FEAR FELT FOR
GLOVE SPORT AS
MULDOON PASSES
Retirement of Veteran Com
missioner Removes Man
Who Baked Crooks.
BY HENRY l.. FARRELL
United Press STAFF Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Retirement
of William Muldoon as chairman of
the New York boxing commission,
scheduled for Jan. l, has turned ma
tional boxing interest to New York.
For some unexplained reason the
bunch has spread that boxing is IN
grave danger of it's life in New York
and that the sport will do or die as a
result Of Muldoons retirement.
May Be Last Chance
II the sport takes punch on the nose
from the Legislature, there are rea-
sons t. believe it will never get an
other chance in New York. and if the
sport passes out here it may weaken
the game all over the country.
Boxing was tried here with every
chance for it to succeed if it wanted
to be decent and on the level, and If
1t fails 1t will mean it is a sport that
is not worth living.
Since boxing was restored in New
York. 1t was brought back in many
States, and If It takes a dive here it
probably will fioI. every place.
Doesn't Care to Continue
Muldoon's commission expires the
first Of the year, and he has made it
known he does not care for reappoint-
ment. He wouldn't get it If he wanted
to continue in office. not that he isn't
deserving, but because worth is a SEQ
ondary factor when politics is con-
ceTned.
Muldoon ruled with an iron hand
and a despotic heart, but he did a lot
for the game. He was feared, and
boxing cannot be managed unless the
men engaged in the business have
something to restrain them. Fear of
Muldoon kept them going straight
There were no yells OF scandal or
suspicion Of scandal until Muldoon
was forced to take back seat in the
commission chamber. When he sur
rendered his dominating position, the
old game started to wobble

AS TRUE
AS GOSPEL

Fred P. Mann. of DEVILS Lake, N.
D., who enjoys the distinction of SELL
ing a greater amount of goods in his
general store than is sold in any 9TH
er store in the world in . town Of like
size, recently delivered a talk 1t San
Antonio, Tex. And he spoke these
words, words as true as gospel:
Il would feel was tied hand and
foot if l failed to tell the people thru
the papers what I have to sell. The
best time to advertise is when times
are hard or business is bad and your
competitor either curtails his adver-
tising or is not advertising Ut all. I
believe the newspapers Of this coun-
try are the greatest business build
ers the world has ever known. have
tried to do business without printers
ink as well as with it, and my conclu-
sion is that the merchant who thinks
he can prosper without advertising
his goods is foolish. For merely
making living is no longer consid-
cred as being successful in the busi-
ness world"
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1923-12-20
HERE'S A
SUGGESTION

We have no quarrel with those who
take and read regularly good, clean
city daily, but everybody owes it to
his home community to support the
local newspaper, which stands always
for making the community in which
it is published better place in which
to live. Numbered among your dear
friends or near relatives is someone
who has gone to another state to live.
They are still interested in you and
yours, and the old home town and
county. What would make them a
more appropriate Christmas present
than a subscription to the Grit-Ad-
vocate? 1t would be a present, too,
that they would get pleasure out of
each week during the entire fifty
two weeks in the year. Can you i'm
agine anything more sensible in the
way of a gift, or one that would be
more appreciated?
Think it over and then come in and
leave the address Of at least one per-
son you want to make happy for
Christmas and all next year. Well
gladly drop them line ourselves and
tell them that your thoughtfulness
has made the Christmas gift of a
years subscription possible.

On many Of the issues touched on

ence will be the keystones Of the pol

WATCH THE
SIGNALS

They complain that many drivers
make left-hand turns in hap-hazard
manner, without extending the arm
from the car, as should be done, to no.
tify the driver in the rear of their in
tentions. Or they come to sudden
stop without first dropping the left
hand outside of the car to show that
they are going to stop. The driver Of
every car should remember that the
man driving behind him is watching
closely for such signals as he may
give, and that it is really the only
safeguard against an accident. One
little bit of carelessness in using the
hand signal may result in a bad COL
lision, with possible loss of life or
at least, costly damage to machines.
It's easy to signal, and it's only
carelessness that keeps anyone from
doing so. Remember that the next
time you go to make left-hand turn
or when you stop your car.

| WHY NOT
ACT NOW?

We are pleased to announce that a
number in this community have seen
the wisdom of giving a Christmas
present that lasts a whole year, and
have handed US the names of rela-
tives living at a distance to whom
they want the Grit-Advocate sent for
all of 1924.
When you come to think of it,
nothing cheers the hearts Of those
who still hold the old home town and
county dear as much as letter from
home. And since the average man or
woman is too busy to write to their
relatives every week they can find a
means just as good, and that is by
seeing that the hometown paper, the
same thing as letter from home, is
sent them regularly. They also real
ize that every time it reaches its des-
tination it freshens in the minds of
those who receive it the love they
cherish for those who sent it.
We will gladly drop a card to any
relative or friend to whom you wish
to send the Grit-Advocate for the year
1924 telling them that you have been
kind enough to subscribe for it in
their name, and that it is your Xmas
gift to them. Where else can you
buy relative or friend as much hap
piness as years subscription to the
Grit-Advocate will cost?

