TUE PUGILIsTIC OUTLOOK.

Harry Wills. who now halls from,
New York, but who is accredited to
New Orleans, Louisiana is the latest
Negro candidate for the heavyweight
championship. Manager Brady Of New
York has agreed to post two hundred
thousand dollars to back him in a
fight against Champion Jack Dempsey
Fifty thousand dollars Of this amount
have already been posted as forfeit.
This Is virtually reply to the declara.
ton Of the champion that he is not
afraid of any man living and that he
barred none in his confidence that he
can retain his title.
He now says that If there Is de-
.mand on the part Of the people of the
country that he meet Pugilist Harry
Wills, he will fight him. This is equiya
lent to saying that he will not accept
the wager. 1t will be long time be-
fore a championship bout between a
white and a colored one for the chacl
pi"Hshlp VIII Dc SI"Scu Ill lhlS vi any
other country. 1t will be necessary
for Harry Wills to vanquish every
white and colored heavyweight pugi.
list in the country without half trying
before he will come into the limelight
to worry Champion Jack Dempsey and
force from the sporting people Of this
country demand that he meet him.

He continues:

Whether It IS temperance, or justice,
or greater freedom, moral excellence
or national glory. that we DESIRE
whether we happen to be conservatives
or radicals. reformers or liberals. we
must become cult. write our philosc
ply of life in flaming headlines ana

ter If we meanwhile surrender every
value for which we must strive tc ca.
iOle the majority into imagining itself
On our side, Cor only with the majority
with us whoever we are, cnn we live.
1t IS numbers, not values, that count
quantity not quality. Everybody
must ''moral-crusade," "agitata,"
"press.agent.' play politics. Everyone
is forced To speak as the crowd, think
as the crowd, understand as tho crowd.
The tendency is to smother all that is
unique. rare, delicate. If you are to
get anywhere in this progressive age
you must be vulgar, you must add to
your vulgarity JUNCTION. You must
take sides upon dilemmas which are
but half true, change the tempo Of
your music to ragtime. eat your spirit
ual food with q knife, drape yourself
In the flag Of the dominant party. In
other words. YOU must be zone hundred
per cent" crowd man
"This is condition and not theory
that confronts u.s." He says:
The effect Of all this upon the individ

hold himself ever in readiness to wig.
gle-waggle in the perpetual Simon.Says
thumbs-up game which his crowd Is
playing. He spends his days playing
part which others have written for him
los, ::::::::.."h Of his genuineness and cour
age. and pampe"n himself with imlta-
ton virtues and secondhand truths.
Upon the social peace the effect is
equally bad. Unnecessary and meaning
less strife is engendered. An idolatry
Of phrases is enthroned.. A silly game
Of bullying and deception is carried on
among contending crowds, national. 70
fg!dus. moral, social. The great truths
OF PATRIOTISM morality, and religion
become hardly more than caricatures
mere Instruments Of crowds for put
ting their rivals on the defensive and
securing obeisance from the members
Of the crowd itself, easily repudiated
in the hour Of the crowds victory.
This is very good description OF
all Of our politicians and many Of orr
statesmen. He continues further:
The crowd is state OF mind. A pecu
liar psychic change must happen to a
group of'people before they become
crowd. And rs this change is not mere
iy release Of emotion. neither is It.
the creation of collective mind by
means Of imitation and suggestion. My
thesis is that the crowd-mind Is pm.
nomenon which should hest be c1assei
with dreams, delusions. and the vari-
Gus forms Of automatic behavior. The
controlling IDEAS Of the crowd are tho
result neither OF reflection nor Of
"suggestion." hut are akin to what the
psychoanalysts term "comDlexes.
Crowd ideas are "fixations:" they are
always symbolic; they are always relat
ed to something reDressed in the I'M.
conscious
He describes this condition further:

TO us, 1t looks like the irony OF
fate practical demonstration of tho
divine announcement, The same
measure we mete, tho same shall DO
measured to you again" Away up yon
der IN tho Southwestern part Of tho
State In the neighborhood Of Fincastl lie
Virginia, some time ago, Il crowd Of
white urchins chased IL colored boy,
named Edward Thompson. While he
should not have had q revolver, he had
the weapon 'and no fired it into tho
crowd Of his tormentors, with the IN
fortunate result that he shot and kill
cd the young son Of Mr.. II. S. Austin.
The colored boys parents and his
relatives and frionds regretted the hap
peEing and they sympathized' with the
bereaved white parents. But this did
not do. Edward Thompson was in hid
ing for some time and then his parents
gave him up although movement was
on foot to lynch him. The cry Of "Lcl
the law have it's course" prevailed.
Thompson was tried convicted and
sentenced to die in the electric chui1
despite all efforts OH the part OF tho
parents and other friends to save hint
So far as we have been able to under
stand the facts in the case It was a
case OF plain killing, not premeditatcd
and while it might have been classcd
as second degree murder. for which
the highest punishment is confinement.
In the Virginia penitentiary, by no
scheme Of reasoning could it be elevat
ed to first degree murder for which
the punishment is death.
But this is past event now The
boy was sentenced and Oh last Tuesday
morning, February 7th, 1929, he
went to his death. Mr.. H. S. Austin
was anxious to see the destroyer Of his
son die in the electric chair and so no
brought with him Mr.. J. II. Webb, Mr..
l. A. Crowder and Mr.. II. S. Cahoon tn
witness, the gruesome tragedy. He ap
parently wanted IAN eye for an eye. II
tooth for a tooth" He went to bed
Monday night in the Inflated Licking
ton Hotel expecting to arise early and
go over to the grim walls Of the Vir
ginia penitentiary. But the Angel Of
Denth was lowering in two places, the
Lexington Hotel and the death-cell Mt
the penitentiary. The Angel reached
the Lexington Hotel first and II. =.
Austin, white prece dcd Edward Tnomp
son, colored into Tat Unknown Lanl.
1t is a sad conclusion, for the Austin
family now have a double sorrow. This
life is too short to cherish animosities
and to demand revenge. Mr.. ]. H.
Webb Is cripple as result Of his ex.
perience. We sympathize with the
Thompson people and with the Austin
people. White people and colored PEG.
pie should live here together in a spir.
it Of friendliness and they should re.
ciprocate in kindly acts and not permit
the temporary vagaries of children to
estrange them. Hiram F.. Austin was
over--zealous and for this he has paid
the penalty and given his life. Let us
conclude with the words of William
