NEEDS A SUITABLE REMEDY.

The Forum calls to the attention of
patrons of local theatres in that up
to-date and enlightened city, that a
particular theatre is deceiving its
customers and presenting flake" pic
lures of the Gans-Nelson fight, the
said pictures being not those of the
vital struggle between these two in
telIectual and physical giants, which
will go down with the other twelve or
fifteen decisive battles of history.
According to the authority of the
Forum-we presume it is the sport
ing editor, for no other department
would be so closely in touch with
the mat and the squared circles-the
pictures being palmed off are those
of a prior and unimportant battle,
while people are paying good mon
ey, albeit in small individual
amounts, to see the real battle in
which the Danish lion disposed of
the Ethiopian kangaroo, and forever
established the supremacy of the
Caucasion race.
So far as we are concerned, one
prize fight is pretty much the same
as another, and we are among those
unsophisticated and unskilled per-
sons who might be easily cheated by
the palming off of fake pictures. But
there is a moral side to this question
that becomes grave and that is the
right of a theatrical manager to de-
Jude his patrons into the belief that
they will see something he has not
on hand to show them. We have a
pure food law, designed to keep cop
peras and sulphates and borax out of
our stomachs unless we really want
1t there and eat it knowingly. We
have pure drug law, by which we
know when we are getting NOR
phine in our harmless" headache
powders. The satisfaction of the in
telleetual man is possibly not as i'm
portant as that of the physical, but
surely we have the right, if we pay
for Gans-Nelson, last-battle, decisive
struggle, blood-splashed and bruise-
decorated, to get what we are paying
for, and not the tame and unim-
portant maneuvers of lesser lights
in the world of pugilism The mat
ter is respectfully referred to the
conscience of the American people,
and if some remedy can be provided
for it, we shall indorse it with all
the Vigor at our command.

Involving an Actress, the Soda Water
Man and an Accident.
Josephine Cohan, the actress, or
dered chocolate sundae, or some sim
liar abomination, at drug store up
town the other day. When she sat
down to drink 1t, one of the long
feathers on her hat touched cigar
lighter. Naturally they blazed up. The
clerk being thoughtful young man,
wrested the glass of ice cream soda
away from Miss Cohan and poured it
on her hat, completely extinguishing
the flames. Miss chan, uttering I'M
studied EXPLANATIONS as the CONCEALED
sweetness trickled down the back of
her fair young neck, rose and did q
few rough steps. Then she started to
go away zone minute, MISS" said
the clerk. Haven't you forgotten
something's" =. ~.3 ,&%
Miss Cohan said yes, she had for
gotten lot of things. She had for
gotten the sense she was born with, for
one thing, going into a place where
they first set fire to her and then
emptied half portion of frozen gar
bage down her lingerie waist to sup
press the fire demon. You'd be a
star at Coney, young man." was her
decision. "I'm for you in the Fight
ing the Flames cast any day"
But the clerk said he wanted dime
for the soda. Miss Cohan peevishly in
Quired what soda he was talking
about. II have had no soda here"
said she. "You handed me one, and
then before / got the connection with
an arid palate established you tore it
away to dump on my new hat
But the clerk said he wanted dime,
just the same. Miss Cohan said she'd
pay dime for soda in that dump
the day following her commitment to
Matteawan. whenever you see me
breezing in here and demanding a plat
ter of your best fire extinguisher, blow
the whistle" said she. "I'm off for the
funny house." r w..
But the clerk said he wanted dime
for that soda. He said it in such a
nasty way that Miss Conan got real
mad. H. !
"My hat cost $50" said she, "and
you've ruined it. Give me $4,000
change and let me CO." And that's
the way the matter stands. r ~.
Miss Cohan walks blocks out of her
way now to make a false start through
the drug store door and then, as if
suddenly recollecting. turns away with
scream of terror. The clerk goes be-
hind the prescription counter and
makes faces in mirror.-New York

Bio Writers,

z London Tit-Bits has recently been
publishing some facts about the stature
of well known English authors In
one of its articles it says: "Of past
giants in literature. in two senses Of
the term, we have Thackeray, who was
six feet three inches in height. Com
ing to the present time, we have Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle who is six feet
two inches high, but doesn't look it on
account Of his stalwart build Then
there is Cutcliffe Hyne, who is six feet
three inches in height, while Hesketh
Prichard is even shade taller. Keble
Howard runs to six feet one and one
half inches in height, while his brother,
r. S., Warren Bell, who at once ends
and tops our list. Is close to six feet
five inches"

common sense is not the most charac-
teristic possession of the average
automobilist. Dare-deviltry, carless-
ness. disregard of precaution, anxiety
for speed records-these, unfortu-
nately, supersede common sense in
many instances. And as long as the
operation of automobiles is depend

and a sufficient intelligence to oper-
ate the several parts of the driving
mechanism, we shall have deaths,

A Small. but Welcome Act.

