scarcely allows him
self three months rest in the year, -

Now comes american Medicine"

torial which goes far to sustain

result is a conclusion that work too
hard to do or done too long is not
only dangerous to the operative but

The Rebuke OF Nature.

Generation after generation, cen
fury after century, men build their
homes and live their lives in the
shadow of possible destruction,
blithely, thoughtlessly taking the
chances that have brought disaster
to others before them. Vesuvius'
slopes and base are populated just as
they were before Herculaneum and
Pompeii were founded. There is the
occasional terror, people fee, and
then they return. Mont Pelee was
known TO be one of the most dan
gerous volcanoes in the world for
generations, yet the fslet it domi-
mated was thickly inhabited till the
disaster of a day made it a desert.
Under the shelter of COlima has ex-
listed the city of that name for so
long that there is no history Of it's
beginnings.
Galveston, stricken by a power
that may manifest itself again in
any year, has been rebuilt in the
same location. The enginery of man
has undertaken this time to fortify
il against the forces Of nature, and
its people are confident it is safe.
All over the United States great
cities, threatened year by year with
tremendous flood devastation, have
grown richer and more important
with the possibility Of such vista
tons always hanging over them. It
is so throughout the world. Man
seems rather to like TO tempt the
forces he cannot control.
It is doubtful whether there has
been in the last few years any real
increase in volcanic and earthquake
phenomena, as compared to former
years. There has been, however, a
marvellous proportion of destruction
incident to these phenomena. Ma
ture seems almost to have set her
self about rebudng the presumptu-
ousness of man for disregarding her
warnings and placing himself where
he is liable to destruction. If this
has been her aim, it must be con
coded that she has reached the
mark.
Of volcanic and earthquake phe-
nomena science knows pitifully lit
tie. General classifcations have
been made with what seems to be
approximation to accuracy; but the
total of information is small, and its
availability for purpose of prognos-
ticating or safeguarding against dis
asterS is still less.

GOurdain'S Opportunity.

The golden opportunity for Louis
\. Gourdain. the former banker Of
Chicago, the gentleman who was
convicted of lottery irregularities,
has now arrived. Yet, strange TO
say, he is not present to take adj
vantage of it. 1t may be remem-
bered by those who are careful in
preserving reports of such matters
that Gourdain was sentenced in 1906
in the United States District Court
to four and one-half years in prison
for his misdemeanors. He appealed
and was released on bail.
Then the glorious part came in his
insisting upon going to Jail and
serving his sentence. With increas-
ing vociferatiOns he demanded to be
allowed 20 get into prison. He even
threatened 10 break into the estab-
lishment. But still the officials re-
fused 10 take him as a boarder while
he was out on bail. He thereupon
startled the world by announcing
that he had drawn plans for a
$40, 600 jail of his own. which he was
about TO build. and in which he
would serve his sentence. in stern
defiance of all the mandates of the
law.
There were tears of sympathy for
this man, who seemed to be perse-
cuted in not being permitted to en-
Joy prison life, and his case was
noted by social sharps and deep
thinkers all over the land. Soon,
however, the matter became lost in
the annals Of other events, and
Gourdain was heard Of but little
more. Now it is found that he has
departed for regions unknown. and
the court in vain orders his bonds
men to produce him.
We fear that Gourdain was not
sincere in his longings for the Jail
Otherwise he would appear now and
serve his real sentence, instead of
causing the men who went bail for
him 10 lose faith in human nature.
If GOurdain ever sees this, we be-
seech him to return and embrace his
glorious opportunity.

The Twilight of Zion.

News comes from Zion City, that
wonderful creation of old John
Alexander Dowie, to the effect that
the place is rapidly going 10 pieces,
and that the erstwhile faithful dis
ciples of the modern Elijah" are
fleeing from the wrath to come.
This was predicted even before the
days of John Alexander's death.
Now that it is coming TO pass even
more rapidly than was expected, the
efforts of Voliva seem more puny
and impotent than ever. Voliva, it
Is understood, has given the Nonites
until the first of May to say under
which standard they Will serve, but
from all appearances he viii have
but a motley corporaIs guard when
the day of reckoning arrives.
John Alexander Dowie was re-
markable for d tremendous person
atty and a vigor of authority that
knew no rebellion 50 long as his
physical strength remained to him.
Noliva is bur an imitation. Dowie
ruled by the forces of a magnetic
viii. Voliva simply busters, mis-
taking noise for power.
At any time in the worlds his
tory a considerable portion Of the
credulous can be gathered together
under the rule of a man like Dowie,
but generally he has no successor.
When the puny Noliva sees his
forces scattered and their once pros
porous settlement given over to its
creditors, he viii realize the i'm
practicability of the jackass at
tempting permanently to wear the
skin of the Eon.

