away from the. stomach blows. al
though after the sixteenth he came
ahead again, and in the seventeenth
sent in a hard right uppercut to the
Jaw that shook Wolgast up a lot more
than his seconds would admit.
Boys Set Hard Pace
It was a hard pace that the pair
set all the way through, neither in
clined to give ground to any extent.
Murphy looked to be the weakling for
time, but in the last few rounds
he was again leading and Wolgast,
was the discouraged one of the two,
his eyes showing that he had no
liking for the way he. was forced to
step.
He had looked loggy at times in
his gymnasium work and looked
loggy and spiritless yesterday after
noon. In his corner, between rounds,
he kept complaining that his left arm
was bothering him and from the
fourth round till the end there was
the constant warning from Wolgasts
advisers to keep your hand up"
Tired as he must have been, it was
no easy matter to have his guard
raised and time and again when he
forgot that essential, Murphy would
sting him with a left or let slip a
right.
Taking round for round. there is no
question but that Murphyehad shade
The first two rounds, as the writer
viewed them, with the third shade
in favor of the New Yorker. After
that Murphy kept his advantage
through the eighth, which gave him
six rounds.
The ninth was even, with Wolgast
fighting better and in the tenth,
eleventh and twelfth, Harlem Tommy
was once more doing the scoring.
Wolgast assumed the aggressive in
the thirteenth and for four rounds was
going in good shape. He tired per-
ceptibly in the sixteenth, was lucky to
have the seventeenth called even and
was scored against in the eighteenth.
AID let loose some of his old vim in
the nineteenth and landed several
hard body punches, but thats they
were not telling was evidenced by
Murphy's remarkable finish.
Summed up. that gives Murphy ten
rounds. with five for Wolgast and
five even. ~. -...

the Mexican, who blocked cleyerly with

blow was a left drive to the body,

STOCK MANIPULATIoNs AND
RAILROADS.&C..

ford railroad is one Of the worst stock
rugged and water-logged railroads in

into the purchase OF competing steam.

POLITICS AND THE BENCH.

Why should a member OF the judi
ciary be chosen by politicians? This
question thrusts itself to the fore in
view Of the resignation Of Judge Cut
ting Of the probate court Of Cook
county. He gives his reasons thus:
Il should prefer to remain on the
bench if the term were long enough to
make It an object A four-year term
of Office is absurd. You will never
get the right type OF men for the judi
ciary until you have a system either
like the New York one of a 14-year
term or the federal system of appoint
ment for life.
'As long as the permanency Of a
judicial position depends upon a polit-
ical party there will be ineficiency.
The disagreeable instances, the dis
fractions incidental to elections, and
the financial drain arising from the
campaign for Office do not prove al
Turing to the highest type of men, who
are eminently fitted for the judiciary.
Il have been elected four times and
have served 13 years. My term ex-
pires a year from next December.
| have never been defeated at the cleo
| tons, so ] have no sore toes on that
point, but the constant annoyance OF
the short term and the expenses con.
nected with it do not pay. l have
/ been presented with proposition
which is more alluring. shall make
several times as much money and no;
be compelled to undergo half the
worry.
Il had hoped that during my time
the judiciary would be taken out OF
the hands of politics. but Il has moi
been, and I am through. Under pres
ent conditions the judiciary is tied tc
the tail Of the political kite, and fee
justified in resigning my place on the
bench"
A judge, particularly in large cities
is, as Judge Cutting says, "the tail o
the political kite" He is robbed o
his independence. If he has any ap
pointments to make, he must consul
the political bosses, even receivershipI
being considered political spells. HI
must subscribe to campaign funds.
Why not reform this miserable sys
tenn? A Judge should not be chosel
by partisans as partisan. He shoul'
be chosen because of his special fl
ness.
Put the judiciary above politics ant
make them independent Of outside in
fuences.
Perhaps the resignation Of Judg
Cutting may awaken the people to tn
necessity for a uon-partisan judiciary

this industry, the American people are
taxed annually in the increased price
of sugar $140,000,000, or S40,000,000
more than the total sugar investment.
1t is also $4,000, 900 more than the to-
tai annual value of the American sugar
crop, including its by-products.
To the individual this tax amounts
to $3.50, or an annual charge Of $3.50
on family of average size.
Since 1897 the protection to the su-
gar industry has cost American con-
sumers 1000, 100000. But if the pub
lie got value received for this sum
in revenue to defray the cost of gov
ernment-there would not be SO much
complaint. But the actual duty col.
lected in 16 years has been only $780,.
100000. The balance, $1,000, 100000
has been a bonus, pure and simple,
wrung from the poor to create a new
group of American millionaires.
Leaving aside the principle that SUI
gar as a prime food necessity should
come untaxed to the American public,
the production of cane sugar in this
country is an artificial, unnatural in
dustry. There are two types O: sugar
production-from sugar beets, grown
in many sections of the country, and
from sugar cane, grown along the gull
coast Of Louisiana and Texas. 1t is
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-06-19

