lis own words, the establishment Of an
arbitral court 10 which we shall submit
our international controversies with the

The great number Of cases Of mush-

there always are also those who do not

per cent went South to work among
their own people, while Of 6S2 graduates
born in the South all but - per cent

he flouted and set at naught by q prize
fight promoter. 1t closely touches Gov

tration which put New York state into

question is raised about the lease which

building. and about the raise In the
prices of tickets for the first bout and
the affidavit covering the tax TO the state
from the returns. Yet the question or
obedience TO the law. and Of Withholding
from the states treasury money due II,
is at stake.
Governor Dix and the State Boxing
Commission are sworn to enforce the
states laws. Why the delay in probing
this affair TO the bottom? Why the
strange leniency with this promoter of
rrizefighting? Why the star chamber
proceedings? Is the Democratic admin
istration paying off debt of gratitude
to some of the men who put 1t into
power? Is the public to believe that The
Democratic politician who figures as one