Playing the Game.

The latest sensational political
move by the President is his an
nouncement, in effect, that he is for
Governor Hughes and Governor
Hughes policies, and that so far as
it may be necessary to strengthen
the Empire State executive, patron
age in that State viii be at his dis
posal.
There is the usual wonderment at
the bOldness and audacitv with
which the President has taken hold
of the New York situation. Yet it
ought not to surprise people who
understand the Presidents system
of politics. He has never been much
of manipulation in the ordinary
sense. He does things in the day
light. confident that the end iusti-
fies the means, and, what is perhaps
more important, that the people will
be willing to accept his jesuitical
doctrine. They have learned to accept
it, too, when it is promulgated by
the President. His hold on public
confidence is such that he can do
things which other men would not
dare To do. and which, considered as
distractions. ought not toNbe done
The patronage problem is one
that men will never be able to agree
upon. If the President is to be bur
dened with the responsibility of fill
ing a vast number of offices, it is
unavoidable that he shall use those
offices more or less for political
purposes He is forced 10 make enc
mics every time he makes an ap-
pointment. because he must disap-
point more people than he can
please. The disappointed ones are
certain TO be of the opinion that the
appointive power is in unworthy
hands. If those appointed did not
do something to equanze conditions,

rors at that time, that as a matter
of economy the clerks were forbid
den to work after a certain hodr,
saw about 3 o'clock. In France the
same law of sequence was brought
to light. The number of misjudg-
ments was az a minimum in the
early morning hours, rose slowly
until noon, took sudden drop after
the midday rest, and then rose to a
much higher point at the end of
the afternoon than it was at the
end of the mornings work.
Americans viii not soon adopt
the European view. Three months
rest will continue TO be beyond all
excepting our independents. The
rest Of us viii continue to work
fifty weeks in the year and be
thankful for a fortnight's recrea-
ton. But we can and should better
our daily working schedules. As
american Medicine" says, "Fatigued
men are too expensive to hire at
any price"
Men who control their own hours
should SO regulate their days as to
have an hours play in daylight nine
months in the year. They can cover
their rush periods in the remaining
quarter-and they will be better
able to rush for their daily play dur
ing the remainder of the year. En-
ployers can obtain the same higher
efficiency from their men by work
ing toward the same result. The
Saturday half-holiday and summer
o'clock closing are entirely feas-
ible means TO that end.
Most important of all, however,
both classes can make sure of their
two weeks change of scene in the
summer. For the whole directory
of enterprising American employers
could be searched without finding a
single impressive exception TO the
rule that fifty weeks work is in the
end worth more in dollars and cents
than work the year around.

ANARCHY RULE

BALKS PEACE
Salvador Refuses to " It'll

Agreement.

Peace negotiations between Nicaragua
ana Salvador have come to a standstill-
salvador has refused to carry out her
part Of the agreement, after having
signed It. and Nicaragua mas appealed
10 the state Department 70 whip the
little country into lire. This is due to-
conditions Of anarchy that have deveI-
oped in Honduras.
Senor CoTea, the Nicaraguan minis
ter, called at the State Department yes
/ terday afternoon with advices confirms
ing cablegram received earlier in the
day from Philip Brown, the secretary
and charge d'afTaires Of the American
legation to Guatemala and Honduras
who has been IN touch with the confer
ence held on the island of AmapaIo.
II appears from these dispatches that
on Thursday night the foreign ministers
OF the two countries reached a tentattvs-
peace agreement, promptly signed the
document and forwarded IL 10 their re-
spective Presidents for approval. No
sooner had IL been put in The hands OF
President Figuera, of Salvador, than re-
ports reached his ears that conditions
bordering on anarchy had developed in
Honduras as a result OF n split on the
new provisional government which was
established by revolutionary leaders at
the instance Of President Zelaya. Of
Nicaragua.
Mr.. Brown informed the department
that the political situation IN Honduras
was critical, in view Of the fact that
only part Of the people recognized the
new order OF things. For this reason.
the government Of Salvador, after hav-
ing signed the agreement, one paragraph
OF which provided for recognition Of the
new government Of Honduras. decided
not to recognize Il and not 70 withdraw
her troops from the borders, fearing a
possible revolutionary movement against
herself among the armed men Of the
neighbOrhOod.
President Zelaya has informed Presf-
dent Figuera that he is taking as many
chances as the latter and the same argu-
ment could well apply 10 him, but in
asmUch as he has signed the agreement,
he means TO stand by il and carry out
his part in Withdrawing the troops Of
Nicara gua.

mats in this city who have been work

TO say:
II is the consensus of opinion among

under his influence that ethyl alcohol is
the basis of all whiskies. Together with
water. ethyl alcohol is the base Of all

court will sustain this ruling.
