A High Rate Of Entertainment

If any statistician were to work out
the ratio Of cost per minute Of the
pugilistic encounter last night in New
York to each Of the 10000 spectators
who were jammed into the arena the
result would be interesting. Roughly
speaking, it Is reported that the paid
admissions totaled about s1,250.00o.
Actual fighting itself lasted four min
utes in the big bout, which was all
that drew the crowd, the elapsed time
from the gong to the actual knock
out being only about four minutes,
Thus, in terms of the real fighting, the
match cost the public at the rate Of
1912, 500 per minute, or about s5,2oe
q second.
This is a perfectly fair criterion of
the measure OF entertainment. for
pugilism is now money game, a COM
mercial proposition. The holder of the
championship gets the bulk OF the
prize, win or lose. The promoters
rake in an enormous harvest. The
ticket spectators get a rich rake-of
and the bettors on the winning side
make a big cleanup. There is no H'ay
to tell how many million dollars
changed hands as a result Of the four
minutes Of fist pounding in the New
York base ball park. From every
angle Of the affair the dollar mark
shows.
It would be a relief to see pugilism
brought back to a strictly Sportsman
ship basis. to see contenders for and
defenders Of the championship matched
on their merits and not upon terms OF
the biggest gate" to see the fight
conditioned on the old principle Of
winners purse. With the challenger
guaranteed all expenses and possible
profit, and the challenged title.holder
assured of an immense share Of the
receipts regardless Of the outcome, the
fight game is purely a matter of bust.

Republican Representation.

The republican national committee
has performed a salutary act in re.
apportioning the delegate representa-
ton of the states in the national con-
vention, an action which has been de-
manded for many years. The next
national convention, as result, will
be composed of a body of delegates
more fairly representative of the vot.
ing power of the states when it comes
to the nomination Of candidates for
President and Vice President-that is
to say, states which cast negligible
republican votes in the election will
not be permitted to have equal voice
in the nomination with states that
must bear the responsibility of elect.
ing the candidates.
That seems only fair and just. It is
unreasonable to try to defend the old
system, for there is no defense for it.
1t has been q scandal and a reproach
for many years, and it was high time
to abolish it. The idea that a group
of states which cannot, all combined,
furnish as many republican votes as
some Congress districts supply in the
election, can send Il bloc Of delegates
to the nominating convention suf.
ficient to put over candidate, is un.
tenable.
Naturally. an outcry is expected
from the southern states that are af-
fected by the reduced representation.
They will probably bring up their old
argument, that it is "discouraging the
republican party in the SOUTH" Well.
plenty of time has been afforded for
the upbuilding of republican party
in the south, and save in the state OF
Tennessee the republican party is
largely myth. The national conven.
ton should not overturn the action OF
the national committee.

The District Estimates.

The scaled-down estimates OF the
District for the next fiscal year have
gone to the budget bureau. but the
end is not yet. AS prepared by the
Commissioners after revising the esti.
mates Of heads of the District depart.
ments the total as at first sent for
ward to the director of the budget
was s32, 500. 900. The estimates as re-
duced by order of the budget director
stand now in round figures at $685.
100000 The cut OF more than $1,000
900 would take out or the immediate
prospect many betterments which the
Capital needs and which the people
of the District sincerely desire.
1t is said that, taking advantage
of a privilege given them by Gen.
Lord, the Commissioners will send
forward a list of supplemental re-
quests amounting nearly to $1,000, 600,
and including practically everything
that has been eliminated from the
regular budget" It would be valueless
to prophesy what reception will be
given by the director of the budget to
these supplemental estimates, but citi-
zens Of the District need not be with
out hope. 1t seems probable that we
will not get all. but that we shall get
a part of what Is asked for in the ad-
ditiona1 estimates. The needs which
are estimated for in that schedule are
urgent.
The business of the budget bureau
is to keep federal appropriations with
in the probable or estimated federal
revenue. For the maintenance and
development of the Capital city the
charge against the federal Treasury is
40 per cent, and 1t is assumed that in
the estimates as originally prepared
by the Commissioners the 60 per cent
to be paid by local taxes Is within the
estimated revenues of the District.
This ought to have some Influence
with the budget bureau in passing on
estimates for public works which the
District sorely needs.

Labor Rejects Communism.

By vote of moro than four to one
the Illinois Federation of Labor yes
terday turned down proposals ad-
vanced by William Il. Foster for what
is known as "amalgamation,' or zone
big union," and the formation of q
labor party. The fight had been on for
TWO days. Foster was attacked vigor-
ously as the head OF an organization
that under the guise of an innocent
name is the direct agency of commu-
ntsIn in America, as the representa-
tive in this country of the radical
forces of Europe. He denied these as
sertions, and offered the books" OF
his association as proof of his conten-
tion that his organization is a true
representation Of American labor.
1t is gratifying and reassuring thus
10 see Foster repudiated by the Illinois
federation. The vote there against his
scheme of a labor party of the one big
union, and his third proposal for the
recognition of Russia may be regarded
as about the sentiment of the Ameri-
can labor organizations in general on
these questions. In some Of the unions
the percentage of radicals is probably
much lower than the one-f1fth that
supported the Foster resolution at
Chicago. In some others it may be
larger, may, indeed, be a majority.
But these latter are the smaller groups
of labor, the membership being largely
Of aliens.
The "boring-from- within process is
not succeeding. Foster and his asso-
ciates may have to make the fight in
the open henceforth. His purposes are
TOO well understood to permit the main-
tenance Of a, secret campaign of
camouflaged radicalism within the
ranks. The responsible leaders of Ia
Dor in this country and the great ma
jority of the rank and file Of the
unions now thoroughly understand
the purposes Of this dangerous fac
ton, and although the radicals have
plenty of means, the source of which
is not to be questioned, every time the
question is brought to an issue, as it

their plans to capture majority OF

ernment. Gen. Primo Rivera, captain
general at Barcelona, who started the
revolt, is actual head of a directorate
composed of six generals and presided
over formally by Munos Cobo. captain
general of Madrid. It is expected,
however, that a mixed military and
civil cabinet will be substituted for the
directorate, perhaps at once, composed
of entirely new men. One report cir
culates that it is the intention Of the

that no elections will be held as long
as the present political conditions pre-
vail.
At the crisis. King Alfonso main

was, In effect, favorable to the revolt.
He declined to accede to the request Of
the ministry to take action against
the revolving generals by ordering a
court-martial for their trial for insur.
rection. This was eminently the course
OF wisdom. Had he granted the re-
quest and ordered the arrest and trial
of the military leaders he would prob
ably have lost his throne. For there
is no means of enforcing such @ pro-
cedure. 1t would virtually have been
asking the army to arrest and con-
denim itself. Alfonso is shrewd enough
to know the peril of obstructIng a
fixed fact.
There is no evidence Of spirit of
revolt on the part Of the people. Nor
is there any sign of a disposition on
the part OF the army chiefs at present
to cause q radical change of policy
save in respect perhaps to the Morocco
campaign. Charges of corruption
have been indicated in instructions to
military judges TO institute proceed
ings against Santiago Alba. former
foreign minister, who is now reported
refugee in Biarritz. There is some
suggestion that the communists and
anarchists may attempt to take ad-
vantage OF the overturn by starting a
general strike. but the new govern
ment is distinctly averse to radlcalism,
and such an effort is likely to fail
quickly.
Taken altogether, 1t would seem that
this Spanish affair makes for better
government and more assured sta
bility.
