ENGLISH ARE
READY TO BET
ON DEMPSEY
BY JACK vE1oCK


u. n. Service Sporting Eottcr)
NEW YORK. Dec. 24.-"Georges
Carpenter should defeat your man
DempseS, There has never been an
other like Georges.
Should Carpenter fail. even to the
point Of, getting knocked out. Demp-
sey VIII never be able to really beat
BIN; never crush his spirit"
Here is the English viewpoint Of the
French champion and the angle from
which tho average British fight ran
looks at a fighter. according to Tex
O'Rourke. matchmaker OF the Inter
national Sporting Club. who has Just
returned TO this country from trip
abroad. bringing back some OF Lon
con's best amateur oattIers.
They have d different way OF look
ing at fighter over there" said
O'Rourke today, once a boxer has
established hinlself-got a reputation
he can so on and on, no matter how
many times he IS beaten Look e.
Beckett Tor instance. I'll venture we
lave ten men or perhaps more in this
country who could knock Beckett cold
tut the English stiu stick 70 him
Hes the champion and that settles It.
When Carpenter and Dempsey
meet there's going to be a lot Of Brit
.sh and French money on the hand
some Georges and at odds. Why, you
an get two TO one on Carpenter in
France right now and as good as 10 70
in England. Perhaps, If the fight
. staged on the other side and Demp-
sey eoes over there 20 train. the bet
ag ODDS VIII huctuate after the Eng
-ish ahve had a chance 70 look him
over. But now they can't see any
ta.ag but Carpenter.
After Moran knocked Beckett cut
--e member OF the National Sporting
Cub asked me II couldn't arrange TO
lave Bill Brennan or some other good
heavyveight come across TO fight be-
ore his club, He even suggested
Dempsey and wanted to stage Beckett
IN the ether end OF the match.
What's the matter wieh Moran
7 asked him" Tex said, "and he re-
plied that Moran wouldn't do because
ne wasn't a champion and because he
did not rank as a top-notcher among
americans. And this after he knock
ID Beckett for goal in two rounds
So you see the viewpoint?'
O'Rourke said the English are en-
thusiastic over the plan Of the Inter
national Sporting Club for encourag-
ing amateurs. creating champions in
the various industries and bringing to-
getheF the leading amateur title-hold
ers OF different nations.
ORourke brought back the heavy
and middleweight champions OF the
London police force and the army and
navy eItle-hoiders. The American
champions will be selected soon and
she bouts win be featured by the In
geruational Sporting Club about the
middle of January.

by every right thinking person In the
state. It il because the Governor has
taken drastic measures that Colorado
has been spared open rioting during
the past year. Instead Of waiting for
trouble to break out he took steps that
prevented disorder. The unearthing of

zens who were active in . campaign to
eradicate the I. ". w. from the state,
was nipped in the bud by the action of
Governor Shoup. It Is not pleasant to
make comparison, but at the same
time, when one recalls the policy of
Shafroth in 1901 in allowing . sore
to grow until it spread over the whole
state and caused the loss Of many lives
and millions of dollars worth Of pro-
perty as the result Of the coal strike
of 1914 and contrast this with the

The state Industrial commission has
taken jurisdiction in the Denver
Tramway matter and will thus prevent
possible strike in that city. The
Tramway and it's employees, through
an arbitration agreement, seem unable
to get together. The people of Dem
yer, who have feared a repetition of
walking campaign of last summer,
view the action of the industrial COM
mission with pleasure. This commits
sion is at last composed of men who
are determined to look after the well
fare of the public first. It has pre-
vented large number of strikes dur

It's strange, isn't it, that the only
ones who are finding fault with the
firm manner in which Governor
Shoup has prevented rioting in this
state are those who have shown a
marked disposition to encourage
rioting.
Law and order have been Republican
principles since there was Republi-
can party. A Republican Governor in
Colorado is standing on those prin-
ciples. Americans who want to work
are being permitted to work without
interference on the part of foreigners
and l. W. W.'s. And that position is
truly gratifying to every Coloradoan.

