DANGER IN THE PRIZE RING.

When it was announced from west ern Canada that the f1stic battle be- tween two aSpirants for heavyweight championship had resulted in the death Of Luther McCartv it was nat uraI to suppose that Pelkey would be obliged to answer to the law. and that the ban on fighting or boxing would be made much more strict. but the subsequent developments, with the ex- oneratiOn of the delfverer of the fatal blow changes the situation McCarty as the autopsy shows was in excel lent health, physically able to with stand the bodily defacement which his opponent might iniict, and that in stead of a diseased heart being rup- tured he has received a blow which chanced to reach a fatal spot. It was a circumstance which might happen in any such gloved fight, whether fight CTS or boxers.
 Fatalities have not been many in the prize ring when com pared with most any other line of sport. but they are on the list of possibilities from various reasons just so long as fights are permitted to be held. The Me Carty death adds nothing new as an argument against prize fighting from what has long existed. There would he the same reason for eliminating boxing, with it's fine distinction. Many states will not permit the prize fight and are strict about the public box ing exhibit, but it is apparent that if death in the prize ring is to be en- rirely eliminated, the only way is to abolish the prize fight, and thus over come the risk which men are willing to take because they are allowed to.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The Facts About Walter H. Page.

MT, Editor: So much is being said nowadays about Waleer H. Page, the man that President Wilson has select ed to fill the post formerly filled with honor and dignity by the late Hon. WhlteIaW Reid, and many others. 1t is natural to ask why is he opposed by the London Trades council for that position?
 Walter H. Page is the man who re- moved his publishing business from New York city that he might be free from union conditions and need not longer pay union wages. Walter H. Page is the same Walter H. Page that published one or more of President Woodrow Wilson's books before he be- came president by the votes of thou sands of labor union members
 The fact of Walter H. Page being Mir. Wilson's publisher, the fact that Walter H. Page was a successful pub fisher, is about the only qualification he appears to have for the great post. Think of the great democrats-our own Little Giant Thomas M Waller, for instance-Who could be found ca pablo and deserving of such high post.
 It looks to me as if man who goes to the Court of St. James as an Amer ican representative should at least be an American in ideas and no man can accuse one who has so bitterly op- posed union labor of being an Ameri- can in ideas.
 Of course. when a man Is selected for superintendent of a mill he is ex- pected to name his own oVerseer. but how long would he last if he selected men who did not measure up to the re- quIrements of the positions they were to hold? Even though those men had been former business aids or asso ciates
 The formal objection made by 5o,000 union men of London and by the AL lied Printing Trades council of New York against the appointment of Walter H. Page are only drop in the bucket of what may be expected be- fore the voters pinch themselves and say: Well we slept four years, and now we will awake and do business fn the old way again"

VIVIEN'S CAPTURE

Don't move. or I shall shoot!" The clear girlish voice rang out with un- mistakable emphasis.
 How careless that would be-" replied the man. in a tone or gentle irony.
 He paused in his efforts to get him self and a pair of saddle bags over the rude fence, and turned calmly in the direction of the voice. A black haired, black eyed girl of about 20 stood at the edge of the clearing, not two rods away. She had on a SerViceab1e brown suit and leggins. her cloth cap was slightly askeW-and she was pointing straight at him light but business like rifle. Her cheeks were afiame with excitement. and the man could see her bosom rising and falling rapidly.
 Excuse me for referring to it." he said quietly, standing motionless by the fence. but if you keep up that careless, unsociable way of pointing guns at people, some day there'H be an accident"
 If you resist or try to draw your gun I'll shoot you sure as fate" ex- claimed the girl. "and can shoot straight, too Put up your hands!"
 Before you get utterly foolish and do anything you may be sorry for, = said the man. disregarding the order, and still leaning easily against the fence, stop and think whether you f mind, and why you threaten to mur- der an unarned stranger"
 As if you didn't know. and you standing there with the saddle bags themselves-nny own saddle bags. and the money probably still in them"
 "Oh, as for these saddle bags. well perhaps there is more method in your madness than there seemed to be at first. Do these belong to you?"
 "Of course they do; and you are the robber who stole them from our stable last night; and there is my silver monogram on them; and what have you done with my horse And oh, you robber and murderer. I ought to shoot you anyway. But if you keep your hands up and walk ahead of me will take you back to Clinton and give you up. I don't know but they will hang you as soon as you get there They ought to-.
 My dear young lady," said the man,

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS.

When Galveston suffered from the fEfghtful effects of the tidal wave it accomplished it's reconstruction and the rebuilding of it's government ma- chinery through commission. Day overcome the effects of the flood and In leaving it to commission the city not only hopes to make a better Day ton, but to provide an ideal form of commission government with five mem bers of the commission who shall ,ap point a trained business expert to manage the city affairs. This will give it management similar to d big cor poration with it's directors and presi dent for the purpose of getting down to business.
 Such a plan is id6ll. an elaboration of the commission form which Gal weston inaugurated. having for it's purpose the elimination of politics and the proper conduct of city business Where cities are recovering from dis aster such forms have operated well because they were administered with but one object in view, but there rests upon every community which adopts such a form the obligation of making a proper choice of men. Therein lies the secret of good government under any form. If there are men at it's head which put a business administra- tion ahead of politics it is bound to operate to the benefit of the munich pality It is the men as much as the system which will be on trial at Day

cARELEssNEss WITH POISON.

