AGAIN We SAY: "TURN THE FOOL
RASCALS OUT

The following from a recent
issue of the Aberdeen Daily
American corroborates what The
Press has heretofore mentioned in
it's columns regarding the PORK
BARREL GRAFT business at
Washington.
1t would seem that the voter is

guilty manor the Statesmen of
the Plumber and Graft order could
not run American politics as they
do.
There is just one remedy for an
evil that will not submit to Guilt
walton and prunine-and that is
tc DESTROY it.
The Press remedy for this
PORK BARREL GRAFT is to
TURN THE RASCALS ALL
OUT.
"What are the American people
coming to-" would graphically
sum up the discussions of the So
cial Science meeting last evening
Graft, waste and political trading
in the peoples inheritances we're
laid bare by the different speakers
in seathing terms, and while it was
clearly proven that there's some
thing rotten in Denmark it is also
asserted that there are remedies
for existing evils. The question
of "What are you going to do
about it," however, remains IN
answered.
Former Governor Herried open
ed the discussion of the evening
with an exhaustive paper ON the
Federal Pork Barrel" taking up
the subject in much detail, as ex-
emplifed in the rivers and harbors,
federal building, flood control,
fish hatcheries and army militia
bills of recent congresses.
He was followed by Attorney
Van Buren, Perry, who brought
the "Pork Parrel' down to South
Dakota affairs; by Mr.. Butler on
naval appropriations: Messrs New
comb, Patrick and others. who
sought to find curative applications.
DIR. Muir ly suggested that the
papers read at the meetings ought
to be printed in phamplet form
and furnished to each member of
the club so that those not present
might also get the benefit of them
which was f%avorably acted on.

Bv PAUL PURMAN.

Pooling the other fellow has been al
most as big an issue in determining
the issue of boxing bouts as the rela'
tive physical merits of the fighters
themselves.
Quick thinking, combined with abil.
ity and maybe a little unsupported
trick thrown in, have turned the tide
OF many ring battle.
Some championships have even
changed hands through little trick
worked by an agile.minded fighter at
citical moment.
A ruse which drew Bob Fitzsimmons
into Jim Jeffries' dressing room be-
fore their Coney Island fight perhaps
had as much to do with FitZsimmons'
defeat as the, beating he subsequently
took in the ring.
Fitz was a middleweight, and al
though he had never seen jeff, friends
told him Of the Californian's immense
physique, which brought from him the
famous exclamation, "The bigger they
are the harder they fall"
But when Fitz was enticed in to
Jef's dressing room short time be-
fore their bout on the pretext OF ar
ranging details of rules there is nc
doubt that he was shocked at Jeff's
great bulk lying, dressed for the ring
on a cot. g.. .. ..l ..t.
Fitz was a gamester and if he fell
any fear he kept it to himself, but
many OF his friends believe that Fit
knew he was beaten before he climb
ed into the ring. En-. ... ..
Jack Johnson was crafty strate
gist when cornered. His knockout o.

Of their bout at Colma in 1909, was the

Early in the twelfth round Kechel
caught Johnson on the point OF thu
jaw, sending him down for the coun
Of nine.
Johnson arose groggy and stagger

of the heavyweight crown within nj!
grasp, rushed in to end it. T..
Johnson met him with terrific LEI

One of Bat Nelson's great trick

HAUGHI0N'S SUGGESTION
ST|RS UP CONTROVERSY
BY n. c. HAMILTON.
UNITED Press COrrespOndenD

New York, Feb. 5.-Percy Haughton
started it when he declared the often
sive side Of baseball needed some
changes, and then outlined a few. Now
they're all doing it. They've advo-
Gated everything that could be thought
Of, almost, including abolition of curve
balls. .... -..
One of the most recent suggestions
along these lines is that a pitcher not
be allowed to pitch his first two balls
to the batter in the curve fashion.
Each Of the first two heaves should be
straight and above board it con-
tended. In this case the batter would
get a toehold, lean far back and take a
whack at the old cripple. He would
be looking for it. Consequently the
infielders would be ducking and the
pitcher would be fiat on the ground by
the time the ball reached the plate.
! Or course there aer other things in
the suggestions, among which is one
that the pitcher not be compelled to
place h isfirst two offerings over the
plate. He could make them a little
wild if he wanted to and then hook
oyer three for strikes: Naturally the
batter would want those first ones and
probably would. take crack at them
even if they didn't come close.
Another suggestion is that the foul
strike rule be amnded. One person
even would have the foul lines move
farther to the left or right-as the case
might be--to take in more territory
This person rightfully exclaims that
when a batter gets hold of one and
cracks it down the right or left field
foul line mile minute he should be
entitled to all the glory that goes with
such a performance. He should either
have the benefit of knocking the whey
/ out of the ball, he believes, or should
not be charged with strike.
The abolition of the spit-ball has
received serious attention and prom
ises to be the one point that will be
deeply considered. Gov. John X. Tener
president of the National league, is
one who believes that foreign sub
stances, as represented by the spitball
are not needed in baseball.

