PAYING OTHER PEOPLES BILLS.

When you contract d bill IN
commercial life you pay the debt
aud do not ask others to pay it
for YOU.
The same, however, can not
te said Of congress or the gov
ernment Of the United States.
There are thousands OF men
serving in the National Guard
regiments on the border who
have left families or dependent
relatives behind without the ne
cesSary means Of sustaining life
while the bread winner Is away
serving his country.
In many cases the business
employers Of these soldiers have
voluntarily been paying their
employees their salaries while
they are with the army. In such
cases the families DO not suffer:
but it is hardship on the em-
pioyer.
In other cases the dependent
families arc supported by local
contributions, which amounts to
nothing less than charity.
Is this right:
Should the government Of the
United States. the richest nation
in the world, expect the depend
ent families Of its soldiers to be
supported by private charity or
starve to death.
Is a system that permits such
conditions 10 exist conducive to
patriotism on the part Of the
young married men Of the coun-
try.
1t Is not.
AS it stands today a few patrI.
otto employers and private riti.
zenS are bearing the burden nat
should be placed upon the shoul
ders Of all Of the people through
means of general taxation.
When the welfare Of the nl-
tion requires the Placing Of an
army in the field the expense Of
such an army. of every nature.
should be borne from the public
funds, and no individual citizen
should be asked or expected TO
pay more than his just portion.
1t is within the power OF con-
gress to right this wrong if it so
desires. and for the sake of our
young men in the ranks, Of their
families at hone. and for the
sake Of common decency, 1t is to
be hoped that for once congress
will not shirk its plain duty.

VEN A FELLOW KNOWS IT ALL.

There are but few country
towns in existence but what have
some one o.: more persons who
"know it ALL That is: they
fondly imagine they know it all
and most people give them cred
it for being better posted on ev-
erythlng and everybody than
their neighbors are.
But are they:
The fellow who is a "know 1t
al" is also most generally a free
talker. He trades information
for information, gossip for gos,
sip, and scandal fer scandal.
Thus it is that he is often able
to impart certain unimportant
information to his associates IN
''strictly confidential manner
giving the impression that he
has been in close touch with the
powers that be.
But when you sics it down he
has simply passed along: with
embellishments Of his own, lnfOr
nation that is more or less Of a
publlc nature, ann which would
have reached the public in the
usual routine in the course Of q
few days.
AS matter Of fact, the know
it all man seldom knows in ad-
vance Of the really important af
fairs of life Or Of the commercial
world, for no one cares to i'm.
part such information to the ane
who knows it all and tells all he
knows.
Do not tie TO the man who
knows it all, for in all probabil-
ity he knows less than you.

"YOU KNOW ME AL"

When Ring Lardner began pulling off his Letters of a Busher'' the sport scribes and fans of the Windy around trying to fix the odium of Rings creation upon some twirler of the Comiskey clan. Many of them picked ''Reb'' Russell as the Busher's s prototype, but "Reb'' csoesn't appreci- ate the dubious honor, and to start a rookus it is only necessary to whisper in his proximity, ''You know me Al"
 EwelI A. Russell is the name con ferred upon the White Sox twirler by his folks, and he will be twenty-seven years old tomorrow, having been born in Albany, Miss, March 12, 1889. He started his professional career at Bonham, in northern Texas, in 1912, and finished the season with Fort Worth, in the Texas League. Rus sells career as a ''busher'' was brief, for at. the close of his first season in the minors he was given the glad some call by the Chicago White Sox and got into the Ine1ight by win ming twenty-two games to sixteen lost Since then he has not been so good, as he won only eleven contests to a, doz- en lost last season. Rowland be- Iieves that 'tReb'' was overworked his first year with the Sox and that this caused his slump. The White Sox pilot has a lot of confidence in the southpaw, and is depending on him to do some great work in the box this year

WILL JAMES
 COME BACK?

