Chicago, April 16.-Members of the

Chicago betting company because they

From repors eminating from many
sources Jack Dempsey is likely %
quit the ring without a deciding
fight with either Wills or Gibbons
both Of whom are after his scalp, and
incidentally his championship bel.
The trouble with Jack is that his
family doesn't want hin disfigured.
A severe blow on Jacks manufac-
tured nose might work havoc TO tina;
member. and might even result in
blood poisoning.
And besides Jack has gone in for
pictures. Just how he appeals a. an
actor to the general public We do not
know; but our opinion Is that he will
not last long once he yields the belt
TO another champion; for Jack Is not
an actor. He is anything else but
He gets a boistefous hand from the
boys Of 10 to Il; but they are ap-
plauding a champion prize fighter and
not an actor. Jacks promoters in
the moving picture world, will learn
this as soon as the champion doffs
the belt, and the applause will go
back to Tom Mix, ct al.
As a prize fighter Jack Dempsey is
a slugger, and not much else. He has
been touted as a scientific boxer. and
we do not doubt that he can box
scientifically; but no scientific fighter
would leave as many openings for an
opponent as Jack left in his last figh.
with the Argentine Firpo. Had he
been in the ring on that occasion with
as skilled a fighter as Jim Corbett at
26, he would have been licked to a
finish as soon as he re-entered the
ring after being knocked into the
press stand. 1t is conceded by ex-
perts that if the Argentine had not
been dumb he would now be the
worlds champion heavyweight. We
do not blame Jack for quitting.

Better than none" is the Chicago
Tribune's editorial estimate of the
Barr bin which is being put forward
as a substitute for the Dunlap police
bill.
The Tribune voices its opposition
to this bill by stating that Senator
Barr 'is providing a political ma
chine" and adds that the people Of
the state may have right to some con.
sideration. Nevertheless the Tribune
has decided that it is better to have
poor measure than none at all.
We think that has been the trouble
with our legislative bodies. give US
bills and more bills" is the cry. The
question is not whether they are good
bad or Indifferent. What we must
have is bills" controlling everything
regulating everything, covering every
thing else.
Happily some of the legislators are
getting out of this way of thinking
and are coming to believe that the
State of Illinois has a right to the
best, and are refusing to accept
watery substitutes.

"A futile quarrel in the legisla.
ture," according to a definition giver
of the contest over the state constabu.
larry measure, is likely to be the ter
mination of all efforts to pass either
the Dunlap bill or its substitute, the
Barr bill.
The Objectionable clause in the Dun
lap bill, providing for the state con
stabulary to be sent into cities in case
request is made by local authorities
or the governor, is credited with
bringing the Dunlap bill into disre-
pute.
Even the most optimistic friends Of
the measure are about ready to con-
elude their task hopeless. The con.
viction is growing that neither of the
measures can be passed. The argu.
ment against such legislation, instead
of diminishing, appears to be growing
stronger as action is deferred.
Even if either bill should pass both
house and senate it is expected that
the governor will add the finishing
touches with his veto.

July 1, 1894, was an epochal day il
the history Of Kokomo, Ind, and in
eidentally throughout the world.
Thirty years Is but a short time II
the worlds history, yet it has suffered
to create changes all but incompre-
hensible. Thirty years ago Elwooo
Haynes drove the first American gas
buggy on the streets Of Kokomo, mi
The vehicle is now preserved in the

Imagine the CONSERVATION of the
populace and the ridicule of the wise-
acres who declared he darn thing
never would work."
Evidently Haynes knew what he
was about for in 1895 he opened the
first "horseless carriage plant in
America and commenced making
primitive automobiles.
Necessity is the mother of inven-
ton" says the adage. 1t was true in
the case of Elwood Haynes, who in his
work for a natural gas company had
a large territory to cover and needed
to travel with more speed.
His first contraption had no diff

speed limit, travelling but eight miles

ened horses and caused runaways. No
wonder. With one cylinder popping
and chugging like a steamboat taking
the rapids, and the thing missing fire
every few feet, it looked a discourag
ing proposition. But Haynes had the
essence Of something tied up in his
mechanism, and the world now knows
what it was.
Elwood Haynes died at his Kokomc
home last Monday night at the age OF
68, but his memory will live with
Fulton, Whitney, Edison and other
notables who have achieved fame in
the world of invention.

Sense from Congress

Congress enacts the laws and the

not nullify because of divided opinion.
We can net jeopardize orderly gov

foreement. Modification or repeal IS

Sutherland Of Alaska. in speaking on
Law enforcement in Alaska.
agriculture is our basic industry.
Civilization advances and declines
with il. That has been the rule
through the centuries. Congress at
this session should have enacted legis-
lation looking to its relief. 1t may
be justly censured for not meeting
the situation. The farmer should re-
eeiye a greater proportion of price
on his product to the consumer. In
1922 the money value of his crops as
they left the farms was about S.
900 900 900. The consumer paid S22,-
900 100000 for the same Identical
crops. Nearly fifteen billions was
taken by those who stand between
the producer and the consumer. The
bridge is too long and should be
shortened. The producer must get
more for his labor.-Representative
Gibson of Vermont, in discussing the
agricultural problem in Vermont.
