smuggling. Not Boxing.


To the Editor of the Evening Star;
smuggling the Order at Boxing
Show" Such was the headline of an
item on a local sport page the other
day. Three or four bouts between
heavyweights, who surely were not
boxers, but rather fighters, made up
the "card'' at the exhibition The
writer of the story seemed to gloat
over the terrific body punches that
felled the loser in one of the bouts.
A bout at the same show in which a
scientific boxer defeated his oppo-
nent, received scarcely any mention.
Acknowledgements rwin has intro
duced bill in the house that would
legalize these exhibitions of brutality.
The bill has passed the House and it
! is now before the Senate for defeat.
1t would create commissionerships to
draw more money out of the taxpay-
ers' pockets. and bring "hoodlums'
and crooks in crowds" to the sport"
Why should we, the taxpayers in
general, pay large salaries TO men to
regulate a commercialized project?
The bill will not make for the adj
vancement of boxing as sport, but
| on the other hand will result in all
kinds of 'fights''-anything to get
the money for the promoters.

chair and applied himself to his cigar
in silence, but his eyes never left

Presently he took the cigar from be-

said II want to see what you think
of it-but remember always. | believe
in letting we'll enough alone! They
got North Gagged in one of those nice
new cells down at the Jail and that
suits me all right! My theory is that
the man who killed Mcbride was need
ing money mighty badly and he went
to Mcbride as a sort of a last chance.
He found the old fellow alone in the
office-understand, he didn't go there
with any fixed purpose of killing him,
his ideas had not carried him that far
he was willing to borrow the money,
of the old man would lend 1t to him.
He probably needed quite sum, say
two or three thousand dollars, and
the need was urgent, you must keep
that in mind and then, you'll see per-
fectly how it all happened. Possibly
my man was of the sort who don't
fancy disagreeable interviews and had
put off going to the store until the
last moment, but once he had settled
that point with himself he was deter
mined he wouldn't come away without
the money. The old fellow, however,
took a different view Of the situation;
he couldn't see why he should lend
any money, especially when the Dor
rover was vague on the matter of Sc
curitv.

while there at the back of the store.
Mr.. Bride standing in the doorway of
the office all the. time. AT last it got
to my man that he wasn't to have
the money But there was trouble
ahead of him if he didn't get it, and
he wouldn't give up; he kept on
making Notwithstanding his need
and his willingness and ability to
| meet his obligations. He was like
starving man in the presence OF food'
for he knew Mcbride had the money
in his safe, and the safe door was
open His need seemed the only need
| in all the world. and it came to him
that, since Mcbride would not lend

| take it from him anyhow? lie
couldn't see consequences; he could
| only realize that he must have two
or three thousand dollars. Perhaps
| he got glimmer of reason just here
and. if he did. was pretty badly
frightened to think that he should

away to leave Mcbride, and the OLD
man followed him ways down the
store. explaining why they couldn't

WASHINGTON, MAR. 10.
While the House committee on
ways and means is waiting for Pres
ident Wilson to express his views as
to what should be the direction, scope
and policy of the proposed tariff re-
vision, the President is waiting 10
hear what the country wants done
with the tariff before he commits
himself on the subject. A part OF. the
business which has taken William
Jennings Bryan away from Washing
ton at this time is to find out what
the Middle West thinks about tariff
revision, and what public sentiment
in that section favors in the way OF
reductions.
| Both the President and the secre-
tary of state, as leaders OF their
party, have an eye open to the polltl-
cal situation at all times, and there is
M disposition to make the admins
tration responsible for any policy or
move that is likely to have bad polit-
icaI effect. Both the President and
the secretary of state look upon the
States of the Middle West as more
safely Democratic, under normal con-
ditions, than any other section OF
country outside the South. SO, before
any tariff program is prepared, or
announced, Mr. Bryan is to find out
what the Middle West thinks should
be done with the important schedules
in the tariff law.
The attitude of the ways and means
committee is that of being ready to
draft tariff bills that will meet the
approval of the President, regardless
of what his wishes may be. CHAR
man Underwood has announced his
willingness to submit the committee
work to the President and have him
pass on it, even before the measures
are presented to the Democratic eau
Gus. When the bills have been shaped
Sc as to meet Mr.. Wilson'S approval
the program is 10 make them all the
subject of caucus action, and to bind
the entire Democratic majority by
caucus rule to support the measures
exactly as they are introduced. This
is the method by which the majority
leaders and the President hope to

