A HallucinatiOn Or Effects from
Poor "MoOn"-Which?

The Blanchardville Blade of last
week gave false credit to their "Gink
Fowler" Rodney Rice for Knockout
in the fight staged at Hollandale on
the 18th of March. They also stated
in this article that their Rodney has
mastered the science of boxing and is
a coming champion. Think of it.
I'll bet Tex Richard don't know any
thing about him.
This article is merely a comment
on both fighters by man who knows
boxing and is neutral as far as any
fight is concerned, and who happened
to be at the socalled fight. In the
first place Tonkins Of Mineral Point,
was not knocked out. That statement
was a nice dream of one who lost his
bet on awfully poor judgment and a
bum fighter To see Rodney get in
the ring, one would think he was try
ing to hold down position in a
nickle or dime vaudeville act Back
in the stone ages he would have look
ed pretty fair on the side lines. In
asmuch as science is concerned, there
was never a dictionary printed con-
tanning that word with the definition
meaning anything near what Rice
has. In short, this boy Rice will
never make fighter if he trains all
his life and he lives as long as the
Capitol will be at Washington. Young
Tonkin almost knocked him for
row of Chinese pagodas and three
miles of railroad ticket in the first
and second rounds and in the third
round he fOuled Tonkin in the way of
hitting him when he wasn't on his
feet; but for clean fighting Tonkin
had him Outclassed in that round also
It would take at least three like
Young Rice to give TOnkin even a
slight thrill and then, coming out in
a newspaper and claiming a knock
out for a box-fghter who shows no
science and not the least strength.
Bring 'em another drink. That's a
hallucination or bad effects from
drinking poor moon"
T. C. TONKIN.

SENATOR BORAH
To PROBE STRIKE
Takes Direct Issue With PreSI-
dent on Coal Situation.
SAYS STRIKE AN EMERGENCY
Idaho Scion Declares Threatened
Wakout Was a Public Menace
Ten Days Ago-Hints at
Government Ownership.

Washington, April 3.-Senator b.
rah took direct issue with President
Harding's attitude that the coal strike
has not yet become a public emer-
gency. He declared that it became a
public emergency ten days ago and
that he will find out what is at the
bottom Of it and seek d basis of arbi-
tration.
The Idaho senator conferred with
President John L. Lewis of the United
Mine Workers, leader Of the strike,
who is in Washington. BOrah heard
the operators side Saturday in con-
ferences with J. D. A. Morrow, vice
president of the National Coal associ-
alton
Lewis will present the miners side
of the strike to congress through the
house labor committee, in session on
Congressman BANDS bill calling for
an investigation of the coal industry.
Lewis and Borah. at present the two
foremost figures in the strike situa-
ton, are Strikingly similar in personal
appearance. Both are direct in man
ner, stocky and vigorous physically.
and both wear heavy shocks of hair in
Western plainsman style
Gompers and Lewis United.
At the last convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor Lewis op-
posed Samuel Gompers for the presi-
dency. They are united in the pres
ent strike, the greatest in the history
Of organized labor.
Borah, a Republican, a member of
President Harding's party, disagrees
with the Presidents position that the
government should not try to arbi-
trate now but should await further
developments, and he is going over
the Presidents head in characteristic
BOrah style.
II do not think that the public
knows fully what the coal strike is
about said Senator Borah. II >ex-
pect to confer with President Lewis
Of the United Mine Workers with a
view to finding out and to ascertain
whether there is not a basis for arbi-
tratiOn.
II do not agree that the strike Of
more than half million coal miners
is not public emergency. 1t became
a public emergency ten days ago, and
means must be found to end the strike
before the situation becomes more
serious than it already u.s."
May Mean Public Ownership.
In a statement Senator Borah de-
clared that eff the coal industry is not
reorganized in the interest Of the pub
lic-then it will be up to the public to
try the experiment of public owner
ship"
President Harding, Secretary of La
Dor Davis, Attorney General Daugher-
ty, Secretary of War Weeks and other
officials of the administration con-
cerned with the strike continue to sit
tight.
A statement is expected from At
torney General Daugherty, and one
perhaps from Secretary Davis No
further word is expected from the

In the struggle for the Sepakership
when the Republicans were again re-
stored to power, Mann lost to Gillett,
but became chairman of the commit
tee on committees, power equal to, II
not greater than that Of Speaker. His
friends may well say that he grasped
for shadows and achieved the sub
stance. Mann would have been happy
in the Speakership, but the exigencies
of compromise precluded that honor
for him. With respect to frustrated po-
litical ambitions he may be likened 70
Clay, Calhoun, Webster, Blaine, and
Reed, and while he may not have been
the equal of those men when it came
to the applause of listening senates
to command he was their superior as
a tactician and a master of legislative
detail
mo one who studies Manns career
in the House will dispute his great
ness. AS stated by the Associated
Press. in announcing his death: In
the words of friend and foe Mr.. Mann
was the best informed man on the de-
tails of government that ever sat in
the halls of Congress- After all, what
finer tribute could a public servant
seek and find?"

premature, but so sincerely was he

against the whole bill because paper

AND THEN-WHAT THEM

Iomorrows and tomorrows stretch a

Unbroken line of shore; but as the
sea
Will stealthily fret and gnaw the
land and
Devour it grain by grain, SO day by day
Times restless waters lay the sand
away,
Until the shrinking isle of life where
we
Had pitched our tent, wholly en-
quilted shall be,
And swept far out into eternity,
Some morn, some noon some night
we may not say
Just how, or whom or where! And
then--what then?
. Oh cry unanswered still by mortal
ken!
This only may We know-how far and
wide
That precious dust be carried by the

Close gathered in our Fathers loving

And made to build again-somehow-

Another Isle of Life, divinely fair!
