THE PUBLIC FORUM
AGAINST NONRESISTANCE. =

HOHiNSI .NSNHEOlS 0iNS-'
Mr.. Sweeney falls into the same rut
that all semi-informed people do
that of confusing .Darwinism and ev-
olution. Evolution was an estab-
lished fact before Darwin's time. And
he, by means of his theory of the
struggle for existence with the re-
suit of the survival of the ittest,
strove to explain how the process of
evolution is carried on. And his con-
clusion has in the main remained
undisputed.
The theory of non-resistance has
for it's origin the theological dogma
that as the guardian of the universe
is all-wise, everything is for the best.
They used to consider the plague as
a gift of God that should not be COM
batted. But, thanks to science Cor
which Mr.. Sweeney has so much
contempt), we know that it is re-
suit of unsanitary conditions, and
by resisting this evil abolished the
plague. He says non-resistance is
mans greatest power. If it is a
power it must be power against
something and we must not resist
anything.
suppose when Mr. Sweeney's en-
ployer has conflscated five-sixths of
what he. produces and then gives him
the other sixth as wages he hands
it back to him.
The theory of nonresistance is a
theory of degradation and despair. It
is the practice of this theory that has
taught the Orientals to despise all
progress, with the result that today
they are an inferior race. If it were
not for our constant and successful
struggles against evil we would still
be living on roots and berries and
sleeping in holes in the ground.
suppose when Mr.. Sweeney takes
the grip he says it is the will of God
and proceeds to enjoy his blessing.

The ,above heading is true. Its real
ization is somewhat remote, for the
simple reason that we haYe to clear
away the darkness of inherited ig-
norance. Many of us have SEEM
ingly to be born again to free US
from the receptions to which we
cling. We hate to admit that we have
been buncoed and used as dummies.
In fact, we seriously believe, in face
of the worldwide evidence to the
contrary, that we are not dupes. We
even believe that human learning,
including the sciences, is proof pos
tive of wisdom. The most learned
and scientific nations are now using
their attainments in numbering
each other Are they more than dem
onstratfng the old saying, Whom
the gods would destroy they first
make mad? Are they wise or in
sane?
If the supposition be true that we
we're created for some good and use
full purpose, then surely we are yet
far short of fulfilling such purpose
and have much of darkness to clear
away before the light of that bright ,
er day can reach us. That darkness
is the accumulated effects of thou
sands of years of false teachings,
from whence have grown all man
made laws and governments.
Had all efforts been made for the
amelioration of the public life, as
the work of physicians has been per-
formed, and not for the glory of law
and governmental parasites, the
brighter days had long since been
with us. These facts are not being .

Jess Willard il said TO be thirsting for
battle. That's natural. When a fighter has
tasted Of his f~avorte drink only in nearly
two years, he ought TO Feel a bit parched.
Tomasco Jones says Jess is Just terri
bly, anxious to swap punches with some
one. But who'll it bef Squints along the
pugilistic horizon now fail 10 reveal any
one who could be regarded as more than
q warm up" foe for the burly crown bear
err.
Dillon, Levinsky Az Nlske cannot be
conceded a real chance. They are too
small-far too small. Moran had a chance
and IL proved that Willard was entirely too
big for him. Fred Fulton is little more
than a novice with a body that is prone 10
c~rumple under trip-hammer blows. Coffey
rs through. Carl Morris is too fat, too
aged and far too clumsy To have much of
q nance against Jess. But he might. be-
cause of his weight and size, do better
against the champ than nov Of the others.
And there was George Carpenter. the
Frenchie. Carpenter was reported aching
for a fight with Willard for a $40. 200
purse, the most Of it TO 60 10 the French
hospital work, but now Carpenter is re-
ported renigging.
Charles Weinert, 8 feet 3 inches POS
pounds and a clever boxer IS being touteG
by his manager-as the one man who
can beat Jess. But the promoters all seem
10 have been born in or around ST. Louis.
They desire proof. They want TO see
Welnert 60 against Moran, Levinsky or
one Of the others in a 'show-me" scrap.
And that's exactly what the Weinert man
ayers balk al doing. All Of which ere
ates the suspicion hat Weinert isn't such

And 50, 1t begins to look as If Jess will
