Will wITNEss DIG MATCH
No Less Than Twenty-Five Audubon
Wrestling Fans VIII See Cad
dock in Action.

There Is one thing the critics of
Ed ("Strangler"D Lewis. the pres
ent heavyweight wrestling cham
pion cannot say about him.
Whether one likes to see him use
his deadlock or not. one must ad-
mire him for his willingness to
tackle all Of the legitimate chal-
lengers to his title. He takes them
on as fast az they come, but of
course he demands his guarantees
and his big per cent Of the gate re-
ceipts. That is naedral in this
money-mad age, however, and he
deserves no censure for getting all
he can in monetary way out OF his
championship.
There was nothing to compel
him to sign articles for match
with Earl Caddock on April 18th,
yet he agreed and Earl is prob
ably his most dangerous opponent.
He was not forced to meet John
Pesek, the coming Nebraska star,
in New York Monday night but he
not only agreed but also met the
Cornhusker heavyweight with his
best hold, the deadlock, barred.
Now there comes a report out of
the east that he has signed articles
to wrestle Stanislaus Zbyszko. the
elder of the two Polish wrestlers,
in q finish match In New York
within a few weeks. II there is
any grappler aside from Caddock
who has chance, to beat Lewis
right now, 1t is StAnislaus Zbyszko,
who since he, has regained his con-
dition Of old, bids fair to gain the
championship.
Lewis, however. has great conf
dence in his ability to beat oil of
the contenders. Since he has been
gaining. success with the bar ham,
merlock as well as with the head
lock he apparently believes he is
invincible. Whether he is or not
will be proved next Tuesday night
at the Coliseum In Des Moines when
Caddock will try to take his meas
ure.

A "BLow-oUT." NOT A BLow.UP

Washington, April 6-"Discuss-
ing the course Mr.. Lansing pursued
at the peace conference and after, a
friend of the league of nations idea
commends Lansing for not resign
ing when he found himself at direct
odds with President Wilson con-
corning the league" remarks the
Republican Publicity Association,
through its president, Hon. Jona-
than Bourne, Jr. Says the paper
to which we allude, Paramount to-
all was to have the treaty finally,
blow up and blow up the conference
at the same time
"There lies the chief trouble with
the league of snations advocates.
They regard that treaty. with the
league in it, as paramount to all
paramount to our own national
rights, interests and self-respect.
Mr.. Wilson declared when he went
to France the second time that de.
spite the respectful notice given him
by the senate, <he would bring back
the treaty with the league so close
ly interviewer in its provisions. that
the whole must be adopted. The
advocates Of the league backed him
up in that arbitrary and unreason-
able proposal, believing that mem
bers of the United States. senate
would make the supreme sacrifice
rather than reject the treaty with
the league covenant in IL. They be-
lieved that adoption of the league
was paramount to all and IL they
could get it woven into the peace
treaty, they could put it over regard
to Americans and how great the
sacrifice the> United States would be
called upon to make.
''But they found themselves out
OF harmony with American senti-
ment. The senate refused to ratify
the treaty with the league in Il, the
question was made the chief issue in,
the ensuing campaign, and the peo-
pie of the country endorsed the re-
publican, attitude by a plurality of
100000 and more.
Looking back over the record
of the league controversy, 1t seems
that Mr.. Lansing could
have rendered very great service
not only to, America but to the
world, II he had blown up at Paris,
had resigned and come home, giving
the people Of America the benefit
of his honest judgment on the
league question and the treaty in
general. II he had done that. there.
would have been such an awakening
among Americans as would have
made 1t Impossible to 60 through
with the scheme of the information
alists. and treaty would have been
promptly ratified, and the world
by this time be far on its way to
what constitutes a proper oc-
casion for blowing up is. of course,
always a matter of judgment. In
the nature of things, there must al
ways be some compromise upon
matters of minor detail. No two
men agree In all things, and, in or
der to get any results at all, they
must adjust their differences where
practicable, without sacrificing
principle. But the difference be-
tween Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Lansing
did not arise over minor details. 1t
went to the very foundation Of the
American independece.
n an issue such as that does not
furnish occasion for blowing up
then it is difficult to imagine any
circumstance that could warrant a
public official in resigning in order
to warn his countrymen OF impend-
ing danger to the nation"

Senate Killed Bill Remov-
ing Responsibility
From the Towns
ESTIMATED COST
WAS ENORMOUS
Opponents of Measure Said
1t Would Mean 100000
to 100000

While the Vermont House was WHie
ing for printing this morning, the Sen
ate put in a busy hour slaughterlng
House bills, including II. All, providing
that the state shall take over from the
towns and keep in repair all bridges
having a span of more than four feet
on state selected roads, and relieving
towns of any liability for damages oc
curing on such bridges. This measure
was passed by the House without dis.
cussion, although it is estimated that
il would cost the state from 100000 t.
$s0O,00O to put it into effect.
Senator Coburn tried in vain 90 get
through an amendment which would in.
clude only bridges on the patrol roads
of the state to be take over.
In opposing the bill, Senator Cady
said that il was roughly estimated that
there are $500 briGges in the state
which would come within the provis'
ions of this act. and he thought it was
rather late in the session to talk about
such an important change of policy.
Senator Sherburne opposed the bill
on the grounds that it was move to-
ward Capitalization. He thought the
towns should keep their bridge control
because they would then have more IN.
terest in having those bridges in good
shape He characterized the bill as "a
pernicious piece of legislation.
