COLUMBUS. O. Oct; - John
ny kilbane. champion featherweight
of the world and a resident of Cleye-
land. demonstrated his ability here
tonight before one OF the largest
houses in the history of the pug
game in this city His opponent,
Johnny Albanese. a native son. was
unable to hit the champion.
The boys fought 10 rounds. straight
rules. OF course the fight was never
in doubt Albanese was game, how
ever. and tried to make il interest
ing. In fact, the only chance that the
Columbus boy had was to get over
a haymaker, but when the telegraph
blows We're started Kilbane was on
the other side of the ring.
The champion did not allow the
Columbus favorite to land more than
six clean blows, and Kilbane saw
that these lacked the steam before
he took them. The champ got il
whenever he pleased and landed
blows at will. His jabbing in the
latter rounds was marvel to the
Columbus people.
1t was evident. however, that he
did not care to store away Albanese
or he lacked steam. The crowd
thought that Albanese was a little
too husky to go down for the count.
kilbane could not get his jabs
through clean enough even for a
Touchdown.
In the closing rounds kilbane
opened his supply of speed. just II
show the crowd that he is a cham
pion. if they do say he lacks the
punch. The bout was one of the
cleverest ever staged in this cit,
and it made UP for poor prelmin-
aries and a bad semiwindup. Both
of the preliminaries ended rather
quickly, as alleged foul blows We're
landed Young Sully had the best OF
Kid Moore in the semiwind-up which
was holding match.

that you love him that a woman

Matt Brock Of Cleveland, boxed
Johnny Dundee of New York. re
Gently in New Orleans After the
bout Brock exhibited hole in hi
head which required half dozen
stitches 10 close up. This he re,
ceiyed in a peculiar manner while
boxing Dundee His head bled
throughout the fight, and the men
in his corner We're unable to stop
the f'ow OF blood After the con
test he went to see a doctor, and
after careful examination the medi-
cal man gave il as his opinion that
the hole had been made by coming
in contact With pundee's teeth. This
is the first time on record that a
boxer has received injuries in suoh
a manner.

coming campaign. Please say to any
one who values my judgment that
am heartily with you in demand for
a special committee. There are many
objections to an investigation by reg
ular committees but it is enough to
know that Wall street prefers regular
committees. We cannot afford to al,
low accused parties to select this jury.
Success to you. If our party is afraid
to offend the powerful financial inter.
ests that have fought us since 1896,
we cannot expect public confidence.

civilian Jennings Bryan
First the caucus turned down the
plan favored by Mr.. Bryan OF turning
the investigation over to a special
committee. The vote was ITS to &c.
In the debate following Mr.. Bryan
was criticised for intimating that the
committee leaned toward the financial
interests, and a resolution was passed
expressing confidence in the banking
and currency committee to which the
investigation was referred. The dem
ocrats seem to be preparing to go into
the campaign with their usual brand
of harmony

work becomes scarce in one city or
state, mechanics and laborers can
easily move to another city and state
and seek for work. The great dis
tances in our state make such moving
a great hardship and very expensive.
Advertisements in eastern papers
that wages of carpenters in Portland,
Ore, are 81 per day for eight hours,
with steady employment guaranteed.
can not be too strongly condemned.
The facts are that carpenters wages
in Portland are $3.50 to 81 per day,
hours range from eight to ten, and as
a rule there are three men looking for
each job. The same conditions pre-
vail in many other trades.
In conclusion the article states that
the labor council is panied to adver-
tise to the entire country the distress
among the people caused by these con-
ditions, but it feels it is it's duty to pro-
test against the unscrupulous eXploita-
ton Of deluded people.

SANE LIVING.

Undoubtedly one of the chief causes
of the high cost of living is to be
found In the fact that the average
American consumes every day much
larger quantity of food than his body
requires" says the Washington POSI-
"We are the greatest meat eaters IN
the world. The table which few
wears ago saw roast or steak or stew
on the board once day, now groans
beneath it's burden Of pork and beef
and mutton twice daily, or even three
times. The leg of lamb which former
" was sufficient for dinner two days,
now serves for but one meal. We eat
a greater variety Of food than we
need, too, and the average American
in moderate circumstances who cannot
have in addition to his roast two or
three vegetables, salad and dessert,
thinks he is being deprived of the
necessaries of life.
"Dr. Wiley believes that as a nation
we eat too much, and is not ashamed
to give his own case as a typical ex-
ample. With that lust for scientific
analysis which ever possesses him, he
has ascertained that he consumes
daily 5000 calorics of food, whereas
he could easily get along on 1000, ana
be the better for it, physically and
financially. That he INDUCES thus in
overlooking simply proves that he Is a
typical American. He admits that
he lacks the strength of character to
cut down his diet, and that is the
trouble with most of us. The man who
learns to control his appetite need not
worry If butter goes to so cents a
pound for week or two in midwinter.
He has a way to beat the Elgin board,
and Increase his health and vitality

Mr., TAFT As A PROGRESSIVE.

M
sThere are those in Mr.. Tafts own
party who regret that he is not pro
gressive." the Springfield, Mass, Re.
publican observes, "and they may read
with an enlightenment this passage IN
the presidents latest message to con-
gress:
".T am not in favor OF government
ownership where the same certainty
and eflciency of service can be had by
private enterprise, but think the con.
ditions presented in Alaska are OF
such a character as to warrant the
government, for the purpose OF en-
couraging the development OF that
vast and remarkable territory, to build
and own a trunk line railroad, when
II can lease on terms which may be
varied and changed to meet the grow
inc prosperity and development OF the
territory
"AIl that part of the message relat-
ING TO the economic development OF
Alaska is thoroughly progressive. the
president advocates the leasing of the
governments coal, ore and phosphate
lands. which is in accord with present
progressive opinion, and 1t will be not
ed BY careful readers of the message
that he declared himself In favor OF
the same leasing system for coal lands
still retained by the government I'D
the United States proper Had the
enormous coal and iron deposits OF
this country been kept from the BE-
ginning under government ownership
and control-in the states, under state
ownership and control-we should not
TODAY have a few railroad companies
monopolizing the anthracite coal bust
ness Of Pennsylvania nor should we
have a single corporation dominating
the iron and steel industry OF the
continent.
Regarding the water power sites re-
manning on government land within
state boundaries, the president in
dorses Secretary Fishers recommen-
ton. And that ought to be progress
sive enough for anybody. The govern
ment leases the site, according to this
plan, under certain conditions, ana
permits the state governmental regu.
late the rates at which the converted
power is sold. The older states, IN
which water power companies are
now securing absolute possession OF
power SITES from private land owners,
should reflect upon the advanced posi-
ton which the federal government IS
taking, We want no unregulated priv
ate water power monopolies In TINS
part of the country even II tnls
section has been settled ESQ years OF
more. The federal government IN TINS
matter is pointing the way"
