The grip backfield stars have had
op Tech athletics Is best shown by
the last three captains-Flowers.
Harlan and Barron.
But the idea to be conveyed is
that Barron is the last one of the
who will take his place? 1t Is a
question not to be decided by this
writer.
The Jackets have been more
than blessed with great backs In
recent years. No greater pair
than Strupper and Guyon ever
trotted on Southern gridirOn.
As long as football Is talked here
or near here. Strupper and Guyon
will be remembered.
Strupper played his last for Tech
in 1917, but Guyon carried on for
another year.
Little Buck Flowers, one of the
greatest Of the long list. stepped In
and replaced Strupper In 1918.
Then Guyon left, and Barron
with his year at quarterback, was
shifted to half and kept the com
bination intact.
In 1920 Harlan came back into
his own and with both Barron and
Flowers In the attacking squad
Tech had one of It's greatest back
fields--one that could be compared
with the Harlan, Strupper, Hill and
Guyon set of 1917.
Last fall little Buck wept the way
of the others and FRANK Ferst, @
far greater football player than the
average person would imagine
stepped into Bucks shoes, and the
gap was plugged.
But this year the great Barron
was left alone-none Of his all
Southern comrades Of years gone
by were with him. He had carried
on nobly. He has but two more
games 10 play for Tech and then
the last Of the great line Of back
fielders will be extinct.

However, It is felt that the ex-
perts will be inclined to ascribe
the loss of that game to an of

certainly II Penn State wins from
Penn.
The Washington times., 1922-11-13

There Is general satisfaction here
over the fact that the Army has
demonstrated it's strength by tying
Yale and Notre Dame. II would
have been still more satisfactory
II they had won from Yale. The
Nayy wants to have the opportun-
ity of assuming high rank among
the football teams Of the country,
and the better football the ARMY
has played, the better for the
Navy's standing IL it should win
from the Army. ,.
Army and Navy people both look
to a time when the annual service
game will be decisive as to the
leading team Of the country. This
was not the case last year. the
Army having been defeated by Yale
and the Navy by Penn State. and
the defeat Of the Navy by Penn
sylvania stands In the way OF It
this year. However. the winner
Of the game on November rs Will
have to be given a high compara-
tive rating beyond doubt.
In most particulars, the navy
team reached its high-water marx
against Georgia Tech. Its, aerial
game was the most daring. varied
and successful ever Accomplished
by Navy team. 1t played almost
faultless football. varying this style
of game with the line PLAYS which
have been the fundamental strength
of Navy teams since Dobb took
hold OF them. The one weakness
was inability to stop Barron al
times.

harder TO win. The lines were
very evenly matched. and Penn
State had better backs In individ-
ual play. Many serious faults
were evident In the Navy playing.
however, and the defensive game
was extremely weak. Palm and
Wilson frequently made substan.
tial gains off tackle and around
ends.
The fact is that the Navy's ends.
Parr and Taylor, have not played
a gilt edge defensive game by any
means. Last year, they were rated
one Of the best pairs among the
college teams. This year, Taylor
has shone as offensive end. but
both Of them have had their ends
circled more than once this season
and as late as Saturday. when the
fine st. Xavier hacks. Davis. Cush
ing and Wurzelbacher, did 1t. on

Nor has there been the individual

On next Tuesday, September 9TH,
the voters of the third Judicial dis
trict, composed of the counties Of Tip
pah, Benton, Union, Marshall, La
fayette, Calhoun and ChickasaW will
be called upon to elect a circuit judge
to serve for the next four years be-
ginning the first Of January, 1923.
There is nothing more important in
our public affairs than to have a good
Judge on the bench. A large proper
ton of our local taxes go to sustain
the courts. It is important therefore
that we have man on the bench who,
will put good business sense into the
operation Of tn court. Such man IS
Thos. E. Pegram Of the Ripley bar.
In the litigation and prosecution OF
crime that comes before your court
the judge on the bench must pass to
a certain extent on the lives, liber-
ties and properties Of many people.
Therefore your judge should be q
man who knows the law, a man who

