GOVERNOR ASKED ID
 PREVENT B|G FIGHT
Ohio Lower House Adopts Measure
 AntagoniStiC to Battle

Columbus, Ohio, June 2O.-With Governor Cox confined to his bed at his home, near Dayton, by illness, no official at the state capitol would ex- press himself authoritatively as to the governors probable action in re- sponse to the resolution adopted yes terday by the lower house of the general assembly requesting the chief executive to take steps to pre- vent the Willard Dempsey prize fight in Toledo, July 4. The general i'm pression, however, is that Governor Cox will not interfere.
 eutenant-Governor Brown stated that he had no legal authority to act.
 '"The matter rests in the hands of the governor,' the lieutenant-gover- nor said. Though no similar resolu- tion was offered in the upper house., Lieutenant-G Governor Brown stated that he was certain it would have been defeated had one been present. ed.
 At the executive office it was stated that the policy followed would be pushed and that Governor Cox would have no statement to make even though he were here.
 Attorney-General Price would make no statement on the question of the governors authority to stop the fight 'I positively decline to discuss the natter" the attorney general said.
 The resolution declares that the fight promoters have failed to obtain permission for the exhibition in "a1l of North America, except Ohio and Old MeXicO,' and asks the governor to follow precedents of former gov ernOrs in uphOlding the fair name of the State of Ohio and to take proper steps to prevent the taking place of the proposed prize fight within the confines of the State of Ohio." The resolution also declares such eXhibi- tions as the proposed Toledo bout are brutal in their nature and not conducive to good morals
 The Dunn bin, which was defeated in the lower house, and the Pearson resolution of yesterday, divided the legislature along sharp political lines Democratic members declared the purpose of both the bill and the reso- lution was solely to bring political embarra ssn ent to Governor Cox l This accusation was denied by re- publicans.

Willard Lacks Wind.

The obesity of Champion Jess Will lard still continues a matter of worry to his friends. That Willard has not got his wind was apparent to many of the close observers. The cham pion, however, went through eight sessions yesterday in rapid style, but those who had seen him and then witnessed Dempsey declared that the latter's condition was more in evil dence than that of Willard.
 Willard had the usual large follow ing at his camp, and the spectators showed much enthusiasm over his work. The weather was intensely hot, and the champion perspired copiously. Notwithstanding this work out, it was apparent that he still had much work to do to get in condition for the title match on July 4.
 Willards first work was with Jack Hempel, who confined his work to punching the cham pion on the stom- ach. They went two rounds Will lard's blocking of Hempers punches to the upper regions was favorably commented on.
 Jack Heinen then was taken on for two rounds, and his work was some what similar to that of Hempel. Will lard between rounds showed the eff feet of the work thus far, and in the interim strode about the ring shadow boxing.
 Willard Bars Tapcd Hands.
 Jack Dempsey, challenger for the heavyweight championship, will not be permitted to enter the ring against Jess Willard here July 4 with heavi- ly taped hands if Willard can pre- vent it. The champion announced last night that he intended to re- quest the Toledo boxing commission and the referee to rule that he and Dempsey go to the ringside with nothing at all on their hands and have the tape put on while ill their corners.
 The champion declared himself in favor of plain cotton bandages with possibly a couple of layers of surgi- cal tape wrapped around to hold the bandages in place.

 Big Fred Toney drew the pitching assignment for the Giants yesterday and, while he was not at his best by any means, he managed to hold the Cardinals in check whenever they seemed to have a chance to score. He was hit hard, but he kept the hits scattered and did his best pitching When there were men on the bases.

EQUITY PRESIDENT To
ATTEND STATE MEEIlNo

Coming direct to Great Fails from
Washington. D. c., J. N. Tittemore'
nation president-elect OF the Ahe'l-
can Society of Equity, promises 70
bring message of unusual interest
to the farmers of the state as ne win
be returning from active partlclpa-
+ion in the reconstruction conference
which will be held in the Nations cap
ital ON January 7th and 9Th, and
which will be participated in by men
of prominence in national affairs.
S. It is quite likely that Mr.. 1ltte-
more will outline the proceeding OF
the conference and no doubt will tell
of what is planned for the future.
Among others prominent = in me
farmers movements in the nation who
will be present, are. j. M. Anderson,
president of the Equity Cooperative
Exchange at st. Paul, w. M. Burlin-
game, president of the Montana
Union, A. S. of E.; M. L. Thurman,
president of the State Grange; Geo.
Hampton, publisher of the Open For
UNI at Washington, d. c., and chair
man of the Farmers National Head
quarters, and others of equal note.
It is expected that the Congress
this year will be one of the best, both
in the point of attendance and in the
program, of any yet held. Many
men who are conversant with the
economic conditions following the
war, are to be present and the value
of what they will have to say to the
farmer is inestimable.
That the crowds will be large is in
dicated from the fact that hotel res
ervations are already being made by
many who anticipate that difficulty
will be experienced in securing ac-
commodations during that week. Tho
dates of the convention are January
1924.

