the play is q frost" or even q semi

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Whether or not boxing deserves to
be classed among the manly sports
there can be no two opinions Of the
utter brutality Of such q contest of
animal force as this affair at Reno, or
OF the demonstrating influence of the
gambling instincts which Ii promotes.
The men themselves. who are proba-
bly, not without manhood. are respect
able in comparison with the business
that is built around them. The whole
affair has been SO unspeakahly low
and common that it is hard to speak OF
1t with ordinary patience The one
comforting feature is in the disgust
that it has created and the opposition
1t has aroused until the fighters and
their hackers were driven to raw
frontier town as the only place where
public opinion would permit the per-
Torrance to go on. There Is reason
in this to hope that the exhibition at
Reno will be the last of It's kind, and
that the revolving idea of white man
and a negro pummeling each other Tor
the entertainment of continent will
so impress the public conscience that
not even in the widest community
will such thing be possible again.

With the republican machine plat
form declaring its opposition to the
initiative and referendum, and the
democratic platform pledging the
candidates to work for and support
these great measures, whereby the
people may rule, as distinctive pro-
visions of the State constitution, we
fail to see where any man who has
the welfare of the State at heart
has any cause to hesitate which
platform and which candidates to
choose.
One thing is certain. A conven-
ton controlled by the republican
machine will write a constitution
leaving out all the progressive meas
ures that the people need to protect
them from railroad domination and
corporation controlled legislatures.
A constitutional convention COM
posed of citizens pledged by the
democratic platform to the initiative
and referendum and supported by
voters, irrespective of parties, will
write a constitution embodying a
provision for direct legislation, by
which the people may participate in
making laws and in curbing legisla-
lures.