If people who travel on steam rail.
roads were as thoughtful as they
should be. instead of throwing their
newspapers down on the floor OF the
car after finishing with them they
would wait until they saw gang Of
section hands and then toss their pa
.pers to the workingmen." said Mr.. A.
r. Webb Of ST. Louis.
These men, even If humble wage
learners. are endowed with a desire to
know. what is doing in the world, and
It Is an act Of the greatest kindness to
help them to this source Of pleasure
and education. Some of our western
dailies have taken up this cause and are
printing short notices asking railway
passengers to give their newspapers
to the toilers along the road"

THE AUTOMOBILE AND IT'S VIC
3 z'c Les TINS. .a@..s H.'

The alarming frequency of auto
mobile accidents and the deaths and
serious injuries that are daily re-
counted in the press of the country
tend to convince us that a goodly
number of automobiles, at least,
have not the sanity, the caution and
the intelligence to be intrusted with
the operation of high-power machines
of the automobile kind on a public
roadway, where there are many nat
ura1 obstacles, and some persons who
must use the highways for drive
ways and for the ordinary purposes
of pedestrianism.
The operation of such vehicle
as the automobile requires number
OF qualities, among them intelli-
gence, frrnness and an appreciation
of the rights of other people and of
the fact that reckless driving is an
unnecessary and criminal hazard of
life.

can be driven to the limit of its speed
with safety. There are few automo-
biles that can muster a twenty or
thirty-mile-an-hour speed, and that is
faster than the average railroad
train. which runs on prepared
track, with q known and properly
safe-guarded right Of way.
We may pass laws regulating the
speed Of automibile drivers in certain
places and under certain conditions
but we cannot limit their speed when
out Of the city limits and away from
/ corporate regulations. And If speed
in these places does not XIII pedis

automobiles themselves.

JOHNSON IMPRESSED INTO SER.
VICE..


Notwithstanding the declaration
that he would not under any circum-
stances accept a denomination as
governor, Governor Johnson of Min
nesota has been bound and gagged
by his party convention and the un-
willing crown has been pressed firm
ly down upon his undesiring head.
Having had some experience with the
loaves and fishes and the flesh pots
in Minnesota, party reeking with
patriotism and desire for the well
fare of the masses is not prepared
to let a successful fisherman haul
his boat up on the shore and quit the
stream. Johnson is a serious mat
ter with the Democrats of Minnesota.
With him as a candidate, with the
prestige of his race for the .,re:Si-
dency-the term race is probably a
special courtesy, but still it was a
race-and with the knowledge of
Johnson that has been spread far and
wide through the northwest, the
Democrats feel that they have some
chance Of landing the governorship
again, and as long as they have the
governor, the Democratic party in
Minnesota is a reality and not neb-
ulous haze. So johnson has been
forced to accept the place, willing or
unwilling, and there are few men
who would know how to escape the
result, even were they so disposed
But Johnson probably sees things
differently from some other members
of his party. He realizes that it is
a presidential year, that the plea that
one good term deserves another can
not be urged in his behalf again and
that he is opposed by strong, virile
and popular candidate on the Re-
publican ticket. Mr.. Johnson is de-
sirous Of leaving politics at this time
without the handicap Of defeat,
should he reach out again after a
presidential nomination.

SIDE ISSUES IN ELECTORS.

The Prohibitionists and the indie
pendence party advocates are finding
some trouble to get their nominees
on the ballot, SO far as presidential
electors are concerned. Both parties
have presidential candidates, but in
this state there is not the supplement
tary local machinery by which elect
ors can be nominated. or have been
nominated at any rate. The princi-
pal interest of these candidates. lies
in the probable number of votes that
will be poIled, away from the Repub-
1ican and. Democratic tickets. Not
a great many, we believe, will be
polled in this state, for the reason
that the struggle is between the Re
publican and Democratic candidates,
and the average voter has enough
self-love in his makeup that he wants
to be recorded as participating in the
choice, rather than laying his vote
coldly down on the alter of a fixed
principle. But we see no reason why
some orderly method should not be
provided for the casting of ballots
by the Prohibitionists and the indie
.pendents for their electors, if they
have following sufficient to boast
a candidate for president. And yet
there must be some regulation of the
matter of nominations, and an adj
ministrative officer is bound to carry
out the law as it is written, irres-
pective of his personals beliefs or
inclinations. '.s
