boxing and prize-fighting have
just gained some Roadway in Italy.
As a result, embryonic sporting writ
ers are being born whose efforts for
flowery descriptions eclipse eve the,
vernacular of American sporting
columns. Here is the report Of a
prize-fight from one of the provincial
papers:
There was vivacious animation in
the impatient crowd when there ap-
peared on the scene what seemed to
be two gun caissons that had Just
come out of battle. They were scan
tily attired, so much so that they
nearly froze to the teeth. Then there
was sounded a fanfare of trumpets
right into the ears of the waiting
crowd and ii was as If the wrath of
God ha dbeen let loose.
"Then there were the sporting
bloods who frothed at the mouth be-
cause the pubic was Ignorant or the
beauty and passion of the sport and
because the spectators did not take
the sport seriously. This delicious
sport-as the English call it, the
manly art of self-defense'-was pro-
hibited before the war. But then,
the war was fought for liberty and
right, at least, the right to enjoy
oneself ever at the risk of others
losing their lives.
"The two ruffians were placed in
the ring "a cord which separates
them from the crowd. After some
preliminaries, the two began to
launch blows at one another--a truly
intellectual amusement to watch.
One Of the two. by virtue of his being
lightweight champion. gave the other

FEDERAL TRADES BOD !
ATTACKED IN BITE R
TE RMS BY REPUBLICAN
PRES|DENT T|AL TIM Be R

Philadelphia, Jan. 29.--An attack on
the federal trade commission was
made before the Philadelphia Cham
ber Of Commerce yesterday by Mich
olas Murray Butler, president of Co
lumbia University a.ld an aspirant for
the Republican nomination for presi'
dent.
Discussing the necessity Of clear
ing away uncertainties In public pol
icy THAI hamper business, he said;
"Wc have at the present time a fed
cral trade commission appointed p1r
suant tn the provisions Of statute
which might easily be so administer
ed as to do great good. The Federal
Trade Commission has, however, ut
terly misconstrued its proper func-
tions and has preferred to persecuEe
business rather than to protect aul
develop it, The cheaply Won applause
which Is sure to follow the violent
denunciation OF somebody or sonle-
thing for an alleged wrong has been
preferred to the much more solid
and lasting approval of an intelligent
people that would follow upon con-
Htructve acts which should ndiottc
how the business Of the country
might be better and more wisely 1c'
vclopel.
1T is little short Of pathetic, after
some of the best brains in the nation
have organized and set on foot a
great Industrial undertaking which
engages the cooperation of thou
sands Of men and women, reduces ,ha
cost Of production OF some staple
article, and begins 10 extend Amcrictn
trade into new lands, to find thaun
summarily brought to book as crln
inals by the Attorney General of thc
tinted States or by the United stat 's
District Attorney in some judicial
district.
THE course Of wisdom and Of prog
ress would be for the Commission to
hear the plans of those who propose
TO develop an undertaking of Sai'
sort; to point out in advance what
would be considered Unfair bust
ness practices and what would not ;
to indicate the line whore monopoly
would bc held to begin, and which
therefore must not be crossed ana
then to send the new undertaking on
its way with the fun knowledge and
cooperation OF the Federal Trade
Commission. with which, thereafter
the undertaking should stand in the
closest possible relations"
Such policy by the commission
Dr.. Butler said, would simply repeat
in the field Of industry the precise
policy which the government has FOL-
lowed with extraordinary success IN
tho case of National Banks.
Besides doubt as to what mlJnt
