Hide-bound moralists and carpinp
newspapers profess to believe that it
is something terrible for the state
of Minnesota to legalize clean-cut
public boxing matches. In the Cen.
tury Magazine for March there an.

ship of the world. She was the only
woman among the ten Thousand
spectators, was treated with the
utmost courtesy and saw or heard
nothing offensive. In describing the
fight she says:
"Along with this absence of bru.
tality was complete absence of the
ferocity that I dreaded, an entire
lack of anything like temper or fury.
Not once did I see that sinister
tighting-face which Richie displayed
in the training camp. Rather would
l describe their look as one of stu
pendous concentration. It was the
expression that you see in jugglers
and acrobats when they approach
the climax of their act, but that
look raised to the nth. power. - - -,
In concluding her interesting arti-
Gle the writer unreservedly indorses
boxing matches in these words:
''The. truth is, 1 think, that there
should be not less boxing in the
world, but more. Every boy should
be taught to box; it should be in
cluded in the school curriculum. For
of all exercises it is the most manly,
beautiful, and thrilling. 1t de-
velops not the strength and skill of
the body alone. but certain noble
qualitis of the mind and heart,
particularly the instinct for fair
play. The majority of people ignor-
antly believe that only the low
proved and brutalized enjoy it. On
the contrary, it is quite as inspiring
to painters and sculptors, who deal
in beauty. In fact, all kinds of men
enjoy it. If ever again I am asked
if I think prize-fghting is wrong,
I shall have to say, as do in regard
to most questions Of right or wrong,
I don't know But in all Justice
I shall have to add. The major arts
compete for prizes, why not the
minor .ones?' and in all truth, If

THE PRESIDENTS NOTE.

TIE PRESIDENT,S NOTE. $50 :
Last Friday President Wilson's
note to the German government,
relative to the torpedoing 81 the
Lusitania, and the attacks on the
American vessels Gulfight and Cush-
ing, was given to the public, but at
the present writing no reply has been
received from Germany.
I The presidents note has the right
ring to TIT is courteous, dignifed
and thoroughly American. Here are
few OF it's most striking passages
American citizens act within
their indisputable rights in taking
their ships and in travelling wherever
their legitimate business calls them
upon the high seas, and exercise
those rights in what should be the
we'll justified confidence that their
lives will not be endangered by acts
done in clear violation of unive1 sally
acknowledged international obliga-
tion, and certainly in the confidence
that their own government will sus-
tain them in the exercise Of their
rights.
"The American government con-
fidently expects, therefore, that the
imperial German government will
disavow the acts of which the, gov
eminent of the United States COM
plains, that they will make repara-
tion so far as reparation is possible
for injuries which are without
measure, and that they will take i'm
mediate steps to prevent the recur-
renee of anything so obviously SUBJ
versive of the principles of warfare
for which the imperial German gov
eminent have in the past so wisely
and so firmly contended.
"The government and people of
the United States look to the imper-
ial German government for just.
prompt and enlightened action in
this vital matter: with the greater
confidence because the United States
and Germany are bound together not
only by special ties of friendship,
but also by the explicit stipulations
of the treaty of 1928 between the
United States and the Kingdom of
Prussia. .-ss :. ..... .
Expressions OF regret and offers
of reparation in case of the destruc-
5ion of neutral ships sunk by mis-
take, while they may satisfy inter-
national obligations if no loss of life
results, cannot justify or excuse a
practice, the natural and necessary
effect of which is to subject neutral
nations and neutral persons to new
and Unreasonable risks.
''The imperial German govern
ment will not expect the govern
ment of the United States to omit
any word or any act necessary to the
performance. of it's sacred duty of
maintaining the rights of the United
States and it's citizens, and of safe
guarding their free exercise and
enjoyment.
The note has met with the hearty
approval of the press and people of
the country. In whatever action
the president may be obliged to take
to maintain the honor and dignity
of the United States he will have
the whole hearted support of all
patriotic Americans. -

going to so much worry and trouble in pre-
pairing a note that Secretary BRYAN had to
stick Bryan to.
Just simple. short message signed "Hoke"
would have settled the Whole matter. and we
would not now be in suspense about war.
Yes, sir, Senator Hokc says that England
has promised to pay for the cotton seized but
that he does not see anv Of his people getting
the money-meaning the people to whom his
Regional bank loaned money to buv the
farmers cotton at six cents-the same people
who then had the Government to insure it for
them at $40 per bale, and pay them the $40
per bale for that which was lost out of the
$50 per bale that the farmer got for it.
Have you noticed how our Secretary of
State has gone into eclipse-how little YOU
have heard of him since the German crisis
has been on?
President Wilson himself prepared our
note to Germany-he then consulted with Mr..
Lansing about it, and he and Mr.. lansing
put the finishing touches on.
Apparently. not one thing did Mr. BRYAN
have to do with it until he was told to stick
his official fist to document that the Pres-
dent and his (Bryans) assistant had pre-
pared.
Never in the history of our country has
a President SO openly snubbed his Secretary
of State. virtually calling public attention to
the fact that the Secretary was incompetent,
and that assistant bad to help prepare
State document that should have been pre-
pared by the Secretary himself.
How Mr.. Bryan continues to hold his
office and self-respect, too is beyond the un-
derstanding of the majority Of US, unless we
admit that Mr.. Bryan is lacking in finer feel
lng-unless he has become so crazy to earn
the almighty dollar that he will submit to
anything to hold the office that adds to his
drawing power on the lecture platform.
When Mr.. Bryan was appointed Secretary
of State. we predicted that he would soon
show his true worth-that in statesman's
job he would prove an empty wind TANNER,
and it would mean the elimination of Mr..
Bryan hereafter for any high political Office
What we believed would prove to be true
has proved to be true, and President Wilson
has advertised the fact as publicly as Mr..
Bryan's worst enemies could ever wish it to
be done.
And there is no sympathy expressed for
the Secretary of State-only humiliation over
the fact that he has been allowed to retain the
high office, and make us look weak and ride
ulous to the whole world.
