Fixhtine GREAT Sport.


To the Editor Of the Evening Star:
Why this hue and cry against prize
fighting ana the moving pictures of the
last big fight? It seems to me that the
time is not far distant when the people
will demand to see exhibitions Of the
manly art. Prize fighting, to my mind,
is much less brutal than football. There
are by far more men killed every year
in the football arena than in the prize
ring. Yet when some unframed boxer
happens to get a punch which will re-
suit fatally there is a roar from the
"holier than thou people that can be
heard from coast to coast. 1t is time
that the people and not the few shall
rule. In the crowd that saw the big
fight were men prominent in every
walk OF life. The attendants at the
fights in the New York clubs are mostly
professional and solid business men

DAMAGES O THE PRIZE FIGHT MANAGER

tn RIZE FIGHT MANAGER TEX RICHARDS suit for 100000
damages against Governor Gilett, of California, for changing
his mind in regard to permitting the JefriesJohnson mill to
be pulled off in San Francisco may be a characteristic bluff. Rick
ard isn't versed in law, and, if he is in earnest, there are lawyers on
the Pacific coast who are willing and ready to prosecute any kind
Of a case for a client possessed of a fat roll. Governor Gillett's
course in the matter is censurable. He encouraged the fight man
ayers to make costly preparations and then suddenly reversed his
policy and put them to great financial loss. But a governor cannot
be successfully sued for changing his mind or for seeing things in a
new light Or for putting a new Interpretation on a State law which
It is his duty to execute. In the end he adopted the right course,
and as long as he performed his duty his motives cannot be in
nuirad into.

ident is not explained, except only that the midsummer
weather conditions in Washingtcn.ar are not pleasant There II very
imnortant reasons why a session Of the Senate should be called,
while the inconyenience,to the-Senators of a few hours at the capltai
could not be very great. There are virtually two vacancies In the
United States Supreme Court. Chief Justice rulers oealn MAKES
4 and Justice acknowledgements him from sitting. JUS
tice Moody is expected to accept the pension made for him by Con
res and retire, and doubtless if the Senate should be convened
he will resign. The next term of the court opens in October, and
there should be a full court to take up anew the vastly important
corporation cases that are now pending, and upon the adjudication
of which depends property interests involving hundreds of millions.
The situation is almost unprecedented, and largely rests upon tue
Judgment of a court of nine judges that at present is a court only
of seven Judges. The Senate should be convened by the President.
The great material interests of the country should be a first con
sideration.

4 COSTLY LEGISLATIVE BLUNDER.

wv EW YORK'S new inheritance tax act will add about $4,OO0,OOO
I'M to the States revenue. New Jersey is less fortunate. By a
decision just handed down by the Court OF Errors and Ap-
meals. declaring unconstitutional the act of 1906, New Jersey may
he mulcted in the amount of 100000 or 100000, representing
transfer taxes paid to the State on legacies under the act. Prior
10 1906 the law provided for a tax upon legades. The Legislature
in 1906 sought to amend this law and change the subjectmatter of
taxation by imposing a tax upon all transfers of legacies. The court
finds that the object of the amendment is not expressed in the title
of the original act. As the Constitution requires that the object OF
every legislative act shall be clearly expressed in the title, the con-
clusion is reached by the court that the amendment of 1906 is in
valid. The blunder is a costly one, and it is a legislative blunder.
Fortunately, the effect of the decision is confined to a limited period.
In 1909 the law was again amended, and In this latest effort the
Legislature seems to have complied with the constitutional require
ments.

TUNNEL FARES FOR JERSEY CITY.

m FIVECENT fare from any point in Jersey City to any point
A in New York city is demanded of the McAdoo Tunnel Com
pany by the Jersey City Board of Works, the rate of fare
to be in perpetuiy. The ferriage charge across the Hudson is three
cents. and that is only from bank to bank. To reach the ferry in
Jersey City from residential sections the trolley fare is five cents.
To reach Sixth avenue and Twentythird street or Thirtythird street
in New York from the ferry costs another five cents. This involves
three changes and considerable walking, and consumes much time.
Considering the disadvantages and cost of transit by ferry and the
convenience of transit by tunnel, the McAdoo Company is certainly
not unreasonable in objecting to the terms proposed.

Persecstion Of Je~,s Deplored.

Persecution of Jews Deplored.
To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Congressman William Hughes, of
Paterson. has wired to President Taft
asking him. on behalf Of Jewish citi-
zens, to protest to the Russian govern
ment against the outrageous persecu-
ton OF the Jews in Russia this week
and for some time past. It is probable
that President Taft will take some ac-
ton. at least he should, for the Jewish
people are a large factor in the manu-
featuring and mercantile business of
this country and form a large per-
centage Of the population.
Jewish citizens are i~aw-abiding and
give the police little trouble in any
city or town. They attend to their own
business and do not interfere with their
neighbors. Many thousands of the
Jews in this country rave relatives in
Russia, where the worst persecution
Is done and outrages committed upon
women as we'll as men. This country
should be the active. not passive. friend
Of the oppressed and persecuted in
every country in the world.
A vigorous protest by President Taft
against further persecution of the jew
| would be needed by Russia, which has
always been friendly TO the United
States. and especially during the Civil
War. SYMPATHY.
