Gibbons Better Man
Than All Others
Dempsey Has Met

! New York, June 2S.-(By A. Ply
When Tommy Gibbons. ST. Paul
heavyweight steps into the ring at
Shelby, Montana, July 1, against Jack
Dempsey. the champion, he may be
compared in some respects to Cen
tleman Jim" Corbett when that dap
per boxing wizard squared off against
John l.. Sullivan at New Orleans in
1892.
Gibbons chances against Dempsey
have been belittled by a majority of
the experts, and indeed, the Minne-
sotan hardly appears heavy puncher
enough to flatten the Coloradan. But
like his middleweight brother Mike,
| THE Phantom" Tommy is a master
boxer, cool in combat always clever,
always fast, and a puncher of no
mean ability.
At least year older than Dempsey,
an inch or two shorter and really a
light heavyweight, Gibbons may not
be able to stand before the champion
for % rounds. Except in age Corbett
was much younger than Sullivan
when they met at New Orleans
Gibbons and Dempsey will be like
"Gentleman jim. and Terrible John
L." in that famous scrap of 81 years
ago.
Sullivan's terrific punching power.
like that of the Dempsey of today,
caused many sturdy opponents
knees to quake when he thought of it,
and MANY of them were defeated by
fear before Sullivan laid a glove on
them. Not so Corbett. When Jim
took his corner at New Orleans, John
L. scowled. shuffled his feet and spat
on the ring floor, his customary
greeting. jim laughed and chatted
with ring -siders as the gloves. were
being pushed on his hands. He paid
no attention to Sullivan. Z 4~.
Through the rounds. as agile Jim
sidestepped Sullivan's bull like
PUSHES, the champion became infuri-
ated. Came then the famous tive nty-
first round, Corbett still strong and
smiling. The wear of the fight had
told on Sullivan; he was angered, but
even then had he been able to punch
Corbett solidly he would have re-
tanned the title. Corbe' landed five
crashing blows to the jaw
Sullivan kept his feet, but his eyes
began to roll. He was tottering. Cor

landed on the jaw point. Old Johns
knees sagged and he keeled slowly
over.

debtor nations. The total interest which the
American taxpayers will have to put up In the
next twenty-five years, due to the failure of for
eign governments to keep their promises, will not
be far from $500. 900, 900. Add that to the in
terest already paid and to the principal which
probably we will eventually have to pay, and
we reach n total of $500, 000, 900.
Future developments may reduce or increase
that huge sum, but present indications are that
twenty-five years from now the books of the
treasury will show that the American taxpay-
ers have contributed that tremendous total as
a European war indemnity. 1t is almost as great
as the original loans to the allies, and equals
the entire reparations bill which France hopes
to extract from Germany.
At the time of the distribution Of former Ger
man colonial territories as "mandates" among
Great Britain, France, and Japan, it was esti-
mated that British wealth had been increased
100000, 000, 900 as n result of the war, and that
French wealth, through the acquisition of Alsace
Lorraine and German territory in Africa, was
far greater than before the war. Any c%onstruc-
tive Indemnity that Great Britain may be pay
ing is but a tiny fraction of her war accretions.
What did the United States get?, Nothing. Yet
we arc being called upon to pay an indemnity
bill that is likely to exceed the entire amount of
PREPARATIONS that may be squeezed out of Ger
many. 1t is time that the American people awoke
to the true situation and appraised at their real
value the statements of alien propagandists who
belittle what America has done, while at tho
same time they 1aud their own national virtues.

Unreasonable Fear

Almost every one has some sort of unreason.
able fear of something or other. Some are afraid
OF thunder and lightning, others are frightened
almost into spasms when on the edge of a pre-
cipice or when looking down at the water from
n high bridge. Others are distracted over the
sense of being in closed spaces, are fearful when
in tunnels and almost suffocate in terror when
surrounded by fog. Then there are some people
who have something like the same fear Of poy.
erty although they possess wealth. The fear of
disease disturbs the quiet and peace of mind
of many persons.
One thing you should remember Is that though
any one of these fears II allowed to FREEDOM.
mate ones thoughts becomes abnormal, at the
same time it is quite normal to possess some one
or more particular forms of fear. 1t is normal
because nearly everyone is so possessed.
Quite apart from the effect it may have upon
you to dwell upon your pet fear, it "a very bad
form and inconsiderate to talk much or dwell
much on your fear or fears when with other
people. Sometimes women, especially Young wo.
men, seem to imagine that there is something
appealing to the masculine fancy in the woman
who is afraid-afraid to walk n plank, afraid
OF snakes, afraid of the dark. She screams and
trembles and makes the most of her terror. In
reality, n little of this goes n long way. And even
n devoted admirer becomes n little bored, event.

