STOP LOCAL PRIZE FIGHTS

IF BOXING CONTESTS, or prize fights, as you choose to label them
cannot be conducted in Albuquerque without accompanying dis
orders and near riots; IL these contests cannot be lifted out of the
third or fourth class and put upon the basis of clean sport and ex
hibhions Of sportsmanlike skill, then the eight game should be ter
minated in Albuquerque and terminated at once. 1t appears that
these bad features OF the fight business cannot be eliminated when
third or fourth class boxers are engaged, and we believe that the city
commission, which has the power, should Immediately pass an ordi
nance to stop, or at least, to carefully regulate prize fighting or boxing
contests for which an admission is charged.

EMPEROR FRIEND OF L0WLy
Napoleon III Declared to Have Had
Genuine Regard for the Humber
Of His Subjects

The friendly feeling Of Napoleon III
for the toilers is dwelt upon by Agnes
Carey in her IAN Empress in Exile, !"
in the Century magazine, and she
gives as her authority Empress Eu-
genie, wife of the last of the en-
perors. whatever his failings to-
ward her had been," the author says,
"she professed warm admiration Of
his love of hard work, his pluck and
his great kindness Of heart and
thoughtfuIness for every one. The
emperor genuinely loved the poor and
humble among his subjects. with no
thought of policy. He was too good
and generous for his peoples under
standing. Had he been tyrannical
and made use of them and trampled
them down like some other sovereigns,
they would have behaved better to-
ward him, she (Eugenie) said.
Napoleon was dreamer and
spent much of his time to the serious
thinking out of schemes for the bene-
fit of his people, and all mankind.
His life's ambition was to better their
lot. He had great magnetism, espe-
cially with the working classes. The
empress charmed every stranger. but
the emperor was really more personal
ly and deeply loved by his encourage
than was his consOrt."
