This battle be- tween the Hoosier middle weight and the African champion was great sporting event, and fans gathered in Iohannesburg from all over South Af- rica, and even from Australia. Eng fish officers and Boer officials and all the Americans in the country were there to cheer their favorttes.- The bout was for $5,00O q side and a slice of the receipts. Doherty was the fla Vorite, and looked the better man in the ring, but after three rounds the odds favored the clever Hoosier, who fought rings around his clumsy an atgonist.

A KINGS WoRDY OFFENsE.

King Constantine Of Greece, who
made for himself great military fame
as leader of the Grecian armies in the
late war, has been visiting Berlin, and
while there be paid a great tribute to
the German army and to German mill
tary efficiency, claiming that what sue
cess be attained in the war was due to
his military training in German schools.
This fulsome eulogy Of Germany and
Of German militarism gave great offense
to France, and so King Constantine hur-
ried to France and at once undertook
to smooth the irritation created, and to
express fervent gratitude to France for
her "precious support" in the war
This, however, does not meet the case,
and the French feelings are still ruff
fed at what is held to be the "false
step' into which Constantine was led
by his efforts to be appreciative and
polite during his visit in Germany.
Even in Greece there has been indi-
cation that Constantine g acquiescence
In the Kaiser s assumption that the
Greek victories were due to German
training, is irritating, But Constantine
was practically compelled to assent to
the aggressive lead Of the German EN-
peror or seem rude, since the welcome
extended by the Kaiser expressly as
sumed that it was with German train
ing and with German ideas that the
Greeks won the victories.
There is, however, another possible
view to take Of it, that might soothe
the French pride, although it would an.
noy the German Emperor most scandal
ously; and that is that it was the Ger
man training of the Turkish armies
and the inefficiency Of the German ar
tillery that allowed the Greeks, the
Bulgarians, and the Servians to obtain
such easy victory over the Turks. This
inferiority of the German artillery used
by the Turks, as compared with the
Bulgarian artillery, which was French,
made good deal of irritation as be-
tween France and Germany last year.
Germany was chagriued at the contrast,
and France correspondingly elated.

IT IS QUITE CONSISTENT.

We note that our esteemed contem-
porary, the Springfield (Mass.) Repub-
lican, fails to see the consistency of lik.
ening the proposed support Of loan Cor
bribe as Senior Gamboa calls it) in Mex
leo by our government, In case Presl-
dent Wilson's overtures were accepted,
this as compared with the withdrawal
of the United States from the six-pow-
er loan to China. Tho Republican holds
that the withdrawal by our government
from that financial proposition in China
is quite consistent with undertaking on
our own account to get loan for Mex
leo in case President Wilson's interior
ence In Mexican affairs Is accepted,
For ourselves, we fail to see the IN
appropriateness of contrasting one with
tho other, and holding that the action
Of the administration in dropping one
and favoring the other is inconsistent.
For, consistency would require that the
same measure that we mete out to
China should be measured also unto
Mexico; and If we are out of the dollar
diplomacy business in China, we should
be out Of it in Mexico.
The Republican admits that the Lind
proposal that the Wilson administra-
tion would advise our fnanciers to eI-
tend such loan TO Mexico in case
Huerta accepted the Wilson PROPOSE
tions Golfers a bad precedent" but
still, It thinks that nc parallel can well
be drawn between that and the with
drawal from the Chinese loan. If af-
firms that the six.power loan was pro-
jected for the purpose of keeping China
in subsection to the powers and Gear
ried with it provisions that menaced
Chinese independence. But right there
is where the concurrence of the United
States in that loan was the most val
liable. We were not insiStent upon any
conditions, nor engaged in any exploita-
tion aside from the straight financial
proposition. We have never at any time
menaced Chinese independence. On the

WORKING, THE PARCEL POST.

Postmaster General Burleson has been
doing a good deal Of adjusting on the
weights and rates Of the parcel post
service. Under the law as passed, the
Postmaster General is given large dis
cretion in these matters; he can prac
tically remodel the law to suit himself.
And Mr.. Burleson has not been slow
to "magnify his calling" by taking
advantage Of this situation. Both the
Senate and House were resentful at the
assumption Of Postmaster General Bur
Lesson in going to the extent that he
has In changing the weights and rates,
and the Senate Committee on Postal
Affairs cited him to appear to show
why he issued the order that he did.
1t was quite easy for Mr. Burleson to
make this showing, and the Senators
who called for 1t were utterly discom-
fitted. Then the demand Immediately
arose for an amendment Of the law so
that the will Of Congress In place of
the will Of g department official should
prevail in this matter. But it is not
jIholy Iueio SouBIeco Will udio 10 luUeG-
fero with the order, for that order
suits the people; it gives them greater
liberty in weight and lower charges in
transporting parcels. And so the order
will stand, and the Postmaster General
will be the champion of the people.
But yet, there is serious discrep-
ancy in the regulations; for, as ex-
planned, under the new parcel post
rates it is possible to send a package
weighing il pounds from Boston to
Albany for Is cents, but TO send the
same package from Boston to New
York, which is in the third zone, the
rate is 81 cents, nearly four times as
much as in the Albany Boston zone
But discerning ones have noted that
packages that are destined for New
York. can be sent from Boston to
Springfield, Mass, for Is cents, and
then for 10 cents more, making 80 cents
in all, the package can be forwarded
to New York; the double charge being
30 cents, in place Of the initial zone
charge Of 81 cents BY this balving of
the route Of shipment n saving of q
cents in the gross charge is made.
OF course, the same sort of thing can
be worked in other places than Boston
and op other routes than that IL is
evident, therefore, that some better
digcsted system in the parcel post serv.

