PRIZE FIGHT CRUSADE ON.

The International Reform Bureau, with head quarters Washington, D. C., has opened cam paign against prize fighting. The Bureau has it's superintendent Dr. Wilbur F Crafts, famous blue Sunday" proponent whose activities in months have kept him much in the limeght in Eastern cities.
 In two pamphlets issued recently by the Bureau, opinions of the late Theodore Roosevelt, Dr. John Roach Straton, Pastor of Calvary Baptist Church. New York Dr. Crafts and others quoted in the fight against the prize fight. The Carpenter Dempsey fight in Jersey City July g. is characterized by Dr. Straon moral carbunce," and the history of at tempts to stop the fight together with synopsis of former judicial decisions the subject of prize fights is given.
 The opinions of the Y. M. c. A., the Salvation Army, and the Methodist and Roman Catholic churches prize fights given and the history of other crusades against prize fighting is related The object of the present attack is said by the Bureau to be to drive pugsm back to the limbo of crimes against civilization and restore amateur boxing, such is ap proved by the American Athletic Unon."
 No other athletic sport has been the subject of such prolific legislation in years has prize fighting. Abuses of the ring game, allowed by those connected herewith and sometimes abetted by them, resulted in the passage of stringent legislation in almost all states several years which for time practically killed the game. Although coming back 1t is being restricted and is under the supervision of boxing commissions whose duty it is to keep the sport clean Public interest in the fight. which was the eliminating event leading up the crusade, seems to have been widespread and ap- parently would indicate that Dr. Crafts and his workers will have hard time in gaining sufficient support to bansh the prize fight altogether

Drying Up the Sources.
(NeW York World.l


 An aggregate tax on personal incomes of $1,269,- 630104 collected for the year 1919, according the revised figures of the Bureau of Internal Reve Returns made by 5,332, 760 persons who reported net income of $19,859, 491448. New York; to be expected, bore the brunt of the burden paying $399 792,351, 31h per cent of the total. In this State 6S30S5 persons made returns of net income to the amount of $3,436343,179. Sixty-fve individuals in the country paid into the Treasury just under $100, ,000. 900. average of s1523,492 each
 Nearly s20,OO0,00 100000 of taxable personal in tome Truly a dazzling exhibit of national wealth But while looking this picture of prosperity it is well to remember that it is reflection of bygone conditions Can it be matched again. to say nothing of surpassing it?
 The question for Congress in particular to con- slider is whether the incometax for this year. with many of the former productive sources dried up. will come anywhere near equaling that of 1919 Shackng foreign trade. legslatng great indus try out of existence and delaying relief general business is not the way to increase income More than vague doubt exists to whether the abundant streams which gushed forth will repeat the process at the next summons. Certainly important problem faces the national lawmaking body than to prepare for the contingency of deficit of revenue from this ready source.

Navy to Rescue.

 The United States navy is to be called upon to aid in enforcing the eighteenth amendment.

 Certainly it is time that whiskey smuggling was checked, if the law is not to be accounted farce altogether But the task of dealing with the snug glers is not going to be easy, for Uncle Sans ships Too stringent laws, which declare beverages to be intoxicating which every knows so, and which prohibit the of mild alcoholic drinks medicine have reused opposition to the pro- hibitory regime that is easy quiet. This ex- cessive zeal has made the task of enforcement vastly more difficut-and 1t would not have been easy in any
 This must not be construed brief for the booze smugglers. Far from it. Booze running all most implies bribery of officials and invariably widely spread conspiracy in law breaking. It is moreover, form of awessness which opens the to crimes of violence But while there is noth- ing whatever to be said for the runners, is there much in favor of laws drastic and unreasonable that they the opposition of millions of people who otherwise are exemplary citizens?

Baruch Said to Have Financed, Institute
 Of Politics Meeting
(New York World.)


