American People Degenerating Into
A Purely Commercial Race
1
AS we look back over history we see the stars of nations rise and fall,
/A the fail coining after the rise to a commanding height. The
Slavic race has not seen its rise to power yet, but the Slavs will
be the coming nation of the earth, while ours is destined to be a commer
cial nation, one of the meanest of types.
IN A COMMERCIAL NATION EVERYTHING IS PLACED ON A COM
MERCIAL BASIS. THE DOLLAR RULES THE NATION.
We have seen a most remarkable rise in this country, a remarkable
progress particularly in medical and health lines. We must get the in
terested co-operation of the public for public health and hygiene or they
will place health considerations secondary to business interests.
Business interests get four times as much from the government for
care and protection of hogs and cal tie as the public health service gets
for the care of human health. Humanity must be put above commerce.
We should have skilled men at work for the public health everywhere,
and each worker should receive a SALARY EQUAL TO THE ECO
NOMIC VALUE OF JUST ONE HUMAN LIFE. THAT IS ONLY
FTVE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
WILLARD TOO BIG
FOR JACK ORION
Little Chance For Conpror ol
Moran to Meet Champion.
BOUT WOULD NOT DRAW.
Fight Experts Figure Indianepolii
Bearcat Could Not Even Jar Title
holder—Latter Could Hold Off Dillon
and Batter Him at Will.
Jack Dillon is a great little fighting
machine. None of the contenders for
Willard’s title seems to have a chance
of taking the Giant Killer's measure,
yet It would he a Joke to match him
with the champion. Such a match
would he a farce as a contest, for, al
though he succeeded In defeating the
overrated Moran as decisively ns Wil
lard did, he has nothing to offset the
gigantic champion's tremendous height,
weight and reach.
Moran's size did not stop Dillon, be
cause the former Is n swinger pure and
simple. It was easy for the little man
with his superior speed to get Inside
the wide sweeps of the Pittsburgher's
right. Put Willard hits straight, and.
unlike Moran, he knows how to box
Ills straight left would he enough to
heat Dillon. lie would he able to place
the palm of his glove on Dillon’s head
and hold him off so far out of reach
that the little man would he as harm
less as though he were tied hand and
foot.
Holding him In that position. Willard
would be able to take free shots at
Dillon's head or body with his right.
It would not be a light at all. Dil
lon’s speed would count for nothing
against a man who knows how to make
his height and reach tell by hitting
straight. Dillon is not a great hitter,
and there is not a single point upon
which to base a hope that he would
beat the champion. The only possible
advantage Dillon could have would he
In the matter of condition, and this
would not be Important, for Willard
rests as he goes along and Dillon would
not be able to make him exert himself
as he did Moran. Dillon knows as
well ns any one that he has not got a
chance, and be probably has no Idea
of looking for a match.
But for the rest of the heavies Dillon
Is bad medicine. He would be able to
break through the rangy Fulton’s de
fense Just as he did when he fought
Charley Welnert. Neither of these two
men curries a heavy enough wallop to
trouble him. When aimed at Fulton’s
glass jaw Dillon’s jarring hooks would
at once assume knockout proportions.
Next to Dillon, Welnert probably Is
the best of the contenders, and the
Newark (N. J.) youngster already has
been defeated twice. Welnert may be
dangerous in a year or so provided he
takes on weight and continues to im
prove. Just now lie wouldn’t have a
reasonable chance.
It is remarkable how good Judges of
fighting men continued to lie fooled by
Moran, who never showed first class
form at any time during his career.
His whole reputation was built on his
two defeats of Jim Coffey, and even
Coffey made him look cheap as long as
the brittle Jawed Irishman was able
to remain on his feet. Moran’s poor
CHARACTER STUDY OF JACK OIL COY
j showing against Willard ought to have
convinced the promoters that he was
not first grade material, yet they guar
anteed him as much money as though
he had won instead of lost.
In the future Moran will have to
fight for much smaller amounts, and
that will mean that he will have to
i fight more frequently if he means to
continue in the game. Moran needs
plenty of work. The easy money he
received in his last few bouts caused
him to change his simple mode of liv
ing, and he was so anxious to main
tain the illusion that he was a star he
did not fight often enough to hold his
form.
Moran was in very poor shape for
his battle with Dillon, but there Is
nothing in the excuse that he under
rated his opponent. He knew that a
defeat by little Dillon would mean hlr
finish.

Present School System
Must Be Modified to
Meet New Conditions
By THOMAS STOCKHAM BAKER,
Head Mailer of Tome School,
Port Deposit, Md.
, > -----»
IT must be confessed that what i
was adequate for the education
of children a generation ago
does not seem sufficient to meet the
needs of a greatly increased mixed
population, with new social and eco
nomic difficulties.
IT LOOKS AS THOUGH IN TIME
IT WOULD BE NECESSARY TO
CREATE A LARGER NUMBER OF
SCHOOLS OF DIFFERENT TYPES.
For those boys and girls who wish
to enter the academic courses in the
more conservative colleges it may be
necessary to add elements in their
instruction which will not be fur
nished by the public schools. At
present the high schools are grow
ing in importance, and possibly, in
the eyes of the school administra
tors, the colleges are decreasing in
importance. IT REMAINS TO BE
SEEN HOW THIS GAP WILL BE
BRIDGED OVER.
We Need a Well Bal
anced Navy With a
Backbone of Dreadnaughts
By WILLIAM E. SIMONS, Writer
on Naval Subjects
at
THE pregnant lesson of the re
cent naval battl? in the North
sea is the imperative need of
dreadnajights. We have some un
surpassed units of the class in our
navy, but we need more. We have
no battle cruisers, and we need
some badly. But it would be a fa
tal mistake to assume that we need
battle cruisers only. THAT CAN
PROCEED ONLY FROM A MIS
CONCEPTION OF THE FUNC
TIONS OF THAT CLASS OF
VESSEL.
That its fighting power under fa
voring conditions is formidable was
conclusively shown in the action off
the Falkland islands and later in
that on the Dogger bank.
BUT THI8 LATEST BATTLE HAS
3HOWN, AS NAVAL EXPERTS
HAVE NO DOUBT FORESEEN,
THEY ARE NO MATCH FOR THE
BATTLESHIP.
TRY A "WANT” AD. IN THE TIMES FOR RESULTS.
