Oklahoma City, Okla. June 22.-Bat-
Ting Nelson knocked out Jack Clifford,
his former sparring partner, in the
fifth round of what was to have been
a 20 round affair last night. 1t was
the Inauguration of really important
louis, but for time it seemed as if
the contest would not take place.
The circuit attorney had announced
that he did not consider the match one
that was fair to the public, as Nelson
lad not only defeated Clifford before
but had repeatedly appeared with him
in sparring exhibitions. He asked the
promoters to put on some other CD
ponent for the battler.
The matter was adjusted in some
fashion, however, although the pro.
moters had spent considerable money
wiring about the country trying to find
|other opponents for Nelson before the
match was put on. A fair crowd turned
out for the go.
There was little to the bout. Nelson
rushed in, following his usual style.

Democrats and Protection.


The visit Of Gov. Johnson to the east
and the opinion he expressed In regard
to the tariff situation in Washington has
given rise TO much speculation in regard
to future politics. Leading democrats all
over the country are amazed over the at !.
titude OF those southern senators and
members Of Congress who appear to have
cast their lot with the high-tarin repub-
icans. led by Mr.. Aldricf1.'
Why amazed? There is nothing new In
democratic support of protection. South
ern industries, at the south's request,
have always been remembered in the re-
visions of the tariff. Even the German
Wilson bill. a measure prepared and
passed by democrats. with the south
supplying the bulk of the votes, was full
of protection. the south sharing literally
in the fayore,
But, we are told. southern protection
democrats must now look out.
Gov. Johnson does not believe that
they can carry their constituents with
them. He knows, as many others know,
democratic doctrine on the tariff is a
new power In tariff legislation. 1t is no
secret here that several months ago the
high h-tarih advocates concluded that they
could not depend upon the republican rep
resentatives in Congress from the middle
west to aid them in defying the policy
down in the republican platform. In their
dilemma they turned to the south. en-

"The effect OF this new power in tariff
making has already been felt In Wash

have been made by democrats. and where

The Marine Band Concerts.

1t is to be regretted that the program
of Marine Band concerts in the public
parks just announced for this season
does not include the Saturday afternoon

have become institutional and have been
a source of great pleasure to multitudes
of people for more than half a century.
BY the terms Of the executive order
just issued there will be three Marine
Band concerts weekly. instead of two.
as heretofore, not counting the program
rendered at the marine barracks each
week. This arrangement preserves the
Wednesday afternoon concert at the Cap
itol, which some feared might be dis
placed by the midweek concert on the
drive.
The arrangement just announced. of
two concerts on the drive and one at
the Capitol, will. not afford a maximum
of benefit and pleasure to the people
who are not provided with vehicles. It is
inconceivable that car line will ever
be run into the park, and thus II the
drive concerts are to remain as under
the now announced plan they will appeal
to and attract chiefly those who are
equipped with means OF transportation.
A more equitable distribution of con-
certs would be TO have the additional
performance on Tuesday on the drive,
leaving the Wednesday and Saturday ar
rangements as heretofore. 1t is to he
hoped that upon the Presidents return
to Washington some such modification OF
the order may be made in the interest
OF the local public, which has been SO
long accustomed to the White House

n. II. Rogers.
From the New York Herald.

From the New 1Ork heTaH.
1t was a typically American career that
ended with the death yesterday Of Mr..
Henry Huddleston Rogers. vice president
of the Standard Oil Company and active
force in a score of other corporations.
Economists and historians of the future
will dwell with wonder upon the gigantic
industrial development Of the era in which
Mr. Rogers lived and played conspic-
nous part-upon the good as well as the
evil results of the corporate combinations
he helped to bring about. Nothing in Mr..
Rogers life was more typically American
than his incessant devotion to hard work.
While still a young man he had amassed
more millions than would suffice to richly
provide for his family and for the gifts
made to his native town and permit his
enjoyment of princely leisure. But he
continued to work harder than any clerk
in his employment, and though warned
two years ago by stroke o. apoplexy he
continued his strenuous life. Busted al
his Office until late Tuesday afternoon,
he was about rising at half-past six yes
terday morning when seized with the
second and fatal stroke.
The moral Is obvious.
Evening star., 1909-05-20

democrats who have turned turtle on the
tariff question do not represent the party
at the south. and that there will be day
of reckoning. when they Will be put out
Of democratic politics In that section.
Let US see. Is Mr.. Bacon OF Georgia
likely to "be put out of democratic poll
ties because of making game of and re-
fusing to be bound by the Denver plat
form? Shall we behold McEnery and
Foster displaced in Louisiana because OF
their support Of protection for sugar? Is
Mr. Tilman in peril because of advocat-
ing building up the tea industry In south
Carolina by the policy which has built up
the manufacturing industries of New Eng
land? Is Mr.. Simmons of North Carolina
on the black list because of insisting on
the retention of the lumber duty? And
how about that score Of democratic sena-
tors who voted for continued protection
for iron ore?
All assertions to the contrary. these
men do represent their constituents in
the course they are pursuing. The south
wants protection for her industries, and
is grdtwing in the spirit of accommodation
on the subject of the tariff. She applies
the pious old couplet in this wise:
THE duties to others vote,
Those duties vote to me.
It is because Of this fact that the south
ern men, both in the House and In the
Senate, are so open in their votes and
deliverances at this time. They know
their people. and feel assured of home
support. Not a man of them will lose his
seat because Of his wrestle for share Of
what is now being distributed. On the
contrary, the larger the share he secures
the stronger he will become at honnes and
the longer will his days be In the office
which his people have given him.
II Gov Johnson and his eastern friends
are correctly quoted In this matter they
would do well to enter night schools. II
all their daylight is parceled out, and
acquaint themselves with the history Of
the section inward which they are looking
with longing eyes.
