more to attract attention to this sport than any similar CONTEST
in recentsyears. Carpenter has challenged Dempsey. hho"-
ing what Dempsey did to Willard, to say nothing OIL wna' II
did to other ambitious boxers, America would UNANIMOUSLY
choose him to- defend American honOrs, and The American
sport will.back him lavishly.
The young Frenchndanswho but recently confirmed ms uue
of prize ring champion of Europe, is one of the most mteresuns
figures that the boxing game has produced in all Its Annals. he
represents a nation in a sense more complete man any chaln
pion ever before did, as well as enjoying the regard of his fell
low-countrymen to a degree perhaps beyond what was the
fortune of Americas favorite son, the late John L., In ue
lhalcyon days when he was putting all corners to sleep. Georges
Carpenter, from boyhood, has been reared virtually under
the patronage of all France to play the part in, the worlds arena
for which nature richly endowed him and in which ne is now
starring.
Boxing, though in some form an ancient sport, IS now
developed under the Queensberry rules originated win the
British and, until recently, rs popularity has been confined to
British and Americans. 1t was probably due to the interest
awakened in France by exhibitions in that country given Ly
Anglo-Saxon boxers that French aspirations were stimulated
to enter the international lists-their own style employs the
feet as well as the fists. AT that time Carpenter appeared on
The scene, in his early teens displaying such genius for the at
of self defense that all France began to look forward to having
lin him a world champion, and his training was undertaken
accordingly.
This will be an international event which, if properly
Staged and properly conducted, will not only stimulate interest
lin boxing throughout the world but will place it on a higher
plane than it has occupied in recent years.

AS MEXIC SEES Us

Conditions in Mexico are apparently growing worse from
day to day. The easy going, eXcusing attitude OF the govern
ment at Washington has encouraged a feeling i'll the country
10 the south of us tina. the United States will stand for murder
arson, robbery and insult indefinitely. Things cannot go on
as at present very much longer.
So long as there is "A possible chance of escaping armed in
tervcntion in Mexico the American people want that chance
taken. but not at the expense of American honor and dignity;
not at the csl of American lives and the destruction of Ameri-
can property day after day at the hands of brigands.
Mexico seems to have been itching for a scrap for several
years past, and there were occasions during the period of the
world war when this country would have been justified IN
accepting the challenge. but we stood for repeated insults.
There is no world war to give as an excuse now and It's time
llat Mexico was made to obey the laws of humanity and respect
the rights of American citizens within her borders. What
wonder that the masses in Mexico. ignorant and unlettered as
they are, believe their leaders when they are told the American
nation will not fight? That belief is responsible for most OF
The trouble in Mexico, as it was in Germany. Even our own
Ambassador. Gerard. told us that.
In the day of President Polk, that sturdy president told
congress that Mexico had passed the boundaries of the United
States and shed blood on American soil. War exists and
exists by the act of Mexico herself" That r%edoubtable war
.ior. General Zachary Taylor, within a month captured Mon
terey, scaled the table land, fighting as he went, took the MeXl-
can capital and showed the insurrectionists that the Stars and
Stripes could not be insulted with impunity.
The entire history of Mexican inpudence and aggression
and robbery is fitting comment on the attitude of the present
administration in Washington. From Villa to Carranza seizure
of American capitalists. lOoting Of American mines, excursions
across the border, it is the same story of vacillatlOn and hesl-
tation. No Zachary Taylor is now in sight. We are Inundated
in the eyes of the world and probably will be until a president
takes the reins who will compel the rebels, as well as the
government adherents, to respect the nation on the north.

