The statute Of limitations
bars prosecution of criminals
for crimes committed more than
three years previously, unless
an indictment is returned be-
fore the three years are up. At
the present time, Banco promo
tiers may not be prosecuted for
the crimes perpetrated by them
before June, 1881. AS we rec
ollect, the present bank stock
investigation began in March of
1888. At that time the bankers
could have been held to account
for their activities as far back
as March, 1880. Most of the
dirty work was done in 1880
and 81. If the investigation
continues another six months,
nothing can be done to the
bankers for their false state
ments, market rigging, and
swindling. We can understand
the desire Cor procrastination
on the part Of the bankers, but
why the inertia Of our prose-
cutting officials? Is this a game
that is being played with pub
lie funds? Will the bankers be
indicted for one or two petty
misdemeanors soon enough for
campaign purposes and late
enough so nobody will be
scratched?

The drivers are at it in Du-
luth, now. Which is as it should
be. All good shows should tour
the State. If farmers, generally,
obtained a closeup of their la
Dor brethren stopping the agrar-

the eggs, hypothecating the
poultry, and occasionally clout-
ing the rustic one with a neck
yoke, the hyphen in Farmer
Labor will get so long by No

for a tight rope act.

Enemies Of the natural gas
idea are beginning to show on
the scene. It's about time. We
don't need any arrangement
that will throw hundreds of
men out Of work in Minneapo-
lis. What we want is a new
deal that will keep those occu-
pied who are fortunate enough
to have jobs, and make new
jobs for the unemployed. Saw
ing two bits a month on the
average gas bill may be one way
to bring back prosperity, but a
better way would be to cut out
the brand Of radicalism that is
going to drive investors out of
Minnesota and brighten new
ones away. If everybody had
a job there would be no squawk
about gas bills. And if there
are no jobs, there IL be no gas
at any price.

A Hundred
Dollar Check

In another column, / notice
my friend "Gil" has an item in
which he mentions the happy
result of a contact made be-
tween his foot and an axe. Inn
mediately upon reading proof
on that item, l dashed home and
hunted up my old camp Ratchet.
l found it by seeing the "cut-
ting" edge before 1 did the han
die. The effort required to
sharpen it enough to bruise the
shine on my brogans was too
much, and l gave it up. My in
tentions were fairly good. Not
that I craved a hacked hoof, nor
that 1 expected Tom to dupli-
cate that generous feat, but l
had a feeting suspicion that
some kind friend would shave
Toms generosity and mail me
a letter Of coincidence and thirty
cents in stamps.
But a hundred dollar check!
All, those were the good old
days! Just imagine, try to i'm
agine, check in these NRA-ish
days being above suspicion if in
excess of six bits! Take hun
bred dollar check to a bank
these days and even the guard
looks askance at you, the staff
phones the book keeper and the
porter hangs around the door.
l know a lot of fellows who d
cut a leg off with a hacksaw for
fifty bucks!
But at that I'm going to vote
for Tom Davis, this time and
any and every time Tom Davis
makes a race for any Office. He's
as right as a golden guinea.
Vote for him-all Of you!

SCHOOL SPIRIT
By Lorene Belair

School Spirit" just what does
one mean by those words? There
are so many different things that
go to make up the definition of
these two important words that it
is hard to enumerate them all.
However, I believe the most i'm
portant meaning is just what the
words themselves say, and that is
spirit that you have for your
school," But there are several
things that go to make up spirit y
One of the things is the attitude
of a student toward his teachers
and fellow Students. This should in
clude courtesy and respect and
the willingness to help whenever
necessary. Spirit of school should
include pep, enthusiasm and will
ingness toward all school activities.
Also in school spirit is included
the attitude of a person toward the
school itself, that is the supplies
of a school, such as desks, walls,
floors, books and other factors of
the building. .
In SO many words, l believe it is
meant by school spirit to Give or
die for your SCHOOL," To put all
you have behind it, and to back it
to its limit!
And now let's see all of the stu
dents developing this feature if
you have not already done So
freshmen, sophomores, juniors and
seniors alike. Do it now! You
can't do it any younger! And you
freshies, this is splendid time for
you to begin. Although l will adj
init you have made an excellent
start, keep it up!

SOCIETY NEWS
By Dorothy Larkin

Saturday evening about z pm, a
group of about sixty freshmen
were assembled in front of the
high school, expectant and yet anx-
ious to get the initiation over. But
why shouldn't they! For once they
were inside the building they GER
tainly did wish it was over. For
that "raw liver" just didn't taste
as good as mother "cooks!" And
that fly-paper just wouldn't come
off their bare feet! And besides all
the other so-called "stunts" I be-
ieve that all the freshies will agree
the paddles hurt the most. In fact,
there were several freshies sitting
down real easy Monday morning.
However after the initiation, games
were played and refreshments were
served which seemed to soften the
frshmen's feelings little.

SPORTS
By Sperling Boutelle

The Lions played their first
scheduled game September Fl at
Dayton and won everything but
the winning score. We made IL
first downs to Dayton's three. And
we scrimmaged III yards to the
Bulldogs So. Kennewick punted 3
times averaging 65 yards to a
kick, while Dayton kicked 8 times
at quarter. The line was: Oliver
completed 9 passes and the Bull
dogs 8.
Although the Lions came home
with the short end of the score the
team gained a lot of confidence in
themselves which in the future is
going to be great help.
Several things that were against
Kennewick was the fact that Day
ton averaged a much heavier team
and also it seemed Kennewick was
continually being penalized from
5 to Is yards much to our great
disadvantage.
Our team had two passes inter-
cepted which is something that will
not happen again. But it was in
the last part of the third quarter
when the team "let down" for one
play and let Decker score the
touchdown that won the game for
Dayton.
Our quarterback Maddox show
ed that he was certainly deserving
of the title captain" by calling
such good plays. And if it had not
been for so much talking in the
huddle by other players probably
would have called the play that
would have brought the Bacon"
home.
The starting lineup was as fol-
lows: Graves and Harrington,
halves; Walters, fullback; Maddox
at quarter. The fine was: Oliver
and O'Neil, ends; Boutelle, Tay-
lor, tackles; Wilson, VanNiman al
guard and Giard center.
The next game is with Touchet
on the 28th and this should be an
easy victory. The second team
should see some action in this one.
The football squad wants to ex-
press their great appreciation for
the splendid support they were
given at Dayton. And wish to
thank students and businessmen
alike. They hope to see more OF
such spirit.
