There are certain creatures who

These carry on miserable existence.
Certain other creatures live on the

life and capable of greater intelll-

are generally very lovely and sing
pretty tunes. They live above the
earth's surface in the free air.
We don't want to go down in sub

will leave a depressing effect on us.
1t is not natural for humans.
There is no need of making such
a congested city center where we
have country of great area.
We want to travel on the earth's

ADVANCEMENT.-T

ADVANCEMENT.-That the civil
lied world is on the verge of ire
mendous struggle cannot be denied.
The voices that proclaim the eve of
revolution are in the air. They are
everywhere. We cannot escape them,
try as we may.
What is the cause of this unrest?
We have seen the world change from
the tallow candle to the electric light,
from the slow methods of transpor-
tation and communication to the aG-
tomobile and wireless biography,
from the primitive implements to the
improved machinery.
Printing, art, science, invention
everything has advanced. Yet, in
spite of all the advancement, fanat-
icism and gross ignorance still exist
In the face of our productive power
poverty is still rampant. Notwith-
standing our legislatures, congress
and senate, the laws are still ineff1-
cient and injustice prevails.
But why do things move so slow
ly? 1t is because people in the mass
haven't developed sufficient intelli-
gence to sweep the old primitive
ideas out of the pathway of tradition.
We are ruled by the dead. We
cling to antiquated laws, made by
men who were hampered by mar
row environment centuries ago. To
come forth with a new idea is still
considered a dangerous task. Our
daily papers in this very age of civil
ization deliberately refuse to print
them. The consequence is that the
readers are deprived of convincing
articles, reading only the newspaper
side of the story. 1t is this under.

FREDDIE WEIGH MUST

Chicago, April 4.-When Light

lenges will be hurled at them in be-
half of fighters who think they have
a chance to dethrone the title-holder
in long engagement. Nate Lewis,
manager of Charley White, and Haw-
ard Carr, who looks after the inter-
ests of Ever Hammer, victor over AID

try to arrange matches with the
champion.
Welsh is slated to meet Richie

ing. Whether the Englishman will
sign for bout with either fighter is
a matter of conjecture, but if he does
it looks like Hammer. He has side
stepped White SO many times that
decision contest does not seem prob
able.
Jess Willard, heavyweight champi-
on, will second Jack Hemple, one Of
his sparring partners, in the latter's
ten-round bout with Lee Nelson at

champion is taking a keen interest
in Hemple and expects him at some
time to hold the title Of which he is
now the possessor
