1t is not our purpose 70 unduly celebrate Mr..
klbane's prowsss in the squared circle or TO
hold him up. however unconsctousiy as a model
for young America We would much regret the
circumstance IL it happened that February %
should hereafter be known the day on which
Abe Attell met his Waterloo, rather than that
on which the Father of His Cosntry saw the
light In these matters we shall hope for the
best while at the same time pointing such a
moral AS Mr. kilbane, despite his profession,
holds out to the world.
Mr.. Kilbane. learn, is 23 years old: mar.

is of exemplary habits: is strict church men,
Der: is devoted to his family, and earns with
his fists the liberal support which he gives a
blind father
The point is. not that Mr. Kilbane, the sue.
eessful pug, possesses these virtues but that,
without the virtues, he could scarcely have
hoped to be successful pug. That this Is true

effects of allied vices, in which all OF the craft
conscientiousy seeped themselves There came
d time, however when the rewards of the prize
ring appealed to man who brought to It the
precedent of sobrety. AS a result, the drunkard
among prize fighters is as rare, rarer, than
is the case with other trades or professions
Even the promoters OF brutal pastime realize
that, whatever the association Of the prize ring
may be- and however free it may be of either
caste or decency, its physical requirements de-
mand the physical virtues which, to the ordi-
nary mind, so largely constitute what We call
morality"
1t would be well if this lesson of kilbane's
inpeccable habits could be learned, with all its
suggestions by every one of those boys who are
in preliminary training for conflict with life.

whose failures are incomparably greater and
more tragic than are dreamed OF in the purest
prize ring philosophy.

BUSINESS MEMS NEGLECT.

II Is poor reason to urge-as was done at

measure is lacking the support of the various
business organizations OF Richmond

business Mems Club. has taken the trouble to
align itself with this movement. surely such i
failure should not be taken to prejudice the
formal action OF the city in tathering 1t. Re

before the General Assembly involve no more
than the reasonable requirement that manu-.

effect of their use of them. 1t is true that some
expense is involved. but 1t is neither crushing
nor unreasonable. Science has devised the
means by which the manufactures use the
streams without injury to their waters and the
danger to the health of those that
use them. The matter is one Of public policy

should have withheld their support from this
bill. We do however, deny on information and

plea FOR the county ticket. claiming
Ihat IL was named in the open pri-

AS The election draws near, there
seems To be a growing sentiment
throughout the county that the Re-

ported by Progressives as well as Re-
publicans. Even those who are sup
porting the campaign OF Col. Roose-
Welt in national politics seem impress
ed vita the idea that as they helped
to name the Republican county ticket
they should support it. AS the Re-
publican ticket is composed of men of

that Progressives as wen as Repub-
Leans should unite against their com
