THE PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR.

The action of President Wilson
yesterday in reading his report OF
the Peace Conference before the
Senate with the doors wide open
and an invitation to the people to
come and hear is greeted with ap-
prevail by the great mass of Amer
leans, as he took the people in his
confidence. A few minutes after the
close of the procedure extra papers
containing his address were being
circulated in the capital city, and a
few hours later the message to the
American people was being read
throughout the nation.
We have ever had the greatest
confidence in Woodrow Wilson and
we are sure while engaged in his
momentous task he has acted for the
good of the world while primarily
laboring in the interests Of the ma
ticn he has so ably represented for
years.
The document should be read
closely. While some matters have
necessarily been kept back, in the
main his message is all that could
be desired. That it will prove sat
isfactory is admitted even by many
not aligned with him politically.
The President did not 90 into the
intricacies of the treaty, although
he did not give few details, but
said of it that it CONSTITUTES moth
ing less than world settlement"
He made it exceedingly plain that
the League afforded TIE machinery
fer operating much of it, and that
without it tine treaty would become
mere scrap of paper. Most of
his address was devoted to the
League, which he pronounced to be
a practical necessity-'Ian indispen-
sable fundamentally for the main
tenance of the new order" We have
become a world power, he said-had
become power after the war with
Spain. "The only question is wheth.
er we can refuse the moral leader
ship that is offered us: whether we
shall accept or reject the confidence
of the world"
"My services &c said to the as
senrhlcd SeantTcs, "and all the in
formation / possess will be at your
disposal and at the disposal of your
Committee on Foreign Relations at
any time, either informally or in
session, as You may prefer, and I
hope that you will not hesitate to
make use of them"

PROFITS OF PUGILISM

Those VINO imagined that the ma
ton had gone fightmad and who pic
tured streams Of excited pugilistic
fans pouring into the city of TOLEDO
for the Willard-Dempsey fray will
be surprised to learn that the paid
attendance was exactly 1860 per-
sons, and this in spite Of the fact
that the great arena was construct
ed to seat $4,000. We have had
many more thousands at football
games in this city and at worlds
serious baseball games, although it
must be confessed that the tariff
was never so high as at the Western
event. Even those who disapprove
of such contests will be glad to know
that the United States Government
will receive over $4,000 of the pro-
ceeds as war tax and the city of
Toledo $4,000 for It's charities. Be-
sides his dislocated jaw and broken
nose, Mr.. Willard takes away $780,
600 at least, while the victorious Mr..
Dempsey receives S275O0 and pick
irgs and the promoter wins some
thing less than 100000. But these
amounts are subject to heavy Fede-
raj taxation.
All of this is interesting, if not
edifying. To some it may take
away the sting of the high cost OF
living and to others it may be con-
elusive proof of the fact that fools
and their money are just as easily
narted as ever. Incidentally it
looks as if Willard got his money
easily, if, indeed, he did not receive
It under false pretenses. The
thought of paying man big money
merely to receive beating does not
appeal to the popular imagination.
But the Thought Of contest, either
CT brain or Drawn, in the forum or
on the race track. always stlrs the
blood of an American regardless OF
age or condition in life. TIE ODD
time prize fighters never received a
prize unless they won. John L. Sui
