WANTED-AM MOTTO

Our attention has been called re- gently to the fact that we are running what purports to be weekly paper and yet we apparently have neglected to adopt motto as a sort of password Or such.
 Strange. but we really never gave the matter of a motto a thought until now, and we do feel the need of one. Why have motto? We'll, motto is a very convenient piece of furniture for a newspaper to own or to adopt Editors have found that a motto can be used as sort of a foil which which to ward off undesirable matter that too often IS presented for publication. With an elestic species of motto the editor can readily refuse such matter on the ground that it does not harmonize with the papers motto. On the other hand he can explain away the presence of embarrassing matter in his co.'s. on the pretext that the papers motto demands its presence, etc, etc.
 Having thus decided to adopt a motto, the Cancels Back hereby calls upon and invites its readers to submit notices that they think we could req sonaoly afford to adopt The motto may be one selected or invented From among those submitted, the editor will choose the one he wants, and will award the conventional prize of one ooliar 10 the one suggesting the win hing motto. Competitors will be per mltted to submit arguments for O, against their motto, said arguments to De limited to 400 words. Send vou, suggestion to the editor of this week., today.

 It is that the firemen Bdston have re- mained loyal; suppose firemen would be every where We have mentioned the contingency of their disloyalty only to show that the situation Bos ton than it is it would be one at which we should despair of the republic.
 There was one only really disturbing thing in connection with this whole affair. It not the support of the rebellious policemen by the Ameri- Federation of Labor If the federation dis posed contest with the people for the loyalty of men who had taken oath to support the govern ment the people would welcome that contest to the end that vital question might be settled forever.
 The alarming thing the proposed nterven- ton of the president the Boston affair request that the strike be suspended until the could be looked into Here was a suggestion for com promise and compromise is possible only when both sides partly right here was recognition of possibility that the policemen might have some excuse for violating their oaths; that, at any rate they might be brought acknowledge that they have made mistake and should be restored,
 Though Boston could not afford to accept the good offices, even of the president in matter in voving sacred principle and would not have accepted them, the fact that president represent ing the people and to support the consttu- ion and orderly government had advised settle ment with rebels disturbing to friends of order and to some extent must have been encouraging to the enemies of orderly government
 It is true that the president denounced the ac- ton of the police, but his support the authorities of Massachusetts and Boston was not unqualified Tn that he recognized the existence of situation that might be adjusted by giving and taking-by letting by-gones be by gones-by leaving the issue which had been raised in abeyance just as MT Gompers later proposed
 But the whole people are bigger and more pow erful than any part of the people, they are bigger than the president; bigger than the government at Washington-by which mean. any one admin istration They are just big and powerful as the government which exists perpetually for they are that government.
 The American people will never be ruled by any part of themselves. They will control the na : uon their states and their cities. Factions fedora uons' churches and presidents will always be con- uolled by them If they should ever lose that con trol then we shall have vastly different form of government from that the fathers established and the civil war confirmed. The government will then be either such that of Russia was or such as that of Russia is

The Camefs Back presents herewith an exclusive account of a recent bout between Kid Ross, sporting jargon- ist for the GuIlible Gazette, and "Hefty" Adams. sporting juggernaut for the Irreproachable Republican.
 This scrap has been cleverly termed the battle of the wits by the Camels Back sport scribe, to which original terminology the City Desk on this fear less weekly fears to enter a demurrer.
 The fight was called a draw by Type Louse who officiated as referee. The big crowd of spectators evidenced their wild enthusiasm over the decision by emitting healthy yawns and prOpping their eyelids open with bits of match sticks they had whittled for them selves during the heat of the battle. The referee served official notice, how ever, that the decision stands in toto, whereupon the crowd put on his hat and left
 They Flushed Pink
 The principals were in the pink of condition. having trained themselves for a period of years. Ross was the first to step into the ring, accompa- nied by his second, Printers Devil. Ere the silence of the applause had died down, Adams zoomed over the ropes, followed by his second, Barrell- l-a-Ink.
 Both contestants were claid in the official garb of sport scribbler scrap pers, consisting of sheet of copy paper tied fore and aft around the waist with typewriter ribbon, and we are sorry that our artist broke his hand when he tried to illustrate the fighters according to our description, but in the sporting world the best you can hope for is an even break and so our artist tells us he got all that was | coming to him. Ross showed his taste for the artistic by wearing red and black ribbon, while Adams contented | himself with the conventional blue
 Both men were armed with S-poin1 type on 12-point slugs. a fact which
 lead the fans to expect a lively slug ging match.
 Spectators Surprised
 Precisely at about a quarter to ths
 middle of the week the two paper
 scrappers were beckoned to the cen
 ter of the ring by Referee T. Louse
 who introduced the fighters and ex- plained the rules. The mention of rules came as distinct surprise to the audi

The Ultimate Victim

When capital wants extra gains On profits tightens all the reins, Who has to suffer all the pains?
 The public. When labor gets dissatisfied And would conditions override, Who gets submerged beneath the tide?
 The public When strikes put up the price of food And each side holds firm attitude Who always has to make loss good?
 The public When street cars cease to run and balk At all concliation talk, Who has to pay the freight and walk?
 The public. When managers and actors fight, And theaters are closed at night, Who sees amusement out of sight?
 The public. Who in disputes which rise each day. Is not permitted any say, But always loses either way?
 The public. -"Josh Wink in the Baltimore American.

 Watch him awhile and you'll think different" the man answered pointing a lean brown finger at Certeis boat which was headed out to sea. Eacn held the position a long time, Ike Il man in a trance. And in a way, he must have hypnotized me For I had a vision of Certeis wearing Tiny Golf diving dress, and going after the jewels. He could locate the sunken craft with a magnet as l had seen Jo Bach do some weeks since. He could descend by a rope ladder, and fasten his floating motorboat to the hulk be- low. After finding the treasure, he would have to throw off his weighted dress, and rise to the top of the sea like a pearl diver, then swim to the safety of his small boat
 Tt won't take Certeis long to get into trouble,' said Bach. "Certeis knows all the secrets of this business that know-except just one. But that's the big onel"
