Gently he brought down a storm of
criticism on his head from boxing fans
in the metropolis.
Dempsey said he was suffering with
lumbago. adding he did not feel justi-
fled in taking a chance of injuring
his ands with a championship bout
against jess Willard looming in the
imm ediate future.
His appearance with LevinSky,
known thruout the country as a crafty
and capable battler, had been billed
as the headliner of the show. 1t was
only natural that cyclone of dissatis-
faction should be stirred up among the
fans To make matters worse. 1t was

anyone else selected.
The boxing public straightway de-
cided that Dempsey had simply run
out: that he did not do the patriotic
thing: that he probably was afraid of
Levinsky and a few other like re-
marks. Some voiced the opinion that
perhaps Dempsey isn't the wonderful
fighter he has been given credit for
being.
It is unreasonable to believe that

spirit OF Patriotism in Front o.
Grnndstand at Fair Grounds.


One of the features of the celebra-
zion of Labor day tins year will be the
staging of the patriotic pageant pre-
pared by Miss Ceora Lanham, The
spirit of Patriotism in front of the
Dig grandstand at the fair grounds
next Monday afternoon at $50 o'clock.
The time originally set was p. m,
but on account OF the extreme heat
at that time it was decided to change
it to $3.50
This is the same pageant that was
put on at the auditorium recently and
drew good crowd in spite of the hot
weather. Miss Lanham says the pag-
cant has always drawn a larger
audience where it has been produced
the second time
An added feature to the pageant will
be the tableau "Labor's Pledge of
Loyalty to Uncle Sam" This will be
made up of divisions from the thirty
eight different unions forming the To-
peka Industrial council, carrying the
union banners with service flags for
members in the war service. Karl
Hummell, who has become a favorite
with Topeka audiences, will sing
Mothers of America"
Many union men have left their
trades in Topeka and entered the SER
vice of the government. Topeka Typo
graphical union No 121 is paying the
in good standing with the Internation-
al. Seventy-seven members Of the
International Typographical union
have given their lives on the battle
fields of France. There are 4,0S1
members of the l. T. U. in the war SER
vice. and the executive committee has
invested 100000 in the government S
liberty loan bonds. while the local
unions and individual members have
invested more than 100000 in these
bonds. 1t is worthy OF note that
while the International Typographical
union pays liberal strike benefits only
S1,237 were expended for strikes the
past year It is the policy to settle all
differences by arbitration, especially
while the war lasts.
The unions have agreed to help
notice the fair grounds so that every
thing will be in readiness for the Big
Free state fair which begins the fol-
lowing Monday.
