REPRESENTATIVE HUMPHREY

~FA ALL the absurd arguments put
 forth against the repeal of the
 canal tolls exemption clause, the most rediculous was that advanced yesterday by Representative Hum phrey. of Seattle. Clearly the speech was delivered for home consumption, because even one of the obtuse parti- sauship Of MT. Humphrey could scarce ly hope that there is a single member of the House of Representatives who does not fully understand that there IS absolutely no possible connection between the free tolls question and competition between American and English and Japanese shipping. The free tolls clause exemption applies only to American coastwfse traffic. and Eng fish and Japanese ships cannot en- gage in that. American ships that are competing with Japanese and British shipping iu the foreign trade will have to pay the same tolls that the foreign ships pay. no matter what the fate of the repeal bill might be. Indeed, one would think that Mir. Humphrey has greatly over estimated the ignorance of his constituents if he entertains any hope that his speech will help him with the Seattle electorate in the slightest degree.
 This recalls that one of the curious things in connection with the 2Oth century history of the Northwest is the circumstance that Seattle-one of the most progressive cities of the West has kept Will E. Humphrey in Con- gress for six terms In all that time he has never for an instant shown single symptom Of real statesmanship. He has consistently. during the whole eleven long years of his Congressional service. opposed to the very best of his biggoted ability every progressive thing that has been suggested. Until compelled by the force Of public opin. ion in his own city to support the Al. aska railroad bill, he has opposed or remained silent on every proposition that the people of Alaska have ever asked for. The Territorial govern ment bill for Alaska was secured in spite of his opposition. He has con tributed more than any other man on earth toward the nLfeeling that exists in Alaska toward Seattle, not because of any particular ability-because he possesses little-but because the peO- pie Of Alaska have felt that they have had a right to demand the services of Seattle's Congressional representative. and they have never had it. He has persistently and everlastingly opposed Alaska's representative in Congress in all that he has done or tried to do for the Territory.
 Mir. Humphreys Congressional car. ger has been devoted to three things: CD Abusing Democrats, Progressives, Socialists. and Independents; @ ex- tolling the virtues of the old standpat

Jimmy clabby Fights Murray In San
Francisco Tonight.


profited by beating UP policemen as a
training stunt will be discovered to-
night when the Hammond middle
weight takes on Billy Murray in San
Francisco for a go scheduled for
twenty rounds
CIabby, according to reports, was
travelling at fast clip until he mixed
with the policeman, and was order
ed by the court to cut out the high
life, with a Jail sentence as an alter
native.
Murrayis comparatively unknown
here, but on the coast he is being
touted as second Stanley Ketchel.
Murray carries a. terrific punch, as
he has demonstrated frequently to the
satisfaction of coast fans, and they
are backing him heavily at the pre-
vailing odds, which make Clabby
faYorite at 10 to 8.
Clabby in his recent fights on the
coast carried everything before him.
He was in condition, and could go the
route at top speed. Then, according
to the best information, he contin-
ued to go the route at top speed, but
not in boxing hours. The breaks may
have hurt him.
In his usual fighting condition
Clabby should prove the winner. He
is clever and has a punch good
enough for every day j.. work. His
stiffness should keep him away from
Murray's kick, and he is liable to
wear down the Californian by con-
tinuous attack.
Bombardier Wells, English heavy
weight, knocked out Albert Lurie in
the seventh round in London last
night. Lurie is an unknown, and the
win does not add to Wells standing.
