Picking the Winner

There little doubt, we suppose in the minds of a majority of American citizens regarding the outcome of the controversy Tuesday night between the Hon. Jack Dempsey and the equally Hon. Bill Brennan. The facility, say the ferocity with which Mir. Dempsey had celebrated our last natal 1. day by the vanqushment of the giant, Willard though, perhaps somewhat yellow giant had in clined the American people his side of the debate and they. doubt expected him to dispose of Mr. Brennan by tho eliminating process of eating him up alive" MT Brennan proved to be unex- pectedy tough morsel though he finally succumbed to the maxiary efforts of MT Dempsey.
 As rule in prize fights the champion wins, and is good bet was logically set forth by the late Hon. Joe Cans while visiting Phoenix for the purpose of mending his health which, however he had too long neglected Always bet on the cham peen," advised MT. Gans the champeen never loses but And he must be a pretty good man or he would not get to be champeen"
 The wisdom of the ages is compressed into those sapent words. It is proved by experience At first blush may think that NIT. Cans was in error Looking back the records of fistaraL we find that almost every "ehanpeene has ceased with suddenness and pain to be "champeen''- Tom Allen, Joe Goss. Paddy Ryan Sullivan, Corbett Fitzsimmons, Jeffries Johnson and Willard All of the lineal heavyweights last forty-fve years The "champeen" must sometime succunb if he stays with the game. Otherwise there would be a paucity of hope for heavyweghts- s-apparent
 But one thing those disposed to controvert the dictum of Mir. Cans overlook. is that usually before the "champeen" goes down he has put down many good man who aspired his position of erninence Thus the victories of the champeen" are as many te one, of his defeats The law of probabilities or averages, therefore, favors the man who bets on tho "champeen" Nor can safely neglect the char of past performances in choosing the probable win ner of any sort of contest.
 But this is only wearisome and verbose rene tition of what the experienced Mr. Cans sought i, convey, and who in two sentences uttered a month full

 He now informs the world that it was not that all but his dissatisfaction with interference by the British 1917 with the policies of the ship ping board, and the influence it striving to exert at a time when. says MT. Denman, we were still in the air"
 The nature of the influence which the British trying exercise is not explained by MT. Den but it may presumed that it was against his wooden ship program strongly opposed by General Goethals. We recall that there advice from British against wooden ship program.
 In that early stage of the shipping boards career, suggestions advice if not influence, should have been welcomed. for the board had been unable to agree upon program.

HOW TO BE HAlR.RRAlNEp

One way to tell the hair-b -brained from the others these days is to note those who repeat rumors picked up from somewhere or other that such and-such bank has failed. or who think it is fine joke to call up a friend and tell him his bank has gone under. and then add: Nav. George, was only a. foolin' va. But say. I did hear, etc, etc" The difficulty about handling these poor humaas and running the rumor down to it's source is that the peddlers of it haven't brains enough to remember from one minute to the next who it was that gave them the rumor And did you ever notice that the man who seems to take delight in running around cackling "A bank has failed A bank has failed!" is notoriously g malcontent or has made a failure ol i his business life?
 The slogan of the day should be, We haven't any roo mfor rumors.

HI HICKS THE WEATHER
 BOOSTER
By Edmund Vance Cook

 Hiram Hicks was booster, who boasted his town: He boosted it up and he boasted il down. His lungs and his conscience were tougher than leather And therefore he oftentimes boasted it's weather, And whenever the climate proved somewhat remiss. He would croon, Why. we never have weather like this!" When the mercury shivered and frozs in the bowl, When it leaped in the glass like suf- fering soul, When a drouth drove the molecules out of ones blood, When the rains were the heaviest known since the Flood. Still Hiram would gurgle in accents of bliss, Some mistake, why, we never have weather like thisl" The obvious sequel is clearer than water. He departed this life to a world that is hotter. The devil received him with ardent embraces And set him at once in the warmest of places. And remarked as Hfs hide was be- ginning to hiss, why, we never have weather as frosty as thisl"

KANSAS CITY, Afo.-Harry J. Hahn. automobile dealer of Junction City, Kansas, owed P A. Sutermeister of this city $15 for accessory parts, Suter- nneister said He heard Hahn had an oil painting in Kansas City, so he sued out an attachment on the picture. When the constable went to the Fine Arts institute to remove it he asked casually how much it was worth. "It's valued at a quarter of a million" the custodian informed him. Its La Balle Feronniere,' said to be an original Da Vinci." The terrified constable re- turned empty handed and advised Suterneister to attach something that wasn't worth more than 8 hundred thousand.

ODD, ISN'T IT?

Among other unaccountable things in the tragic life of Phoenix is the fact that reckless drivers Of automobiles never are the cause of fatal accidents. It's always the careful driver moving at 12 miles per hour who has to tell the coroner's jury that he was not to blame for the death of the victim. How could he be? He was going only 12 miles per hourl And of course our peculiar statutes require the coro- ner's jury to believe everything the defendant witness tells them, and to disregard testimony to the contrary oi disinterested witnesses. Our felicita- tions go to the reckless drivers for the clean records they have in ou1 local courts; our sympathy goes to the prosecuting attorney. who is forc%1 ro stand helplessly by anu sec mese kill ings go on.
