LETTERS

Schoiastlcally anything might take place at the high school and nobody seems vastly moved Let there bo some remarks made about high school athletics, however. and eyory- body seems 10 be listening in.
 Remarks regarding the prodigali'y of conferrns letters upon athletes are case in point. When Commit teeman bay requested that some daylight be shed upon the method Of awarding these honors he opened a discussion that promises to warm up the atmosphere wherever school athletics are considered of value.
 some of the boys obtaining let ters are said to have been identified with th" games 10 no greater pur- pose than spectators. Some Of the best players. our mformants say. don't wear letters. but instead wear their sweaters in any old way, pre- ferablv inside out. This gives the impression to us that they don't value the letters so very much. And perhaps they are right.
 This matter Of baseball games out Of town is another point that needs rlarification Tn opinion has been expressed that there is no profit in baseball games in this city when played by the high team. May be that IS SC. but since when were school athletics predicat4d upon monetary profit? To our way Of thinking whether a baseball game is { paying proposition should not bo the determining factor as 10 where the game IS played. Money from other departments Of athletics might be utilized to subsidize the games at least slightly, And a wIn- ming team IS likely 10 pay better.

\ FAIRLY GOOD SHOW

The drama in two scenes eAdlCt"d by the mayor and Democratic town committee vas fairly good show The first scene. in which the mayor charged the town committee with failure to put forth proper efforts was quite fiery; the second scene, in which the town committee replied 10 the charges seems 10 have been somewhat restrained One seems 10 sense between the lines that the town committee doesn't wish to create more O. d schisul in the party ranks han necessary. Indeed, the mayor has every reason to feel that the town committee is not inclined to throw bricks so long as the supply of feather duster- is not exhausted. The town committee professes 10 See d hopeful outlook for inc future, and with this the mayor can scarce Iy fail to agree. All good Democrats are long or hopc.
 The town committee seems 10 find fault with the mayor for not having been Identified with the deIibera- tons of the committee to greater extent. The mayor has been re- garded as the leader of the Demo cratic party in this city and doubt less thought the underlings should be able to carry on without assls- tance or interference. especially the latter. let, there is sound logic in the committees stand that the mayor should be seen around the premises oftener, even if such visits might create more consterna- ton than happiness occasionally.
 The committee touched upon a touchy point when it referred to the mayors appointments. More 10 the point. however, would have been a definite mention of just what ap- pointments were unsatisfa ctory to the town committee. This might not have been good politics" but ii would have tended to inform the general public on matters that here tofore have been discussed only by the political insiders And it would have given the public an opportunity 10 judge whether the appointments made were an advantage over those that the committee might have pre- ferred.
 We don't put much stock in the charge that all the mayors im- mediate family did not vote on cleo tion day. The average man now adays, including mayors and politi- clans. 'acil control over how their immediate families vote. or whether they ,ote at all.
