.POINCARE WILL NOT
 FIGHT DUEL NOW
Decided He Misunderstood What He Thought Mas Insult
By Tine ssociated PreHs.

i By The Associated Press.
 l Paris, March S.-Premier Poincart is not going to fight duel with Dep 1 uty Gaston Le Rovost de Launey, al. 1 though the prospects of such an en- counter had Parisians on the uui 'yive 1 for some time last evening. | The premier challenged de Launay after an incident in the chamber of deputies in which a remark by the deputy from Charente- -Inferieure was taken by NJ. Poincare as a reflection upon him. The seconds who were immediately appointed found, how ever, that the deputy's words had been misunderstood during the heat of de- bate.
 In the course of a speech the pre- mier referred to the allegation made last Friday in the chamber by Paul de Cassagnac that Georges Alandel had applied to him and NJ. de Launey to get the support of Prince Napoleon for Mandel if he should be a candi- date for parliament from Corsica. Mandel was chief clerk to Clemen- ceau when the Tiger was premier.
 De Launay interrupted M. Poincare
 
 with the shout:
 'I hope you do not make yourself responsible for such perfidy."
 It was an incident such as occurs daily in the chamber and no impor- tance was attached to it at the mo- ment.
 The premier, however, appears to have caught only the word ''perfidy" and it ranked. As soon as the house rose he called War Minister Maginot and Colonial Minister Sarraut and asked them to second him, He con- sidered he had been grossly insulted and that he had no alternative but to demand an explanation of satisfaction from de Launay in accordance with the code of honor.
 De Launay. learning of their mis- sion, referred the minister to Depu- ties Boutton and Taittinger. The first act of the four seconds upon meet ing was to send for a transcript of the stenographic report to see exactly what de Launey' had said, Carefully examination showed them that there was no grounds for a duel and the incident was regarded closed.

Taxes on Imported Meats
 To Be Dropped in Portugal

Lisbon, March s.---Among the gov- ernment measures to reduce the cost of living will be decree abolishing taxes on imported meat, according to an official announcement. A recent dis patch from Lisbon said that 50,0o0 persons marched to the government and parliament buildings in a dcmon- stration demanding a reduction of the cost of living. The demonstrators were assured by Premier Castro that hs would heed their protest.

cal candidate and was displeased when the organization gave him the grand
 rush to the gate. It is doubtful whether Alderman Gill will be very enthusiastic over Mir.
 Holmes candidacy. He was friendly
 to the candidacy of Alderman Pajew-
 ski for president pro tenn. and declared
 that the gang that stacked the cards l are also dealing them." He has been
 organization and has stood on his
 feet, and denounced the republican 1 leaders.
 | Although formal announcement is
 withheld, it is believed that there are other factional leaders who will not
 lose any sleep working for the party
 success if Mir. Holmes is nominated.
 Their attitude is in no way criticism ;, of MT. Holmes personally. The "Ob- 5 seryer' has heard many people say that Mir. Holmes would make a splen- did mayor if he were elected. But they do not like the men who are said to be associated with him. They rec ognize in the man an able executive who could be counted on to give the city an administration of which the city would be proud. At the same time their dislike for the organization IS so keen that it overcomes their de- sire to see him win the nomination and election. &
 The whole situation resolves itself into this:-The republican party is eadly dlsorganized. There are schisms within its ranks which make it ex- tremely improbable that it can hope to defeat Mayor Paonessa. The Pa Jewski faction, the ,Quigley faction, the friends of Alderman Gill and the friends of others who are hostile to the machine rend the party asunder. Politics is game the result of which is always in doubt until the last r1in- ute. MT. Holmes may reveal strength which is now concealed. When he lras an opportunity to go before the ra- publican voters he may be able to present sufficient argument for their support at the primaries and at the polls.
 Another contest which will excite attention as the date of the refpul,li- can primaries draws near, is the race
 
 are two to be nominated, and; three candidates. Someone will be disap- pointed. It is not unlikely that some or the candidates for seleetmen will find 1t necessary to line up with fac- tions within the party. { If thiss occurs it will further confuse matters.4
 It was good to hear that there would be no opposition to Bernadotte isoomis for the nomination for tax collector. Mir. Loomis is in class by himself and should remain in office. The democrats should endorse him, not for the political strategy of such an act but because he has made good. Another man who deserves endorse ment is our old friend Alfred l.. Thompson, city clerk.
 The election of one man is already conceded. He is Alderman Francis l.. Conlon of the sixth ward. Alder man conlon is another man in office who has made good. He has repre- sented his constituents faithfully without any bass drum effects or kal- somine lights and should be sent back oy the largest plurality ever given a candidate in that ward. If the re- oublicans should name a man to op- pose him the Observer makes so bold IS to predict that he will be so badly beaten he will think double-barrel cyclone hit him on the back of the ieck.

THE ECONOMIC WELFARE

When successful and influential men
 become greatly concerned over some movement; when they take the trouble
 to try to persuade the Ordinary citi- zen"-"us masses as Will Rogers says
 so delightfully."- and expressively- to
 favor or oppose q certain measure,
 which We can not dispute because We
 are not experts in that line. Then,
 after such arguments. they stand up.
 lean back, their hands clasped be-
 hind their backs and declare with a
 convincing air of finality. "There.
 can't you see the adoption of such a
 measure would utterly ruin the coun-
 try economically?''
 Well, perhaps we can see it and
 perhaps we cant. Perhaps we haven't
 been able to follow their reasoning
 along the lines on which they are ex-
 perts any more than we could stand
 up before our good friend Einstein and show him why his theory of rela- tivity is quite wrong. Incidentally, however we may have some facts of our own on some matter in which we are experts, which our argumentative acquaintances would not be able to follow. But that is something else again.
 We arc getting pretty tired of hear ing that this measure or that, which look pretty sensible to us, is ''ridicu- lous" because it would ruin our coun- up and we find that running our coun- try economically means that men of great business interests would not be able to make as much money as they are now making. We are pretty | moderate, VIC think, and there isn't | any taint of radicalism about ns. We try to brush our halr--if we have any | quite like other people, and we don't | wear flowing black or red neckties | nor do we stand on soap boxes on the | corners and shout about down with | capital" This, because we know what | capital, with the aid of hard working | men, has done for our own city.
 The president of the United States has refused to approve the plan to make the Philippine Islands inde- Moreover he has not used his nuch-praised habit of saying but a CIV words about it. He has gone to treat lengths to explain why Possibly t seemed necessary for him to do so. One does not object at all to this more ull explanation than is his wont: one ,nly wonders at his sudden change rom near silence in decision, to near he-revcrse- of silence.
 And when we study the situation, wondering meanwhile why this coun- ry, dedicated to freedom and to the of independence. hould give practically no hope of in- dependence to the Filipinos. we find hat after all the same old reason is t the bottom of if, namely. that [ .merican interests there should be and that the leading 'busi-' { css men" or captains of industry in he Philippines, arc opposed to rcceiv- lg independence.
