plan for champion Coulon to go fret
ting because he cannot get on with
the Baltimore battler. Williams. like
Knockout Brown, is one of those awk-
ward lefthanded smuggling machines
that starts going at the inaugural bell
and never Stacks up his pace until the
referee awards the verdict. This little
fellow is without question the one
bright star in the eastern fistic firma-
ment, who in a year or so may be
looked up to as the champion of that
division
In the featherweight ranks the east
has a wonderfully clever little fellow
in Patsy Kline, who is a product of
This battler has gone through the
whole gauntlet Of feathers along the
Atlantic coast much in the same man
ner as water goes through a sieve.
This, however, signifies little for the
lads who are to be found in New ork
and the surrounding fight districts of
the east are n long distance from be-
ing anything like championship tim Der.
Just what Kline could do to a lad con-
strCcted along the lines Of a champion
remains question in the minds ot the
fight fans. There is no one in the
east that can approach Kline for abil-
ity in the ring Al belmont, who halls
from Boston, Mass, and who, like
Kline, is a descendant of the Italian
race, is the nearest competitor of the
whole lot, to the Newark man, but
Hines two wins over him in success
sion marks him as a lone figure in his
class in the east, due to the fact that
belmont has scored over all the other
medium weight little fellows.
AS for star nghtweights, why we
have few of them. Knockout Brown
is gone as far as a championship pos
sibility is concerned. Leach Cross is
cut of it and Young O'Brien, of Phila-
delphia, is the only real good one to
my mind. As for heavyweights, we
have none. Jim Stewart has the build
for a champion, but he is too faint
hearted to ever win over a tough nut
Tom Kennedy is not of the right class
and Joe jeanette is not what the pa
pers tout him. Jack Johnson will beat
him easily if they ever meet. Sam
Langford is the best of the bunch, to
my mind. outside of Johnson, and the
latter don't deserve the boosting he
gets because ne has never fought but

HAT the boxing game Is being IN
jured by the boxers themselves is
4 my opinion. I think the promot-
ers are foolish for standing for hold
ups, by the boxers of all classes.
Nothing contributes more to the
roor condition of the eastern fight sit
uarion that the fighters themselves. In
thu cities along the banks of the At
IaEtie the game at present is in very
poor shape and this is due no doubt to
the fact that the fighters who can help
10 make it look like a million would
rather take a so cent view of the sit
uation. Crazed by the enormous purses
offered the champions of their classes
the second raters who in years past
were willing to battle for nominal
sum. are at present demanding cham
l.ionship purses of the promoters Of
boxing in the east. This is the real
cause for the game to take downward
course For instance, fellows like
Leach Cross, Harlem Tommy Murphy.
Knockout Brown and a dozen others
who, a year or two ago, when they
were being heralded as corners in their
classes, were willing to enter the ring
in a 10 rounder for $500, are today de-
manding for their services Just twice
and three times that amount COnse-
Quently the promoters of boxing are
forced to advance their prices Of ad-
mission and in turn the public refuses
10 pay the admission fees charged for
a second rate battle, and this is the
solution of the cause that is affecting
the boxing Of the Atlantic coast so
-disastrOusly.
In making a comparative review of
the fighters themselves it must be con-
ceded that the west far outclasses the
east in this respect While there is
an abundance of promising material
lettering about in the eastern coast
cities, there are few, If any, boys who
right now could go into a ring with
any one of the present day champions
and hold his own, much less be award
ed the verdict over the titlehOlder.
There might be possibly one exception
to this statement in the form of Kid
Williams. a sturdy little lad who halls
from Baltimore, Nd, the city made IA
nous a few years back by the unbeat-
able Joe Cans. This little yOungster
has seen but q little over q years ser
vice in the rOped arena and during that
time he has taken big and rapid
strides toward the top. This little fell
low has met and disposed of all east
ern bantams in manner that can
mark him as a possible contender for

President Taft and Primaries.

