They -must be thinking of the old-time prize fights when bruisers battered each other with bare fists all day long and the final decision was given as often by the coroner as by the? referee. He does not have to be a modern Methuselah to recall the time of hundredround contests that were veritable battles. As for the pugilistic encounters of the eighteenth century, they were Invariably conducted eurreptit iously. the subscribers only being notified at the last moment as to the location, usually some field in a remote rural district, because of the danger of a fatal result which would involve all the spectators before the law. The Greeks seem to have been the first boxers on a scientific basis. They deemed it as unfair to hit below the necks as we do to hit below the belt. The Romans borrowed the idea cf pugilism, but brutalized it into tho gladiatorial contests. Merely using the bare fi.ts for fighting seemed too tame and so they put swords into the hands of their professional entertainers and urged them to kill each other. They used boxing gloves, too, but for the purpose of making the sport more dangerous. The ceetus, or leather glove, was packed with lead. They lso employed a sort of brass knuckles. The use of these weapons encouraged slugging instead of science. As for the modern sparring competition, such as MeBrs. Dempsey and Carpentier after much solicitation consented to engage in on July 2, if is difficult ot know -whether to classify it as a social rr a financial event. We read of well known "society women" having reserved seats at the ring-side and of pink teas which Mr. Carpentier has graced with his presence. We are also regaled from day to day with tempting Items concerning the vast sums of money to be awarded the debaters and the manager of this interesting intellectual contest. One gleans the general idea that if either gentleman snould so forget himself as to hit the other "real hard," rie will be expected promptly to. apologize. Mr. Carpentier, we are informed, hopes to win through purely psychological" methods and a part of Mr. Dempsey 's training consists of learning the rudiments of the French language bo that he will be able ot converse courteously with his opponent in the intervals between the rounds. It is said that Mr. Dempsey has never been in France, thus missing the opportunity, wjiich so many cf our soldiers enjoyed, of picking up a few words of the language. Returning o the subject of "brutality" No one need have the slighest fear of buying a front feat on this account, for the partisans of both performers are vociferously confident that neither will suffer the least injury when they meet to decide an important question on the afternoon of July 2.

to shoot and were prepared In the chances of war to be shot who lost their lives. In the same 19 months VI, 000 persons, many of them women and children, practically all of them innocent of any purpose to kill and certainly innocent of any impending imminence of being killed, were slaughtered by automobiles in the United States. The machine of peace killed twice as many in the same time as the machines of wartime iiie-destruction. in one case the business was done with death in sight; in the other there was the presumed condition of safety and protection. The machine of pleasure, of commerce cr transportation slew more than twice as many victims as the god of war. This is an appalling record. Yet the automobile is not to be condemned. The heart of the menace is the ignorant or criminally careless driver of the potential juggernaut. The remedying of the condition, the changing of the startling figures which make the casualty list horrifying, is the plan which will make, as nearly as possible, all drivers of machines careful. In Seattle. Washington, at a sharp curve on a prominent thoroughfare, nailed to a tree is a great sign in black and white, with the black predominating. On this is the folowing inscription, in letters so large that lie who runs any sort of car in the vicinity may read md go slowly and cautiously: "Twelve-year-old-boy killed by automobile here, March 29. 1921. Dr. W. H. Corscn, coroner." ,, a At many another place in and around Seattle such signs are erected warnings and grim reminders. They are full of horror, those cold records.,. They are steadily Increasing in number but not so rapidly as when the firbt few were set up. If the slaughter by autos in t'ie hands of drunken drivers, Irresponsible children, criminally careless automobilists continues and if -he Seattle plan should be universally adopted, the country would soon like a Flanders field, studded with its thousands upon thousands of white crosses. ,

AGREEMENT AS TO RUSSIA When Victor lierger, Morris Hillquit and others f their beliefs repudiate the Third Internationale o? Mcscow. which is but a Bynomym for the gang that is conducting affairs in Russia, the situation in Muscovy is bad indeed. The Socialist Party of the United States in convention at Detroit by a vote of 35 to 4 refused to affiliate with the Russian organization. Heretofore the American Socialists have exhibited sympathy with the soviet idea bu even they appear to have discovered that the Russians have taken a course that, is impossible to Indorse. It was charged that the soviet government had murdered the Socialists of Russia and had become a wrecking crew bent ou the destruction cf Socialist parties throughout the world. Victor Berger inveigled against a directorship and Hillquit declared that the Russian Internationale is imperialism in disguise. Thus, when these eminent disciples of their perverted doctrines denounce affairs in Russia all the evidence is in. Nothing more need be said. The "Bir Bill" Haywcods are the only ones left to support ana" defend the Russian regime. It is not proletarian; it is imperialistic. It Is dictatorial, not in the interests of the workers. The Socialist and the capitalist have agreed on he statement of fact. Further argument is needless.

GRIM REMINDERS The figures recently promulgated indicate that in 19 months there were 45,000 men, Americans who went to France In the fighting business who went

The Democrats who were so set against going to war are now determined to keep the country out of ; eace.
