Johnny Dohen of New York met in one
of the main events at the National Ath-
letic Club tonight. They went six lively
POUNDS. with little to choose between them

appeared to affect his judgment of dis
lance and he was wild with his swings.
In the opening round Dohen was the
aggressor and reached Lowe with left
hooks to the face. Each time that Dohen
landed they went into a mix-up. with each
pouring In blows to his opponents body.
The second round opened with furious
body-punching duel. and they were at it
for fully half A minute before Referee
McGuigan could sgt them apart. Lowe
then stung Dohen with straight lefts to
the face and u right swing under the
heart. Each was wild with right swings
for the jaw and they again mixed it up
hard. each getting in numerous body
blows when the bell sent them to their
corners.
Dohen started the blood from loves
mouth at the start of the third round
with a left swing. Dohen then sent Lowe S
head back with straight lefts, and Tommy
got back with right swings under John
ny's heart and held his own in the mix
up. Lowe was wild with right swings in
the fourth and Dohen jabhed him hard in
the face. Near the end Lowe cut Dohen' s
lip with a left hook and reached Johnny $
body with wicked right hooks. Rohen did
most of the forcing in the fifth, but after
making Tommy hold on once became wild
and the Washington lad got back with
straight 1efts, drawing blood from john
ny's nose.
Dohen kept up his aggressive work in
the sixth and nearly every time beat Lowe
in the exchanges to the face. Tommy
once Jared Dohen with right swing to
the face, and they mixed it up in savage
style until the final bell.

There Is this important difference
between public and private indebted
ness: The individual may mortgage his
home or other property, and II the pur
pose for which the mortgage Is given
proves a failure the property may be
lost to him, and on his death his heirs
simply receive so much less than they
otherwise would. But the indebted
ness casts no burden upon them. 1t
may wipe out his entire property and
they receive nothing. To that extent
they may suffer, II failure to inherit
property can be called suffering.
But public indebtedness is OF n diff
ferent character. 1t does not wipe out
property now existing, but 1t casts n
burden upon the industries and toll of
those who come after us. Interest and
principal are met by taxes, and taxes
continue from age to age until the debt
Is paid They who come after us,
who may receive little or no benefit
from the debt, are called upon to con-
tribute the proceeds OF their labor to
its payment
In other words, while private In
debtedness does not mortgage or in
cumber future industry and labor, pub
lie Indebtedness does. And in piling
up public Indebtedness we too often
forget that the future will have Its
burdens; that there will be demands
upon 1t for expenditures. Improve
mcnts and conveniences corresponding
to the life OF that day will be needed.
So that there Is injustice in creating n
public Indebtedness for improvements
which will be mainly available In our
day and only to slight degree OF bene-
fit to those who come after u.s. Indeed.
generally speaking. 1t is fair to leave
each generation to determine what
amount Of public burdens 1t will as
sumo. and each should take care Of Its
own public Indebtedness. - Leslie's q
