Our Debate Team

Everyone is aware of our sports
and each student is more or less
interested in some form of ath-
letics. No doubt the majority of
the students know the basketball
schedule by heart. This is very
good and the basketball team must
have support of the high school.
We also have another very import
ant team, the Debating team. This
is just as important to our school
also, but, are we giving it the
support we have given the other
activities of the high school? l
would say no. The students as a
rule are unaware of our debates
and when the team goes to another
town the only thing that is said
upon their return is "did we win 2"
The members of the team work
hard for the school, but it is our
duty to meet them half way. This,
we have not been doing. 1t is up
to us to turn over new leaf and
prove to the debating team that
we have not forsaken them.

GIRLS SPORTS

The girls basketball team did
not have a game with Pasco Fri
day night as the Pasco girls do
not play outside games. However,
the Kennewick girls team will go
to Hover, along with the boys,
Friday night, Jan. %, and have a
bout with the Hover girls.
We wish them the best of luck
and think they stand a good chance
of winning as Benton City defeat
ed the Hover girls 1877 and the
Kennewick girls held Benton City
to an 11-6 score. Also there is an
other good reason why we should
win and that is that some of the
girls have refused to get a hair
cut until they win a game, and
they are needing that hair cut ra-
Their badly. Miss Pecar has not de-
cided on the line up as yet.

KENNEwICK

We may grumble about our town
And try real hard to run it down,
But when we move to distant lands
We wish again for these home
sands.
Personally / never saw just why,
People sit around and cry,
About the place wherein they live,
Instead of boosting they should
give.
But some folks are that way,
To knock a town in which they
stay.
1t never does them any good
To bite the hand that gives them
food.
So let us tell the world just how
We have better town right now.
Kennewick is a good old name,
Let's step right out and give it
fame.

SPORTS

In two of the closest games
played on the home floor in many
a year, Kennewick and Pasco de-
vided double-header last Friday,
January 81. In the first game,
Kennewick managed to nose out
the Pasco team 20-f7. The game
turnout was very close, neither
team having any decided advant-
age. The game started out as if
Kennewick was going to have an
easy time of it, as ten points were
scored before Pasco registered a
tally. But from then on, Pasco
started in shooting, and by the
third quarter the teams were play
ing on even terms. With a few
minutes to play, the Kennewick
seconds sank three field goals in
quick succession which made the
score 20-15, and just as the whis-
tie blew Pasco sunk field goal
making the final score 20-17 in
favor of the locals.
The first team game was almost
an exact replica of the second team
game, with the score standing al
most even all thru the game. Ken
newick started out on the long end
of the score, and by the half, were
leading 81. In the second half of
the game, Pasco started to creep
up, and during the last minutes of
the game, the score see-sawed back
and forth, and the game was in
doubt until the final whistle blew,
but Pasco had made free throw
and field goal, which gave them
the game by a score of 17-14.
However, the game was much
closer than the score indicates,
and the result of the game was
very much in doubt until the final
basket had been made. The next
game scheduled is at Hover. jan
uary %. This should be merely a
practice game for the locals, as
Kennewick's strength is much
greater than that of Hover.

The story of The Wishing Well

morning at IL o'clock the Subject
will be "a Mans job" or "Take

that amount to but very little in
life. Just sit down and analyze
the things you are doing which
are really worth while to yourself
and the community.

NOT A THEORY BUT A SCIENCE

Advertising and not competition is now the life
of trade, according to the advertising experts who
met in Denver to attend the International Adver-
Using association convention. The delegates at
this meeting heard number of interesting things.
Among these was the statement by Charles
Stelzle, New York expert, to the effect that if
churches do not advertise their "ware"-spiritual
upbuilding and moral betterment for both the in
dividual and humanity-they cannot hope to
arouse interest among the masses and fulfill the
obligations placed upon them as parties to the
general spiritual movement.
Another speaker declared that advertising is
greater than any single moral force we know Of
today. Advertising brings about changes for the
betterment of life ITSELF changes which fuse into
the social and political life of the nation
1t is now generally admitted by economic forces
everywhere that advertising is the most impor-
tant development of modern business And it is
also coming to be realized that newspaper adver-
Using is the best kind of paid publicity. In the
convention just mentioned the delegates, who
were advertising experts, agreed that newspaper
advertising affords the best publicity medium for
the churches and all church activities.
Advertising is no longer theory. It is a sci
ence. And it pays-Arizona Republican.

