Governor Harrington received a
letter from the Army, Navy and
Civilian Board Of Boxing Control, $40
Madison avenue. New York City, up
holding his action in refusing non
interference in the proposed Willard
Dempsey boxing match. in Cumber-
land. Says the letter in part:
Immediately on the publication OF
your decision in regard to the Willard
and Dempsey championship match, at
the instigation OF Mr.. Gutzon Borglum
and the president Of this association.
Major Anthony ]. Drexel Biddle,
meeting of our committee was called
to congratulate you on the fearless
attitude you have adopted in connec-
tion with this matter. The committee
desires me to express to you their
great appreciation and at the same
time to inform you that 1t is within
your power to strike a blow which
will earn for you the gratitude OF all
lovers OF clean sport throughout
America.
In its letter the Army, Navy and
Civilian Board declares that the prize
fights, such as the Willard and Demp-
sey match, and others. have degraded
the sport. They declare their position
to be favorable to amateur boxing in
the Army and Navy and elsewhere Il
carried on in proper spirit and II de-
void of professional and money-making
features.

TIE NEW TOLL RATES.

The new telephone toll rates will
cause many of the patrons of this serv
ice to think the matter over. While
it is explained that the new schedule
of rates will affect charges for service
but little in many instances-in some
cases may even result in a reduction
of charges-the fact remains that the
general run of toll business will face
higher rates and higher charges,
meaning, of course. that the pu' lie will
pay more for this service in future.
which is The obvious intention OF Post
master General Burleson.
If there were any real indication
that the telephone company needed
the money the public might feel more
complacent over this increase in toll
rates. According to the last official
statement. however the development
of the telephone service has been
highly profitable. The principal COM
pany in this transaction has averaged
net earnings for the last nine years of
more than five and half times all its
interest charges and has paid divi-
dends of at least u per cent for the
last nineteen years. and of per cent
for the last twelve. In the meantime
the book value-said to be much less
than the actual value-of the COM
panys property and that of its sub
salaries, is said TO be $4,000, 100000 in
excess of all liabilities and capital
stock outstanding.
The development of the great tele-
phone enterprise has been a notable
achievement 10 the credit of its man
agement. and generally to the satisfac-
ton and the interest of the public Its
success should not be looked upon
grudgingly or obviously. Even a pub
lie service corporation is worthy of its
hire. Nevertheless the telephone pa
iron cannot help wondering" says the
Northwestern of Oshkosh. lin view OF
all this prosperity acquired under the
former system and rates, why the first
move on the part of government con-
troll and management should be to ad.
vance rates on a very important par
of the service"
But those who have watched the
course of Mr.. Burleson since he en-
tered the cabinet will find no occa.
sion for surprise. 1t has been his set
tied policy to do all the things hi
should not do and leave undone all thG
things he should do from the first.

A congressional investigation of the
Argonne battle is proposed in order to
ascertain why 50 many soldiers in the
35th division were killed. Why not
include Chateau Thierry? Many lives
were lost there. 1t is unfortunate but
true that in war lives must be sacri-
ficed. Making a fuss about It after
ward will not bring them back. The
fact is that at Chateau Thierry and in
the Argonne forest the American
troops were given a task to perform
and they did what they set out to do,
without waiting to see whether every
thing was just as it should be or nota
Thereby they probably shortened the
war by many months and saved hum
dreds of thousands of lives. Here in
Kansas we feel the losses of the S5th
division keenly because it was made
up largely of our own boys. If this
division had not done the Argonne for
est job some other division would and
probably with similar results.
