After finUhiiifr hU work at the Olympic chili Ritchie weighed exactly l.'l.'i jounR 'i feci hettcr than I ever did," he Paid. "Today I will do n little box iiifr. hut nothing rouh. I could not hu in better shape for a match than I am right now, and 1 don't want tr take any chance." Manager Jim Ruekley also was riitli"intic over .Murphy's condi tion. "There is not n lightweight in the world, in tny opinion, who can heat Murphy as he stands today." said Ilnekley. ''Tommy say he never -felt better in his life, nnd I nm certain that the championship will change hand)'. All I hope U that the bct man win- and that there will be no hitches this time." The belling' remained at 2 to J, with Ritchie on the long end. Kveu money was offered that the cham pion will stop the Sew Yorker within ten rounds. It was expected that the odds would ho 10 to 3 at ring time. CARPENTER DEFEATS PAIUS.

Ilawloy's telegram reads: WasulnRtoti, 1). C, April II. The Mcdford Sun. MmUord, Oregon. Tho departtnont of nRrleulturo nfflrma this. An official from tho I'ortlnnd office has been tomporarlly nttdgned to MtMlfonl durlnu frost period of thl ear and In tho uiwutunc arrange tnnnu will be made for the selection of a permanent official as Mod ford utal Ion will bo continued as an all 3car round meteorological station. This was at my reorient and I have pending tho itmwthm of pathological expert also. W. C. 11AWI.KY. "Whereupon tho Sun. in its anxiety to push the Ix'ovor oinl llawloy into the limelight, says: Sending lettors to Kane and ChamherUIn can do no harm of coursn and when It is finally announced that the weather bureau Is to romatu In Mrtlford thefo to getlomon can take the credit for putting It through. The nml of such an appeal Is now shown to be imood. Moreover If Mcdford wants nnv tiling again In Washington It might ho well to at least recognise Congressman llawloy considering the fact that he has done more for this district than Chamberlain and l.nno combined. The facts of the matter are that tho existing arrange ments, to which Congressman llawloy alludes, wore per fected before he knew anything about the subject, which does not Uoep him from claiming all the credit, though in tins instance lie does not know enough about tlio subject to Kimw mat there ts no credit, noeause the department is doing just what Alodford does not want done. What the department plans to do is set forth bv Acting Secretary Oallowav as follows in a letter dated a week before the Commercial club's request reached llawley: "lion. Geo. K. Chamberlain, "United States Senate. "Mr Dear Senator. "Iteferrlng to your letter of March 27 relatlvo to the supposed removal of the weather bureau station at Mcdford, Ore., t tako pleasure In assuring you that while action has been taken to change tho Instrumental equip ment of this station, the value of tho services rendered to Mcdford nnd vicinity will In no way be detrimentally affected. Kvery effort Is being made by tho weather bureau to mnlntaln the valuable frost-warning service In this section without Interruption, nml pending the selection of some perfectly competent local representative of the bureau one of In trained officials will manage the station until the frost season has passed "Very respectfully. "II. T GAl.l.OWAY. "Acting Secretary." "What Medford wants is a weather bureau. What it is proposed to make it is a co-operative meteorological sta tion with a volunteer observer, who will draw a salary of $10 a month during the frost period. Nearly all the equip ment will be removed and the value to the community will be nil. It is therefore a grave matter of public concern that our representatives at Washington be immediately notified that Mcdford needs a weather bureau, not a me teorological station, and exert all influence possible to force a change of program. This is not a question of politics at all. Tt is a question of securing a weather bureau for Mcdford and of doing it now, for once the expensive paraphernalia in the office is removed it will be ten times as difficult to get it back. Mr. JTawley deserves credit for what he does, or rather attempts to do, but he claims credit for everything done by the entire delegation, and for results he had no part in accomplishing. His unscrupulousness is shown in the parade of his conceit and bombastic egotism mo every occasion, such as in this weather bureau matter, when he brazenly and with finality announces, " I done it," without comprehending what he was requested to do. worhiHa In thojull! and gteut Industries of all New IJnitland are restless mil radical, lint these me foreigners. The proaiossho motion In New Knn bind N not radical; It i.n more conservative than the west, and In two states, Connecticut and Vermont there In all tho nppeniaiico of political and social death. There Is little vital deindcracv In them, Theie Is llltlo Mtntllv of any soil TIumo Is degeuerao ! mil onl. political, moral and menial but physical. Statistics show Insanity mid direct lntiulr the most abnormal se decadence, .... Is it any wonder the west is iiisurgiug Fine English Made Finer DECADENT NEW ENGLAND A FEW davs ago the Pacific coast was viewed with alarm bv Life, because of its efforts to romodv the political abuses of the nation and make the United States a better place to live in. Life said among other things: Tho wholo shore Is just now a sociological museum and laboratory of political experiment, run as though the wholo world was nowly made and civilization was In Its first stages of discovery. It must bo trying to that part of tho coast population that doog not caro to llvo In trees and has prejudices In favor of social order, but no doubt It Ik a passing phase, and tho coast will como In Unto Into enjoyment of its share, of tranquillity. Life evidently views the nation with that tranquillity that comes from organized and perfected political corrup tion, that complacency which comes from civic and polit ical decay dying, and unaware of it. How the effete cast, particularly New England, ap peal's to a skilled observer familiar with all portions of the United States is set forth in the April Metropolitan by Lincoln Steffens. ''New England," says Mr. Steffeus, "is the darkest part of the country." Proceeding, he speaks of the corruption of the land of the Puritan and Pilgrim fathers, including "trusted Uoston and exploited Massa chusetts; drunken prohibitionist Maine; rich, little, old, purchasable Rhode Island: beautiful, dviuir Vermont and New Hampshire, and meanest, crookedest Connecticut." Jle says: New England, as I said bnforo, Is tho darkest part of tho L'nltnd States. It Is corrupted from top to bottom. Tho pcoplo aro corrupted. In Ithodo Island and Connecticut, In Vermont, .Now Ilumpshlro and Maluo, and In parts of .Massachusetts, voters tako cash bribes at tho polls. This Is tho fioxt to tho last stage of political corruption. Legislators aro iur chased everywhere In tho I'nltml Stains, Tho oletted roprofccntatlvos of tlio people sell them out In nil parts of tlio ceuntry: and that Is bud enough. Ho long, however, as tho pcojni are sound, there's a chance for loyal Icudur- slilp and reform. Hut when tho pcoplo thomselveH sell themselves out for monn, there Is little hope left. That means that corruption, which begins at tho top--which begun centuries before nomocracy wbh thought of tho corruiitlon of the neoulo ineuns that tho disease which begins on high lias go no all tho way through tho body politic to tho very foundation of society una tno atato. Speaking of the west, which is so objectionable to "Life, "Mr. St off ens says: Tho pcoplo of tho west, being unpaid, nro freo to uco tho system, and tbnv liavo seen certain evils of It.
