Likes a Good Scrap.

II told the boys that they could
not have the fight" said Chief
Johnson today in discussing the af-
fair, mot that I opposed a clean
scrap, for l like one, but because
complaint had been made and Mr..
Mashburn had declined to grant a
permit. The boys declared there
was to be no betting at the scene
of the fight, although they admit
ted there might be some outside
that they could not stop, and then
went their way.
81 supposed that was the end of
the affair until after supper l was
standing by the Windsor hotel
when someone asked what all that
crowd was down on Jackson street.
said l didn't know, but reckoned
it was crowd of boys down at
the club, and sent Officer Lee
down there to see about it.
pretty soon Mr.. Lee came hur-
rying back with the word that they
were fighting down there to beat
everything.
"'Get down there and stop en-
says.
4 can't stop 'em' he says come
on down and help me-.
$50 l went down with him and
as l walked into the room which
was crowded, there was a scramble
and some of them went out of the
windows. But that was only a few

"'You boys haven't done me
right l told them, and informed
them they would have to stop right
there, and they did. The way they
had treated me sort o. got my dan
der up a bit and l told them that
would see to it that they didn't
get any permit for any fights here
after"
eve felt that we had as much
right to have a boxing match in
our club rooms, where no admis-
sion was charged" said one of the
club members today, Gas they had
at the Y. M. C. A., where they
have had two or three since the
camp has been here, and without
interference with the police. Sew
eral men there last night, after
Chief Johnson came in, wanted us
to go ahead with the affair and let
the police make test case against
them for US. We think we were
clearly within our right and that
we did not need permit, since
there was to be no paid admission
and it was private affair"
But at that the affair was not
entirely fizzle. When Chief John
son walked into the hall he found
a roped ring and plenty of boxing
gloves, where two or three "pre-
liminary" events between young
sters had been pulled off leading
up to the main event, which was
to have come off Immediately.

The President and the Third Term.
(Waterbury Republican,

Any time since President Wilson has been home would have been good time for him to announce his intentions as to afthird term but right now it has become imperative that he should do so.
 Congress is faced by the necessity. of giving it's full attention to recon structive legislation and the fight against the high cost of living. It still has the treaty on it's hands and it is essential to the success of the campaign against the cost of living that the treaty should be ratified as speedily as possible. The opposition to the treaty, though it has been steadily growing weaker, is still strong enough to delay ratification to a dangerous degree if compro- mise is not effected and the fight is carried on to a knockout. It would go far towards consolidating and mol lifying the opposition if the president were now to announce that he will not be candidate for third term.
 Regrettable as it is that it should be so, considerations of the partisan politics have been potent factors in the senate opposition to the treaty
  ness of the opposition have been due to personal resentment against the president and irritation over the un- certainty of his plans. There is Q feeling that he has delayed announc- ing his intentions in order to keep the republicans guessingAto hold a whip over them. There is little doubt but that If he woud now declare his in tentlons not to be a candidate for president again, there would be a con- siderable softening of the feeling against him., lessening Of the ten- sion over the treaty and a brighten- ing of the chances for it's early ratifi- cation by compromise.
 If the president is still determined to make his speaking tour of the country it is to be hoped that his first address will incIude.his announcement upon his candidacy for a third term. He might further help by making it clear that he. is not using the treaty to boost thel political ambitions of any other democratic. leader.s ~

 "Gawdi where'U it all end, as they say in the books?" she breathed gathering; her tight skirts about her trim ankles and hopping to the high steps. A strong arm was familiarly reached out, and a big hand closed around her arm. Cheese is freshie, I'm sore" she shot at the red-faced conductor.
 "Y'ri arm?" winked the uniformed conduGtor. -..

 Arabella never knew how many signs she counted that morning as she passed <along on which "13" figured. But, sKe did know that the internal numbers daaced and skipped all too unpleaSantly in her brain. Thirteen, thirteen, thirteen,' the wheeled car bumped and chunked, and thumped. To Arabella it sounded like -, not Gabriels' last, trump put IaDTlGl s ldSl luu1up.
 Upon going into the station, she was mortified to see on the locomotives headlight the ominus figures "13". but the climax smote her reeling brain when she climbed, weak-kneed. on the Thirteenth coach All out of breath she entered the car The first thing she did-indeed it had become habit now-was to count passengers. She slowly did this with eyes that swan. There were thirteen Almost in a faint she sank into a seat. over which a drummer bent anXiously up- on beholding her white face.

She eagerly swallowed the contents. They became chummy, and as their conversation waxed interesting and t'pe drummer had learned Arabella's profession she vouched to tell his fortune. 1hey drank thirteen times. Suddenly there was a splitting, grinding crash,-then oblivion.
 When she regained consciousness, and had with great difficulty liberat- cd herself from beneath the seat that had pinned her down, she climbed out of the window of the overturned. coach. ..
 Even before her dazed brain had regained it's equilibrium, and yet while she was quite sick, voice sounded, Save me! Save mel"
 She staggered in the direction of the voice. Over broken and twisted iron, -1ao way, for she had recognized the voice

Dollar Marks Or Food?
(New York Sun.)


