FOLLOWING THE FIGHT GAME.
Pugilism is not a bad sport. It Is not any rougher than football and not so dangerous as automobile racing. Laying aside all jokes, it may
rightfully be called the "manly art of self defense." It is the toughs, barflies, bullies, booze soaks and pickpockets who com
pose a large part of the following of the fight game which put it in dispute
In England prizefighting Is not the sport of the underworld as It sometimes is here. There, the patrons of the sport are the best citizens of the
community. The spectators are about on a par with those seen at the
average baseball game. But here in America we surround the sport with
80 many features that are revolting that pugilism has been practically leg
islated out of existence.
A young tough mug from the stock yards district ambles across th ring, and announcer shouts: "Gentlemen, I take pleasure in introducing
Kick Roughouse who challenges any one in the world at 133 pounds," and Nick awkwardly uncovers his head and bows to the crowd. Previous to
his introduction to the sporting world, Nick had probably been able to "clean up" on most of the newsboys in his neighborhood, hence his standing in
Fistiana.
The custom of having a winner's and a loser's purse takes the sport
out of the realm of amateur contests and makes pugilism a profession. It
ceases to be a contest for the sport of it and becomes a fight for money and the stakes are often high.
Following the fight game involves association with dissolute characters of the worst type. If it were possible to eliminate the objectionable features of the sport, if the fighting game was so hedged In by restrictions that people would know that It was absolutely on the square; if the sport would be put on the same high plane as baseball, our national sport, then it would be worthy of the patronage of every blue blooded gentleman in the country.

HEALTH CRUSADE COMMENDABLE. - Whatever may be said of the campaign of the city board of health of Gary for pure milk, Ice and other food-stuffs, City Health Officer Millsfonc, Deputy Charles Muller and Healthy Matron Mrs. Charleton are to be congratulated for the effective work in bringing these products up to the standard. A number of law violators have been arrested, some of them have been fined and other cases have been dismissed, but all of this serves as a warning in the future. It is not the disposition of the health board to arrest these violators without cause. They have been previously warned and If they do not heed the warnings then Is the time to take more drastic action. Conditions in Gary, in bakeries, dairies, etc., have been revolting and many cases of sickness have been attributed to these causes. The death rate during the month of May shows that sickness has decreased to a minimum, where last year at thi3 time there was several cases of typhoid fever and other diseases of like nature. Gary does not want anything but the best. The best is what the people pay for, and it is what they 6hould have. Let the health board continue its present campaigns so that the city may be a model In health as well as other things.
YES, IT WAS AWFULLY MEAN. It was real mean of the Central Labor Union of Indianapolis to pass a vote of censure on Governor Marshall for his part in the "kidnapping" of McNamara, the alleged dynamiter. Doesn't the union remember that the governor said he was sorry, that he wouldn't have done it had he known it was offensive to the union and that he will not do it again? Doesn't the union realize that a candidate for president with a vote of centure from labor hanging to his coat tails is seriously handicapped? Crawfordsville Journal.

4 THE most fun in gardening is to let your neighbor make one while you stand by to watch and tell him what to do. SO far Mr. Delano of the Wabash has not succeeded in chastening the newspapers that is, not so that you could notice it. NOTE that a hundred dollars cow choked to death on a penny potato. The cow had no eyes. The potato had. The ayes have it. v 4 WHEN a woman hasn't a "hired

one she boosts the co-operative kitch-1 en idea and there you are. THAT awful noise just as you were packing up for your summer vacation is Alderman Castleman asking one of the peepul for a chew of fine cut. AMONG the other fine things that Indiana has to brag of is the palatial French Lick gambling house patronized by men, women and children. GARY has established a public bathing beach. The city administration will probably be first customers to wash out Its linen. Huntington Herald.
