WHY THIS PARTISAN SPIRIT?

out-OOhs
Cannot We Americans rid ourselves
of this mental bondage to the partisan
spirit? Can we not discuss this mo-
mentous project on its merits? There
is no hope for the success of the
league of nations if it is adopted on
partisan or personal grounds. 1t can
succeed only if il has behind it the
power of an enlightened public opin-
ion. If it has serious defects, they
should be discovered and corrected
before it is adopted If it is on the
whole useful instrument for seCur-
ing international justice, It is never
theless only an instrument The en-
ergy which will use it will be the hui
man will: and if that is lacking, the
instrument will be as useless as an
engine without fuel More important
than any provision of the covenant of
the league of nations is the measure
of popular support behind it. SUBJ
support will come only when full and
searching criticism is welcomed, heard
and answered.
The greatest disserViCC which sup
porterS of the league can do to their
own cause is to try to prevent Criti-
ciSm by denOuncing the critics or to
win support for the league by making
II partisan or PERSONAL ISSUE. Wncn
a critic uses appeal to prejudice as a
weapon against the league, he is
strengthened, not weakened. by a
counterappeaI to prejudice; he can be
effectively answered only when it is
shown that he is not attacking the
league itself, but only its counterfeit
No greater duty rests upon the Am
erican people today than to hear a
fun and free discussion of the peace
treaty's merits and defects.

THE PRIZE FIGHT TODAY.

There are many ways to celebrate
the Fourth of July. One may go
around with a horn and waken the
neighbors at 4 o'clock in the morning,
or one may blow his fingers off with
a giant firecracker. But this year the
eyes Of the people of the United States
will be on the prizefight in Toledo
for the heavyweight championship of
the world
The world has Just had more than
four years of war. and yet people
apparently are not done with fighting.
Evidently human nature enjoys good
fight. ASK any one of hundred men
what he thinks of the peace treaty
and many of his answers will be vague
and uncertain. but ask him who Will
win the championship, Willard or
Dempsey, and there will be no mcer-
tainty as to his opinion, and, more
over, great interest will be shown
in it,
Boxing is a fine art and nothing
can be said against it rightly. 1t is a
wholesome sport and helps to keep
war stamina in times of peace If
the fight for the world championship
can be carried out as boxing match,
and the decision made on the points
in the match. it will be a real accom-
plishment.
But if the match today has got to
be fought to the bitter end of blood
and a knockout blow, it savors a good
deal of what We have already had a
surfeit of in a war worn world.
Few things awaken more sympa-
thetic interest than a prizefight; ev-
cry blow is accompanied by groans or
grunts from the sympathetic crowd
There is the danger that the boxers
and spectators alike will allow them
selves to revert to the wolf and tiger
in human nature and rejoice in the
first sign of blood.
Boxing, like any other sport, is
good or bad according to the way it
is used. A boxing match between two
men may be just fight between two
humans, whose sole aim IS to MAIN
and disable, or it may be an athletic
contest which displays skill and
VIII the przefight today resemble
a bun fight in Mexico or an Olympic
game in ancient Greece?
The journal will give the fullest
possible report of the fight by rounds
both as it comes over the wire by
rounds and as it will be analysed in
the fun report that will appear in
the journal tomorrow morning.
