Koosevelt, while the latter w Governor of New York, to bos with him at Albany, Prot, Donovan his written an! account of this bout exclusively | for the Evening World.

Therefore his comments on the President, notonly trom a tistic, buttrom a personal standpoint, muy be regarded as exact. Altiorgh the bou: between!

By Prof. Mike Donovan, ES, I boxed three rounds with Y Theodore Roosevelt. and if he can govern as cleverly as he can box this country need not fear so long as ne fa in the White Houre Ho was not President when he and I boxed.

Dr. George S. Rainsford, in st. Geurge's Church Year Book. Shall the Raines law be repealed or s0 modified that the salé of Hquors in saloons shall be legalized during certain hours on Sunday? No one will deny that there is a growing sentiment in favor of such action. Many persons of strong moral convictions have become con- vinced that the effort to stifle the sale of Iquor on the Sabbath ie not only inexpedient but also unjust to hundreds of thousands of citizens of foreign birth and extraction, whose etandard of morality is as high as that of any of the people of this city. The political leader of this changing sentiment is unquestionably Justice William Travers Jerome. He spoke up unhesitatingly al! during his canvass in favor of greater Uberty in this regard. He condemned the Raines law as an iniquitous piece of legislation, be- cause it discriminates against a busi-| © ness in which a large class of repu- table citizens is engaged. He thinks that this business should be protected as all other businesses are. Since the election he has not abated his position one whit, and he has eaild that he and all the other fusion candidates would stand to- gether in securing remedial legisla- tion. Mayor-elect Seth Low, while not quite so outspoken as Justice Je- rome, has stated his attitude squarely. He snid during the cam- paign that the extreme of the Excise law was the extreme of injustice. » He pledged himself to stop the blackmailing of saloon-keepers by the police, and there is no doubt that he will favor a most liberal inter- pretation of the existing law, if be PRESIDENT ROO eee ne ete OROTEOAEsCOs | Prof. Mike Donovan Tells The Evening World How Cleverly He Handled His Fists —The Bout Illustrated. s{ THE WORLD: MONDAY NG, NOVEMBER 11, around the Mn mat in ot «and walls 1 ochites, too wither ery appointment of the t onor toe sae Was as correct ax I could hay planned tt from my own expertence.

PARKHURST FAVORS LAW FOR LIGHT LIQUORS. efeleieleint + Dr. Charles H, Parkhurst—For some time I had contended that cy it would be wise to open the saloons in this clty during certain x hours on Sunday. A minimum of law enforced is better than a maximum of law unenforced. In dealing with the Excise law In this clty the large foreign population must be borne in mind. Persons raised abroad are accustomed to having their drinks at certain hours on Sunday, and they will have them here. It Is bet- ter that they should obtain their drinks legally than that they should be forced to violate the law In gaining their ends. You may put me down as in favor, under the present conditions, of a more Hberal Sunday Excise law. But I would restrain the sale of liquor at such times to light drinks—light beer, light ales and Nght wines, Ki I do not believe whiskey, brandy and other hard liquors should be sold on Sundays.
