It's next session in January, 1915. Dan
Salt, Seattle boxing promoter, Is
fathering the idea, and has drafted a
model bill passed on the New York,
Montana and Wisconsin laws.
The bill provides among othef
things, for five commissioners to con-
stitute the state boxing board thar
all bouts shall be ten rounds, no dc,
vision affairs: that all promoters sha4
deposit $25OO with the commission to
be forfeited ii the law is violated#
that no boxer shall be matched with II
man outweighing him more than tei
pounds, and that the commission shan
exact a fee Of five per cent Of the
gross receipts thus guaranteeing the
state a profit whether the promoter
wins or loses.

PROMPT ACTION IN WAR CRISIS.

BY a series of prompt, effective
moves the national administration has
met the threatened commercial crisis
growing out OF the European war and
men of affairs now see brighter skies
looming up for business in this coun-
try. 1t is conceded by all that Presi-
dent Wilson and his advisers have met
the situation with singular vigor and
wisdom.
The last step in the program Of for
tifying American business and indus
try for the emergency is the proposal
that the government purchase ships
to carry on our commerce while the
foreign merchant marine is crippled.
This plan has been agreed upon BY
the president and leaders in congress
and there is every indication that it
win speedily be put into execution.
Under normal conditions it would be
considered revolutionary in character
but any theoretical objections which
may be raised 10 it are swept aside
by the extraordinary situation which
demands extraordinary measures.
The salient features of the program
which the administration has carried
out in meeting the war emergency are
thus outlined By one OF our contempt
raries
Absolute neutrality declared.
Offer to mediate transmitted to the
five principal warning powers-Great
Britain, France and Russian on the
one hand. and Germany and Austria
Hungary on the other hand
Appropriations of s2,75O,0OO secured
to relieve the necessities and provide
transportation home for the thousands
ol Americans stranded in the warning
countries
Cruiser Tennessee dispatched with
relief funds and gold coin to take care
of the foreign obligations of American
bankers.
Unlimited issue Of emergency cur
rency authorized thus meeting the i'm
mediate demands for currency in this
country's domestic transactions and
stopping the outflow OF gold to Eu-
rope
Shipping laws so amended as to en-
able the United States to acquire YES
sells in which to transport the coun-
try's huge grain crop to needy and
stricken people.
Provision made to use available ma
val vessels to carry mails and freight
both to Europe and South America.
Settlement OF the threatened strike
OF middle west railway men effected
thus assuring railway service during
the crisis.

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES:
THE CONTRAST.

BY coincidence so strange in his
tory as almost to justify the supersti-
lion, two ideals present their fruits
TO the judgment OF the day and of
posterity in the same month, the same
week, the same day The European
ideal bears its full fruit of ruin and
the American ideal lays before the
world great work Of peace, good will
and fair play. The Internal blaze of
destruction there lights up the fulfill
ment Of a great work of construction
here While the madmen of Europe
lug at the pillars of the temple of civ
ilization, the Panama canal is thrown
open to the world
Scandal did not stain ii, though pre-
yious experience had led TO a cynical
disbelief in the possibility OF a Pana-
ma canal being created without scan.
dal Not a dollar of taxation was
taken from a toiler's pocket to build
IL. Not one of the agencies of the
government employed on II was dila
tory or inefficient II is not only tri-
umph OF engineering, but a triumph
Of administration II Is a triumph OF
craftsmanship, not in the usual sense
of that phrase--a victory over a crafty
opponent-but the statesmanship
which rose sagaciously and honorably
over selfish considerations. In the
face Of large temptations. the great
work was presented to all the nations
Of the earth on even terms, the ma
ton that built ii taking its place in
line among the rest That nation
sought no advantage at the expense
OF others.
The contrast is made complete by
the opening Of the canal at the mo-
nent when the ideal of self aggran-
dizemeat has wrought its inevitable
disaster. II is while the military ma
tions are doing their utmost to de-
stroy twentieth century civilization
and throw the world into the past
that the great democratic nation opens
door looking upon the future AS

world backward the other beckons il

ness is tearing nations apart America

the horrid picture of another day. She
tried to imagine the scene that had
been enacted there with gentle, low
