When Joe was 4 years old, his
father died. and shortly there
after his mother moved her
family to Detroit. She remarked
and is now known as Lily Brooks
and still lives IN Detroit in Il
home brought for her by her
fighting son.
Joe attended school until he
was II, then left to learn cabinet
making For Il time he worked
in one of Drtroit's largest auto
plants.
In 1898, at 10, he entered the
National A. A. u. boxing
championships. He won the
light heavyweight championship
at t h c Chicago Golden Gloves
tournament in 1884, and the Ma
tiunal a. \. L. light heavy title
the same year. Shortly there
after he fought his first profess
sional tight-in Chicago Bacon's
arena-for purse of 500. He
won by a knockout in the first
round. Since then he has had a
metcoric rise, winning all of his
professional fights, most of them
by knockoutS. He dropped his
last name, Barrow, is now known
as Joe Louis.
In n short time hc has be
come the heavyweight champion
whom many sports experts are
calling 1.-THE best since Drmp-
sey." Loui $ is a good boxer. a
terrific punchcr. He fights calm
ly but with the killer instinct,
hits with either hand. His fight
ing weight is about 1876 pounds.

Reason for Lawlessness

The prime reason for rampant
lawlessness in the country is
the disrespect for law, and what
we call the laws delay.We make
our laws and then we twist them
and bend them to suit ourselves
or others. Law in this country
is observed and pushed to the
end Of its intent and purpose in
proportion as the law-breaker is
who he is, and has what he has.
Trials in many cases, are merely
camouhaged modes of procedure.
The result is that America is the
most criminal country in the
world; and foreign countries
get satisfaction when they
reply at our outbursts Of protest
against their sins saying: PLY
Stefan, heal myself" And that
is good advice, for as a law abid
ing country we are sick unto
death-we are rotten.

is the letter:

Office.

June p, 1885.
Mr.. Joe Louis
Pompton Lakes, n. j.
Dear Joe:
Don't be too greatly impressed
by this stationery. | happen to
be the governor Of Michigan, but
I'm talking to you as a man
more than twice your age, Just
to give a little advice to a young
fellow who has real chance to
DO something for his people.
In my time, Joe, I've seen a
lot of men shoot to the top. only
to Squander the opportunities
they found awaiting for them
there. Their good fortune meant
little to them or to anyone else.
because they acquired the false
notion that it was intended for
their own personal benefit, and
not for others.
Joe, the longer I live. the
stronger becomes my belief that
there is no such thing as pure
~ personal success. To be sue
sessful, in the true meaning of
the word, is to be so good in some
certain class that your superior
qualities rebound to the benefit
of others.
Destiny seems to have point
cd you for a high rank in pugil-
ism. Your ability to ovcrpowcr
others by ski and physical
force is something Of which you
may be proud Its going to
make you a lot of money, too;
more money than is made today
by those who excel, let US say.
as artists, or surgeons, or poets.
You'll have world prominence,
! and money.
They will mean little, Joe, if
you do not use them as cod i'm
tended that pfts bestowed by
mature should be used.
Your race, ~ times in the
past, has becn misreprescntcd
| by others who houPht they had
reached the heights. It's people
have been denied equal opportun

caps have been such that it has
been saved only by It's own I'M
finite patience and its ability ~
endure sufferngs without be
coming poisoned by bitterness.
The qualitio+ which may soon
make you world champion
should call t. the attention of
people the world over that thC

Joe Louis is redeemer. He
brought back to life, and really
saved boxing. Louis redeemed
a feature of sport which had run
down to zero in popular esteem
and respect.
Of the left-overs and has
beens no one was worthy to re
store prestiage, and pin the
badge Of responsibility on the
heavyweight fistic activities.
Amateur boxing contests were
held in the various sections of
the country. The participants
survived the tests were entered
in the finals. Out of this sitting
process emerged native born
Alabama boy who astounded
everyone by exhibiting remark
able cleverness and powerful hit
ting ability. Promoters had
found what they had been
searching for = some outstand-
ing boxer who could restore con
fidence and draw popular ac-
claim.
No one in any field has had
such a meteOric rise to fortune
and fame as Joe Louis. Steadily
eliminating every foe, Louis has
made his way to the champion
ship of the world in the heavy
weight class. His victims have
been former champions, and as
piring bidders for that place in
the sun.
Joe Louis is fine specimen
Of physical proWcss and has a
bearing that bespeaks modesty
and self placement. Louis is no
braggart and never talked him
self into the spotlight. He fought
his way up. II o w one bears
honors, and topmost fame, de
ponds upon certain qualities Of
makeup, temperament and dis
position. Joe Louis seems TO be
a notable who proved true the
spirit of the couplet:
Honor and fame from no con
dition arise,
Act well your part, there all the
honor lies.
Joe Louis is a gentleman. rs
mis- department he has not only
Vdccmed boxing but ne has al
so opened the way 20 glory anC
fame for the Negro race.
No sports editor has dared t.
attack the honesty integrity anC
upright standing of Louis. Mini
sters Of the gospel find in Louis
life a fine opportunity TO driv,
! home lessons of truth which in
spire and uplift.
Joe Louis is respected by tn,
best people Of both races. 1t i

The McDowell times. [volume] (Keystone, W. Va.) 1904-1941, 1938-09-30

That the world stands ready
to plunge into another war is
no fallacy, but war itself is false.
The War-mOngers and rabid pro
pagandists know full we'll that
their creed is wrong. They
preach lies, that are shallow and
meaningless. They preach that
war is inevitable, that men must
always solve their problems by
murder and plumber. War is not
an inevitable process. 1t is an
abnormal, artificial condition
created by social injustice. To
argue that war is natural is to
argue that men are naturally
insane. Problems cannot be
solved by war. War only serves
to bring into being new and more
purplexing ones. What was
solved by the World War? No
thing, absolutely nothing. The
aftermath of the World War
was a worldwide depression,
and it caught the very men who
financed the war.
War is wrong because it
lowers man, the only animal that
has risen to intelligence, into an
unthinking brute state. War
puts no value on intelligence.
One is promoted according to
ones skill in teaching men how
to kill and how to k e p from
getting killed
War is not inevitable, it does
not solve anything and it is
wholly wrong from every stand
pont.
