PUTS
M'GOORTY
TO SLEEP
CBy United Press Leased wire.)

MILWAUKEE,, March %. -
Putting over one of the pugilistic
surprises of the year to date, Bob
Mocha, the Milwaukee middle
weight, beat Eddie McGoorty, the
Oshkosh demon, all the way in
their ten round go here and was
given a popular decision. Plans
are under way here today to re-
match the men.
McGoorty tried to stand off and
box, but he could not keep the
slugging Moha off and he had to
slug in turn. Moha was easily
his master at this style of milling
and had the clever Oshkosh boy
in bad way several times during
the fight.

injured in training last Saturday
and will not be in shape to box
by Thursday.
No opponent has been selected
as yet for Harry Musson. Harry

Polly Grimm will wrestle Carl
Nelson at Chehalis tonight. The
former football star agrees to
throw Nelson twice in an hour or
lose the match.
High school track athletes are
training indoors during the bad
weather. Coach Bell says that
his men cannot afford to miss
any time, as he thinks they are
going to have to hustle to defeat
the Seattle schools anyway.
Johnny Lewtas Is popular
idol at the High school. Johnny
won first place three times in sue.
cession In the cross-country races,
first time this was ever done.
Lewtas took two firsts last year,

Tommy Burns is not taking
any chances of losing. Last night
he postponed his bout with Art
Pelky, New York "ham and
egger," for a week. This makes
twice that Burns has postponed

is merely postponing his own
funeral?

CISTERN FILTERS Do NOT
REMOVE GERMS.

Cisterns that are properly con-
structed and receive rain water
from roofs generally afford wat.
er of good sanitary quality. but
if water of doubtful quality is
stored in cisterns the supply is
of course not fit for domestic
use. Filters used in connection
with cisterns are of value in max
ing the water clear but are gen
erally OF no value in removing
disease germs. Many brick cis-
terms are divided into two parts
by a brick wall, the water being
admitted into one compartment
and drawn from the other. In
such cisterns the water passes
through the brick and in that
way is improved in clearness and
color. but not generally in sani-
tary quality.-(U. S. Geological

THINK NUGGETS.

A remarkable scene occurred
in the Senate on July Is, 1913.
Senator Bristow denounced Bry-
an for telling the people he could
not live on si2. 800 year and had
to desert his post as Secretary
of State to earn more. Then
Ashurst of Arizona read letter
Bristow had written several
years ago stating that he asked
Roosevelt to appoint him to a
position with $500 salary at
tachment ia which he could de-
vote good deal of time to poll
tics. Then Bristow said Ash
urst had spent 500 of the public
funds sending private kilograms
to his constituents After de-
nouncing this as false, Ashurst
consulted some of his Democrat
ic friends, who advised him to
ignore the charge and not ask
for an Investigation. Whereup-
on Ashurst went over and shook
hands with Bristow. The point
to think about is why those Dem
ocratic colleagues of Ashurst ad-
yised him not to ask for an in
vestigation of his abuse of the
franking privilege and why he
went and shook hands with the
man who had just charged that
he had used 500 Of government
money for his private purposes,
and that the records would show
it?-John l.. Thomas, in De Soto

TEN YEARS OE AGITATION

The business men OF the coun-
try are organizing what is known
as the Chamber of Commerce OF
the United States. Its purpose
is to protect the American bust
ness man from the unjust attacks
to which he has been subjected
in the last ten years. The head
of this organization, discussing
it's plans before the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce,
charged the daily and periodical
press with cultivating popularity
by assaulting business. He SAID
that public sentiment was first
aroused against the railroads and
has since been extended to In
clude the industrial life Of the ma
ton and the profession of bank
ing" He Is quoted further as
saying that popular sentiment
has it that all who have been sue
cessful in the accumulation OF
wealth have become so by preda-
tory means and that rotteness
underlies the entire commercial
fabric of the nation.'
Since the gentle man chooses
the railroads as the point at which
unfair attacks originated some
ten years ago. it may be we'll to
consider the results of the ten
years agitation. and. first, let
it be admitted that some of the
LEGISLATION of which the railroads
complain is drastic. Yet ten
years ago the practice Of rebat'
ing was carried on high handed
| lv by the railroads. 1t was a
vicious and cruel custom. tide
stroyed honest business. 1t
wrecked many an honest busi
ness man. Would any organlza
ton of reputable business men
undertake to restore rebatlng:
There is not an honest business
man in the country but rejoices
that that practice has been abol
ished. There is not a business

to lucidly express himself he
cannot be too carefulin picking

VIII the Republican party
come back: That is question
which many Republicans are
turning over in their minds in
these days Of off year political
uuiescence. Our Democratic
friends would have US believe
that the Republican partv is
dead peyond resurrection, forget
ting the history Of its own party
as it relates to knOckouts from
dissension within its own ranks.
The Democratic party has been
dead" number of times, yet
it has come back. The Republi-
can party will do the same. 1t
was established upon principles
of a too .biding foundation to be
utterly shattered at one blow
from within. and those princi-
ules are as sound and good to-
day as they ever were and the
faith of Republicans in them is
Just as firm as ever. The trOub-
les of the party are not over the
orthodoxy Of party faith, they
had their origin in Vaccinations
of selfish leaders, who used the
party to advance personal ends,
and manipulated the party ma
chinery contrary to the desire
and will of the humble rank and
file The people will follow poll
tical lea ders. but they will not be
driven. and Just as soon It's they
feel that a driver is urging them
on to what they feel is the wrong
course. revolt takes place and
the party goes into a temporary
eclipse. The Republican party
IS sure to emerge from its pres
ert obscuration. This may not
bs next year or in 1916, it de
pends largely on how its leaders
and so-called leaders act III har-
mony with the rank and file.
The Democratic party was TWEEN
ty wears in coming back after
hitting itself a killing blow. but
we hardly anticipate that it Will
take the Republican party that
1onp tO recover from the setback
it gave itself last year
