- OItnie eluli members who ye-ter-ilny
watched Champion Willie Kit

were convinced today tlint the cham
pion N on cdpe for hU scheduled
twenty-round tilt lion' Friday even
ing with llnrlcm Tommy Murphy
The champion came in from lii
ciwnp and boxed three rounds with
.luluiny O'Lenry nud two with 1'liil
Xoiiiian tit the I'luh. HU j-kill nnd
tnrtcty of punches nriiuivl much np-plau-c.
Hitchie is n very mueh improved
fighter. Even his enemies are forced
to admit Hint he is at lea-t :i0 pot
cent hettcr than when he won (lie
title from Ad Voljjnt. When the
championship changed hands Ritchie
fhnwed little except n riht eros.
Now he dUplnyw n left rip, with lols
of force hehind it, tinil n splendid
riht iipiwrcut. 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.

prints ('oupcssiuan Ilawlcy's telegram, assort injr. with
Ilawloy's usual hrass. that ho has "socurott" MotU'onl's
woathor bureau, and tho Sun therefore advises people that
tho issue is settlotl and that there is no further need of
local action in tho matter. Ilawloy's telegram reads:

This was at my reorient and I have pending tho itmwthm of pathological

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.

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. Tbuy saw tlioin first, That Is why tliu

It. And tbat Is why Now Kuglund Is tho last to feel It. (Vermont and
