The national boxing body has had

There is no good excuse not to.
When asked promoters and prin-
cipals OF the bout why the naming OF
referee was being delayed they told
me that Il was best that n referee
be not named until few days be
fore the fight, to keep up interest
and TO avoid any possibility Of the
referee being fixed.
There Is nothing to such argument.

A ROYAL Visitor

The Prince of Wales, heir to the
throne of Great Britain, is visiting
canada. The heir to the Kingship is
always named the Prince of Wales,
Wales, which is a province of Great
Britain. wanted a king some hundreds
Of wears ago., a native-born king. Sc
a Gueen Of Great Britain went to
Wales and gave birth to her first
child in that province. AS his father
was King the babe born in Wales be-
came Prince of Wales. That satisfied
the people of Wales so they had a real
King born on the soil.
TIE full name of the Prince of
Wales is Albert Christian George An
drew Patrick David Windsor.
His great grandmother, Victoria.
Queen of England from 1837-1901,
married Prince Albert Wetten, a Ger
man Prince. During the war with
Germany the royal house of Great
Britain dropped the German name of
Wetten and adopted the old English
name of Windsor. 1t has been the ia
NOUS home of English Kings as far
back as 1866 when William |, known
as the Conqueror, came oven from Nor
mandy, a part of France, and took
| charge of the country by overthrow
ing the Saxon King. Windsor Cas-
tie has been the home of English
ROYALTY for 1000 years.
The first child of Victoria and Al
bert Wetten was born in 1910 and be-
came the Empress of Germany by
marriage to King William l of Prussia.
Being the oldest child of the British
Queen, Victoria, William II. King of
Prussia and late Emperor Of Germany,
believed that his grandfather should
have been the rightful heir to the
throne of Great Britain and by descent
he was entitled to be also King of the
British Empire as we'll as the En-
peror of Germany.
Consequently>he started the war in
1914 to first whip France and then
conquer England. AS the United
States citizens were a lot of rebels
who seeded from the British Empire,
Kaiser William II intended to fore
close on his divine rights of me and
Gott'' and rule the universe.
But yankee grit made the Kaiser
git" out of his own country, so he is
not now King even Of Prussia.
AS the British navy prohibited the
German navy bombarding the United
States and the Yankee boys backed
up British in France and led the
way to victory over German autocracy,
the Yankee can well afford to give a
glad hard of welcome to the Prince of
Wales, representative of the British
Empire which has been a comrade in
arms against autocracy. While George
V is King of the British Empire,
largely a figurehead, and the Prince of
Wales will probably be his successor,
Lloyd George, the Welsh lawyer is
the brains which directs the destiny
of that nation.

Reason For Costly Shoes

The Federal Trade Commission has
made public a report of its lnvestlga-
ton into the reasons for the high
prices of shoes and the threat of even
higher prices. 1t finds, in brief, that
the packers, the tanners, the Jobbers,
each in turn, took heavy and unJustl-
fable toll in the way of excessive
profits and that this boosting process
was continued by the shoe manutac-
turer, the shoe jobbers, and the re,
tailers. All this load of unnatural
profit was unloaded on the consumer.
AS a remedy for these evil condi-
tons the commission proposes: L. A
rigid enforcement of the laws against
monopolistic control of commodities
2. Legislation %forbidding producers
of hides engaging in the tanning busl-
ness. 8. The adoption of a device in
the distribution of shoes that will ac-
quaint the consumer with the selllng
price of the manufacturers.
No doubt much good will result from
the publicity given to this eXtraordln,
arv condition in respect of leather anc
shoes, but there will be no adequate
relief without remedial action by Con
gress.
Fortunately, the Democratic ma.
tional administration has some regare
for the interests of the people. Al
ready it is after the hoggish "protl'
teers" and is determined to BRING
them to book, to the extent Of the law

The Prohibition Code

There is SO much misinformatior
about the provisions of the proposes
Federal Prohibition Code, that it will
be of value to know just what the
Code does not prohibit, said Wayne b
Wheeler. Geaeral Counsel of the Anti
Saloon League of America.
1t does not prevent the possession o.
Intoxicating liquor in private dwellings
if the liquor vas secured before the
law goes into effect.
1t does not prevent the sale OF alco'
holic liquors for n~on-beverage pur-
poses such as medicinal, mechanical
art, scientific, or any other such pur-
pose.
It does not prohibit the manufacture
and sale of soft drinks containing not
more than one-half of n per cent
alcohol by volume.
1t viii not interfere with the sale OF
alcoholic extracts, under the proposed
amendment from the judiciary COM
mittees. unless they are sold for bever-
age purposes.
Ii provides complete machinery for
the development of the industrial al
cohoi industry.
1t does prohibit the manufacture,
sale, transportation, expectation, fur
nishing, receiving Or possession of IN
t~oxicating liquors except as author
lied in this act.
1t does specifically authorize in Sec
ton IS. of the act, that liquors secured
before the law goes into effect may be
possessed in a private dwelling. This
provision is more liberal than those
found in the laws of the Prohibition
States. The liquor cannot be seized
even though the home is turned into a
speakeasy. Liquor in a home which is
a speakeasy should be subject to seiz-
ure. In this respect it should be and
doubtless will be changed.
Every section Of the proposed bill
except the one last referred to, has
been tried out in the States and found
to be necessary if the law is to be en-
forced. The effort to make it appear
that the law is drastic is a part of the
brewery propaganda. The friends of
Prohibition will not ask for %unreason-
able or unprecedented provisions.
