Half a Million Dollars.

Would you seriously consider a
proposition offering half a million
dollars to two husky young men to
meet and try to knock each other
unconscious? Does il sound like a
sensible scheme, or. even like an ethi-
cal manner of making money? If
anybody came to your Office and with
plea couched in the above terms
and asked for a contribution toward
the half million wouldn't you have
him sent to the psychopathic. hos
pital for examination?
Yes, but how does it sound this
way: Dempsey and Carpenter
Offered 100000 for Meet at Havana?

thousand and name your own man ?"
you say.
What's the difference: None. ex-
cept that the great bout manifests
the commerciaiixation of the art of
boxing. 1t is not boxing for it's own
sake; it is prostitution of the: sport
for the sake of making money. 1t does
nobody good. not even the con-
testants; it is unearned increment,
money paid for nothing produced, no
service rendered.
Half million dollars invested at
six per cent. would return an annual
income of $4,000. How many college
professors might be supported better
than they are if they had a share Of
it. How many clinics for the study
and relief of disease might be estab-
l.Shed out of such perpetual fund.-
How many babies might be given
proper food and care on $4,000 q
year!

Responsibility on Republicans.

The conflicting claims respecting

Republicans are nowise relieved of re-

American Red Cross
Has Given Russia
$14, 100000 Supplies

Washington. Oct. 3i.-Fourteen mil
lion dollars. covering the costs of dis
tribution of articles ranging from
atuo-ambulances to safety pins. have
been expended by the American Red
Cross in its relief work in Russia, ac-
cording to figures taken from the
ganization and made public today at
headquarters here.
Service was extended to millions
of men. women and children and
ranged from hospital care for the sick
to food and clothing for the starving
and i'll clad. The work was carried on
through commissions sent to Siberia
Western Russia, Southern Russia and
the Baltic States. a total of 1867 per-
sons including sos Americans were
employed and 10000 different articles
were distributed free of cost. The
commissions operated sanitary trains
with total of 75 cars, and equipped
with $40 beds with a capacity of 1850
patients. Anti-typhus trains operat-
ed by the commissions Travelled IL 900
miles. furnishing preventative baths
to 1885, persons. disinfection for
100000 and issuing 100000 clean gar
ments. in Siberia alone Red Cross
trains distributed 5000 tons of supplies
and Is hospitals with total of $3.50
beds were operated.
One of the most difficult tasks of
the organization. according to- the re-
port was in helping the people Of
Esthonia where there was no amhu-
lance service and very little in the way
OF hospitals when the Americans ar
rived. The army was in retreat and
disorganized and the combined force
Of soldiers and civilians to the number
OF 10000 was described as a hungry
suffering. panic-stricken mob. In De-
cember typhus broke out and for
months the Red Cross workers tough,
the disease amid great difficulties.
At one time thu dead were piled in
the corners of the rooms with the
sick and no effort at decent burial
was made. In a hospital at Reyal
consisting Of a single barrack with $50
beds in one room. there were 500
deaths in one week. Thousands Of
cases were treated. and with only the

What the Railroads Are Doing
Complaints respecting lack Of rail-

resulting restrictions of business
doubtless have some basis in fact; :
nevertheless recognition should be

made since the roads were returned

From statistics compiled by the
Interstate Commission it is learned
that even last July when the effects
Of the switchmen's strike were sim
felt. the railway handled more BUSH
ness than was done in any previous
July. The Railway Age predicts that
the amount Of freight handed in 1920
win exceed that Of any previous year;
that tho number OF, cars loaded con-
tinues to increase. week by week.
