NOT AN EASY ROAD

Those who may cry 81 told you So" upon reading
that probation has been granted to Mrs Pantages,
might do little investigating before they yell charges
of favoritism in connection with her punishment.
Ten years on probation is not easy sentence. For
a who formerly occupied the social position of
Mrs. Pantages it is severe punishment She must not
drive her any other, not drink any
Intoxicating liquor and must obey all the laws during
her probationary period, the least infraction auto
maticaliy making the to 10 years prison
hanging over her, mandatory.
Rightly the court decreed that she must pay all
damages connection with the accident which caused
the death of japanese gardener because of her neg
gence, and she must make ample financial provision
for his family.
There is reason to doubt that Mrs. Pantages is
very sick woman She suffered injuries the acci-
dent, and her experiences since then have been
conducive to increasing her illness than to help her
recover her health.
Convicted of felony herself she has witnessed also
the conviction of her huband despcable charge,
douby so to her who stands before the world as his
wife The shame that is at present burden on her
shoulders is not likely to become eased Instead there
may be many times during the next 10 years when she
would gladly be in the solitude of prison cell at San
Quentin rather than forced to face the stares and
remarks of the morbid and cruel public.
To send her to prison might satisfy relatively
small minority, but feel certain the ma Ority of
California people agree that Judge Hardy has done
the best thing.

raving so much about this Tommy

got into the ring and he shot dirty

the fight to Jimmy says to my.
self, Bill old boy, YOU are a wizard
if you can tell which one Of these
guys won. 1t locked to me like they
both wen, but If somebody said to
me who would you rather have pound
YOU for six rounds, Jimmy or Jess.
I'd take jess, because guess he
didn't do as much hitting as Jimmy.

my stuff with, but j lost it early
in the game and scratched down
with one claw, which was dirty
enough to make a mark. After puz-

has to stay away or take me. for

This here main event was good
scrap, but Tommy was just too good
for Pedro. He'd have knocked him
for row of tin shantics. Tommy
