In a democracy the right to vote
should depend entirely upon the will
to defend" he said. THE will to
defend ones country is important
only as the will is supported by in
telligent training to defend.
Modern life Is so organized that
every man and every woman may
have as important part in our ma
tiona1 defense as they have in max
ing national opinion. A democracy is
only as strong, as the trained patriot
ism of its citizens
Education and training for the
voter and the defender should be

Protest II Match for Aus
tralian is Arranged

limited Press Leased Wire Servlcel
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 29.-The
tin is here that If Les Darcy wants
to box in Ohio, state authorities won't
interfere.
Governor Whitman branded Darcy
a "slacker" and forbid him to appear
in New York rings.
But insiders" here say Governor
Cox isn't likely to block plans OF
Matt Hinkel, Cleveland promoter, to
staee a Darcy bout either in Cleve-
land or Cedar Point this year. They
noint to Cox's stand taken in his
former administration when the box
ing proposition came up. Cox went
on record then as being unwilling to
take on duties and responsibilities OF
any county sheriff. And Ohio laws
make surveillance of boxing the
county sheriff's job.
