THE INTOLERANT COUGHLIN

II this newspaper charged Charles E.
Il Couehhn Nth deliberately trying to de-
ceive the people. he and his friends would
resent il as dirty attack They would say.
and properly that nc we're hitting below
the belt They would say nc had right
10 disagree with him but that IL was dis
honorable to ascribe 10 him deceitful motives.
We are not tempted 70 question his sin
ccritv. We assume his motives are all right
But ne think his methods are degraded.
We think it is not even decent, much less
religious for him 70 drag his dispute with
President Roosevelt down to the low level Of
charging The President with deceit.
Couchin in his speech said:
I'm order 10 deceive the people Of the
United States instead Of driving the money
changers from the temple as was promised
them the present administration in Wash
inpton is sponsoring a new banking bill pOpu-
Iarlv known as the Eccles bill IF YOU
analyze this new bill. now being sponsored by
Mr. Roosevelt. YOU will discover that it is
nothing more than a marriage license be-
tween a prostitute who has wrecked our
home and the government who has deserted
his wife the American people"
II is not necessary to point out that the
President is opposed BY the bankers. that
he forced through Congress the truth-in-
securities and stock exchange laws over the
bankers bitter protest, and that the bankers
are now fighting against the pending bank
reform bin as viciously as Coughlin. Even if
that were not tho record. It would be neither
honest nor honorable for Coughlin to say
that President Roosevelt is supporting any
bill in order TO deceive the people of the
United States"
This is a dangerous method. Not that
any one need fear the personal consequences
for President Roosevelt: he can hold his
own in the confidence of the American peo-
pie compared with any number of Coughlns.
But. unfortunately the havoc of intoler-
ancc can not be limited to its author. If
Couehln looscs the latent bgotry of this
land all VIII suffer. Reason is the only
thing that can lead us as a nation out of this
great distress. II intolerance comes in, reason
flies out the window.
In order to deceive the people of the
United States" is Coughlns slur against
those who dare disagree with him. He uses
the word prostitute" of others. Well, if he
succeeds IN prostituting political debate in
this crisis to such level, God help US all.

Can you define gambling?
What, then, is investing? BY
James w. Campbell.
All our lives we have been lee
tured on the sins of gambling"
We have been told a thousand
times that all horse players die
broke" We have been warned
that we should lead honest, up
right lives if we would command
the respect of our fellow men.
Yet nobody ever has stepped
forward to tell us exactly where
investment ends and speculation
begins. If we buy 3 per cent
bonds. we are investing, believe
the common theory has it. If we
look for a 7 per cent interest on
our money, we are specializing
right? If we are out to double
our money, then We are gambling
That must be the answer.
Now, if We play a 20-to-1-s shot,
we admit that's gambling But if
we play 2-to-1 shot, is that spec
ulating? And if we play an odds
on choice, is that investing? Our
lecturers would have us believe
that any play on horses is a gam
ble-even though we never have
denied it.
But our lecturers never suggest
that buying bonds is gambling
Oh. no. that's merely a smart in
vestment-until the bonds finish
out of the money. Then it's
swindle. And they never imply
that putting your hard-earned
shekelS in the bank at or 4 per
cent is taking a chance. but when
the bank blows up-runs second

unfortunate, but it certainly was

Although McLarnin kept his weight
a secret up to the last minute, the
word spread among fistic followers
yesterday that the champion was
considerably" under the limit of
lat pounds when he stepped on
the scales at a gymnasium and then
left without taking even short
workout.
Ross, who breezed through five
rounds of shadow boxing and bag
punching to keep himself on edge, has
no weight worries. He will be around
l40 when he crawls through the
ropes.
The confidence of the challenger S
hackers is such that many have
wagered he will knock out McLarnin,
but this eventuality appears remote.
Ross should win handily on points,
but if there are any real punching
fireworks McLarnin is more likely to
explode them. The champions best
chance is to nail his rival early enough
in the fight to gain and press an ad-
vantage. Otherwise, the longer the

BY JACK DEMPSEY,

Former World Heavyweight Champion.
n YEW YORK, May 2s-The old
m welterweisht championship
seems to be in for another
kicking around tonight, and
this time it appears as If Barney
Ross will win back the championship.
Probably the only sure thing about
the Ross battle is that it will
be a corking good fight. Ross, from
his training, the way he has been
improving and his general condition,
is the fellow you have to pick. If his
opponent were any one else but Jimmy
McLarnin. there'd be nothing to it..
But McLarnin is sweet fighter. He's
a little old" but he has taken very
good care of himself, and we know
he's a smart boxer.
With all this in mind, we've got to
base our prediction for this bout on
the fact that one fighter is coming
along, is improving, and the other one
is, to put it mildly, not improving In
deed. Jimmy has gone back. Maybe
Jimmy will surprise all those who
toboggan. Well find that out after
they've been in there tossing leather
at each other for a few rounds.
Slowed, but Still Tough.
JIMMY has slowed up. He always
was a sturdy. powerful little fell
low. and even Ross admits that Jimmy
hits hard. I am afraid McLarnin's
right hand won't stand up for him as
we'll as 1t did in the old days. It's
been busted, you know, and it's had
q lot of hard usage But he still has
a dynamite left. for little chap. and
I'm strong for fellow who has a good
paralyzing left.
Ross knows this about McLarnin's
left, and he'll be in there watching
it. Ross Is not an easy boy to hit.
He. too. is a pretty good boxer. one
of the finest, in fact, and he is the
only boxer who ever held the light
weight and welterweight titles at the
same time.
They've gone through 80 rounds
t0getner. tneSe Two, ana the ngntlng
was so close that at the end OF the
80 rounds you might say they were
about even. Figuring this way. the
bout ought to see them finish in a
draw. but who can predict draw?
I mean. who would?
McLarnin has done a lot of surpris-
ing things before, and he's just as
likely to surprise the fans at this
fight, but you can't pull any ifs ands
or butts when you're giving your opin-
ion as to who will win.
The fans want some definite pick
ing. I've got just as much chance TO
be wrong as the next one. And I'm
not alone in picking Ross I guess
the majority of the experts will pick
him. or already have done so. One

Jimmy may produce sufficient punch
to offset the danger of both factors

battle odds seem stacked against him,
No 147-pound king has survived his
