Virginia Wants No Glass"

is Il manly, courageous statement that
L Representative Woods has given ont re-
viewing the battle for congressional honors
in the Sixth Virginia District, where his re-
turn TO a seat in the House is being opposed
lay Mir. poak, nominally a Republican,. but,
"a Mr.. Woods asserts, really a NOnpartisan
League candidate, who is using tho Repub-
lican cloak to attract to his support organ
lied labor and every element to which lie
can make Il class appeal.
Virginia has no place for nor patience
With class rule, whether it travels under the
naine of The Nonpartisan League or any
other that its proponents may select. Tho
Sixth District is the only one in Virginia
where such an issue is sharply drawn. and
the majority by which Mr.. Woods will be
returned to his seat should be so over
whelming that future attempts along sim
liar lines will be discouraged.
Mr.. Doak, the combination Republican,
Labor candidate, Is not in sympathy with
the Republican party platform, as it has
been before stated in these columns. lie is
an enemy OF the Esch-Cummins law and an
ardent prepayment Of the discreditcd Plumb
plan. by which the railroads would be taken
from their owners and turned over to the
workers. In conducting his campaign he
has had assistance from sources closely
akin, II not identical, with Socialist head
quarters. and in his appeals to class con-
sc!ousncSs' the real issues Of the campaign
have been ignored. 1t has been strictly a
class fight localized in the Sixth District.
Bat. as Mr.. Woods says, no one ever has
been able TO fulhll a promise OF delivering
the labor vote 10 any candidate, and the
loyal labor vote, organized and morgan
lied. Of the district will resent "instruc-
tons as TO how TO mark its ballot. Hon
est labor, and that includes most Of IL, de-
cries such class appeal as un-Amcrican, and
On Tuesday it will vote as it always has
voted, for men and issues as IL judges their
merits.

KING GEO. HAS GIVEN $500 TO
 OLYMPIC FUND

New York. Feb. liking George has made the first definite move to start fund to defray the expenses of the British athletes to the O1ym pic Games at Antwerp by a contribution of $500, and 1t is expected that the move will be followed by other subscriptions in the near future.
 It has always been the custom that when the ruler heads anything in England the aristocracy follows, and this means that the athletic team will have plenty of money in due course. For some time past there has been considerable discussion in England about the probable source of money for the athletic expenses. as 1t was thught that not less than $20o,000
 would be needed for the Olympic out | fit, but when the situation simmered ,, out 1t was found that less than half i the sum would be sufficient.
 [ The Amateur Swimming Associa- l ton of England has announced that it
 has a fund of $5,000 set aside for the purpose of sending it's best swimmers l and water polo players to Belgium. | Even thus early a plan of campaign 1 has been mapped out by the swim
 mers and only the very best men will
 have places and the teams and their
 amateur status will have to be with out question. A string of women l swimmers will also be trained and
 they will have to undergo the same rigid routine as the men.

JIMMY WILDE
 HAS CLEANED UP FORTUNE IN U. s,

New York, Feb. 14.-America cer- tainly is proving the promised land for Jimmy Wilde. Despite the defeat match in America Jimmy has been a big attraction, and in two months on this side of the pond he has cleaned up more money than he ever made in two years fighting abroad. Bri- tons little midget will draw down $s,000 for boxing Mickey Russell at the Arena A. C., Jersey City, and his coming fight with Frankie Mason in the West will increase his bank roll by S1o.o0o.
 It is no wonder that the little fel- low snilingfy exclaimed this morn ing, My word! By the time I leave H'america I'll ave enough money tc rent a suite in the bloomin' royal
 palace"
 Wilde without a doubt has made more money with his fists than any other boxer of his inches and ounces. His friends say he is worthy of it, because he is the greatest little man of his poundage that ever drew on a glove. There is such little call for flyweight competition in this country that America is shy of midget mater country in fact, Wilde almost invar- : iably has to give away weight to ob- 1 tain matches. Jimmy is such a mas 1 terly little boxer that he generally 1 gives away a licking with the weight
