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.
