WESTERN FOOTBALL TEAMS
HANDICAPPED BY RULE

According to the conference rules.
the football elevens of the Middle
West do not report for practice until
September Is. This is according to
the policy suggested by the National
Collegiate Athletic Association, but
Eastern teams pay little attention
to the suggestion. ,-
Illinois plays Harvard on October
s. and the Illinois folks think the
conference rule should be changed
SO that the Hoosiers could have as
much practice as Harvard.
Setting a definite date for football
training has not worked out I'm the
manner planned by those who framed
the rule. Players nowadays spend
the summer vacation with one ey Q
on the coming football season.
There are summer camps, IN fact.
where most of the exercises the
young campers take is to encourage
their football ability.
Rules can prevent an actual as
sembling of the bootball squad until
q certain date, but II cannot prevent
the candidates from training as In
dividuals.

SCHANG''S LAME

Disastrous Series Griffs

What will happen to the Yanies II
Wallie Schang gets crippled? That's
a question which vexed loyal New
York fans during the better part OF
the 1921 season.
Well, Schang had a lame back re-
Gently and was out Of the game for
week. And following that the
Yanks won six straight from Wash
ington, unusually one Of the toughest
teams in tho league for New York.
In a way Schang's sore back
proved a blessing in disguise. What
was Wally's loss in sleep was the
gain Of AL Devormer.
Up to a week ago Yankee fans
didn't know much about Devormer,
except that he came from Vernon
last winter and usually busted him
self in warming up pitchers. On the
few occasions when Schang took a
day off, Freddy Hofmann was New
York's catcher.
Hofmann caught the first game Of
last Thursdays double header. and
Decormer handled Harry Harper in
the second. And the former coast
player emerged from the second
game with as much glory as Harper.
Devormer showed so much that
Higgins has given him q reugiar
assignment ever since. He looks like
real find. Not only 10 he an able
catcher, but ne has been smacking the
ball in a way that stamps him MS .

He hits everything hard. and has
shown a lot Of speed going down to
first base. Scoring from first on
Harper's single last Thursday was a
bit of base-running which had the
Yankee fans talking for several days.

The game will have to be played over.

Where the mother reisns and the

And the kettle sings in the old-time

And say farewell to my pack Of care.
When day is done. all tho hurt and

And the s%elfishness and the greed OF

Content to be with his girl and lad.

THE LEAGUE IN KANSAs.

Mr.. Townley has started out on a
desperate effort to launch his league
III Kansas. Commenting on his activ-
ity and his methods the Kansas City
Star has this pertinent advice to give
10 the farmers OF n section in which
the new Townley propaganda has been
started:
The Nonpartisan league has no
elean-cut program that it stands by
consistently. 1t is all things to all
men. 1t conducts a gnmshoe cam
-paign for members. Its head, A. C..
Townley, slipped into Kansas and
worked secretly among those farm
ers to whom class prejudice IL race
hatred have the strongest appeal.
The organization seeks to taxi ad-
vantage of the present feeling Of I'M
rest and discomfort NOM farmers
by offering relief that it cannon give.
TIL Nonpartisan league leads the
farmers away, from safe organizations
that are developing workable plans
that will bring substantial relief.
IF the Nonpartisan league would
divest itself of its discredited leaders
and throw into the discard its pro
sram OF state socialism, and join with
ether farm organizations in i SUI
pre1ie effort to develop u sound sys-
~ain OF farm business, a system that
would keep the ownership Of grain
and wool, cotton and livestock in the
producers hands until they reach the
consumer, it would have the same
support from The Weekly Star that
other farm organizations now re-
telve..
But as at present organized and
led, The Weekly Star believes that
the Nonpartisan league is doing more
than ALI other elements combined to
discredir the present farm movement,
and to delay, il not to prevent entire
~, the solution of the farmers prob.
lens by the farmer himself.
Farmers m in the past
have grown up in critical times like
these and the danger always has been,
and is now, that some unsound, clever,
constituencies leader will get hold of
the movement and turn it to his own
profit, and in so doing will wreck it
befor anything constructive has been
accomplished. The Weekly Stars
quarrel with the Nonpartisan league
is that its policies are unsound and
It's leaders are INSCRIPTIONS m it
i i'll defeat the sound movement pro-
tosed by other farm organizations.
Every true friend of the farmer
I II tell him hat he alone is able to
I've his problems, and that safety

limit Of his labor, and to retain con-
tscl Of his product until it is nearer

laborers would be just as dangerou.

