Leaves a Void,

The elimination of the Army-NaVy
game from the football card of 1913
leaves a void in the gridiron sched'
ulG which no other contest "a fill.
While the play Of the cadets and mid
dies seldom reached the upper planes
of scientific football, due to the keen
rivalry of the c%ontending elevens, as
a semi-military spectacle, it was the
show game of the season. The pro-
posed substitute game between the
Army and Indians will fall far short
of duplicating the scene at Franklin
Field, which sounded taps for the
football season each year.
Since the first game in 1890. the
Army and Navy elevens have met
seventeen times. During this series
the cadets have won eight games and

Smyrna times., 1913-04-09

This is the season of the year to
give more thought to a Smyrna
Beautiful. Our wide awake Cen
tury Club has brought about improv-
ed conditions at the standpipe and at
Lake Como. Now let Town Council
take hand and improve other ap-
prOaches. If all would cooperate.
Smyrna could be made a beautiful
town. For instance if the Railroad
Company would give US an up-to date
station and improve the surroundings,
what a change it would make in that
part of the town. Property owners can
do their part by painting and improv-
ing their houses and surroundings, bet.
ter pavements can be laid, curbs can be
lined up and it will be astonishing
what effect a few improvements Of
this kind will make in a town. Town
pride and a little cooperation is all
that is needed to make Smyrna as
pretty place as can be found on the
Peninsula.

Let US hope while Senator Salisbury
and Congressman Brockson are in
touch with the administration at
Washington they will do something to
hasten along the new Federal Building
for Smyrna. The site is ready and
paid for. Now our citizens are nat
orally impatient to see the new struc-
ure go up. This cannot be done too
soon for. with the increase in rural
and parcel post business, the present
quarters are inadequate. Let US hope
something will be doing at an early
date.

Our two Senators ard Congressman
have gone to Washington to take up
official residence during the extra ses-
sion of Congress. There is much to
be done to get a tariff bill that will
pass muster. There cannot be a tar
iff that will suit all sections of the
country. This would be impossible
yet Congress proposes to change many
schedules that they hope will at least
be more satisfactory than the present
tariff law.

The necessary three-tourths of all
the states have ratified the constitu-
tiOnal amendment providing for d.
rect election of United States Sena-

is welcomed by all progressive citi-

breaking away of prolonged legisla-
tive fights and deadlocks in the future
and the change will be looked forward
to with interest.

Three great spheres of economic
activity-namely, labor, agriculture,
and commmerce-are now represented
by executive departments and seat in
the cabinet. The Department of
Agriculture has had wonderful expan-
sion and has rendered the country a
service that is now appreciated. not
alone by the farmers. but also by all
men who realize that the welfare of
the country depends upon the perma-
nent success of its agriculture. The
department has become a congeries of
notable scientific bureaus. Its expert
men constitute a body of scientific
workers in many fields whose attain
ments and services are a just source
of pride to the country. The retiring
secretary, who has held the post for
sixteen years. has been inspired by an
unfailing enthusiasm for farm pro-
gress, and has supported every phase
of scientific research. President Will
son had need to find a man who could
also show a like enthusiasm and faith
and who could administer with know
ledge and skill a great system of
scientific research and application.
A number of men of the type he need
ed have been developed in association
with the growth of the series of agri-
cultural colleges and experiment sta
tions. DR.. Houston, the new Secre-
tary Of Agriculture, comes to Wash
ington directly from the president Of
Washington University at St. Louis,
an institution notable for its work in
engineering and advanced technology.
But before coming to st. Louis DR..
Houston had been successively presi-
dent Of the Texas Agricultural Col
lege and Of the State University Of
Texas. He had gone from South
Carolina to Harvard University for
three years of postgraduate work
history and political science, and had
secured hOnors. The South in recent
years has developed a group of men
justly entitled to be called education
al statesmen; and David Franklin
Houston is one of the ablest members
Of this group. While the South as a
whole stands in greater need of the
ministrations of the Department Of Ag
rieulture than either the Northwest OF
the Northeast, and while DR.. Hous.
ton is especially representative cf the
whole Southern stretch from Virgins
and the Carolinas to Missouri anC
Texas, he is by no means a man o.
sectional mind. He is national in hi
vision; and the Northwest will a,
certainly adopt and cherish this new
Southern Secretary Of Agricultur,

John P. Hudson is being cOmpli-
mented on his enterprise in building
up and improving the old basket mill
lot While many regretted seeing
the old mill torn down and an indus
trial site made unavailable, there is
nevertheless a feeling Of pride that
its owner has the spirit and the enter
prize to have the old site converted into
building lots. With up-to-date resi-
dences all along this Basket Mill
site, this end Of Commerce Street
will be greatly improved. This is
the kind Of town pride that counts for
something. We wish more Of our cit