PREDICT J0|E RAY WILL SKATER
DISTANCE RECORDS IN SPRING

which had stood for more than 80
years.
Rays style is about the same as
that of Tommy Connect, the great Irish
distance runner OF two decades ago.
In his races, Ray sets a killing pace
and depends upon the severity OF the
going to make his opponents quit.
In this way he disposed of Johnny
Overton, the Yale crack, known as per-
haps the best college distance runner
in the country
Ray probably will go after the mile
and tWO-mile records in the spring.

Taken From Car and Killed.

EAST ST. LOUIS. H., July 1.-Two
negroes were taken from street car
here Monday afternoon, shot and kill
ed and white man standing in front
of his store, was killed by a stray bull
let.
The turbulence of the mobs increased
during the afternoon. Rioters took
the rifles away from sixteen National
Guardsmen. White women and white
girls participated in the violence.
At 2 o'clock a negro was shot in
the head. The crowd cheered and
clapped hands as he was placed in an
automobile. National Guardsmen stood
by, apparently doing nothing.
The work of dragging negroes of
the street cars began early when
crowd surrounded an Edwardsyille car
which goes through the heart of East
st. Louis and pulled the trolley from
the wire. Immediately white men
boarded the car and took off the ne
gro passengers. One negro was kicked
and beaten by the crowd in the street
and then was shot He died later in
an ambulance.
While this riot was going on Belle
vile car appeared White men and
hite women boarded it. White women
ard white girls seized negro women
and when they were landed in the
street the mob struck and kicked them.
The negro women fled screaming. The
men who had been dragged off the
cars were surrounded and attacked by
groups of whites. One negro was
crushed in the head with a heavy
stick. He died in an ambulance.
More cars were attacked. Finally
( National Guardsmen arrived and be
gan clearing the streets.
| Rifles were taken from sixteen of
the guardsmen, by members Of the
mob who would approach soldier,
and saying:

take the weapon away from him.

in casualties far less than in some
recent unimportant engagements have
attended the drive of the Canadians
along the valley of the Souchez toward
Lens, during the last week The gain
of ground is greater than in any ac-
lions since the capture of Vimy Ridge,
and the land restored to France in
cludes some of her most productive
coal mines. Coulotte, Leayitte and al
most all of Avion are firmly held, and
that part of the plain east OF Vimy.
where a week ago, no one could show
himself above the top of a trench with
out drawing the fire Of snipers and
machine guns may now be traversed
in the open.
Lying out in the water soaked
ground along the Souchez river this
afternoon still under fire are the troops
who attacked the enemy at 2:30 O.
clock Thursday morning in the out
skirts of Avion The Germans put up
resistance so strong that some of the
advanced parties were forced to retire.
At Z o'clock in the morning they at
tackled again, and after hard hand to
hand fighting the result of which was
seen in the number of German dead
remaining on the field, they pressed
forward toward the western part of
the village The same men took part
in a third attack within "a hours. This
was launched at o'clock last night,
and after they had once again reached
the goal set for them they surrendered
] to sleep, the sleep of utter exhaustion
in downpour Of torrential rain.
The situation is regarded as most
satisfactory. The enemy by damming
the Souche river by blowing up the
highway and the railroad bridges
crossing the canal, and by obstructihg
the connecting channels through the
marshes in the region southwest OF
Lens has placed a belt of inundated
land between himself and the Canad-
ian corps along a front of more than a
mile. The foundations are a cover to A
weakness the enemy would not have
betrayed even a few months ago, be-
cause they reveal his intention to
wage a purely defensive warfare along
this part of the line.
There are daily increasing indica
tions that German man-power is no
longer what it was. The number OF
enemy troops in the field appears little
less than before the opening Of spring
operations, but the spirit of the men
is no longer that of an assured victory.
A prisoner taken yesterday spoke of
Il the process of disillusionment the Ger
| man people are now going through. +
the war does not end soon, he said,
/ there will be a revolution in Germany.
This changed spirit is not due to un
derfeeding. Most of the German pris-
oners are well nourished. A big guards
man, at least six feet. four in height,
when cornered fought like a wild cat
till he was badly wounded and was
so heavy that four bearers could make
no Roadway carrying him over the wet
and slippery chalk to dressing sta
ton. The change in their ideas as to
how the war will end is all the more
significant, because it was not brought
about by hunger or privation.