The existence of a rigorous censor
ship on nonmilitary matters and of Sc
dition laws which can be easily inter-
preted to get people who tell the ne
cessary truth about those in power, is
in a way a serious reflection upon The
moral standing of our people. What
can it mean but that we feel it is not
of sufficient Importance to know the
truth about certain conditions to both
er about hearing both sides? And
what does this in turn mean except
that we do not really believe that
there is such a thing as retribution,
or to put it another way, that there
is such a thing as moral basis for
the world?
We talk a great deal about morats
and morality, of course. The mouths
of our statesmen, not to mention our
politicians, rarely open without some
expression of moral fervor. But it
we really believed IN retrloutloh TOT
unjust acts, if we really believed that
there was moral basis to the worlo
which the more devout call the Law
of God, would we not be so anxiou:

sides of a question? Would we mo-
fear to force any man who thought
he had something of great import

Political Independence

The outcome of the recent election
in England furnishes striking COLI
firmation of the wisdom of the poll
teal action of the Nonpartisan league
farmers in this country and. the labor
allied with them. British labor used
to do what labor has been doing here.
namely, tie up to one of the old par
ties on the promise that its interests
would be looked after. But on I'm
portant matters the result was always
the same. The promises of the poll
ticians gave way to the orders from
the special interests which supplied
the political machine and the cam
paign funds.
Now by independent action or by
placing one of their own men on an
old party ticket, the British workers
have Is to 100 men in parliament ont
of about 400 elected in Britain who
stand for them clearly and distinctly
and who must carry out their man
dates. They form the second party III
Great Britain. In the near future a
turn of affairs may dissolve parlla-
ment, and they may become the first
party in the land. The group of mer-
bers of parliament which the Labor
ties have now placed will be able to
do more for labor than three times as
MANY men elected for their promises
and depending on anti-labor elements
for financial support.

Our False Morality

yet we have legally cut ourselves off
from any real scrutiny of their acts.
We have, for instance, embarked on
intervention in Russia against the
radical government there. Now this
Intervention may be right, but the
American people do not know that it
is right and can not know because
they have heard nothing but one SIDE
of the cause. Our government pro-
duces documents to show how bad
these radicals are, but if any one
knew that they were fraudulent, he
would not dare to say so. Men who
could speak for the other side, such
as Kerensky, are not allowed to come
among us. Yet who could not prove
his neighbor a chicken thief by being
able to do all the talking?
AS a matter of fact, we do not pre-
tend to live up to what is implied by
our superficial moral announcements,
We think we are strong enough to
defy retribution. We will build the
biggest navy in the world; we VIII
have the greatest army. But SO have
all the nations since passed to dust
thought in their prime. They have
all stood for "their country right OF
wrong" and regarded those wnc
would take the trouble to set it rigl1'
as trouble makers and criminals.
The great Lincoln expressed this
great principle we'll when he told
delegation of ministers that he was
not so anxious about having God or
i his side as he was about being sure
that he was on Gods side. The firs
attitude was VIGOROUSLY preached 81
, the German junkers and as for our
selves we haven't shown any pro
nounced belief as yet in the latter.

The Hard Loser

The following editorial is takel
rom the Fargo Forum, the gang
,rgan of North Dakota:
If there is a more unpleasant
and contemplate parsonage than
"poor winner" is an unsports-
manlike loser.
Mr.. n. C. Mcdonald hasn't the
grace to be a "good loser even
when he is beaten by a woman.
The verdict of the voters OF
North Dakota was decisive. and
there was no question 1Of the cleo
ton of Miss Nelson. Even Mr..
LANCER, the Nonpartisan attorney
general states that she is entitled
to the Office, is qualified to serve,
and that he will fight her case for
her, even against a member OF
his own political party. 1t should
not be necessary to examine into
the merits of the case further
than that.
In compelling the courts 10
pry him loose from the pubic
trough, Mr.. Macdonald will es-
tablish just one thing: He cares
more for a $1,000 Office than ne
does for the respect of the voters
of North Dakota. He probably
will lose whatever claims ne still
holds to both.

Some of our own people have
thought of the new British labor plan
which has accomplished these grea.
results, as impractical. They see
danger in antagonizing the old par
ties. But it might be well to ask
these persons whether prediction
camoufage makes an enemy any less
dangerous. Right now the great
farmer and labor populations of the
United States have not a dozen men
in our congress they can feel sure will
stand for their interests all the time,
and six of this scant dozen were sent
there by the Nonpartisan league
movement.
Less than two weeks ago, for IN
stance, Senator La Toilette introduced
a taxation bill that would have met
the approval Of all the farmer and
labor elements of the United States.
It was a fair, common sense bill, tax
ing off many of our war taxes on con-
sumption and increasing those on eS-
cess profits, large incomes and mher-
itances. Only six senator's, however,
voted for it and two of the six were
men indorsed for election by the Non
partisan league Yet every one OF
the senators, however, who voted
against this bill, had made promises
to the farmers and workers, and
enough of these two classes had sWal-
lowed these promises to elect him.
