No man can attack the rights of

To protect your own rights, whether
they be natural. civil, religious or
political, you must defend the rights
of others.
This being true, every citizen

PLENTY OF ACTION.
T. A. A. Entertained by Lively Local
Boxers Last Night.

Spike Sullivan outclaSsed Ralph
Johnson in a ten round Sparring ex-
hibition before the members of the
Topeka Athletic association last night.
Johnson took the place of Jack
Woods of Pauline, who was unable to
appear on account of injuries receiv-
ed in a wrestling contest at Wakarusa
Wednesday night.
Sullivan is veteran of the ring
His home is in Parkdale and he has
lived there practically all of his life
except while touring the country as a
boxer. Sullivan has been following
the fighting game for fifteen years but
appeared last night to demonstrate
his ability to his friends.
Sullivan allowed Johnson to do the
fighting while he protected himself
and only mixed up with his opponent
when necessary for his protection.
Johnson is Topeka boy but claims to

jack tars. Johnson delighted in
punching SuIlivan's tin ear.
Sullivan outpointed the younster
and convinced the members of the
cub that he has a good right punch
working that will produce sleep if
the occasion demands. The contest
was the most interesting affair that
has been staged in Topeka this sea-
son.
Three preliminaries and semi
final were staged before the Sullivan
johnson exhibition. In the semi-final,
Jack Wimbelby, formerly street car
conductor excelled Willie Wolff in
four rounds. They were scheduled to
go five rounds but Wimbelby was
forced to retire on account of injuries
to one of his hands which had been
broken on a former occasion. Wolff
contended that both of his hands were
sprained. Wimbelby punished Wolff on
several occasions but the latter was
game to the core.
Two local colored lads opened the
evenings entertainment with a three
round preliminary. They were follow
ed by Kid Kramer and Frog" Jami-
son, who went three rounds. Jack
Kennedy, a law student and Tom
Knapp, a high school student went
three rounds. All of the contests de-
lighted the fans and the affair proved
to be the most interesting entertain
ment that has been given by the asso-
citation this winter.

MY Brother Deggendorf of the
Potosi Journal calls it the "third
term bugaboo," and then instances
the cases of some county officials
who have served term after term
without protest from the Demo-
cratic press. If thai sort of logic
is sufficient to his understanding,
| will not attempt to controvert it.
But it is Bro. DIS declaration in
conclusion that takes the eye and
appals the reason. Here it is:
W. are for Roosevelt because we
feel that he can beat any man the
Democrats put up, and we don't
feel this way about Taft.
To this there is NO reply, When
to ''git thar is the one thing-is
made the sole consideration-the
fitness of the candidate, the well
fare of the Republic, and the per-
manency of our institutions, must
give way. Hail to Success, though

AS supplementary to an article
last week on the Henry resolution,
wherein | referred to the greed and
selfish heartlessness of the Money
Trust, | reproduce the following
excerpt from a speech delivered
in the Senate on the 18th inst. by
Senator Hepburn of Idaho:
MI. President, l think it appro-
pirate on this day and at this par
ticular time to call attention to
a fact in addition to those facts
referred to by the distinguished
Senator from Iowa, Mr.. Kenyon.
1t seems not to be generally
known that in July. 1864, when
Early's army was within the
limits of the District of Columbia,
overlooking the Capitol-and per.
haps all Senators have gone to
view that spot-at that hour when
the Government had tried to
raise, first, $50, 900, 900 of the
money lenders and had been
refused, on a 7 per cent. basis, and
then had tried to raise $50, 900, 600
of the money lenders and had
been again refused because of the
darkness of that hour, the soldiers
in the field loaned the Govern
ment Of the United States $40, 0O0,-
600 of their pay at the paymaster's
wagon. That money came into
the Treasury of the United States
and tided the Government over
that dark hour. These men are
those referred to by the Senator
from Iowa. They did that at the
expense Of the comfort of their
families and homes. The great
mass of the American people
to : day have forgotten, II
they ever knew it, that the fight
ing soldier on the battle field al
the paymaster's wagon contrib
uted out Of his own pittance $780,
100000 that came into the Treas
ury of the United States as a re-
buke to those who stayed at home
and boarded their wealth and re-
fused to buy Government bonds
or to loan the Government
money upon even better terms,
Let that not be forgotten, regard
less Of what pension bill is under
consideration.
