MINING

The World'r Greatest Industry. By Former Governor Wm Sulzer.
 Political Economists tell us that mining, next to agriculture, is the greatest iruust: y in our Country.
 Th)s is true from the view point that if our soil Were until ed there would be little to eat, and famine would stalk the land.
 From a financial, or none tary. standpoint however, to s#y nothing about relativi'y. and every commodity is relative to the product of the Mines, the mining industry is the greatest in the World. The truth of this as ,ertion becomes apparent when it is visuallzed that mining gives us the standard of value by which the price of almost every tDlng produced by the brain and braWn Of mAn is measured.

Mr.. Camp was for IA years president
of the Connecticut Republican Society

Mrs. Ruby Smith Stahl, soprano, and
Earl Carbauh, baritone, have been
constantly in readiness to aid with

have been intersperced among the

which lasts from October until June.
The Connecticut Society has three
classes of members, devised by the con-
stitution and this method has proved
convenient and adjustable. Active
members are those who actually live
in Washington. and these include the
congressional delegation, and every
member of this has signed the list
and all are loyal attendants and sup
porters. These members govern the
society and transact all it's business.
Visitors Have Privileges.
The second class of members are
those who keep their permanent resi-
dence in the State but who come to
Washington for prolonged sojourns
either on business or pleasure. and
they thus have all the privileges of
the active members except in relation
to management. The third is a class
or honorary members selected from
the citizens who have become distin-
guished in public life or service and
may be deemed entitled to such con-
sideration from the local society at
the National Capital.
The present officers of LLe society
are; Matthew E. OBrieu, president;
Mrs. Guerney S. Stronk first vice

BIG BOUT PROSPECTS
STIR CHICAGO FANS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, April 17.--Chicago box
ing fans hope to learn today from
Tex Richard the details Of the
Dempsey Wills title fight, If any; the
plans for Chicago's model of Madi-
son Square Garden, if any, and the
chances, IL any. of a rapid centraliza-
ton of the kingdom of fistiana in
the Midwest as the result of the re-
cent legalization of the sport in Chi
cago.
The visit by Rickard this soon
after the favorable action on box
ing is generally believed to herald
a quiet rush of outside promoters TO
get in on the ground floor in Chi
cago.
Rickard was here on a Secret
mission" a month ago, after which
it was generally rumored that the
purpose was to pave the way for
a Rickard -owned' arena here.
Beyond Richards program and the
signs of a rush to the new fistic
Klondike, the situation developing
recently has given rise to opinion
that the promoters visit portends
a Shown down" on the champion
ship situation.
Floyd Fitzsimmons, who holds
both the Dempsey and Wills sigma :
lures, has announced that legaliZed
boxing here would probably mean
holding the title battle in Chicago.
From New York has come word that
Wills manager has issued an ulti-
matum to FitZsimmons, for imme-
diate action toward bringing the
champion and challenger together. or
Withdrawing from the entire matter.
Just what Richards connection
with the whole affair is has been
only vaguely suggested, but his visit,
the announcement that Dempsey
himself would be here within 10 days
and the heavyweight situation in
general, have been considered as
promising something definite with
regard to the defense of Dempsey S
