Financially Rewarded


Financially Rewarded
Tender had a great season. Flnan-
cially, It compares favorably with that
of any other ring performer. From the
other side it also was a triumph. He
went through the year without losing
a decision, which in itself Is remark
able record.
Fourteen decisions. five knockouts and
one draw is a record which places him
at the top of the real 133-pound divi-
sion. Leonard cannot be rated in this
class for he fought few little fellows
during the year, doing most of his
mlnglng with the welterweights.
II Tender earned nearly $4,000 in
war times, what should be his earning
powers during 1919 with boxing more
popular than ever in the history of the
game?
At least, he intends to start the year
right by receiving .s25OO for boxing
Rocky Kansas in Buffalo on January l.
Why Not $4,000?
Barring injuries and taking it for
granted that he will have the advantage
of good management, Tenders earning
powers for 1919 should be close to
$4,000. This figure is not too high, II
Tender takes part In at least twenty
battles during the season. That would
be an average of more than $4,000 a
fight.
Then again there is nothing to limit
his work to twenty fights. 1t win be
recalled that in 1917, the year Leonard
annexed the title, Benny took part In
thIrty-tWo, lust O. few less than Harry
Greb
With a few special shows in addition
to the regular battles, Tender should
show an excellent bank account at the
conclusion Of hostilities In 1919.

WEAR WEDDING CARE
 OF FIFTY YEARS AGO
Mrs. Frederick Wesscll and Daughters a Don Old Bridal Costumes at
 Golden Wedding. :5

"A novel celebration was held at the home of MT. and Mrs. Frederick Wes- sell of 3s Maple street yesterday in cornmem m oration8 of the 50th anaiver- sary of their marriage. They were married a half a, century ago in the South Church of this city by Rev. Mr. Gudell and yesterday held a family dinner party in which all the members of the family, their close relatives and a few friends participated.
 The dinner resembled in almost every detail the reception held 50 years ago after the marriage. Mrs. Wesse1l was attired in the wedding gown worn by her when she walked up the aisle of the South church. the second bride to be married after the church was finished, and her daugh- maids while 8 few of the friends wore the reception dresses worn at the Wed- ding, or which they had at the time of the marriage.
 The gowns were of the style of i $50 Mrs. Wessells dress was of white satin with white beaded trimming. The lace sleeves were tightly drawn above the elbow and puffed out several inches while the train was several feet long. The other dresses were similar. During the day the couple received many congratulations from their many friends.

c. OF c. LUNCHEON.
Iii. v. Mclean of New York Will Speak Here Tomorrow.

The business men of New Britain will have a chance tomorrow at the Chamber of Commerce Luncheon, l2:30 at the Hotel Be1oin to listen to H. c. Mclean, head of the Bureau or Foreign Commerce in New York City. The Chamber is attenlptin2. to bring speakers here. each month for the noon day lnncl1eons that will give the business men a brbader under standing of the fbig questions before the nation today.
 MT. Mclean is a thorough student of foreign cori1merce and has charge of the New York office. He perhaps has far better opportunity than many representatives of the govern : ment to know the real conditions abroad and just how the future of American relations with Europe. South America and other countries will develop.
 There has been some question as to whether these luncheons are open to business men. They are held pri- nlarily for the members of the Cham Der of Commerce but merchants and manufacturers are particularly invited to send men from, their concerns.

BOOMERANG FOR DEMOCRATS

What some of the unprincipled
Democratic campaign managers are
seeking to do is to hamper the work
Of the New Mexico Council Of De-
tense. They think that because a
majority of the members of the Coun-
Gil are Republicans, it will be good
politics" to charge that these Re-
publicans are squandering the tax
payers money, and making no ac-
counting for it. They overlook the
important fact that the disbursing
agent for the council is Hon. Chas.
R. Brice, a Democrat, and that Mr..
Brice. Democrat. did make a report,
which report was printed in a num-
her of New Mexico newspaper. Mr..
Brice's report was based upon a
complete audit of the Councils ac-
counts, made by A. E. James, director
of the Taxpayers Association. Does
the Democratic campaign committee
i~nsinuate hat Mr.. Brice concealed
anything in his report, or that he had
anything to conceal? Mr.. Brice him
self is a candidate on the Democratic
ticket for presiding. judge of the
Fifth Judicial district courts.

REALIZE THEIR MISTAKE

The democratic bosses have real
lied the mistake they made in taking
up Hearst and his gang of pro-Ger-
mans for the supposed political ben
Gifts in sight. and every man of them
is nov busy explaining that the
speech made by Chief Justice Hanna
in Torrance county was simply a
legal opinion" on the legality of the
action of the State Council of De-
Tense, and that he, and his fellow
democrats are not for Hearst. The
question which then comes to us is
this: Just what business did a chief
justice of the supreme court. and a
candidate to succeed himself. have
to be giving his opinion on matters
of litigation or legal differences un-
til the matter was before his court
in the regular manner? The whole
truth, we believe. is that the demo-
cratic bosses did make a combina-
ton with Hearst but did not %antici-
pate the later Developments. and cer-
tainly could not forsee the develop
ments in the Brisbane-brewers-Ger-
mat affair. which was closely con-
nected with the Hearst affair. The
democrats, must have involved them
selves deeply, however, because thew
were forced to make good with their
agreement and take the fight TO the
state through their party platform.
although it is understood that the
present plank is very much modi-
fled from the one originally intend
ed-Las Cruces Citizen.