LET US PRAY, TALK AND VOTE

In Quoting The Suns editorial, "Let
Us Pray" the Tucson Star says:
There is much truth to The Suns
remarks. On the other hand, praying
does not seem to be the necessary
remedy. If the republicans expect to
win any political contests through the
power of prayer, we fear they are
doomed to disappointment, and the
same holds true for those of the demo-
Gratis who are not satisfied with the
trend of politics in Arizona today.
1t is indeed unfortunate that Ari-
zona's internecine political troubles
are aired to the nation, but only by
airing them, discussing them, com
planning about them and then correct
ing them at the polls, can Arizona ex-
pect that these troubles will be put to
an end.
There is enough Indifference on the
part of the public, the voting public,
without the added indifference of sit
ting back and saying nothing, hoping
and praying that the politicians will
cease their squabbling and establish
an economic and efficient government
Reforms are not won that way

"X" MARKS THE-SPOT

Slowly but surely there has come in recent years
an important change in at least one attitude of
politicians seeking to retain office and those
seeking to get into office. It is drastic change,
but so subtle that only careful observers have
noticed it. And that is their attitude toward
business and industry.
Twenty years ago candidate wishing to be
carried from the hall on the shoulders of shouting
cohorts, needed only to RISE deposit his ffty-cent
Corona carefully on the edge of the speakers
table, smooth his imported broadcloth waist-coat
over his generous expanse of stomach and launch
into burning rhetorical denuncation of the cor
porations in general. Occasionally he would even
Guido himself and pick out one by name and en-
blazon it to the skies menace, an outrage, and
an insdious foe to all those sitting before him,
who need only mark an "X' opposite his name on
election day to be saved from this hydra-headed
monster.
Such campaign thunder is not now so popular.
Business and industry have grown and continue
to grow in power and public esteem The people,
as rule, have seen through the political spell
binder"-he does not maintain payrolls. They
have seen the steady Improvement in industrial
and service.
large percentage of our population owns Sc
curites of our industrial, public utility and trans
portation companies. 1t is no wonder that the
business batting politician is not so popular when
his constituents make up the ownership of the in
dustries he would attack.

TO MAKE AMERICA AMERICAN
(Nogales Herald)

Secretary of Labor Davis has called
upon the national industrial council,
which embraces 312 associations, and
total of about $4,000 employers of
labor, for check-up on all so-called
radicals" and aliens who have illegal
ly entered this country, and many of
whom are flouting our laws and sow
ing seeds of discomfort with our form
of government. 1t is proposed to list
these people and make sure that they
have a legal right to be in this coun-
try.
This plan will receive the hearty en-
dorsement of every American, native
or naturalized, employer or employee,
and will undoubtedly result in a gen
eral shaking up in many commune
ties.
But the investigation should not be
limited to foreign laborers-it should
include all activities. Aliens occupy
ing positions of influence, some of
them editing newspapers, are far more
dangerous than the hod carrier or the
coal miner Then there are others
engaged in writing books on interna-
tionalism, denouncing or ridiculing
our government as compared to the
monarchial system. Most of our pub
lie libraries contain many of these
volumes-far more dangerous than
any socialistic book that can be named.
Let's make America American" and
keep it so by inaugurating a general
housekeeping.

son, Thomas Paine and the rest of
the revolutionary fathers did anything
but sit back and pray that the British
would please cease taxing them with
out representation" OF course, the
Revolutionary war made rather poor
impression with the rest OF the world
but the American colonies, won the
war and the respect of the world.
If the citizens of Arizona air their
grievances long enough and wake up
the indifferent voters, the state, may
expect to eventually elect adm mis-
traitors who put service, real service,
above self.
Where there is light and sunshine,
disease does not breed; where there is
intelligent knowledge and full pub
licity, maladministration does not usu-
ally exist,
We would rather see Arizona's fair
name dragged in the dust, than for
the state to remain in the mire,
knowing it is in the mire, and paying
the penalty for such degradation
year after year, term after term.
There are, however, enough intelll-
gent citizens in the state to take up
the cudgel for better governmental
they only woodland prevent all fu-
ture maladministration.
If anything is wrong with Arizona,
it is up to the "hard-headed, far-see-
ing, patriotic, non-participating bust
ness men" and citizens to correct the
evils at the polls.
