Championship Fights.

Two well known ring champions are to defend their titles on Labor Day. and if we accept the opinion of the wise ones there will be two new titleholders when the sun goes down on the evening Of September 4. Freddie %elsh is to meet Char ley White and 5ohnny Kilbane fea- therwcight champion, is scheduled to fight George Chanoy. Wise ones, however, are invariably poor at picking winners, therefore we are inclined to believe that the wise course to pursue will be to string along on the present champions. They haven't shown any signs of slowing mp and there is nothing to
 indicate that White and Clancy are better than Welsh and Kilbane.

Dorothy Bernard in "The Little Gypsy." which is really the story Of "Thc Little Minister" under an- other name. made a big hit last night at the 0rpheum. The scenery is excellent and the acting is unex- ccllcd. The flood scene when the dam breaks and allows the waters of the lake to rush down the val ley is piece of photography which will make the most blase sit mp in seats. The old Scotch elders of the church are true to life in every way. Taken as a whole "The Little Gypsy" IS an excellent example Of thc art of movie photography and acting.

LET THE PUBLIC KNOW.

Too frequently the public fails to
realize that nearly all public service
corporations, in addition to the usual
expense of wages, maintenance and
operation, are called upon to meet
many other charges not directly relat-
ed to their operation, but rather en-
forced contributions for the public
benefit.
Very wisely the Chicago surface
lines, for example, are reminding the
public of the extent to which they
serve. In their good will adver-
Using campaign they bring out the
fact that paving, maintaining and
cleaning of their right of way have
cost them over $14.OOO.O 900 in the past
nine years. The city's So per cent of
net receipts has amounted to over
S17.0O0,0OO more. without count
ing the s9,761.0OO spent for taxes"
say the companies. during this period
the companies have been required to
expend-not for transportation pur-
poses but to meet public burdens-the
enormous sum of over 100000.
Putting the facts frankly before the
thinking public, says Leslies. is a wise
move for every large corporation, pub
lie or private From prejudiced and
ignorant criticism all corporations
have suffered tremendously in the
past; such unanswered criticism has
made the recent extremes of prosecu-
ton and even persecution possible
Conversely, putting the corporation's
side of it squarely before the public
will do more than anything else to in
sure the corporations receiving the
same kind of square dear it is Civ

even went so far as to practice in
whispers the words and sentences he
intended to use. His heart was light
a feather, the stars were diamonds
and the air seemed to caress him with
silky smoothness.
Tracy did not feel at all guilty of
having resorted to a far-fetched
means of gaining her attention so that
he could talk to her. 1t was not very
uncommon for practical jokers to
string wires and strings across the
channel to annoy those taking boat
thru.
Within fifteen minutes of the time
he had landed he heard the boat
bearing the songstress coming toward
the landing. She was silent now, but
the splash and creaking OF the oars
were sufficient tell-tales 1t was too
dark to see her boat distinctly; 1t
seemed like a grey shadow upon the
waters. AS it neared the entrance 1t
was lined up with splendid precision.
and with two or three strong pulls
was sent correctly into the channel.
Tracy waited in breathless excite
ment until he saw the shadowy skiff
hesitate and rebound. After this
, there was a scraping of oars and
sp1ashing of water as the boat flOun-
dered against the banks. Then, with
! his heart in his throat and trembling
with anticipation, Tracy rose and
walked over to where his adored
songstress was captive. The boat was
in the shadow of tn. bridge. and con-
sequently he could not see her, but

The accession of Lloyd-George to
the premiership of England is sub
stantial victory for the woman sur
fragists, altho they may have had no
part in his elevation to that position.
As far back as 1913 he said: Il have
long been a convinced advocate OF
woman suffrage and am now firmer
than ever in supporting it. 1t seems
to me necessary and desirable conse-
aucnce of the vast extension of the
functions of government which the last
century and a half has witnessed No
franchise bill can ever again be brought
forward in this country without raising
the whole problem OF whether you are
going to exclude more than half the
citizens of the land. Women have en-
tered pretty neal,v every sphere of
commerce and industry and profess
sional activity and public employ
ment, and there never was time
when tho nation stood more in need

sympathy of womanhood in the man
