Jim's Fifty-third Sumnner. Just before the melancholy days each year we celebrate the natal clay of our ever interesting friend, James J. Corbett. Authorities disagree whether Corbett was born in San Francisco or vice versa, for some 1 claim it is "Gentleman Jimn" who put the metropolis on the map. At any i rate, no event except perhaps the fire, ever gave the golden gate city the publicity that Jim's birth has given it. It was Sept. 1, 1866, that Jim entered the IU. S. A. via the golden gate and announced to his mother, who was preseut at his birth. that he didn't like to have people stand in front of him. At that very moment., on the other side of North America there was an eight-year-old boy by the name of Johnnie Sullivan running about the streets of Boston. Some 26 years later the clever lad of the west and the mighty man of the east were to meet in the far south. New Orleans, for the all American battle tlhat was to end the career of one, and raise the other to the greatest popularity ever attained by any boxer. As a professional boxer. the con queror of Sullivan brought about a return to the old Mace style of clever, sleedy work, in which brain counts for as much as durability and slug ging power. He was a imaster of self defense. and his style of fighting did mucll to rehabilitate the game in popular favor. Since his retirement from the ring Corbett has been almost constantly' on the stage, and he has made a for tune out of his dramatic talent. I-He made his premiere as a star in "Gon tleman Jack," at Elizabeth, N. J., in 1892, and he has apepared in "The Woman and the Burglar," "The Naval Cadet," and oth1er dramas' with pronounced success. ,liim haiS real ability as an actor, and he hasl not depended for his laurels on his pugilistic reputation, as did Sullivan, the hero of "Honest Hearts and Will ing Hands," and other fighters whto have followed the footlights. Corbett is now in his 53rd year, and it is still pleasing to inote that Jim still enjoys public respect. Though Fitz and Jeff have both made hiu bite the diust, no other fighter has displaced hinm in puhlic flaor. Jim has always been clean in the ring and out, and so it, is that we canl never let Sept. 1 pass without our acknowledgements to his true sports manship and his contribution to the elevation of boxing.

SAY YOU SAW IT IN BULLETIN MAJilN TO TAKE THE EASY PATH (By United Press.) New York, Sept. 1.---Jimmy Bron son, the loquacious manager of Bo1) Martin, heavyweight pugilistic cham pion of the A. E. F., doesn't claim the world's championship for his protege, statements to the contrary notwithstanding. In a talk with the United Press a short time ago, Bronson freely ad mitted that his heavyweight probably is a long way from the Iheavyweight crown. "But," said James, "within two years Martin will heat Dempsey. Re member what L tell you. Right now he is a better man than Dempsey, but I am not foolish enough to believe that he knows enough about fighting to go in and defeat Dempsey. "I want to show the public what this boy can do, and I'll do it in a legitimate way. We are not begging for fights. We will take what comes along and we'll march straight to the championship. Every member of the A. E. F. believes this, and will back his feelings in the matter." IBronson expresses himself as op posed to the established (method of boxing since lie has seen wlat was done in France by boxers. lie is a, Ilromlloter and(I referee of long experi ence, having conducted high class boxing in Joplin, Mto., for many years. He said he was unwilling to believe when he went to France as a Y. I. C. A. athletic director that the time would ever come when he would favor two-minitll rollnds over the established method of sending men over the three-minute route. "I want Martin to fight under A. E. F. rules if such a thing is possible in this country,' he said. "I be lieve it makes better fighting. They go two-minute rounds, with a min ute rest. It makes for action and eliminates the stallting. The number of rounds could be increased to ex tend the time of a go." Bronson exhibited a photograph of Martin taken after he had won the inter-allied championshlip. It showed General Pershing holding the box er's hiand and appraising him with a smilingly critical glance. STANDING OF THE CLUBS 1h NATIONAL LEAGUE. is Won. Lost.

