NAMING THE BALL TEAM.

1t seems that Lubbock is having trouble
naming the baseball team, without getting name
that infringes on the slogan the of some
other team or town. The first name adopted was
Longhorns. This name has long been carried by
well known University in Texas. They sought
to call themselves Cowboys only to find before
they got very far with this that Simmon 5
College team at Abilene has long been known as
Cowboys The Avalanche suggests that the name
be something that will identity the team with LIB
book the moment it is mentioned and in that way
it will not only advertise Lubbock, but the name
will be original, and will not place in class Of
those towns that have to cop slogans and
Some names were submitted in the original list that
we would suggest to use, such The Fiubcats
Bearcats Lubbock Sluggers Lubbock Avalanches
etc. Either of these would at identify the
team with Lubbock and another team would not be
able to cop the name without they amarilloed

WHAT IS THE MATTER
WITH OUR COURTS


Recently a Law Enforcement
League was organized at Wichita
Falls. Wisely the first thing the
League did was 90 make survey OF
what was actually being done in en-
forcing the law in Wichita county.
They went to the records. The re-
port shows that in the Criminal Dis
trict Court Of that city there was
only one conviction for nine eases
dismissed during the year 1921. In
the County Court there we're two
convictions for three dismissals. In
the police court there were 2,221
convictions and 1905 dismissals.
This record Of disnissals arises
from the fact that the man who can
give bond seeks TO have his case put
of as long as possible. Lawyers can
fix up most any kind Of a plea for
n continuance. Oft times the man
will grow a beard or change in his
appearance so that the witness can
not positively identify him and thus
lead TO his acquittal or the witness
es will move away until they cannot
be reached and the cases dismissed.
On the other hand. statement is
made that If every case on docket
now was trned and the time given
10 them that has been given 20 those
who have been tried the past year,
il will take Is years 10 clear the
present docket.
All such records as this bespeak
Incompetence, neglect and inexcus-
able delaying on the part Of the Of
fcials
II is a notorious and yet disgrace
ful fact that in every city certain
criminal lawyers are able practically
To- control the courts By the term
courts here we do not mean the
Judges, but we mean the whole pro-
cess at the court house. State
Press.
The courts are slow. They are
controlled by the lawyers and the
lawyers play for time. They realize
that time is their best defense, and
they know that time changes the
minds Of people. They know that
time heals many bruises, and for
that reason they prefer TO let things
cool Oft bit before going into
trial, and hence they plead. for con
tinuances under some trivial excuse,
and it is in large percent Of cases
granted by the obliging judge and
thus il goes. The doekets are load
ed. witnesses disappear. Their mem
cries fail to retain their first infor-
nation and they become doubtful.
and forgetful, and their evidence Is
not Of such nature that the jury can
convict under the charge they get.
In this way criminals are often
turned loose and crime continues,
and il becomes the common saying
that the courts cannot reach them,
and this brought about the organiza-
ton 81 Law Enforcement Leagues,
the X. K KS. etc. The courts are
going to have TO change their method
Of doing business, and officers are
going 20 have to be on the lookout
for crime and not depend upon some
body "to tell them" about the wrong
doings Of the people who seem TO en-
Joy disobeying the laws Of the land.
They should make il their business
to see that people do not violate the
law without being punished. and then
the fellow who does will soon cease
TO get any pleasure out Of il, and
will quit.

The lnterscholastic League will meet in Lubbock
Friday and Saturday of this week and it will be one
of the largest attended meets that has ever
been held in Lubbock. There is every indication
that there will be very large crowd. and Lubbock
people will have to open their homes for the en-
tertanment of the visitors. There is not hotel ac-
commodations in Lubbock to take of the
crowds hence the necessity of the homes being
opened to them Lubbock should feel highly hon
ored by having this meet every year. and it is the
source Of quite bit of jealousy the part OF the
other South Plains towns that would be glad to dig
up a cash donation TO get the meet every year.
Make those who attend the District Meet feel like
they are welcome to the city.
