points out that there is little difference be-

that Taft believes In protection with all IL

pockets of the workmen. failing to explain a
method of bringing about this contamination.
Both Taft and Roosevelt declare for reduction,
but the one has proven by his yetoes that he
cannot be trusted to support real reduction,
and the other, by his seven years of silence
while possessing the opportunity, proves that
neither he be trusted. Both talk and both

CURRENT COMMENT
Constitutional Amendments.

Voters should not lose sight of the fact that
at the November election they will have the
privilege of voting on two proposed amend
ments to the State constitution. One proposes
to sgive to cities the privilege of having COM
and the legislature grants permission. This Is
a reasonable request OF the cities. 1t is in re-
Spouse to the effort to provide more efficient
farm of government than we now have. No
voter offer reasonable objection TO this
amendment The plan not embodied in the
constitution when 1t was written in 1902, be-
cause commission government was a compare
lively new thing at that time and had not
impressed itself on the gentlemen who pre-
pared the article of the constitution providing
for the government Of cities. We have no doubt
living. will cheerfuily vote for this amendment.
The other proposed amendment Is equally as
reasonable. 1t proposes that the provision for
bidding the reelection of treasurers and CON-
missioners of the revenue of cities be repealed.
so that these officials may he reelected If the
people want them. II the people do not want
them they refuse to re-elect them. Ger
tainly the people ought to have the privilege
of electing them II they wish to do AS
the constitution stands it discriminates
against city treasurers and IN favor of county
treasurers fer the latter may be reelected
while the former may not. Surely there is no
reason for branding unworthy OF further
trust the gentlemen who hold these offices in
the cities at the present tfme.--Staunton

game of the year for Fargo college,

gies down with two hits, one of them
a little scratch bunt. Bentley was al
most as good, but the preachers found
him at opportune times, and punched
a three-bagger and a single on him in
ons inning.
There vas considerable criticism Of
the umpiring by the aggies, when in
the eighth, after Forth had forced in
the only run the aggies got, Grant
vas hit by a pitched ball and the UNI
pire refused to allow him to take his
base.
This eighth inning was a heart
breaker for the fans Of both teams.

three rounds, using a snappy left hook
to good effect. Moha's best work was
a straight left to the face and a couple
of short-arm punches at close quar-
tiers. In the next three rounds Nc
.Goorty was a bit wild at times, while
Moha was steady and kept forcing.
Moha had a shade the better of the
fifth round and decidedly the better Of
the sixth.
McGoorty's left was very much in
evidence in the seventh, n in the
eighth round he drove Moha to the
ropes with a left hook to the jaw and
a smashing right uppercut. A straight
left to the face from McGoorty in the
ninth kept the blood flowing from
Moha's right eye. 1t was McGoorty's
round. In the tenth McGoorty swung
his right to the head and jabbed his
left to the fact, but Mona came back
with lefts to the face. McGoorty then
cut loose and was all over his man at
the bell.
The men were supposed to weigh i n
at 156 pounds at 8 o'clock this after
noon. McGoorty was underweight, but
Mona was overweight. McGoorty
claimed the $3.50 weight forfeit and
this claim will be- decided by the state
athletic commission tomorrow. The
weights of the men at the ringside
were given as; McGoorty, 1914; Mo-
5ha, 1862.
