OSHKOSH, Wis, Aug. 25.- Such
subjects as price fixing, the chain
store and fraudulent advertising were
discussed to-day at the opening ses-
sion of the State Retail Merchants as
ISOLATION. In the discussion advertis-
ing was discussed in it's many phases,
and most of the merchants who spoke
endorsed enthusiastically straight
newspaper advertising as compared
with bill boards, circulars and the
like. Several said the bill boards de-
livered the goods, but for efficiency
and quick returns, newspaper adver-
Using was thorough and efficient.
During the session the Madison

WHAT YOU GOING TO Do?-Th,


Tribune in it's issue of Aug. 81 COM
ments editorially upon the failure of
the national guard in labor disputes.
Says the editorial: "The national
guard not only in Colorado but in
every other state has failed conspicu-
ously in almost every case of labor
trouble. The failure is not the fault
of the guard. 1t ought not to be
domestic police force. Its purposes
are not police purposes"
young men do not want to enlist.
It is not that they are craven, but
they heartily dislike the thought of
killing fellow citizens in protection of
private property. To kill a
striker in their eyes, is murder, as
plainly as the killing of any other hui
man. A sensible state would
have a state constabulary as a po-
lice force"
To the casual reader the last SEN
tence appears innocent enough. La
Dor is more or less familiar with the
national guard" but "constabulary"
needs explaining.
The function of the constabulary
is to act as state police. What is the
necessity of state police when every
city has its regular quota of police?
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-09-07

The answer is, to better protect PIT
vate property in strikes
The inference drawn from the edi-
torial is if the national guard is too
conscientious to kill strikers some
body must be found who is not.
Hence the state constabulary.
In fact, this is actually true. The
state constabulary of Pennsylvania
has perpetrated atrocities upon the
strikers of that state which are paral-
leled only by the brutality and saw
agery of the Russian Cossack. AS a
consequence the constabulary is
known as the Pennsylvania Cossacks.
The idea has been insidiously fos-
tered by the kept press throughout
the country. An attempt was recent
ly made to create a state constabu-
larry in New York. Labor, however,
had it's eyes opened by the radical
press of that state and thus far the
idea has not materialized. Clearly
this is an attempt to further subju-
gate and suppress labor. The danger
is real, not imaginary. You defend
ers of labor, what are you going to
do about it?-WilIiam Greene.

things seem blurred when we look at
them from a great height?-S. G.
AS to our vision when we look
down from a height-the things be-
low us look blurred because we are
not looking straight at them, our
eyes are not parallel with each other,
but are turned slightly inward. And
the reason for this is that usually
when we look downward we look at
things close to us-a book, the floor
or the ground and to see these things
well our eyes turn inward a little;
that is, they converge. They form
the habit of turning in and so when
we look from a height they naturally
converge and blur our view of the
things below us.

BALkS ON GOING TO JuAREz
Hears That Negroes are Treated
 HaTshy There.

El Paso, Texas, March 4.-By cable Jack Curley has asked what induce mcnt would Jess Willard consider to go to Havana to box Johnson. The cablegram was addressed to Tom Jones, manager for Willard, who went into executive session with him. self for the remainder of the day, al- though he announced last night that there was a possibility that the fight could be arranged there. This tele- gram was the solar plexis for the
 Juarez fight, local fans declare.
 Give Johnson an Earful.
 Curley in a personal letter to friends here has declared that the sporting men in Havana had filled the black man full of lies about his treatment if lie went to Mexico, how negroes were especially hated there and how unsafe it would be for him
 to undertake the trip. This and the details of numerous executions of negroes in Mexico seemed to have had it's effect upon the mind of the ne- gro, Curley says, and he had almost
 decided to declare the fight off when , Curley reached there.
 Tex Rickard, the promoter and 1 referee of the Johnson-J effries fight in Reno, has broken into the pos
 sbility'' field, offering to stage the i fight in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The i fight game has been going strong ! down there, he declares, and is willing l to put up a guarantee equal to that i offered by Curley for the battle. But 1 Curleys friends say he will never consent to giving up the fight and will
 stage it either here or in Havana. In l the meantime Willard-Jones ct al.,
 are raking in the jitneys and quarters l at the training camp from hundreds l of cattlemen who are going to the 1 camp to see the white hope.

0p0rtOgraphy
BY "GRAYY.'

