ABLE TO HAVE THEM.
burlington HaMkeye.l


keystone has just dedicated one OF
the finest school buildings to be found
anywhere in the land in q town OF her
size or perhaps double her size. And
there is reason for this keystone rs
the richest township in Benton county.
In addition to this beautiful school
house. II has two banks, with deposits
Of almost half million dollars.
There's a reason for that fine school
house. Iowans have always been
proud of their school houses. When
log houses were tho rule, the school
was housed as well as most OF the
people. When the little red school
house came into vogue. the people
were justly proud OF that. It was the
best that they could afford. Since the
price OF all agricultural products has
gone up and the price OF land has
neared or passed the 5000 mark.
Iowans can afford better school houses
han they ever had in the past. and
they get such school houses, jus; as
they got autos. when they found that
they had ample means for getting
them.

ing men who are today declaring that
they have signed their last petition OF
consent. Should the anti saloon element

dioted they will profit by this eenti-
ment We would NOT, however, venture
the opinion that this sentiment will
continue. Many who are opposing the
liquor traffic In the labor movement to-
day arc doing It under the spur OF IN
tiignation. Il will be remembered thaf
the liquor interests obtained control OF
the Labor League during the last city
campaign. They worked" the labor
movement beautifully. When election
day came, however. the workers for the
saloons promptly became the workers
for candidates whom labor was oppos-
ing, and knitted tho labor candidates.
These facts are incontrovertible. AS q
consequence tho liquor interests must
and probably do expect reta1atory
measures, especially while this double
cross" Is fresh in the minds of the v0t-
ers. @'aisks
The Unionist does not mean to say
that labor will universally turn down
the saloon, burt we do believe that the
liquor interests fouled their own nests
last spring, and must expect to pay tho
bill therefor. II action Is delayed on
the question, this effect will wear on
with time, but such time has not yot
iarrived.
The daily press Is making much over
the alleged sentiment in the city coun-
Gil against the liquor question, and are
lining up the different members OF the
council in combinations which would
seem to mean that saloon licenses will
NOT be renewed for 1915, This impress
sion is also shared in a measure by the
saloon men themselves. If one forms
opinions from the atmosphere OF today.
It will be conceded that the saloons OF
pes Moines will probably close during
the early part of the year. This would
mean that decision OF the court will
probably be hurried in their interests.
If that decision is adverse to the liquor
interests it will probably sound the
knell OF the saloon in Des Moines for
years to come. because new petition
OF consent will be exceedingly hard to
obtain in the near future

FAMILY OFFICERS.

lCham berlain in Sioux City Journal
Nowadays one frequently enters a.
public Office where the occupant -
found surrounded by several members
of his family or other relatives. acting
as deputies or clerks. This Is quite
forehanded on the part OF the official.
and shows keen disposition to extend
the soothing shade Of the fam
fly tree. Sometimes one finds
. gentle wife filing a clerk
ship under her spouse, oftener 1t is
a son or a daughter. and in few
cases the writer has known OF sweet
heart serving in such capacity. What
/ is to be said about it? L. It all right.
this placing Of relations In ones pub
lie office. or is 1t all wrong? Well. In
the first place. good service is the lead
| ing issue. A man who IL smart enough
to get an office was quite likely bright
enough 10 get good wife. one who
would fill with satisfaction to the pub
| lie a deputyship or clerkship In her
husbands office. The same thought
would apply to a son or daughter. and
with a grain Of allowance, to a be-
trothed. The practice does not al
ways look like good politics. as 1t pays
no political debts or promises. blu; II
Is thrifty. intensely thrifty. The case
Of Mr.. McAdoo In his father-in-law's
cabinet comes to mind. 1t may be re-
membered that in this case Mr.. Nc
Adoo was given his portfolio many
months before Mr.. Wilson's daughter
}became his blushing bride.
It is doubtful whether the genera
mind is perfectly serene as to this fam
lily office practice. Perhaps a little
newspaper sitting Of the matter woul6
reveal the fact that the public con-
isc'ence is against it. 1, has been stated
that 1t shows thrift, 1t likewise dis
closes rather hard and narrow brand
iof seifishness, not in harmony with the

men who had been killed in the ring ''in the last few years As some of the cases cited were as far back as 1S94-although the writer carefully refrained from giving the dates of any but recent ring fatalities-we may suppose the list covered at least twenty years. This list included both amateur and professional bouts in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and France. Although, it proved that boxing is horribly brutal and vicious pastime and peculiarly deadly.
 Sixty deaths in twenty years is an average of three per year, as our staff mathematical expert figures it. Aw- ful, is it not? Yes, it is not, when compared with the fatality lists of other sports.
 Figures recently compiled show that last year there were thirty five deaths due to baseball. Of these twenty were fatally injured by pitched balls, five were struck by bats, four died of over-exertion. one was fatally injured in sliding for a base, and one was killed in a fight.
 Nobody wants to abolish baseball, and it is not usually ranked as a dan gerous sport, but if statistics prove anything they prove that baseball is far more hazardous than boxing It may be urged that more men and boys play ball than put on the gloves and this is probably true of the do- minion and the states, but it must be remem bered that the boxing fatal ity figures include Great Britain and France, where nearly everybody boxes more or less, and baseball is played not at all.
 And football? Figures covering the football fatalities since 1902. covering only that part of the United States where the American intercollegiate game is played, show that the deaths resulting from the gridiron game in that restricted area have never been less than eleven year, and have been as high as forty-four. It must be considered, too, that football is played only during a small part of the year while boxing is a year-round game. Since the beginning of the present century the death list for the Ameri- can intercollegiate game has been about 250, while more than ten times that numbe have been more or less seriously injured
 The real objection to boxing sim mers down to the fact that boxing is not usually considered gentleman sport Many of "our very best peo pie" go to football games, which gives eclat to that sport, as also to polo, which is not absolutely free from danger to the participants. A few peo- pie are killed, too, in motor racing. But so many common people are interested in boxing. Therefore, down with it.

