The latest story going the rounds
is the one about Paddy Mullins offer
ing to fight Dempsey when the latter
came out of the office OF the New
York boxing commission after apply
ing for license the other day Null
Inns. who is old and gray, wanted to
scrap with the champion for signing
to fight Gene Tunney before meeting
his own challenger, the dusky Harry
Wills.
Wills has been rather persistently
challenging Dempsey for the past few
years without any success TO speak
of. However, Mullins can't place all
the blame on Dempsey for the failure
of these two men to get together in
the squared circle. Three contracts
were signed at different times but all
three fell through
Personally, we do not think that
Dempsey would have passed up the
chance to gather up a few hundred
thousand dollars if the promoters had
insisted upon his meeting the colored
battler Tunney has been a sort of
idol with the fans around New York
for his fighting activities during the
World War and has had enough ex-
perience to bring him to the stage
where he is the logical CHOICE for a
challenger.
Tunney is faster than Wills. prob
ably has as,much punch as the negro
who is noted for a pair of brittle sal
airy mitts, and is a clever ring gen.
eral. 1t IS, however, very doubtful
L h. is1 r11e n the
colorcd man could have stood UP
| under.
The public has been clamoring louc
and long for A Dempsey-Wills match
This has probably been done for two
reasons In the first place, Wills is
a negro and the fans want to see that
he is given a fair show with the rest
Of the contenders, and in the second
place it has been the ardent desire
of many fans to see someone paste
Dempsey with a sleep wsllop that viii
last for a month of Sundays. With
Tunney selected as the choice ii is
doubtful If much more is heard of
Wills until the fight on September Is
Cf it takes place. has become history
Everyone will agree that Wills de-
serves a chance TO try and fatter
Dempsey. However, in justice To
Dempsey We do not think the cham
pion had as much to do with the bout
falling through as did the promoters
who We're skeptical of Wills chances
against the champion. who has fought
MANY battles and who avera Sed lot

A NEW LEASE FOR HAueENIsM

The Democrats In Congress had
been, up to the time that Secretary
Mellon SO lucidly explained the real
effect Of Haugenism, of food tax
under the guise of an equalization
fee. somewhat hesitant about en-
dorsing 1t. They have no reluctance
about going on record for lowering
the tariff but coming out fiat-foot-
ed for measure that would tax
eighty million people for question
able benefit to thirty millions. in
event of such plan becoming an
actually. they SHE'D at. But when
Secretary Mellon stated the danger
of the measure they took this as
evidence that President Coolidge
would veto 1t II Congress should lay
1t on the White House doorstep.
A veto of q pet measure of the
Midwest farmers! What a chance
for campaign material that would
afford. They thereupon changed
their tactics and set to work to help
the measure through Congress,
where before they withheld their
support. They are chortling and the
Haugen bill has taken on new life.
Meanwhile MELONS statement
stands: European labor could pur-
chase American products at lower
price and could live more cheaply
than American labor. Foreign in
dustrial costs would be lowered and
foreign competitors assisted In
underselling American products
abroad and in our home market"
But what Of 1t? Hasn't the Demo-
cratic party clamored for lower
tariff, 10, these many years? This
is but another way for taking away
some Of the protection now afforded
American industry and indirectly
aiding the foreigner to easier COM
petition.
Evidently there are certain prom
inent Republicans more concerned
about politics IN the middle West
than they are respecting wage cond1-
lions. Ex-Governor Lowden is one
of these, President Dawes is
another, who is said to be helping
