The same eight men, outside of the

ponent of scientific left hand milling,
against a teaming contractor of Bos-

whose ambition is to put his own
brand on one Cowboy Luther McCarty,
the boss OF the white giants of the
ring. The latter affair is expected
to develop an opponent for McCarty
and also to create a demand for a
heavyweight championship bout July 4.

hams, derelicts of the prize ring,
met in the county jail here yester-
cay and barking back in argument

hold an immediate return bout.
Referee, timekeeper and seconds
were chosen from their fellow pris-

and groggy when the courthouse

mop. Again the decision was a
draw.

We think that Governor Blease is
correct in his letter to President Will
son. We have often wondered why
the United States government would
continue to issue licenses. to indivi-
duals or social clubs to sell liquor in
territory where its sale is prohibited
by State law. If the law requires
licenses to be issued, the suggestion
of Governor Blease, that congress
amend the law, is a good one. 1t
would seem from the passage by
congress Of the Webb law that it was
the intention of congress to have the
laws of congress as to the sale of IL
quors conform to State statutes.
There is not much use of the Webb
law if the United States government
is going to continue to issue licenses
to sell whiskey in prohibition terri
tory.
