New York, Jan. 25.-The monthly games
of the Mems Club, attached to ST. Bar

was not extensive, but the events were

It's awful foolish for a boxer who is in
the public eye and hopes to stay there to
send out anything like the above. Two
rights do not make wrong, and the
proposition may be reversed and stu hold

share, and the demand was fully as un-

Even if Cans, who was the drawing

out for four-fifths of the prize money, it
doesn't follow that Burns has a right to

the strain upon muscles, heart
and arteries, but the stress of will
and mentality. Worst of all is the
element of competition leading to
thousand abuses destructive alike
to body and morals. Wounding a
rival with the spike of a running
shoe or striking him with the fist

out of many of the acts which boys
ARE tempted by such athletics.

COMMON SENSE EXERCISE

Of the making of exercises there
is no end. One theorist tells us
that straight, rigid motions of the
arms, legs and body, done to COM
mand, will give us wonderful de-
velopment. He had not observed
that nowhere in nature can we find
straight-line movement. Every
motion in nature, from the stroke
of a gnat's wing to the sweep of
Neptune round Old Sol, is made
in curves. So Ling is wrong, be-
cause he is not true to law.
Another man tells us to exer-
else with heavy dumb bells and
other cumbersome and complex
apparatus. The result is an ugly,
unsymmetrical muscular system, a
hypertrophied heart ("athletic
heart" We call it in medicine) and
a vitality so depleted that the
trained athlete is bad risk" from
a life insurance standpoint. Sta
tistics show that he is not like
ly to reach old age.

athletics. Here we have not only

BOARD SHORT
OF INSPECTORS

The health department, by the
resignation of Thomas Cavanaugh,
is left with only three inspectors
when it is allowed five. Probably
no more will be added until the
new appropriations are made. The
department last Tuesday asked
the council for an additional APP
preparation of $4,000 to run it to
the end of the year. The council
did not take favorable action In
spector Reardan as utility man,
Inspector Heath as quarantine and
fumigator, and Inspector Reinwald
who looks after milk wagons and
diaries, are all the inspectors left.
Health Officer Grieve says that at
least one other inspector should be
put on during this hot weather
Inspector Myers, who was with
the department, has been assign
ed to the crematory department in
place of Cavanaugh.

FOR JUDGEMENT of LABOR
Special Correspondence to The Press

Special Correspondence Co The Press
WASHINGTON, D. c., July 81
Both parties have spoken
choose between them," is the cam
paign slogan sounded by Pres.
Gompers of the American Fedora
tion of Labor. He refers particu-
larly to the injunction planks of
the republican and democratic
platforms. There is a sharp pop.
ping of controversy over the mat.
ter among labor men in all parts
of the country. Appended are the
planks submitted by the two par.
ties for the judgment of labor:
DEMOCRATIC
The courts of justice are the
bulwark of our liberties, and we
yield to none in our purpose to
maintain their dignity. Our party
has given to the bench a long
list of distinguished judges, who
have added to the respect and
confidence in which this depart
ment must be jealousy main
tame. We resent the attempt of
the republican party to raise
false issues respecting the judi
ciary. 1t is an unjust reflection
upon a great body of our citizens
to assume that they lack respect
for the courts.
1t is the function of the courts
to interpret the laws which the
people create, and if the laws APP
pear to work economic, social or
political injustice, it is our duty
to change them. The only basis
upon which the integrity of our
courts can stand is that of answer
ing justice and protection of life.
If judicial processes may be abused
we should guard them against
abuse.
Experience has proved the ne
cessity of a modification of the
present law relating to injunctions,
and We reiterate the pledge of our
national platforms of 1896 and 1900
in favor Of a measure which pass
ed the United States senate in
1896, but which a republican con-
gress has ever since refused to en-
act. relating to contempts in fed.

that injunctions should not be is

tions would not issue if no indus

BAD BOAT BUSINESS

Liberty lake is thoroughly quail
fled as summer resort. A sign on
a boathouse there gives the scale
of rent by the hour for rowboats
Application develops the fact that
you can rent one only for the en-
tire day at 81 per, except after
~ o'clock, when you can get it
for the rest of the day at $3.50.
The rate is not SO bad as sum-
mer resort estimates usually run.
It's the difference between what is
openly advertised and what is ac-
tually to be had that makes the
operation suggestive of graft.

REPUBLICAN
The republican party will uphold
at all times the authority and in.
tegrity of the courts, state and fed
eral, and will ever insist that their
powers to enforce their processes,
to protect life, liberty and prop
erty shall be preserved inviolate.
We believe, however, that the
rules of procedure in the federal
courts with respect to the issuance
of writ of injunction should be
more accurately defined by statute,
and that no injunction or tenn
pOrary restraining orders should be
issued without notice. except
where irreparable injury would re-
suit from delay, in which case a
speedy hearing thereafter should
be granted.