 The Federal Reserve Boards eluci. dation of our expanded circulation as . N effect, not cause, was simplicity self Since it takes eight pints to measure gallon it takes sixteen to measure two gallons. Exactly so. doubling national business, in dollars; doubling national wages, in dollars; doubling all transactions in doila r.. required more currency than sutfced when the business done anG the waEes handled, measured in dollars, were half as much
 AS important also is it for the pub- lie to understand the fuller meaning of the statement of the governor of the Federal Reserve Board. This is that by readjustment from the abnor. mai to the normal the transactions can shrink, in dollar marks, without loss of national wealth in the true economic sense. The wages can count lower, in dollar marks, without lahof suffering loss. On the contrary, there may be lower wages, in dollar marks: there may be lower bank cleasances, lower business transactions, in dollar marks and everybody be better of
 As clear as sunshine is the eco homie truth that there is no more bread, by single loaf. in a billion bushels of wheat at $2 a bushei than in the billion bushels at $1 bNshe; It is the wheat--not the dollar marks painted on it--which is the wealth of the nation and of mankind. 1t Is E the wheat, in it's abundance or in its scarcity, for man, woman and child, which helps to support III Or we'll the race, whatever the money wage Of labor, whatever the money income of the average human being. So it is with meat and other faod; so with rainaent and shelter; so with all necessaries
 Give everybody all the meat and bread he now has, all the clothes he now has, all the comforts he now has, and express 1t all in pennies where now 1t is expressed in dollars Then who shall gainsay in cold reason that his fruits will be as rich as they were under the former dollar marks whfrl< were larger but emptier? And after the brass tacks experience of the last year how many brains that can think straight will doubt that if the quan- tity of the necessaries and the luxu- ries alike at the disposal Of all of us today were cut in two tomorrow the riches of mankind. the riches of the individuals, though the pennies were called golden eagles, likewise would be halved to the impoverishment and misery of the nation?
 Is a dollar more valuable can a dollar be more valuable, than a dime if it will not do a dimes work? Is 0 counterfeit bill that will buy noth- ing as potent as nickel that will do the full buying of five cents? This is the fuller meaning of the assurance of the governor of the Federal Re-. serve bank. It is the normal work ing of brain power It is the un- dimmed light of truth. It is horse sense. It is, at the same time, the A B Cs of economies.
 If we have not yet come. the nation along with the economist, to see these simple, shining truths we shaik for the lesson is not yet ended.

MY CITY HOME.

I have fies trees before my house
 To cast their pleasant shade, About my windows never tWlne
 The blossoms God has made, But there are roAes sweeter far
 That on the pavements bloom The chilGfen of the city streets.
 Whose laughter fills my room. No hedges like verdaIft wall
 Adorn my dwelling place, No fountains weave upon my lawn
 A web of silver lace. For me no robins greet the sun,
 fan of golden gleams, But children play before my house,
 Who keep me young with dreams. What loneliness the streets would
 know, . If children were not here! Their joyous voices send smile ; Or lift away a tear. The country house is rich, indeed,
 With blossoms bird and tree, But happy children at my door
 Bring wealth enough to me! Morris Abel Beer in New York Her & aid.

Here's the Boy.

(New Haven Journal -Courier.) We have been looking for long time for direct evidence as to what constitutes an intoxicating beverage. We wanted 8 witness who knew and who could testify that with his own eyes, and with his inner conscious- ness all astir, he had seen the evil effects of the demon rum upon the human indulgent; a witness who was not prejudiced and who avoided local influence.
 The man has been found and he is a member of the federal house of representatives. Whisper it softly, he is from Texas and his name Is Blan- ton. a euphonious but somewhat meaningless name It appears that, this gentleman. together with a group of other gentlemen from Texas, 125 in number, enjoyed presumably upon an occasion previous to July/1 the lavish hospitality of the good people of St. Louis, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and Boston. We are sorry that we have no information to share with our readers why so many Texans pried themselves loose from their loving wives at one time. It is enough that they did. It appears that at each banquet in each of these wicked cities there were upon the handsome banquet boards" four diff ferent glasses to be filled with wine Interrupted in the course of his thrill ling tale in the house by that wicked old. sinner from Illinois, Uncle Joe Cannon, MT. Blanton said he knew that the glasses were filled with wine "because 1 could see what went into them" Now for the sad tale and the conclusion drawn from it: Now while the contents of these glasses did not affect the bankers of St. Louis or the bankers of Chicago, or the bankers of New York, or the bankers of Philadelphia; no, nor the bankers of Boston: I could see that they af- fected some of my good friends from Texas. sSo," continued the inmtable gentleman from the one star state. "I say to you that you cannot say that g. certain percentage of alcohol is not intoxicating because what will intoxicate one man will have no noticeable effect on another"
 The logic with which this story. proceeds is, of{ course, impressive. Somehow it reminds us of the mighty battle between a protectionist and free trader during the campaign of 1887 The free trader was arguing that the industries of the country were suffering from over production and needed markets abroad He had no sooner ended than his delighted antagonist leaped to his feet, and in voice that could be heard ten miles away shouted: The gentleman is wrong, We are suffering from underconsumption." Of Blanton we have to say: Alta boy" N

Soviet Government and Bolshcvisn.


 Efforts are being made to dis tinguish between the Soviet govern ment prevailing in Russia and Bol- shevism It is claimed that while ths latter is undesirable and an evidence of the control of socialist party, just as a palticlar party might control the affairs of the United States neverthe- less it is asserted the Soviet govern ment is form of government and de- sirable, no matter what particular party pfevails and is in power. Tn distinction between Bolshevism and Sovietism.
 There is a distinction but neither is desirable. The Soviet form of gov ernment fs something moro than rep resentative government through trades and groups instead of through territorial sections; it is a complete reversal of economic and industrial experience of the centuries. It is the rule of the most ignorant peasants and the slavery and disfranchseInen of all who have any property or who do not work with their hands or who employ any one. It is an overthrow of the systems whereby civilized so- ciety has progressed, property made safe, thrift rewarded and marriage and home made sacred. Such a sys- tenn of government has no Virtue whatever and should not receive the slightest consideration of sane men and women.
