 REPEALED IN MAINE

Portland Me., September 9.-The probable vote of the rural districts is the uncertain factor in all forecasts to- night of the outcome of the special election to be held Monday upon the repeal of the liquor prohibitory amend ment of the Maine constitution. Claims of both sides place the cities on he repeal side, but the probable vote oi the country districts was much in doubt and reports from those sections are contradictory Secretary Frederick G. F'assett of the repeal campaign organ ization, said tonight:
 .T believe the prohibitory amendment will be annulled by substantial major ity. Men who have been out at work among the voters estimated the major itv at from 10, 900 to 10000. and l per sonallv believe that the estimates are reasonable"
 Mrs. Lillian M N. Stevens. nation al president of the Woman's Christian Temperance union. who has been the leader against the repeal. said:
 q expect now as l have from the first that we shall win victory Tor constitutional prohibition in Maine. l don't believe the business men of Maine will vote to inaugurate a system that will bring the saloon in competition with their business life. and l don't oe- lieye that tax payers generally Will adopt a plan that will raise their taxes and endanger their families.

ROOSEVELT OPPOSES PRIZE
 FIGHTING IN EMPIRE STATE

"The spirit produced by the boxing had told against knife fighting and distinctly discouraged foul play.
 Therefore from every standpoint Ia believe in the encouragement of boxing as q sport. Moreover, boxing as a pro- fesson has made good also. Among the men whose friendship and regard 1 have really valued I could name a number of professional boxers, including several ring champions. The men to whom l refer I have found square, decent men, who showed themselves good citizens when their good citizenship was tested. 1 approved of the movement which Tn this 1 state, at the time 1 was police commIs- sioner, resulted In the enactment or a raw l permitting contests between professional boxers, under conditions which were meant to safeguard the sport against pru- taity and other evils which have every where resulted sooner or later in the sup precision of the prize ring. saw several of these boxing contests in which the in- tent of the law was carried out in good faith.
 Nevertheless, even under this law. abuses crept in. and finally one or TWO fights occurred where the surrounding circumstances were so scandaIous rGat when | was governor I obliged to advocate, and finally secured the repeal Of the law under which the contests took
 
 jcrity of the citizenship of that state and the elements which made prize fighting objectionable had gradually been revived
 Now this was my experience-the ex- perience of a man who. far from be- ing preiudiced against boxing was, and is warm advocate of it and who, at the outset, had not the slightest prejudice against professional boxing-that is, box ing for purses of money, and who has numbered among his friends many men who were professionals and who had fought for money prizes.
 "I am sure that what has happened in New York will happen in the nation at large and the prize fighting will be. as it ought to be. stopped in every state m the Union. Since it was stopped in New York the conditions surrounding the ring have grown worse instead of better.
 "rhe money prizes fought for are enor- nous. and are a potent source of demor- alization in themselves. while they are so often arranged as to be a premium on crookedness or else to reward nearly as amply the man who fails as the man who succeeds.
 The betting and gambling upon the re- suit are thoroughly objectionable"

New York, September 9.-The boxing situation in New York is in state of chaos, and it is by no means improbable that before another year has passed the Frawley bill, which legalizes prize fight ing in this state, will be repealed.
 There is a strong element in the state which is strongly against prize fighting in any form, which is already using the deadlock in the state boxing commission the disgracefu conduct of some of The fights held under the new law, and the refusal of fight promoters to comply with the law with effect.
 These things bid fair to line up against the law the great controlling mass of citi- zenship which, while favorable to boxing, has no patience with the commercialsm and rowdylsm which marks the fights in this city.
 Former President Roosevelt is fairly representative of this class.
 MT. Roosevelt. in commenting on the situation today, said:
 "I have always been fond of boxing, and have always believed in it as a viz orous, manly pastime, and one of those pastmes which has a distinct moral and physical value, because they encourage such essential virtues as courage, hardi- hood, endurance and self control.
 Until within a few years ago l used to box a good deal myself, and when was young several times took part in contests of a public or semi-public na- ture-generally, I am bound to say, with ill success I think boxing is a sport which should be encouraged among 3oys and young men generally. I have been very glad to help it so far as l could in the army and navy, where, | believe, it has been a good thing for the enlisted men
 When I was police commissioner l was much struck by a statement made to me by Jacob Riis. to the effect that the establishment of boxing clubs in many of the poorer districts had resulted Tn good in rather unexpected ways-thac It it had not only given the vigorous young fellows who would otherwise join gangs g. legitimate outlet for their activities, but had also markedly reduced the num- ber of affrays in which the knife was used,

 James Bradwell finished second in a blood sweating dash with w. A. Zim- merman, who received third honors.
 The time Is not considered good being considerably under the record for the course, which is 1 hour and 42 seconds, held by the winner.

 .et our friends in Congress take heart. for if what they have done is playing politics. the people will cry Go on wish the game.
 Take the tariff out of politics, say some. : The President missed the best op- portunity there ever was to do this by signing bills to reform the tariff which were passed by democratic House and republican Senate obeying the command of enormous popular majorities to which men of both parties contributed.
 But the tariff will never be taken out of politics so long as it is to be prostitnted for private gain and those who get or wish to get the gain can control the organiza- ton of one of the great parties. For fbe voters will always use the other party for their defense and the conflict will go on until it is settled whether, privileged classes or the people shall rule. for those rule country in whose behalf the taxing power is employed" sA
