HURTING
THE BOXING GAME

According to the Helena RECORD
Herald there was much dissatisfaction
felt over the outcome Of the mar
event of a series of professional box
| ing contests held in the capital city
during the state fair. The principal
match was between Monk" Fowler
Of New Orleans and "Puggy" Morton
Of Spokane, which resulted in the
Louisiana man being given the fight
on foul in the second round. The
Helena paper registers its disgust ov'
er the termination of this battle when
it says: Decisions on fouls are an
abomination to lovers Of the box fight;
annoy, disgust and turn them away
from the sport to poetry, or something
more agreeable, and kill the game
tests in this state says the Butte
to it that the spectators are given
good exhibitions of the manly art.
The thing which killed off this sport
in Montana once before was in large
part the disgust which the followers
of the squared circle felt as the re-
suit of a number of fake fights that
they were given. Actually, the fight
fans are the first to turn against pro-
fessional boxing when they do not
get square deal"
Most of the trouble" says the
Havre Promoter, comes from out
siders; men who are in the game TOR
coin and not for sport. Too many
high priced pugs are being imported.
They come high and the results are
none too satisfying. If the boxing
commissions and the promoters would
carry out the law, as it was intended
according to explanations made by its
champions in the legislature, put on
local talent instead of the. imported
stuff, thereby get bouts on the square
the sport would be popularized. but
the way it has been run it cannot but
be hurt in the minds of the public.
There is plenty of good local talent in
Montana to satisfy the desires OF the
soldier boys and other fellows for
real red blooded sport. It the pro-
moters have the future of the game
at heart they will try out the home
boys"
That the row about the Fowler
Morton fight may have started in the
press box is intimated by the Helena
indie pendent, competitor of the RECORD.

quoted. The Independent says: AT
the little Thursday evening game IN
the Shrine temple one crowd Of news

Talk About
THE CASE
OF PROFESSOR FISHER

Professor Arthur Fisher, q member
| of the law department faculty of the
state university at Missoula, has been
given a years "leave Of absence" with
pay, at the end of which time his con-
| tract with the university will have ex.
pired, and it is understood that he will
not be re-engaged by the state board
of education. Some weeks ago, the
American Legion of Montana demanded
Mr.. Fishers dismissal by the state
board of education because Of his
alleged shady war record, which ac-
cording to press reports, shows that
he was Conscientious objector and
| that he was active in ill-timed peace
meetings and that he finally secured
desk job during the period of the war
with the bureau of war risk insurance
in Washington. Further objections to
Mr.. Fisher as a college professor were
his alleged activities as contributor,
both of money and of articles, to the
New Northwest, socalled radical
newspaper in Missoula. .

Of education has practically said: We

fellow, but we now give notice to the
people of this state, that he Is unit

In commenting upon the fact that
Judge Sanner of Butte, who is q meni-
Der of the state board Of education,
voted against granting Professor Fish
er a years leave of absence because
the people Of the state are entitled to
an explanation as to why Fisher is Kept
on full pay, the Butte Miner says:
From this newspapers viewpoint, that
was a most reasonable stand to take,
for if this man has worn out his use
fulness at the university, which ap-
pears self evident, why keep him for
year upon the payroll without rem
dering any service to the state. .of

promises, this was not a logical one,
but the main object of severing FRO.
lessor Fisher from the teaching staff
Of the university was accomplished"
From the Great Falls Leader it is
learned that: "Mr. Fisher is young
man whose parents are rated as worth
millions. and who has been educated
until he would seem to have become
top heavy upon certain fundamentals:
Preaching progressive democracy Of
the high brow order, Mr.. Fisher would
seem to learn far to radical socialism,
and his ideas have in them the microbes
Of which disloyalty are born. That
each man should decide personally,
when his country goes to wab as to
whether the war is the kind which he
feels justified in backing, is one of the
ideas of Mr. Fisher, as given out to
the state board and one need go. no
further than that--the man who does
not stand ready to back the stars and
stripes at the battle front without

Washington, D. c., Sept. 10.-Ihis
fall season when five or six million
Americans will shoulder their guns
and 90 hunting, when many thousands
Yill make money as guides and hosts
to sportsmen, and many millions who
do not 60 afield will encounter the
wild things on the dinner plate, is be-
ing used by sportsmen's organizations
outdoor publications and other inter
ested parties to push campaign for
permanent system Of game protec-
ton by game sanctuaries.
The situation in this country is that
wild fowl and other migratory. birds
have been increasing greatly in the
eral law giving them protection
throughout their journeys up and
down the continent, but the protection
Of our other game is by no means ade-
quate. It is true that many states
have improved their game laws, but
others are hopelessly lax. Some
species of game are increasing in some
places, but on the whole, game other
than migratory birds is barely holding
it's own, while some valuable species
are threatened with determination.
Meanwhile the army of hunters grows
every year.
This decreased game supply is sheer
waste. The country could support
perhaps three or four times as much
game as it does. That would mean
Just three or four times as much food
and sport as we now get from our wild
lands. Not to bring them to the high
est state of productivity by proper, re-
striction now is as foolish as picking
the fruit before it is ripe: and the
thing is especially worth doing because
the hunting in this country can never
be monopolized by wealthy rev, put
must always remain source OF neaitn,
pleasure and food for all the people.
The great and growing areas which are
included in national and state parks
and forest reserves insure this.
Tho Plan Proposed.
The plan now being urged is the Gre
alton Of game sanctuarles IN these Tor
est reserves, where hunting will be
prohibited, predatory animals destroyed
and game propagated. From these
sanctuaries game will naturally over
flow the surrounding country, making
of the forest reserve in which it is sit
uated a well stocked public shooting
ground. In addition to this, game
propagated in the sanctuaries could be
shipped to all parts OF the state.
Several bills have been introduced in
the house and senate providing for such
sanctuaries. They all provide that the
state legislature must concur in the
setting aside Of sanctuary areas, since
the game on these areas belongs to the
state. So there is no transgression Of
states rights in Ahis provision.
1t may seem that this measure would
benefit chiefly the west, where most of
the forest reserves are, but as mat
ter of fact, including the forest lands
in the east acquired by the government
under the act Of 1911, there are now
forest reserves in all except few Of
the north central states. New Hamp-
shire, PENNSYLVANIA, Virginia, Tennes-
see, North Carolina, Georgia. Alabama,
Arkansas and Florida now all have ma
tional forest areas in them. Thus a
string of game sanctuaries could be
established all up and down the At
lantic coast. In the country surround
ing them would be found the very best

