But I’m con fident that there is even ’more lat itude for comic characterization in their new field, the Navy.” “Both Beery and Hatton are ex cellent siilor types,” according to Admiral Robertson. “The Navy has many, and is always looking for more men of Beery’s remarkable physique. But I don’t think we’d get along if they were in the Navy —they’re too full of fun. As for Chester Conklin, if he’s as good a captain in ‘We’re in the Navy Now’ as one who looked like him and served under me, I am sure he’ll be indispensable to the picture.” Before leaving, Robertson made several suggestions to .Director.

Since the tenth grade has not enough to make a team of its own, its members have consolidated with the ninth. The eleventh and eighth grades are able to get a team each. The ninth and a mixed team were engaged in a very fast and interest ing game Tuesday, May 15th. Both teams played good ball, but due to the lack of air-tight support for the mixed team they lost by a score of 12 to 3.

As the varsity hasn’t any more games the different grades of the ITEMS OF INTEREST. A piano tuner was here at the High School Monday morning for the pur pose of tuning the high school piano. Mrs. Adams’ expression pupils of the grammar school gave a recital in the high school auditorium on Tuesday night, May 15th. The seniors have received their invitations for the graduation ex ercises to be held dn Monday night, June 4th. Miss Mabel Stewart will present her High School music pupils in a Recital in the High School Auditor ium on Friday night, May 18th. The Valedictorian of the Senior class for this year is Gladys Dilla- shaw, and the Salutatorian is Sophia Dillashaw. JXX Ben Tillett, famous British labor leader, began his career as a circus roustabout. out a case of inconsistency against the W- C. T. U. because, as he claims, they are “picking on Smith” and are content to leave the enforce ment of the law t<? other wets. Be fore we go on to reply, or rather to enlighten the editor as to why we pick on Srfiith, let us say that the problems of enforcement are largely creations of the fact that the duties of enforcement are placed in the hands t'f men who have no convic tions further tha n that they are out for a job, and their eye-service is usually of that quality that will pass muster in the camp of the political faction in office. This is not wholly true, but as the editor states, it is largely true. We are glad that he has called our attention to this and that we have had a chance to pass the informatic'n on. There was some thing said about putting the prohi bition enforcement into the hands cf teetotalers in the race for governor but evidently that pledge has been forgotten, if the editor is right, ant we think he is. He cites men high up—presidents and judges and cabinet officers who like to take the.r little “nip” upon occasion, and some others who ridi cule the law and bring into misuse that much worked principle of state rights and personal liberty. There are many reasons for the attitudes of these men and the apparent ac quiescence of the W. C. T. U., but we shall not go into them here, since we can, for lack of space, only an swer his question. “Why pick on Smith?” Suffice it to say that this attitude to be found so largely among men of political ambition is one of the factors that brought the W. C. T. U. into being. Now, to Mr. Smith. We pick cn Mr. Smith because he is the out standing exponent of the “wets” and he is asking for our franchise for the highest office in our power to give. It has been said without refutation that Mr. Smith would hail the day when he could again put his foot on the rail and reach for a foaming schooner. Their name may be legion who would hail the same, but they are not running for president. Mr. Smith sponsored the legisla tion that repealed the prohibition laws cf New York. Mr. Smith is wet, soaking wet, all through. There fore the W. C. T. U. picks on him as the most impossible candidate \tyje have two witnesses as to his future action—his past and his pres ent. Granting that he is perfectly honest, as he sees honesty, is it more than a pretty theory that he could enforce a law that he conceives to be an infringement upon his personal rights, so well as a man who is per fectly honest and who is in accord with the law? We say not. It can not stand to reason. We want a man who can approve of what he does. Therefore we pick on Mr. Smith as the most impossible candidate. SC long as Mr. Smith is a private citizen we have no objection to his holding these views, for it is none of our business, but so soon as he comes out for public office it does be came the business of every voter in the land. If they are at variance with the voter’s views