Riders VIII Dress in Asbestos
FireprOOf Toys for 'Dromers

TIME riders out at the local Motor
drome lie awake nights trying
to think Of something they can
put over on somebody else. They are
always getting something new with
this end in view. For instance, Nor
ty Graves has sent off for a new mo-
torcycle, Georges Renel has bought a
lot Of new parts for his motorcycle,
Manager Noon Hudson has another
suit of clothes, Harry Swartz has Il
new wife and Jack Prince always
has a fresh shower up his sleeve that
he let's out on race nights.
But it has remained for George
Lockner to spring the newest thing
an asbestos suit of clothes. He has
wired to St Louis for one and expects
it here in time for use at Wednesday
nights races.
These asbestos suits were intro
duced by a ST. Louis rider, Brownie
Carsiake, and are being rapidly
adopted by the other riders.
When They Are Needed.
In motOrdrome racing there are
two reasons why asbestos suits are
needed.
One reason is that the blooming
motorcycles. fed enormous quantities
of gasoline and splitting fire like an
old time dragon, are constantly
catching on fire. Naturally, this
would be bad enough under ord!-
nary circumstances, but the awful
complication arises from the fact that
they usually touch themselves off
while going at very high speed. The
machines are not supplied with
brakes and the rider must always
choose between sticking on and get
ting his clothes on fire or falling off
and breaking his neck Harry Lewis
one of the riders at the local Motor
drome, caught on fire the afternoon
of the opening meet, and only the
presence of the riders and a battery
of IRE extinguishers made It possible
to put him out. With an asbestos
suit this danger is removed. A man
may cook a bit while his machine IS
slowing down, but he viii not blaze.

COulOn Meets Burns
At KenOsha Tonight

KENOSHA, WIS, June 2s-
Johnny Coulon, bsntamweight cham
pfon Of the world, and Frankie
Burns, the Jersey City bantam, are
on the edge for their scheduled
ten-round battle here tonight.
Much interest is being displayed in
the affair, as this is to be the fourth
meeting between the pair. Ever
since Johnny was given a hair-line
decision over Burns at New Orleans
in twenty rounds on February Is,
1912, there has been a great deal of
rivalry between the boys.
The other bouts between the ban
tams were no decision affairs and
critics usually agreed that they were
about even up. AS this will be Cou-
Ions really first tough scrap in over
a year fans are anxiously awaiting
the outcome. Johnny is billed to
meet Kid Williams in a twenty-round
go on July % and his showing to-
night will have much to do in the
way the fans bet their money in the
title set-to. Coulon rules a 10 to 8
favorite over the Jersey City boy.

comes when a fall occurs. Going ut
high speed. a man is likely to slide
a hundred feet or so over the surface
Of the track. Frequently the friction
Of such a slide sets the clothes ablaze,
and the spectacle of a man on fire
maybe with a lot of bones broken, too
is not uncommon at motordromes.
With asbestos suits this danger is re-
moved No matter what the friction
is, the clothes can not catch on fire
AS the riders suits soon become i'm
pregnated with oil and are occasion
ally dashed with gasoline, they are
highly inflammable. and the fear OF
being burned to death Will probably
drive all the local riders to the ashes
tos suit stunt.
Plans are going forward at the To-
cal 'drome for the meeting Wednes-
day night The program which was
rained out on Saturday night will be
carried through at that time, with the
Mayor Woodward Sweepstakes as the
feature.

THE case OF Johnnie Dundee is a
remarkable one.
Here is a classy boy one Of
the top-notch featherweights Of
America, who, after splitting a draw
decision with the worlds champion
Of that division. voluntarily steps in

