 San Francisco, Aug. 24.-stanley Retchel who arrived yesterday from Point Arena and three pounds 8 day ever since he left San Francisco, takes issue with Jack Johnston on the question of his coming battle.
 When he heard that Johnson disapproved of his match with Langford in New York fearing that he might be beaten and thus spoil the Ketchel-Johnson contest, Stanley merely laughed.
 "The only way I can account for such a statement from Johnson" he said. 'Is that he wants to save one of his race from . grand trimming. Johnson knows that can lick Langford and do 1t in jig time, too. He also knows that there is no dan ger of the Portola match being injured by my trip to New York. If Jack thinks he can put the fear of the race in my heart by talking about Langford, he is mistaken. The match at the Fairmoht Club will prop- ably be pulled off on September Is. after which l will scurry right back here and get ready for Johnson. He has good who gives 1t to him"

MINISTER AND PUeILIsT.

A preacher at Paterson, n. J., COM
posed and delivered a strong sermon
the other day on the topic-it hardly
can be called a text: Can Jeffries
Come Back?" And it was the opinion
of the dominic that the answer must be
mo"
Well, maybe he can't. Maybe when he
meets johnson, Jeffries will find himself
handicapped by the fact that he has
burned up too much of his vitality in
the years that followed his voluntary
retirement from the prize ring. 1t will
be a thing to be expected.
But in everything excepting the su-
preme trial of a prizehght a man may
come back. The blessed thing about
manhood is that it is never really con
cluded until death. Bad habits may hur
one. They certainly will. But the man
who gets away from them, devotes
himself to hard physical work, lives
temperately and nationally, will as
rule come back, even after he has
reached an age more mature than that
of Jehries.
And even in the matter of a battle.
there is nothing in the Jeffries case
which precludes the hope that he can
be as good as he ever was.
But even that is not certain to be
good enough.

LIFE is TOO SHORT.

Maybe there are people who have
time enough to read Mr. William
James new book, which seems to have
been designed as an attempt to answer
old Pilates question: What is truth p"
But the average man viii have time
only for a few pages. After that, the
book viii go into the library because it
is handsomely bound: and a few weeks
later it will be slipped over to the va
cant space back of the rows, to make
room for something more needed By
humanity.
Here is a passage from the James ef-
fort at the information of the world:
Radical empericism consists. first, OF
a pOstulate, next of a statement of fact
and finally Of a geneTaHzed conclusion.
The pOstulate is that the only thing
that shall be debatable among philOso-
piers shall be definable in terms drawn
from experience.
The statement of fact is that the re-
latiOns between things, conductive as
well as distinctive, are just as much
matters Of direct particular experience
neither more so nor less, than the
things themselves.
All Of which is probably true. But
who cares whether it is or not? Where
does it get one? What shall it profit
man if he understands all that and loses
half an hour?
There are good and necessary things
in the vagaries Of the transcendetalists
But life is far too short to follow Mr.
James to his conclusion.

But really, there is not much in 2

WHAT THE MAYOR THINKS,

(F'rOm the Denver News, Dec. 10, 1909 }
In a recent issue Of the News you pub
lished an argument for prohibition, in
which the contributor quoted freely from
an article from William Jennings Bryan.
Mayor Snyder Of Springfield O., a sue
Cessful politician as we'll as business man,
has recently prepared a letter which is
being sent to numel Gus inquirers as to
whether or not Springfield has been bene-
fitted by prohibition. Coming from one
who has had the actual experience, it
should prove Of interest. Mayor snyder's
letter follows;
your inquiry Of recent date is at hand
asking for my views on prohibition here
as under the Rose law, and in reply would
say that this city and county voted out
about 100 saloons and by the same vote
have in reality voted in 800 in their stead,
so 1 can frankly say to you that prohi-
bition does not prohibit, neither does il
prevent or lessen crime; rather the in
crease is true here, as our police court
now has more DRINKS than before; Gun
Jail has about the usual number of men
in it, and our grand jury has about closeu
its work with about the usual numb,l
Of liquor cases, with about that proper
ton pending. Cur rate of taxation has
been increased 70 the limit at one stride,
due to the loss of revenue of the Liquor
tax, while our merchants are clamorins
tor the business lost by reason Of the
closed town.
I'VE were told that there would be no
more divorce cases, no more homeless
children, and no more men refusing to
support their families, if the open saloon
were not here, but the same old faces
and a corresponding number of new ones
still appear IN all Of the departments Oh
justice. / really think that the only So
luton of this social evil is a high license
something like the law now in Pennsyl-
vania, where a man must give a heavy
bond for his behavior while in the bust
ness which, if once lost, he can never re-
turn TO it again; ne must also satisfy the
couyt as to his personal character before
he can enter, ana where a single violation
of the liquor law or any other will seuu
MIN from the business, either directly on
indirectly. for all time.
Il have endeavored to give you the ex-
act situation as seen by me after some
SIX months or so-called prohibition in this
city, with a population of about 10000"
Thanking you for your fairness in pub
fishing both sides of the question.

GOOD CHEER, MARK TWAIN!

How the heart of the nation goes out
in sincere sympathy to old Mark Twain
in this the hour OF his afflictioni How
swiftly would the feet of his myriad
friends run to his service, if the running
could bring him relief,
He has made the whole word a pleas
anter place than it would have been
without him. He is the father of more
laughs than there are sands on the
shores of the sea. He has given JOY in
every moment of the day, in every day
Of the year-and in all the years of the
past half century.
And yet his days are closing in cloud.
There have been business reverses. and
published stories that wounded him.
one by one his intimate friends have
died. And at the last, when one daugh-
ter marries and leaves him, the other
the last remaining Of his children-is
found drowned. And the heart of the
old man is broken.
He says he is old, and doesn't want to
work any more. His interest in life has
passed. How good it would be if the
world he had delighted could tell him
that his labor has been blessed-and tell
him that before he goesi

NO TIME TO INVESTIGATE.

1t is to be hoped Congress will make
no move to investigate the sugar
frauds, at least until the present &C
tivity Of the treasury department shall
have had opportunity to make good.
There is no desire on the part of any
friend Of good government to make the
path Of the iawless a pleasant one. And
there is no objection to Congress find
ing out all possible about any infrac-
ton of law. But the treasury depart
ment has proceeded so successfully; ii
has made such definite triumphs in de
tecting violations Of the law; it has re-
covered so much of cash that is right
fully the due. Of government, that not
even an investigation by Congress
should be permitted to interfere-at
least for the present.
Investigations are all right. But the
present method seems certain Of result
ing in the turning on of an abundance
of light.

AND THE DANES ARE SORRY.

One is almost moved to pity by the
reimbursement of those savants at CO.
penhagen-the men Of science who ac-
cepted DR.. Cook at his own valuation
before they had made examination OF
his records. They "are sorry" they be
Ieved him. and placed their endorse
ment upon him.
And that is to be expected. But they
escape the severest humiliation. They
were honest about it. They believed
what the man said. and nothing but the
most rank rascality could have permit
ted him TO so deceive them.
They were honest, and he was not.
And they escape with no more criticism
than that they were credulous instead
OF being critical They welcomed a man
who claimed to have first reached the
top of the world. All the sentiment of
the age comes to make excuse for them.
But the man who deceived them, the
man who lied to the world, the man
who claimed honors to which he was
not entitled-he is the loser. His late
friends declare he has secured close to
a hundred thousand dollars in the brief
time between his return TO America and
the publication of the adverse decision
from Denmark.
1t doesn't pay him. Il it were a thou

Cook is a lost man 10 the end of his

sheraton of mankind,
