This Years Democratic Appeal,

Democratic managers in this year S
state campaigns will make much of the
party's national prospects, which they
claim are exceedingly bright. The appeal
will run something like this: Think of
next year in casting your votes this year
IL we stand together now We shall cap
ture the presidency and both houses of
the next Congress without a doubt The
drift is with us. Republican divisions are
widening and multiplying. The leaders
OF that party have not been so discourag-
ed in an age. Don't allow local issues
10 cause trouble. Never mind IL either
the local ticket or the platform is not
entirely TO your liking. Support the
party anyhow. and trust to the future to
set state matters right"
In New Jersey, where a legislature is
to be elected, the Wilson men will dwell
on this theme. A democratic legislature
following the democratic triumph of last
year will. VOTERS will be told. greatly

''Despotism tempered by assassina-
ton" is a difficult study in government.
There have been many assassinations
of officials in Russia, but despotism
continues. The tempering has been

One result of this tragedy will be the

London's Prize Ring Problem.

From the New York Times.
The shame that many New Workers.
feel over the revival of prize fighting
in Manhattan borough may not be re-
lieved by the knowledge that London,
too, has a similar problem to meet.
The county council has practically
forbidden the advertised encounter be-
tween our own distinguished fellow
citizen of African descent, Mr.. John
son, and Mr.. Bombardier Wells, but
preparations are going on in the vast
Enclosure of EarIs Court, $1,000 sea IT'S
have already been sold. and the pro-
prietor of the place has asserted his
intention to go on with the fight in
spite of the prohibition. Defiance of
the law is unusual in London, and rare
~ profitable, as 1t sometimes is here.
Mr. Calvin Brown of Earls Court may
be driven to bankruptcy if the county
council revokes his license. His in
vestment there is enormous. On the
other hand, the prejudice against prize
fighting is not nearly so strong in Eng
land as it still is in this country,
among the enlightened and respectable.

The Soldiers Sweater.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
The sweater conquered the last strong
hold of conservatism in dress when 1t
was definitely adopted by the army as a
part of the soldiers equipment A few
years ago it was hardly seen anywhere
except on an athletic field. Bicycling
and golf brought it into more general
use and caused it's merits to be appre-
ciated by others than college foot ball
players. The entrance of women into
sports led to it's adoption by women, I'M
til now it is seen upon the streets as a
common article of the wearing apparel
of the sex that was last to adopt it, al
though the greater conservatism of the
other sex in matters of dress confines its
use by men rather strictly to the oc-
casions which originally brought it into
vogue.
The same merits of ease, fexibiity and
warmth which have led to its universal
adoption elsewhere have no doubt in
duced it's acceptance in the army, where
the tendency has been for long time
away from stiff and gorgeous uniforms
toward sober and sensible attire. It is
| long way from the plumes. the hair
| cloth, the starch. stiffness and military
| splendor of the past to the loose, com
Portable and inelegant sweater.