THE MILLENNIUM DIDN'T COME,

About a year ago two men IN Eka-
laka, Democrat and Republican,
were discussing the presidential cam
paign then in full swing. The Demo-
crat said, "Of course any man who
has any sense knows that the big end
of the dope put out in political cam
paign is pure bunk. Now, suppose
the election is held and there Is no
newspaper, telegraph Or telephone to
tell us who is elected. We are to
judge by our own business exper-
fence and the way business is in gen
eral. Do you think we could tell who
was elected?" The Republican an
swered: well, putting it that way. |
don't know that any Of Us could tell.
One day last week these two men met
again. and the Democrat said, You
remember our conversation last fall
about it being a difficult matter to
tell who was elected president II one
had to Judge by the general condition
Of business throughout the country.
Judging by the present business con-
ditions, who do you think was elect:
ed?" ut must have been Cox" said
the Republican. sadly, but no mp

THE WHEAT MARKET

IT is estimated that Montana
raised about twenty-five mil.
lion bushels of wheat this year,
and that its rapid sale will bring
about twenty-five million dollars
into the state from the east. It is
not unimportant from a Montana
standpoint. It will permit some in
dividuals and some country banks
to ease up by paying their debts.
But that quantity of wheat is only
a drop in the bucket when it is con-
sidered as contribution to the
wheat market Of the world. A score
Of countries in the world are cred
tied with harvesting nearly two
billion and half bushels Of wheat
in 1921 and that is slight increase
over the record for 1920. So far
as our own state is concerned the
wheat growers of Montana are not
likely to hold their wheat for high
er prices this year because as rule
they are so pressed for money that
they cannot afford to hold any cash
resource back. But at this time
when so many grain farmers are
taking their crops to market it
will be Of interest to them to read
literature Of crop reports on a
world scale as collected at Rome,
Washington, London and other
sources. The Wall Street Journal
has recently collected these reports
in condensed form and as their view
point is detached, and deals with
world wide demand and supply it
may interest the readers of The
Tribune to read them. 1t says:
That the worlds wheat situation
is acute though not dangerous seems
to be the opinion of the depart
ment of agriculture. In comment
ing on data compiled by the bureau
of markets and crop estimates the
department says:
Prospects for the worlds
wheat supply, while not 50
satisfactory as was expected
during the first part Of the cur
rent season, show at the pres
ent time no cause for serious
alarm
Reports Of the international In
stitute of Agriculture are less OPP
timistic than few weeks ago. while
Broomhalrs estimates give no room
for hope for any wide margin Of
supplies over demand. The reports
from these authorities lead to the
conclusion that with favorable
weather in Argentina and Austria
liza there will be sufficient wheat to
meet the world needs.

from ignorance and the sloppy wor

from ignorance and the sloppy work
Of some book reviewer who glanc.
ed over its pages and did not read
them fully. The story itself IL all
right as story, but, if Mr.. Box had
keener newspaper sense, he might
we'll have doubted its accuracy and
left it out of his book. As Mr..
Box printed it it bears on its face
several earmarks Of the fake story
In the first place there never was
a time in the printing business
when a copy Of the Bible could be
printed for eight cents without
illustrations, but with colored
plates Of chocolate angels in it the
price gives the story away as sure
ly untruthful. It is possible that
such an edition Of the Holy Scrip
lures has been printed for circula-
ton among colored people at some
time, but we very much doubt It.
Certainly such an edition Of the
Bible would be curiosity, and we
never saw one or knew Of anyone
who possessed one. So when Mr..
Book told the story in his book it is
our conviction that he merely gave
new lease Of life to a current fake
story, for we have heard it before.
It had some currency about half a
century ago. .......
There have been some very cheap
editions of the Bible gotten out.
We have seen an edition that sold
for twenty-five cents, but we sus-
pect that it may have been sold for
less than cost because it was is
sued by Bible publishing house
that has received large requests
by way of subsidy. Even in the
face Of increased cost of paper,
printing and binding, it is surpris-
ing how cheaply copy Of the Bible
we'll printed and bound can be OBJ
tanned today. And that is true be-
cause of the enormous demand for
it. No other book ever printed
has so large a circulation. It is
"the best seller" of generations in
stead of a day or a year, and we
have recently read somewhere that
the demand for it is increasing of
late years.
We do not wonder that Mr.. Box
was mad at the libel Of the Satur-
day Review, but we think he was
wise to write letter to the London
Times about it instead Of bringing
a libel suit against the Saturday
Review. Besides he was slightly to
blame himself for printing that fake
story about the colored mans Bible
with the chocolate colored angels.
1t was pretty raw.
