striking feature was the action OF many

meetings the candidacy Of Jones for gov

is noted at other meetings by the selection
of delegates known to favor Judge Jones

The Retirement of Prof Bradley

Many friends of Prof. W. 3. Bradley are
sorry that he will, after the expiration Of
this term, be no longer connected with the
Abbeyille school, which institution he has
served for fifteen years-a much longer
term than any other teacher ever served
this people. No man ever served 1t longer
or more a~cceptably to a host OF friends.
One of the most beautiful testimonials to
be found today in the friendship and the
fidelity of those whom he taught years
ago.

Jimmy Perry Wins Fast Mill From Tommy Devln
Ten Rounds Of Rapid Action at Gate City Club

Of the best blows he landed during
the ten rounds.
John Willie. who was in Devlin's
corner, jumped into the ring when
Tommy located the soft spot on the
floor, and many of Perry's friends
thought the referee should have de-
clared him the winner right then
and there. But Willie jumped back
to the floor as soon as he saw Dew
lin was not injured As both boys
were still fun of action, it would
have proven a big disappointment
to the fans to have declared Jim
my a winner on such a teehnicalitY
The seventh and eighth rounds
were all Perrys. and While he land
ed many telling blows he found
Devlin too clever to stop. In the
ninth Jimmy eased up bit and the
milling was fairly even during this
period
In the final session Perry fought
at top speed A right hook to the
jaw dropped Devln for the count
of nine. and when he arose and
rushed in close Perry worked on
the body with-beth hands. and the
final bell sure brought joy to the
game little Quaker

Resolutions Passed Against Mill

Commended.

Ever opposed to the training of the
children in the public schools for the
military, organized labor leaves no stone
unturned to create sentiment against
the military and the war spirit An at
tempt is being made at this time to abol-
ish the high school cadets by the school
board, and the Trades Assembly Sunday
gave the move impetus by the adoption
of the following resolution, introduced
by Delegate Vaughn of Painters union
No. 10:
Denver Colo, June 8, 1912.
To the Officers and Delegates of the
Trades and Labor Assembly:
Whereas, The high school cadets con
nected with our public schools have been
and are at the present time promoted by
the same interests that prompted the In
PRODUCTION of the Civic Federation, Boy
Scouts and other like measures to assist
the ruling classes to further curtail the
liberties of the industrial classes OF the
country, and,
Whereas, We are strenuously opposed
to having our boys educated, especially
in our public schools and indirectly at our
own expense, in this training school or
kindergarten for legalized murder; be IT
Resolved, That we most heartily com
mend and cooperate in all ways in the
agitation started to abolish this unnec-
essary, undemocratic and snobbish ad-
junct to our public school system.
