age, rather than encouraged to skyrocke
lopsidedly above it.
Military training almost precisely re-
verses all this and gives every merest
private in the last rank, every rookie in
the awkward squad, exactly the same
amount of muscular exercise and setting
up drill and manual of arms training as
everybody else, and the rank and file
more exercises and discipline than the
champion performers or officers.
Another serious practical difficulty
with free play and athletic games and
sports is that they tend to become too
bitterly and strenuously competitive.
Only one contestant can win a race, or
carry off a championship, all the rest
of the field must suffer the humiliation
of defeat, The five other runners who
breast the tape a quarter of a second
later, and the half dozen other pole
vaulters who strike the bar three inches
below the champion, count for no more
and get little more honor and satisfaction
than the merest tail-enders.
The winner beats the whole field in
one spectacular, selfish triumph. The
rest are thrown into the shade and get
little but honorable mention and also
rams for their training and struggle.
consequently, every single contestant
will strain every fibre of his body, pour
out the last ounce Of energy in his heav-
ing muscles, the last gasp of breath in
his pumping lungs, not merely fgurative-
ly, but alas too often literally, burst
blood vessel or crack heart valve, in
fierce and desperate effort to pass
everybody else, or to keep anyone OF the
twenty or thirty eager pursuers behind
him from passing him.
This is dangerous enough for full
grown life. seasoned and time-toughened
men. but for young boys, with their soft,
unbalanced. rapidly growing muscles and
elastic. thin-walled hearts, it is simply
deplorable.
And every Fall and Spring season of
school and college sports furnishes its
scores of disasters, of permanently d.
lated hearts. of damaged valves, of broken
compensation, of prematurely hardened
blood vessels, even Of death itself by

heart failure. To say nothing of the grisly
habit which champion college athletes
have Of dying of tuberculosis at thirty. or
of typhoid or arteriosclerosis at thirty
five. II you wonder why, Just 60 and
stand close to the tape at the close of
half-mile or three-quarter-mile race and
watch carefully the expression on the
faces of the runners as they hurl them
selves across the line.
So keenly are intelligent physical train
ers aware of this strain and exhaustion
danger, that great pains have been taken
in some of our city school systems to
introduce forms of what are termed CO.
operative athletics instead of competi-
tive. In these the prize or banner is won
by the total score of points secured by
an entire team or class, so that good
average for twenty or thirty members
of the group counts for more than a
brilliant single performance by one or
two champions.
This is one Of the strong points of
military training, that 1t distributes the
responsibility for success or failure al
most equally over the whole group and
gives every young soldier sense of per-
sonal pride in the success of his company,
or of shame for it's failure. A brisk and
attractive evolution may be spoiled
almost as completely by the failure of
the last man In the line as by that of
the file leader. And although 1t makes
1t little wearisome and monotonous at
times for the smart and easily trained
cadets to keep on repeating movement
over and over again until the dubs have
got the hang Of 1t and can carry it out
smartly and we'll, 1t Is a splendid train
ing in team work and cooperation, in
patience. and in realizing that the
strength of chain depends upon its
weakest link.
Also it insures that the man who needs
the most attention gets 1t automatically
considerably more of it. In fact than
he either enjoys or appreciates some
times-instead of exactly the reverse, as
in the star system of individual athletics.
Another great advantage of military
training is that naddition to requiring
drills in the open air, or in great, high

The Drawn, Agonized Expression

ment That Many of Our Ath-

In the name Of war and preparedness, all
that we have been struggling for In vain
these thirty years past.
Nothing could so effectively break up
the inveterate school-room habit of desk
and book paralysis of our present school
system as military training. The physi-
cal martinez has his defects, his absurdi-
ties, just like the mental martinez, but
they are in the opposite direction, and
the two neutralize one another beauti-
fully. School-room discipline, for in
stance, is harmony In doing nothing. drill
ground discipline, harmony In doing
something. which is much wholesomer.
The one great ineradicable virtue Of
military training LIS. that 1t can't be given
indoors, nor by book and desk methods,
or the correspondence school system. The
curse Of scholastic training is that it can
be given indoors by book, desk and black
board, as different from real life as a
goldfish in bowl is from a leaping tuna,
and heavier curse 1t Is than any ever
pronounced by book, bell and candle. The
two systems were simply made for each
other, to neutralize each others defects
and give the child a chance for his life.
1t Is, of course, true that free. spon-
taneous play would correct most of our
school tendencies to room-rut and desk
paralysis, If the children were given their
freedom out of doors for as many hours

