ON FOOT TO slLvERToN.

Following his abbreviated fight with

he might be able to PICK up q fight in
Silverton, which was sportively in

He came to a place where an aerial
tramway was hosting chunks of ore
and other portions of the scenery across
a wide gap in the country, an aerial
tramway being a lot Of big iron buckets
strung on a cable, There was a man in
charge of this tram who seemed to like
the looks of the footsore fighter.

a lift?'
Jack would. 1t would save him quite
a hike. He deposited his weary bones
In one of the iron buckets, and the
bucket started crawling out into the air
over a valley. About midway it stopped
and Jack hung suspended between
heaven and earth, with about as much
space beneath him as there was above
him, Something had gone wrong with
the machinery, and there he was.
For. several hours he hung there.
Every time he moved a bit the bucket
would teeter forward In the most
alarming manner, a. II 1t intended
splitting him into the valley. A most
thoroughly agitated young mar crawled
out Of the bucket when the machinery
finally got started up again and landed

There was nothing doing for Jack in
the way OF combat in Silverton, and he
commenced to think there was mighty
little future to his new profession. He
began turning his attention to the more
serious matter OF mining, securing a Job
as a "mucker" In a mine. That's
shoveling ore.

he worked In other mining camps

could do almost anything around a

He did not stick long in Silverton,
but went back to Montrose. which he
again made a base OF operations for
brief sorties into agricultural regions
as a farm hand. Meantime he had
heard that his family had moved to
Salt Lake City, and he was seized with
q sudden desire to see them and to
shove his feet under the old family
board. He crawled aboard a freight

DELMONTS GOLD FEET"
Coyle Shea, who has been overseas
and who saw many Memphis boxers
over there, gives us the lowdown on
the statement h a came out recently
to the effect that Gene belmont, Mem
phis lightweight, had been barred from
participating in the allied boxing bouts
on account of alleged cold feet.
belmont is not afraid of anybody
living says Coyle. THE reason he
was barred was because he refused
to fight a negro named Leo Patterson,
and because he refused to fight he
was accused Of being scared and was
barred. belmont, being a Southern boy,
couldn't see his way clear to box a
smoke, and consequently was barred"

Newport Auto Accident
Boy Narrowly Escapes Death When
He Steps in Front of Ford Car
Near Derby Center

NEWPORT, July 15-Clinton Fair
brother, the 10 year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Hugh Fairbrother Of New
port had a very narrow escape from
death yesterday, when he was hit on
the head by a passing auto. The
accident occurred about 11.30 on the
lower road near Derby Center. Gin
ton was riding on the seat with his
Uncle Nat Rowell of Derby who was
returning home from Newport with
his auto truck, where he had been
to carry the milk to the creamery. AS
they were half way up the hill near
the Sash and Door shop, the truck
was going very slowly being heavily
loaded.
At this point Clinton stepped of the
truck to go to the home of his grand
mother Mrs. A. A Rowell, who lived
near by. He passed around back of
the truck to cross the road, and in
doing so did not see the Ford run
about driven by Jay Carr of Newport
which was coming down the hill to-
ward Newport, neither did the driver
Of the car see the boy until it was too
late too avoid the accident. The
fender of the car hit him on the head,
threw him some distance, his head
striking stone Young Carr stopped
his auto about rs feet from the acct
dent and did all he could for the boy,
who was taken to the home of his
grandmother. A doctor from Derby
and DR.. Longe of Newport were call
ed: also the boys father arrived
shortly after the accident as he was
working at Derby Center that dav
and was on his wav to Mrs. Rowell's
where he was to take dinner. The
bow was unconscious until late in the
afternoon when he began to lnllv. At
4 late hour it is not known lust how
serious the accident will rrove tn 70.
Int homes are entertained that he is
not seriously injured. No blame is
attached to aCrr for the accident.

AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY
AND MONROE D0CTRiNE

The Monroe Doctrine, as originally
announced, served as a shield, which
the United States held over itself and
over weaker states on the American
continents as protection against
European interference and European
encroachment. 1t was and is a
national policy which protects North
and South America and makes for
peace on these continents.
There is real danger now, however,
that the Monroe Doctrine will De
carried SO far and with so high a
hand that the real value of the policy
will be lost.
Senator Knox made the following
amazing statement in his recent
speech in the Senate:-"Its (The
Monroe Doctrine) precise character,
the extent, method and time of its
application, the means of compelling
it's observance, all are matters OF our
high and uncontrolled will and SOW
ereign prerogatiye. We, the United
States, cannot answer to any one
as, and to the extent we need it.
There can be no limitation upon it,
except our requirements, our will, and
our force of arms. Whatever security
We may need within its purview, It
must give if we ask it"
That sounds like Trietschke. 1t Is
an announcement Of unlimited will,
backed by arms, to be exercised as
the United States alone determines
her own requirements to be. Such
an immoderate statement of the Mon
roe Doctrine weakens and does not
strengthen it. 1t is All extreme
statement of the doctrine calculated
to cause trouble and friction on the
American continents. The Doctrine
so stated is not unlike the doctrine
which Germany sought to apply to
Europe.
Senator Knox would refuse to sub
nit to Cancellation any dispute grow
ing out of the application of the
Monroe Doctrine, whether such dis
pute were between the Unitd States
and an American state or between
the United States and non-Ameri-
can state. On the American CONT
nent the arbitrary will Of the United
States backed by force is to prevail.
The other nations agree, in the Cow
enant of the League of Nations, to
submit to Cancellation all nom justici-
able disputes; that is, those which
grow out of questions of policy. Is
the United States to demand that she
alone be relieved from such obliga-
ton and on the ground that, when
her interests are involved, her abso-
lutte will shall prevail? How does this
differ from the German position in
Europe?
The fact is that the Monroe Doc
trine now that it has been recognized
in the Covenant of the League of Ma
ions is adequately protected.
1t is such announcements as that
of Senator Knox and not the wise
provision in the Covenant of the
League of Nations which threaten the
usefulness of the Monroe Doctrine.
