HOLLAND OFF
FOR ROSSLAND

Fritz Holland, the local welter-
weight, leaves tomorrow morning
for Rossland, B. c., where he
fights Jack Walsh on February
II. The fight is to be a feature
of the winter carnival in the Brit
ish Columbia town and Holland is
confident that he will add another
victory to his string.
The local lad has been training
consistently for his match and
will enter the ring at $50 pounds.
Walsh, his opponent of amateur
days, will tip the scales at $50 or
1872, which means that the men
will be even on the weight propo-
SitiOn if nothing else.

A PARTY WARNING

when the party fails to be progressive
its usefulness begins to wane."
Theodore Roosevelts name was not
mentioned by the former Secretary of the
Interior. and neither President Taft nor
the Ohio gubernatorial situation was
touched uDOn in his speech.
Mr. Garfield told of the dangers Of the
standpatters' position and declared that
party loyalty does not mean blind ad-
heTence to old traditions.
I'VE cannot deceive ourselves with the
idea that the people will be satisfied with
the mere repetition of promises; they de-
mand and are entitled to action" he de-
clared.
The conservation movement was re-
ferred to as a moral cause and it was
applied in local issues as we'll as na-
tional ones. Mr.. Garfield declared the
government should control business. and
that the public had considered the re-
verse condition intolerable. The former
