Leach Cross the retired light

of the greatest drawing cards the
game ever had in New York. Although
he never came near winning the title
he had a great following in Gotham
and could always be depended on to
pack 'em at the gate. Leach had a
way of cuddling behind a barricade OF
arms and elbows whenever the
punches came too fast and plentiful
and there he would stay till the storm
blew over. This led many to regard
him as being yellow, but 1t only
brought the more to boot him and his
unpopularity in some quarters made
him as great drawing card as his

the good sense to retire before he hit
the slide. He was knocked out in

Leach was ever yellow as he was in

PROHIBITION AN INVASION OF
THE PEOPLES RIGHTS2

Arguing that a vast majority Of the
people esteem alcoholic beverages es.
sentlal to their health and happiness,
the liquor interests are saying that
the government has no right to stor
supplying the demand for them. The
weak point in this charge is that 1t is
based upon false premises. Those who
advance such argument will, of course,
have to admit that the citizens Of the
fourteen states which have constitu.
tional prohibition favor that policy Of
dealing with the drink traffic, and that
rs to the thirteen states dry by statute
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
law would not have been enacted If
public sentiment had been against it.
In all Of the remaining wet states
there is so large an element for pro-
hibltlOn that the question is constantly
before the people In state, county or
local elections.
Be that as 1t may, the people Of the
states whose legislatures meet in 1919
will have an opportunity to give ex-
preston to their desire for ratification
Of the federal amendment through

PUBLIC GOLF COURSES
ARE FAVORED BY TAFT

game as was ever heard OF, this
person - ex-Presldent William
Howard Taft-now mas the
following to say about the
game.
81 consider golf one Of the
greatest things that has come to
man. Americans had been so
long chasing the almighty dol
lar that their digestlons were
bad; their hair was getting
so scarce and bald that the
few hairs left should have been
shaved Off altogether. Physl-
clans became alarmed at the
condition Of the modern busl-
ness man. Since the intrOduc-
tlon Of golf we have given up
business cares, but not busl-
ness energy. The game has fur
nished a reason and a zest for
exercise. 1t is a Godsend to the
man from fifty to eighty years
of age, and we should recognize
its health values"
