FACING BOTH WAYS

One point about the Savin Rock state-allowed gambling law needs | little emphasis. Here the state, in permitting leEalized gambling for one town which is not allowed in the other 1ss towns. has turned about face on its previous attitude regard- ing race track gambling.
 It was comparatively early in the session when a bill was brought up 10 permit betting on horse races un- der one of the systems prevailing in Maryland, Kentucky and perhaps a few other states. A gargantuan hue and cry went up. the burden of which was that it would placa the state in league with the gambling fraternity.
 At Savin Rock, however, the same condition prevails and the state is most thoroughly in league with 1t.
 Some are fish and some are foul.

showing than usual. On the basis of the number or girl entrants the chances were more than two to one that one of the girls would win the championship. Boys are not as dili- gent students as girls: of . more ad. venturous disposition, their mental processes are not aa rule concen- trated 70 much upon books. The average boy dislikes spelling, believ- ing he can pick it up as he goes along rather than expending valuable energy in trying to learn the words at one clip. The girls. too, are more developed iA the trend toward maturity than the boys. Considering all these things. one is inclined to feel that the boys did better than previous expectations warranted. Occasionally a boy wins such a championship, but not ofsen. The boys are more inclined to tn. ,k that when they grow up they win dictate the letters and let the Photographers worry about the spelling.
 The spelling contest, We aye pleas ed to note, created city wide lter- est. It unquestionably stimulated a better knowledge of the intricacies of the English language among the youth of the city. To win the scholar. ship is we'll worth while. Miss Chiara- vallotti will never forget her trip to Washington and it assuredly will prove to be q landmark in her life. The congratulations of all the others will so with her.

The other day we read where Mir. Sos ndso's favorite tunes would be played over the air. That is our idea of nothing to get excited about. es- pecially when it was a matter Of common knowledge that Mir. soand- 70 never claimed to be a musical connoisseur. Maybe he didn't know about the favorite tunes being play ed, or maybe he merely let the broadcasting magnates 70 through with the scheme for the sake of pub Iicity; or maybe he was paid to have a few favorite tunes to be played in that manner. The long suffering pub lie is not given credit for knowing much by some of the gentlemen who are in . position to put over what they happen to think about.

JOKING WITH THE TARIFF

The administration tariff bill is one Of those peculiar excrescences of human nature that bob up on occa- sion to plague the thoughtful and upset the equilibrium of the com- placent.
 It was Mr. Hoover who during the campaign lauded the American home. The new tariff bill does more; it attempts to throw a brick through the window.
 Things going into the home, lum- Der. shingles, bricks, cement, foods and sugar. are loaded up with more tariff-and inevitably higher prices. Cotton goods. woolen goods and so on, get the uplift. The higher rates proposed for sugar complete the de- termined assault upon the Ameri- can home.
 
 once more. Rates are raised on stuff supposed to compete with his pro- ducts-except that he exports a ma jority of the products protected" rather than suffering from imports. Such protection he receives k more than balanced by the higher prices exacted for what he buys for his home and in his business.
 Canada gets a resounding whack: and probably will reciprocate in kind, iniurins those who do business with our best foreign customer. Ar gentina. wooed into lovely good will by the recent Hoover trip to So,o, America. finds itself treated as a commercial enemy; and Argentina, too. will know what to do about it.
 The bill does not please the West and it does not please the East. It pleases the wool growers, of course, of whom Senator Shoot is the lead- ing champion: and 1t pleases the beet growers. of which he likewise is a champion. The bill. by the way. is called the Shoot -Hawley bill. Mir. Hawley being the representative from Oregon who got shingles and lumber well treated.
 Of doubtful utility is the plan to change the Tariff Commission. It gives the President power to appoint and. remove the members of the con,- mission at will This would be plac- ing the Tarin Commission up to its collective ears in politics. Opposition is in the offin8. The tariff bill as it is written is destined to have stormy passage through Congress.

