SAID a fan to me yesterday:

fighters as Billy Madden. Some day Ward will kill a fighter

In the first place Ward is a young fighter, a beginner himself.
But he stands so far out and away from fighters of his own expert
ence that he makes them look bad :.
He Is a cagey youngster, with height, reach and a punch Of n

Ward is a welterweight, but still can be classified as a somewhat

And right now it is too early to begin throwing such a promising
boy into the pit with fully matured, more experienced fighters. 1t is
plain, of course, that the Maddens and the like are not in his class,
are hardly more than a punching bag for the fashy kid -.
Had Dave Miller matched Steele as many wanted him to early

good men and trust them for re-

what is best for the country as
a whole and not selfishly repre-
sent specific groups or commun-
tiles. am convinced that if the
pressure groups would let con-
gressmen alone these representa-
tives would diligently strive along
such lines.
STANDS BEHIND FORECAST
What does all this mean to bus
mess? To me, it means that we
should quit cussing Roosevelt,
Chamberlain, Hitler, Mussolini, and
others for the balance of this
year and settle down to business.
In my January forecast, 1 stated
that 1899 business should average
20 per cent over 1888. Up to the
present time this average shows
an increase of 81 per cent. More
over, if we all forget domestic and
foreign politics for the next six
months, this improvement will con-
tinue for the year. The steels, the
railroads and the building indus
try should be the principal gamers
if business continues to move
ahead this fall.
I have often pointed out that
a period of very few transactions
on the stock exchange is usually
followed by increased activity and
rising prices. We are now wit
Messing such increased activity. If
history repeats itself, we should
see much higher prices for GER
tain stocks. Furthermore, even the
most pessimistic must recognize
that President Roosevelt and his
followers are very anxious for
better business and rising prices
during the next fifteen months.
Certainly, nothing will be done
deliberately between now and No
vember, 194o to upset the business
applicant.
BULLISH ON AUTUMN
OF course, severe unemployment
and mammoth relief spending can
not continue indefinitely without
disaster. Either we must return
to a free market for labor, COM
modities, money, and enterprise,
or else we are headed for infla-
ton and revolution. Such an out
come, however, is no more neces-
sary than is another European
war. But. whatever course we pur-
sue, the final solution is still some
distance ahead. For the moment,
I am distinctly bullish. although
most of my fellow commentators
disagree with me. Perhaps these
rugged rocks and cool breezeS of
Cape Ann have popped me up.
Surely. something has!

Sirius, or a name like that, for Coney Island.
 Annual Excursion
 We, of the younger lot, always saved for this annual excursion, not that we had a great deal when the day arrived, but just about enough for all of us to enjoy a real day of pleasure and amuse- ment.N The leaders of that move ment, such as Jay J. Mcdonald, Jim Freney, James Mcknight and others have all gone their way, while others, much younger, finger still, to now and then recall the happenings of this glorious affair. The trip was long and tiresome, but no one objected; they all en- joyed it, even if arrival home didn't come until early the next morning.
 But it was the time of our life to many of us, because it was the only day in the year that most of us had an opportunity to leave the city.
 Before the St. Joseph,s affairs started, there was a temperance society connected with the Cath olic churches of the city. The members first attended mass at the old Mother church, and then went by train to New Haven for the annual voyage to Savin Rock. Old time families never missed them.
 When we saw the Italians meet as they did, and start off to New York in such great numbers, we wondered to ourselves just what lacks among the Irish of the pres ent day in an effort similar to what used to occur years ago. Surely, there are more Irish now than were here 35 and 40 years ago.
 No Interest Here
 But their meetings and enter tainments are few and far be- tween; they don't seem to be able to muster up sufficient strength to carry out such a plan as the ones of yesterday used to do. For our part, we cannot understand it.
 If there was an Irish day at the Worlds Fair. Waterbury had no part in it. Perhaps, they had no such affair; we don't know.
 But we do know that if such an affair were held, we would go along, the same as we did when the good old St. Joseph organiza- tion was in existence: it seemed to be the then Out East feeling that everybody out here, whether Irish or not, should join with them in all of their celebrations.
 And that is just what all of us outsiders did do.
 Just what is the cause of the apparent indifference?