And he is sure TO find II.
Dundee chased Johnnie Kilbane
around the Vernon ring until both
were leg weary. As a reward for his
aEressiveness the Italian was given
a draw. There was no argument,
but that Of the two, Dundee was the
most willing TO make a fight.
Following this affair Kilbane Went
back on the easy money trail after

eases, accidents and deaths. No other country has so much as our own permit ted individuals to disregard, to a crim- inal extent, the health and welfare of employees. I dare say no other nation has so many cases of illness wholly due to preventable industrial causes as the United States. The workingmen who are crushed, crippled or killed, who con- tract incurable diseases, who are poisoned or who are incapacitated by carelessness, insanitary conditions, or dangerous mach inery, are so numerous i'll this day that in a very few decades we shall look back upon this period as one of downright barbarism. No one can help Knowing that sickness is caused by vile tenements, by dangerous employments and unsan- itary workshops; furthermore, no one can fail to know that all excessive num- Der of deaths occur among the working people employed i'll certain industries and live ill certain tenements. The cause and effect are clear. Then why does not the owner or employer remedy the cause of sickness, poverty and death? ''He probably does not know 1t exists" IS the ordinary answer. But 1t is no an- swer. Attempt to remedy the evils by legislation, or by enforcement of the laws, and then you begin to realize that you are in a fight and that, for one reason or another, the landlords and em- ployers are against you. Every move ment you make is watched and attacked. Even bribery will be used to defeat san itary measures; that is to say, measures to save life. Now the conclusion one is forced to draw from all experience of that sort is not pleasant one, but the logic by which one reaches the conclusion seems clear and certain These men are murderers.
 This is a strong indictment, but who is willing to undertake to refute MT Hunters statement of facts and his con clusion that the employing and landlord classes are responsible to very large degree for the sickness and disease among tue working class?
 But these men do rot have to work in

difference to the officer who is removed what you may call the procedure so long as 1t results in his deserved re- moval nor do I think it makes any difference to the public what you may denominate the procedure, whether inn peachment, removal or recall, or what not, so long as it is practical and eff ective in bringing about removal ill proper cases
 What am insisting upon is that we recognize and realize the fact that the fathers attached no quality of infallib- ility to any public officer, not even judges, but wisely provided for the re- moval of all unfaithful officers.
 The fathers of the Federal Constit- ution not only made provision for the removal of all public officers, but the fathers of the state constitutions like wise provided for the removal of public officers
 It is a matter of real absorbing interest to study, observe the growth development and use of the various delegated powers of the Federal Con- stitution.
 If the fathers were right in recogniz- ing the transcendent importance of the right to remove i'll proper cases, and the legislative departments, upon whom that power has been conferred, have absolutely failed to act in the exercise of that power for half a century or more, is not that in itself sufficient to make the people pause and consider as to whether or not they should not now recall that delegated power, and return ts their own hands the right and power to recall public officers {?
 Can you, in your lifetime, recall a single instance of the impeachment of a judge by the legislature of Illinois Can I, i'll my lifetime, remember a single instance of the impeachment of a judge by the Ohio legislature Or has our poor mortal clay, with all it's inirmities and weakness, become in fallible and divine under the judicial ermine If so, how can we account for the widespread and deep-seated discontent with courts, their procedure and their final judgments
 It will not do to say that this feeling of unrest and dissatisfaction as to the present administration of justice is the work of a few agitators or a radical part of the press. That is paying an undeserved com p1im ent to them as molders of public opinion
 But, allowing for exaggeration of statement, prejudice of opinion, dis appointment of suitors, and all such, measured merely by the calm deliberate dissenting opinions of the judges them selves, I ask you, have not the people good cause to withdraw and withhold their confidence in courts touching their failures in the administration of speedy and substantial justice equitab1y and economically administered
 It would be impossible to itenlize or classify all of the grievances against courts that have been mentioned and discussed The most serious and inn portant ones could well be embraced Ill some one of the following classes
 First. Too much delay.
 Second. Too much expense.
 Third. Too-much uncertainty in the law.
 Fourth. Too much idolatry of ancient sacred. If the ancient condition has long since passed the precedent should

