Ono fellow did it because bis uncle bad n street named after him. Tho aviator is the true idcnlist; at least bis view point is the highest. The trouble with many promisiup young men is that they are merely promising young men. STOll of relief goes up H! Nelson has left town. The fsiot that iModford is si ill linuorinir in (he vill age era alone accounts for the attention showered upon this illiterate wearer of diamonds and professional bruiser of men, now eligible for the "has been" club. Of all the heroes ever conjured out of the gutter, Hat Nelson is least to be admired. With the social self asser tiveness that onR dense ignorance produces, he combine a penuriousuoss rarely seen outside a pawn shop, both delightful traits. Mayor Canon acted wisely in forbidding future prize fights in Modford. It is a mistaken idea to think that pugilism is even a commercial benefit to the community. U is not, any more than gambling is. King contests create no wealth, bring in no wealth, but take wealth out Nelson leaves- with over $800 of Modford money. And what has Modford in return1? Nothing, save an unpleasant recollec tion, a lowered moral tone and a loss of self respect. There was a time when humanity gloried in the spec tacle of men, women and children being torn to bloody shreds by wild beasts, when the shrieks of victims cruci fied and burned alive were music to the oars of spectators? and when countless devises giving forth the groans of the tortured gave joy to the multitude. Those times fled long since with the mental development of the race. Pug ilism, alone remains to signal the survival of tho old bar baric bruitc instinct, and it is dying. It is now in the class whose intellectual development fits it the negro. Tts evil influence is recognized by the ban placed upon it in all civilized countries. xVll professional sport becomes sooner or later crooked. The introduction of the mercenary motive demoralizes it. And of all the crooked, twisted sport, pugilism is the crook eldest. There may be honest ring battles but they are few and far between. So pugilism is not onlv a survival of barbarism but a re vival of crookedness. Yet the nation that rewards a Bat Nelson with diamonds permits an Edgar Allen Poo to die of starvation!.

Sometimes, in the depths of the forest when nature is at its best' I have reached the conclusion that the world could get along without base ball. Now wo read of a woman who had her two sons arrested because they slept when they should have been meeting her at the train. That's the correct attitude; when n man sleeps have him pinched. It may be that Arizona will have tho chanco to choose statehood or recall of judges. Let's hope Arizona doesn't flinch.

THAT the Southern Pacific is to punish Grants Pass for having demanded that streets across the right-of-way be opened, is the astonishing admission of Station Agent T. M. Isham of Grants Pass, as reported in the Rogue River Courier. A survey is said to have been started from Merlin to tho coast with the declared intention of taking away the terminal from Grants Pass. Mr. Isham is quoted as fol lows: "A few days after the city's suit was filed calling con demnation proceedings to open more streets, Manager O'Brien stopped off here a few minutes en route to San Francisco and said to me, 'What's the matter? "Wljat's the matter?' I replied that T didn't know except that the city council seemed determined to cut into our property. Mr. O'Brien replied with heat that he wouldn't stand for it, that he would take the terminal away from here and would spend no more mono' in Grants Pass." "A route from Merlin into Illinois valley will eliminate the big hill which would be on a route from Grants Pass, and as the company will not tolerate this suit of the city the company is not in a hurry to put any more money into Grants Pass." Asked by The Courier if he objected to being quoted in the matter LV. Isham said: "Not at all; print it." lie con tinued: "A line from Merlin will also give the Southern Pacific more terminal ground, something the company will not have here with streets cutting through its yards. "Regarding moving the present terminal to Glendale instead of at Grants Pass, I can say that it will take $5,000 monthly from Grants Pass, and this jumping on the South era Pacific and other people who have invested capital will bear bitter fruit." This will be read with astonishment. That a railroad company should exhibit such petty spite against one of the communities along it, is astonishing. That such a co ercion should be attempted is almost unbelievable. Having been whacked on both cheeks, Grants Pass will probably get busy and find a third for the Southern Pacific to slap.
