The Steering Committee Of the Sem

Senator Mapp won his way to the
front by hard work, He Is one OF
the best equipped men In the Senate,
taking front rank almost from the
day that he took his seat in that body.
The committee announced by Chair
man Rtson yesterday consisted Of Sen
ators Mapp Early, Flfoit West ana
Robertson. The latter IS a new mem
Der of the Senate. The committee con-
sists of three dry and two wet mem
bers--based on previous legislative rec
ords and attitude In the last election.
Senator Mapp will not be here for sew
eraf days, possibly not before the end
of the month. so that the committee
will have to act at once.

Governor Tener, president of the
National league, is one of those who
believe in the elimination of the spit
ball and its variations. A pitcher,
Governor Tener believes should have
no need for outside agencies, and the
cleanliness of the game has some
thing to do with his opinion. He be-
lieves. along with a great many
others, that the spitball is just wee
bit indecent and repulsive.
The change in the player limit has
found many champions, and ii Is one
of the things that magnates and
critics alike expect will be doctored
Clubs have suffered because they

What Do You Mean BY Fight?
JeU'S N0zv Il Buyer OF Bulls

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 9.-Jim JEFF
fries. the greatest fighting white man
that ever drew breath has gone back
to the soil. Jim is now "A farmer. He
goes around his Burbank ranch in a
dirty, ragged pair of overalls, with a
ten days growth of whiskers deco
rating his face. And the hayseeds
stick out all over him.
If you talk to Jim about prize
fights he looks at you as bewildered
as If you were addressing him in
| foreign tongue. He doesn't under
stand. But talk to him about Hol-
stein milk stock and he will lambast
you with conversational wallops
which will stageer you and have you
holding on wishing for the end of the
round.
Jim is specializing in Holsteins. He
bought bull the other day which
cost him $500 In the last year he
has spcnt $4,000 in improvements on
his property, not counting $4,000
house he is now building and $780, 600
more which he expects to spend on
his herd of cows.
At present there are some hundred
and sixty head of cattle on the JEFF
/ fries ranch; also about the same
number of hogs, and more chickens
and turkeys than a man can count.
Not all of the former champions cows
are thoroughbreds, however But he
Is gradually wedding out the common
stock and replacing it with pedigreed
animals.
Today Jim Jeffries is the happiest
man in the world He is hard, brown
and fit as a fiddle. Every morning
he is up at and busy until sundown
with tho cares Of an agriculturst. If
he gets a visitor who is fan on
farming he will walk the poor devil
five thousand miles between sunup
fertile real estate. And he will never
stop walking or talking until the visi-
tor gives out or gives up.
Jim is milking 120 cows. II do
all milkin' by electricity" says the ex-
fighter. There are no dago teat-
wielders on this farm"
Jeffrles is extremely scientific with
his dairy. and it is spotlessly clean.
He raises some alfalfa and also a
great deal of corn. Some of his corn
stands II feet high and the stalks are
less than an inch apart in the rows.
jeff has a speaking acquaintance
with every COW on his ranch. They
come up and rub their noses on the
big fellows arm and he scratches
their heads and pats their sleek
flanks with great pride.
Wv non | flrSt began, says Jim,
"ranchin' with me was Just a fad
now, however. it's business. And it
pays. I'm making a profit out of
farming right now"
Jetfries knows to n cent how much
money is spent and how much comes
in on his ranch lie has moved his
family to Burbank, and while he still
keeps the Los Angeles house, it is no
longer home to him. The ranchhouse
he is building will contain a fireplace
7N6 feet I'm the inside ON the outside
to barbecue a whole beef.
He always did like to eat and he
intends that the friends who come to
visit his dairy shall not go away hun
cry.
And does Jim Jeffries, former king
of the ring, ever go to boxing con-
test" He does not. He is farming,

tom han the night of November 16.
The winner of this bout will un-
doubttdly be a future opponent for
the heavyweight champion. Critics
everywhere are united in the opinion
that LeHnsky and Morris are the two
leading contenders for the crown at
present writing.
LcNinsky will enter the bout with n
twofold object. The first is to test
his skill against "A man of Wiliard's
size. The next is 10 dispose Of dan

championship. small wonder that the
hattler is working night and day with
a corps of sparring partners in his
New York gymnasium and cancelled
two other bouts which were scheduled
for him before the Morris tangle.
II tan beat Jess Willard in Il finish

