Globe Explains Offer

GLOBE, Ariz., March 1.-The propo- sition to stage the Willard Dempsey worlds championship fight in this city stated that Globe would make an offer providing the present session of the state legislature passed 20-round box ing law. The sportsmen of this city actment of the 20-round law and same was forwarded to the Gila members at Phoenix. The fight club organized in this city was prepared to make Rickard definite proposition in case the 20- round law was passed. As the law passed by the present session only permits ten-round bouts. the fight club will devote the funds raised to staging 10-round bouts in this city Rickard was ready to consider the offer from Globe, if a suitable boxing law was passed. Local sports anticipated the law would be amended for 20 rounds, .when it reached the senate. Globes offer did not carry any stated amount, but Rickard was notified the bid would be made as soon as the law was en- acted.

SCOTCH THE BOMBERS!

YESTERDAYS OUTBREAK of the bompers
L in the United States indicates the state OF
mind of a considerable number of persons who
haven't any minds fit to speak of. Their mentai
processes suffer from severe strablsmus. lhey
are cross-eyed in the intellect They seem uh-
able to see simple things straight.
In every instance it will be found that the
incitation to these deeds of violence ana
viciousness comes direct from the old world.
Such deviltry does not develop from neW-worlu
sources. Its roots are not native to our SOIL. III
is a transportation, an importation, foreign
growth.
The thing we must do is to see to 1t that
the roots of anarchy never shall strike deeply
into American soil. This is going to be no
bovs-play task 1t will require years OF ear
nest effort to eradicate the infant underbrush
of anarchy now possessing foothold in tins
country The public schools must and VIII do
very much toward performing the task. Inc
press must and will do very much toward that
end. The pulpit must and will do very much
in that direction.
This is the freest government ever deVel-
oped by mortal man. Our freedom has been the
slow growth of ages and it has been born out
of the travail and the agony of our foretathers
Approximately hundred thousand of our
Young men died last year to MAINTAIN ana en-
hance this freedom.
1t is for us who survive to make no compro
mise whatever with the crackbrains that can
not comprehend, that cannot appreciate ano
evaluate republican liberty.

OUR AUTO-BULL FIGHTS

NEARLY EVERY YEAR two or three men
~ are killed in the automobile races at lndi'
anapolis. Every now and then similar slaugh-
ter takes place at similar races IN California
Sometimes it is only racers and their mecnahi-
clans who are killed. Sometimes 1t is the lhho-
cent bystander What's the use?
When we read of the gladiatoral contests
in ancient Rome we shudder. Pagan Sports
Performances panderng to morbid human
hunger for sensations! Yes
And in our own day we look upon the span
lard or the Mexican as but seml-clvillZeu pc
cause he is addicted to the pagan sport Oh Dull
fighting. We are sorry for the bull
Right here in the United States we nave
the most senseless of pagan sports. Inc name ol
it is automobile racing. AS we carry 1t on TINS
sport is brutal and degrading. In every Dig
event everybody who buys tickets expects 10
see somebody injured or killed. That enhances
the thrill, you know; feeds the morbid sensa-
ton hunger. You get run for your money
and little more.
We believe thoroughly in a wide range OF
liberty. but we do not believe in the liberty
of fools to throw away their lives IN useless
speed competition. Furthermore, such races
induce in the young-both as to years ana a.
to brain power-an nordinate desire to speec
up on public streets and highways to the peri
of sensible and law-abiding people.
