No Love Lost Between Fighters In
London Cafe.
London June 2S.-Jim Jenries and
Jack Johnson met accidentally in the
1rocadcro restaurant during corona
ton week. The meeting of the former
ring antagonists created sensation
among the diners who seemed for a
moment To fear renewal of the Reno
hostilities.
Jenrics. who has just arrived from
Carlsbad. where he has been taking
a course of the waters, was dining
with his wife and several friends when
Johnson entered.
The fighters saw each other, but
Jemries glared stonily in the other di-
rcction and refused TO recognize John
son. The noise of the gay restaurant
ceased. Johnson, howev-

.Iemries and took table at the fur
thcr side Of the room.
Jenries appeared highly uncomfor-
table and hastily finished his meal and
departed. leaving Johnson laughing

ANOTHER MESSAGE

Mr.. Tafts second message deals with
Foreign Relations and contains little of gen.
eral interest In the main the message is but
recital of occurrences that have but little
popular interest in the relation of the country
to foreign nations
plea is made for the passage of the Ar
bitration treaties with Great Britain and
France. somewhat full explanation of the
conditions that conspred to render neces-
sary, in the view of the government the mobi-
lzation Of troops upon the Mexican border is
made and will appeal to the average laynan
as fully justifyng the action. The country
is congratulated that its exports for the year
ending June 3, 1911. reached the high mark
in the commercial history of the nation. These
exports showed gain the preceding
year of more than 33oo.00o.000
Such items as these make up the message

THE REPORT OF THE JOINT AUDITING
COMMITTEE

The report of the Joint legislative auditing
committee is an admirable paper 1t shows
painstaking and exhaustive investigation and
sets forth candidiy and clearly facts that the
public should know There is sufficient data con-
tanned therein to furnish basis for the re-
organization of the States accounting forces
along the lines OF systematic and up-to-date
methods OF bookkeeping and to suggest places
and points for economy and retrenchmen.
This would appear to be especially demand
ed since the Auditor again refers to the deficit
in the State treasury. After earnest efforts
and successful In the collection Of revenues
and an admirable supervision OF the financial
anairs OF the State there was still an actual de-
ficit at the close of the fiscal year of something
over 100000 The situation calls for care
fui handling by the incoming General Assembly.
Economy in expenditures. even to the point OF
retrenchment liz better than wasteful extrav-
agance with the direful results that inevitably
ensue We repeat. what We have suggested
before that progress purchased at the cost Of
thoughtless extravaganza is disastrous The
reaction is sure to follow. Governments like
individuals will always fetch up at the END
In shame and sorrow who indulge themselves
beyond their ability to stand. Show is always
too costly when its cost is the embarrassment
of debt
The committee paid a well earned tribut
to Auditor Donahoe when 1t expressed Its ar
probation of his excellent administration ant
its regret at his announced retirement.

AN INDISPENSABLE POLITICAL EXPEDIENT

That certain interests hostile to Woodrow
Wilson should exploit the fact that he applied
to the Carnegie Foundation for teachers
pension for the evident purpose OF bringing
him into dsrepute is political trick that
should be deprecated by every right thinking
man.
The facts in the case that when Mt
Wilson entered politics. being aware OF the
uncertainties pertaining thereto, and having
no private income he made application Tor
teachers pension. The law OF the Fonnoatioh
is that anyone who has taught for twenty
five years is entitled TO pension from the
revenues OF the Foundation Mr., Wilson, sup
posing that he properly qualified and de-
string to provide his family against the ext
geney of want, put in his application.
There is nothing that reflects upon Mr.. VIII
sonss character in the transaction. Dr. Ira
Remsen. of Johns Hopkins, says in recent In
terview:
II have great admiration for President or
Governor Wilson; and in my mind whatever
he did was done like gentleman and with
the highest ideals He is a man incapable OF
any other conduct"
Political opponents who would resort to such
tactics as this must be hard pressed Tnere
is an apparent luminosity behind the expediens
and such a puerile endeavor to damage the
character of prominent candidate for the
presidency that the very effort itself will re-
act and bring disrepute upon It's author.
Let the candidates wage their campaigns AND
let their friends fight as vigorously az they
desire. But let the fight be clean and open ano
manly. and may the best man win

The foregoing is an extract from the report
OF the joint legislative auditing committee and
reflects great credit upon the negro students
of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Inst-
tute at Petersburg Va
II, per contra, suggests that the students OF
the various white institutions of the State
might follow their example. To the everlasting
shame Of the white youth who have defaced the
property of the State, whether thoughtlessly
or wantonly. is it that the negro boys and girls
should have been complimented at their ex-
pense.
The incident will not prove worthless If it
suggests to many minds that among the
characteristics OF real superiority are the re-
cognition of rights and the considerable hand
ling of property which is not ones own. Mere
color Is OF little value when beneath that color
there is disposition to desecrate and des-
poll.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN LOS ANGELES.

For the first time in its history women voted
women appreciated the opportunity of parti-

larger percentage of their registered vote than

courtesy and they displayed an intelligence

surprising. The women were largely support
ers of the good government ticket Awhile

date of the socialists for mayor, might be
elected but it TRANSFERRED that the women would
not support the socialist ticket and the good
government candidate elected by major
ity close to $4,000.
