How the American Legion Feels
About Ii.

What is soon to be remembered as the
strangest controversy in the history OF
international sport has been started by
the Home Sector, official organ of the
American Legion, which has sent out an
advance copy of an editorial in which it
will challenge the right of Jack Dempsey
TO represent the United States in box
ing contest with Georges Carpenter on
the ground of his war record, or rather
his lack of one.
There are those who will say that this
matter is trivial at the present moment
when the world is bewildered by the in
Vulnerable problems, political, financial
and racial, which confront the nations and
the individual But, on the other hand,
it cannot be denied that in period of
reaction following one of tension many
things become important that would have
been dismissed with a shrug of the sboul-
ders but short while before.
Interest in boxing has been a tradition
with America and Great Britain for gen.
erations. France has acquired the tradi-
ton of late-and incidentally the cham
pionship Of Europe-while the Belgians
are in the fashion and have, in their dis
tinguished poet Maurice Maeterlinck, one
who is able to combine skill with the fists,
skill with the drama and skill in mys-
ticism.
Besides. it cannot be forgotten that the
Dempsey Carpenter fight, should it oc-
cur. would be great piece of news, prob
ably eclipsing every other event. 1t
would be talked of in every club and place
where men congregate,' from San Fran
cisco east to Calcutta. 1t would be n
would involve millions of dollars, directly
and indirectly.
Anyhow, leaving these considerations
aside, the American Legion. representing
as it does the very flower of the youth of
the country, with a fine. record, has a
right to express an opinion on anything
in which it is interested, and that opinion
is deserving of respectful attention.
What the Home Sector objects to in
its official capacity is the application of
the title Americas greatest fighter" to
Dempsey.
It points out that he never knew the
feel of soldiers gun on his shoulder, the
weight Of full pack on his back, the
weary length of muddy kilometre or the
whine of an enemy shell passing over
head.
It wants to know why the hero of "a
few weeks in the shipyards," the hero of
two peaceable and eminently profitable
years in the United States while the
greatest worlds championship was being
fought several thousand miles away"
should be allowed to represent the real
fighting men Of the nation.
But Of course Jack Dempsey, the
holder Of the worlds championship and
the prospective defender of it against
Georges Carpenter, the former French
soldier, who is the champion of Europe,
has right to his day in the court Of
public opinion. He cannot he condemned
unheard. Possibly there were good rea-
sons, unknown to the American Legion.

The World and Its Hoover Boom.

The World boldly commits itself to the
support of Mr.. Herbert G. Hoover for
the Presidency. I'VE should be glad" it
says, ito support Mr.. Hoover as the Demo.
cratic candidate for President on a plat
form that represented the historical prin-
ciples of the Democratic party. We
should be glad to support him as an in
dependent candidate on a platform of
progressive liberalism. We should not
hesitate to support him as the Republican
candidate on platform representing the
kihC of government which MI. Hoover
has exemplified in his public career"
1t cannot be complained that the Worlds
support lacks anything in comprehensive
ness. Some of Mr.. Hoover's friends and
well wishers may question whether be is
hoped by backing which seems to convey
,hc impression that he is an opportunist
seeking support from any quarter, but
tlat Interpretation would be unjust to
Mr.. Hoover, who has made it clear that
he is seeking no party's nomination.
Naturally, however, these utterances
are sure TO create talk and give rise to
nuch speculation. In view of the ardent
and sometimes hysterical support given
tc the present administration by the
: " orld, is its pronouncement to be taken
as notice to the country that Mr.. Wilson
Is not TO be a third tenn candidate? And
that administration politicians, for whom
The World is presumed to speak, are tu-n-
ins perhaps in desperation-to man
whose political affiliations are, to say the
least not definite but are apparently more
Republican than Democratic?
Mr.. Hoover Slipped cog" when he
Nised the country in 1913 to provide
itself with solid Democratic Congress.
But the slipping of that cog would hardly
in itself disqualfy Mr.. Hoover as Presi-
Dental candidate and for the reason tina.
the best and ablest men have not been
free from notable errors of Judgment
The World is certainly showing great
fexibility when it asserts its readiness
to support the candidate of the Demo
cratic party or the candidate Of the Re-
publican party or the candidate of any
old party il that candidate be Herbert G.
Hoover. This would seem to eliminate
the World as the leading Democratic
organ of the country-and determination
at that.

THE TALE OF
FRANKLIN'S KITE.
BY WILLIAM LUDLuM.

By WILLIAM LII tDLOMs
Long years ago Ben Franklin tossed
A kite up to the gale;
1t had leading string to earth,
Likewise a guiding tail.
And when the storm clouds split their
lead
or lightning DER the land,
The juice ran down the dripping string
And tickled Franklin's hand.
Since Franklin dared the lightning's
flash
Strange things have come about;
The many comforts he had not
We cannot do without.
The telegraph. the telephone.
The incandescent light,
The trolley car, the wireless,
All followed Franklins kite.
When Franklin's kite went up in air
Gle was Poor Richard them,
His bcld exploit provided kites
For mary other men.
We call them ''rrofiteers'' today,
Who do not hesitate
To fly the price of everything
Up to the highest rate.
Ben Franklin was the only known
Poor Richard" of his day;
But numberless arc those who now
For that same title lay.
Price boosters so manipulate
The markets rise and fall
That they have made. by "kitinG"
things.
Poor Richards" of us all.

Americas Wealth and Recuperative
Power.

Americas Wealth and Recuperative
Study of the six wars in which America
has been involved, beginning with the
Revolution and ending with the great
European war, reveals its remarkable
wealth and recuperative powers. Not
the challenge of pacifists
and peace leagues, the, United States Of
fers a living example of vitality and dy-
manic force of alpeaceful people six times
driven to the sword-six times forced to
appeal to arms. The record of these six
wars is conclusive proof that the United
States possesses unrivalled resources and
.recuperative power.
When the Revolutionary War was ended
it was found that the struggling nation
owed $170,O0O,O00. 1t may be assumed
that that was the approximate cost of the
first American war. The War of 1912
cost the government about S129 900, 900.
The Mexican War cost $173,OOO.O00. The
civil war cost about $3.476,OOO, 900. The
war with Spain cost about $4S7 900, 900.
The great war, of 1917-191S cost, ac-
cording to authentic figures, gross total
of $4,000, ,OOO, ,000-less $9.4O0,OOO,O 900
loaned to other countries-leaving a net
cost of about 500 2.60O,O0O,OOO.
During this period the wealth of the
United States has increased steadily
from few millions to S1s7, 900, 900, 900 in
1912 and [estimatedl $22s.OO0. 900 900
in 1918. Probably no people have dis
played more financial power, more Geo.
nomic recuperation than the people of
America. Despite the six wars, despite
the cries of the pessimists. despite the
oracles OF despair on every side, not yet is
America bankrupt financially, morally or
spiritually. American institutions, Amer
lean ideals are safe.
