REPUBLICA A. SUES
FOR ARMORY BOXING
Club Seeks to Compel Issuance
of License by State
Commission.
ny CHARLES F. MArnrsoN.

The question of professional boxing
in State armories was brought sharply
to the foreground yesterday through
legal action by the Republic A. A. TO
compel the State Athletic Commission
to permit that club TO hold bouts i'm
the armory of the 102d Regiment of
Engineers. Judge Robert s. Wagner
issued an order directing the members
of the commission 10 appear before
Justice McAvoy of the Supreme Court
next Monday and show cause why a
izandamus should not be issued.
John NJ. O'Connor. President OF the
Republic A. a., which held one set of
bouts at the Polo Grounds last month,
sets forth that the club had entered
into lease with Col. Frederick T..
Humphreys of, the 1O2d Regiment to
conduct bouts In the Armory, but that
Chairman William Muldoon had re-
fused to transfer the license from the
Polo Grounds to the armory. It is also
claimed that Acknowledgement ]. Les
lie Kincaid has issued an order on
January q. 1921, permitting boxing
and wrestling by professionals in the
armories
Armory Rent $4,000 n Year.
Col. Humphreys in an arridavit as
serts that boxing in the srTnories
would be desirable and that the rem
Ia. to be received from the Republic
4. A. would be $4,000 year
Up to the present time boxing in va
rious armories in this city has been
limited to members of the National
Guard. and the agreement between the
Republic A. a. and the 102d Regiment
is the first effort to lease armories to
outside promoters of boxing.
' Chairman Muldoon said last night
that so far as the legal action was
concerned the Commission would be
represented by the Attorney General
"The Commission is unalterably op-
posed to turning the armories into
boxing clubs" he declared, but If the
courts compel the commission to trans
fer the license of the Republic A. a. to
the 102d Regiment. then a license will
be issued to every armory in the State.
In my opinion this would have an in
furious effect on the sport and would
not be OF special advantage to the
armories or the military service Of the
State

Health Talks by DR.. Brady
Snlt for Headache.

Persons accustomed TO the daily use of
physics generally aware that an extra
ordinary dose OF salts Will relieve the head
ache associated with a costivc state Such
persons are easily convinced that the relief OF
the headache is due to the removal OF poison
Gus matter Of sorUe kind from the blood by
the purSative. SO widespread is this cratic
notion that many layman takes It for granted
that certain kinds of salts. or at any rate GER
tain mysterious connections. purify the blood -
and he spends many a good dollar on absurti-
tics purportinG TO do just that, which Is of no
Importance; but he also spends many days
and weeks tampcring with his health while
taking such corrections. which is OF great
Importance.
1t happens that the headache commonly oc-
curing with costivencss Is relieved by tho
salts long before the cathartic effect takes
p!ace-a fact which rather weakens the p!aus-
ible argument that the removal of any poison
GUS matter accounts for the relief of the
headache. This familiar fact also makes the
theory that such headache is due to any poi
son retained or absorbed into the blood very
questionable.
This and several other typos Of headache
are usually associated with IL not Directs;

skull. This does not mean that the sufferer

beneficial in practically all the ,nildcr forms
OF headache.
Persons who have chronic ncphritis (i,rirht's

called In tho pfst, and the mere existence
of IN agricultural bloc, which threatens to
jeopardzo tho Republican program in re-
speot to moro than one legislative commit
mont, hardly 3ustifies such an insinuation in
respect to tho motive back Of the calling OF
tho farm conference. AS this paper pointed
out several days ago. there Is the possibil-
Ivy of real good accruing from it. II it
docs find u solution that will bring present

tho administration Of President Harding will

ception which, realizing that it could be-
made means of accomplishing good, went
ahead and authorized it to be called, at
tho risk of imputation Of improper political
motive Certainly, the conference can do
no harm. If it brings about spirit of CO.
operation among all the related interests
mat VIII take part in it to the benefit of
agriculture, SO much the better. Naturally
the President Is Interested i'll creating senti-
ment that will react favorably on tho for
tunes or his party. II he can set in motion
influences that will aid in lifting agriculture
out OF its present plight, the good impress
sion created should not be begrudged for
the general good should be above party
jealousy.

