Success to You'' became an ex- pression of meeting and parting some time ago. It had a meaning and though such phrase was used for may years it was only when Morton and Moore, those two classy vaude- vile comedians made that meaning clear in a series of excruciatigly funny oddities that it became popular in the mouths of the up-to-date theatre-goers.
 Morton & Moore are seen again in Bridgeport today and are keeping PoIi audiences convulsed with their chatter and direct from the Big Town stuff. Last week they played the Palace theatre, New York's big gest and best. They are a sure bet for real amusement of the extraordinary Kind.

 OF RING BATTLES

1893-steve O'Donnel1 and Frank Craig fought Around draw at Phila- delphia. This was the first American battle of O'Donnell, who was a native of Australia, and stood over feet in height and weighed 190 pounds. O'Donnen afterwards knocked out old Jake Kilrain at Coney Island, Billy Woods at Montreal, and defeated other good men, and looked like a conner. Jim Corbett then took charge of the husky, good-na tured Australian, de- claring that he was a word-beater. Corbett was then champion, but he declared that he was ready to retire and hand over the title to O'Donneu if the latter succeeded in whipping Peter Maher. The Maher-O'DonneII contest was staged at Maspeth in 1895, and Peter knocked Steve out in the first round with a couple of punches to the chin. Steve was afterwards de- feated by Kid Mccoy and Joe ChOyn- ski and retired from the game, later becoming boxing instructor at Harvard University. O'Donne1l was the first of many lemons Jim Corbett had picked in the garden of pugilisn. Since then "Gentleman Jim' has taken several other fighters under his wing, the lat est having been Tom Cowler, but none of them succeeded in bringing home the bacon.

talking about" said a busl-
ness man the other day.
While my family is away
for the Summer, | dine here

hot to eat, but as soon as |
strike the BELLECLAIRE

say nothing of your good

ing the Senate yesterday afternoon on
the Japanese problem in America. de-
clared that the issue could be solved only
by keeping the Pacific ocean between peo-
pies of the two nations. Because of the
essential racial differences. the senator
declared there could be no racial toler-
ance ofthe japanese. because that in
evitab1y would lead to race amalsama-
ton, which is unthinkable. The sem
ator further argued that the time had
come when the United States, as an act
of self-preservation. should declare by
statute mot to tolerate further race
complications on our soil. by preventing
immigration of all peoples not OF the
white race"

Nor does it meet the necessity" he
continued, "of excluding those who arc

that is most Objectionable. Neither

going to result from the incoming of

pect.
THE best means of national defense
is the enactment of just laws and the
fearless enforcement of them. II we
had long ago enacted laws excluding
all from the country who were
not eligible to become citizens we
would not have 10000 Japanese in the
United States. $4,000 of whom are in
California. We have temporized and
compromised our just rights, which has
brought about the present complica-
tions that may imperil our friendly
relations with the Japanese nation. We
should temporize no longer. If we do.
we will come to regret it. II war with
Japan comes. what then? Have we
prepared for it? Will we be prepared
for it if the proposed program of mill
tary and naval expansion is carried
out? No; not on the Pacific coast. To
make the Pacific coast states secure,
we must have two armies and two
navies, one on each of the seacoasts.
IT do not believe we are going to
have war with Japan, but those who
think so should see to 1t that the
