REVIVAL OF THE sFoRCE BILL

Senator Penrose cannot hope to
accomplish anything beyond the public
agitation of the question by reviving
the "force bill" The present con-
gress will not look with sympathy
upon any attempt to put the federal
elections under federal control, espe-
cially when that attempt is avowedly
made by a Republican with frankly
confessed partisan motives. Senator
Penrose's solicitude for the disfran-
chised Negroes of the South, it is I'M
necessary to say, has none of that zeal
for political equality which ought to
form the chief motive force of a move
ment of this character. 1t is not to be
denied that the present conditions
surrounding the electoral and con-
gressional representation of the South
are far from equitable. but the mo-
ment is hardly propitious for effective
agitation. Notwithstanding the Demo
cratic origin of the recent demands
IOI the dUOllGlOn VI Gno ClOCIoAoA wi
lege and the substitution of direct
popular voting for president and vice
president, it is idle to look for Demo
cratic support for any movement look
ing to the limitation of the political
power of the South. Had tidal wave
swept the Republicans into control of
the federal government there might
have been some reason in taking up at
this time the problem of enforcing the
second section of the fourteenth
amendment of the constitution. Per
haps Senator PenroSe means his an
nouncement to be a warning answer to
the agitation for the substitution of a
direct popular vote by states for the
present system of votes by electors
but even in that case it promises to
accomplish little but the revival OF
bitter controversy.
There is no doubt whatever that
sooner or later the problem of rectify
ing the existing inequalities in repre-
sentation will have to be faced. The
country has been very tolerant Of g
system which has given the solid
South a wholly disproportionate voice
in national councils. This federation
has hitherto been given in the inter
ests of peace and because, except un
der exceptional conditions, the vote
of the solid South was not an in
variably determining factor in ma
tional elections or in congress. Blu
with the results of the elections o.
1912 and 1916 as object lessons, thu
impossibility of an indefinite exten
sion of this tolerance is becoming
increasingly evident. The question
cannot be separated from partisan
ship, of course, but when it shall b.
seriously taken up it ought to be mad
the subject of deliberate endeavor ant
one of the vital issues of a nationa
campaign. Without an express man
date from the people neither the pres
emit nor the next congress is likely t.
give the matter serious consideration

THE MENACE OF THE Rat.

One hundred sixty-6ve millions of
dollars is a heap of money. Anyhow,
it is more than most of US carry around
with u.s. And yet this tremendous sum
of money is what it is costing the
United States to feed the rats in this
country. This, it is estimated, is the
food cost alone, to say nothing of the
destruction caused by rats in many
other ways.
The Department of Health has fire.
quently called attention to the rat
menace as a means of spreading dis
ease. The United States Government
is fighting rats all the time in coun-
tries that are liable to have bubonic
plague. The U. S. Public Health au-
tRorities have also discovered, and
have long ago promulgated the funda-
mental fact, that the only way to get
rid of rats, is to build against them.
This means rat-proofng construction In
all our buildings that are inhabited or
infested by rats.
1t is a singular fact that the rat
is the only wild animal that lives in
the abodes of man. In many localities
rats over-run dwelling places; others
confne their tenancy to barns, grain
aries, wharves, docks and Office build
ings. All of the old office buildings
in the loop district are infested with
rats. They are a source of constant
annoyance to hotel keepers and restau-
rants. The Department of Health is
serving notices every day to people
of this class to rid their premises of
rats, and at least, to keep them out
of the rooms where their foodstuffs are
stored. 1t seems to be almost an i'm
possible task.
The newer type of buildings are
practically rat-p-oof; many of them
wholly So and are, therefore, not in
tested. But, as stated, the older types
, of buildings swarm with them. In st.
Louis recently large hotel was torn
down as being the cheapest method OF
Kidding it of rats. 1t was, first thought
that it might be made rat-proof. This
was found impossible, so the building
was wrecked and will be replaced by a
modern rat-proof structure.
If Chicago needs anything now, it
needs legislation that will provide for
the proper construction of buildings to
make them rat-proof.
One hundred sixty-fve millions OF
dollars is estimated as the annual food
cost to the people of this country for
| rats. This sum spent in rat-proofing
{ construction each year would soon rid
the country of these dangerous and
expensive pests. The need of the hour
is proper legislation as to building
ordinances. Some of the cities of the
United States have already enacted
= ordinances along these lines. Chicago
i should not longer delay action in this
important matter.

Sale of Red Sex May Cause

Chicago, Nov. 9.--The sale of the
Boston Red SoX may have bearing
on the American league champion
ship next year. If the sale is con.
tirmed, and there is little doubt at the
present time but that the deal will
be ratified. the new corners may be

tinue at the head of the team. With
the veteran manager in charge OF the
combination, the Red SoX will con-
tinue to be big factor in the race.
Without him the champions are not
likely to be nearly so strong, be-
cause they will not have the spirit
and the fighting leader. The pur'

their intention Of going after Carri-
gan with a big offer for his services

this will be just the kind Of induce

STAGE SET FOR
GREAT RING GO
Mike Gibbons and Jack Dillon
Meet in Roped Arena TO-
night

Everything is ready for the clang
of the bell at the st. Paul Auditorium
tonight for Mike Gibbons and
Jack Dillon, worlds contenders for
the mddleweight championship title
and the two great ring warriors have
virtually wound up their training work
and are prepared to step into the fight
which-in the opinion of the world
will be the greatest contest of the
decade.
Although Jack Dillon protested loud
~ against the weight mark demanded
by Mike Gibbons-161 pounds at three
O'Clock on the day Of battle--he ap-
parently could have made the weight
with ease. However, by holding out
at New York. the giant killer forced
the phantom to permit of heavier
poundage-163 at three o'clock. and
as result. the indianapolis man will
have heavy edge on the worlds most
scientific boxer.
Anyone who expects to see a con.
test of the hit and run style is doomed
to disappointment" said Mike Gibbons
as he wound up the heavy training
work at Potts Minneapolis gymnas-
ium. II am going to show the world
that I am a champion from the word
go and among those to be convinced,
is Jack Dillon. He has repeatedly
said that he would give me the licking
of my life if would only stand up and
fight instead Of galloping away from
him. Well, Mr.. Dillon is just about to
receive the jolt of his meteoric career.
liam not going to resort to clever
ness in the hope that | can outpoint
this great Dillon. On the contrary.
am going to sail into him and meet
him at his own game. I will stand up
toe TO toe and slug or | will box with
him. Anything he starts | will finish,
and | really look for knockout. |
would be foolish to predict that | am
to be the one knocked out. And still
I am not so egtistical as to make a.
prediction that | will knock him out.
Let the fans wait and see. He is a
wonderful fighter and both of us claim
the worlds middleweight champion
title. II he can beat me, | will retire
for all times. If | beat him, l will
offer to meet any other challenger and
then turn over the title to my brother
Tommy. whom | will manage.

players. There is a well founded ru.
NOR going the rounds that the reason
for the retirement Of Bill Carrigan
was his desire to get more money.
He would not come out and make his
resignation on those grounds, because
Lannin would never listen to him.
Now he is in a position to accept an
increase because he has not formally
announced his retirement.
Even though Carrigan is back at
the helm the Red Sox will not be so
strong as they have been for the last
two seasons. The fact that they have
already won two pennants is against
them winning next year. The his
tory Of championship teams is that
the men cannot keep the swelling out
of. their heads long enough to play
together with the maximum of eff.
cheney three years in succession. The
strengthening Of the other teams in
the league will make it harder for
the Red SoX to win.
With teams like the White Sox,
Tigers and Browns to fight them for
every game the champions will not
have an easy time of it.
