General Hancock didn’t know anything about politics, he had a lot of common sense. His most famous §ampaign utterance was: “The tariff is a local issue. That ineptitude ruined General Hancock politically. Yet it was true, ] 11 true, but the politicans do no: want the public to believe it. jobs too often depend upon making their constituents believe that the ry will go to ruin if tariff rates are not increased, or reduced, or some- he current squabble in the Senate over the proposed new tariff law shes new proof of General Hancock’s ‘dictum.

National interests are one thing, getting je-elected by ocal votes is something else again. In a controversy of this kind, it is always the nationl—that i is to say the general public’ s—interest that suffers in pre- ’ Speen to the degree in which a given locality or industry profits.

The hasty action of certain mem- bers of the Dallas school board in dis- continuing athletic relations with Dal- las township high school is regretted. There is no doubt a little ill-feeling between these two municipalities which the press has been trying to put down, but when a director or two on either school board takes any action further this antagonistic feeling, in- stead of eliminating it, it is too bad. Now let's eradicate this feeling, and the first step should be the instilling in the minds of our student bodies a Kkindlier, friendlier and sportsmanlike feeling. The school boards should call in some disinterested witnesses, who are taxpayers of the community, and hear their testimony, rather than that of a few hot-headed high school kids. Getting Ready For Deer Season Many of our local sportsmen are getting ready for the coming deer season. Many prominent hunters have of course, some of us are going to be disappointed but generally our comn- munity can always point (with pride to the success of our hunters in deer season. The Uncertainty of Life Life is uncertain. This was most forcibly brought home to us during the past week, when George Malkemes was struck and killed by a passing autoist near Hillside. The untimely death of George, whom we have known for over twenty years, in fact, school mates, brings back to me the early Presbyterian teachings of my childhood, that “What is to be, will be,” and that our time on this earthly plant is limited. With this thought in mind, it behooves to our] us to be a little friendlier neighbor, more thoughtful to our com- petitors and more ethical with our business associates. To Mrs. Malkemes we can oly say, “George played the game hard, but he played it square.” Accident Narrowly Averted W. ednesday morning a little young- ster narrowly escaped death or pos- sible serious. injury when she darted out across the street in front of an automobile in front of Higgins’ rastaurant. The machine was travel- ing at a moderate rate of speed and only the prompt action of the driver saved the child. The council should take definite ac- tion in regard to traffic regulation at this partjoular point. mmm ar Contributors’ Column Dear Editor: I am sorry that my article of sev- eral weeks ago concerning school spirit at ILaketon was taken incorrectly. I gather that this must be so from the article that was published concerning it. It seems to me that many of my readers must have allowed their anger to exaggerate my article for the comment on it speaks of things which no intelligent person could have gathered from the wording of it. I gather that I have been accused of being an unworthy alumnus. I need say little of that. I have not been at home a great deal in the last four cr five years, but no one can testify that I ever refused to give my aid whenever it was needed. However, if trying to “boost” by pointing out things that could and should be bet- tered makes one an unworthy alumnus—then I must consider myself one. It is said that collective criticism falls on the just and unjust alike. This seems to be true in this case. My criticism. has been answered by those few who did not deserve it and I only hope that those who did de- serve it will get angry enough to prove that it is untrue. I hope some people will re.read my article. They seem to have the idea that I was criticizing the football team, which is not so. I have only praise for the team and I insist that it is not getting the support it deserves. I hope this short letter will make cledr any uncertainties about my atti- tude and I might also add that this is not a retraction of any sort. I still stick to every statement that I made.