REMOVING THE FIREBRANDS

1t was settled yesterday by the United States supreme court
that Berkman will have to go back to Russia, whence he came.
Within a week the case of Emma Goldman, another advocate
of murder and destruction, will also receive the final ruling
OF our courts and there is little doubt of the result. But right
up to the minute when this country reaches the decision that
they may legally be deported, and while the courts are engaged
in protecting them in the enjoyment of all the liberties that
were guaranteed under our constitution, they are found
fighting to destroy the government whose protection they claim!
The very laws they defy are the same laws they rely upon to
prevent others from interfering with them. Only last week
they both addressed an anarchist meeting in Chicago.
UP to the very moment when they shall be thrust aboard
a Europe-bound vessel these two enemies of our country are
permitted to spread their anti American propaganda. There
may be no written law whereby Berkman and Goldman could
have been prevented from carrying on their business OF
assassination. But when was the natural law, universally
recognized, set aside for the benefit of the most despicable
creatures with whom we have to contend? Today we fight for
self preservation. The judgment that has been entered against
Berkman and Goldman is founded on public necessity. Per-
hitting them to roam around the country spreading their
poisonous doctrines while awaiting deportation was indefensi-
able.
Government as well as individuals who fail to act in accord
ance with natures first law must expect to pay the penalty
Anarchists must be gotten rid of. 1t does not matter how that
is accomplished, so they are put where they can no longer
Iiniure people and the peoples government.

THE DIFFERENCE

Somebody has said that if Newberry and his friends spent
s. million dollars to defeat Henry Ford it was well spent, if
spent honestly. Didn't Henrys friends boast that he had spent
a million to re-elect Wilson because he had kept us out of war?
md how much did Henry spend to elect himself? Most OF us
will have more faith i'm the efforts of the department OF justice
to serve only the ends of justice when it puts its machlner!
10 work TO find out why, i'll a democracy, the votes of certain
states show the election only of those candidates whose names
aopear on one ticket. OF course the present attorney general
comes from Pennsylvania. but. We Gods! what a feeling must
have permeated the jury box if this action had been brought
bv Mr.. Palmer's predecessor. Mr.. Gregory, and somebody had
asked him to tell the jury how elections are held in Texas.
Apparently the president has not yet forgiven the people OF
Michigan for not electing Mr.. Ford, as he asked them to do.
.\nd yet Senator Newberry was in the navy and his sons ana
his son-inlaw were all in the service helping Wilson to win
the war and make the world safe for democracy. And also Mr.
Ford and his son were both at home and this son exempted
from service at his fathers request. But Michigan isn't III
Texas, nor in Mississippi or Georgia.

SHAMEFUL NEGLIGENCE

While there are arguments for and against the creation OF
a department of aeronautics, as provided by a bill before the
senate military committee, the Importance of strengthening our
air defenses is not a debatable question.
Immediate action for the Improvement of a branch of the
military service that has been shamefully neglected since the
armistice should be taken to the end that the country may no:
be defenseless in time of emergency or be obliged to apply to
England or France for airplanes and skilled aviatOrs.
The testimony presented to the senate committee shows
that the war department has again demonstrated its inef-
iiciency; factories established at heavy cost have been idle;
there has been only the most perfunctory potence of follow
ing the improvements i'll which other nations are keenly inter
|eated; in brief, the decentralization of the air service is about
as complete as it can be made by incompetent bureaucrats.
England and France have no idea of being caught mapping
in the event of another war. Both countries are developing
their aircraft; in comparison with the machines now ready for
service in Europe those of the United States are said to be
almost primitive. But this is not the whole of the story; the
number of experienced hirmen in America is ridiculously
small; of the original force of 5000 trained aviators only 965
are available for duty. The responsibility for this discrediable
state of affairs may be eventually fixed, but the first and more
important thing to do is to apply the remedy.
Congress has cut very deeply, too deeply we believe, the
appropriation asked, yet what encouragement was there to
There was one man, and one only. in conspicuous position in
the construction service, in whom congress and the country
still has confidence. He was called in late and left when the
war ended. That was John D. Ryan.
1t is known that for some time Mexico has been seeking
aircraft in Europe, and it is stated that expert German filters
can be had by Carranza. Yet our government seems marvel
ously Indifferent to the menace of fighting air planes from the
Mexican side of 'the border. A few of these machines could do
a vast deal of mischief before our government could place a
wellequipped force of armed filters along the Rio Grande.
Mexico. by reason of her weakness would wage an unequal
war against us, but unpreparedness on our part may never
theless cost us heavily in life and property damages. Con
gress must keep this fact in mind while dealing with the re-
ports as to- our obsolete air equipment. Millions have been
wasted on this branch of service and it is time for placing it
in the hands of strong and intelligent men and for instructing
Them to get results.

