WILLIAMS WILL
 NOT BE PROSECUTED
GOVERNOR SAYS STATE WILL NOT ACT AGAINST LEyEE
 BOARD MEMBER.

Hot Springs, Aug. 3.-"So far as the executive department of the state is concerned, there will be no prosecution of Eugene Williams, of the St. Francis Levee Board, in con- nection with his administration of funds,' said Governor Charles H, Brough today.
 "The only interest the executive department has in connection with MT. Williams administration. said the governor, is to see that full restitution is made by him of money due, and to protect in every way possible the interests of the tax payers. I did not hesitate during my campaign to fearlessly expose conditions in connection with the St. Francis Levee District, and l under stand that MT. Williams has paid back something like S4O,000. If it should develop here has been mal- feasance in office, the attorney of the Levying Board, or the attorney general, would no doubt take action, but nothing in the way of proceed ings against MT.

 We return, as promised, to Tad's" interesting statement.
 "Out of five fighting champions, three are Jews, only one is Irish and he was knocked out by Benny Leonard"
 Tad is puzzled and says he is inclined to think that something is happening to the Irish race, of which he is an ornament. We can relieve his mind. John l.. Sullivan was and is Irish-no mistake about it-and he was and is the greatest natural fighter.
 Terry McGovern was Irish. Jack Dempsey was Irish. Jim Corbett is Irish. Ireland is all right.
 Here's the historic explanation:

 No Jew could suvfve the brutality of the middle ages unless he learn ed how to get up and fight on after being knocked down 20 times. And that kind of experience makes a prize ring champion.
 But when Tad tells us that the greatest of all fighters, living and dead, the greatest was Cans, the col ored boy. known generally as the "Old Master" we are historically puzzled and must think for while.
 More than 9,000,000 Americans will be examined for the army this year-we shall learn something from that. Let US hope that Germany al- so will learn something.

 A young American can be made into a good soldier In three months, into good officer in one year. But it takes five years to teach a man to ride horse properly with spurs.
 The habit of a million years is strong. Today's officer in khaki according to Darwin. was once a monkey, clinging to a branch with his legs. On horseback. when he gets excited, he will cling as of old and when he clings he spurs the horse. And when he spurs the horse the animal bolts.

 I'll divide the pot"
 Jewish champions-we return. Officers spurs-silly.
 Bad news for Germany-9,00 ,000,00 Americans.
 In a game of poker, when man says. ''Ill divide the pot with you" you know that he doesn't hold four aces-more likely to hold dueces. If you are wise you refuse to di- vide the pot and you get the stakes.
 Germany and Austria every other day say to the allies:
 'T'll divide the pot I don't want your territory or your money in- demnity. Let's call it even.'
 That's a very good sign-for the allies.
 All the peace talk comes iron. Germany-a very good sign.
 German statesmen from the em- peror down are suddenly filled with a horror of war. They are little l4te with this horror, but better late than never.