And yet that is the official repl)ort tiurnet'd in to the city from the l,udlow street jail, r where the \lintlony clhlb Ihas its hing out, and where a few enemlllf y ( aliens and political prisonlers hIlave been in c(ar erated. As a matter of fact city officials have very little to do with this l1ira Icl, for a womIalnl dois the cooking. N It is due to her ltha the price is kept down, according to Sheriff Knott. That womanl is Mrs. Rose Taylor. who. for 31 year illshs presidetl over the kitchen back of the jail. Mrs. T'aylor is 75 years ol., but s heys sh is just as spry and healthy as a youngster. Only her wrinkled and harldened hands give evidencet h at lI she has cooked. with the help of one 'assistant. three meals for no average of 30 prisoners a day, not to speak of the keepers and prison emplotyes. The Ludlow street jail kitchen is a big. bare roo1m. with a stonl floor. A coal stove 60 years old is at one end, a cup:lboard graces a side wall. and a long kitchen table occupies the centur. It is spotlessly clean. for Mrs. Taylor's life centers around that kitchen. She has neither faim ily nor friends. Her home is in the plrison.. If you ask Mrs. Taylor how on earth 290 pennies can cover a grown Slall's three "squares" seven days in the week. she discreetly refers you | to Warden Johnson and Sheriff i Knott, who order the food and spend 9 the money. Her part, she says only consists of "managing to get along." - "It isn't hard to cook for a lot of IN people," she added, cutting the The A. B. C. of the Plumb Plan What Is the Plumb Plan? It is a plan for the public ownership and the democracy in the cointrol of the railroads. Who Has Endorsed it? The two million organized railroad employes of America; and the Amer ican Federation of Labor, apliroving the principle of government owner ship, has instructed its executive committee to co-operate with the officers of the railroad internationals in their effort. It also has been endorsed by several farmers' organizations. How Does It Propose to Buy the Roads? By issuing government bonds with which to pay focit-he legitimate pri vate interests in the railroad industry. How Does It Propose to Operate the Roads? By a board of 15 directors, five named by the president, to represent the public; five elccted by the operating officers; five elected by the classi fied employes. Does This Mean Government Operation? No; it is operation by a board in which those having the responsibility have also the authority. It is superior to government operation because it prevents control by an inefficient bureaucracy; and is true democracy since it gives the men engaged in the industry a voice in its management. What Becomes of the Surplus? After operating expenses are paid, and fixed charges are met, including the interest on outstanding government securities, the surplus is divided equally between the government and the men. The employes' portion is to be divided between the manuagerial and classified employes, the former receiving double the rate received by the latter class. This is not a profit. since the corporation has no capital. What the men receive is a dividend on efficiency. Is This a Bonus System? No, it is giving those who increase production a share of the results Sthliir increased effl'rt has produced; and this share is theirs for as long u as they are actually in the service, and is not forfeitable. Why Do Operating Officials Receive the Larger Rate of Dividend. Because it se'vces as a greater stimunlus to tile group with the most. r(e sponsibility. And since the operating officials would lose dividends if wages were increased it acts automatically to prevent collusion between labor directors and the operating directors to outvote the public's directors in raising wages beyond a reasonable level. The chief argument against the plan is that the Iublic loses control of its own property, and that the men in charge cannot be prevented from combining to pay themselves ex tortionate wages. This method of sharing dividends sets up a natural bar rier against collusion. Is This the Only Protection for the Public? No, the rate-making power remains with the interstate cotmmerce com mission, and if wages were raised so high that rates had to be increased, lihe commission could refuse to change them, and shippers might appleal to the courts for re(dre:s. If the operation by the directors results in a dc ficit, congress can revoke their charter. Does This Difference in Dividends Create Hostility Between Officials and Men? No, because without harmony between them neither group can earn dividends. An official in working for his own dividend is working for the dividend of his subordinates, for one cannot gain unless all gain. Does the Plan Assure a Decrease in Rates? It provides that when the government's share of the surplus is 5 per tl cent or miiore of the gross operating revenue. rates shall be redlucied accord - ingly to absorb the amount the government receives. For instance: If the entire surplus one year is $500,000,000, and this is 10 per cent of lihe f gross operating revenue, the government receives $250,0)00,000. And be cause this is 5 per cent, rates are decreased 5 per cent. See what follows: 1 Without new economies or new business the profits the next year would be only $250i.,00,000, and the employes and the governmentt would re fi ceive only half the amountt of the year before. But decreased rates mean more business: and, also, the reduction in dividends would stimulate the employes to improve their operation by applying better method:i. So the tendency is to assure constantly decreasing rates, to add to the volume of business, and to give the most efficient service human ingenuity and de votion can provide. Decreased rates mean cheaper commodities; and so, Ihrough the effectiveness of the railroads, the purchasing power of money is increased, not