Hiram johnson spcaks

THE fact that Senator Hiram johnson has
kent an open mind aud refruinad from
commenting OH tho four.power Pacific treaty
until he had thoroughly studied 1t and
reached definite conclusions rs to itR scope.
gives added significance to tho statement he
has Just made, In which he outspokenly
niigns himself with tho opponents OF tho
treaty. Like Senator Borah. the Senator
from California, has been q strong advocate
OF armament reduction. Ho believes that
the overwhelming sentiment OF tho American
people supports such lessenod reduction as
scmo relief from tho existing heavy burden
OF taxation. But" he says, because we
favor disarmament and would make any
sacrifice for peace, Is no reason why we
should accept anything which may be tend
cred IN the sacred name of peace or under
tho guiso OF disarmament" Then he pro-
ceeds to state that out of the secrecy of
the conference has come, first, IN unexpect-
ed treaty unrelated to the original pur-
pose of the gathering and unconnected in
reality with the limitation of ornaments
In other words, after careful analysis OF
tho treaty, Senator johnson has discovered
that the conference has undertaken to in
H!ct on the world "a horse of another color"
Carefully Disgusting that the treaty con-
tempiatcd anything more than guaranteeing
tho existing status quo OF tho Pacific islands
Senator Johnson attacks the report of Sena-
tor Lodge as to its scope as q deliberate
attempt ut deception, which succeeded to the
extent OF even fooling the President In
stead OF disarmament being contingent sole
~ on the guarantee for these islands, the
fact is disclosed by subsequent discussion
TIA; disarmament is based on the abroga-
tion of the EAnglo-Japanese alliance and the
substitution therefor of more powerful
four-power alliance TO defend tho homeland
OF Japan.
The Senator then proceeds to attack Ar
ticles l. and ii. OF the quadruple agreement:
Unless behind the treaty there is the power
10 enforce !. and the understanding that the
power shall be used 10 meet e4igencies of
the particular situation the instrument is
useless and futile elimination" The i'm
pOrtant question arising under the treaty as
signed, he says, is. Shall the United States.
either jointly with Great Britain and France
or separately, guarantee or underwrite Jap
an?" Bringing TO the support OF his posi-
ton the action of the American electorate
il! overwhelmingly indorsing the defeat of
the league OF nations, Article y OF which
provided for the use OF force to uphold the
agreement, he regards this attempt 10 fost
4 more obnoxious obligation. in q different
disguise upon this country as direct slap
in the face OF the popular verdict. The at
tack OF Senator Johnson on the treaty as
sures it will face rough time in the SEN
ate.

Giving the Law Black Eye

z NPOSuRE of graft and collision in con-
- nection with the enforcement OF prohi-
bition laws in New York again directs public
attention to the widespread loosencss among
officials charged with the duty OF making
the Volstcad act effective. Wholesale liGuor
Withdrawals, effected through false permits
took place i'll various parts OF the country
particularly in the East. during the period
preceding the Christmas holidays The fra
ternity OF bootleggers laid in plentiful
supply OF stuff supposed to be 100 per cent
IN all essential particulars. But the indict-
ments returned in New York do not arise
from a single raid or an isolated series OF
raids upon government warehouses;; they
arc based upon evidence of a continuing
well-estabished arrangement by which pub
lie officials and private enterprise are en-
rching themselves at the expense OF the Law
and the government II is matter OF COM
mon knowledge, moreover, that graft has
fixed its grip upon the enforcement ma
chinery in. many parts OF the country par
ticularly in the large centers
This widespread tendency toward corrup-
ton and toward a collapse OF respect for
law must be alarming to every person who
has an anxiops concern for the fundamentals
OF our goverhment. The question of whether
the prohibition laws are wise or foolish

of any law will inevitably breed a lack Of
respect for all laws. That ominous process
is undoubtedly under way IN the country To-
day and the momentum 1t has gathered is
nowhere revealed so clearly as in the evil

SEEN ON THE SIDE
by HENRY EDWARD WARNER
The Question.


A Girl grows up from baby days
And threads this dark and mystic maze
With just ono question in her mind
Concerning all OF humankind.
From baby days, one question rings
Above the sounds OF lesser things;
To her. all OF creations plan
Concerns a Man. conccrns n Man!
a Boy starts in different way,
Gathers his strength in work and play
Until he feels the rough begin
To speak of whiskers on his chin.
And from that moment, all of life
Is bound in one emotional strife,
And all that's in his phychic whirl
Concerns a Girl concerns u Girl!
And when the Boy and Girl have met
And when their stage Is neatly set,
And when the priest has said the words
TO these two billing. cooling birds
When all their dreams have come so true
That one takes no more room than two,
Why. then. the burden OF each breast
Concerns a nest, concerns Il nest.
And may these birds fly. mate and sing
With love thrills in their carolng,
Until the very suns are cold.
Until the newest stars arc old.
