n REPRESENTATIVES. of the Pres
X byterian church of America, as
~ sembled at Atlantic City the 9TH
er day, passed resolutions denouncing
the proposed boxing contest between
Messrs. Jeffries and Johnson to be held
in California on the Fourth OF July,
and calling upon their brethren In that
state and Governor Gillett to do their
utmost to prevent 1t. In letter to the
governor of California, the Presbyter-
ian brethren use some strong language,
including most of the adjectives COM
monty regarded as meaning dreadful
things, to express their. opinion about
the fight and the lighters They do
not, for a wonder, like most of the
uplifters of our time, call upon the
federal government to interpose its
power although the interstate COM
merce law has in some other matters
been stretched almost enough to cover
an interstate prize fight in which prtn-
cipals and spectators come, for the
most part. across state lines.
So far as California Is concerned,
their effort is likely to be quite in
vain. The law of that state proscribes
prize fights" but describes them in
such a manner as to put the proposed
contest clearly in the list of innocent
athletic exercises, and indeed 1t Will
be little more, in spite of the size and
strength of the contestants, and the
vigor of their blows. They will not
seriously hurt each other Should one
of them within the prescribed forty
five rounds to which the game Is to
be confined, get in the required blow
upon the point of the others jaw, mo-
mentarily paralyzing the pneumogas-
trio nerve, the latter will undergo
sort of hypnosis while the referee is
counting ten. the judges will declare
him defeated, and in a few minutes
there after he will be smilingly shak-
ing his rivals hand and they will both
be congratulating each other upon 1.-THE
size of the gate"
To call this playful performance bru-
tai, "a disgrace to civilization" which

NEW YORK CONDEMNED

A DISGRUNTLED playwright says
n New York is composed of lobster
"A palaces, anglomaniacs, continen-
talists, naughty disdain of anything
that is American, big thieves who live
on little thieves, little thieves who live
on everybody, electriclightitis, megalo-
mania sale of women and a few other
trifes."
This is a sweeping indictment of the
metropolis, and we would be sorry to
think there was not another side to
the question.
New York, like every big city, is be-
coming more and more cosmopolitan
every year, The cosmopolitan spirit is
commendable when it leads to interna-
tional understanding and good feeling,
but when it sacrifices the first prin-
ciples of Amerlcanism and tends to
create what is practically a foreign city
under the Stars and Stripes, it affords
a singularly impressive example of a
danger that menaces the republic.
New York has allowed itself to out
grow Americanism. This is a most
unhealthy growth. 1t is the duty
of every big city to teach Americanism
in the public schools, to teach it sys-
tematically, to teach it earnestly.
otherwise, with the increase of the
population Of the United States, there
will be danger Americanism will be lost
sight of altogether The national in
dividuaity produced by strict adher-
ence to constitutionalism and the main
tcnance of the principles proclaimed in
the Declaration of Independence is the
most precious possession Of the United
States.

the morality, respect, education and

some a somewhat strained use of the
words The whole history of the box
ing game in this country does not show
as many casualties or fatalities as the
football games of three seasons. Base
ball causes vastly more injury to life
and limb. The celebration of the
Fourth of July in the last ten years
has probably caused more loss of life
than all the boxing games since Occur
de Lion knocked out Little John with
a blow of his mailed fist in Walter
Scott's 'Ivanhoe,' or, indeed, since the
cunning Ulysses got in that good one

therefore, that it is not the injury the
boxers do each other which offends our
good friends who are protesting. They
are probably moved by somewhat the
same motives which governed the Pu-
ritans of the commonwealth, who for
bade bearbaiting, not on account of the
sufterings of the bear, but on account
of the carnal pleasure the spectacle
gave the spectators.
We have no doubt whatever that the
recent death of good King Edward of
England was as much bemoaned by
the Presbyterians of that country and
of this as by other people, and that
their pulpits were as eloquent in eu-
logy of him. Had this Jeffries-John-
son contest taken place in England,

was himself, dead game sport that he
was, he would have made UP nice
little party of his friends, and re-
paired in strict mufti to the scene of
battle to witness it. Nor would he
have greatly cared afterward If the
whole world knew of It,
But, remember, we are not defending
prize fights, or even boxing contests.
Let our Presbyterian friends stop them
if they can. But they had better be-
gin in some other state than in Call
fornia. That commonwealth is given
up to the Belial of sport.

is, it is sometimes more fictitious than
otherwise, and ambitious citizens who
cannot rid themselves of fictitious val

Much Illicit DistiIIing.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Cabell, recently gave orders dispatchine
eight agents to Oklahoma, Tennessee
and North Carolina to assist in enforc-
ing the laws against illicit distiIling.
Reports received at the bureau show
the great extent to which the business
has developed in these states of the
south and southwest which local prohibi-
ton laws have relegated to "dry" terri
tory. Mr.. Cabell says there is more
illicit distilling now than ever known
before in the states referred to.
The field force has been increased to
the limit of appropriation. Round UPS
of moonshine outfits are frequent and a
count kept recently showed that five
agents or deputies had been shot in a
period of sixty years.
The government officials labor under
considerable difficulty in making arrests
because of Indifference of the people in
the localities effected to act in the ca
pacity of informers or to give practical
assistance in capturing the persons in
the illicit business.

Mr.. Stuart's coterie of friends re-
quested him to violate his pledges, they
did not instruct him. How easy it is
for a man to be released from the per-
Torrance of duty when he is eager to
secure the release.
When the question of proclamation

marks he said:
After the people have expressed
themselves decidedly, Enthusiastically and
positively at the polls for submission.
you go home, you call up few around
you, and you reach out and try to gath
er up public sentiment to support you.
You get this sentiment in no definite
way; you get it no way that binds YOU.
The people have expressed their will to
US at the polls. During the
recess you go home, and you fish around
through the air, and you say, What is
the public sentiment; what is it?' Well
1t is for proclaiming. And you get up
little mass meeting. You go to two or
three men of influence, and you ask
them about it. and they say, 1t is all
right; just go on, and knock the thing
winding. -
These remarks were meant for the
members of the convention who had
been elected as the avowed supporters
of submission, but who were seeking
to avoid the keeping of a sacred pledge.
The remarks Of Mr.. Wysor fit Mr..
Stuart's case precisely.

The death of John w. Daniel of Lynch
burg removes a prominent political
figure from the scene of action. Daniel
belonged to the old school of southern
craftsmanship in which oratory was one
of the leading characteristics predomi-
nant features. OF his class he was
great, among the greatest, but meas
ured by the standards of today, his rec
ognition would be meager. When it
came to talking about the women of the
South, the bones and battlefields of the
great Southland, its people, hospitality
and its possibilities, set in strikinglv
beautiful English, the country posses
sed few, if any, equals, but as a con-
structive statesman, a man who pushed
things to finish in the interest of the
people, the long legislative career of
Senator Daniel fails to show ANYTHING
worthy of extended comment.
He belongs to a class that is rapidly
fading from the South. He was indeed
the lame lion, brave fighter in war, an
orator in peace, and withal an old Vir-
GINA gentleman. And are not these
good enough?

And meet his Waterloo.

Where he doth feast and revel;
But alas, he'll lind his evil deeds
Are as weighty as the devil.
Come all We re-enfranchised,
With your legal contribution;
And vote like men, against the Knave
That framed the constitution.
And robbed you of your liberty,
Our grand sires died to hand us;
And put your foot on Stuart's head