THE DEBENTURE VOTE

It is being taken for granted that the Senate vote on the, debenture principle of the farm relief plan will be close. Some observers claim it may win by few votes. Of those said to favor the plan, twelve are Republi. cans. The first major difference be- tween the President and the Senate is at hand. Should the Senate vote 10 retain the debenture clause of the farm bill, and should 1t be retained in the bill which eventually will come before the President for his sigma ture. 1t is likely that the McNary- Haueen fiasco will be repeated all over again. The President. it is said, cannot do otherwise than veto such a subsidy.
 The spectacle will be amazing Here is a Congress ostensibly called to provide farm relief. and
 Well. maybe the debenture thing will not get through.

Remarks On the Spelling Bee Editor Herald:
 I beg your permission to submit a few remarks in the nature of criti- cism upon ths conditions prevailing at the spelling contest which was held last Tuesday, evening in the auditorium of the Central Junior High school building. As an inter- ested auditor occupying a seat on the main floor we'll toward the front and to the left of the dais. I was unable to hear more than one-half of the words pronounced by MT. Slade and a considerably lesser proportion of them as spelled by the contest ants. This statement is not meant to re- fleet upon Mr. Shades enunciation- though I believe that gentleman could have spoken more loudly without too much effort-nor upon that of the contestants themselves, who can readily be forgiven if, ar rayed conspicuously before . large and presumably critical gathering of strangers they failed to respond as clearly and as confidently as they would have done in the familiar sur rooms. Rather is my reproach di- rected against an audience many members of which seemed to look upon the contest as sort of light entertainment instead of serious business proposition. Indeed, it's seriousness to the contestants can hardly be exaggerated: I was one of them myself forty-odd years ago, and know.
 The applause as each row of the contestants sat down was as out of place in that gathering as it would be at the end of each clause in the minister's Sunday morning sermon; the extra burst of exclamation as each indiyudal contestant was re- tired must have been, to say the least, disheartening to the already humlliated misspeller who might and probably did-construe it as an expression of joy at his discomfit- ure; and it's continuance after the judges. through MT. Slade, had asked to have it omitted was nothing short of disrespectful to those au- gust personages.
 l I do not think the sponsors of the contest chose too wisely in selecting the list of words to be spelled. There were too many Obvious" words--worda the pronouncemsnt of which is practically equivalent to spelling them-and too few in which the puzzling and entirely irre- sponsible, lie" versus ''ei'' and other /; equally disconcerting idiosyncrasies are present. There were too many ''contractions' Gone would have been too mary); combination words in which a misplaced apostrophe spelled disaster 10 the contestant. There were too many words having misleadingly similar accommodations but totally different meanings.
 To illustrate: The young lady whom I had picked for the winner went down early in the contest be- cause she spelled passed" past: obviously a misunde rstanding, not a mistake. And she had been spelling with sure. unhesitating confidence that betokened easy familiarity with the words that had hitherto fallen to her lot. Likewise, the girl who. upon being given the word lar rangemem," was retired for spelling
 (correctly) the much more unusual and difficult word ''arraignment."
 Surely this is carrying technicatity
 to absurdity. (Right here let me as-
 sure you. MT Editor. that there is
 no personal bias in my remarks.

WITH THE AID OF DEMOCRATS

Political observers throughout the state are discussing one of the recent developments in the Legislature with more than usual interest This re- fers, of course, to the manner in which the Democratic senators in the upper house came to the aid of organization in the drive of the small towns 10 procure large slice of money from the state for education al purposes. The state aid education- al bill went through the House with flying colors. largely through the de- termination of the country House members to get something" despite the objections of the state Republi- can organization. In the Senate, how ever. the bill went on the rocks through the aid Of sundrv Demo- cratic senators who saw no good in it.
 Now. the Republican country gentlemen are asking. how is it that the Democrats. who continually com- plain of lacking support in the rural districts, failed to come to the aid of the said rural districts in tho out standing effort of the session to smack the Republican organization upon the wrists"
 It is likely that the aid rendered The Republican organization by Democratic senators will not readily be forgotten. The Democratic sena- tors from the cities. Of course. voted on principle: but it happened that they helped the Republican organi- zatlon out Of most distressing po- Giical situation at the same time. The effect will be that inc country districts will rote in the future a, they usually have done in the past, 1 hey will conclude that the way to i reform the organization is through