! JUDGE GILBERT MAY BE
UNOPPOSED FOR JUDGE

Atlanta, October 5.The gen
eral impression now prevails in
local political circles that Judge
rPice Gilbert will not be opposed
for election to the uncxpired term
Of the late Judge Joseph Henry
Lumpkin of the stare supreme
court.
The action of the Democratic
state convention iii declining to
nominate party candidate for
the general election seems to have
been pretty generally accepted as
expressing the will of the party,
and leaders of all political factions
are satisfied, apparently, to let
Judge Gilbert go into the general
election without opposition.
Under the law, Governor Har-
riS could not name a successor to
serve longer than the next gen
eral election, and it so happened
that Judge Lumpkin's death came
too late for any candidate for the
remainder OF the term to be voted
on III the Democratic state pri-
mary. The convention could have
made a convention nomination.
but by keeping hands off in the
matter, the convention virtually
placed the stamp of approval on
Judge Gilbert.

HOW Mr.. WHITLEY IS Be
GINNING THE BOIL
WEEVIL FIGHT

Early in the Spring Mr.. L. G.
w hltley had the boil weevil scare
good and proper We had some
little tussel with Mr.. Whitley be
tore we could convince him that
the pest working on his crop was
the cow pea Weevil instead of the
boil Weevil. But Mr.. Whitley
proved that he had been studying
the boil weevil problem and was
fairly well acquainted with his
work.
In August Mr.. Whitley sent
the real article to the Leader-En-
terprise. Investigations proved
that Mr.. Whitley had enough boil
Weevils to divide with all his
neighbors and not diminish his
1917 crop much. Today the boil
WceVil is getting to be a common
thing all over Ben Hill county.
A visit to Mr.. Whitlcy's farm
now will be full Of interest to any
one. The first thing you see is a
yard full Of the finest fryers of the
old Plymouth Rock breed. The
barns are full of forage crops, you
see stacks of wheat straw and
oats, the horses and mules are fat
and show that they are we'll cared
tor. AS you go through the lot on
the right you see a field of soy
beans that will cut about one and
one-halt tons per acre, This is
the second crop, understand, on
this land this year, and it is now
ready for oats, or some other win
ter cover crop for grazing on. On
the left of the road you see soy
beans and peanuts that have been
used for grazing Now you see
on the right Il of the finest red
pigs you ever say-they are glad
to see you too, for they have been
treated well. The big show is
over on the lett, here running to
meet you a large number of pork
ers now ready for the market.
They are all red and will weigh
around $50 to 200. This shows
the value of the grazing plots and
forage crops. Now as you go on
through the fields you see great
fields of corn, velvet beans and
peanuts. The cotton is about out,
the stalks will be plowed under
and oats, rye, and wheat will
grow here.

JAPAN TO DEMAND
APS
TO UNITED STATES
Contention for Right to Japanese
to Enigrate and Own Land
in u. S. to be Renewed

Washington, ID. c., Oct. s.
Japan's purpose to renew after
the European war her contention
for the right Of her people to en-
igratc to and own land in the
United States, suggested by Ba-
ron Loshiro Sakatani, former fl
nance minister in the Toxic cabi-
net, was frankly admitted today
at the japanese embassy. Nego-
tiations over these questions,
which came to d deadlock two
years ago, are not regarded by
Japan as concluded, it was ex-
planned, but merely postponed
while the larger issues of the war
are dealt with.
The deadlock followed a long
series of conferences between
former Secretary Bryan and Ba-
ron Chinda, then the Japanese
ambassador, and an exchange
of notes between the two govern
mcnts over the alien land legis-
lation enacted by California. Al
ter the state department had
pointed out that under its con
stitution the United States gov
eminent could do no more than
seek to prevent such legislation
and that persons affected by it
had recourse to the federal courts,
Japan closed the exchanges with
a note saying her complaint has
not been answered and rcscrving
"for the present further discus
sion of the issue"
Position of Japan
1t has been generally assumed
that the issue would remain in
allegiance only while Japan was
occupied with the war, but until
now no one in a position to speak
with authority has said so. There
will be no formal discussion of
the subject at least until the ar
rival OF the new ambassador, DR..
Amoro Sato, who was appointed
when Baron Chinda was transfer
red to London, and who is ex-
pccted in Washington in a few