tariff insurgents into line and make
the tariff program essentially party
question. While support from either
the Progressives or the Progressive
Republicans will be welcomed, it is
the hope of the administration and
the party leaders that it will be pos
sible to keep the party together sol
| idly on all administration measures
and obviate the necessity of asking
for help from other parties.
Just at present the ways and means
committee is really doing little OF
nothing on the tariff bills, beyond
polishing up some of the language
and phrasing in the administration
features of the measures This proc
oss of marking time will probably
continue, and no real work VIII be
done on the bills until there is some
suggestion from the President as tc
the lines he wants the revision te
follow.

politicians to make it appear thai
there is friction already between the

Langham' 5 face was purple with

A virginia story.

THE Daughter of a Rebel" by G.
We're Tyler, is story of girl OF the
new South. The awakening that has
come to her native section has
aroused in the girl an altruistic de-
sire by authorship to help her people.
They are so poor. so helpless, yet so
proud and enmeshed in traditions OF
high lineage and aristocratic rank
that it is, even the inexperienced
maiden can see, a task of magnitude
/ to rescue them and lead them into
the true road of progress. The girl
goes to New York. She writes her
story, and, of course, it is returned
again and again by those to whom
she offers it. Finally, she meets an
editor who, as she thinks, is her
friend; on the contrary, he is a vii.
lain, and only the sudden entrance
upon the scene of her lover from the
South saves Page Warwick. The
story is worthy of note for it's por-
trayal OF Southern types. 1t is writ
ten in an entertaining style and its
descriptive passages are indicative
of imaginative power.

Marmaduke Pickhall has written =
novel. "Veiled Women" The plot
of the book concerns a penniless Eng
lish woman, who is without relatives.
She becomes a goyerness in the home
of an Egyptian pasha. The son of
the pasha falls in love with her and
she consents 10 marry him, adopt
ing the Moslem faith of her husband.
She is so well treated, so warmly
welcomed that she really becomes at
heart an Oriental, preferring the
Ideas of the East affecting the homo
to those of the west. Especially as
regards the English treatment of
women she finds the Egyptian mode
far more preferable for a woman Of
independence and self-respect. In
this there are many women who will
agree with her, especially those who
are acquainted with the autocratic
rule of the Briton in his castle. that
is, his own home. The story is OF
value as giving a glimpse of the
life of the Egyptian of today, TO
whom it is extremely complimentary.
There is also in it food for thought
| for the fanatical suffragist whose
| misguided. futile zeal in many cases
has made of her an ultra type OF
| Maenad.

problem that her birth rate VIII be the

But if the birth rate in Germany mas
declined so also has the death rate ana
to this alone is due the fact that in the
u years since 1900 the population Of the
empire has increased by eight and mar
millions. The death rate in 1915 was ~
per 1000 inhabitants. In 1909 this was
reduced to 2oi9. while last year the rate

PAPER SAWS.

The latest use for paper is perhaps the
most peculiar According to a European
journal, as reported in the Scientific Am
erican, a factory Is said to exist in Eng
land which is manufacturing circular
saws from paper These paper saws are
used for the manufacturing Of fine furni-
ture, veneer and other thin plates OF
wood, which must be treated with special
care. Some time ago circular saws made
from drawing paper were shown In an
English exposition. The saws were driven
by an electric motor and produced fine
boards. which could not have been made
better even by the finest steel saw. The
veneers made in this way are said to be
so smooth that the cabinet-makers can
usa than without furthar -,i",ir9
