Fight for
Quakers?
NY HENRY T.. FARRELL

NEW YORK. Jan. .. - Definite
IN moves to stage the Dempsey
Wills fight in Philadelphia next sum-
mer arc seen behind the negotiations
ia process TO turn the control of the
Philadelphia arena over TO Tex Rick
ard.
While II has not been confirmed
here, 1t is positively known that
Richard wants to get the arena.
which is the Madison Square Gar
dem of Philadelphia, and that lie
will be successful.
In moving toward Philadelphia.
Richard is either seeking a place OF
refuge or he is acting upon a desire
to extend his field of operations.
II the politicians in New York car
ry out their threat TO Gust Richard or
repeal the boxing law, he would have
an ideal spot in Philadelphia because
II Is the greatest fight town in the
country. II the campaign against
him fails. he would have very fine
field in which TO extend bis activi.
ties.
The intention TO stage the Demp.
sey.Wills fight in Philadelphia Is al.
most obvious. The attorney general
OF Philadelphia ruled yesterday that
the ban which the state boxing COM
mission placed upon mixed bouts"
was not constitutional. and that IL
would have TO be rescinded. This
means that no legal barriers can be
placed in the way OF Dempsey
Wills fight in Pennsylvania. Condi.
lions are such In New York that the
bout cannot be held here for some
time, II ever.
The chief complaint OF the politi.
clans in New York is that Richard
came rs a stranger and took all the
big business and money from native
New Yoikers' who had 'constitu-
tional rights TO all the spoils.

Well Nouched For

Both Coolidge and Dawes are
economically sound and are wond-
erful balance wheel for this country
That is the opinion of Thomas A.
Edison. His view is shared by Henry
Ford and Harvey Firestone. They
have been travelling around the coun-
try together and find that the people
are wholly satisfied with the Coolidge
administration. The opinion OF such
men is worthy of special notice. They
are all employers OF labor on a huge
scale, and have the reputation OF hav-
ing great solicitude for the welfare
OF their workers. They view public
affairs both from the standpoint of
business and OF the wage earners.
They believe the Republican ticket
meets the best interests OF all con-

Remove Uncertainty

In order to avert throwing the

president, the New York Times de-
clares that The hope OF sensible
citizens will be that one candidate
or another will receive a majority in
the electoral college And all sensi-
Bile citizens must perceive that the
prediction standing of the three
candidates shows Coolidge first, Davis
second. and La Toilette a poor
third. Any candid observer comedies
that President Coolidge will get more
votes than either OF his two oppo-
nents. 1t is the evident duty OF
sensible citizens to turn a certain

A Different Tune

Canyon county Progressives are
faced this year with something new in
politics when they conduct a defen-
sive political campaign. More than
that. the problem OF smoothing out
their own troubles will require more
political sagacity than the party ma
chine apparently possesses.
Progressive political methods are
built upon the hypothesis that it is
easy enough to create dissatisfaction
with those. holding Office. And Pro-
gressives have been particularly
adept at the bombastic. lambasting
and. wiihai. meaningless sort of a
campaign that requires. 1t is easy to
shout graft and dirty politics and
feet in the hog trough" and big
business" and "favors for the few
when you are outside and want to
get in. But it is another thing again
when you have TO defend what you
have done on the inside. Difficult
indeed that problem becomes with
such muddling methods as those EN-
ployed by the county commissioners
and the Socialstic doctrines of Con
dominating the party.

hat the Progressive political machine

The Roads Suffer

The Nampa Leader Herald caus
tically comments that Canyon count,
roads have not suffered by Con Thue
sons absence on a political jauni
into counties not quite so solidy
Progressive as Canyon has been
Probably the Leader Herald is right
So long as Thueson must draw his
salary, why not admit that it is a
pension and be done with it?
For instance. the commissioner
records for July show that $500. 81
was spent on Canyon county roads
or presumed to have been spent
therein that one month. Thueson
directed the expenditure of that mon
ey. And if the county received value
for that cash, the roads ought to show
it. 1t is significant that they do not.
Quoting The Leader Herald again
The Leader Herald has Pro-
gressive authority for the state
ment that Con Thueson, Canyon
county road supervisor, has not
done 80 days of honest to God
work at the job in the past eight
months. though he has regularly
drawn his $3.50 per month.
As he aspires to be a leader
and boss in his party and has
met with considerable success in
that role, one can hardly expect
him to get right down to work
and earn the money he gets from
the taxpayers OF the county. If
he does good work over the state

portancc OF having honest officials

Thinks

Dow Dunnings suggestion that the
Progressives use the hippopotamus
as their symbol is meeting with some
favor BOWS idea OF the suitablencss
OF the emblem was based largely up
on the fact that it has been discover
cd that the big beast can be properly
trained, but other advantages might
symbolically accrue. The hippo is
very thick-skinned ard thoroughly
impcrvous to ordinary shafts. 1t has
less intelligence for its bulk than any
known animal. 1t will rush in blind
ly where others fear to tread. 1t has
a very large head with little in it. 1t
has a very small tail, which. how
ever. follows whithersoever it may
go. This proposed symbol OF the
Progressive party lives mostly on hay
or whatsoever it can pick up in the
green-stuf line. 1t is very fabby
and its huge bulk contains nothing
of any value alive or dead. The hip.
po is harmless unless scared or hurt,
when it is liable to go on the prod /.
It's agility is amazing for its bulk.
