FREE-FOR-ALL <. RAID IN STATE
 CASH BLOCKED
Governor Campbell Holds
 Up Payment of Further Warrants on Contingent Fund of Last Legislature

The raid on the contingent fund of the Fourth state legislature has been arrested, though whether in time to save any part of it. is not yet certain. But warrants amounting to about $500 have been held up by Governor Camp bell since his return. It appears, though, that $5,276.49 has been eXpend- ed for clerical services alone in the preparation of the journals of both houses for publication, since the ad- iournment of the Legislature in March. This work, which has hitherto occupied the attention of four clerks for a month and which had cost at the most S700, has received the attention of at least A clerks for three months.
 Before the departure of the governor on his eastern trip he addressed a let ter to L. P. Sweating, secretary of the senate, and in charge of the work of preparing the senate journal, and AL fred Trippel, in the absence of Sam P. Bradner chief clerk of the house, mak- ing inquiry as to the progress that lad been made in about two months. He received no reply.
 Brought the Replies
 On his return he renewed his in quiry and accompanied his message with the announcement that no more warrants for that work would be coun- tersigned until he had been informed Thereupon explanations poured in upon aim.
 On June II the governor wrote the state auditor, making inquiry what funds had been appropriated for this purpose, and he asked for copies of the instructions that had been given by the presiding officers of the senate and the shouse relative to the drawing of money ffor this work. Said the governor:
 The slowness with which this work has proceeded has impelled me to cal a halt for the protection of the state funds, until such time as I have beer afforded an explanation"
 This letter also served as a notice tC the auditor that no more warrants would be countersigned until this ex. planation was forthcoming. This data IS asked for" said the governor, "sC that 1 can make a searching investiga ton of this matter and determine whether this work has been done witt

ON POINTS

The great contest between Pal Moore, a Memphis fighter,
and Jimmy Wilde, a British boxer, terminated in favor of the lat
ter. This was not surprising E TO those who did not let their enthu-
siasm Tor the home boy overwhelm their Judgment.
Moore was trying to do one thing, while the little Welsh boy
was doing another, Moore sought to crush his opponent by slug
cling, and while he did more and better fighting, his opponent, by
depending on SKILL agility and science, scored the greater num-
Der OF Ypoints."
Had the fight gone to a finish the Memphis boy would prob
ably have been the victor, 1t was not a fight, but a game of tag.
Moore strove to initiate Jack Dempsey, which would have been
all right IN a tight IN a game OF tag it was sure to lead to disaster.
Moore seems to have been badly advised. He did not know or
did not seem TO know the game he was playing, Had he devoted
his time to running up points instead OF trying to land a knock
out, he would have Jared better in the final audit.
In a musical contest, il A plays Schubert's Serenade, for
instance, as 1t is written, and B tries to play it in Jig time, A will
win on points" 1t is really no contest, because the parties are
engaged in wholly different enterprises.
Englishmen boast of their love of fair plav, and no doubt the
bout was decided in a manner that is technically unimpeachable
but Enghshmen are tricky in sports and will take an advantage.
when Mitchell fought Sullivan at Chantily, France, it was a
loot race, IN which the Engishman excelled. Sullivan wanted 10
light as he always did, while Mitchell wanted to keep out of the
way and last as long as possible. hoping for some happy accident
to give him the best Of II. 1t was foouhardy in Moore to engage
IN a prize fight before an English audience with an English rel
cree, while his opponent was engaged in a sparrinp match for
points, lie was beaten before he got across the ocean Could
he have landed a knockout blow it would have been different hut
Moore lacks the punch. limited-round contests decide NOTHING
unless, as in the case OF Dempsey and Willard, one blow dos
the business; then 1t is all over in so far as the money il cor.
cerned. and the money is what they are all after. On This scor,
Moore cannot complain-he will bring home Sl2ON which !,
a neat sum for a few weeks work. He has lost NOTHING in Ne

MORE WAR

A statesman from the ~antpodes, who has been a looker-on
in Vienna, states that German chemists are preparing deadlier
missiles than any hitherto used, and are preparing for another
war, which, he thinks, is sure to come, That Germany will try
again we may be sure. The Hun has never yet admitted himself
defeated, and while his war lord has been removed, the war spirit
abides in the people, Like the prize fighter who gets whipped,
the Hun wants another chance, and in this respect he is not dit
ierent from other people. Even the schoolboy who gets lar
ruped looks forward to the time when he will be big enough
TO whip his teacher. 1t is human nature.
The Hun Will come again, Just as soon as he thinks he is
able, The civilized world must be prepared to meet and crush
him, When the armsuce was signed this country had deadly
gas enough stored on the Atlantic coast to put an end to all
animal life in Germany in a couple of days. 1t was once pro-
posed to sink this destructive agency in the Atlantic ocean, but
wiser counsels prevailed, and it was preserved. OF course
another supply could be made, but the expense would be cnor-
nous. If German chemists are to take, the field as representa-
tives Of Mars, American chemists will meet and match them at
any game they choose to play.
Oh one thing nearly all military men seem to be assured; In
future wars physical courage and prowess will not count for SO
much as they have done in the past, Science will be the arbiter
The Germans are not original thinkers, but great developers
and they may have learned the secret of the American discovery
and are enlargng upon it. But American scientists can take
care of themselves and Of this country, as they have done. That
they will be called upon in the future required not an antipodear
prophet to tell us.
