1 | | SUMMER FAILS TO DAMPER FIGHT TALK By HAL SHERIDAN. The advance signs of coming sum- mer seem not to deter the fight bugs Straw hats are as common as flies in August along Broadway now but the indoor winter sport is claiming more than its share of attention. Every- where there is an undercurrent of talk about the big fighters, and final- 1y the discussion always leads around to the question: When and who will Jess Willard mix it with? That seems to be of more interest to the Broad- way fight sport than anything on the calendar just now. And Billy Gibson’s request for $10,000 for Jim Coffey’s end in a match with Charley Weinert has stifred the unsettled waters anew. Jack Bulger, Weinert’s manager, re- plied he was willing to split that figure. But Gibson can hold out, for Coffey is worth all he can get and would prove a mighty good drawing card in such a match. Of course, the talk of this meeting Willard right soon is a little premature, but Cof- fey ought to be able to hold his own with Weinert. But the big idea in Gibson’s mind e e Specials for Friday and Saturday Pumps 35 pairs gunmetal pumps, tan strap slip- pers and white button oxfords $1.48 Juliets Rubber heel house slipper, patent strap slip- pers, sizes 2 1-2 to 5 98¢ Sandals 40 pairs barefoot san- dals, and strap slippers, sizes 3 to 11, also a baby shoe up to size 5, any- thing in the lot, per pair 65¢ Boys’ School Shoes 50 pairs good solid gunmetal school shoes, button- and blutcher, sizes up to 5, per pair $1.48 Ladies’ White Buck _ 14 batton boot, cap toe, fancy perforated quarter, Cuban heel, regular $4 seller, Friday and Saturday at $2 35 Men’s Kid Dress Shoe Wide easy last and looks well on the foot, at $2.65 THE BARGAIN STORE South of Grand Theatre SMBATIIRAE W OE P R TR R XTI P is that Coffey is in training for a match with Willard—sometime. The date is not of much importance for the big champion is not anxious' to display his wares in the roped ring just yet, but when he is prepared {o come out into the ring again Jim Coffey expects to be sitting inside the ropes waiting for Jess. So Gibson wants Coffey to meet.all comers until the big time arrives, when his fighter will be in condition to stand up to the ‘champ. Billy Gibson is a_ crafty. manager but it will take some clever work to force the big Kansas cowboy champ into the ring before he wants to. However, unless Gibson and Bulger come to terms there is not much chance of Coffey meeting Weinert. The Broadway Sporting club wanted the match as Coffey is a favorite of the New York fight “bugs” just now. A regular vanload of trouble has been wished on McGraw and he can- not seem to dump it. Fred Snod- grass is sorely missed by the New York team, for outfielders who can both field and hit are at a premium just now. Fred’s sore hand must be practically well, and he should be back in the game soon. But picking out the Giants’ troubles is small work these days. They are so plentiful they jump right up in your face. In fact, the old time stars are neck deep in a sea of misfortune. The recent winning of the Modified Marathon in New York by Hannes Kolehmanien seems not to disecourage local runners. Almost nightly a score of white pants and bare legs can be seen running around New York’s well known parks. What these promising athletes are training for is unknown. Perhaps they are preparing for next year’s marathon. TRANSPORTATION DAY AT THE EXPOSITION San Francisco, May 21.—Evolu- tion in transportation will be demon- strated at the Panama-Pacific expo- sition today when Transportation Day is celebrated. The feature of the proceedings is to be a procession. At the head will march a semi-nude savage, carrying a basket on his head, as an example of the most primitive form of .transportation known. In the rear of the parade will come an aeroplane of the latest model, showing transportation in its highest development. Limousines, locomotives, stage coaches, bicycles, model ocean liners and all other forms of vehicle are to have their place in the procession in the order of their evolution. FORMERLY A CONDUCTOR Badger, Minn, May 21.—Rev. Callie E. Saunders, “conductor” of the Methodist Episcopal church here —and said by his distriet superin- tendent to be one of the most promis- ing ministers of the district—was a former railroad conductor. For years he made couplings of cars in flying switches. Now he’s making coup- lings of humans, but more quietly, and the only thing upon which he gets to throw a switch is as he says it “to throw a switch to place some human on the track of virtue.” BROOKLYN’S BIG PAGEANT New York, May 21.—The twenty- third regiment armory, at Bedford|’ avenue and Pacific street, will be the scene tonight of a giant indoor pageant of early American history. The principal guests will be school children from the public and high schools. The purpose of the pageant is to keep fresh in the minds of the younger generation the great events of this country’s early history. WILSON TO FAVOR PENSIONS ‘Washington, D. C., May 21.—Pres- ident Wilson will advocate a system of civil service retirement pensions in -his next message to congress, ac- cording to the opinion expredsed by the delegates assembled here today for the annual convention of the United States Civil Service Retire- ment association. Many Good Dogs Held. - Several dogs of excellent breed have been captured by the dog catcher and are now held in the city pound. Chief Ripple urges the pur- chasing of tags for these dogs as it ‘would be a loss to have them disposed of in the same manner as the worth- less mongrels. The town of Simla, India, is built on the side of a steep hill, and the roof of one house is often on a level with the foundation of onme on the next terrace. Under the auspices of a govern- ment bureau Chinese carp will be imported into Philippine waters where there is a dearth of food fish. House Moving, Buid- ing, Gonrete Work Ec. L. H.

