ABE ATTElL TOYS
WITH PAL MOORE
SHOWED HIS SUPERIORITY
EVERY MINUTE AND COULD
HAVE WON BY KNOCKOUT.

NEW YORK. Dec. Abe Attell
was the recipient OF scores of con-
gra;ulations to-day over his failure
To join the ranks OF fading pugiiistic
stars. II there were any persons In
the crowd last night at the Paramount
Athletic Club, where the veteran
featherweight champion toyed with
Pal Moore. the star Philadelphia
lightweight, who did not believe that
he was the cleverest, shiftiest little
fighter in the country. his bout with
Moore settled the question in his ia
vor.
With the exception Of his knock
down of Attell in the seventh round,
which was so unexpected as to be
inexpiainable. Moore played the role
of Il target for the fast moving Abe,
who jabbed. poked. slashed. upper
cut and peppered the Quaker boy AL
mort at VIII.
Moore Is far from a slow fighter.
but against Attell he appeared awk-
ward and clumsy. Moore went to the
mat in the fourth round and had
Atteil forced the fighting at this time
he probably would have won by the
Knockout route. At the finish Moore
was badly beaten up and very tired.

How Taft Does Things.

Des Moines Capital: VIM. Howard
Taft, President of the United States,
called all the railroad presidents of
the country to the white house for a
conference and the conference result
ed in the withdrawal on the part of
the railroads of the schedules increas-
ing their freight rates.
President Taft did this by peaceful
means. All his life he has been ac-
complishing things by peaceful means.
The American people are learning
what President Taft is and they will
know more abort him as time goes by
He ordered injunction proceedings
holding the new rates in check Then
he secured an adjustment for the
present of the dispute
This is one of Taft's triumphs. He
/ is a diplomat. He brought peace to
the Philippine Islands. He secured
/ harmony between the Church of Rome
4 and the American authority in the
/ Philippines. On two different occas-
I ions he brought peace to Cuba. He
4 settled disturbances in Porto Rico.
/ He Strengthened everything out on
the Isthmus of Panama. He required
an investigation of conditions affect
/ ing the laboring man in the employ
of the United States Steel corporation.
He secured the passage of the new
railroad law through the senate. He
will secure the passage of the same
through the house. Taft does things.
He Is man OF peace. He is a man
of brains, a man of conscience. The
American people will be proud of him
when they come to know him better
4 1t was sane thing on the part of
schedules of rates. They will now
submit their proposed rates to the
interstate commerce commission after
the new railroad laws have passed
i both houses. In other words, Taft
and the railroad presidents have de
cided to be reasonable men and to
settle their differences in a reasonable
way
Taft has scored the greatest tri
umDh of his life and a triumph OF
which President Roosevelt would be
proud. He has always had faith in
Taft and his diplomacy. During the
Roosevelt administration whenever
and wherever there was trouble
; President Roosevelt sent Secretary

Death of Senator WhippIe.

Des Moines Capital: Announcement
OF the passing away of State Senator
William P Whipple at his home in
vinton will bring profound sorrow to
the hearts OF thousands of Iowa peo-
pie. In every sense of the word this
was a man." He served nearly a de-
cade in the state senate and by his
capacity for work, his clearness of
understanding, his readiness in debate
and his unfailing courtesy to all who
disagreed with him he built up a
circle OF friendship which in itself is
a lasting tribute to his worth.
Senator Whipple was the father Of
the state educational board of control
bill. Defeated in one session of the
general assembly he appeared at the
next session, master of his subject,
fortified with facts, and completely
reversed the verdict Of the preceding
session. He performed well every ser
vice imposed upon him.
Senator Whipple was born beneath
Iowa skies. He was educated In her
institutions. He was loyal to her in.
terests. AS lawyer, legislator and
citizen he leaves stainless record.

THE FIRST DISTRICT RESULT.

The denomination of Congressman
Kennedy by an overwhelming MAORI
ty at the primary election Tuesday
is simply a prelude to his reelection
by a like vote at the polls next fall.
The outcome of the contest calls for
the warmest congratulations both to
nominee and constituents. Mr.. Ken
nedy has shown himself to be a cap
able and worthy representative, and
the Republican voters Of the First dis
trict have attested emphatically and
conclusively their high appreciation OF
his character and services.
Mr.. Kennedys splendid victory is
the more significant because he left
his cause wholly in the hands OF the
voters of the party, content to abide
by their verdict whatever it might be.
While his opponent for weeks in adj
vance went industriously over the dis
trict holding meetings and making
speeches in his own interest, Mr..
Kennedy remained IN Washington,
giving attention strictly to the duties
of his office Not a meeting was held
in his interest nor speech delivered
in his behalf, yet he won out by a
majority of over 1000. The result is
proof positive that the great mass Of
the party in the district approve his
wisely ordered course and the things
for which he has stood as member
of the house.
1t is greatly to the credit of the
large majority of First district Repub-
licans that they were uninfluenced by
the bitter fight made on Mr.. Kennedy
under orders from insnrgent head
quarters In Washington. Nothing was
left undone to prejudice the voters OF
4 the district against him because he
stood with the Republican national ad
ministration In its efforts to give
force and effect to Republican
principles and policies. Efforts were
made to discredit and humiliate hin
for no better reason than that, II
common with other genuine Republi
cans in congress and throughout tht
nation, he sought TO redeem part,
platform pledges and thus yindicatt
the party in the eyes Of the country
and preserve it's integrity and self
i respect The attempt signally failed
and 1t is to be hoped 1t will not be re
peated in future.
The contest is now matter of bis
tory and the duty before every Repub
lican is to forget the differences o
the past and so align himself that tn
party Will present solid from
against the common political enemy
To the work Of winning a glorious vic
tory the party in the district as hal
monious whole should now address
itself.
