GOVERNOR WILL NOT
 STOP PRIzEFIGHT.
Opposition of CIergymen Does
 Not Interest GiIIett.

All doubt that the Johnson-J effries fight at Emeryville, Cal, on July would not be held was dispelled by Governor Gillett of California. He an- nounced that he would not interfere in the big fight. This statement fore stalls the recent clerical movement against the contest that has attracted worldwide attention. The governors announcement at this early date came as surprise.
 Governor Gillett is said to have inti- mated that the fight will be a good thing for California and is apparently firm in his decision not to stop it. In regard to the ministerial agitation against the contest, he said that the crusade did not concern him very much. His idea is to let the ministers of the country go ahead and fight out the question of whether or not the bat tie shall be held.
 The governor said that he fully ap- preciated the ardor and seriousness of the ministers protests. However, he added that it was perfectly legal to hold a contest at Emeryville under the statutes of the state of California and did not see why or how he could pre- vent it. It is said that the governors statement was made with a view to- ward blanketing the agitation of the clergy before the movement grew too strong, thus causing unnecessary diff culties at the last minute.

RATE WAR IS AVERTED.
Interstate Commerce Ends Tempora-
 riiy Railroad Clash.

Interstate Commerce Ends Tempora- rily Railroad Clash.
 Through the efforts of the interstate commerce commission, railroad war over import freight rates, which threat ened to involve the entire Atlantic sea- board, has been averted. The differ entials in import freight rates from Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore to Chicago and intermediate points have been the source of serious trouble among competing lines for more than a year and further cuts which would have precipitated a rate war were to have been filed with the commission today.
 Under the decision reached by the commission Boston holds it's own as regards rates, Philadelphia gains an advantage, while Baltimore apparently is left holding the bag"
 The trouble over the question of i'm port rates began in March, 1909, when the Boston and Maine railroad filed with the interstate commerce commits sion new freight traffics which made the import freight rate from Boston to Chicago and other western points the same as from Baltimore and practical ly the same as from Philadelphia to Chicago and the middle west.
 The hauls from Philadelphia and from Baltimore to these western points were shorter. Other trunk lines met the Boston and Maine's cut and that road came back with another reduc- tion. The trunk lines met this second cut, but after several months trial found that they were doing a losing business, and on Jan. 1, 1910, they re-established their old rates.
 The Boston and Maine, however, stuck to it's original cut, and the ship pers of Baltimore and Philadelphia have been raising the cry that large quantity of the business has been di- verted to Boston, while the, carriers from Philadelphia and Baltimore have suffered corresponding loss.

WANTS STATE TO DO MORE

(From t1e NEWS CorrespondemtJ

(From TIN NEWS Correspondent)
Trenton, March 4:-Senator Silzer,
of Middlesex, who has introduced one
of the bills to abolish the County
Boards for the Equalization of Taxes,
yesterday afternoon INDUCED in caustic
criticism of The policy of the State
in maintaining these Boards at an ex-
pense of 100000 a year when such in
stitutions as the Sanitorium for Tu-
berculosis Diseases at Glen Gardner,
are handicapped in their work by the
failure of the State to provide larger
appropriations.
Senator Silzer said that he enjoyed
his recent inspection of the sanitorium,
and that he was impressed with the fact
that it is well conducted institution
and certainly is doing much good. "I
don It know when have been so pleas
ed as I was when 1 saw the patients,
suffering with this dread disease, all out
in the open air, apparently happy and
hopeful, and rightly so, for they gave
every indication that their lives were
being spared,'' said the Senator.
cit is unfortunate that we arepun
able to accommodate more, and an ad-
ditional appropriation should be made
IL poSSlDl6y ne ,Cunlluuou J. HIS ~
preparation would be possible if we
abolished some of our useless boards. If
we got rid of the County Boards of
Taxation we would have 100000 a year
to use to help consumptives. This
would mean that. three or four hundred
unfortunates suffering from the "white
plague would be treated and their
lives saved each year. Instead of do
ing this good work we are giving the
money to sixty-three men who are well
able to earn their own living, and are
holding these jobs merely as political
favors. 1t seems almost like murder to
continue this absurd board and deny
to the sick the benefit Of treatment at
this institution, which may save their
lives.'

Public Dental Education

A diseased mouth both harbors
and breeds most of the disease-pro-
ducing organisms.
The micro-organic life which pro-
duces decay of the teeth is as readily
transferred from person to person
and child to child as are organisms
which produce any other disease.
The decay of teeth is really the
disease of the American people, and
is doing as much damage as the
great white plague. In fact, 1t is
but one of the forerunners of tuber-
cular infection. 1t is surprising that
with all the work that has been done
by the Anti-Tuberculosis League
practically nothing has been said In
regard to keeping the oral cavity in
a healthy condition.
