Mr.. LOCKE THINKS
EFFECT OF PRIZE
FIGHT IS VERY BAD

For what? For the love of the art?
No, for the money there was in it; to
forward and promote the opportunity
for gambling. This must now be plain
to the thinking world. The result
must be general condemnation of the
whole game-of the so-called art as
now practiced. 1t must plainly appear
that it is but a relic of barbarism, re-
tanned and fostered by the gambling
fraternity because 1t affords an op-
portunity for gambling
.Fist-fighting lost its station as an
especially desirable or favored art
when civilized man invented gunpowd-
er. Fist-fighting represents brute
force. The invention of gunpowder.
1t has been well said, put nerve on an
equality with brute force. Civilized
man has no admiration for brute
force IN mad. We admire nerve. It
was good workmanship. backed by
Splendid nerve. that sunk the Spanish
fleet at Santiago. Nerve is what tells
In every battle of life. The little man
with nerve, can successfully defend
himself against the brutal giant Of
today.
$50 let this brutal game, which has
been degraded into gambling scheme
go out OF business. 1t will go out of
business in SO far as the Jurisdiction
of this office extends.
Let the world take notice of what
promotes this game. and be no longer
deceived by the talk OF admiration for
the manly art Remember that If one
of those big citizens who fought at
Reno should offer a serious insult to.
or otherwise trespass upon the rights
OF civilized gentleman. no matter
how small in stature he night be, the
size of the big fellow would not pro-
tect him: the little man with nerve is
his equal nowadays"

FIGHT ON To RESTORE MILLION
DOLLARS TO PUBLIC SCHOOL FUND

endowment for all the school districts
of the state.
As authorized by the statutes OF
the state. the state treasurer in 1857
SO with cash accrued from the sale
OF school lands, purchased state paper
to the amount OF s455.54s-s7. These
warrants which have been drawing
interest more than 20 years at the
rate OF 66 per cent per annum, now
amounts to more than s1,ooG.o00.
Almost every kind of a warrant was
purchased. warrants for salaries OF
state officials. buildings for peniten-
tiaries. insane asylums. soldiers and
sailors homes, etc. In plain facts
these warrants represent the operat-
ing expenses of the state for parts
of three years, and are still unpaid.
The warrants were not paid be-
cause the money raised by taxation
which has been appropriated by the
legislature for the payment OF these
warrants. was used in the payment
OF warrants OF previous years
This was not a new departure. but
was in accordance with a practice
prevailing in numerical order At
the time these warrants were issued
the state was in arrears for several
years on running expenses.

ing an inquiry from the governor,

From saturdays Daily.

The Colorado State Teachers asso-
citation is actively engaged in CAM
paign which may result in the res
toration of one million dollars 10
the public school fund of the state.
The association proposes to do this
through the Cove amendment to the
constitution at the next general
election, to be held in November. As
a means to this end, the state is be-
ing flooded with letters advocating
the adoption OF this amendment. and
giving the genesis of the long-neg-
iected debt OF the state to the school
fund. and some revelations as TO the
nature OF II.
This great heritage to the children
Of the state of Colorado, according to
the letter, was unwittingly lost to
them by an unexpected and startling
decision OF the supreme court
The origin OF the debt dates back
to the admission of the state to the
Union. At that time two sections Of
land In every township of the public
domain within the states borders
was set aside by the United States as
public school endowment
Under the constitution OF Colorado
accepting this gift the principal OF
this endowment could never be I'M
paired. but the annual income was
to be distributed each year to ali
school districts OF the state In pro-
portion TO the school population and
was thus made available every year
for actual Immediate use.

Fined for Disturbing the Peace.

The following will clearly Illus
,rate that If you make noise some
body will hear 1t and you will get
what Is coming to you.
A little more than two years ago
2 small bunch Of wise guys got TO-
qether one evening and made plans
for creating disturbance the effect
nj which was to be felt all over the
county and the city Of Grants Pass.
This bunch consisted Of prominent
citizens and to a man they were
busybodles-they had the audacity to
do something for the benefit OF
every citizen in the county and never
% much as presented a bill for their
services.
Not content with their own efforts,
they banded together with them
selves over one hundred patriotic and
public spirited citizens who volun-
teered to dig up about $4,000. With
this small amount of money they in
creased the taxable wealth Of the en-
tire county at least fifty-fold every
property owner in less than two
wears found himself enriched; 1907
600 people in the east were informed
that Grants Pass was on the map.
They knew It because the bunch pre-
sented them with a beautiful illus
trated booklet containing Ga pages,
free and every month told them an
up-to-date story of the rapid growth
and development Of Josephine coun-
ty, the beauties Of its climate, its
grand and picturesque scenery, the
excellent fishing and hunting, also
the productiveness of the soil, and
the fields OF alfalfa, grape vineyards
and orchards, gold and copper mines
and millions Of timber.
This remarkable hullabaloo result
ed in attracting hundreds Of first
rate eastern people, who have settled
in the county and are now assisting
'o the general development and well
fare Of the community.
It seems unwise that the efforts
OF the bunch In the past should be
allowed to vegetate for want of in
terest in their good work on the part
of those who have received the bene-
fits from their labors, therefore, an
appeal is made to the property own
ers all over the county to get to-
gether in the various districts and
pledge themselves to contribute to
a common fund for the purpose of
continuing the good work.
1t takes money to advertise; but
1t must be done There can be no