Still Keeping History Straight

Private Dalzell a noted figure in the public
life of Ohio thirty years ago still lives at an adj
vanced age in Washington. Among the prlvates
best remembered activities, was to keep history
straight. No public man on the other side OF the
political fence was permitted to get away with
the slightest error in statement. He was held to
a strict accountability. As may be imagined the
private was a busy man and the newspapers
were filled with his articles bearing the we'll
known signature. He was a widely known char.
acter, wore his hair long, was full of pep and
dearly loved to route a Democrat in argument.
Therefore it is like picking up an old book of
which you were fond but had not seen in many
years, to note that the private had once more
taken his pen in hand to tell the world the
straight of it with reference to the presidency.
Here is what the private says:
of not lights, here are some shadows Of the
coming events of 1924. If tradition or precedent
figure at all:
man from any part of that great empire of the
Western States has ever yet been chosen, even
nominated for the presidency.
NEARLY all our more recent. presidents have
come from the central section of the union-only
three from New England yet. Indeed, only two of
them chosen by election for John Quincy Adams
was elected by the house, and Chester A. Arthur
succeeded on the death of Garfield. The last New
Highlander nominated and elected was Franklin
Pierce % New Hampshire, in 1858. seventy years
ago-a significant interval. It's n strange coin
cidence that both Arthur and Coolidge were
born in Vermont, and both reached the presi-
uencN the same way.
"Will the parallel continue to run as 1t has in
tradition and history? No one can tell yet! Our
conventions for three-quarters of a century have
never nominated a New Highlander, for Blaine of
Maine was born in Pennsylvania.
Bancroft emphasizes the statement often that
Washington never understood New England's
soldiers and statesmen, and even more strongly
says that they never understood him at all.
"One has heard the same opinion advanced
about the mutual feeling of Northern distrust of
men from the South. Yet most of our early presi.
dents were from the South, and two, at one cleo
ton in 1S601S65 Lincoln of Kentucky and
johnson of North Carolina actually elected
both on the anne day! The South has had twelve
presidents and is now seeking to place another.
Ohio and Virginia together have furnished fiji.
teen presidents. OF the seven presidents from
Ohio not one served his term except Grant, and
though born in Ohio, he was really from Illinois.
"The mighty state of New York really elected
but one president, Van Buren,; the other two,
Fillmore and Roosevelt, same in by death. The
premonitory presidential prognosticators may
try their teeth on these problems. 1t may guide
them in forecasting who will not be nominated
anyhow, aud so simplify the problem by elimin.
ation.'

Speaking of War Indemnities

When Lord Birkenhead says "Great Britain
today is in the position of being the only power
that is paying indemnity for the war" this dis
tinguished Briton has overlooked what the Unit
ed States is doing. For more than four years the
taxpayers of this country have been paying the
interest on about ten billion dollars loaned TO
the allies to assist them in the prosecution of
the war. About $450.OO0,00 Ga year has been
wrung from our overburdened people TO meet
that bill. which twenty allied nations had sol
EMMY pledged themselves to pay. To date, the
total amount which the American taxpayers
have been forced to contribute because of the
failure of those debtor nations to fulfill their
promises is, roughly, two billion dollars. What
is that but n war indemnity?
Recently Great Britain signed an agreement to
meet the interest on her obligations to the flu.
ture, and eventually to pay the principal in c.
annual installments. That reduces the amount
terest to about $4,000, 600, 1000. The annual taxes
for that purpose will be close to $500, OOO. 900.
But the collection of that huge sum is problem
atical. Only n few small countries which owe in
consequential parts of it have shown n DISPOSE
tion to come forward and make arrangements for
its repayment. A large part of the total may
never find its way back to the American treasury
that is, to the American taxpayers. What is that
loss but a war indemnity? 1t is an unacceptable
burden directly resulting from the conflict.
What will be the situation twenty-five years
hence? Sometime during that period arrange.
ments may be made by debtor nations for paw.
ment of the interest and principal of half the
amount now owed. That would leave about three
billion dollars principal which apparently our
own people must pay, and they will have in each
OF the twenty-five years an average interest
charge of around s15o.O00.0O0. depending mon
the time and terms of further refunding by the
