COAST COACHES WILL
 BE RETAINED

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 15.-All the football coaches of 1922 Pacific Coast Conference teams will be retained during the 1923 season, according to present indications. Often schools with losing teams change coaches during the winter but this year it is probable that the rule will not be followed.
 For Stanford University 1923 will be the first year in five that a new coach has not taken charge at the opening of the season Andy Kerr, who handled the 1922 team, will re- main as the representative of Glenn Warner, wlfo comes to take over the reins in 1924. Kerr won the conf. dence of Cardinal students by his work this season, when he laid the foundation of what is expected to be winning system for Stanford.
 Andy Smith, of course, will re- main at California. When Smith went to the big state university as coach in 1916 his men had nothing but rugby in their systems. Three lean years followed but during those years Smith taught his men how to play a game of football which has won for them the coast title for three years. California hopes to re- peat this year.
 Washington's team last year made the best record of any Husky eleven team since 1916, the last year Gil mour Dobie coached in the North, so, naturally, Enoch Bagshaw will be kept as coach. Bagshaw formerly was a winning high school coach at Everett and two years ago took over football at Washington. His first

New Year is here and things seem to ] much the same In Our Town as they were j the late lamented years. The only differen" we were able to detect in it was what is probably the result of Reform ''-instead of ''swearing off, People for on other reason than the insane desire to assert their personal independence kept the bootleggers busy Su1' day night and early Monday morning tc start the year right. Their assertions of in. dependence didn't spoil anything that we havC heard of, and they felt the better for tho demonstration. Even the writer bootleg@ed a small bottle, just to show that he could and would through the year if he wanted to. He diGnt sample 1t because he didn't care to. If he wanted to he could and WOULD.
 In fact, we were on the job at the approach to and the start of the New Year, protecting ourselves all the way down the line. We have been told that this is the year that the "Reformers'' are going to bootleg news paper of their own into Our Town, in oppo- sition to us, and that as soon as they do this paper will be routed to hell. Forewarned IS forearmed so at o'clock Sunday morning and until they finished the work the paper hangers were engaged in coating the inside of this office with asbestos paper as protection against them and our opponents, the crepe hangers. There's nothing like fire protection when fire threatens. The sparks which fly upward from the typsetting machine when It is setting our writings will not set fire to the nlace, and the fires without are in the lap of the gods, so here's hoping that some thing happens to put a little kick into Our Town.
 Between ourselves, we ought to be in the con1inc wear little kinder to the poor orphan bootlegger-he has been getting hell In large doses this year, and he don't seem to have a friend in Our Town. Imagine his feelings after working night and day to bring Good Cheer to you. and to have the beans spilled and the whole world downcast by Federal "bu]]." It's more than flesh and blood can stand Of course, it means nothing to us, for we are past Cit" and above reproach and on the Dry Side, but we still have feeling for thc underdog.

year was a tough one but last year his team lost only to California.
 Shy Huntington, who succeeded his teacher, Hugo Bezdek, as coach at Oregon in 1918, has been given his contract for 1923. When Hunt ington produced the great Oregon eleven that held Harvard to a 76 score in 1919, critics said that he in herited his men from Bezdek. But last year, without Bezdek pupil on the squad, Huntington turned out a games, finished 1000 in per centages and tied Washington for the North west Conference title.
 Although Gus Welch had a hard season at Washington State in 1922, there is no talk of replacing him as coach. He was handicapped by the fact that most of his men were green and also by hard schedule, which made his eleven practically travelling team.
 Dick Rutherford has developed a great line at the Oregon Agricultural College and probably will be retained. If he can keep his team together and develop quarterback, the Aggies will be heard from this year, accord ing to northern observers.
 Idaho is the team that most of the conference coaches will fear in 1923. This year Bob Mathews, dur ing his first year as Vandal coach, turned out an eleven which made a reputation for its fighting ability, although most of his men were play ing their first year at football, and were playing out a schedule which called for seven out of eight games away from home. Mathews is we'll liked at Idaho and will be retained
 Elmer C. Henderson last year turned out his first Coast Conference team and it won three organization games, winning for it the right to represent the West in the Pasadena EastWest clash with Penn State which was played on New Years Day. Henderson has turned out good teams for the past several years.

PROGRESS AND DEMOCRACY

Because the American Commonwealth is called Democracy and is governed by vote of the people, there is becoming more and more prevalent the notion that the nearer we approach to direct popuar government the more do we realize the democratic ideal. As matter of fact this idea is in direct opposition to the principle held by the fram CTS of the American Constitution, who in tended to establish and did establish not direct democracy but representative re- public. Recognizing that people sufficiently enlightened to understand that the people generally have not the time nor the dispo- stion nor the means to acquaint themselves with the details of national legislation, the founders of the Government arranged that in order that this work might be wisely and we'll done the people might choose agents to make their laws, just as they would employ agents to make their shoes or their coats, rather than have the job botched by everybody's taking a whack at it. These agents they made re sponsible to the people, requiring them to re- turn periodically to the people for their aU- thoritv It was one of the wisest provisions of a Document that has been justly deemed one of the wisest in history, assuring as it does popular representation by efficient leaders, dllu SudltlHS dSdllot Iilo ii'N'iHPN tency of the mob.
 We are drifting dangerously away from that provision. The tendency to substitute for a representative republic the system of direct government advocated by the radicals of Europe who have had no experience m democracy, is evident in such movements as the recent "Progressive'' organization m Con- ercss whose first and conspicuous moves have been for direct popular control. That popular governic ent is necessarily "progressive' IS the most fragrant of misconceptions. The idea that the nearer we approach to govern ment by the mob the nearer attain to true democracy is the stock in trade of dema- goeuery It is the clap-trap with which political mountebanks bid for the favor of the mob.
 There ie much and bitter complaint of our ''incompetent' Congresses. We may thank for them the direct primary and the cheap quality of leadership which that encourages Whatever may have been the faults Of the old convention system, it at least gave us mon of force and capacity in leadership. As a system of selection it was wholly in line with the far-seeing wisdom of the founders of the Government, who knew that the the only basis on whicl Democracy is safe is that of intell- gent leadership. The 'Progressivism' that points away from that is progress toward an- archy and destruction

THE ACTUAL RELIEF

When the Republicans enacted the present internal revenue law the statement was made that it would remove about $800,O00,OOO from the taxpayers burdens. How conservative that estimate was is shown by the annual re- port of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1922. Col lections in that year were approximately $i 400,O00,000 below those for 1921. That figure represents the actual relief experienced by the taxpayers in the application of the new Republican law .-. A ,s-.<.. ssaYp,
