STAFF Correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-The willing
ness with which this country has re-
sponded to the French need for re-
lief funds probably will have strong
effect in putting over the proposed
bout in New York between Jesse
Willard and Georges Carpenter. Tex
Richard, promoter Of the bout, said
today he had received strong assur-
ances that Carpenter will be given
a months furlough from the army
provided his share of the purse and
a sum stated by Richard and Nc
Cracker is turned into the French
war relief fund.
Miss Anne Morgan, treasurer of the
fund, and Miss Elizabeth Marbury
said they have agreed to take charge
of money collected for the fund
through the bout, and Miss Morgan
has guaranteed bond of s150,o00 for
the safe return to France of the
soldier boxer. Carpenter, in con-
tract, which should be in his hands
within few days, has guaranteed
the sum of 100000 francs ($20,000)
and in addition will receive $4,000,
for training and travelling expenses.

York about-December 81, provided he
is given permission to make the trip.
Richard tackled an exceedingly
troublesome matter when he began to
plan for Carpenters first appearance
in the United States. He found it
would be practically impossible for
him unaided to prevail upon the
French government for the soldier
boxers release 1t was necessary
for him to tie up negotiations through
the American fund for the French
wounded and he found persons con-
nected with this in a receptive mood.
Miss Morgan and Miss Marbury adj
mitted they were apprised of the pro-
ceedings several weeks ago and
agreed to take charge of Cagpan-
tiers share. This will be turned over
to relief work in France where, they
said, it is badly needed.
\ Richard has received tentative
agreements from both Willard and
Carpenter to enter the ring. Willard
has given his word to meet any
opponent which may be selected for
him by Richard. provided the oppo-
nent is not black. He is expected to
demand at least $4,000 for his share,
but Richard never has been known
as a piker, it is more than probable
his terms will be met without a
culver.

as possible. so that treatment may
begin before the disease has a chance
to develop.
This is merely an experiment that
the doctor is making for his own
satisfaction in order to demonstrate
the feasibility Of some such plan.
Certainly it is step toward the ideal
system. 1t gives doctors strong
incentive to see their patients re-
cover and get out from under their
care as speedily as possible. This is
the aim Of reputable physicians. of
courseI But there are doctors who
are not so conscientious.
Some day there will be community
medical centers to which families will
belong, where for a fixed sum, paid
every year, they may be sure Of the
best possible medical attention. These
centers will be equipped with the
most elaborate diagnostic apparatus,
in the charge Of specialists working
in conjunction, perhaps, with a gen
eral practitioner who will be the
regular family physician. Some such
plan will bring the best results of
modern medical science to every
home.

AboIishino a LEGISLATURE.

Canova, S. D., Herald: With r. E.
DowdeH elected to the state senate
we can look for some real action
started towards abolishing the state
legislature and substituting in its
stead a commission of ten or twelve
men to make the laws. The Herald
has always favored such change
and we sincerely hope that our illus
trious senator will succeed in getting
something started along that lime.
Everyone will admit that our legis-
lature in Its present form is clumsy
and inefficient. We send men to the
legislature who have had no expert
ence and expect them to make SEN
sible laws in two months time, and
then two years later we send up
new bunch to do the same thing over
again. The result is that we have
such bungled up laws that even
Philadelphia lawyer can't figure them
out. In changing to commission
form we could elect men who are
well equalified and pay them a sal
airy large enough to enable them to
put in all their time at the job, and
then we could expect some real
service commission could take its
time to study the needs Of the peo-
pie and take it's time to make the
laws and not have to hurry through
in the short time allotted to the pres
emit legislative session. The terms of
these men should be made long
enough so that we wouldn't have to
break in new bunch every year or
