BOXING-SPORTS OF
Freddie Gilmore, claimant of the
welterweight championship, who was
knocked out in st. Paul last week by
Mike O'DOwd, is no longer under the
management of Doc Krone. In the
future Gilmore's father will handle
his affairs.
Krone has been dissatisfied with Gil
more since the O'Dowd battle. Doc
thought. he was connected with
winner. When he secured Gilmore he
was given nice press notices, and
when Mike Gibbons deserted the vel
ter class there seemed to be little op-
position for Gilmore. Krone says he
was not consulted about the O'Dowd
go, Gilmore's father arranging it.
Krone also asserts Freddie kidded
along through the fight against the
st, Paul man, and, in a careless mo-
ment, allowed a haymaker to land.
He doesn't think O'DOwd could have
won in a week if Gilmore had paid
attention to business.
Jimmy KiIroy, the North Side man.
ager, wants to match his star WeIter,
Young Herman, with Gilmore for a
Labor day battle, either in Madison,
Wis, or Grand Rapids, Mich. Whether
the change in management Of Gil
more will affect the negotiations is
not yet known. Herman's record of
past performances is good.

Illustrated by figures of the last ten
days. In that time the Rowland fell
lows have won eight out of ten
games, giving them a percentage Of
800. Notwithstanding this burst of
speed, they have picked up only half
a game on the leading Red Sox. And
the Red Sox have been on the road.
Going at this rate, even, the South
SideTs would fail to annex the title,
and they will not have such soft op-
position as the New York Yankees
many times. Four wins out of five
starts against the Donovans was
something of a lift.

mission relating to assessment,

The howl which is raised about
back tax collecting, often comes
from people who own but little
property, pay liberal taxes on it
and will never be affected even
remotely by it.
It's operation is usually direct
ed against corporations or indi-
viduals of considerable fortune
who have been getting by with
out paying their just proportion
of taxes.
1t is right and proper that such
cases should be investigated and
it is doubtful if any better way
of handling them can be devised
than the one which obtains at
present.

DEMOCRATIC PAPER
FOR STATE CAPITOL
Paul W. Treanor viii Be at Head
Of Publication to Start at an
Early Date at Nashville.

Throughout the state Demo-
Gratis are rejoicing at the an
nouncement that Paul w. Trean-
or, one of the strongest Demo-
Gratis and ablest newspaper writ
ers in Tennessee, Is to be at the
head of a new Democratic paper
to be published at Nashville.
For many years Mr.. Treanor
has been special correspondent
for a number of state papers at
Nashville, and he is probably
better informed on state political
issues and enjoys a larger ac-
quaintance among politicians
than any other man in the state.
Mr.. Treanor announces that
the Treanor Press Bureau has
been Incorporated, with a capital
stock of SIS, 900, and that at an
early date he will make a trip
over the State for the purpose of
selling stock in the paper.
Already ne has the promised
support of Democrats in every
section, and it is expected that
others will be anxious to help
the venture along, as the need of
a free and untrammeled Demo
cratic newspaper at the state cap
ital has long been felt.
Mr.. ssTreanor states that the
paper will be Democratic to
the core" and that it will not be
published in the interest of any
man or set ofmen, but its efforts
will be directed to the success OF
the party as a whole, without
giving consideration to personal
ambitions.
The fact that Paul Treanor is
to be the editor..of the new paper
is enough to secure the success
of the enterprise. ~

The board of examiners of ap-

present general assembly, chap
ter "A of the acts, and provides

tice medicine as to their literary
qualifications. The new act pro-
vides chat unless an applicant
can show a good literary educa-
ton, he will not be permitted to
take the examination as to his
qualifications and education for
the practice of medicine. The
plan was heartily endorsed by
the medical profession all over
the state, and found favor in the
general assembly.
The examining board, as crea-
ted by the act, is to be composed
of three members who shall act on
the educational qualifications of
the applicants. After the expir-
alton of the terms of the first
three members, the terms will
be for six years each.

The Family Doctor.

Perhaps the hardest worked
and poorest paid man on the
globe is the family doctor"
He looks at tongues, feels
pulses and thumps on human
rafters from "early morn til
dewy eve"
He saws off a leg or an arm,
opens a boil, rips a place in your
'tummy" that looks like an old
fashioned molly pocket" and
re-arranges your sausage castings
without knowing whether he
will everget a cent for it or not.
He keeps an engagement with
the stork at the silent hour of
midnight when "churchyards
yawn and graves give up their
dead" and assists nature to ush-
err into the world a human being
which may grow up to be presi-
dent of the United States or may
turn out to be a professional tan
go dancer, and there are many
cases on record where the good
doctor was never able to collect
the price of admission.
The Doctors gate is off the
hinges, the palings are loose on
his fence, his horse is thin in Or
der, the spokes in his buggy
wheels rattle, his boots are run
down at heel, his clothes are
worn slick and shiny, his hat has
gone to seed, he has a hard time
meeting his bills and what do
people say?
They say, the doctor is a poor
manager and don't take care of
what he makes. -
Take care the devil! how in
thunderation is he going to take
care of what he makes unless he
can get his hands on it?
How many people who read
this owe a doctors's bill which
they could either pay all or part
of?
THE laborer is worthy of his
hire, " if you don't intend to pay
your doctor, quit sending for
him and go out and pull off a
strip of slippery elm bark to
chew when a pain strikes you.
