AS for. being lassoed, The
Budget ducked everything that
even resembled a lariat. A
Texas cowboy was imported to
dilute The Budgets ambition,
but it was three months before
he could get in the same pas
ture with him.
Finally one day The Budget
stopped to inspect a mile post,
when he was lassoed from a
blind baggage car. The train
stopped so suddenly it threw
the engineer into voluntary
bankruptcy.
The shock startled The Bud
get so much he ran backward
three miles and two-fifths,
dragging the train and most of
the rail with him.
When The Budget was thor
oughly anchored to the freight
and passenger system, the cow
boy succeeded in getting close
enough to throw a barbed-wire
moose around his features.
From then on The Budget
commenced to learn more and
more about the thing we call
civilization. True, a few of the
barbs splintered off in to OBJ
livion, but most of them sank
in his meat.
The Budget took three
months off the turf to think
things over and decide on a
course Of action. His response
is what started the San Fran
cisco earthquake.

Here is his letter:
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.
my Dear Tad:
''In answering your letter re-
garding the best men who ever
fought, ] will receive a lot of
criticism for my opinion from
fans who will not agree with me.
No man is entitled to an opinion
of any kind unless he is versed
in the matter he is passing upon.
It would be foolish for me to
vouchsafe an opinion in q law
suit. l would only be giving
judgment from the heart and be
in the position Of the man who
watches his friend or favorite box
and who can only see the blows
landed by his man. Partisanship
also influences the referees of to-
day, for a packed house roofing
for Paddy the Ram" makes the
referee waver. Then there isn't
a referee in the game today who
can tell what constitutes points
on which he is supposed to render
decision. The only decision that
is unquestioned is that rendered
by a knockout. This is brought
about by the unorthodox methods
of boxing nowadays-holding, hit
ting in clinches, etc.

Boxing is like the old four
"A ball billiard game. Anyone
could play it, so they took away
one of the balls and a good game
resulted. Then the balk-line game
game was added, and behold we
have a game that few can play
well. Our old boxing rules were
likewise improved until very few
now can recognize the game as it
was in the good old days.
"The most weird decisions are
rendered out here in the four
round bouts. A boy from the
Potrero, one Silver, has beaten
everyone he met with ease. On
account Of his being a member of
a little-liked race the fans wish
to see him licked and he gets the
worst of things all the time. He

The daily gatherings he receivGd-
from Dempsey put a terrible dent
In Renault's self-confidence He
was made to feel his inferiority ard
that feeling stil1 exists in him. 1t
may never be eradicated and in
that case he never viii become q
first class. fighting man.
Although not actually afraid Of
johnson, Renault fought as If he
were not sure Of himself Johnson's
feeble blows were nothing more
than threatening gestures. They
did not amount to anything and
vet RenaultN treated them as though
they were as dangerous as the
wall0ps Of Dempsey.
IL tooIx RonauIt fourteen rounds
to make up his mind TO set him
self ia deliver 3 knock down wal
Ion. Al real fighter would have
sensed JOhusOn's helplessness in
4 round and would have ended
matters without delay.
Even Jess Willard, who is natural
" cautious, on-aggressive, peace
fun sort of person, did not take
long to find out that Johnson had
nothing and for the first time In
his life big Jess fought aggressively,
knowing that he had nothing to
fear.
The early training Of a fighter
generally shapes his whole career.
Sparring partners remain sparring
partners to the end. There have
been 8 few exceptions, but they only
prove. the rule.
Jim Jeffriea began as sparring
partner to. Corbett when the latter
wa training for his battle with
FitHsinnnons, but Jeff's experience
with Corbett was nothing like Re
nAultss experience with Dempsey.
Corbett could not hit hard enough
to fight his way out of q paper
bag, as the saying goes. Big jeff
could take everything he had with
| out the slightest inconvenience.
Jeffries sensed the fact that he
could beat COrbett I'm 3 finish
fight. That feeling gave him so
much confidence In himself that
two years later when he fought
| FftzsimmOns for the title. Jeff
| felt that he had real chance
despite the soothing critics, who
| looked upon the novice rs easy
| meat for the lanLy COfnishman.
If Jeffries had been sparring
partner to Fitzsimmons instead of
, to Corbett, ring history might have
been changed. Fitz, Hike Dempsey,
was hard on his helpers. He
knocked all the confidence out of
them. jeff would have been hurt
badly by Fitzsimmons, and it il
more than probable that he never
would have reached the top.
BARLEY Madden is good example
of a sparTing partner who re-
manned sparring partner all the
way through. Madden used to help
Frank Moran train for his bouts.
In order to avoid Moran's famous
right swing, Madden developed a
clinching style of fighting that
never left him. But for that he
might have done well in the ring,
for BARLEY is dead game, tough
and enduring. He has speed and
he might have developed a punch il
he had ben allowed to do some
hitting instead OF acting strictly
as catcher.

SUBSCRIPTIONS:
THE LAW AND OFFICERS
(VaIdez Miner)


 Since ehe passage el the prohibition law one of the commonest items in the newspapers has been charges of graft or participation in the liquor traffic by officers whose duty it is to enforce the law. Never in the history of the country, if the newspapers are to be believed has khere been any thing like it. Federal and local offi Cers alike have been implicated in Vlo- lations or attempts at violation of this law. Men who have held responsible positions for years on the police force without the slightest taint attaching 10 them, have gone wrong, in connec- tion with the illicit liquor traffic.
 Until recently Alaska has been free from cases of this character, but in Cordova, recently two municipal po- Iicemen and a deputy marshal have been bound over to the grand jury on the charge of conspiracy to violate the prohibition law. It may be that they are not guilty; that on trial they will be cleared of the charge, but there is ample evidence that someone is guilty.
 AS a matter of fact the prohibition law enforcement, despite the propa- ganda broadcasted by the Federal Prohibition Bureau, is not being en- forced with any degree of success. The number of persons who are vio- lating the law and escape the penal ties thereof are far greater than those who are caught, and this is true ot DO other law on the statute books The reason for this situation is plain The law does not meet with popular approval. 4 majority of the people o the country are opposed to it, and vii not lend their aid to it's enforcement Disrespect for the prohibition leads t disrespect for other laws; for all law and the consequences are bound to b serious.

There are two simple remedies, one being a modification of present day law. nrobabIy ths easiest and simplest and the other to overrun the country with prohibition officers until the tra1- fife is completely crushed This plan would according to present indications necessitate another batch of officers to watch the prohibition officers, and another punch to watch them, and so on. ad infinitum.
