The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1925-01-05

Nurmi will run in the mile against
American competition and In a
special 5000 meters event he will be
opposed by his great rival, Willie
Ritola, a fellow F1nlander who was
developed as a n in this coun-
try. p
The facts behind Ritola's sudden
decision to withdraw from the mile
event and save himself for the
longer distance are not known. but
1t Is believed that Nur7ni had some
thing to do with it.
Finnish Rivalry
Nurni and R1tola are not friendly.
Their disagreement dates back to
last spring when Ritola went to Fin
land to train for the Olympic team.
RitoIa is said to have had his own
ideas about assisting in the train
ing OF the Finnish team and Nurmi
had his ideas too.
When coaches were arranging the
entries for the distance events they
figured on having Nurmi and Ritola
as sure f1rsts and seconds in all the
distance events and no doubt they
looked upon Nurmi as the sure first
According to the story told in
Paris, Nurmi asked Ritola before the
start Of the 1900 meters to regulate
his pace so that the field could be
kept away from Nurm1, which would
allow him to save himself for the
other distance events.
Ritola's Reply
Ritola replied with a challenge
that he wasn't going to sacrifice
himself for the glory of Nurmi and
that he was going out to win the
race himself.
1t was observed in the stands that
after the finish of the 5000 and 10000
meters races that Nurmi declined to
accept the hand which Rftola ex-
tended in congratulation.
Opinions expressed by critics ear
lier In the. season that Nurmi had
not taken to indoor running and
that he could not perform on the
boards with the same astounding
form that he showed on the cinders
in Antwerp and Paris have been
changed with the recent form shown
by the Olymic star.
Nurmi by Himself
With Ritola out Of the mile event,
Nurmi will be an overwhelming
favorite to win, as there is no dis
lance runner among the American
candidates who can hope to chal,
lenge him.

Making Democratic Issues.

Chairman Oldheld, OF the democratic con-
eressional committee has returned to Wash
ington from the west with the statement that
the people out there are ripe for greater
democratic movement" He adds that the
farmers out in that section are tired OF the
present administration, with its protective
tariff, which protects only the rich, with It's
unfulflled promises OF agricultural and gener-
al prosperity, with its false claims of econo-
my, and it's fiat declaration to the farmers to
work out their own salvation"
Whereupon the Macon News feels con-
strained to warn the optimistic Mr. Oldheld
that he had better not get off on the wrong
foot in the effort to make winning issues. In
the first place. it makes little difference what
the present administration promised in re-
gard to agricultural and general prosperity.
Its promises would have had little to do with
the facts one way or the other.
The Macon paper further remarks that 1T
is much worse patriotism to pretend that we
are not enjoying general prosperity, in which
the farmer himself shares to large extent.
The republican party deserves no credit for
it. but on the other hand the farmer himself
has already worked out his own salvation
Also Mr.. Oldheld might remember with
profit to the party that the democratic party
has already suffered enough from the endeav-
or Of its leaders to curry favor with the So
called "progressives" of the west. Its present
predicament is largely due to Legislative blocs
and to alliances by democrats with the near
Trotskys Lenins and Bergers of the west for
a temporary advantage
What the party really needs is to quit ap-
pealing to the dissatisfied and radical ele-
ment, and return to the principles that IN
spired the confidence of the people Of all sec
tons and made it force for good IN the at
fairs of government

A Real Opportunity.

Dawson and Terrell county have an oppor-
tunty to establish tobacco market IN Daw-
son. which if done and successfully operated
with full corps of buyers, will add millions
OF dollars of wealth to this section.
From reliable information there is no doubt
that warehouse can be obtained with eff
Gent men to operate it, as well as large
number OF buyers, provided that minimum
of one thousand acres Of tobacco is planted
in the Dawson trade territory.
Already some nearby towns are talking OF
tobacco markets for next year, and unless
there is concerted action and strong pressure
brought to bear upon the owners of tobacco
soils in Terrell these towns will get what
Dawson should have. No one OF them has
the natural resources in the way OF tobacco
soils as has the territory around Dawson and
in Terrell county, and though the price OF
tobacco this year is probably not as good as
was anticipated it is safe to say that the COM
munity that sticks to tobacco will be the
one that will know no hard times in the years
to come.
1t must be remembered that boil weevils
do not eat tobacco, and the crop is at its
best during wet year-a year witch Plol
table cotton crop is an imposslbillty
There are, of course, some farmers who
do not have tobacco soils, but according to
experts along this line Terrell county has
large acreage Of light soils that would pro-
duce the highest quality Of tobacco which
would command the highest price, and 1t APP
pears that no greater opportunity has ever
presented itself to our people than that Of
making Dawson the banner tobacco market
of the state.
Everybody should get behind this move
ment, and help County Agent Gibson to push
it to success.
