THE BOYS WHO DO EVIL.
TNJa nleton PresS1


Halloween was observed in aple-
ton in different ways. and the next
morning one might wonder II, after all.
this is a civilized country.
A lot of young fellows, some Of them
old enough to know better, did consider
able mischief, mostly in the line Of
overturning outbuildings around town.
They did not seem to fear the strong
arm Of the law, because they did not
spare the town marshal's premises.
It is too bad that some youthful
males Of the human breed get it into
their heads that it is cute and funny
to DANA &c property. These fellows,
who it would seem have a feste.ed
spot where the brains ought to be,
have really spoiled what might be one
evening Of the year of Joyous and in
nocent sport. Their liberty has become
license, and taking advantage of the
to vent their spite.
1t has come to that pass that we
would all be relieved if the observance
Of halloween were forbidden by law.
ABOUT P1LTNG UP SCHOOL TAXES
[Cedar Rapids Republican,.
The Des Moines school expenditures
continue to be much discussed topic
in that city. 1t is stated in one of the
papers that the schools next year will
call for 100000. They are alarmed.
Des Moines' population is about two
and half times that Of Cedar Rapids.
Cedar Rapids spends annually. about
$4,000 for school purposes Of which
si33, 600 is for salaries and $4,000 for
contingencies and the balance for new
buildings and so on. According 10
population. if the schools of Des Moines
were as economically administered as
those Of this city. they ought to spend
about 100000 a year, but they are go
ing to spend 100000. or in excess of
that amount, so we are told.
The trouble with Des Moines may
be that 1t has been building too large.
Cities and school districts have habit
Of doing that. Everything is done with
great splurge and the newspapers are
filed witt, bodstinss os the loMdest
kind. To put 100000 into a high
school for one side Of the river was
simply a question Of voting the taxes
That was the Des Moines way of doing
things. But now the chickens are COM
ing home to roost in the form Of taxes
and the people and the newspapers are
kicking. But IL 1t not what they
worked for and voted for? In Cedar
Rapids we have one high school, one
for the whole city ana it did not cost
$4,000. all told. The original build

the new addition cost little over $780,

ANOTHER VICTORY
FOR HARRY LEWIS
The Philadelphia WeIterWeight
Beats English MiddIeWeight
in Less Than Two Rounds.

LONDON, March 15.-Members Of the
National Sporting Club and their guests
saw Harry Lewis, the American welter-
weight champion, triumph over Jimmy
Norman, a London middIeweight, last
night. The fight lasted less than two
rounds, but in those five minutes there
was enough action to please the most
eXacting ring enthusiast. 1t was a sort
Of give-and-take battle in the first round.
Norman evidently did not intend to 80
any distance and tried his best to win
by the knockout route. Lewis took all
that Norman could hand out without
fiinching. During the brief session OF
one and a half rounds the American
proved TO be the better boxer, strategist
and ring general.
The bout was scheduled to go fifteen
rounds, for a purse of 81, 40.
The first round was Horman's. who did
all the leading. landing blow after blow
without a return. A vicious right to the
jaw just as the bell rang sent Lewis to
his corner with a puzzled look.
At the advice of Al Lippe his chief ad-

at the Englishman as soon as the gong

evidently awaiting these new tactics.

cut. which partly dazed the American.
for during the clinch which followed
Lewis drove his fist into Horman's atom-
ach and the Englishman went down and
was counted out.

The case reached Secretary Nagel on
appeal and he decided as follows:
I'm this case I hesitate to follow the
recommendation. Ordinarily l would
agree that it would be safest to have this
alien girl married before she leaves Ellis
Island. But inasmuch as she has never
seen the man whom she is to marry /
think we ought to avoid the exercising
of influence if she can be otherwise pro-
tected. Apparently she can, because a
position has been secured fer her and we
were prepared to admit her to take this
position.
I'm other words. it seems to me that il
the position held out to her is proper
one 1t would be wise to let her take this
place and then give her an opportunity to
determine the question of marriage after
ward. This would at least give her
the opportunity to exercise her own judy
ment, and would relieve her from the
undue influences which her desire to get
in must necessarily exert"

the girl to land under bond that she