UP TO CONGRESS
TO DO IT

If Congress will only enact into law
the more important of the proposals
made by President Coolidge in his re-
cent message, there seems little ques-
ton that the Republican party will be
granted a new lease of power.
In calling for a generous reduction
of taxes, the president has taken a
stand that meets with the enthusiast
tic appreciation of the business COM
munity. Such reduction would in
spire business with new life. People
would have the courage to push new
projects and confidence would take
the place of hesitation. Capitalists
and employers who had felt doubtful
about pushing business, would be in
cited by such reduction to go ahead
aggressively. The result would be to
assure regular employment to labor
and bring increased welfare to every
home.
In asking that this country adhere
to the International Court, subject to
a reservation declaring that this coun-
try does not adhere to the League Of
Nations, the president would seem to
express the sentiment of the great
majority of Republicans.
Two important suggestions of the
president are his request for consti-
tutional amendments prohibiting the
issue of tax exempt securities, and for
one prohibiting child labor. The first
of these measures would make wealth
in due time bear it's full share Of the
burdens of the country The second
would prevent our industry from load
ing burden on it's children which is
beyond their years. 1t would be a
great achievement if Congress could
send these two amendments on their
way to ratification by the states
The presidents message rises + a r
above the atmosphere of political
maneuvering, and is the work of a
statesman and thinker. Congress
should hesitate to disregard or neglect
any of its recommendations.

DRUNKEN AUTO
DRIVERS

Most of rs can look back to other
days when it was possible for = man
with q few drinks Of liquor under hi.
belt to steer the faithful old family
horse to and from town without en-
dangering to any great extent his
own life or the lives Of others. But
it is different now, though we regret
to say there are still q few who ap-
pear not to have realized it.
We may differ on the merits Of
the Eighteenth Amendment-we may
favor it or oppose it. But on one point
we are all agreed. and that is that the
tightening up on liquor drinking came
at an opportune time 50 far ~ human
life is concerned. If there had been
as many autos back in the days when
whiskey drinking was ut its height in
this country there wouldn't have been
cemeteries enough to hold the dead.
For if there are two things that won't
mix, those two things are booze and
gasoline. Driving a horse while in
toxicated is no great feat. because a
horse has q measure of intelligence.
But the man isn't living who can op-
crate an automobile as carefully when
drunk as when sober.
Our courts all over the country are
making it plain that the public de-
mands protection from drunken auto
drivers, and they are showing no
mercy to the drivers who display the
signs Of intoxication when arrested
usually after they have damaged 9TH
er machines or injured innocent peo-
pie on the streets or highways. And
it's a good thing. We have no desire
to argue the prohibition question
here, but we do join with every good
citizen in this land in demanding that
if a man must drink that he stay
away from a steering while he is do
ing it.

when school houses in the counkry are

are the result of toll and thrift, 20
I'm thankful for good health to toll
and sense enough to save q little Is

Maybe it wouldn't be bad idea, the
next time We start in to kick about
something, If We really haven't 80
many good things that we can well
afford to put up \ few bad things
now and then, or with something that
doesn't just exactly suit Us, since we
have 80 many things that do. It's hu-
man nature to kick, Of course. And
yet when we sit down and figure
how the generation that went before
US here in this community got along
without 80 per cent Of the blessings
and eonveniencea ne havA at The
present day, doesn't it seem sort Of
ungrateful to join that vast army Of
people who kick because they are not
capable Of making good use Of what
they have got!

THE PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE

Colorado has every reason to feel
fully satisfied with the recomBmenda-
tions made by President Coolidge in
his opening message to congress. Like
the man himself, the speech was
straightforward, FREE from verbiase,
and directly to the point. Every Is
sue was met without attempt At eva
sion. The man at the helm at Wash
ington knows exactly where he is
steering, and is keeping closely to his
course.
OF special interest is the fact that
the president lays particular empha-
sis on the necessity for the strictest
economy in the administration of the
public affairs. to the end that . fur
ther reduction in taxation may be
made possible. The accomplishment
of the Republican administration in
reducing national expenses by billions
of dollars in less than three years is
one Of the outstanding achievements
Of American history; but President
Coolidge is not content, and insists
that the policy of economy be strict
ly adhered to and that further saw
ings be made. AS the president points
out, the budget system has made it
possible to put the national govern
ment on q business-like basis and has
resulted in tremendous savings, and
must be retained.
A dirt farmer himself, President
Coolidge faces the agricultural prob
lem four-square. No specious prom
ises, impossible of fulfillment, come
from him. After pointing out the
fact that in two years since the Re
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1923-12-20

publican tariff measure has been in
operation eleven agricultural staples
have risen in value from IS, ,300, ,OOO,-
900 to $1,000, ,O0o. 900. He says:
"No complicated scheme Of relief.
no plan for government fixing Of the
prices, no resort to the public treas
ury viii be of any permanent value
in establishing agriculture. Simple
and direct methods put into operation
by the farmer himself are the only
real sources for restoration. Indirect
" the farmer must be relieved by
reduction Of national and local taxa
ton. He must be assisted BY the re-
organization Of the freight rate struc-
ture which could reduce charges on
his production. To make this fully
effective there ought to be railroad
consultations. Cheaper fertilizers
must be provided"
Straight talk, that from = real far
mer who knows that it is unfair and
un-American to attempt to single out
the farmer rs the object Of special
benefits thru improper legislation and
that the welfare Of the farmer, like
that of the business man and the cat
tie raiser and the manufacturer, de-
pend on an economical administration
Of public affairs and the conduct Of
the government on the lines of safety
and sanity, which will bring prosperi-
ty for all citizens of the nation.
In similar fashion the president
handles the other issues Of the day. In
eight words he declares simply that it
is his duty to enforce the prohibition
law; in nine he tells his stand on the
bonus. Briefly he reiterates an un-
qualified opposition to sacrificing the
independence of America by joining
