Battling Levinsky Is Here-Trains
For Bout With Mona.

heavyweight, the worlds "oftenest"
fighter, arrived in town today for
few training stunts in preparation
for his fight with Bob Moha in Mil
waukee next Monday night.
LeVinsky wasted no time, and went
right to work at a downtown gym
nasium, polishing up a punch with
which he hopes to do considerable
damage to Moha.
In his recent fights LeVinsky has
failed to exhibit a smashing walloP.
He appears to have lost the haymak-
er that was winning all Of his earlier
fights, and has been getting decisions
on cleverness. Such methods will
never do for a heavyweight who as
pires to a championship, and Dan
Morgan, manager of the New Yorker,
realizes that fact as well as anyone.
LeVinsky says he can't explain his
failure OF put over knockout. He
feels as strong as he ever did, is plant
ing his blows clearly, but lacks the |
old zip. If his wallop does not return |

Charlie White will undoubtedly
make tour of the Pacific coast if
he succeeds in licking Joe Azevedo,
the Portuguese FOUNDER, who is well
thought of out West.
White established himself by his
mastery fight against Ad Wolgast,
and his subsequent battle with Jimmy
Duffy did not detract from his repu-
tation, though Buffalo fans gave the
home product the shade. White can
make himself a great drawing card by
victory over Azevedo, and will be
able to pick up some of the stable
purses being put up by Coffroth and
McCarey at their clubs. !

Cubs Have Mechanical Power
Finish Rests With O'Day.

L0dInS III the NaClOnal League IOF Tie
coming pennant flight, refuse to con-
slider the Cubs as better than third
place team, and a few have consign-
ed the West Side gang to a berth in
the second division.
This rating is all based on the fact.
that Hank O'Day is managing the
team. The experts opine that Hanks
methods will be too ancient to cope
with the strategy of McGraw, Stall
ings and some Of the other wise heads
directing National League teams.
But just remember that O'Day is
surrounded by some ballplayers with
brains, men who will assist him in
directing the teams campaign, and
he will not be too bull-headed to listen
to their advice.
There Is enough mechanical
strength in the Cub lineup to give
the squad at least position in the
first three teams. A pitching staff,
something that was lacking last
spring, is ready for action; the catch
ers are as good as last year, and at
least one of them will do better work;
the infield has not suffered particle,
and the outield, with two new men
present, should be an improvement
over the garden bunch that opened
the spring of 1913.
O'Day has the. materials for a
ready-made ball team. If he is any
kind of a manager at all he will be
able to whip together machine that
can bust itself through five teams in
the league and give the other two
one grand little fight for every game.
At the start of the season, at least,
there will be an absence of the dis
sension. which caused the Cubs to
slip off during part of the last cam
paign. There will not be any loose
ends to gather up and jealousy will be
a minus quantity.
That is what the present indica-

inevitable was taking place. They well
remember how the Democrats shrieked,
from one end of the country to the
other. that the administration was be-
ing combined against by "the inter-
ests." They well remember how the
facts concerning paralyzing industries
were suppressed and denied, and labor
troubles were excused-until, at last,
swarming thousands in the great cities
and manufacturing towns were idle,
hungry, illelad, riotous; and hundreds
of thousands in the land were fed and
warmed daily by charity. Every city
organized to care for its suffering poor;
while the country districts were trade
less, fat and discouraged.
Those are the things which we re-
member all too vividly-they were a
thousand times worse than this brief
reference would give an idea. Those
were the things we warned against;
and those were the things President
Wilson and his Southern secret eau
Gus in Congress deliberately inflicted
on this country as a gigantic gamble
with fate--and the hope that out of
the chaos and readjustins of industrial
conditions the South would reap the
lions share and hereafter dominate
the nations industrial affairs.
And right here is a significant fact
for your careful consideration: Democ-
racy was enabled to bring about this
coup of Southern domination through
the narrow political selfishness of Re-
publican leaders. Now the only hope
of Democracy. in cities, states and ma
tion, is to keep the breach between Re-
publican factions wide open.
Demooraey's only hope today lies in
preventing the union of those who on
the great principles of government are
opposed to it.