THE RECALL OF JUDGES

| tora1 college does in the choice of presi- dent.
 Through it all we see a general with drawal of delegated power from the cleo toral college, the congressional caucus, the political convention, in nominating and electing president, withdrawal of delegated power from tho state legisla- lures in the nomination and election of United States senators, and, ere long, at least in the state governments, provision will be made for the withdrawal of the delegated power from the state 1egisla- ture for the removal of judges and other public officers, and the same to be placed and exercised by the direct vote of the people themselves.
 Today there is 10 serious objection to the people exercising the right of remov- al as to the 1eges1ative officers or execu- tive officers for misconduct in office, but in many quarters particularly the bench and the bar, there is a holy hostile horr- or against the excercise of the right to remove judges.
 For the correction of the aforesaid grievances and complaints against judges through recall by popular vote under proper safeguards, I submit the follow ing for your calm and careful considera- ton:
 First. Every reasonable argument ap- plicable to the removal of legislative and i executive officers by popular vote ap- plies equally to judicial officers. If not, what does not?
 Second. As to the judiciary, there is absolutely no check or balance from either of the other branches of the gov ernment. Legislative branches are a check on each other The governor may check the legislature by veto. Courts may check the legislature and declare the law unconstitutional, or limit its ap- plication. The executive may be check ed or have his power cut off or limited by legislative act or judicial injunction.
 Again, the legislative and executive branches are under the constant publicity of the press. Comparatively little is known about the judicial branch. Ire sponsible, unchecked power is within step from actual tyranny, or sinister subserviency to special interest.
 Third. Courts are now exercising jurisdiction i'll this country exercised i'll no other civilized country in the world. l refer particularly to judgments decIar- ing legislative acts contrary to state and federal constitutions and against sound public policy.
 No English court for more than two hundred years has held an act of parlia- ment unconstitutional. Such jurisdic- ton had not been exercised by any English court for seventy five years prior to the formation of our Federal constitu- ton. The fathers never intended to confer such extraordinary jurisdiction, then unknown, else they would have provided for 1t in the constitution. It is an usurpation of judicial power.
 The excercise of this unwarranted and usurped governmental power against the public interest, against the public health, safety and life, has done more than any other single thing to arouse the present popular hostile feeling toward our courts of last resort

THE CAUSE OF IDLENESS


 Before entering into an analysis of the real causes of the unemployment ofsthe wage workers, I wish to consider the above table briefly, i'll order to puncture some of the glaring falacies spread broad cast by capitalist writers and speakers. The real causes of unemployment, as we shall see presently, are not hinted at by MT. Wright and his co-1aborers.-
 We are calmly told by a group of self satisfied reforners that drunkenness causes idleness---hence misery and deg radiation. Abolish the liquor trrfic, and you end idleness'
 MT. Wright's investigation shows that one-fourth of one per cent of the idleness which he found existing among the working class was caused by drunken ness. It may be we'll to remark says MT. Wright, 'that 1t is quite probable that drunkenness ill some cases was re- ported as sickness by the forebearing wife when giving data for the schedule. !" Assuming that this is true to a certain extent, that the figures given are not far from wrong, one has but to remember that MT. Wright tells us the average workingman s family spends 25 cents a week for liquor As oue-half of the fam flies investigated reported 10 expend- iture for liquor it would leave all aver age expenditure for each workingman who did spend his money ill riotous 1iv- ing of 50 cents per week. Fifty cents per week wouldn't go very far towards habitual drunkenness. lii the absence of any more definite figures on this par ticular phase of id1eness, we must ac- cept the conclusions of the Labor Com- missioner, as approximately correct---in which case drunkenness among the work ing class as a cause of id1eness may be dismissed as of little importance.
 Driven to thewa1l on this proposition, the bourgeois economist, anxious to throw the responsibility fer chronic idle ness upon the working class, points to the long array af strikes, we are told, that in all cases and at all times inaugurated by the men. Assuming that this is true. we find charged up against them responsibility for 2.O7 per cent of the idleness we find iu this country. Add this to the .26 of one per cent charged against drunkenness, and we find, ac- cording to the best figures produced by the capitalist class, less than 5 per cent of the appalling total of id1eness which exists in the United States, at time when the country is enjoying a gratify- ing period of prosperity, chargeable to the working class.
 You surely will not charge our ben efcent system with the idleness caused by sickness, protests the capitalist apol- ogizer.
 will let MT. Robert Hunter answer this question, as follows;
 There is. no other nation, comparable to the United States, which is so backward as this country in it's knowledge, in it's legislation, in its ad- machinery for dealing with the insanitary conditions in factories, mines and workshops, and in preventing or regulating those dangerous processes in industry which are responsible for a very large number of unnecessary dis
