Influence,

One Of the reasons assigned by
Champ Clark for opposing the exist
ing tariff commission is that under
the constitution such commission
shall be merely advisory in character.
This lack Of authority. he insists.
would make its work futile.
1t might be observed that the result
of the recent election was chiefly due
to advisory influences, such as articles
in newspapers and magazines, that
had no authority whatsoever. Yet
these influences seem to have insured
the election Of Mr.. Clark as speaker
of the next house.
The present minority leader ought
to be the last man on earth to under
value the power of influence In the
modern world.

Tho TlcklIsh TarIff-Test,

Fresh illustration of the apprehen-
siveness of certain Democratic gentle
men as to where tariff reform" may
break out when their party gets a
chance at the job Is furnished by the
way in which they are trying to
"shoo" Senator Bailey off the track.
Senator Bailey, as has come to be
pretty well known, belongs to that
considerable contingent Of southern
Democrats who have seen new light
on the tariff question. Several of
them affirm that they are protection
lists and do not care who knows It.
Senator Bailey is not quite SO out
spoken. but he does advocate a duty
on certain raw materials" And, be
1t said, proposing duty on raw ma
terials Is, in the eyes of a real, true
blue Democratic tariff reformer, the
objectionable economic sin. Yet there
comes from Washington the rumor
that Senator Bailey is using his In
fluence to secure the creation, in the
next Democratic house of representa-
tives, of committee on ways and
means that will favor tax" on raw
materials. Senator Bailey is from
Texas, not from Missouri and there is
no necessity for Showing" him He
knows that Texas raises a whole lot
OF things that are raw materials" for
various industries. and some that are
important food-products. So why
should there not be duty on cotton,
rice. a wide variety OF vegetables,
corn, hay. and other products Of
Texas?

Economy In Government.

There Is but one vital question with
which congress is called upon to deal
and that is economy in government, a
reform for which President Taft has
pointed the way. Since President Nc
Kinley's time there has been a reck-
less enlargement in public expendi-
ture; but now. after careful study
and with the aid Of experts. Presi-
dent Taft has found way to lessen
the outgo by the sum Of $300. .000, 900.
He has also reduced the deficit in
the postal service and has increased
the tariR revenues BY compelling
obedience to the law.

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

Ever since can remember We had

US all, and myself suffered almost
death from Indigestion and nervous
ness caused by 1t.
II know 1t was that, because when
I would leave 1t OF for a few days l
would feel better. But 1t was hard to
give it up, even though 1 realized how
harmful 1t was to me.
"At last found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and l also in
nuenced the rest of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink 1t freely as they do
water. And it has done us all great
good.
II no longer suffer from Indigestion,

WAS THE FATHER OF BOXING
Jem Mace Originated Present style
Of Fighting. and Was invlneible
for Years.

London.-Jem Mace. the English
prizefighter. who died recently at the
age of 70, was at one time worth more
than 100000. but of recent years
has been dependent on friends. Occa-
sionally he had appeared in music hall
exhibitions
Mace was born at Beeston In Nor
folk and in his day was one OF the
fight was with Bill Thorpe. whom he
beat in IS rounds. When Tom Say
ers retired from the championship in
1860 Mace was regarded as his legit-
innate successor, but his supremacy
was soon challenged by Tom King
The two met in January. 1862. when,
after 43 rounds, Mace was given the
verdict. For the next ten years Mace
was practically invincible.
Mace is regarded as the father of
the present style of boxing. because he
Is the originator. When the former
English champion entered the profess
sional prize ring the boxers stood toe
to toe. with spikes In their shoes. and
banged away at each other until one
or both dropped to the floor exhaust
ed. At first Mace engaged in this style
of fighting under the so-called London
prize ring rules. Owing to the sturdi
ness of the men of his day he had
little chance at that game and con-
cluded to use style of his own. He
originated his style and for the first
time in the history of the prize ring
was seen fast feinting with both
hands, side stepping and ducking.
Mace was an artist at scientific boxing
and for that reason beat all his oppo-
nents easily. He struck a hard blow
with all his cleverness and time and
again in his battles blinded his oppo-
nents with his jabs and hooks. Seldom
did he come out of a bout bearing
a mark of any kind. as he avoided all
The attempts of his adversaries to land

blocking.
