THE BULL MOOSE TRAIL.
In Michigan eleven Progressive
Republicans boiled I he Republican
legislative caucus and threaten to
prevent the re-election of Senator
William Alden Smith, the Repub
lican choice.
In Maine the Progressive mem
bers of the legislature caucused
with the Republicans and their
voles will make sure the election
to tile Senate of ex-Representa
tive Burleigh, a Republican of I lie
old school.
In New Jersey n meeting of Pro
gressives and Ropuhlicans—one
Progressive ami one Republican
delegate from each coimty--has
been called for this week to ar
range a reunion with the purpose
of re-rapturing the slate from the
Democrats.
Anybody is at liberty to judge
for himself whether the Progi.-s
sives’ light is to go on independ
ent of other parties, or whether,
according to locality, it is a light
for principles or for politics, for
conscience’ sake or for the offices
and spoils.
THE BAN ON PRIZE FIGHTING.
Bills have been offered in I In;
California legislature placing a
ban on prize fighting and indica
tions are that a law will be pass
ed prohibiting this form of sep
arating the public from its money
in order to fatten the purses fit
, the promoters and the moving
picture shows.
The average male citizen re
sents proposed legislation of this
character, chiefly because he
cherishes the opinion that there
should be .no law prohibiting the
education in and demonstration of
the “manly art of self-defense”
and he tries to make himself be
lieve; that the prize fighting of to
day comes under that head.
As a matter of fact, the day of
tin' old honest contest in the
roped arena lias passed, just as
horse racing, “the sport of kings,’’
lias degenerated into a gambling
scheme, run by the,men on the
inside. It is doubtful il there lias
been on honest prize fight in a
dozen years. The men no lougei
match their skill, pride and per
sonal money in a contest. It is
purely an arrangement for a di
vision of I lie gale receipts amt the
advertising that is supposed to
help the winner if he opens a sa
loon or goes on the vaudeville
stage.
II may he that I here will some
day lie a return In the uhl con
tes.ls of skill and -eienee and en
duranee, elements that figure only
lightly, if at all. in tin* socalled
prize lights of today. Profession
al prize fighting has been barred
from most of the stales. (Cali
fornia will lose nothing by join
ing the iist of commonwealths
that have put the ban on this
form of get-rirh-nuick proposi
tions.
EDITORIAL ROTES.

The pardoning craze has taken
apretty strong hold on the gov

There are many kinds of trou

them.
Optimism appears to be the
ruling spirit of the year. Keep
it up, for it is the surest divi
dend payer.
Is there anything more we can
hand over to Senator Hay for
those votes the Valdez candidates
did not get. _
It may have been J. Pierpont
Morgan’s modesty which forbade
him acknowledging the existence
of a money trust. *

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
“Facts A re Facts. ” \
It i a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic. |
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use i
it a few times with your meals and you’ll lind we’re right. |
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to i
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality, i
Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home /
town and all who are interested in th» growth and prosper- j|
ity of Valdez, should patroniz home products. <
