GOVERNMENT BY CRIMINALS
(By DIR. Frank Crane, in Attain


ta Journal.)
Do you re; !ize that g great
part OF the people of this ctn.-
try habitually regard the gov
ernment as something that is
none of their concern? They
say theirs" not "ours." Do
you realize that children are
growing up with the idea that
the management of the affairs
of their own ward or city is as
much "none of their business"
as the management of the lum-
ber yard or hotel?
| do not refer only to those
homes where there is continual
complaint against the govern
ment, as among foreign anarch-
istic folk. How many college
boys realize that an interest in
town politics is as much to be
expected of them as an interest
in the golf club or social af-
fairs?
The average business man
makes it point of pride to say
that he never NEEDLES with pol
itics. In other words, he re-
CARDS the democratic Self-gov-
erning system under which he
lives to be a thing apart from
him.
The whole nation is handed
over to prOup of men called
politicians. The average poll
tician interests himself in gov
ernment matters only to the eX-
tent to which they may bring
him personal profit or advance
ment.
Now, politics is at present
mainly occupied with the pun
ishment of crime. The conse-
quence is that criminals and
those who receive profits from
crime drift into politics. These
are the people most directly af-
fected by laws.
The result is that we have
what might almost be called a
government by law breakers.
Not that all officials are law
breakers, but that the most
considerable pressure brought
to bear upon them, from the
President down to the police
man, is from the people whose
livelihood or success depends
upon the violation Of the law.
The huge wealth units, trusts
and corporations surround the
congress with their skilled lob
byists and fill the courts with
their expert lawyers. Around
the police, the gamblers, white
slavers and thugs are lively,
while the decent portion OF the
population is Indifferent.
The criminal element and
their hangers-on are active in
elections. The grocer, baker
and parson hardly care to vote
at all.
We shall never begin to rea-
lize democracy until the chill
dren shall be taught to speak of
the government and of politics
as ours, " not theirs"

The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1913-03-11

Town Development says:
What do you get out of life?
You get what you put in, with
reasonable interest. That is all.
That is what you may expect to
get out of a membership in your
town boosting organization.
Town Development says:
This is an age of, speed. Haste
makes waste, particularly when
the roads are bad.
Town Development says:
There are towns which have
had opportunities, and have
failed to grasp them. Below
Omaha, is a town named Belle
view. Belleview and Omaha
were rivals at one time, and
every advantage was in favor
of Belleview but one. That was
its citizenship. Belleview hung
to the furlong hope that it could
build city by appealing to the
country about it, a purely home
territory. Omaha struck to the
future, laid plans to furnish the
interior towns their commercial
commodities. Omaha is a city,
and Belleview moved up the
river until it became a suburb
of Omaha. The faith of citizen
ship told the story.

SCHOOL NOTES

On Saturday of last week the
high school track team was taken
to Valley City to take part in the
Interscholastic Meet held by
the V. G. Normal. The meet was
we'll atteded. Drayton came
down with five men who were
able to take second in the Uni.
versity meet the week before.
Maid, of Drayton, in the sprints
and Wallace in the half mile hold
the state records. Fargo, James
town, LaMoure, Oaks, Larimore
Casselton and Valley City had
full teams at the meet and com
petition was keen thruout. Hope
and Drayton we're the leading
schools in the Glass B. Drayton
however, easily won the banner
for its excellent work. The pref
test race of the afternoon was
the half mile relay between
Drayton and Hope, the freshmen
team of the Normal having with
drawn. Maid, of Drayton took
the lead in the first 22O, George
Sussex running for Hope, and
we were unable to overcome this
tho the team came in only a few
seconds in the rear. Drayton
was after the state record but
failed, running the relay in 1:42.
This time was a second faster
than the class A relay which was
awarded to Fargo, Bublitz, of
Valley City, having disqualified
his team by fouling. The time
of the races thruout the after
noon was faster in class B than
in class A with the exception of
the mile.
F Ray of Hope ran an excellent
race in the 22O low hurdle con-
sidering the fact that this was
the first time in his life that he
had ever run the full 22O. We
have only four hurdles at school
whereas ten are used in the race
In the trials he got a poor start
but recovered his form and fin
ished second, and then won the
semi-finals easily, making the
the best time of the trials, 1926.
He took third in the 100 I'd. dash
and 220 dash and failed to take a
place in the broad jump. Tho
somewhat tired when the finals
in the 220 hurdles were called, he
ran the race of a veteran hurdler
and had third place easily, Dali
rymple of Casselton running
fourth and at least twenty yards
behind Ray. In taking the last
hurdle, Franks toe caught on
the same, slowing him up and as