In considering the various slants and angles of the well known pas time which will have it's official in augural a month hence, Boston fan atics are deeply interested in the query, twill Bill James come back ?'' This is a matter of great moment in the city of the scared cod, for, what with the strengthening process that has been going on in several Amer ican League clubs, many of the Bos- ton fans are looking to the Braves to put Massachusetts on the 1916 worlds series map.
 The object of this cultured consid- eration, MT. William l.. James, is far from being in the sere and yellow leaf he will be twenty-four years old ly on March 12, 1892, at Iowa Hill, Placer County, Cal, and he still re- mains true to the Golden State, spend ing the winters at his home in Oro- vile. James declares that his soup bone, which went back on him last year, is now coming along nicely, and if this should prove to be the case it will mean much added strength to the Braves.
 James began pitching, on a high school team, where he attracted the attention of a Coast League veteran, who recommended the youngster to Seattle. In spite of the opposition of his family, Bill abandoned his plans for a college career and joined the Seattle club in 1911. 1 The following year he won twenty-nine games to seven lost for Seattle, grabbing sixteen consecutive games In August he was sold to Boston, and reported the following season. He did nothing remarkable in his first year in the big show, but in 1914 he almost re- peated his Northwestern League stunt by winning twenty-six games to seV- en lost, and his great work was large ly instrumental in winning the pen nant for the Braves. Last year he was out of the game much of the time, and his loss was keenly felt. If he comes back this season the Stall ings clan will have mighty good chance to achieve another triumph, for when Big Bill is right he is mighty near to being invincib1e.

JACK DILLON
 BEATS FLYNN
 IN FAST BOUT

New ork, March 11-Jack Dillon fell upon Jim Flynn at the Manhattan Sporting club. last night and smote him with fury for half an hour: The Bearcat used every blow known to the Queensbury game.
 As each succeeding round was ush- cred in by the clang of the gong, the thousands of onIookers who filled the great clubhouse to it's capacity, fully expected to see the Pueblo man meas ure his length on. the canvas and re- main there for the count of 10.
 But the wonderful stamina and courage of the man not only kept him on his feet to the bitter end,. but the gory finish found him battling des- perate1y though inefectively.
 How Flynn managed to stay on his feet was a mystery to those who saw the. vo1leys of hooks, uppercuts and swings that Dillon peppered his man With.-But- Flynn was going forward all the time in the teeth of the heavy bombardment, and made desperate though futile feorts to give back a fair share of the punishment
 Several times Dillon stood toe to toe with Flynn, and the pair batt1ed like wildcats till Flynn was finally compelled to retreat Under the heavy fire.

JESS WILLARD STARRING WITH
 BIG AL REICH

New York, March IA new schedule of training for Champion Jess Willard went into effect at the Pioneer Sporting club this afternoon. Al Reich, next to Frank Moran prob ably the most seriously considered white heavyweight with a chance for the title, joined the staff of boxers who are helping to boa pig Jess into shape.
 Willard has maintained from the start that he would be prepared to put in two strenuous weeks of boxing before going into the ring to defend the title for the first time. For two weeks from today is the date of the big match.
 Reich would have gone on yester- day. He offered his servces free. But owing to the illness of Tom Jones there has been more or less uncertain ty among the Willard handlers of changing schedule which has been sc beneficial to the cowboy. How ever Willard intends to retain the three theavies who have been boxing with all week-George ROdeI, Mona han and Temple. Necessarily his cus- tomary six rounds an afternoon must be heightened to eight at least when Reich comes into play. Possibly the champion may try himself out over the full route of ten periods Reich has served notice that he will be pre- pared to box as long as Willard gives the word.
 The rai1birds who have been watch ing Willard since he first went into training here are satisfied that he has done himself a whole lot of good. They are satisfied too that he win be in good physical condition the night of March 25. But few are satis- fled that he has boxed enough with really high class men. Most of Will 1ard's boxing has been with Monahan and Temple, and Monahan and Hem pie have been in the Willard camp so long that Jess knows their every move. He tells almost by instinct what they are planning to do.
