shameful as the Omaha riot was, it
would be less serious if it were an
isolated case. But it is not. Riots,
for this cause or that, are occurring
with disturbing frequency all over the
land. The particular excuses on
which, they are based have existed
before, when no riots resulted. The
tendency to riot can be ascrbed only
to q general breaking Of the moral
fibre of the people, which seizes upon
first one excuse, then another, for ex-
preston. That is the thing which the
people of Omaha have to consider, no
less than the particular incidents of

The Defense

The Nonpartisan Leagues de-
fence of its methods is brought out
in its own newspapers. "The Fargo
Courier-News," one of the leading
organs Of the league, is taking the
principal part in this defence, and
in doing SO utilizes it's news col
umns as we'll as it's editorial page
for the purpose of demonstrating
that the bank accident is but a po-
litical plot of the leagues enemies.
An editorial from "The Courier
News" attacks the integrity of the
officials responsible for the closing
of the bank and ascribes to them an
attempt "to wreck the state finan-
cially." Heatedly the paper con-
tinues:
Such an attempt could be made, of
course, only by men without any shred
of conscience or honor. 1t could be
made, however, only by men with skulls
so thick that no inkling of the state
of public sentiment could penetrate to
the brain, if any, underneath the thick
covering of bone. But all these quail
tications, lack of conscience and honor,
mpenetrability Of skull, together with
a reckless ambition that stopped at
nothing in seeking it's qualification, are
admirably combined in Langler and
Hall, in Norm. Black and in their
lesser coadjutors and helpers. E.
"And what use will LANCER and his
crew be in the future, even to big
business, after it has been demon
strated that they falsely alleged in
solvency against the leading farmers

of gratifying their personal ambition
and wrecking the farmers movement?

such men,"

statement that Willard is now forty
years old. This makes Jess the most
aged gent that ever held a heavyweight
championship, the patriarch of the
champions, in fast.
Fitzsimmons wasA thirty-five, accord
ing to the records, when he won the
championship, and thirty-seven when
he lost it to Jelfries. At the time
Fitz was looked upon as rare old
bird to have lasted so long.
If it is true that Willard is forty
and it sounds true-why the ladylike
dif'idence about letting it out? 1t
would add to his prestige, l should
think. A lot of US ginks who are tag
ging forty would like to know that
someone our age was still able to tread
the intricate steps of the May Queens
berry game. Concealment of his age
will not help Willard in the ring, if
the age is beginning to tell.
The fact that Willard is forty and
still able to step relieves some of the
concern induced by certain reformers
who declared that our national addic-
ton to baseball boxing and other
sports was shortening the average life
of the American. If we can point to
heavyweight champion of forty sum-
mers, there is a chance of a comeback.
Dempseys Rise Rapid
The rise of Dempsey was fairly
rapid. He whipped everything between
himself and the match with Willard
and did it rapidly. 1t was not an i'm
pressive field, but Dempsey disposed
of it in a fairly impressive fashion
There are couple of blots on the rec
ord One is the knockout by Jim
Flynn, the aged Pueblo fireman. 1t
happened in one round
This is explained by the tale that
Dempsey was paid to take the count
in one round. Dempsey needed money
badly once and $500 would make him
do most anything in those days The
other blot on the Dempsey escutcheon
is the fact that Willie Meehan, the
mixed ale warrior of the Pacific Coast,
got two four round decisions over him.
Otherwise Dempsey has been coming
fast.
On the dope alone there might be
some reason for the enthusiasm con-
corning Dempsey. Gunboat Smith got
a decision over Willard in twenty
rounds. Dempsey knocked out the
Gunner in three Willard let Frank
Moran stay ten rounds. Dempsey
knocked out Fred Fulton in one round
after Fulton knocked out Moran. But
