A MISINFORMED EDUCATOR. A PUBLIC1 educator should first lake tho troulilo to h'imi about a nmttrr oout'oruiui? which ho oxprossos an opinion. This little formality anponrs to havo boon nolootcd by Dr. blix Adlor of tho Now York Kthioal Culture society. !In an address dolivorod at Cincinnati, he was reported by tho Tinies-Htar to have made the fol lowing remark: "We cannot, govern by initiative and referendum en tirely. We must retain the legislative authority." Then further on in his address he is reported to have said: "If it is intended to substitute the initiative and ref erendum for tho legislatures then the ixovernment will revert to tho rule of the minority." Does Dr. Adler know any place in the United States where advocates of the initiative and referendum want to abolish legislatures? It is needless to say that ho does not. t is not proposed anywhere that all laws without exception shall be submitted to a popular vote. Yet if Dr. Adler was correctly reported, he must either be under the impression that that is what advocates of direct legis lation propose, or he carelessly expressed himself in a manner that would give that impression to uninformed persons listening to him. If Dr. Adler does not know, he can learn on investi gation that under the initiative and referendum only such laws will be voted on by the people as a certain number of voters demand shall be so submitted. Legislatures will still do business subject only to tho power of the people to veto any of their acts. If Dr. Adler has any criticism to offer on this proposition, he will be within ins rights in so doing, but he is not within them when he pulls apart a man of straw. If he lias been correctly roported. then it would be ungracious to doubt that he will admit his error in as public a manner as he proclaimed it. To think otherwise would be to doubt his fidelity to tho ethical principles he has so long been teaching. Tf he lias not been currectly reported, his devotion to ethical principles will lead him to disavow the statements attributed to him. lest an act ol omission on his part be the means of leading astray voters who have confidence in his judgment. The initiative and referendum is an issue in Ohio. The constitutional convention now in session will surely sub mit the question to the voters. No fair-minded man wants any of the voters to be influenced by arguments based on misconceptions of the question before 'the house or bv misquotations attributed to one presumed to have influence.

KILBANE IS NEIiif CHAMPION Defeats Alio Atlcll After Twenty Full Rounds of Fiyhtlnn Wiley Hebrew Found All of His Tricks Useless. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal., Fob. 2. Johnny Kllbuno today Is llu now feat her weight chsmploa of tho world. After twenty rounds of tho fastest and most solontltlo doxIiik over sunn In a California rlntJ. tho little Clovc Ismlcr outbuxed aud oulgouoraled tho man who had hold tho champion ship slncu ho defeated CoorKO Dixon moro than ten yoors aj;o. Attell satisfied his friends In ono respect that ho ns wllllttn to fight. Ho forced tho paco la most of tho rounds. la tho final rouml, howevor, Kilbane's wondorful speed was uncorked for the limit aud he chased the champion from corner to rorner, landing rollers of lofts and rights to tho head and body. Tho decision was a popular' one. Almost itu mediately tho rlim was overrun with a frcusled crowd of Kllbano's supporters? and tho now champion was carried to his dross ins room on tho shoulders of his friends. Attoll showed to tho best advan tage In tlio twelfth aud tho fifteenth rounds, in those periods ho used every artifice and wllo born of his long years of experience In tho arena. Nearly 10.000 persons woro Jammed Into the arena, while fully 5000 moro were turned away at tho gates. Tho receipts amountod to ap proximately $25,000. Tho men fought for a purso of $10,000, of which Attell was to rocelvo JCB00, win or lose or draw, and Kllbnue $3500. They ugreed to divide even ly the 50 per cent of tho nioxlng pic tures. prlvlIcRO, Attell was clearly outfought. Ills boasted spccil ami wondorful clever ness was not In evidence. Kllbauo made him look like a novlco in near ly every round. In but ono round, tho icvvnth, did Attell have the load, aud this not by any moauB as decla ivo as that of Kllbano In tho remain ing rounds. ' Attell brought tho wrath of the crowd upon his head by foul tactics. Time ami again ho would hold Kllbano's arms in a clinch, and onco In tho olghth ho grabbed Kllbano's loft arm with both hands and tried to bend It back. In tho third h held the C!eo)and boy while In n clinch, and In nearly ovory succeeding round his work caltud forth hlies from tho spectators. In tho seventh. In trying to nvold Kllbano's merciless tattoo on his faco and body, Attell buttod tho Cleveland boy with his head, oponlng n groat gash ovor Kllbano's loft oyo, from which blood spurted freely. At tho beginning of tho sixteenth tho ref oroo grabbed n towel and thoroughly wiped off Attcll's body. It wns scon to bo covered with a greasy sub stance. Attoll protested, but tho ref erco paid no attention to him. E TED FOR PRESIDENCY UIUJNfJS, Mont., Feb. 2.1.