HANDS OFF AMERICAN scHooLsl

The dispatches which tell of the
raids by Greeks upon American schools
in Albania, raise very serious ques-
ton. These schools, to be sure, are
not under the protection Of the United
States; but still, so far as American
citizens and American property are in
volved in the seizure and bad treat
ment, the United States would be
obliged to take notice OF the outrages
reported, demand that they shall cease,
aud require that reparation be made
for the destruction committed.
In the meantime. as we have no dip
lomatic representative in the immediate
vicinity, tho British Consul has made
emphatic protests in behalf of the
United States against the outrages
These protests it will well become the
Grecian government to heed; and it
will be necessary for that government
to disavow the outrages committed, and
TO bring to just account those officers
Of tho Grecian army who have had
any part in either committing the out
IdSco VI ttipN'hS OHNhi " 10 DOullnlI-
ted by soldiers under their command.
The Albapians appear to be well dis
posed to tho American schools. The
dispatches do not make any mention
Of their committing any outrages upon
the schools In these dispatches the
Greeks are explicitly blamed But it
is wonder that the Greeks should com
nit any outrages Of this kind, since the
Grecian government has always been
kindly disposed towards Americans, and
since Il considerable number of the
best troops in the Grecian army hast
eued from America to infuse American
vigor and stamina into the army which
last year made such havoc among the
Turks
We feel confident that the Grecian
| government will disavow these outrages,

ice than that now in force must be de-
vised. OF course, it may not he diff

present thore is this serious failure 20
make the proper rates, and the shrcwd
ones arc able, accordingly, TO take nd
vantage by splitting tho route in two
and obtaining two shorter rates, each
considerably below the larger rate. 1t
is an anomaly which, of course, will be
corrected, but il seems that workable,
exact plan should have been stated in
the rates as established.

THE STATE FAIR TOMORROW.

Everything Is in good state of
preparedness for the opening Of the
State Fair tomorrow. The counties
have been aroused to the importance Of
making county exhibits to greater
extent than ever before. The choos
ing Of County Queens has been an ad
mirable feature to arouse the general
and personal interest Of the communi-
ties in the fair We look, therefore, to
SEQ not only q far greater general in.
terest in the fair throughout the State
than ever before, but warm special in.
terest in county unified exhibits and in
the loyal adherence and support that
will attach to the conspicuous services
Of their Queens In drawing attraction
to the county exhibits and to the Fair
as a whole.
The managers Of the Fair have been
unusually fertile In resources the pres
ent year, and they have taken e1traor-
dinary pains to prepare everything In
the best possible manner for the open
ing and general conduction Of the Fair.
Besides this, the year has been an un.
usually productive one in all agdcul
tural yields. The output of fruits of
different varieties has been conspicu
ously large and good, SO exhibits bet
ter than ever before may be confident
ly expected.
On all accounts, therefore, we may
| expect to see far greater attendance
than ever before at the State Fair thi:
year. and we look also to see those
who attend get better satisfaction out
Of their attendance than ever before

THE PROGRESSIVE PROGRAMME

A New York dispatch in The Trib-
uno yesterday morning states that fif-
teen members Of the Progressive Ma
tional Committee met there on Friday
and decided that at the next Congress
sional election a Progressive candidate
would be put IN nomination in every
Congressional district in the United
States. 1t docs not appear that Colo
mel Roosevelt was present at this
meeting, but doubtless the programme
az announced has his approval
Further than this. Representative
Hinebaugh Of Illinois. chairman Of the
Progressive Congressional Committee,
declared that the Progressives had no
intention of joining the Republicans
or recognizing such thing rs Pro-
gressive Republican in the Progressive
party. He insisted that tho Progress
sive party and the Republican party
are entirely distinct entities, and that
no ono could be a member Of both par
ties; "to be q Progressive, n man
must be straight Progressive said
Mr.. Hinebaugh A general campaign
committee was organized, Of which
Colonel Roosevelt was made chairman,
and the announcement was made that
vigorous efforts would be made to
elect straightout Progressive candi-
dates for Congress in the Congression-
al campaign next year.
Needless to point out, tho result Of
such a campaign would be to defeat
the Republican candidates in many
Congressional districts of the North,
where they might otherwise win, and
to elect Democrats. This result in the
Congressional districts of tho North
would make the Democratic majority
in the next Congress even greater than
in this. Tho Progressives cannot hope
to elect many members Of Congress.
All that it is practical for them to do
is to defeat the Republican candidates.
The Progressive leaders must fully uD-
derstand the effect Of their programme
and plan, and if the programme agreed
on is adopted with open eyes, it would
simply mean that the Progressives
want to brighten the Democratic party
prospects. It would be a spite cam
paign altogether, directed to punish
the Republican party because that
party would not consent to nominate
Colonel Roosevelt for the Presidency
last year.
But with Colonel Roosevelt in ac-
tive aid of such programme as this,
the possibility Of his nomination by
the Republican party in 1916 would
be altogether crushed.
In taking this action, the Progress
sives are simply acting towards the
Republican party precisely as the
Populists acted towards the Democratic
party In the time of Populistic vigor
In 30 acting, the Populists kept the
Democrats the "under dog" in the
political arena Ia the United States
for many years. In following that
same path, the Progressives can in like
manner submerge the Republican party
and keep it out Of power as long as
Roosevelt sentiment can hold the Pro
gressive party together. The Pro
gressive organization, therefore, can
be made effective as against the Re-
publican party, but not helpful with
respect to itself. Its aid goes to the
Democratic party, and to that alone.