President Taft has declared himself
in favor of Presidential primaries when
they can be held under the safeguard
and with the sanction of law. 1t is
true that that there are only six States
in which, under iegalized methods. such
primaries can be held; but in indorsing
the action of the Massachusetts leg
islature, which has just enacted pri-
mary law, he answers the assertion that
he is opposed to popular rule.
The President has taken an unasssil-
able position. He accepts the laws
which have already been enacted and
he approves what has been done in
Massachusetts,. He is right, too, in
saying that primaries which are held
outside of the pale of the law are TN
trustworthy. We have a demonstration
in the District of Columbia of pri-
maries which have no legal recognition,
and the conditions here would be re-
peated in the States upon a larger
scale.
The Washington herald., 1912-03-19
Railroad Accidents.

The suggestion has been made that
imperfect rails may not, after all, be
the initial cause of the numerous rail-
road accidents which have been report
ed and which are ascribed to this cause.
1t is pointed out, for instance, that
while the broken rail is generally in
evidence, the fact remains that the ac-
cidents occur only to swiftly-moving
trains, and it is intimated that the speed
of the trains, rather than any defect
in the rails themselves, is the real
cause of the disaster.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, in its investigation into the &C
cidents, will undoubtedly give consid-
Grafton to every point of view. The
interest of the public, however, is not
in an academic discussion of the cause.
The occurrence of these tragedies is the
one important, not-to-be-forgotten and
unfortunate fact, and whatever may be
their basis, there ought to be some
remedy which will insure safety to the
travelling public.
The Washington herald., 1912-03-19
High Pressure Fire Protection.

The interviews printed in The Wash
ington Herald yesterday morning PLAIN
" demonstrate that the business men
of the city are not willing to relinqulsh
all hope of securing the high pressure
fire protection service which has been
adversely reported upon by the District
Commissioners. The attitude of these
officials is based upon the disinclina-
ton of insurance agents to reduce the
cost of insurance even if the new serv-
ice should be established.
This reason, while not altogether sat
isfactory, must nevertheless be accept
ed, and the much-desired improvement
is inevitably postponed. That it will
eventually be installed, however, admits
of no manner of doubt 1t proposes, as
is well known, to connect the reservoir
upon Fort Reno, the highest point OF
land in the District, with the business
portion of the city, and thus enable the
FIRE department to cope with any con-
fagration that might threaten that dis
trict. 1t is a perfectly practicable prop
osition and would, when completed, af-
ford a feeling of safety which does not
now exist
1t is not a luxury, but an absolute
necessity and could be installed without
increasing taxation or adding to the
debt Of the District

Records of the Candidates.

Surely the way of a Presidential can
didate is hard. Woodrow Wilson has
made enemies through his books and
his letters: Gov Harmon is the target
for Bryan's attacks, and now Champ
Clark, who seemed TO have been in the
happy position of immunity, is being
criticised because in a speech in the
House long ago he declared that he
was free trader, in favor of destroy
ing the custom-houseS, and because the
Congressional Record fails TO report
his vote upon the Democratic bill abol-
ishing the duty upon sugar. In the
latter instance it is said that the sig
nihcance of the omission is his desire
to avoid antagonism in the beet and
cane sugar growing States. Speaker
Clark has, however, met the statement
with prompt explanation of a clerical
error.
Every man who aspires to public Of
fee must expect that his record will be
thoroughly examined 1t is right that
this should be the case Publicity, after
all, is the great safeguard for the peo-
pie. When they are called upon to vote
for or against any man, they should
have in their possession every available
fact concerning him. Nor has the can
didate any excuse for complaint. 1t is
his record which entities him to public
confidence or condemnation.
The newspapers of the present day
are the great forums of the people. It
is in their columns that the records Of
public men are made known. Nearly
all of them are independent and print
the news fearlessly and accurately.
Those which publish biased and un-
truthful accounts are soon discounted
by the great mass of intelligent people.
who want the facts presented without
fear or favor and who then exercise
the privilege of making up their own
minds.