This country is suffering more from tainted politics than .from any other malady at the present time. There is scarcely a campaign speech made; & |- platform demand written or a ' mea- carry the taint of personal gain of some politician or political faction thereof. = . There 18 more “blue sky” in cam- paign promises of many politiclans running for office than was ever con- |- tained in thé prospectuses of the bold- est promoters of chimerical business schemes. There are more secret coi binations formed by politicians in the name of “My Country” than were ever formed under any and all other aliases. There are more political re- bates hidden in the phrage “Be it en- acted” than were ever concealed un- der any and all other disguises. The- inordinate thirst for political power and unrestrained passion for mastery has caused more distress in this nation than the greed for gold, and it ought to be regulated by law. No business combination ever pursued | their .competitors as_relentlessly or|" visited more heartle: their customers than that seeks to make junk” of an fin: dustry, or cripple a business for party success, -through tariff measures, po- litical supervision and ofstimes de- structive legislation. ~Many political platforms are as alluring to the voter as the story of the rainbow with its pot of gold and .their consummation about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the first law in politics. There are ‘many men in office’ today who, if they] could not shake plums off the tree of American liberty or cut a melon taken from Uncle Sam’s commissary, would have less desire to serve the public. The country is surfeiting with pat ots, who will bare their breast to bul- lets in' defense of their country, but there are few men.in public life who will bare their. breast to. vote: the gauntlet of party disfave fense of agriculture or indus ry.. No representative of the people, who will cruelty ‘upon’ Jjustice, party success to disfranchise reason or the rancor ‘of a -political campaign to influence judgment can| render capable service. The preservation of our prosperity depends upon wisdom, courage and honesty in government, and the Amer- ican -voter should seek these attri: butes as implicitly as the Wise Men followed the Star of Bethlehem and they will often be found to rest over the stable; the plow or the staff of portant elements are most abundant upon the farm, and when ' farmers, bankers and merchants are elected to membership in legislative bodies, much of the trouble in government will dis- appear. 3 . WTERED By Peter Radford.

There I8 as;much water in a farmer's note drawing eight.or ten per cent interest when other lines of industry secure money for four or five per cent per annum, as thete is in a business pay- ing a reasonable compensation upon the face value .of securities repre- senting- an investment ‘of only ‘fifty cents on-the dollar..

There may be industries that cry.louder but none that suffer more severely from finan- cial immorality in both law and cus- tom than that of agriculture. The farmefs of America today are paying $200,000,000 per annum in usury on real -estate and chattel loans; and this interest capitalized at five per cent, represents $4,000,000,- 000 of fictitious values which the farm. =r i paying interest on.