has keen and discriminating sense
of justice, man who understands
that the function of a Judge is to in
terpret and apply the law as it. is
written. Such a man we offer you in
Thos. E. Pegran.
There is nothing more important
to society, to the safety of our young
men and the happiness and pros
perity Of our homes than to suppress
and control the liquor traffic. The
laws against the sale Of Whiskey
should be so rightly enforced that the
traffic would soon be destroyed. The
judge on the bench should be man
whose hands are not stained with con-
slant the defense Of whiskey cases
in the courts. Such a man is Thos. E.
Pegram
Your Judge should be man who is
held in high esteem as citizen, who
enjoys the respect and confidence Of
the among whom he lives. Such a
mantis Thos. E. Pegram, who in this

race has the strong endorsement of
the pastors of the Ripley churches,
Of the Civil League and of the COM
munity generally.
Mr.. Pegram was born on little
farm in Benton county and there
spent his boyhood days. Since then
he has resided in Tippah county.
For several years he was a success
full teacher. then taking up the study
Of law he worked his way through
law school and located in Ripley,
where he has been a successful laWy-
er for about II years. He has never
been in politics before. In the first
primary he received the highest num-
Der Of votes and goes into the second
with substantial lead. We ask your
fair consideration for just and
worthy man seeking at your hands
the opportunity to serve you in a high
and honorable position. If you vote
for Pegram you'll. not regret it.

Democratic candidate for Senator or
Governor since Hearst has greatly
enriched the Democratic campaign
fund. There is much talk in the
Tammany cubhouses of brighter
days and easier money and a re-
turn to the old happy times when
the boys at the Hall could leave
everything to the head of the ticket,
with full assurance that it would be
handsomely attended to.
Judge Seabury is doing an im-
pcrrant and a useful work, and
there is chance that it will be
successful. But it is we'll not to be
too optimistic. If Murphy, pictured
by Hearst in convict's stripes in one
campaign, could nominate Hearst for
Governor the following year, an ap-
peal to his sense of public right
eousness may not carry a great deal
of weight.
New-York tribune., 1922-02-03
The Influenza Elsewhere

The epidemic Of influenza from
which New York is now suffering
appears to be, as it was at it's ad-
vent here between three and four
years ago, a part of an extensive
outbreak, which is, however. bv no
means uniform in character. In fact
although it is everywhere regarded
as the same disease, it seems not to
be alike in any two countries.
Thus, in Italy, where it is widely
prevalent, it is described as boins.
marked with an intense fever, which
attacks the patient suddenly and
runs a brief course, without being
complicated with any other disease.
In England, on the other hand
where it has compelled the closing OF
the public schools in some counties
1t is closely associated with diph-
thcrla and is marked chiefly with the
gastric symptoms OF the latter dis.
ease, and apparently has no relation
to pneumonia.
Here, as we well know, its most
serious aspect is the danger CT it's
leading to pneumonia. No explana-
ton of these differences has been
made, nor does there seem to be in
any other country any more knowl-
edge OF the real nature of the dis
ease than there is here. Happily, in
all places it is decidedly less virulent
than in its former appearances, its
lnfectiousness being less intense and
its rate of mortality much lower.
There is thus a reasonable expecta-
ton that the epidemic will be short
lived and not greatly destructive of
life, an end to which prudent and
sanitary habits on the part of the
public will materially contribute.
New-York tribune., 1922-02-03
The Foreign Debt

