Bob Fitzsimmons, erstwhile world

seen I'm action at the Illinois theatre
last night. giving a neat exhibition of
the manly art, and incidentally intro
ducing TO local followers of ring af-

Young Bob is a splendid physical

Bob. Sr. precedes the sparring ex-

in which he tells the story of his life;
how a beating by a football player
back in his Australian home prompted
him to learn how to defend himself. and
how he gave the $500 purse hung up in
his first fight to his opponent because
the latter's mother was desperately
sick and had to be sent TO a hospital
in Sydney if her life was to be spared.
But Bob won the scrap, so he tells his
audience. Bob works the soft pedal
To- a fare-you-well in his monologue in
an effort to get under the vests of his

Bob's fighting days are over, and
MS ambition now is to put his son

WHAT PART NUMBER THREE
PLAYS

Ex-Judge James Gay Gordon was
asked his views as to the action of the
Committee of Seventy, few years
ago. in choosing three lawyers to look
into the filtration evidence, and what
he thought these three lawyers could
or would do in the matter. He an
swered in part: 1T is really eXtraor-
dinary what part the number three
plays in history and in all the affairs
of men. There are the three wise men
of Gotham and the three tailorS of
Tooley street; the three sides of a tri-
angle: the three divisions of the day,
morning, noon and night; the three
threes that make the Committee of
Nine and the three tens that make the
thirty pieces of silver that Judas got.
There are the three regions of the
backbone, the dorsal, the lumbar and
the pelvic. and there are the three de-
grees of thirst, dry, extra dry and dry
as a covered bridge. There are the
three prongs to Neptune's trident and
the three RS of a rudimentary edu-
cation.
There are the three witches in
Macbeth and Thrice the brindled cat
hath mew'd.' There were the three
Hebrew children in the fiery furnace,
and there are the three extra cents for
an exchange ticket. There are three
balls in the pawnbroker's scutcheon
and three stages in equity pleading,
the bill, the answer and the replica
ton.
There are the dauntless three who
kept the bridge at Rome and the three
expert engineers who inspected the
filtration plant. There are the three
forms of matter. solid liquid and
gaseous, and there are the three years
composing the term of the District
Attorney. There are the three unities
of time, place and circumstance, and
DR.. Johnson's three gradations of
liquor. claret for boys, port for men
and brandy for heroes.
"You could as soon escape calumny
as avoid the omnipresent three. The

his own countrymen.
Even United States Senator Theo-
dore Burton. of Ohio, has withdrawn
as a candidate for reelection to the
Senate because he believes his views
on the subject of the Panama Canal
tolls are at variance with those of a
large majority of his constituents. He
therefore prefers to drop out of the
fight rather than take the chances of
defeat at this time.
Nor are the voters of Pennsylvania
unmindful of the fact that the Presi-
dent is maintaining an un-American
attitude on this question. Political OBJ
servers during the last week report a
strong undercurrent of sentiment in
this State against the Palmer McCor-
mick faction as a result of Mr.. Pal
mer's support of the President and his
declaration that the latter should have
the blind allegience of his party with
out regard to the effect of his policies
upon the country at large.

Ring the bell softly be quiet and still,
There's sadness, poor Woodrow is

Because in New Jersey they planted

His Congressional choice, Jim o'Brien.
Poor Jim was assisted for weeks by all
At the Administrations command,
In the hope that they'd save his politi-

And Congressman's job for him

They trained him. and primed him, and
got him in trim,
His merits on all sides they told,
And when he went forth to the war,
yesterday,
He resembled a warrior bold
But somebody slipped in computing the
force
That the enemy had in the field.
And what strong battle would have
to be fought
In order to get them to yield.
So the plans that poor Woodrow for
victory laid.
BY the voters We're knocked all awry,
And the best spoils of war that poor

Was a black spot that covered his

WHY DO THEY COME

NGLAND and other countries of
Europe boast of the low cost of
living there as compared with
America and South America.
Yet in recent years the flood of immi-
grafton has been persistently from the
old to the new-from free trade coun-
tries where the cost of living is COM
paratively low to protected America
where the living is high.
Why? Simply because the oppor-
tunities here have been greater than
in Europe. The workman much pre-
ferred the high wage and the high
living cost to low wages and cheap
prices for the very simple reason that
with wages high he might live as sim
ply as he chose and pocket the saving,
while with wages and prices both low
he had little opportunity to save any
thing no matter how poorly he lived.
Strange as it may seem, with a pro-
tective tariff in force the workman.
with home factories buzzing at top
speed, was able to buy more or save
more in high-priced America than
he was in low-priced Europe-and
that was the reason why he preferred
this country to his own.
The effort to lower prices here by
process of importation has had no
other effect than to cut down the
output of our own factories and farms.
The new tariff is. therefore, nothing
more or less than a blow at wages. 1t
is true that the old tariff was too high
in spots. Even its staunchest friends
agreed on that. But the reasonable
remedy was not to discard the system
that made living conditions in this
country better than those in Europe to
an extent that has drawn millions of
Europeans to America
There is just one way out of our
present trouble-elect men to the next
Congress who will undo as rapidly as
possible the mistakes of those respon-
sible for the Underwood BILL We
have had quite enough already of
Democratic prosperity" Let us seize
the first opportunity of restoring the
industry of the country to its old basis