If pugilistic titles are to be decided by fighting, and not by press agents the heavyweight champion of tn, world today is undoubtedly Samue Langford. That doesn't help the whitt race any, it must be admitted, bu 1t at least gives honor to whom homo IS due, and "Tham," for all his blacl skin, is about as white" a boxer af can be found. For five years tho sporting writers have been predicting that Langford would soon be mum. bered among tho has-beens, but Lang. ford is still the most feared of al heavyweights Sam was born ir Weymouth, Nova Scotia, March 1886, and will be twenty-nine years old today. He ought to be good enough for several years yet to take the measure of any white hope who will crawl into the ring with him.
 Langford has been fighting for thirteen years, and in that time only two white boxers have ever defeated him. Away back in 1903, when Langford was in the welterweigh ght division, he lost on points in twelve round bout with Danny Duane, a New York boxer. No other paleface ever got d decision over Than until he met Gunboat Smith in Boston late in 1913. By careful management Lang ford managed to make the Gunboat look like the winner, and the referee decided accordingly. Sam was find ing it very difficult to get matches just then, and he can hardly Ike blamed for spoofing bit with Smith. When he met Gunboat again he req lized that it was up to him to redeem his reputation, and he put Smith away just as soon as he felt like it.
 Jack Johnson has never manifested any great desire to meet Sam in the ring since Langford became q real heavyweight. Sam and Jack fought a fifteen-round bout in 1906, when Langford was only a welterweight, and Johnson got the decision.
 In his bouts with Sam McNey, Joe Jeannette and other cullud gents Langford has occasionally gone down to defeat, but his batting average is far the best, and there are those who suspect that Langford has not al- ways put in his best licks when meet ing his meal tickets" In his bouts with Jeannette and McVeY. Langford has usually been content to win on 1 points, although he has occasionally

STORY OF THE BATTLE.

New Britain No. 1 took second place in the all-star duck pin bowling tournament last night at the Aetna alleys when the best teams in this quarter of the state kept the pinboys on leap. The local club won two of it's three games, beating the Casino five of Meriden, and the Casino of Hartford, and losing to Manchester.
 Ed Prior of team No. 1 covered himself with glory by grabbing off first honors for individual work, splitting the wood for total of 125 In the second string.
 New Britain No. 3 did not fare so badly, coming in sixth on the home stretch. A big gallery was on hand to see the sharpshooters bang the targets. The scores:

James Names own Terms.

Macon, Ga, March 4.-George Stal- lingS, manager of the Boston Nation- als, gave out this statement last night relating to the signing of Pitch CT William James:
 James contract was made at his own solicitation and has two years to run with the Boston club. It was made in the presence of witnesses at James own request. He dictated the terms of the contract and insist ed upon the ten day clause being elim- mated and stated to witness that if he received the figures of his con- tract he would be satisfied for the rest of his life. The Federal league was not mentioned during the execu- tion of the contract"

New York, March 4.-If there is a secret in the handling of shotgun young Ralph K. Spotts, the fourteen
 year-old son of the champion, Ralph H. Spotts, has surely discovered and applied it. Shooting against thirteen others, including his rather, at the regular weekly shoot of the Larch- mont Yacht club, held here recently, he walked off with four prizes out of the seven matches. His first win was the February cup. He mad a previous leg for it and recently in which he returned full score, won him the

Eight more ties of full scores of twenty-five were returned in the next match for the accumula- tion cup, and in thl is the boy was the winner in the shoot-off, and in the 100 bird handicap ties, three of which were shot-off, he again was the victor. Excluding his ten and fifteen bird" scratch contest figures, it was found that he had broken eighty-one bluerocks out of his 100.

ABUSE OF RAILROADS NO "a
LONGER THE OPEN DOOR

Twenty years ago abuse Of the
national banks was an open
avenue to political honors at the
hands of the people. That has
changed and the people are
proud of a stable banking syss
tenn, banks that earn good diyi-
dends, and whose shares are at
a premium. The sentiment still
prevails that abuse of railroads
and hammering public utilities Is
popular as a vote-gcttng device.
The belief has prevailed that in
striking at a railroad the people
were striking at some mag
nate" or at some group of rich
men which owned the road.
In a recent address, President
Sproule of the S. p. Co, showed
the truth to be that every blow
struck at the railroads is a blow
struck at 100000 stockholders,
who have invested their savings
In securities; at 1,750,00 en-
ployes whose living depends on
the railroads; at II, 100000 saw
ings bank depositors, and at the
millions Of insurance policy-hol-
ders, a large part of, whose funds
are invested in railroads. 'ss
When these facts are consid-
cred, 1t will be seen that striking
at the railroads the people strike
at themselves. ~
! The Oregonian in an able .edi-
torial shows that aside from
these facts, the prosperity Of the
people Is bound up with that of
the railroads, especially In the
Pacific Northwest where the
greatest need is new railroads to
develop our rich but sparcely
peopled wastes.
| The surest means of supplying
this need is, to insure prosperity
to existing roads.
A man who has invested $1,000
In certain place, with good re-
suits, is inclined to follow It with
another $1,000, but II the results
have been bad he will be apt to
shun such investments for the
rest of his life. Prosperous rail-
roads give good service and
spread prosperity by buying ma
terial and employing labor, with
which they dispense in times OF
stringency.
Since railroads have come un.
der public regulation, state ant
interstate, all excuse that evel
existed for popular hostilities to
them has been removed. Thi.
hostility should not have beer
felt against the roads themselve,
but against those individuals
who manage them in q manner