Secretary Mellon has offered sound
objections to some of the restrictive
clauses of the Senate's foreign debt
bill. The Senate sought to limit the
discretion of the Federal commission
charged with funding operations. In
doing SO it laid down a couple cf
hard-and-fast rules. One was that
the bonds accepted from the debtor
nations shall mature within twenty
five years. The other was that these
securities shall bear interest at a
rate no lower than Az per cent.
The stronger nations would not
be greatly Inconvenience by the
twenty hvc-year maturity provision,
nor would they consider AZ per cent
an oppressive interest charge; but
all the European debtors arc not in
the same boat. With many of them
debt collection presents varying
problems. Some may not feel able
TO pay within fifty years. Some may
never settle in full, or even in part,
so far as the principal is concerned.
With the weaker countries a lower
rate than Az per cent might facili-
tate rcfunding.
Congress has been reluctant to
give the Executive the free hand
which it needs in negotiating these
troublesome debt settlements. The
Legislative branch seems fearful that
4 part Of the foreign debt principal
will be ren1itted. That is the Amer
lean attitude to-day. 1t may change
or may not change. All depends on
the extent to which Europe can be
economically regenerated in the next
couple Of decades.
But the fact remains that the
same yardstick cannot be advan-
tageously applied in all the read
justments. A foreign debt commits
sion should have broad powers rath-
er than narrow ones. Consideration
for varying circumstances and f1exi-
bility in methods are essential to the
wise handling Of a very delicate
political and economic problem.
New-York tribune., 1922-02-03
desperate Remedies -
Drastic Penalties Urged to Check the
Wave of Crime

10 the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: The old saying that "disca ses
desperate grown by desperate remedies
must be cured, or not at all" applies
with peculiar force to the wave of
CRIME that is now sweeping through
this country and especially through
this city.
1t IS unnecessary to name the crimes
that are being committed dailv and
nightly on every hand, or the present
inadequate penalties that the laws now
IN force provide for their suppression.
Every intelligent person is familiar
with them and must be aware that the
new conditions now exist; the greatly
increased facilities for the commits
sion of crime and the largely lcsscned
prospect for the capture Of criminals
should be speedily met by new laws
providing penalties that measure up to
The appalling new situation. The great
| need is for laws that will prevent the
commission of crime.
Leaving the penalties now existing
for murder, manslaughter arson and
one or two other fclonies as they now
are. venture to suggest the follow
ing changes as to some other crimes
which now call for immediate atten-
ton, viz:
l. For burglary. kidnapping and
highway robbery (the latter to include
all so-called hold-ups, in or out Of
'buildings). the penalty of DEATH
2. For stealing automobiles, pocket
Ipicking and carrying firearms without
"a license the whipping post.
3. For running autom obiles in ex-
cess of the legal speed, Il Jail sentence
'of not less than ten days, without fine
or bond.
These proposed changes are Ger
tainly not more drastic than the con-
ditions now prevailing demand, and
believe would be the means of meeting
the emergency successfully.
Let those who may object to tn,
whipping post consider that the dread
of it on the part of the criminal would
surely be far greater than that which
he would feel for moderate prison
sentence, which he has learned from
Frequent experience not to regard very
seriously, and think they will advo-
cate the bringing back of that ancient
remedy. Besides, in proper cases,
prison sentence and fine could also be
included in the punishment in add
tion to the whipping.
EX-DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
New York, Jan 81, 1922.
New-York tribune., 1922-02-03

1920, showing a total decrease of
1887 The number of actual offend
ers against law and order was 1885,
being 796 less than in 1920. The
rest of the 10,445 do not properly be-
long in the category Of offenders, as
they proved to be cases Of improper
guardianship. The present law,
however, does not separate the neg
locted children from the wilIfully de-
linquent, but prosecutes them all as
criminals.
Justice Franklin Chase Hoyt in
his annual report calls attention to
this condition, and suggests that the
provisions of the codes and statutes
are crude and archaic and should be
redrafted to meet modern require
ments. The justice also states that
the Boy Scouts, the churches and the
various community agencies have
been of great help in reducing the
number of court cases among chill
dren. This is gratifying news to the
people who believe that prevention,
mot punishment, is the rational
method in dealing with crime. Ger
talnly friendly hand is of more use
to children, wayward or other, than
the dire prophecy of a Jonah.
