Of defense are acquired as one
goes along with his boxing.

It is bit difficult for me to
explain in writing or even in the
most elaborate illustrations. the
various methods of defense. For,
In every boxing contest. practically
every move in every round brings
about either a new situation. or an
old situation with such variations
as to make it. practically something
new. Furthermore. every opponent
is somewhat different in style and
he must be handled in a rather
individual way.
The Washington times., 1927-06-09

In boxing, the big thing isn't
merely to make your opponent miss.
The VITAL thing is to Make HIM
MISS and then hit him when you
have dueked, slipped or sidestepped
one Of his leads, and trapped him
into an opening.
The Washington times., 1927-06-09

However, i'm the illustrations
that accompany this article, you
will note defensive trickery that
can be employed in the ordinary
instances. These embrace the
standard methods Of defense and
counter attack.

When Barnett was chief
heller of the Third Ward and
the vote threatened to get
away from his candidate, Nose
merely acted in the capacity of
"Jew-ry fixer" for Leach and
his personal friend, Brunskill,
that's all. But at that time he
never thought Of ducking OF
hunting ducks. He gave all his
magnificent attention to seeing
to it that HIS candidates didn't
get the short count on the
Third ward ballots. And now
his henchmen (and it seems
women, too) are facing a jolt
in the Irvine factory while Nose
is shaking the dust of many To-
calities from his number
twelves. Such is life. such is

A Bitter Truth


1--WE have had a feeling that
things were bad enough in our
city, but it is nevertheless a
revelation to find how much
worse the situation must be.
We cannot but bring an &C
cusation against the socalled
Better elements in our city.
Here is a great number of
churches and church people.
There cannot be any doubt but
that if they would they could
cleanse the city from much of
it's filth. They could have done
it this spring at the election.
But they did not.
If thoughtful people, and es-
pecially Christian people, can
not now be aroused to action,
then the outlook is indeed
dark.
1t has astonished and
grieved us more than once to
see how that scandal sheet, the
Twin City Reporter, could be
allowed to be sold from the
news stands in the city; it
seems that authorities with
some sense of morality would
have forbidden it long ago.
Even the foremost and influ-
entail men in the city have for
years witnessed this spectacle
without. being able or willing
to do anything about it.
However, at last there comes
from a rather unexpected
source protest that sweeps
away this scandal in a day, be-
cause of the information it
brought forth-an astounding
information about combina-
tions between factions in this
city-unheard of and down
right dumbfounding revela-
tons. And yet one man nearly
lost his life in the attempt to
get rid of the scandal.
In the last analysis the accu-
sation must be directed against
this one point:
1t is the city's own citizenry
with church people and minis
ters at the head which to a ter
rifying extent, must bear the
blame. And in this last analysis
also, from them the relief must
come"

ton YOU ever had offered.
I'm going to sell you share

Here's the proposition:
The Saturday Press has
started a campaign against the
vilest gang of rascals that ever

result of it's campaign, one of
it's editors has been shot and
the other is almost daily threat

still the paper appears.

pose Of this gang of hellions,

the paper still appears.
The police chief illegally
barred the Saturday Press from

Two or three ministers have

president Coolidge's call fo'
ten million dollars to relieve
distress in the Mississippi valley
flood district should be given 2
hearty and generous reception.
The need is great. Men who
have surveyed the region say thai
years Of progress have been wiped

In a case like this, we who are
more fortunate cannot hesitate.
We are a rich nation, and we have
a reputation for generosity. There
is but one answer we can make to
this appeal. We must give. It has
been suggested that the Kenne-
wick district quota can be raised
if every family will contribute but
one dollar. Don't let this work

Very great obstacles indeed are
required to stop one if he is de-

that all great men in history are
those who wanted to do a particu-

opposition. If you want to do a
thing but can't find the means fol

THE WORTHWHILENESS OF

: : man, having put his hand tt

seems to us that it might be safe
to add, is not fit for the earth
either.
This little verse, the last in the
ninth chapter of Luke, shows plain
ly that the wisest teacher of all
time had no use for the halfway
man, the fellow who intends well
but continually finds an excuse to
procrastinate. But such persons
are numerous. There are lots of
them right here in Kennewick. On
every street corner one may hear
the most wonderful improvements
discussed. Around the rumny tab
les many marvellous aircastle is
built, perfected and promptly for
gotten.
Why are not these suggestions
carried out? OF course some of
them are not practical, but many
are. The reason is that those who
have made the suggestions have
put their hand to the pillow, but
have looked back. Something in
their character was lacking. There

THE understanding is said to b.
= that the next work in order OF
the Yakima irrigation project vii
be that on the Kennewick division
So far as this newspaper can see,
there is no objection to that except
one, as there never was but one
objection to the preference the de-
partment gave to the Kittitas unit.
That objection is that all this
work ought to be moving along
together. The policy of completing
the Yakima project is settled. If
so there should be no delay any
where down the line. There are
some special reasons for early re-
lief for the Kennewick division.
People down there are paying
heavy overhead charges and are
not getting water enough, and if
something is not done the devel-
opment of the district will be SER
iously interfered with. Some land
may be abandoned unless assur-
ances can be had that a water
supply ample for its needs can be
had at an early date. There is a
tendency to urge putting large
amount of money, and as we think
an unnecessarily large amount, in
the Gle Elum storage. Water for
the Kittitas project, sufficient for
its needs, has been arranged for.
There is no apparent pressing ne
cessity for spending great sums
on these storage works at the mo-
ment. Something might be done
for the Kennewick division, and
for our part we would be willing
to see a considerable sum which
might go to the storage works, put
on that part of the project. DR..

To Whom it May Concern:
I am publishing this letter to
see if a grievous wrong cannot be
righted.
This week while travelling near
the Herman Englke place above
Richland, saw a dead cow in the
river. This is above the Kennewick
water supply intake. This cow and
some others. because some sheep
herders, in running these cattle off
the range, ran them to death.
These poor people who live along
the range land. have some of it
rented and are using it for spring
range for their cows. The sheep
men in order to get these cows
off the range, ran them long dis
tances until some of them became
exhausted and died as a result.
1 think this is a wrong which
the public should right somehow.
These are poor people. and great
wrong is done to them because of
these unlawful practices of the
sheepmen.