BOOKS FOR NORTH DAKOTA CHILDREN

Up in North Dakota the bolshevists. who call themselves
by the innocent name of non-partsans. had control of things
for a short time. They proceeded to supervise the schools and
the libraries. The selection of books for the state library was
taken out of the hands of the superintendent of public instruc-
tion-who was a conservative literary mainland it was turned
over to special officials, strictly up to date.
And here is what they did among other things: They
banned Pilgrims Progress, Alice in Wonderland, Little Women
and other books of like nature, insisting that those belong to
the childhood of the wonderful race of North Dakota men. For
these books they substituted Trotzkys THE Bolshevik' and
world Peace" and Ellen Keys Love and Ethics" Most ad-
mirable reading as substitutes for the older order of literature.
The Keys book especially, for it is nothing more nor less than
a somewhat learned treatise on free love, the woman who
wrote it Being known as an advanced feminist. And we wonder
what sort of lopsided moral idiots will be brought up on such
reading matter for the children of The new race of North Da-
Eotans.

Rudyard Kipling has been moved to print an appeal to all
who may visit the graves. in Flanders and in France to move
about them in "a spirit of respect for those who lie buried there.
and who died for the world and its freedom. 1t has been feared,
and indeed it has already appeared that some tourists have
gone through these sacred burial grounds in a spirit of careless
less, if not disregard. The tourist is apt to be a flippant fellow
and a meddlesome one. He is not above desecratng graves i'll
order that he may bear away Il souvenir OF his visit. Many
Americans are, no doubt, among the careless ones. Americans
have scratched their initials on all sorts of buildings and even
nOnuments.
The kipling appeal is timely. The warming, of course, is
not needed for those who have kith and kin and other dear ones
among the dead in Europe. They will respect the places where
they lie buried. They have a heart interest in their resting
places. But there is bound to be a mob of merely curious, III
not morbid sight-seers in Europe in the coming years-and let
them all learn what is expected of them i'll the presence of the
dead.

THE TRICK IN PUBLICITY

The Detroit Free Press thinks that the 100000 which
was spent by Mr.. Cred's socalled publicity committee, is a
sum that ought to be taken over by the treasurer of the demo
cratic national committee for which Mr.. Jameson. minister of
finance, has announced he will raise %$iOOO0OOO for the mex.
presidential compaign. They got the benefit of ita and the whole
people ought not to be charged with the costs of it-Creel was
the joke of the country and as publicity man he was as yellow
as saffron. But he worked shrewdly and he received into his
office hundreds of newspaper men from all parts of the cOun-
try, who were duly educated in his ways of thinking before they
were returned as Creel graduates. Creels crowd were not
chumps. after all. They subsidized in one way or mother
many of the writer's of vogue, including such illustrious So
cialists as Ray Stannard Baker, who has since been writing the
most fulsome eulOgies over everything that was done. It is
something to get on your side the men who can write and who
will write according TO pattern.

CODDLING THE REDS

Among the startling facts brought to light by the con-
gressional committee investigating affairs at Ellis Island was
the revelation that twelve dangerous Reds, arrested In Sc
attle last winter and taken to New York for deportation,
were released on parole and are stll at large, notwlthstand
ing the fact that warrants for their deportation were issued
March II. 1t was also brought out that when the Ellis Island
officials asked the department of labor in Washington what
action should be taken to apprehend the men, the department
ordered the officials to hold the warrants until January L."
Thus twelve of the most dangerous alien radicals that eve"
set foot in the United States are still enjoying their freedom and
probably pursuing their anarchistic activities through the
slipshod methods of the immigration officials at Ellis Island
and by the grace Of the federal department of labor.
Is it a wonder that bOlshevism and anarchism are increas-
ing in this country, under such tolerance and encouragement
from official sources? And isn't it about time for congress to
take prompt action and vigorous measures to compel govern
ment officials in high places either to enforce the laws of the
country or resign their offices?

might begin with a rehabilitation of surplus job holders.