only for the railroad nian, but for every wage earner and every purchaser. What Does the Government Do With its Share of the Surplus? It invests it in improvenient.s and extensions, thus adding to the value of the railroads without adding to the fixed charges. It retires the out standing bonds, thus reducing the fixed charges, Ultimately the public has its railroad service at cost. Does the Government Pay for All Extensions. No. the comnmunity henefited must pay if it can; if it is able to pay all, the building of the exteLnsion is obligatory. If it only pays part, the gov ernment pays tle remlllainder. blut only makes the extension as it deems wise. And where the general public and not ia local community would be henefited, the governmlent pays the whole bill. How Are Disputes Between Officials and Men Adjusted? t 1y boardsl, to swhich the operating officials elect five miembers aind the nimn, five mmeothers. In case of failure to reach an adjustment, the case is I appealed to the directors. Who Determines the Rate of Wages? The board of directors. Who Supervises the Purchase of the Roads? A purchasing board, comnlposed of the interst;ate colllierce commelission and three directors of the new government corporationll, one director from i each grollp. Who Decides the Value of the Private Interest in the Railroads? S'The courtls. It is a judic'ial question, and is to be answered only after an examlinatioll of the charters of tlthe existinlg cotmil panies, the laws under 7 which they were iersated, and the manner in whi ih the company has lived ) up t.opits charter and these laws. Will the Public Have to Pay for Watered Stock? Noi. The public will probably pay less than Iwo-thirds of what the rail 4 roads claim as thleir value. Are There Other Savings? Yes, th11 public cann obtain the mnolley to pnrm'hasie the lines at 4 per 'elnt. whlereas the I)lllpuli' is now charged rates to guarantee the roads da! Iper ('tilt on their IlImoney. The savinlg on the pIresent capital account of the railroads would be about $400t,000,001, and on an honest valuation 4 oultld be nearl'y twice this siiin. The PIlumb ilill at 'ovides for a sinking fiind a;nd every year one of the fixed charge's mwoulid be 1 per cent of the outsntanding inldebtedness, to be used ill retiring the bonds. Tihe govern ment also uses its profits in retiring bonds, so eventually, probably in 510 years, lthe people woulid owii the roads debt-free. A further saving would he in tihe operaioin of the roadts us ai unified syst em, which permits the intercihange of e(qulilentlt, the end of waistefuil .Olllmpetition, and greater economy in buyilng supplies. t'nder this plan pa;sscenger rates of 1 1 cellts a mile, and a reduction of fr'ieght rates by 40 per cent appear reasonable.

WITHOUT FAIL FOR THE IMEN WHO ARE IN JAIL HIIundreds of workers are literally rotting in the jails of this country because of their activity in the cause of Labor. Many of these victims of the world-wide class war are awaling trial-and have been wailing for many weary months for the speedy trial guaranteed them by the United Slates Constitution. O'thers were tried and sentenced to terms ranging iroln one to twenty years during the period of war hysteria, and appeals in their cases are now being taken from King Capital drunk to King Capital sober. Some of the prisoners have escaped by death, others are dying, many have contracled tuberculosis and otlher loathsome diseases, and all are sulfering unlold agony froto close con!'inement in the fetid atmosphere, from insrnitalry and unhealthy sulrrollundings, from poor and insutficient foot , and f'rom ilnhtman trealtment accorded them by brutalized guards. Past attempts to secure bail I'or all of these workers in jail have not been attended wil.th great si.ccess because of the lack of system.. In dividuals sought to secure bail for their p)ersonal friends, antd failing to get the niecessary anmount they returned what had been collecled, thus mnaking their entire efforts fruitless. This was the condition facing the delegates fr'om all the western district organizations of the Industrial Workers of the World when they met in conference on July 3 and 4 in Scuttle. The delegates solved the problem by an utl'ailing means Orgauization. A Bail and Bond Committee was elected to systematize the work of collecting bail and a nation-wide drive has been started to secure the loan of cash, Liberty Bonds andl property sufficient to gain the release of all class war prisoners. With practically no advertising Six Thou s;nd IDollars were raised in the first five days. More than ,Two Hun dred Thousand Dollars are needed to release those ntow being held for their Labor activity. Siuis of Five Dollars and up are accepted as loans, and all cash, Lib eory B(inds or property is tabulated in triplicate. one copy going to the person making the loan, another being retained by the Iail and Bond Conmmittee. and Ihe third being filed with the Trades U!nion Savings and Loan Association of Seattle, with whom all funtls, bhotds and prop erty schedules will be banked. Only those who have been pIroved loyal and trustworthy are being sent out as collectors. Everything possible has been done to safeguard this bail anld bondI fund, from the selection of the coutilitt ee to the ciltoice of the bI.ank. A portion of the f.,ind is being set, aside to return loans on demand in case lpersons who have made them are forced to leave the couintry or have other reasons for making a withdrawal. Bail will be used to release specified persons where that is desired, but otherwise the release will take place by a blind drawing of names, thas insuring fairness to all prisoners. By common consent the men in Wichita, Kansas, jail will first be released, as they have been held the longest and jail icndiiions are wvorse there than anywhere else in Ithe entire (ountry.

