efflclAL PAPER Of cnOUTEAU COUNTY
WEDNESDAY. MAY 13, 1914
REPEAL BOXING LAW

In a proclamation issued by Gov.
ernor Stewart, it is announced that
the Kiley boxing law will be submit.
ted to Montana voters for approval or
rejection at the general election in
November. Petitions for the refer
endum of tile law have been filed
with the secretary of state in suffici.
ent number to require the submission
of the measure to the voters.
The law which it is proposed to
repeal by popular vote permits prize
fighting ir Montana and practically
maIes the state q partner in the
game. It is entitled IAN act estab-
fishing a state athletic commission
and regulating boxing and sparring
ill., the state of Montana" 1t provides
for an official supervision of prize
fights and requires that a percentage
of the gate receipts be- paid to the
state-a provision that makes the
commonwealth beneficiary of these
fistiC exhibitions.
According TO E. statement made by
the public authorities, the gate re.
ceipts at these legalized prize fights
during tile past year amounted to
about $4,000, and under the terms
of the law the state of Montana re-
ceivel 10 per cent of that amount.
The salaries and expenses of men,
hers OF the boxing commission, how
ever. absorbed more than one-half of
the states share of the gate money,
leaving a net revenue of about $4,000
for the state from the several prize
lights.
Boxing is defined as the manly art of
selfdefense, and within certain linn.
its it is recognized as an innocent and
healthful form of exercise. But when
it exceeds the limit, and becomes a
slugging match in which each man
seeks to knock out his opponent, it
assumes brutal aspect.
Citizens who resort to fisticuffs to
eettle dispute are violating state
law, and are subject to arrest and
punishment; but under the Kiley box
ng enactment professional pugilists
may pound each other into insensibil
:ty-under the so-called supervision
If public officials-provided they di.
vide the gate receipts with the state
# Montana.
In one of these pugilistic exhibitions
.iven in an eastern Montana town a
lew weeks ago, a prize fighter died
from injuries received during the con-
test. The coroner's jury returned a
verdict to the effect that his assailant
was not guilty of any crime in caus-
ing the mans death, as the fight was
Icing conducted under authority of a
Montana statute.
1t is matter of record that the
kiley boxing law was enacted by the
Thirteenth assembly by irregular or
crooked methods, lobby of interested
persons succeeding in their efforts to
secure its passage. Opponents of the
measure contended that it proposed
to legalize prize fighting in Montana.
and these anticipations have been rea.
lized since the law went into effect.
1t is believed that majority of Mon
tana citizens are opposed to this form
Of sport, and will place themselves on
record to that effect by voting to re.
peal the obnoxious law.

No matter how long one holds off. IL

some time or other the real oldtash-
toned Christmas spirit sneaks into the
hardest and most huSlncSSlike OF hearts.
The Scroogc story is reacted thousands
Of times each year in the heart OF some
one.
Perhaps you are too busy TO think
about Christmas and perhaps YOU mean
to be sensible. and really have no enc
To whom you really wish TO give gilt.
That does not make you proof against
this funny desire at tho Christmas sea
son. to give some one something.
Now this ceric sensation ma strike
you at any time. II Will come and
clutch. and hold and II you strive to
crush il out of your heart nothing but
bitterness rises up in its place. and re-
morse for the Christmases that might
have been.
Why not be prepared for it? Carry
tucked away some place on your person
bill or even piece OF change. &C
cording to your station in life and your
! IDEAS Then when the spirit hovers
near. and the love for which you have
no time nor heart struggles for a place.
just try buying something for the hrst
victim you see. with that piece OF
money. You won't have to go far to
ind q victim If you walk downtown.
They won't look unhappy and they
wont ask aims of you but II only
takes a glance to see what they need g.
Perhaps II Will just DE deilc-Ously
