November.
The chief mourners VIII be the
boxers. their managers and the pro-
moters. They will heave chesty signs

Those who want to point finger
OF reproach at the ones who are re-
sponsible for the death OF New York
boxing will stick out their dlgits
toward the promoters, the boxers and
their managers. The men who have
been the principal actors IN New
York boxing are wholly responsible
for its fate in this state They have
killed the gOsling that laid the golden
egg, and they are regretting il now
regrettinE when it is too late
First OF all the New York boxing
commission must shoulder a large
share of the blame for permitting
conditions to exist which put boxing
in bad with the powers that be. The
commissioners ran their department
loosely
They did not keep undesirables out
OF the game They permitted pro-
moters TO blk the public; they failed
to punish offenders. who became bold

finally reached the point were they
were looked upon as mere tools of

T JUST TINCLE ALL
 OVER WITH NEW VITALITY, 7 SHE SAYS

Mrs. John Herrick, of 14 Cove street, Morris Cove. who is widely known all through Connecticut. is pleased to highly endorse Tanlac, the National Tonic.
 T simply cannot do justice to Tan lac in mere words, she says. Tt is the finest medicine I have ever seen Before I took Tanlac was so weak
 and sick that could hardy walk around the house. I would catch cold on the slightest pretext. I had very poor circulation. I had no energy or
 vitality and just simply dragged around from day to day.
 T had taken many medicines dur ing my life but most of them gave me only temporary relief, and finally became quite discouraged. One day a friend told me about Tanlac and ad- vised me to use it, and now am enjoying perfect health. I have a splendid appetite. good digestion, re-
 newed energy, and I just jingle all
 over with new vitaity."
 Tanlac produces strength because it
 builds; 1t eliminates nervousness be- cause it soothes: it aids sufferers from catarrh, stomach, kidney and liver ailments, because of it's remark able reconstructive tonic qualities
 Tanlac, the medicine so highly en-
 being specially introduced at Smith $

In the county school notes this week
will be found recent letter from the
attorney general. 1t is unfortunate
that LANCER has found it necessary
to reverse himself, despite the lofty
patriotic motives given. The law is
plain and distinct, and to admit the
right of Langer's action, we must adj
nit that circumstances make it right
for man to give different meanings
to certain written laws, as the wish
becomes father to the thought. Not
alone will this change throw the
school organizations back to a great
degree so far as the compulsory
school attendance is concerned, but
the attorney general will unwittingly
make the various county superintend-
ents the goats with the people. And,
if the theory of the wish being father
to the thought prevails with LANCER,
we wonder how far the same condi-
tions influenced him in his famous
side-step of the H. B. a. constitutional
ity proposition? We wonder if that
had anything to do with his excuse
that Frazier used to try to throw out
the board of regents so the league
could fill the jobs.