WHY H

The state administration has been
constantly busy in the effort to delay
AND obstruct the investigation by the
legislature of the several state indus
tries. The legislature is the direct
representative Of he people. 1t is
charged with the duty of making
lawssfor the safeguarding of the pub
lie interest. The administration has
used every possible device to prevent
the legislature from obtaining infor-
nation. Why? :
II the work of the administration
has been well done, what is there to
hide? The governor and his asso-
ciates take the position that what is
done In the handling Of the industries
which are the property Of the people,
and In which their money and credit
are involved, is none of the business
of the members OF the legislature
whom the, people elect as their direct
representatives, and at the same time
they ask the people to believe that
the industries have been properly
managed, and that both integrity
and efficiency have marked the on
troll of those now in charge.
If the statements made by the ad-
ministration are true, the best way In
which to convince the public of that
fact is to welcome the most complete
investigation that the two branches
of the assembly can make. To adopt
u different course is to cast suspicion
on the entire management? That is
a reasonable question, and it is being
asked all over the state.

KENSEI.KAI PARTY
OF JAPAN MAY SPLIT

Toxic, Feb. 2.-(By The Associated
Press. Proposals that Japan agree
with other world powers to restrict
ornaments, which were recently sub
mitted to the Kensei-Kai, or oppoai-
ton party by Ypkio Ozaki, a promi-
nent member Of the organization.
have been referred to a special COM
mittee Of II members Of the party. It
is declared by newspapers here that
the proposals threaten to split the
Kensei-Kai party, as many members
agree with NJ. Ozaki's theory, but as
aert it is impracticable Tor Japan to
curtail her military and naval pro-
grams.
1t is pointed out by the Kokumin
Shinbun that Japan's financial posi-.
ton will not permit her successfully
to compete with the United States and
England. The pending budget sets
aside 80 per cent OF total armament
naval expenditures. while IS per cent
would be appropriated to, the army.
the newspaper declares. :.
ITO devote fifty per cent Of the IA.
TONS total expenditures to the army
and navy" the newspaper says, "is q
record breaking example in world hts

NJ. Ozaki asserts the total armament
expense Of Japan will eventually
reach Is per cent Of her total expcndi-
lures. ~,

BUREAUCRACY OVER AGAIN

Communism is bound to develop in
one of two ways, and to result in eth
err autocracy Or anarchism. No COM
munistic system has ver lasted long.
The thing - impossible, because COM
munism presupposes equality OF equip
ment and perfection of character
which do not exist Because of the
existence of facts which it's sponsors
do not recognize, communism is bound
to break down. What will be substi-
tuted for it Immediately depends on
circumstances.
Under certain conditions its first
development will be into anarchy.
But anarchy is self-destructive. and
cannot endure long. Some form of
government will exist. 1t will be eith-
er a government established in accord
with the principles Of orderly democ-
racy or it will be an Autocratic gov
eminent in which the strongest and
most cunning seize the rcins of power.
The transition ma be directly from
communism to this form, or it may
involve an intermediate period Of a.
solutc anarchy. In either case au-
tocracy is bound to come.
An absolute despotisna, with all
real power in the hands of one man,
Is unthinkable, except as it may exist
for a very brief period. The govern
ment Of Russia under the Romanoffs
was sometimes known as a despotism.
In reality it was hat only in theory.
Actually the government under the
cars was a bureaucracy. The cars
were sometimes strong. men, and
sometimes weak. But whatever their
character they were surrounded by
others who, with them constituted the
real government.
Such government as exists in Rus
STA today is of substantially the Same
form as that under the cars before
there was a measure of recognition of
constitutional principles. Lenin has
substituted himself for the car. Mos
COW has been substituted for Petro-
grad. and the bureaucrats of the old
regime have been succeeded by other
b~ureaucrats equally irresponsible,
equally 'unrepresentative Of the peo-
pie and equally corrupt and oppres-
sive.
The similarity does not end there,
for it is reported hat Lenin has be-
come as secluded from the populace
as ever the car was. The oppressive
ness of his rule has created resent
ment which has been shown in at
tacks OF the life of the dictator on
occasions when he has shown him
self in public and he has housed him.
self up in the Kremlin as the czars
did in their palaces, and his knowl-
edge of outside affairs is gained, az
was that Of the czars, from reports
made to him by his subordinates and
advisers. Thes men may be expect
ed to do as those of their kind have
always dom and to color their in
formation according to what they
conceive will be to their own advan-
taEe.