On June 28, 1i19, the Treaty of Versailles, now up for ratification by collgress, and over which a bitter e contest rags,. was signed inl the his toric hlall of Mirrors of the Palace of Versailles. On Sept; 1, 1715, the day we celebrate, the moniarch wlho built that gorgeous edifiie. Louix XIV, died. after reigning 72 years. The Palace of Versailles is a m0onu m ent to the king whose title in his Iroy will forever be, "The Grand lollnarqle.' ' The Palace of Versailles is a monu ment. which makes the philosopher thoughtful, of a reign that was marllked as an era of magnificence, learning andl licentiousiness in France. Loiis XIV left behind him SMany monumllllents of splendor in pal anes and gardens. but the ulnprece dented glory is Versailles. The town is in the suburbs of Paris, but it owes its existence to the palace. S"'Versailles" 'means the palace. Upon first beholding it one Is seized with ea kind of awe. It is the grandeur of the art of the Renaissance at its apogee. On the site where the pal ace now sitands there was, originally, a hunting chateau erected here by Louis XIII in 1624. Louis XIV. the sumnptuous imonarch and patron of the arts. came frequently to the bunt ing chateau. and gave famous enter o tainnients here. Moliere, the cele brated dramatist. with his players, I here entertained the king. But the Et- ttean! was not large enough nor i REX CAFE 1V When In Great Falls visit the Rex t. Cafe.

He began to eularge the cba- 1 teau, and ended by adding such huge additions, supplied by the genius of l s architects, Levan and Marsart. t rlat a palace arose into the grandeur t that,we behold and marvel at today. I It became the seat of the court of Louis XIV, and the imposing seat of government. Here everything that could add to the monarch's pleasure was supplied. It supplied rooms for . 10,0100 guests. In its galleries of unapproachable splendor linger the memories of royal intrigues, niatch loss festivals, beautiful women-, successive mistresses of the king and the haughty domination of thie very clever Madame de Maintenon whom the king married. 'l'oday the Palace of Versailles is the national museum. After inspect ing the "grands appartements" of Louis XlV, the bedchamber kept in tact and the canopied bed wherein 'he monarch died; after wandering through Marie Antoinette's suite, her bedroom, boudoir, library, music room; after spending hours in the galleries of paintings that celebrate the whole sweep of the history of France; its halls of sculptture; the gallery "des Batailles,"-paintings of the celebrated battles of France; the halls of the Crusades; the salons of gods and goddesses-we feel that all is illustrative of the compelling. though pompous motto at the en trance to the Palace of Versailles. "A Toutes Les Gloires de Is France." (To All the Glorious History of France). Of the gardens of the palace---the park of Versailles---we cannot here speak at length. Through these very gardens only recently the president. of the United States and the presi-. dent of the French republic were almost carried off their feet by an enthusiastic mob of excited people. We have not space to speak of the allure of the trianos in the park of i Versailles-the two little palaces built by luxurious kings. Louis XIV 4 atnd Louis XV for their favorites. It these tiny architectural bonbon boxes royal courtesans held their orgies, planting the sure. slow seed of the French revolution in the outraged anger of a cidmishied people. At the veiit trianon Marie Antonette and her court revelled as shepherdesses in the .toy farm and hamlet they had caused to be built out of the depleted national treasury. We turn into the hall of mirrors lin the great palace itself, where the Treaty of Versailles was signed the other day. It is a matchless gallery 263 feet long. looking out on the superb park. It is lavishly decorated by the great Le Brun. Sgventeefl arched windows command a magnifi' oent view of the gardens; seventeen bevelled mirrors adorn this gallery from ceiling to floor. In this hbll William of Prussia was proclaimed German emperor in 1871. What fu ture for triuniphant but troubled na tions dli- those unsparing mlirrors re flect in the hall of mirrors as the Treaty of Versailles was signed.

The old church was erected in the fourteenth century. Within its wall; are buried Daniel Defoe, the author of Robinson Crusoe, and Foxe, au thor of the Book of Martrys. But the church is chiefly notable for being the shrine of the tomb of John Mil ton, buried there. In 1904 a statue of Milton with reliefs from Comnus and Paradise Lost on the pedestal was erected near the north door. In an adjacent house of the parish Mil ton wrote Paradise Lost.
