Issue Forced on COmmIsAlOn.

A number of circumstances are
said to have contributed to forcing
the fight TO an issue. The New York
State boxing commission has been
none too friendly toward Colored box
ers and has prohibited mixed matches.
thus giving Colored boxers no chance
against the titles or big purses battl-
ed for the white boys. But a hard po-
litical battle is in sight and 1t is ruI
mored that the political wiseacres ad-
vised the boxing commission to be a
bit more liberal in ia altitude. Gov
ernor Miller stated that the entire
matter was in the commissions hands.
and that he had no objection of his
own to mixed matches.
Putting the bout off for a year has
it's disadvantages many followers of
the game feel. First Wills. whom
most Colored fight experts feel Is
hardly a match for Dempsey because
Of the formers far greater age. will
be still older. Second. opportunity
will be given for the politicians to
switch their position. In the mean
time, the attention of the sporting
world will be on Harry Wills, the
modest gentlemanly fighter who is to
have his chance for a place in the
sun.

PREVENTING CRIME

THERE is a bill before Congress
which is intended to make it easier
for good citizens to own revolvers
and more difficult for criminals to
get hold of them. It is proposed to
limit the sale of these weapons to
persons known to the dealers to be
reputable citizens, to make it per-
missable and easy for good citizens
to go armed and to make the PEN
atty for all sorts of crime heavier
and cumulative if the criminal has a
revolver in his possession at the
time. The measure proposed as
a model for state enactment on the
subject.
But why have revolvers at all?
If bill could be passed prohibit
ing the manufacture and sale of re-
volvers and revolver ammunition, and
prohibiting their use except in the
hands of officers of the law, then
the problem would be solved.
Ninety percent of all the hold-ups
of the country are committed with
the revolver nthe hands of the Grim
inal. The revolver is weapon that
can easily be concealed It would
be dangerous for a criminal to go
about with bigger gun in his hands
for he would Immediately be detected
by officers who could cause him to
give an account of himself and his
reasons for carrying a gun. But
with the revolver he can keep it con-
cealed.
Wipe out the use of the revolver
altogether and prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of its ammunition
and let the government buy out the
stocks of revolvers and revolver cart
ridges row in the hands of retailers
and manufacturers so that it would
be impossible to buy these weapons
and ammunition and the problem of
holdups with a revolver would soon
be solved.
Making it easier for citizens to
buy revolvers would not solve the
problem of holdups. 1t would pro-
badly suit the manufacturers of
firearms but it would not decrease
crime, but would tend to increase it.
There is no good reason that can
be advanced why person should
carry revolver at all. To wipe
out the manufacture and sale of re-
volvers and revolver ammunition
would do more to decrease the num-
Der of holdups.

WASHINGTON LETTER
SHIP SUBSIDY
By J. E. Jones.

The ship subsidy bill will be the
backbone of the legislative program
in the House of Representative dur
ing the coming weeks. Members of
Congress had their way prior to
election. 1t is now stated at the
White House that the power of the
Administration has been enlisted in
support of the ship subsidy, and
despite all opposition, preferential
right are demanded for the bill in
the House. What the fate of the
measure will be no one can tell; but
in some of the states good deal of
attention was given to this subject
during the campaign, and the bur-
den of talk in a number of the "pro-
gressive" states of the middle west
indicated tremendous opposition.
There are political prophets and sons
of prophets in~Washington, and their
predictions are freely given with
reference to all political topics. These
Wise Acres forsee defeat or equal
ify," or doubtful" when the fate
of ship subsidy is up.
The United States government is
operating very extensive shipping
business, and with not very good
success. Because it is constantly
running behind, it is proposed to sell
all ships, and to give certain bonus
es, or mail contracts, to private own
ers who will operate ships. A sub
sidy arranged in this manner will be
as expensive for the government as
the payment of the present losses in
public operation. The hope of sue
cess for the subsidy scheme is that
private ownership will develope
great export and import business .tha'
will result to the benefit of the
United States. Members of the Ad-
ministration point out that the gov
eminent cannot use competitive me-
thods that are essential to getting d
full share of business for United
States ships; and the many restric-
tions, including the seamen's wage
laws, prohibition, etc., are indicated
as placing the present method of ship
operation to a distinct disadvantage
as compared with private operation
The ship subsidy legislation natur-
ally originates in the House, because
that branch of Congress has the first
say regarding bills freighted with ap-

TWO FIRES

About this time of year, especially
when fuel is scarce and high, which
by some strange coincidence often
happens to be the case, it is GUS
tomary for certain people with the
best intentions in the world to hand
out some very bad advice on the sub
ject of saving fuel by making houses
as nearly as possible air tight.
Most modern houses, especially if
well-made and fitted with storm doors
and windows, keep out too much air
anyway without any special stuffing
up of cracks or other attempts to
bring about state of air. tightness.
You can keep a thermometer warmer
with given amount of fuel in an
air. tight house, but not a human be-
ing.
1t is a historical fact that people
in this country did not begin to de-
mand a winter temperature indoors
of seventy-fve or eighty degrees I'M
| I'll they had shut out the fresh air
pretty effectively. 1t is also fact
that in countries where the houses
are not tightly shut up in the winter
time as in England, lower tempera-
lures are satisfactory, while where
they are next thing to Theoretically
sealed as in Russia, very high indoor
temperatures are maintained
The advice to make your house
more nearly air tight is based upon
number Of misconceptions, chief
ly that the comfort of a room de-
ponds upon the temperature shown
by the thermometer and that 1t is
external heat from sun or heating
appliance which keeps the body
warm.
The body is kept warm by two
fires, the more important Of which
is the internal, vital fire. Stuffing
up the cracks of the house is shut
ting down the damper on the fire. And
when the bodily fire is damped off it
takes a hotter fire in the furnace to
keep the body approximately COM

task of any one nation of Europe,
enforcing prohibition with one ma
tionaity, would be infinitely easier
than our. task in Wisconsin.
We are grateful to the common
Father Of All for the blessings of
prohibition. We wish to show our
gratitude to God by serving and
blessing our fellow men and brothers
everywhere. We believe that the
most pleasant way in which they can
receive the message would be by the
word of their own children. We
beg you to come and be our guests

house up tight has to burn more coal
to keep comfortable than the one
who doesn't simply because he feels
chilly if he doesn't have an indoor

were reasonable amount of pure
moist air getting to him from out
