MORRIS MAULS MORAN;
HEAVIEST PUNCHER
Oklahoma Heavyweight Hands
Out Some Heavy Bolts, Most
of Which Hit Atmosphere


II Carl Morris and Jess Willard are TO
be brought together in a bout for the
heavyweight championship OF the world, the
fstic public is in an awful fix.
Morris today has the New York news
papers on his side to prove that he whipped
Frank Moran in ten-round bout at the
Harlem Sporting Club, but If Moran had
taken as much of a beating as the atmos-
phere Carl was whipping around he would
have been knocked off somewhere around
the second round.
Morris merely proved he can hold longer
and harder than Moran. The latter proved
he can punch harder.
with platform and ropes groaning out
their chorus of protest, the heavyweights
mauled through their ten-round bout at the
Harlem Sporting Club, keeping wonderfully
true to the lines of the mental picture
drawn by those who have been following
their fortunes. II was far from an elevat-
ing exhibition of the manly art. Norris has
his own peculiar style, and until some one
comes along powerful enough to stand him
off and punch with him he is likely to go
along winning.

about which House and Senate are al
ready in wide disagreement, and may
be still further apart when the confer
ence is called. The Senate had revised
the House bill in material way before
the Secretary of the Treasury made his
latest recommendation, and since then
has added to the total of the assess
ments. The House threatens to chal-
lenge much of what the Senate has done,
and will have its opportunity in the
conference, and, later, when the report
Of the conferees is handed in.
But, in the end, we shall have a bill
providing large sum of money-the
largest ever carried by such measure
and the government will need every
dollar of it. The conference committee
may wrangle over details and theories
of taxation, but it cannot escape con-
sideration of the main, the imperative,
question, which is that war taxes are
the most pressing Of all taxes, and that
when levied they must be paid. The
tax dodger has small chance to dodge
them, and no excuse whatever for try
ing to do so.

Germany and Treaties.

In all the talk of peace which comes
from Berlin, talk which plainly indi-
Gates an anxiety for peace which tran
sends even the militant spirit of Ger
many, one fact is ignored, necessarily,
which, however, must be always remem-
bered by the people of the countries
waging war against her. This is that
Germany has proved herself untrust-
worthy in the matter of treaties. The
violation of Belgium, through the ignor-
ing of the treaty which guaranteed that
country neutrality and inviolability in
case of war between other powers, how
ever it may be excused on the ground
of military necessity, stands as a proof
that Germany is not dependable in re-
spect to the observance of international
obligations.
Peace between Germany and the en-
tente powers will be based eventually
upon treaty or series of treaties. If
Germany is able to dictate the terms
Of peace treaties in any degree there can
be no assurance that they will be kept.
The only safety for the world from
early resumption of warfare by Ger
many to restore her prestige or regain
territories will lie in the reduction of
Germany's military power To this end
Germany must be beaten in the field,
beaten to the point at which the peace
may be dictated against her and not in
any part by her.
It will be world calamity if this
present struggle ends with the adoption
of "scrap of paper" It will be that
if Germany is not whipped in the field.
The entente powers will be recreant if
they fail to press the campaign to the
point at which Germany is compelled
by Sheer weight of men and metal to
agree to conditions Of peace that will
permanently prevent treachery at Ber-
lin and violation of international obliga-
tons. Throughout all the talk of peace,
therefore, the governing fact will remain
that Germany has by her own acts
placed herself beyond the pale of CON
fidence.

The Citizens Duty.

A man who deliberately Stacks in his
response to the summons to national
duty in such crisis as the present
sadly misconceives his citizenship. No
man is wholly free from obligations in
modern society to the organization that
gives him security and service. The world
is no longer peopled by individuals
Ivory American is a member of close
" knit combination for mutual protec-
ton and development. It is called gov
eminent, state, nation The man who
says, "This is not my war; I have no
interest or part in it," is acting as an
individual. ignoring all the benefits he
has received from government, all the
protection it has afforded him, all the
facilities it has given him tor improve
ment and prosperity. He takes the
blessings of government and refuses to
pay any share of the cost.
This is not the other fellows war. It
is the war Of the man who is now stand
ing before the exemption boards, under
summons to be examined as a possible
soldier. 1t is the war of the man with
the family dependent on him as well as
the man with no family. 1t is the war
Of the young man as well as the old
1t is ererybody's war because it is
Americas var, and we are al Americans
and what affects one affects all. And
this fact must never be ignored-if this
war IS not won by America the people
Of this. country will suffer frightfully
at some time in the perhaps not distant
future through the blows Of a ruthless.
savage foe wrought to g high pitch Of
bitter hatred against us by our course in
this conflict
Every man who enters the examina-
ton rooms should pray to be worthy of
the citizenship that has been granted
him by Providence in country that
gives so much and asks SO little as the
United States.

