Chatham Hunt
Gets 59-Doy
Season

Old Chatham, N. Y.
My first introduction to Leba-
non Valley Hunt (our former
nance was in 1929, when it was
under the Mastership of Sidney
r. Smith. At that time the
kennels and stables were at New
Lebanon, and, week-endS, we
were wont to ride over near this
part of the country, spend the
night, and hunt towards home
on Sunday.
Our hounds then were rather
an ill-sorted lot, but we man.
aged to have a good deal cf
fun out of it all. That fall I
was invited to become Joint
Master. accepted with conSid-
cradle misgiving, since my ex-
perience in and knowledge of
fox hunting was extremely linn
tied. However, we started in to
try to improve the pack, which
we were able to do, thanks to
the generosity of Fletcher
Harper, M. F. H., Orange County
Hounds.
AS it was almost impossible
to hunt where we were then
situated, we decided to try to
find spot near Old Chatham,
where the country is more suit
able for the sport. In the early
spring of 1880, we found our
present location.
Our country is approximately
IS miles by 20 miles, of which
probably one-half is paneled
enough to get through. We are
continuously going on with the
work of putting up post-and-
rails and stone walls (there are
a great many fallen walls here)
and cutting rides. Happily,
there are plenty of chestnut rails
still available.
A year ago last fall we were
fortunate to be able to acquire
a privately owned pack of ex-
cellent American hounds and
now have Is couple in kennels.
Last season we had SO days,
and, owing to the plentitude of
foxes, very few of the SO were
blank days.
The latter part of September
each year we have the honor
and pleasure of entertaining our
land owners and farmers. Last
year we had a barbecue with a
steer of 100 pounds the piece

When we first moved here
only one member was a land
owner, but since then several
others have acquired farms.
Several houses are leased for
the hunting season. This year,

taken a house and are to hunt
with our pack during October

This is election year in South Carolina. How
many voters will listen to the voice of conscience
rather than to the influence of friends? How
many will step into the voting booth, write on
their ballots, and then walk forth with no mlsglV-

EIGHT COMMON RULES

Study of the statistics reveals that a majority
of the 756,500 automobile accidents in the United
States in 1888 occurred on straight, dry roads in
clear weather. and involved cars in good condition
driven by persons with year more OF expert
ence. Over rs per cent of these drivers were per-
sons of mature age-from rs to Ga. The majority
of the 10000 deaths and $4,000 injuries must be
attributed to blunders.
A recent analysis by the National Bureau of
Casualty and Surety Underwriters shows what the
blunders were. There are eight in all:
l. Drove too fast for conditions-this accounted
for approximately three-fourths of all mishaps il
1888 assigned to driving bunders
2. Failed to slow down at intersections
8. Failed to keep to the right.
4. Tried to pass another car going in the same
direction when view was INSTRUCTED.
5. Failed to slow down on approaching pedes-
'trians
6. Passed on the right of preceding vehicle
7. Ignored important traffic control devices
8. Parked at dangerous spots.
If drivers will obey the eight common sense rules
suggested by these violations, the annual accident
record can be reduced to negligible fgures.-Rocl
Hill Is. c. Herald.

WHO'S LooNY NOW?

When newspaper publishers were fighting for
explicit reservation of their constitutional rights
in the newspaper code there were those IN official
dom and few newspapers also who pooh-poohed
their contention and gravely insisted that they
were shadow-boxng. There is no possible danger
to the freedom of the press in the proposed code,
or elsewhere they insisted. Isn't that freedom
guaranteed by the constitution? they asked with
an air of fnality, little amusement and some
boredom.
The newspapers won their fight and the feeling
of ofcialdom was expressed by the president HIM
self who jeered:
"Of course nobody valves constitutional
right by asserting to code. The recitation Of
the freedom of the press clause has more
place here than would the recitation of the whole
constitution or the ten commandments"
And then there was something about desire
on the part of newspaper publishers to use fire
trap buildings and exploit little boys and girls
laborers.
Some newspapers were angered, some were
slightly amused, some little bored, but all
but those who pooh-poohed the fight for explicit
reservation of their constitutional rights con-
tent to enjoy the victory and permit the losers to
make faces
Time passed, and then came the Weirton steel
case in which counsel for the steel company plead
ed that section IA of the recovery act was uncon-
stitutional. Thereupon another representative of
offcialdom, counsel for the government, rose to
proclaim:
"The defendant, having applied for approval
under the recovery act of code of fair competi-
ton for the steel industry and having obtained the
benefits accruing to it under the act by reason of
such approval, cannot now attack the constitution
atty of the provisions of that code.
'"It is we'll settled rule in the federal courts
that one who has himself voluntarily invoked q
statute or who has received the benefits flowing
from statute is estopped later to assert its un-
consttutionality.'
In other words, counsel for the government
claimed that the constitution did not apply, that
constitutional rights had been waived He was
counsel for the same government whose chief ex-
ecutive agreeing with subordinates, had ha-ha-el
at newspaper publishers when they expressed the
fear that the government might take the very at
! titude the government subsequently did take.
The newspaper publishers were not as hastily
sarcastic the president and they did not indulge
in insinuations of evil motive, but they knew gov
ernments and they knew lawyers and they knew
something about supreme court decisons-the de-
cisions counsel for the government cited in the
Weirton case. As the Greensboro Daily News re.
marks the contention of the government in the
"eirton case wasn't passed upon by the courts and
the contention may not be upheld by the supreme
court If the question goes that high but it is
somebody else than the newspaper publishers who
will be put to the necessity of finding out They
can bear the pooh-poohs, the ha-ha's with equa-
nimity-Lynchburg (Va.) News.