THOMAS PRAISES KOPF.
Believes Local Boy Will Play Second
 Regularly For Athletics.

New Haven, Jan. 2.-Considerable mystery surrounds the presence in this city of Captain Ira Thomas of the Philadelphia American league baseball club who arrived here last night and registered at the Hotel Garde. Thomas declared that he was here on business trip and he would give no further particulars regarding his unexpected invasion of New Ha- ven.
 Thomas would not discuss the Feder- al league but came across with boost for Billy kopf, the former New Haven shortstop. "Kopf is a mighty good man." said Thomas, and l be- lieve he will be placed at second base for US next season, that position hav- ing been made vacant by the sale Of Collins.
 He would not comment on Bill Jen- sen, who was drafted by the Athletics from the New Haven club last fal. Thomas is former Connecticut leaeuer and has now outlived his days as an active catcher. He is now member of the Mack board of strat- egy.

 bition for Waterbury Club.

Waterbury. Jan. 2.--In slow, fcatureless bout. Gunboat Smith and Battling I.evinsky, heavyweights. fought twelve rounds to a draw here last night.
 Smith was the aggressor through out, but was unable to land his blows effectively. Levinsky apparently con- tented himself with warding off the Gunboat's blows, and only occasional ly did he display any aggressive work.
 There were no knockdowns, and neither fighter was marked There was considerable clinching. The crowd hissed the men during the fight, and especially at the close.
 Wild Bill Fleming. of Oldtown, Me-, won on points over Red Ames, of Hartford, in the semi-final. Elem ing forced the fighting but Ames was the cleverer of the two. Spike Car dell and Chick Carbon. two local boys, hooked up in the preliminary The former won via. a knockout in the sixth round.
 Only 900 witnessed the bouts and the promoters lost money again. Charley White, of New York, was the referee.

TO-DAY IN PUGILISTiC ANNALS.

1S99-Matty Matthews and Owen ziegler fought twenty-round draw at Brooklyn. Matty. who was a product of the East Side" of New York, and Ziegler, who was a Pennsylvanian, met in the ring no less than seven times. Their first argument was at Paterson, N. J., in 1898, and went twenty rounds to draw. Later in the same year they fought fifteen rounds, with the same result, in To- ronto. The third fight was in Brook lyn. and a little later they mixed in Chicago, this also ending in draw. In 1900, shortly before he became welterweight champion, Matty finally triumphed and knocked Owen out in the second round at Youngstown, o. They then fought another draw in Philadelphia. but in 1902 Matthews defeated ziegler in Savannah.
 1S92-Joe Goddard defeated Ned Ryan in fifth round at Melbourne, Aus.
 1S94-Y oung Griffo and Solly Smith fought six-round draw at Chicago.
 1911-Jim Flynn stopped Tony Caponi in ninth round at Los Angeles.

Best Man in Navy Beaten.

New York, Jan. 2.-New Years callers were many at the Broadway $. c. in Brooklyn yesterday afternoon but it is safe to say that at least four of those present wished that they had taken some other method of spending the time before supper. Just as an example we might mention one Sailor Fritts, who claims to be the best heavyweight Uncle Sam's navy ever produced. If Fritts is the best. the worst must be awful, for the Sailor got a walloping from Tom McCarty that caused him to seek refuge on the mat no less than six times during two and one-half rounds.
 Fritts Was Game.
 F'ritts, if he proved nothing else. showed that he was game. Three times in the first round he was put down an dhad to take the count Each time he got to his feet in a rather painful manner and seemed to wait the final punch. But McCarty was not there. One thing the big western lad must be taught, is to judge distance. Fritts should have been put away in the first session. but McCarty was too anxious and he swung right and left missing by half a foot each time The bell sounded good to Fritts.
 Tn the second, Fritts seemed to have recuperated a whole lot, and he made a good fight for about two minutes Tritts had opened an old cut on Me Cartys cheek bone in the first, and the blood from this poured out until it looked as if the cwboy was badly hurt. This evidently did not bother Mac for after fooling around with short left hooks and ia bs he again turned loose his right, and down went the Sailor. The bell again saved the pride of the Navy
 The third was short and sweet McCarty rushed bis man and kept on top of him all the way Fritts after stopping few snappy lefts with his face was bewildered, and his legs shook under him. Knowing that he had little chance. F'ritts rushed in to try his haymaker. McCarty waiting for just such a move planted left straight on the Sailors jaw. Fritts went down, and at nine got up again only to be met with a volley of right S and lefts that put him out for almost a minute.