That sums up Carl Morris attitude
In the matter. He seems to take 1t for
granted he Will lick Levinsky. HIS
vision Is centered on the future-the
time when he faces Champ Jess in i
2i-foot ring
Levinsky has many supporters ~ no

THE Hebrew heavy is too clever"
say these adhcrents Of Lovnsky "The
big Roy couldn't hit him with a gar
den hose"
"Ah." come back Morris followers.
But remember that's what they sld
about Al Norton. Norton is as clever
as Lovinsky and could hit harder.
They thought he would make a mon
key cut Of Carl. You all remember
what happened? Morris cornered the
clever Norton and gave him the worst
heating Of his career. Al did well TO
last the 10 rounds out"

present. The pot will begin to boil

SOCIALIST READING.-Few peo-
pie realize that a vote for either
Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic
candidate, or Chas. E. Hughes, the
Republican, is a vote against Allan
L. Benson, the Socialist candidate,
and before any enthusiastic prOleta-
Tian supporter of either Wilson or
Hughes proceeds to vote for either
one of his candidates, and cOnse-
qUently votes against Benson, he or
she owe it to themselves as Ameri-
can citizens to investigate the plat
form of the Socialist party, whose
standard bearers are Allan L. Ben
son and George R. Kirkpatrick, can
didates for president and vice presi-
dent, respectively.
No man, no woman, no boy and no
girl can afford to remain ignorant of
what Socialism really is, and unless
you understand it you can neither be
for or against it. Please do not base
your knowledge of socialism upon
what you have heard on a street cor
ner, for inasmUch as a man may not
always have the gift of making him
self understood, still most books upon
socialism are written so that the
average man or woman, boy or girl
can understand it.
The way to learn is to read and
study With the permission of the
editor I will name a few good books:
Socialism in Theory and in Prac-
tice," by Morris HilQuit; Elements
of Socialism," by SpargO and Amer;
Social Forces in American History"
by A. NJ. Simons; ''The Iron Heel,
by Jack London. All of them are in
the Chicago public library. The
writer himself was very much pre-
JUDGED against it until he learned it.

WILSON, HUGHES OR BENSON.
i have the following letter from
Hugo Sonnenschein of DanvilIe, Ill:
81 am opposed to Wilson because
he sold out to Wall street to beat
Germany. I am for Allan Benson
Kirkpatrick, not Wilson. The cost of
living is higher. Besides, he double
crossed the public, signing bill for
a greater army and navy; signed a
notorious bill forcing men from IS
years to go to war. Any president
that passes army and navy apprOpr-
ations is not for labor. Therefore,
Wilson nor Hughes never get my
vote"
have no quarrel with Mr.. Son.
nenschein because he won't vote for
Wilson or Hughes and will vote for
Benson. He has the same right to
support Benson that have to sup
port Wilson, and that my neighbOr
has to support Hughes. Mr.. SOnnen-
schein evidently is in sympathy with
the working Class-sO we are to-
gether on that. But do not see the
force of his argument. President
Wilson did not sell out to Wall street
to beat Germany. He not only didn't
sell out to Wall street for that or any
other purpose, but refused to obey
Wall street orders, and Wall street
and it's millions are fighting Wilson
and supporting Hughes.
l know that a few professional
German-AmericanS have made MANY
people of German ancestry believe
the president has been unfriendly to
Germany, but they're mistaken. They
wanted Wilson to violate this coun-
try's neutrality by placing an en-
barge on munitions of war, although
they knew Germany had the same
right the Allies had to buy in this
country. The trouble was England's
control of the seas and Germany's