Aaain the Thaw Case.
lBoston Transcript.l

(Boston Transcript
IT Is almost five months since Thaw
escaped from the Matteawan Asylum for
the Criminal Insane. During the greater
part of that time he has not been at
large, but he has managed to Keep be-
yond the reach of the state against
whose laws he offended and which has
sought his extradition. Deported from
Canada, he is taken into custody in New
HAMPSHIRE The Governor of New
Hampshire after prolonged hearing
decided to turn Thaw over to the New
York authorities, whereupon the case IS
removed to the United States Court.
There it is now and there it may be for
some time yet, since counsel will De
heard on the report of the commission
which has just rendered the opinion that
Thaw may be allowed to go on bail
without danger to the community.
More important than the report of the
commission is the question whether the
judicial proceedings or one State, un-
questionably regular in themselves, are
to be given full faith and credit in all
other states. This issue dwarfs all the
psyohopathic aspects of the case, for II
a man sent to an insane asylum on the
verdict of a jury before which he was
charged with murder can, after escaping
from incarceration, roam every state In
the Union save one so long as his money
holds out, what becomes of the comfy
between states? That comfy disappears.
The long fight which Thaw's wealth has
enabled him to make against the state
of New York illustrates pointedly the
command of the laws delays which
money gives a wealthy fugitive to block
the spirit of the law. No amount or
sophistry can obscure the fact that the
community which has the first claim on
Thaw is the State of New York. 1t gives
notice that undscouraged by five months
of struggling to obtain its own it will
not abandon the quest and will seek to
secure Thaw the moment he leaves the
State of New Hampshire. 1t is to be
hoped that New York will yet accom-
plish it's purpose. The common good de-
mands a striking example of the futiiity
of money resisting justice. The public
nails obtaining delays that are beyond
the resources of men of the same record
who are without price of expert legal
talent" that it is in danger of falling
into the belief there is privileged class
in crime Herein is the public peril of the
offensive Thaw case, a peril which can
be averted by making comfy between
states paramount to legal sophistry spun
out into webs of delay.

and put it under the cushion OF his

Now, IL ehaneed that the cap had
been blown from the head of one Oh

who was high up in the tower at the

called up the policeman at the Brook

scribing the teamster and his wagon
and told him he had lost his cap.
AS the long file of trucks passed by

Editorial Comment.
Millions Manhandle the Law.

tNeW YORK 1rlDuHe.1
The finding of a commission appointed
by the federal court for the District of
New Hampshire that Harry X. Thaw is
not now insane and should be released
on bail is the greatest triumph which
the Thaw millions have so far won over
the law. The Thaws set out deliberately
to make a mockery of the law. The mur-
derer of Stanford White escaped the death
penalty only because he was DECEASED
to be insane. His family was glad to
have him considered insane for the pur-
pose of cheating the electric chair But
no sooner was he safely on the road to
Matteawan than his relatives began to
challenge the verdict which had saved
his life They encouraged him to claim
that he was sane and so free from any
debt of criminality which he had in
Cured.
1t was the same old now-you-see-it and
now you don t-see-it process which Grim
inals of large resources have so often
had invoked in their behalf. Not @
criminal because insane, yet at the same
time not detainable in an asylum because
sane For such the prison and the asy-
lum exist only as means of making the
courts guess which shell the little bal
is under
BY admitting Thaw to bail Judge AL
drieh will break down the case on which
he has been held with so much difficulty
in Matteawan. Even were he to be re-
turned here and reconfined his lawyers
would make quick use of the habeaf
corpus and put the finding of the New
Hampshire commissioners before our
state courts AS the law stands Thaw
can be detained in an asylum only while
he continues to be insane. The chain OF
continuity has now been broken, anc
with it our system Of dealing with Grim
inals adjudged insane has also beer
broken down.
The law ought to be amended so as te
eliminate the present juggling and
equivocation. 1t is not too severe 9
penalty to require person who escapes
murder charge by pleading insanity
to submit to permanent detention there
after as insane. He pays his debt thai

win exemption simply because he puts
up costly legal battle and at last, by
hook or crook, secures court judgment
that is sane.
In one sense 1t would be a good rid
dance if Thaw were to remain forever
out of the jurisdiction of this state. He
has done more than almost any other
criminal to disgrace our legal procedure.
We still have that procedure with us. 1t
should surely be reformed now.