that voter has a right to pick on him and hold him up, if he can, because of them. Mr. Smith is running for president. The power veted in the president is the greatest in the world, yet that power is not so far-reaching as the influence of the personality back of it. Mr. Smith might enforce the law, but he cannot give the enforcement the support of his personal influence and approval. We want a man who can do this. Therefore we pick on Smith. The editor seems to be impressed with the inconsistency of the W. C. T. U. and its contentment with things as they are. Inconsistency for fighting Mr. Smith only, and leaving ' More and more motorists, confused ie claims of rival oil companies ...aro, ing gasoline and oil on the strength of “ Standard's 9 reputation STANDARD OIL COMPANY OF NEW JERSEY "z-'\ - * Refiners of: A STAN DARD Gasoune MotorOil others unmolested. The editor is playing to the galleries—he knows well that those men he mentions in the national places were not in any way the choice of the W. C. T. U., and he knows well why they are not. Most of them have never come with in the range of the organ’s fire, this mies. Mr. Smith is a very powerful he knows well. Besides this, how could he know that there have been no petitionings for a change? Originally the W|. C. T. U. was organized, not as a political body but to protect our homes from their ene- Seemed like Jim Staples couldn’t save a cent TX70RKED like a mule, too, Jim •V <Jid. Tough Juck always seemed to land on Jim. If the weevil didn’t get his cotton, the drouth did. When he got a pretty good crop, prices went down, and Jim didn’t clear enough to buy the Missus a new hat. One day John Thrifty’s wife stop ped by to see Mrs. Staples. She was going to town to see some silk things that the big store was having a sale on. She wanted Mrs. Staples to come along. “All right,” said Jim’s wife, “bu,t I can’t buy a thing. Poor Jim’s had terrible luck. Don’t know how we’re going to end up.” And so the women got to talking. That night Jim was reading his favorite paper. The page he was looking at had the “Soda” ad on it. “See that coupon, Jim. Mary Thrifty told me John’s good luck started the day he filled it out.” “You sound like the banker and that young county agent fellow,” said Jim. “All they talk about is Soda.” Mrs. Jim said no more about it..^ bat aho sent in tha coupon. Right away some booklets came by mail. They didn’t cost a cent, but they were full of interesting things. Jim read every one of them, and half heartedly agreed to try a little Soda as a side-dressing for his crop. It was too late to put Soda under hie cotton, but he used 150 lbs. of Soda per acre around it after chopping out. Say! Jim couldn’t believe his eyes. His 80 acres gave him nearly 80 bales! “Better luck this year, eh, Jim,” said the buyer who took Jim’s crop. “Luck, nothing,” said Jim; “It’s Soda!” • • • • e Note: Jim Staples is one of the most prosperous farmers in his county today. He always uses Soda now, at planting, and as side-dressing. You can do exactly what Jim Staples did. Ask your banker. Ask your County Agent. Look JK the rec ords of the 1927 Cotton Champions.

The organization is rot in politics because of choice but because of ne cessity, nevertheless it has done all that it could to keep out of office men who were what the editor calls wet. They have brought to bear every resource, not forgetting pray er, and with most encouraging re sults despite existing conditions. (May we pause to ask, do the wets i carry the cause of liquor in their ; daily petitions?) We hope we have made ourselves plain. Mr. Smith is the most ihflu- ential ma n of all who favors the re peal df the 18th amendment. The plans are avowedly laid to repeal the j amendment, if they can, and if that is too remote, to work for the an- I nulment by every trick shown to the shrewd politician. This is why the W. C. T. U. picks on Smith. One final word. The editor refers to the alliance between Mr. Blease and Mr. Richards. What he says we grant We do not presume to ex plain it but we half believe we could! Since women have had the ballot it has been rare that a man has ap peared upon the hustings for whom they could enthuse. Nevertheless | they have conscientiously tried to do I the best they could with the material in hand. The W. C. T. U. of S. C. has not been as aggresive as it might have been—but having made its maiden effort in natidnal politics by picking on Mr. Smith, it hopes to establish its consistency and from time to time refresh the mind of the public there with, but it also hopes to establish its discontent with things as they are, at least until Gabriel blows, or sin and all its train be returned to the place from which it came.
