Willard and Des,,p-

Copyright. 1922. by The ArgtN.)
New York, N. r.. Nov. 25.-What
with the million simoleon offer
hurled at Jack Dempsey for three
matches, the $4,000 pocketbook
hung up before Jess willard for q
scrap with Floyd johnson, insist
ent demands by Harry Greb that
he be given precedence in choice
OF an opponent for the heavyweight
champion and recollectons Of the
seeking set-to between Kid Kaplan
and Kid Sullivan at the Garden
Friday night there was enough
fight talk hereabcuts today to
crowd some Of the Yale-Harvard.
Army,Na dope of the sport page.
Let's take en- in sequence.
The reported offer of AL H.
Woods of 100000 to Dempsey
for three fights, one of which is to
be a mixed affair with Stranger
Lewis, will have to get the sane
ton of the New York boxing COM
mission and some folks think the
commission will not agree to IL
cense any such affair. Then, too.
Tex Richard is expected to roar in
opposition ON the ground that he
holds a copyright on any big cham
pionship event in which Dempsey
plays the leading role in this state.
Therell be a lot of fuss and talk
before the Al Woods proposition
goes through.
AS to the offer Of Charles Murray,
Buffalo fight promoter for the Will
lard-Floyd johnson fight, only one
comment can be made. Either the
printer made a mistake and care
lessly added an extra 20" or Muir
ray doesn't care what he does with
his money. The general opinion
is that Willard would be glad to
fight the up and coming young
Johnson for whole lot less.
Where Murray expects to hold the
bout to draw that much money is
a mystery.
Now Mr.. Greb has the floor. AT
the Garden today Greb repeated
his frequently stated remarks that
he is the best what is, that he
has beat everybody but Dempsey
and that by all that's just be
should be Jacks next opponent
Greb. should await the outcome OF
his affair with Tunney before he is
so positive.
And concluding. neither Kaplan
nor Sullivan showed anything that
would make even an amateur OBJ
server mistake either for a coming
champion. Both merely demon
strated that they are courageous,
hardy, give and take WALLPAPERS who
are well worth going to see pro-
vided neither is hooked up against
a scientific boxer, in which case
the fight wouldn't last long.

POLITICS AND WOMEN.

Notwithstanding Emerson saying that
"a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin
of little minds" it does seem opposite to
say that there is something inconsistent
in Miss Alice Robertson's attitude when
she heard of her defeat. She is reported
to have said that she had learned in Of
flee that women should stay out of poll
tics. It is a curious statement for wom-
an to make, in the face of the nineteenth
amendment, and considering the courtesy
which was extended to Miss Robertson
during her term of office.
For men, as we'll as women, there is
much that is disagreeable or worse in
practical politics and it would show q
greater strength of mind not TO run away
from it. but to stay and fight it out. Miss
Robertson's experience should prove to be
,of great value to women who contemplate
political career and she owes it to her
sex. not to retreat from the fight for
equality, but to stand by her guns and
slight it out like man." 1t is, we think,
a pertinent question to ask whether. in
the event that Miss Robertson had won
the election, she would have declined to
serve?
We suspect that Miss Robertson wanted
to stay in politics a little longer at least
and that she must have had something OF
the sort in mind when she permitted hel
name to be used as candidate.

ON TRAIL OF MAIL SWINDLERS.

The nationwide drive against swindling
use of the mails, announced by the de-
parement of justice, will receive the EN-
thusastic endorsement Of the public in
general and of the duped elements in
particular. 1t is stated that approx
mately 500 cases representing a loss
through postal swindles aggregating more
than $140,0o0,000, are already in the
hands of United States attorneys and that
a larger number are in course of prepara,
ton.
Unquestionably the privilege of the
mails has been abused by the swindlers
who have ayailed themselves of this

THE SOUTH SEES THE LIGHT.

1t is an unhappy truism that the South,
cradle of so much that is gracious and
revered in American history and social
life, also contains a population which has
been permitted to sink into a grave
apathy in the matter of education.
4 Poverty has played its part. but the
impulse for educational facilities, it must
be admitted, has not manifested itself in
keeping with the commercial growth Of
the Southern states in more recent years.
With one or two Xceptions,-one thinks
especially of the classic University Of
Virginia universities and colleges
below the Mason and Dixon line are far
below the standard of educational facili-
ties which prevail throughout the country.
The South in the past has neglected
this work; Southern states are to be found
at the bottom of the table for appro-
priations for educational purposes. The
result is seen in the depressing stories
brought forth by Investigators in the
mountain communities, in the coal fields,
wherever cheap living is to be found, re-
vealing a condition of social ignorance
almost incredible. It is gratifying that
the South itself is now coming to reali-
cation of its need for the betterment OF
its educational institutions. Many of the
states are setting about the task with
Sommendable energy; Kentucky is seek
Ing to float bond issue Of $3,OOO,0O0
for the benefit of the state university.
Alabama is calling on its population to
help rebuild its state university and has
sounded slogan which New Mexico
would do well to adopt: Education for
all; all for education"
While the South is profiting by the
example of the more progressive states
in this matter of education, which is of
the most vital concern to everyone, other
states may also find it profitable to avoid
some of the mistakes of the South. The
future of any community reposes in the
opportunity for d liberal education which
it places before its people.

| LUMBER MILL.
To Be ERECTED
At BERNALILL0.
Company Incorporated at
$6,000,000 to Exploit
Canyon de San Diego
Grant of Jemez Forest

All doubt regarding the erection
of a huge lumber mill at BernalillO.
19 miles north of Albuquerque, has
been dissipated with the organiZa-
tlon Of a corporation at Charleston
West Virginia. The corporation
was formed solely for the purpose
of exploiting the Canyon de San
Diego grant, in the Jemez national
forest.
This grant is a large body Of
timber composed almost entirely
of western yellow pine. Tributary
to the same operation there is an
other large tract, which contains
between 300,000,000 and 100000
O00 feet of timber.
In order TO exploit this vast
quantity of timber the company
was incorporated at $6,OOO,000, un-
der the name of the White Pine
Lumber company.
The company was organized by
Guy A. Porter, who is president
and chief figure in the company
which is composed of business men
Of Charleston, West Virginia. The
following men compose the board
Of directors:
W. f. McCorklo, former COVER
nor of west Virginia.; George Z,
Breeze, former mayor of Charles
ton w. Va, and prominent in the
lumber business in the southwest,
NJ. NJ. Williamson, Isaac Lowen-
stein and Angus Mcdonald.
1t has been decided that $1,000
900 in cash shall be paid into the
company at once for the construc-
ton of a railroad from Bernalillo
to penetrate to the timber which
is to be tapped. The tract is about
40 miles northwest Of Bernallllo.
The connecting railroad is to be
known as the Santa Fe Northwest
ern.
The mill and manufacturing
plants at Bernalillo are estimated
to cost 100000 and will cover
I1OS acres of land donated to the
company by the citizens of Berna
lilo. There will be an eight foot
double band saw with resaw. This
will cut 10000 ever 10 hours ana
eventually is to be operated con-
| tinuously.
II is estimated that it will take
rs years to cut the timber. Al
timber is to be air dried, the eli
mate obviating the necessity OF
kiln drying which is customary in
most localities. The plant will be
under the direction of Frank
! Porter