To be an American is to have faith
and confidence in that great document
that made US free nation-the Con-
stitution. To advocae its adjustment
is to be un-American; do deny equal
ity, fairness and equity are to be found
in this country is to court revolution;
to insist any one class is favored over
any other class by this government, is
to encourage I. W. W.-ism; to refuse
to work when there is public demand
for that which your labor will produce,
is criminal; to demand changes in our
laws by force is sedition; to believe
anything told you having for its basis
some wrong alleged to have been done,
is to show lack of personal courage;
to repeat idle charges Of alleged wrong
doing is to aid and abet foreign ene-
mics in their effort to destroy this na-
tion.- Keep these things well in mind
at all times and you will be proving,
in substantial way, your American
ism.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1920-01-08

What this country needs is less agi-
tation and more repose. The evils
which seem to exist-alleged profi-
teer, the high cost of living, so-called
Industrial unrest"-will continue just
so long as the majority of the people
are engaged in making it continue
When we bring ourselves to a state
of national repose, then will the
things which seem evils disappear
and disappear quickly. We have be-
come nation Of scolds, fault-finders
and natural grouches. Good cannot
come from such a mental attitude.
You all know that. Adjustment can
not come with every one defying ad-
justment. Fairness cannot come with
every one fighting against fairness.
Stop scolding, stop finding fault, stop
grouching and when you do the real
troubles will settle themselves. This
is not theory. It is just good COM
mon hard sense. Let's try it.

DISCUSSES SCHOOL ATTENDANCE.
Officer Pleased With OPP
GRAFTON of Law in the County.

''In Bamberg county the compul-
sorry attendance law is working ad-
mira bly, in those schools in which it
is now operating,' says n. H. Fen
der, county school attendance off,
Ger. "No cases of wilful violation OF
the law have been reported, and on
ly very few cases have been re-
ported for investigation. In such
cases it has been found that the ex-
cuse was legitimate. The majority
of the schools are just beginning the
compulsory term this month. AS far
as l know I have visited all the
schools that have put the law into
effect this session, and l shall visit
the others within the next few days.
l should like for all the schools that
have not already started the compul-
sorry term to begin as near the first
of this month as possible.
Il shall give one very striking in
stance of the working of the law in
the Bamberg school. While visiting
the grades there l found that in the
sixth grade, Mrs. Murdaugh teacher,
there was not mark on the register
for the month of October, which
means that there were no pupils ab-
cont or tardv for thaf month Thora
is an enrolment of % pupils in that
grade The other grades showed fine
records also. Let the other grades
of this school and of the other schools
in the county compete with the sixth
grade of Bamberg for the month of
November"

AN UNUSUAL ACCIDENT.
Young Negro Man Found Dead Near
His DitChed Automobile.

George kearse, Jr., young negro
about IS years old, was found dead
early Saturday morning on Carlisle
street. Appearances indicated that
kearse had been the victim of an
unusual automobile accident. The
accident had taken place some time
during the night, and the boy had
been lying on the street dead proba-
bly, for some hours before he was
found by a colored woman going to
work Saturday morning.
A few yards away in the railroad
cut ditch was an automobile that told
the only tale that can be surmised as
to the cause of the negro boys death.
The car had gone head foremost into
the ditch. The wind shield was ap-
parently the only thing seriously hurt
about the car, and those who visited
the scene of the accident Saturday
morning drew the conclusion that
he had been thrown through the
windshield and that a piece of broken
glass had severed a blood vessel in
the leg. A stream of blood led from
the car to the body.
1t seems likely that Kearse either
lost control of the car or mistook
the ditch for the road, and when the
car went into the ditch the jar threw
him against the glass. 1t appeared
that small cut in the leg was the
only injury he sustained. The boy,
who was married, lived in the SER
wants house in the rear of Mrs. J.
D. Copeland, Sr's residence, and it
was evident that he was trying to get
home, when the loss of blood render
ed him unable to go further He
had gone about half way home when
he died.
Kearse was the son of George
Kearse, we'll known gardenr about
town who is highly respected.
