Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1908-07-19
THE BsBEE REVIEW SUNDAY MORNING,

that Of preaching their doctrines in
the streets when the police had re-
fused them the privilege. They and
the three women who are in prison
are justified, if quixotic. in taking their
punishment instead of submitting TO
police who had refused the privilege.
Public sentiment does not approve of
harsh police regulations which tend to
abridge free speech. Whenever pub
lie speech becomes a crime by direct
ly melting violence, it is amenable to
punishment as any other crime, but
both the criminal motive and the Grim
inal act should be proved first.
Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1908-07-19
THE oLYMPiAN GAMES.

The Olympian games in London are
now in full sway. When Greece was
in it's glory these contests of athletes
brought great honor to the victor. The
prize was a simple wreath of laurel
But no trophy was more earnestly
sought or highly priced.
1t was the classic tradition that lent
added interest to the proposition for
the revival under modern auspices of
these famous ancient games. The
thought of collecting the athletes of
the world at the old Greek city ap-
pealed to fancy. There was much
pomD and show when the first Of the
new contests was held at Athens in
1896.
Bisbee daily review. [volume] (Bisbee, Ariz.) 1901-1971, 1908-07-19

But the modern games must have
money for their support. In 1900 the
attractions of Paris were sufficient to
overcome The first arguments in favor
of Athens as the permanent seat
Since then the quadrennlal recurrence
has been superseded by the biennial,
and the "olympian" games have be-
come a movable feast. Once they
crossed the Atlantic to st. Louis. Now
the have crossed the channel to Lon
don. In most cases they have been
side shows TO some exposition.
The English public has been slow
TO appreciate the opportunity offered
1t of seeing contests between trained
athletes. Only at the last minute were
the necessary funds for the entertain
ment secured. There have been many
voices OF sportsmen who have found
little to praise in the "Olypian"
idea.
There is a vast difference between
the Greek world" and the larger
world" of today. says the Chicago Tri-
bune in a recent comment. The deep
seated national feeling which made
the ancient games famous no longer
exists. There is more or less suspi-
cion of the hippodrome in connection
with each meet" now. The we'll
known amusement promoter, Kiralfy
is TO get 10 per cent of the gate" at
London. As 10000 to $4,000 people
/ are expected and seats have sold from
dollar up to a guinea, it looks like a
good business proposition.
The Aperican contestants have not
had nSch courtesy shown them. In
training quarters. in privileges at the
, stadium, in the arrangement of the
/ events" they appear to have had bad
fortune. But American athletes hold
many records for best achievements
in the four previous contests. Their
friends who have followed them to
London send expressions of conf,
dence in their ability to repeat the
past successes.
If victory comes to them during the
week as they meet the representative
athletes of the world it will give pleas
ure to many thousands of Americans
who maintain a steady interest IL
these contests of strength and skill.
