THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
GIVING THE PEOPLE A cHANcE

Glory be - the President has gone
out from Washington to hold coun-
sci with the people. He will tell them
all about the plans made at Versailles
to establish permanent peace for the
world through the League of Nations,
and he will seek to direct demand
from the people" !" which if successful.
will be speedily obeyed in Washington
in the ratification of the peace treaty.
And then, again, he will seek to allay

has arisen from the high cost of living
and other causes.
',OTHER CAUSES"
"Other causes - aside from the
high cost of living that has created so
much unrest throughout the country,
remind one that:
"The earth was made so various,
that the mind
Of desultory man, studious of change
indulged."
And pleased with novelty, might be
Liutneant Colonel Samuel 7. An
sell. the "ible and fearless champion
of the soldiers" saps that the spirit

it ras been subjected to system ILL
adapted to the citizen soldier and his
development, that it has been subjec-
ted TO system which is not in conson-
ance with our institutions, which is con-
trary to our traditions and sentiments,
which belongs to an age and system
of government with which we insist
upon having no other connection" A
brave pioneer in formulating this idea
is Hugh Jeffries, who served "over
there" and came back with sergeant's
chevrons, and a determination to
change some of the ''Roman Customs"
that prevail in the management Of ar
mics. He.is the president of the Amer
ican Military Reform Association. with
headquarters in Washington, and with

TO put the case Of Americanism before
the people. His voice and pen are en-
listed for Justice in the army estab-
lished under laws enacted by the peo-
pie.
These able champions of reforms in
the court martial and the disciplinary
systems in the army, declare that 'the
American soldier is proud, and justly
so" but mot proud Of the system Of
discipline to which fir moment it be-
came subjected: it was not exalted by
its experience; it was not satisfied with
a treatment which was regarded as un-
as it was harsh and unhelp-
full"
These spokesmen Of the soldiers
speak an abundance Of truth when they
assert that "the spirit Of soIdSsty IS
sore" This has been evidensJ in
many wavs, and the fact thsa three
fourths of the soldiers insurance pol
icies have been allowed to lapse, is one
of the indications.

Vernon Youngsters To
Exhibit at State Fair
Miss McCaIIum Points Out That Thew
Have Chance to Win Premiums There

Believing that Vernon Boys and
Girls Of the Pig, Corn, Tomato, and
Poultry Clubs have as much chance to
win prizes at the state fair, and that
they can show products which will rank
with the best exhibited by Others, Miss
McCallum is urging that they prepare
exhibits according to the rules laid
down for making exhibits. One of the
special premiums offered is One Hun
dred Dollars to be given by the Hast
lngs Seed Company of Atlanta, Geor-
gla to defray expenses of boys and
girls at the Louisiana State University
The following from the State Fair bull

will result by giving courses at the Un-
iversity to number of members from

special lectures and instruction In sub
lects in which the club members are in
terested. The following regulations

other expenses will amont to vast
sum. The casual observer might think
that the promoter will still have a big
margin of profit out of the charges
for admission. At first glance this
seems reasonable but Richard is 60
ing to pay the regular war tax of ter
per cent on all tickets purchased and
has guaranteed the local authorities
a percentage also. The United States
government however, will have big
claim for income tax so that when ev
erything is deducted from the gate"
Richards margin of profit probably
will fall short of the results he at
tanned in some of his previous ven
lures.
Some changes have been made in
the conditions governing the bout
since the original articles were sign
ed, the most important being the linn
iting of the contest to twelve rounds
and the reduction of the size of the
ring twenty feet square. Originally
the men were to have gone twenty or
more rounds and the intention was tc
have regulation 24-foot ring. Other

Both Have Big Following
When the men step into the ring
on Friday each will have a big fol-
lowing of partisans. Those who rely
on Wizards retaining his title, insist
that he is invulnerable to punishment
and that Dempsey will fail to reach
his burly opponent with an effective
blow. Many of them also claim that
Willard has never hit human being
with the full force of which his huge
frame is capable. 1t is said that once
during his preparation for a previous
contest Willard lost his temper on
being stung by the blow of spar
ring partner. Then the big fellow
landed vicious swing which swept
his opponent and one of the ring
posts to a spot several yards ava.
from the ringside and that the

for many days afterward.
Dempsey's friends, and they are
legion, confidently state that no man
however big or strong can withstand
the impact of full weight hook or
swing from either of Jacks fists.
They look for quick ending to the
contest with Dempsey winner
They say that Jack can land on Will
lard's jaw just as effectively as he
did on Fred Fulton's last year. They
rely on Jacks fearlessness as a big
asset in conjunction with his heavy
hitting power. Dempsey's youth also
is one of the arguments his adher-
ents advance as being decided fac
tor in his favor as Dempsey is "a
years old. There are conflicting state
ments as to Wizards exact age but
it is the general belief that the Kan
san has passed the forty year mark.
Dempsey Has Been Busy
Dempsey has taken part in many
ring contests during the last four
years while Willard has fought on
ly twice within that period. Jess
won the championship from johnson
at Havana Cuba in April 1915. That
battle lasted twenty-six rounds. Just
