BEST FIGHTERS
!; ! FOR Bis BILLS


= 1Sck Island Legionnaires are
Ha9pning to make the winter Sea-
! son one Of the best sporting Sea-
!. sel6 in the history Of tri-city ath-
letics. Posts throughout the na-
ton are going to general sport pro-
.snntion % . large scale and the ex-
doughboys Of Rock Island believe
they can organize and support
various athletic features with equal
facility.
The sport idea has been upper.
most with the Rock Island post for
many months. It will remembered
that Rock Island earned the credit
Of advocating legal boxing and i'm
polling its adoption as a measure
for the state legislature at last
summers Chicago encampment.
Since then the boxing germ has
been working overtime.
May Sign Martin, Smith.
The legion has acted on their in
itiative to open negotiations with
some OF the best fighters in the
country, and already one OF their
representatives was sent east to
seek a match between Bob Martin,
the A. e. F. heavyweight champion,
and Sergeant Ray Smith. his likez-
est adversary. Martin had the mis-
fortune to break hand in his re-
cent battle with Gap" Bob Roper
in Boston. but is expected to agree
to terms as soon as his damaged
initt can stand the gaff.
The legiannaires figure that a
Martin-Smith bout in Rock Island
would be one Of the best draws.
from a box Office standpoint, that
has ever been held In the tri-cities.
Martin and Smith ave been boxing
exclusively under the auspices OF
various legion posts in other cities.
Wherever they go they are feted by
former doughboys. Moreover, Mar
tin and Smith are types Of fighters
that attract record crowds.
The post is also considering nego-
tiations with five or six other top
notchers. including Pete Herman,
Jack Britton, Tommy Gibbons,
Charlie White and Captain Bob
Roper.
Seek Matchmaker.
The possibility OF having to en-
gage an out-of-town matchmaker
for these entertainments is immi-
npnt. and ALREADY such skilled
Watchers as Emil Thirty, Mike Nc
Nulty and Barney Lichtenstein have
expressed willingness to serve in
such a capacity. Should an out-of-

Emil Thirty would be- appointed be-

Preparedness at Last

Congress appropriated money for
an army of 175.000 men, although
authorizing $4,000. Although war
with Germany was declared April 6,
1917 Secretary Baker is at last get
ting prepared and is straining every
means to fill out the limit provided
regardless of whether there is money
enough. No explanation is given for
piling this burden on the tax payers.
The department assumes that the law
is mandatory, which of course is
mere assumption. The fact appears
to be that Baker is merely a figure
head, that the general staff wishing
to increase its functions and swell it's
importance as much as possible is
behind the move and pushing recruit
ing to the utmost. 1t might seem i'm
pertinent to suggest that Baker,
whose winning ways with slackers
have become notorious, might ar
range with that 40 odd thousand
against whom there are cases on file.
Now that there seems to be no dan
ger Of fighting they might be glad of
a job.

Capitalize Our Waters.

While Just at present Bath, and the
other cities along the Kennebec, are
not doing much to capitalize the
beautiful river which flows past them
the time is not far distant when the
Kennebec and other Maine rivers will
come into their own again. Ship
ments by water can be made so much
cheaper than by rail that the time is
coming back when large part of the
shipments in and out of the State will
be by water as they were in the old
days. The Kennebec river cities are
already seeing this and planning a
resumption Of the steamboat service
with Boston and there is little doubt
but that the movement to take over
that line and re-establiSh it will be
successful. Some of these days, when
Maine water power is more fully de-
veloped, more factories are coming to
Maine where they can get cheap fuel
and get away from burning coal.
When they do this they will locate
along the rivers and harbors of.Maine
where they can get not only the ad-
vantage of electric power, brought
from the great dams farther up the
State, but the advantage of water
shipments. What more natural than
that they should come to the Kenne-
bee valley where the source of power
will be as great, if not greater. than in
other parts of the State, and where
flows a river big enough to float the
big cargo carriers which will take
their products to foreign or domestic
ports. 1t should be remembered too
that the Maine coast is nearer Europe
than any of the ports farther south
and in these days the matter of time
enters largely into the methods of do
ing business. Yes. there are great pos
sibilities for Names future if her sons
and daughters will only awaken to
those opportunities and get what is
their due.

Maine Self Supporting?

On the principle that he who gives,
receives, one especially worth consid-
ering at this season, it seems fitting
to remark that each of us trying to
give our good State something Of
value places himself in a receptive
attitude, to say the least. The Bath
Times, commenting on the address
by Hon. w. r. Pattangall before the
Sunday Forum, advising Maine
people to raise and make as many of
the various articles of daily use as
we can, right here in Maine, says:
"Mr. Pattangall hit the right note
there" The Times adds:
Maine has wonderful RESOURCES.
but it depends too largely upon
people living in other states to supply
many of the goods which are used
here. Maine should raise more of its
own produce, more Of it's own beef,
pork and mutton and hundreds Of
other things for which we send to
other states. To be at our greatest
prosperity we should import as little
as possible from other states and ex-
port beyond our border all that we
can. In other words we should keep
all the money we can coming into the
State and stop sending out any more
than is necessary"
Not only should we encourage this
spirit but II it is to apply itself sue
cessfully ways ana means must be
devised. Our facilities between pro-
Queer and consumer must be i'm
proved. 1t. must not continue posi-

am at the mercy of the fellow who
buys to sell out Of the State" Much
Of the trade difficulties in this coun-
try, much of the extortions of war
time, are due to the toll taken by in
termediate hands on products that
should have gone more directly from
producer to consumer. We need stor-
age facilities in Maine, for one thing,
and we will have them If we keep
insisting on it. Likewise we will
have the products of the Maine farms
on our tables when we insist on it.
Why not begin with the New Year?

Maine and the Doctors

Has Maine need Of doctors? Yes,
in The rural communities where the
people should have the modern safe
guards for health. What shall be
done to supply them? Manifestly one
of the things which should not be
done is to ermit our Maine Medical
School to be discontinued because of
lack of support.
Bowdoin College cannot afford to
furnish it with financial support, can
not afford to be identified with an in
stitution which is not kept at high
standard. Maine should and will
recognize that an institution bearing
her name, the only institution Of its
kind within the limits Of the State an
institution which was among the first
for which the new State provided,
must not be permitted to lower its
standard And if its doors are closed
where may we look for the physicians
needed in our rufkL communities?
1t is not likely that young medical
practitioners from out of the State
will wish to come. here and fill the
vacancies. AS it is. our own young
doctors do not care to give much of
their, professional life in the country
towns where in former times the
country doctor was one of the most
important factors in the community
and capable of accomplishing much
good--and as a rule doing it. Indeed
the problem of how we may remedy
this difficulty. how we may encourage
the young practitioner to take up
and stay with the work is now being
discussed when we have our Maine
institution to draw from. It has been
suggested that communities or the
state should give assistance with the
provision that the graduate should
agree to give in return a certain
period of his time to practice in the
rural communities
The past few years have not been
encouraging to professional men. The
requirements of modern medical
education are exactihg, J, rightly so.
The matter of expense is None which
deters many man who Otherwise
would like TO avail himself of it. NE
result of all these conditions is az
growing need. which must be supplied
if we are to make the most If our
State. That need will be greatly in
tensified and the solution made much
more difficult if the Maine Medical
School is compelled to close its doors.
