they were there in large numbers.
The big hall was crowded when the
fun opened at $3.50 o'clock. A sprinkling
of city officials and members of the
legislature were seen in the audience,
and they appeared to be having the time
of their lives. A few short talks, vocal
and instrumental music, storytelling,
wrestling and boxing bouts made up an
excellent program of entertainment. Dur
ing the evening force of courteous
walters, volunteers from the union, fire.
quently passed through the audience,
dispensing refreshments, consisting OF
Denver -brewed beer in bottles, soda wa
ter, sandwiches and Denver-made blue
label cigars. In the center of the hall
an elevated boxing ring was erected that
gave everyone present ringside seat for
the athletic events, which were as fol-
lows:
First bout--three rounds of high-class
boxing between Kid Plank and Kid Pete,
two coming youngsters.
Second bout-wrestling match, one
fall, between Cad Higgins and Roy
McGlone.
Third bout-five-round go between
Jack Calvin and Joe Bush.
Fourth bout-this was the main event
of the evening; an eight-round boxing
contest between George Pauldino and
Dick Cain. 1t was a hummer and kept
the big crowd at tense excitement, a
draw verdict being rendered by the
referee.
The committee of arrangements con-
sisted of Frank A. Bryan, chairman;
William Wilson, Dave Stebbene, Clayton
Lohr and C. +. Christensen.

Justice Hughes's Sound View.
(Hartford Courant.) }

1t is safe to say that no Republican,
and consequently no citizen of the
United States, could easier be elected
president than Charles Z. Hughes, but
he has spoken and declared among
other things that he is mot avail
able. That is where he shows again
his wise judgment.
Our Supreme Court is the most i'm
portant and most honored body in the
world. 1t stands apart and utters the
final word as to the Interpretation of
the Constitution which is at the basis
of our government. 1t is true that
politics counts in the selection of the
justices always has counted. But,
once on the bench, the justices are sup
posed to know no politics, and, as a
rule, this: is a Correct assumption.
Surely the less they-eonsider it the bet
ter for the country.
If the prize of the presidency were
considered open to those gentlemen
and they or anyone of them saw ii
dangling within reach, how long would
it be before the whole body was af
feeted by political ambitiona Mr.
Hughes has laid down proposition
which is indisputably sound, even if his
refusal otherwise is not so strong as il
might have been made.

The Manchester Union is generally
on the right side. Speaking of the in
evitable coming of suffrage for women
it says: "Already over four million
women have been placed in the matter
of a ballot upon an equality with men,
and the presence in the electorate of
these four million women voters make
certain that both great national par
ties in their platforms in 1916 will in
clude planks favorable to woman suf-
frage. The problem of the extension
the suffrage to those states which
have not as yet granted it does not
deal with the question of whether that
extension shall be made, or not, but
merely how long delayed it will be ir
arriving. Presumably the movement
will continue to progress, state by
state, for few years longer, and then
when sufficient number of states
have enfranchised their women, an
amendment to the federal constitution
will bring into line those tardy com
Imonwealths which have stubbornly
withheld the ballot from their women
folk. The anti-sufragists, both male
and female in New Hampshire, cannot
defeat the movement to give the vote
to women. They can only delay

One of the most wholesome tenden-
cies observable in New England is
shown in the spread of the idea that
our commercial greatness in the future
depends upon making the products of
our manufactures stand first of all for
quality This section has lost, and still
is losing, many industries producing
the coarser and heavier lines of goods
as, for example, the stove industry We
can afford to, according to the Boston
Transcript, for with the education of
successive generations of skilled me-
chanics our field, while narrowed, has
been at the same time perfected. This
is the era, in our highly specialized in
dustries, of what may be called inten-
sified manufacturing. Our labor, too
skilled to be content with the primitive
forms of production, and too highly
paid to be profitable when employed at
such work, can best be used in the
making of those goods which demand
high prices through quality. As if in
recognition of this fact, the New
England jewelry manufacturers have
taken step to enhance the value OF
their output, by raising the standard
of their wares, that is significant OF
the modern trend in business. Their
proposal, originating within the trade
itself, and due to no pressure from
without, to amend the nationa
stamping act so that an established
standard of quality shall do for jew
elry what the word sterling whel
stamped on silverware has done fo
that product, and thus at once protee

It was hardly to be expected that

at the present time, the timber going

Panama canal and northward to New
London, where it is loaded on Central

revolutionized transportation service;

that it is their duty to be calm, be,
cause the occasion is too serious for
in vain excitement. And
happily there is at the head of the
nation man of proved strength and
balance. President Wilson, because
of his strength and the habitual sober
ness of his judgment, will resist all
promptings to unreasonable or hasty
action. But he knows the people who
have put him at the head of the ma
ton, he will instinctively know and
understand the feeling that pervades
the country today, and he will respond
to it by taking the firm, wise course

The railroads in New England are
making an extra effort to keep tres
passers off their right of way. 1t is
against the law to walk on the tracks,
but people do it. 1t Is mostly done by
mill hands, to get the short way to
mill and dinner, but it results in many
deaths. In nine years there have been
$4,000 people killed and 5000 injured
while walking the tracks. The rail
roads do not like to kill people, and
particularly is it distressing to the
engineer and the train crew It is
largely by reason of the strain on the
engineers that the crusade against
track walkers is being pushed. Yet
when the railroads try to get laws en-
acted or enforced that viii protect
these persons from their own folly, or
when they try to enforce their own
regulations for the protection of the
public, what happens? Not long ago
the New Haven put up 10000 new
signs along its lines warning persons
of the peril of using the tracks as
streets. Hundreds of the signs have
been defaced or destroyed. In one Con-
necticut town, where the track was
persistently used as a short cut, the
company put up q wire fence to keep
the trespassers off. The fence was torn
down as fast as it could be put up. In
January of this year New Haven trains
killed four persons who were walking
on the tracks, in February eight and
| in March Is.
