way discreditabe both to Plat, his party and

Ito make him take it,
The true history of Roosevelt, Plat and the
Vice Presidential nomination probably is that
there had come a change in political methods
which Plat was too old to see. The professional
politician is man of precedent. He plays ac-
cording To- the good old rules He avoids mi
tiative, forgetting that even old rules were once
innovations. Say what one will of Roosevelt, he
is politician. He senses conditions as hound
noses trail. In the Vice Presidency he no doubt
saw " future where Platt saw only Il burial He
saw, too, Platt's game. lie played his hand
with a knowledge of his opponent s cards The
end came dramatically quickly, but it was the
end which Roosevelt doubtless anticipated and
for which he worked
Boss Plat no doubt died holding the mixed
emotions Of man who had done his enemy Il ser
vice. He was hardly more responsible for his
actions than the bashful swain who, entirely by
accident, discovers a beautiful opportunity to
propose.

mttee room upon the rights and wrongs of the
proposed legislation
AT which point entered Representative Sims
and the bout proceeded as, follows:
4'I've never seen boxing contest, !"
said Mr.. Sims. Why not give us little
exhibition here in this room7'
That's just the trouble with these
people who are trying to end boxing"
quickly interrupted Nelson.
-'~" Most of them have never seen
contest and they don't know what they
are talking about. Let me tell you
something, maybe you don't know.
Theodore Roosevelt never missed go
when he was in New York.
He never missed good bout here"
answered Mr.. Sims.
Do You think he would have done
better with gloves than with the big
stick, inquired Mr.. Bartlett, of Georgia.
He certainly would enjoy tilt with
the gloves better than swinging the
stick, responded Nelson, land he could
swing the stick some at that"
Whatever the merits of the boxing con-
test" as opposed to the "prize fight, and what
ever may be the comparative hurtfulness of
moving pictures representing &c" and other
pictures concerning even less savory features of
life, Nelson made palpable hit when he called
attention to the eagerness of the man who has
never seen fight to "see how it is done. It is
a curious characteristic of many well-meaning
workers for various reforms that they appear to
esteem their personal curiosity valid excuse
for the encouragement of the evil they denounee.
1t is this visible quality which has done much to
discredt the work in the slums, and which has
retarded well-founded movements for
better morals by exposing their promoters to
the easily brought and readily believed charge of
hypocrisy
Suppose that Washington were the scene of
the next battle for the pugilistic championship.
Suppose that the management were to offer free
seats to President Cabinet, and members of Con
gress. Where, in that event would one go to find
a nuorum7 Certainly not to capitol Hill!
Yet it is entirely within keeping with the
record, not only of Congress but of perhaps
the majority of good people everywhere. that
having satisfied their curiosity with spectacle,
they should the next day turn piously to pass a
law against it.
Is ii remarkable that such laws representative
IS they are of the better senimen of he people,
should under snch circumstances be hnt poorly
enforced, or that the effort Mt law enforcement
should meet with its most difficult opposition at
the hands of that very majority from which
springs the law itself?
The law needs strong arm behind it. But
the strongest arm is ultimately without vieor