IMAGINE YOUR COUNTRY UNDER
HITLER RULE!
(By BRUCE CATTON)

To get real idea of what life under
German Fascism is like, use your magma
ton and transplant the whole business to
American soil.
Pretend, that is, that we are laboring
under Nazism and that the things that
have happened in Germany of late have
really happened over here. 1t may put It
strain on your imagination, Of course-but
try it, and see what you get.
You start by imagining that all political
parties but the Democratic party have
been forcibly suppressed. Herbert Hoover
has been driven into exile; Henry Fletcher
runs what is left of the Republican party
from a safe haven in Mexico City. Ogden
Mills is languishing in Leavenworth; Sen-
ator Borah has been shot.
Congress is composed solely of party
henchmen picked by Jim Farley; but that
makes little difference, for it meets only
when Mr.. Roosevelt says it may, and it
does exactly what he tells it to do.
There won't be any fall elections; It
there were, all the voter could do would
Democratic candidates, with a flock Of
Tammany thugs around to beat him up if
he refused.
The editor of your favorite newspaper
prints an editorial suggesting that the
NRA is somewhat less than perfect, and is
Immediately thrown in Jail. You yourself
happen to remark that you think General
johnson is a flat tire, and the Department
of Justice Tugs you off to a concentration
camp in Georgia.
No public speaker, no editor, no maga-
zine writer dares to suggest that Mr.,
Roosevelt is anything but the wisest presi-
dent we have ever had
Then, to cap things properly, imagine
that the Democrats have had an internal
row, and that the president settles it By
having Carter Glass, Huey Long, Bernard
NJ. Baruch and Al Smith executed with
only semblance of trial.
All this makes a dizzy, nightmarish pic
ture. Yet it is only pale approximation
of the reality in Germany today.
Looking at it like that is a good mental
exercise, for two reasons.
First, it demonstrates how far we are
despite the walls of calamity-howiers-
from anything resembling a Fascist .dieta-
torship.
Second, it shows how unutterably pre-
cious the liberties of democracy really
are. Without them, life becomes grotesque
and horrible. Their preservation is the
greatest responsibility we can possibly
have.

few" -,
Not long ago, ] shocked the
high priests of political regularity
by telling students of government
at a state university the real facts
about the governmental devlltry
some of their elders had been up
to in that state. ! thought the
bows ought to know about it for
their own protection when they
got out into the world. They
seemed to think so, too.
Whether or not anybody be-
lieves in teaching young folks
about sex, they certainly should
be taught about government-not
only how the President of the
United States is elected and how
congressman get that way, but
they should be taught politics and
what to look out for.
Every boy and girl who gradu-
ates from a high school or a COL
lege, should have had burned INTO
his and her consciousness, a vivid
realization of what good govern
ment means to the safety, profit,
pleasure and the happiness of the
people. a clear knowledge of how
to thwart bad government and TO
promote good government, and a
keen sense Of personal RESPONSE
bility to strive periodically Tor
good government.
There is no more striking Illus
tration than in government OF the
aptness of the Biblical declara-
ton that the sins Of the fathers
shall be visited on the children
INTO the third and fourth genera
tions. 1t will take four genera
tions of our descendants to clean
ND some of the messes we have
made of our government during
the past ten years.
A condition I have always
thought to be particularly strange
is that the public schools which
are supposed to fit young folks
for life, do. not give more atten-
ton to character building.
ooh, we leave that to the
churches" say the schools. Ex-
actly. And how many children
regularly attend Sunday school!
And if all the children went to
Sunday schools, what would the
Sunday schools teach that has a
practical application to the every
day life of the human being. Sur
day schools are fine as far as they
go, but they do not go far enough.
Recently a superintendent of
schools asked me to administer
the Athenian oath to the high
school graduating class. That su,
perintendent had the right idea.
The Athenian oath is a beautiful
oath for good citizenship, yet it
should have been preceded by a
definite, practical, impressive high
school course on good govern
ment.
Here is the Athenian oath as
those high school graduates re-
peated it: Every person, young
and old, could well memorize it
and let each word etch itself ever
| lastingly into his consciousness:
We will never bring disgrace to
this, our city,--by any act of dis
honesty or cowardice,-nor ever
desert our suffering comrades in
the ranks.-We will fight for the
ideals and sacred things of the
.city-both alone and with many,
We will revere and obey the
city's laws-and do our best to
ircite a like respect and rever-
ence in those above us-who are
prone to annul or to set them at
naught.-We will strive unceas-
ingly to quicken the public sense
of civic duty.-Thus, in all these
ways-we will transmit this city
not less, but greater, better and
more beautiful-than it was
transmitted to US.
