LOCAL LEGISLATION IN THE STATE
 LEGISLATURE

There is much dissatisfaction among legislators themselves as well as among other citizens Of the State at the great amount of local legislation coming befor1 every legislature, legislation tha, is of little or no interest to any one outside of the community af fected, yet it's consideration ne- cessitatcs improper or no consid- eration of important measures that directly concern the welfare of the whole state.
 Yet while every thinking per son admits that this is an evl. that should be corrected, the remedy seems hard to find, a every representative seems t feel compelled to follow the eX ample of others and get what To- cal legislation he can for his con stituents, a policy that is increas ing in place of diminishing this evil.
 Probably it will be a difficult, if not impossible task for the leg isla,ure itself to apply remedy, but why not the people come to the rescue and do this? Amend ment No. 13 to the Constitution makes ample provision for the securing of local legislation by the citizens directly interested, and who are familiar with all at tendant circumstances concern ing it without bringing it up il a legislature where all evidenc' is her say. often contradictory, and usually expensive to the par ties urging the legislation as well as to the state.
 The adoption of Amendment No. 13 at the next election will make it easibie possible to relieve the legislature of all purely local legislation at a great saving of time. money and trouble to all concerned and enable the legisla- ture to transact progressive leg islation of benefit to the state.

From every view point the farming class of this country is in better shape now than at any period since the civil war. More people own their own homes and and little farms, more are free from the yoke of bondage in- fiicted by burdomsome debts; more are becoming independer t eacn year by making a comfort able living for their families. more are waking up to the ne- cessity of giving their children better educational adyantaves, and withal prosperity and con- tentment seem to prevail throu- ghout the country. Let prog ress still be our watchWord

The farmer who owns a farm is the particular person who is fixed. Banks may fail and fac tories close, wo-kmen strike and mines suspend, merchants fail and towns burn, times may be paniky and even crops may be short but the farmer who owns his acres will get along. He will live in comfort and quiet with plenty to eat, drink and wear, He is the most independent man on earth. Yet there are lots of them who do not appreciate their situation.

GETTING IN JAIL

If things keep on as they have been going for the past few years it will be much easier for an American citizen to go jail and stay there than it will be to keep out tf jail. Every now and then some individual or some clique boDs up with brand new plan for turning some of us into criminals. The number of new ways IS surprising. Winconsin has it's "eugenics law, which makes it a felony for a couple to marry without undergoing a physical examination. The Illinois legislature. at it's present session, will gravely consider the passage of a similar criminal statue. Other states are being asked to pass laws making 1t a felony for a citizen to have any liquor in his home, even for medical pur- poses. One state has a law against dancing the tango The Indiana anti cigarette law has never been repealed, and the state has, as a result. several thousand perfectly good citizens who could be arrested and sent to jail any day. Perhaps the most strikingH development of our government is that the laws are not made by all the people nor by representatives of the people, but by small cliques, highly organized and tremendously energized over particular ques- tions. These cliques are determin ed to force their views upon the whole people. while at the same time other cliques are forcing views on other questions upon them. The question is never ask ed whether the supposed offense against the community are as bad as the penalties inflicted. There seems to be in the air mania to find new ways of imprisoning American citizens. and yet, is there anything that can be as bad for the individual or the nation as a man in jail who can
 possibly be kept out. - Hope Ga
 zette.

KELL.EARNED VICTORY
WENT TO BLUE RIDGE.
Won Over Fleet School in Game of
Football Saturday by q Score
CT IL to O.

Maybe Harry Sample never played
quarterback until this year, and per-
haps Reggy Morris isn't as good a foot
ball player as Soldier Boy Oliphant
and likely Allen. Brown, Egerton and
the rest don't compose a team that
could hold the Harvard Crimsons, but
at any rate these boys put up a splen-
did game for Blue Ridge school Satur-
day and came back with a well earn
ed victory of IL to 0 over their old
rivals, Fleet school.
This Saturday engagement was as
pretty a football game as has ever been
seen On a local gridiron, and when a
large crowd of Hendersonville boost
ers travelled out to Fleet school they
were not at all disappointed. From
the start it was a thrilling game.
Blue Ridge won the toes. and chose
to receive. Heine Brown ran the ball
eight yards from kick off. Norris
skirted left end for five. Without call
ing signals, Morris took the ball
through the line for first down. A
series of line bucks by Allen. Sample,
Morris and Wilson netted another first
down where three more attempts fail
ed to gain through the strong defense
of the Fleet eleven. and Wilson was
forced to kick. His pretty spiral, a la
Meb Long, went for forty five yards:
After much see-sawing, the quarter
ended with no score. Fleet was put
ting up a sterling defense though they
were unable to gain against the Blue
and Whites. The second quarter saw
some more of the same. The heavy
Blue Ridge line was beginning TO tell,
and line bucks were working without
fail for good gains, though the END
runs were generally broken up by the
Fleet men for a loss. -.
The first score came in the third
period of play. Fleet chose to receive
the kickoff. Being close to their own
goal line they punted on the hrst
down. Then Sample let some OF his
trick plays out OF. his sleeve INT there
was no stopping. Morris broke loose
Tor W long gains on two OF these
tricks, the back filed men in turn I
tered the rather lighter line OF their
opponents, and then Allen poked 1t
across for a touchdown. Goal was
missed.
At the beginning of the last period,
Fleet had the ball about midway OF
the field. but after being tackled three
TIMES. each time for a loss, they had
fourth down and twenty one yards TO
make. 1t was a good time for them TO
kick. but it was a sad day when Lott
and Fatty Rhodes broke through the
line and broke up the punt, knocking
II towards the Fleet goal. Like a
nash skinny little Swink started after
the ball, getting it on the pickup
while he was on q dead run, and being
tackled from the rear just as he was
getting ready to write home that he
mad made a touchdown. However.
Sample hit the line for the necessary
yard and a half needed, and once again
Blue Ridge had scored. Goal was
