NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
ISSUES OVER EPITHETS

Governor Landon has been the subject OF LAVISH
unqualified unremitting, almost daily praise from
William Randolph Hearst and the Hearst newspa-
ners Governor Landon has been praised for ms
good Judgment his common sense and MS souhu
nolicies, But, most of ALL Mr. Hearst has praised
Governor Landon for his Americanism. Every
statement which has come from Mr.. Hearst and
every editorial which has appeared in his neWspa-
pers have characterized the Kansas executive as an
American, true American, patriot loyal pa
triot. and the embodiment of American principles
and American traditions.
Now in his address at Chautauqua New York,
Governor Landon said: .@.
s'In Kansas we believe that our schools-puohc,
parochial and private-must be kept free from all
control from the Federal Government.
"In Kansas we insist that no teacher should be
required to take any oath not required of all citl-
zens. .......
''In Kansas we believe in academic freedom and
we practice it" ... -...... -. 49,.
All observers were eagerly. waiting to know what
position Mr.. Hearst would take when the presiden-
taI candidate whom he has favored broke so point
edly with him on policy which has been major
crusade of all the Hearst newspapers. The reply
came three days later The Hearst newspapers be-
gan their editorial with these words:
Governor Landon's opposition to the require
nent of an oath of loyalty from teachers in Ameri-
can schools is a regrettable departure from the
high plane of true Americanism to which he has
consistently adhered" -..
Can it be that overnight Governor Landon has
become un-American? Can it be that overnight
Governor Landon has become part American and
part un-American? Can it be that overnight Gov
ernor Landon's "high plane of true Americanism
has so deserted him that when he advocates greater
freedom of economic enterprise his grasp of the
American way is strong, but that when ne adVo-
Gates greater freedom of education his grasp OF
the American way becomes weak?
We do not think so. And we believe that the
discussion of politcs-the art and science of gov
ernment-is not clarified by the use of the epithet
un-American toward those with whom we honestly
disagree Labels will not take the place of fair de-
bate and fair criticism. Mr.. Hearst is not un-Amerl
can when he disagrees with Mr.. Eandon, and Mr.
Iandon and Mr.. Roosevelt are not un-Americar
when they disagree with Mr.. Hearst, with each
other.
Both of the principal presidential candidates
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr. Landon, have been labeled
American, and we trust that this will be emo
of labels at least adequate proof that such labels
are shallow and misleading. The issues of this cam
paign must be studied and debated on their merits
The choice before the nation is not whether the
candidates and their policies are labeled American
or un-American, but whether the candidates and
their policies are constructive, practicable and ade

Managoff Loses
To Dusek

He's out. he's safe, he's up,
he's down!
1t was like this at the Arena
last night in the feature mat bout
of the evening between Ivan Mana
goff and Ernie Dusek.
The boys gnashed and tore at
each other for Al minutes before
putting on their final bit. Then
it was something to see.
They ran at each other first,
practically going out for the count
because of the impact. Ernie re-
vived enough to pounce on Mana
goff for the kill.
But Ivan came to long enough
to turn his shoulder. And, of
course, Ernie toppled over on the
mat. This was the cue for Manag,
off to try for win. He attempted
to pin DuSek's shoulders to the
mat, but Ernie turned a shoulder.
Finally, Ernie got the upper
hand. That is, he pinned Manag-
offs shoulders as Ivan was wrap
ping a leg scissors.

but the crowd roared its protests
over lack of blood-letting or even
solid punching.
Perhaps the greatest, most vim
dictive fight that Mcfarland ever
fought was against Matt Wells,
who succeeded to the lightweight
championship of Great Britain
after Freddie Welsh established
American residence.
The men met IN old Madison
Square Garden in New York city,
in a 10-round, nodeciSion contest.
Mcfarland boxed rings around
the Briton. Motion pictures were
taken of that battle, and McFar-
land, maneuvering Wells into posi-
ton, kept his blood-smeared face
constantly before the camera. Nc
Farland kept Wells head bobbing
under a whitening succession Of
left jabS.
When the bout was over,
Paekey said: "Let them show
those pictures in LunnOn."
Perhaps the most famous black
eye in the history of the ring was
suffered by Mcfarland. A club
fighter named Kid Burns fought
Packey at the old Fairmont Club
Of the Bronx when Billy Gibson,
Gene Tunney'S manager, was pro-
noting. Now Kid Burns no more
belonged in the ring with McFar-
land than a Peke belongs in a pit
with a bull terrier, but the match
was made just the same.
Burns pulled a punch off the
floor and let it go, mailing McFar-
land on the eye. He was a vain
fighter, Mcfarland was, and he
Smarted under the joshing that
was directed at the sore optic. So
he took Burns out West, I think
it was to Kenosha, and gave him
the works. Before landing the
coup de grace, Mcfarland black.
ened both Of Burns eyes.
Packey knocked out Jack Good
man, a promising 135-pound
fighter from the New West Side
Athletic Club. Goodman hailed
from the old Ninth Ward, the
ward that sent Jimmy Walker to
City Hall, and which sent many
of Gotham's famous characters to
glory in politics, the stage, the
ring. Jack fancied his chances as
champion, but in the fifth
round Mcfarland propped him up
with a left hook, crossed a right
and Goodman took the count.
Never a champion, but greater
than the title holders, Mcfarland
finally retired, a wealthy man.
He made a fortune in oil, thanks
to the interest of ring fan. He
made an independent fortune in
the ring. He was an old master
in the old school.
And now he is in the great Hall
at Valhalla with the mighty de-
parted. Jack Dempsey, the Mon
pariel," John L. Sullivan and the
other valiant Irish warriors may
welcome home another of the
royal blood of the fighting race
who won glory in arms.
The Washington times., 1936-09-25

Packey was hailed as the greatest
of the lighter classes at the time
when Ad Wolgast, conqueror of
Battling Nelson, held the 133-
pound title.
Mcfarland fought Ere ddie
Welsh when the latter was light
weight champion of Great Brit
ain, the referee declaring his
battle even at the end. Packey
always said he won those bouts,
but the verdict of the referee
stood as given. Three times he
was matched to box Ad Wolgast,
but the bouts never materialized.
The weight, 1873 pounds ringSide,
was a barrier.
Master of boxing skill, McFar-
land defeated many of the great
ring fighters of his day and time.
He reached a peak in scientific
ring warfare in his bout with
Mike Gibbons, the famous "Phan-
tom of st. Paul" That bout,
held at Sheepshad Bay in New
York city, was one of the great
washouts of fistic history around
Gotham for the reason that both
men were such masters of scien-
tific boxing that neither could
penetrate the others defense.
There was much arching of eye
browS over that bout as both men
left the ring unscathed. Gibbons,
however, sacrificed what ever
chance he had of winning by
agreeing to make 145 pounds. His
natural fighting poundage was
$50, the weight at which he fought
Eddie McGoorty. Mike spent the
last "a hours before the fight dry
ing out. He reported for weighing
with his tongue swollen from
thirst. and chewing match sticks
to excite a flow of saliva to mois-
ten his mouth.
Mike lacked the strength to
wage an aggressive fight against
Mcfarland, but retained so much
Of his wizardlike skill that Packey
could not wear him down. It was