 The new Institute of Politics has been in session at Williams College Williamstown, Mass, since July 29 and will continue to meet, at inter- vals until Aug 27. The fundamental and highly important object of the institute is to aid in bringing to the American people an understanding of international relations in all their aspects - historical, political, social and economic. Scholars and states men of several nations and of in- ternational reputation have been the guests of the institute; some have delivered lectures; others will, that are freely open to all.
 The World is informed most credi- bly, that Bernard M. Baruch of this city readily offered to meet up to the sum of s1OO,OO0 the expenses which necessarily attach to an as- semblage of men who come from widely divergent points. MT. Baruch has been impressed for years with LuG luGd that Llt JIltH dflu WOilItH Ol America should comprehend fully the significance of their country's s present and future world relations. The necessity of this was emphas- ized to MT. Baruch by his service with the American commission to negotiate peace, as member of the Supreme Economic Council and as economic adviser to the American Peace Commission.
 In the endeavor to even further establish that The Worlds informa- ton is correct, a telegram was sent to Dr. Harry A. Garfield, President of Williams College. He answered :: "The name of the donor will be an- nounced at the dinner to our guests and members of the institute Fri day, August 23."
 In signed newspaper article on the institution, its purposes and it's organization into groups, President Garfield wrote:
 Among bankers and lawers, Geo. Foster Peabody, 5. Parmalee Prem tice and John Tatlock of New York have become regular members, and Bernard M. Baruch, John w. Davis and Thomas w. Lamont have ex- pressed the purpose to be present during a part of the session" .
 MT. Baruch, when asked at Sara toga Springs last night If he cared to comment upon the report, said he preferred that any statement on the subject should come from Presi- dent Garfield.
 Former President William Howard Taft, Honorary Chairman of the Board of Advisers of the institute, delivered an address at the opening meeting of the institute, the first he has made as Chief Justice of the United States. Viscount Bryce, who knows America so well, gave the first lecture on International Rela- tions of Old World States, including a Discussion of the Causes of Wars and Means of Averting Them"
 Other equally distinguished states men who have addressed the Insti- tute of Politics, or will be heard, are: Tommaso Tittoni, former Pre- mier of Italy; Prof. Achille Viallate, Baron Sergius A. Korff, Stephen Vanaretoff, former Bulgarian Min ister, and Count Paul Teleki.

BUILDER OF GREAT INDUSTRY DIES.

The death of Col Samuel Pomeroy Colt at Provi- dence, R. l., last Saturday marked the passing of bf the leading figures in the organization and elop- ment of the American rubber industry The develop ment of that industry in this country changed Col Colt from a successful lawyer to captain of in .dusry He the organizer the United States Rubber Company consolidation of numerous con cerns with combined capital of $75,OOO,OOO and ap 'proximatey 10000 employees in three states Massa chusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island.
 Colonel Colt, after years of service as a lawyer member of the Rhode Island Assembly and Attorney General of that state the possibilities of rubber and its modern development of the great in dusries in the world and undertook the study of its culture and manufacture.
 "The first rubber seen in America he
 once said, was brought by Yankee sea cap
 tains plying between Salem, Mass, and South
 American ports. They had idea that
 those Jumps of black gum of any par
 ticuar value; indeed, they often used them
 as ballast But about 1920, some forgotten :
 sailor took to Salem and Boston a specu-
 lation a number of rubber shoes made by
 tives along the Amazon People quickly dis
 covered that they kept the wet and
 crude as the shoes were there
 lively demand for them at $4 and $5 a pair
 The trouble with them, however,
 that they melted in summer and froze in win
 ter and it remained for to discover
 means to overcome this defect. Charles
 Goodyear of Connecticut, in 1S42 invented
 the process of vucanizing and this
 followed by the formation of several com
 pdhleS TOT the manufacture of rubber shoes
 A spirited and famous lawsuit grew of
 the Goodyear patents in which Daniel Web
 ster took side and Rufus Choate the
 other but Webster for Goodyear
 In 1888, Colonel Colt consolidated three rubber shoe factories and called them the National India Rubber Company. Four years later he anal gama ted these with other concerns under the name of the United States Rubber Company with capital stock of $5O,OOo,OOO and in 1905 this increased 50 per cent Originally its legal adviser, Colonel Colt be- President in and served in that capacity until 1918 when he became chairman of the Board of Directors Colonel Colt was director also in about 40 other organizations including banks, railroads, steamship companies
