Today Dempsey and No De fense Day. About the Fight. ( at and Buzzards. Praying Against Firpo. By ARTHUR BRISBANE V _J Those that, consider prepared ness and Defense day a nienace. to peace, please notice this: Jack Dempsey is prepared. If you doubt it, pull his nose. As he went through thick crowds last night everybody knew him, every body was polite. Nobody slajjped him or insulted him, and he didn’t hit or insult anybody. He’s pre pared and people let him alone. He lets them alone unless they get in the ring with him. As it is with individuals, so with nations. When they are prepared they have peace. Through 72 box offices, 90,000 ladies and gentlemen poured in last night to see the prize tight. No other entertainment could possibly have persuaded 90,000 to pay from $10 to $100 a seat to watch a white man fight a black man with padded lists. That gathering is encouraging, because a race as able as our hu man race, in spite of so surviving brutality, must surely accomplish wonderful things, when the interest of the average man switches from the power in a negro's gloved fist .to the problems of science and civ ilization. Young men that went to the big fight, read about the fight, argued rbout the fight, thought and dreamed about the fight, please concentrate a minute’s thought on one spectator at the fight. You won’t find it hard, for that spectator was Jack Dempsey. Ob serve that he travels across the continent, from California, to see that one fight. Notice also that he was attending to* his principal business, as it may be necessary for him to fight ' the winner of last night's fight. He was there, not to amusu him self, but to watch the fighters’ methods. If all other people In the United States paid as much attention to their business as does Jack Demp sey, there wouldn’t have been such a big crowd at the fight. He is champion in his line, because he at tends to his line. Above the base at Quantico, Va., flying machines are practicing, and on the ground our honest United States marines, in deep amazement, “observed that a flock of buzzards, after watching the aviators, imitated all their flying tricks in the air.” You remember the gentleman with his house on fire, who gath ered in his arms all the furniture he could carry, finally picking up the baby with his teeth fastened in the little dress. As he lifted up the baby he saw a cat walking across the floor hold ing a kitten in her mouth, and . *aid: “Look at the wonderful imitation of that cat!” The Rev. Mr. Chase tried to have Firpo deported. Failing that, many clergymen agreed to pray all Thurs day afternoon for rain on Thurs day night to spoil the prize fight, held in the open air. As this is written just before sundowp, the sky is bright, no sign of rain. If the storm should come up sud denly, before the gong rings for round one, it would be interesting and convincing. If not, many will conclude that the rainfall is governed in our day by the law of nature. It would have been more dra matic remembering how the light ning came down from heaven to start thp fire, had the clergyman prayed for lightning, at the begin ning of round one, to smite the guilty Firpo, who brought a young lady to the United States with him, and spare the virtuous colored American, Wills. Bishop Fan S. Noli, premier of Albania, spoiling the sweet spirit that floats over the league of na tions at Geneva, speaks of the Dawes reparations scheme as a "tor tuous, complicated, diabolical, in fernal combination of bubbles,” and “the most colossal super-bub ble modern history has yet pro duced.” Nevertheless, the scheme is to be tried. History will tell whether General Dawes, or the premier of • Albania, was the wiser. Loeb and Leopold go to the penitentiary in an iron cage, pro tected by armed deputies. The young men are well cared for. After sentence had been passed upon them, they ordered “steak two inches thick, and with all the aide dishes that go with it.” Imprisonment for life for mur der, plus 99 years for kidnaping, had not destroyed their appetite. David Lawrence says President Coolidge will keep foreign affairs out of this campaign, being con vinced that “you cannot get voters excited over European politics.” You can't unless, as in 1920, you gpt them excited about a sugges tion that this country join the league of nations and make itself paymaster and errand hoy for other countries. The voters get excited about that, as Mr. Cox discovered, when President Harding went in with 7,000,000 votes to spare.
