the ring game, he believes he can
make a better showing against Glib
bons than either Ciab5y or McGoorty.
That the match will prove a magnet
for the promoters goes without say
ing Since his victories over Clabby
and McGoortv. Gibbons services have
been in demand. Although Gilmore is
an unknown quantity to most Of the
promoters, he can be relied upon 10
put up a rafting good fight. He knows
all the fine points of the game. and he
has a solid punch in his right hand.

TRANSFER OF GOOD WILL"

The number OF for sale" advertise
ments In the liquor journals at the
present time Is noticeable and sisnih-
cant. One headed Exceptional Op-
portunity" states that an "old, estab-
lished. active whisky house contem'
plates retiring from business January
1 next" The date is well chosen, for
It is a popular and fashionable time
for retiring from the liquor business.
The liquor dealers OF Washington,
Oregon. Colorado. Idaho. Arkansas
and Iowa are indulging In the same
kind OF contemplation as Exceptional
Opportunity" spurred on. To be sure,
by the action Of their respective legis'
Iatures and the voters OF their states.
Exceptional Opportunity" however.
has the advantage OF them. for he
offers for sale with the whisky estab-

bargain In good will. to be sold at re-
duced rates, TO the highest bidder,
but. mind you. not the good will OF
the men who have been ruined by
the poison manufactured by this wh!s-
ky house: not the good will OF the
wives and children OF the men who
drank away their health and intellect
and character; not the good will OF the
taxpayers who have been burdened
with the care OF the product OF the
whisky house. No. all the wealth OF
the world could not purchase the
good will" OF these unwilling parties
to the contract Of sale by which this
transfer OF property shall be made-s
transfer that makes possible the con
tinuation OF a business In the train OF
which follow unspeakable woe and

GERMAN VESSELS SUNK
In Gulf Of Riga, Alsa Four 6arques
With Soldiers.

Petrograd.-The German dread
nought Moltke, three cruisers and
seven torpedo boats were sunk by
Russians in the battle in the Gulf Of
Riga, according to an announcement
made by the President of the Duma.
Crippled by these losses the German
feet withdrew from the gulf. The
feet had conveyed a large number
OF troops through the Moon Sund and
was endeavoring to cover their land
ing at Pernpvin (Pernogol, about 80
miles north Of Riga. on the east side
of the gulf, when the Russians at
tackled. Four enormous barques,
crsmmed with soldiers. attempted the
landing. They were met by the fire
of Russian troops on shore and. ac-
cording to the announcement OF the
President of the Duma, were extermi-
mated. The barques were captured.

SPECIAL FAV0RS TO
TENNESSEE GAMERS
Amendment TO Child Labor Law
Passed This Year.
NEED FOR A FEDERAL LAW.

An effort made in New York last
winter TO grant canneries special ia
vors by permitting them to work their
operatives longer hours was strongly
condemned by the press throughout the
country. and the attempt failed. But
no attention was paid to Tennessee
when she did the same thing at about
the same time. In fact, the National
Child Labor Committee regards the
Tennessee amendment as far more Sc
rious than the New York one would
have been since the change in the New
York law would not have affected any
children under sixteen, while the Ten
nessee amendment permits children un-
der fourteen to work In canneries and
for unlimited hours per day.
"It Is strange how many states fail to
realize that children are more valuable
than fruits and vegetables" said Owen
X. Lovejoy, general secretary OF the
National Child Labor Committee. In
commenting ON Tennessee's action.
The idea is so common that canning
goods Is more important than protect
ing children that we find not only Ten
nessee. but Delaware, Maryland. In
diana. Maine and Virginia. making spe-
cial exemptions to their child labor
laws for the benefit of canneries. while
Mississippi does not regulate them at
all. do not know why the idea should
prevail that employment In canneries
cannot possibly be harmful to children
when the conditions there are usually
worse than In factories.
I'VE feel that the only successful
way 10 meet the cannery situation Is
through the federal law which will be
introduced In the next congress and
which. II passed. would prohibit the
shipment outside the state Of canned
goods which children under fourteen
had helped to manufacture or on which
they had worked more than eight hours
a day. A letter came to us the other
day from woman who wished to
know what variety of canned goods she
could buy and feel sure that no chill
dren had worked on 1t. We could not
tell her. but we did tell her that II she
would help us in passing n federal law
she could buy any kind of canned
goods with safety"