possible, indeed possible, that beeI
sugar production has now progressed
to point where it'can be called nat
ural industry If so, it does not need
protection in order to survive. But
there is no natural justification for
cane sugar production in the United
States.
1t is possible to grow bananas and
tea in New England in hot houses. Yet
not even the most rabid protectionlst
would advocate a prohibitiv4 duty on
bananas or tea, raising the prices of
these foods ten times above what they
are now, in order that te- and banan-
as might be produced with profit in
hot houses in New England.
In somewhat smaller degree cane
sugar growing is dollhouse industry.
The sugar in cane is called sucrose by
chemists. Louisiana cane is only to
Z per cent sucrose, while Cuban cane
Is IL to Il per cent aRd Hawaiian from
II to Is per cent sucrose-or over
twice as much sugar in the same
amOunt-of cane.
In Cuba sugar cane grows naturally
and is planted once every 10 years. IL
Louisiana the cane must be replanted
every year. There is never frost in
Cuba; in Louisiana the cane must be
cut in October before maturity to es
cape frost, thus accounting for the
lower sucrose content. Louisiana sug
ar mills are antiquated, while some o.
! the Cuban factories are the latest anC
most efficient in the world.
And so, though Louisiana wages arr
much lower than those paid in Cuba
it costs nearly cents to produce ;
pound of raw sugar in Louisiana
against a Cuban cost of 2 cents. SaiC
Representative T. w. Hardwick o
Georgia, the great sugar expert of thu
house:
'In order to produce a cane suga
crop valued at $26,000,00O, our Louisi
ana friends insist that we ought t,
continue a system of taxation tina
costs the American people $4,000
900 in the increased price Of sugar. l
is undemocratic; it is unfair; i is IN
righteous; and, so far as / am con
cerned, l will never stand for a cor
tinuance of this olicy to keep a dut

BRIDGE MEMORIAL
TO j. 7. HARAHAN

Memphis, Tenn, June 19.ZThe new
$5,000,000 double track railway and
vehicle bridge across the Mississippi
river here is to be a monument to the
late James T. Harahan, who was one
of the famous railroad operators of
the south.
The structure will be called The J.
T. Harahan Bridge" This name was
agreed upon by the officials of the
Rock Island, Missouri Pacific, and the
St Louis and Southwestern, who will
use the new structure. The founda-
ton work for the bridge was begun
early this month.
This touch of sentiment in naming
the bridge for Mr.. Harahan, which
was resolved upon by the railroads al
interest. has been the cause of much
friendly comment.
Mr.. Harahan retired from the presI-
dency Of the Illinois Central railroad
when he reached his SEVENTEEN birth
day. Under his direction that road
had developed its lines and had reach
ed into new territory.
Mr. Harahan had personal acquain.
lance with the leading citizens ana
merchants in every hamlet through
which the Illinois Central system pass
ed. But his strong friends were IN
Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi and
Louisiana. He believed in the south
and urged upca railroad owners and
other men of money the natural IN.
developed possibilities Of this ccun'
/ try.
Mr.. Harahan's second wife was Miss
Mary Mallory, daughter of Capt W
b. Mallory Of Memphis, the head Of a
and every member Of whom is a lead
er in his community.
When Mr.. Harahan retired from
the presidency Of the Illinois Central
he drew the attention Of Messrs. Reid
and Moore Of the Rock Island to the
necessity Of another bridge at Mem
phis. These men became keenly in
terested in the proposition. The one
] bridge across the river. which was
owned by the Frisco, though con
structed only twenty years. was in
adequate to carry tho enormous in
/ creasing traffic.
The Rock Island management in
terested the Gotten Bet and the Mis-
souri, Pacific. and the result was the
organization OF the Arkansas anc
Memphis Railway Bridge and Ter
minal company, with Mr.. Harahan al
/ president. II was decided that 6
double track bridge should be built
and that on either side Of the bridge
there should be a free wagonway.
| The completed bridge VIII give
Memphis easy access into eastern Ar
kansas by automobiles and wagons
and viii be a gateway between the
Southern. the Louisville and Nash
VILE, the Illinois Central. and the
North Carolina and ST. Louis railway
on the east bank Of the river and the
Rock Island and the Missouri Pacific
and Cotton Belt on the west.

was again taken Up, ind the friends
of Mr.. Harahan thought It would be
q graceful thing If the bridge were
named IN his honor.
Mrs. Harahan herself became deep
ly interested IN the suggestion. A few
days ago she received letter from

had been agreed that the structure q,