democratic national platforms of 1876
and l8S4-two notable papers, marked
! by smooth style and an aggressive ex-
preston Of party faith. Both have often
been quoted in political controversies.
In the platform of 1876 appeared the
plank on the tariff which not only gave
great interest to that years campaign,
but has ever since marked the democ
| racy's tariff line in its campaign deliver
ances. This is it:
Owe denounce the present tariff levied
upon nearly four thousand articles as q
masterpiece of injustice, inequality and
false pretense; it has impoverished many
industries to subsidize 4 few; it pro-
hibits imports that might purchase the
products of American labor; it has de-
graded American commerce from the
first to an inferior rank upon the high
seas; it has cut down the values of
American manufactures at home and
abroad; it has depleted the returns of
American agriculture, an industry fol
| lowed by half our people; it costs the
people five times more than it produces
to the treasury, obstructs the process
of production and wastes the fruits of
labor; it promotes fraud, fosters Snug
Cling, enriches dishonest officials and
bankrupts honest merchants. We de-
mand that all custom house taxation
shall be only for revenue"
With the exception of three years
the period between 1894 and 1S97-a
protective tariff was in operation in this
country from the early days of the civil
war until late in 19l3-ffty years,
say. Did American interests, agricul
tural, manufacturing or other, languish
in that time9 On the contrary, did not
all Of them grow and strengthen Were
they not four years ago in prosperous
state, and seemingly assured of con-
tinuation of prosperity Protection, in
try, and particularly during the life of
the Dingley lava measure made nee
essary by the low-tariff experiment of
1894. Under that law-frankly protec-
tive in every important feature-the
country emerged from a business de-
preston almost unparalleled in its his
tory, and made record of industry and
reward.
The war has thrown everything out of
plumb. 1t is scrapping many theories
making many changes, economic and
other. How will it affect not only our
tariff but European tariffs? Much of
every sort, has gone, or is going, into
the melting pot; and what new shape
anything will take in that boiling cal
dron is beyond human guess.

Talking It Over.

When the kaiser met the crown
prince, Won Hindenburg, Won Ludendorf,
Rupprecht of Bavaria, Albrecht of
Wurttemburg, Admiral Won Cappelle
and other high military and naval Off
GERS at Brussels yesterday the war situa-
ton was probably carefully reviewed.
Several factors must be taken into ac-
count by these men who are now con-
trolling the destinies of millions of
human beings, and by their persistence
in warfare are slaughtering thousands
daily and bringing terrible suffering to
millions. First of all is the fact that
Germany's enemies are increasing in
number and power, and that the latest
conner in the field is the strongest po-
tentially Of all Then will come the
fact that Russia has for the present
ceased to be of material moment as a
military factor through the gigantic
change in her political organization.
Next viii come the fact that the sub
marine warfare has not yet brought Eng
land to her knees. though conducted now
for siy months without restrictions. and
that although the distinctions are heavy
they are diminishing in number and new
constructions are being rushed to re-
place the losses in the mercantile ma
rine Then will come the fact that the
economic situation in Germany is des-
perately bad, the people have not enough
to eat, that the crops are poor and that
the American embargo on foodstuffs and
war materials to neutral countries will
shut off from Germany a large source
of supply which has heretofore just
turned the balance to the point of en-
durance.
This is not pleasant state of things
for German contemplation. The kaiser
and the war lords may fool the German
people with proclamations and high
sounding speeches breathing confidence
in ultimate victory. but when--they. get
together they probably tell each other
the truth. 1t can no longer be lcse
majeste for a field commander to tell the
kaiser the exact facts. The main question
now before the meeting at Brussels un-
doubtedly is whether Germany can hold
out long enough in the field and at home
to enable the submarines to destroy
enough shipping to bring the allies to
the point of asking peace FERNS If the
submarine warfare cannot be speeded
to point of ship destruction which is
greater than the rate of American prep
aration for offensive work in France
Germany faces merely vista of in
creasing disaster with certainty of III
timate defeat. Perhaps Won Capelle can
give assurances that the submarines can
destroy more ships than they have for
the last six months. Perhaps ron Hin
denburg can convince the kaiser that
his lines can hold against all concentra-
tons, with all the forces America can
send 10 France. IF these two can per-
suade their imperial master on these
points doubtless the war viii continue, IF
they fail we may soon be treated to the
spectacle of some more peace kites float
ing over Berlin.

it was in the anxious weeks of truce on