Many are the critics of the red tane which it is considered exists concern ing poisons but better could be spent their efforts against the laxity which governs them despite the regulations which are supposed to guard against accidental cases of poisoning. The following of the experience of the Georgia banker by two other cases from the same fatal tablets, in differ ent parts of the country, indicates that the failure to take the proper precau- tion to learn what they were taking was a negligence which is all too com mon in the use of medicine Precau- ton as to color of tablets, color of bottle prominently designated labels may be taken by the seller, but wher ever negligence of self or another, dis regards such protection, there is no telling what the result may be-
 Too much care cannot be eXerted in the handling of poisons and the la beIing of containers. The importance of keeping such away from the reach of the children is well understood, but if carelessness exists it is equally as necessary that adults be restricted in their use for the welfare of the users. Carelessness is depIorable in most any undertaking, but when it plays with life it is simply inviting death.

FIGHTING THE HUNGER STRIKE.

When the suffragettes in England introduced the hunger strike they gave the authorities a mean problem to handle, since condemnation was bound to come through requiring the pris
 oners to take nourishment by force, or by allowing them to starve them an outcome might be. The enactment of the "cat and mouse" law as a piece of legislative strategy for overcoming the situation, the purpose of which was to nullify punishment for viola ton of law and order through forcing release promises to counteract much of the desired effect of the hunger strike.
 This law is now in operation pro- viding that prisoners who refuse to eat can be released when their health is threatened and kept under surveillance until improvement is shown, when a return to prison for a com pletion of the sentence follows. Mrs. Pankhurst who has a three years sentence facing her is the first to experience the oper- ation of the law. It doesn't please, as might be expected. A repetition of her previous actions is promised, which means a continuance of the ap- plication of the law. Such alterna- tion between prison and sickroom can not but be annoying when it is real ized that it is self inflicted, and the contest between the hunger strike and the cat and mouse law is likely to decide the value of the former.

PREVENTION IS REST-

Prevention is what is most desir- bie when it comes to fires, crime. or swindling and whatever efforts are devoted to that end are a direct ben eft 10 the people. Punishment of those guilty of lawbreaIling does the party who loses his money no good It is costly satisfaction without re- turn of that which is lost What is needed. however. is the prevention of that loss by checking the operations of the constituencies. A little preven- ton is worthy quantities of cure.
 Tn the belief that Massachusetts could profit from the enactment of 9 law which would make it uninviting for fraudulent stock sellers the Spring field Union says: 'Tt may be true and probably Is true. that sufficient law already exists to punish any man who sells worthless or doubtful stock by misrepresentation. but what is espe- cially sought is to establish safeguards in advance against these expIotters of the public. It is scant compensation 10 the persons who lost their savings Ez investing in the Hawthorne mining scheme to know that Hawthorne and two of his associates are serving sen tences of a brief or longer duration
  regular established concerns should be exempt from the proposed law. That would be class legislation. and un- doubtedly would be held unconstitu- tional And it would obviously fail to afford the full protection to which the public is entitled"
 Old established business which is honestly conducted has nothing to fear. It should be a welcomed law on their part which would eliminate the crooked business and give them the opportunity for q clear and unham- pered field. It operates to the inter est of their business that the fraud ulent Is removed.

Money.

MT. Editor: There seems to be con- | siderable anxiety concerning the wei l fare of the farmers so much so that 1 number of men have gone, or are about to go across the water to the old 1 countries to find out how to furnish our farmers with g sufficient amount l of cheap money" in order to keep | them going. Strange isn't it? The American people don't seem to know how. without so much expense. Away back before the constitution was fram- ed Yes before the declaration of in- dependence, King George dictated to the colonies how much money they could have and of what 1t should be made. And why? Simply because they were the subjects of King George, and 1 that power was lodged with him. He was the sovereign. After the reVolu- l tiOnaFy war the colonies became in dependent. The power then was vest ed in each separate colony Each col l Ony, as an independent unit had the l inherent and absolute power and right to create its own money, for the mem bers of that colony. When the con- stituton was made, for some good and sufficient reasons, each colony sur
 rendered it's right to create money to the general goVernment-to congress. It was, and is the duty of congress to create money for all people to use
 The sovereign power is still vested in lf6 peODle. I0eN ul0 not surrender their power as sOVereignS. else this is not a democracy. Congress, the rep resentatiVes of the people, had and have the power and right to create a legal tender paper money in time of peace as well as in time of war, and the supreme court has so decided. If this be true,an congress has the right to create any money, it is the sworn duty of the congress to create a suf- ficient amount for the people to do their business with If not why not Will some one answer? Is it reason able to suppose that the colonies would have given up that right had they supposed that congress would create the money, which all must have, and put it in the possession of a few men in Wall street, for the pur- pose of making not only a living, but vast fortunes by doling it out to the business and labor of the country for "all the traffic will bear?" What con- gresS has done constituttOnally, it can do again. Congress has created full legal tender paper money and paid it into circulation for service and sup plies. The supreme court has decided that il was constitutional The colon les had that right until they surren- dered II t0 the government. And now isn't there intelligence enough in this country to Constitutionally furnish enough money 10 do the business, without junketing over to Europe to learn how to do 1t? If there isn't, bet ter sell out and go to-the Jumping off place. The tariff has been tinl1ered with for nearly one hundred years and no nearer settlement than when com menced If the time ot our soions in congress is devoted to tariff tinker ing, they have nc time to devote to the greatest question. because every body must have money II looks like fllp IAaipt "a keen inc ncopIo in ignorance on this question. It can aet always remain as il fig.
