SPORT SHOTS

Those newspaper pictures of
BILL SMALL, the Central High
football lad, make him look like a
mud fence. He really is a good
looking kid, so nice and tall m
everything. BY the time he is
ready for college, if he goes, he
should have put on enough pound
age to make him quite husky. With
added weight and maturity, he
should approximate the build of
WILLIS WARD. He already has
the tall ranginess of Ward.
In spite of all the fancy passing
ALABAMA pulled in the Rose
Bowl game, / don't believe that
they can be put into the same class
with MINNESOTA. amt no
football expert, but if Minnesota
and Alabama tangled, I'd put my
cash on the Gophers without even
thinking twice about it. Where
was all the power Alabama was
supposed to have? Seems to me
that after getting the first couple
of touchdowns through taking to
the air, the Tuscaloosa boys would
have turned on the power (if they
had any,. HOWELL is great
passer, and there's no doubt about
that, but 1 can't help but wonder
where Alabama would have been
if he and HUTSON hadn't been in
the lineup?
If Minnesota played Alabama, I
will wager the Bierman boys would
do something about the 'Bama
passing! Even if the sharp-shoot-
ing Howell would be able to get
off his passes, Hutson would be
nailed before he could get away
after receiving the ball. Minnesota
would be smacking the Alabam' re-
ceivers so hard that they would be
too groggy to worry about getting
hold of the ball, let alone run with
it.
STANFORD played some kinda
dumb football, if you ask me. At
ter sweeping down the field on
power drives, they would get with
in ten or fifteen yards of the goal
and then-take to some lousy pass
ing on the last two downs. Seems
that they would have stuck to the
power drives to score, rather than
resort to uncertain passing. They
should have left the passing entire
ly alone. They usually had only
one receiver instead of two or

Holy Week 1885

Of all the weeks in the year, many of them dedicated to this, that and every thing, mostly unessential at least to man. kinds moral responsibilities and obliga- tions, perhaps this, Holy Week, should offer the best opportunity for a checkup along these lines. Since the crack-up of what was thought up until five years ago, world security, everyone and everything but thought of God has been tried as solution for a cure-all for the apparent chaotic state of affairs. Mere man in his petty egotism had come to practically be- 4ieNs that he could rule the universe. What a bb1ry debacle the result has been. Pig mfeS in ignominious retreat.
 { With every known agency thrown into the breech to stem the surge of depression, even after five years, what has been Accomplished in the way of moral improve ment in what generally speaking we will designate as business conditions? Noth- ing. If an inventory was honestly made, 1t would show that greater greed and hatred stalks the length and breadth of the e-dniyerse than ever before. The world cataciysm has not even yet brought man. kind to it's knees in either supplication, or Thanksgiving, to the God who rules the universe.
 
 bu@ .iDnport, of which, there are so many, is eyer launched with an invocation that it be the will of God? What success, or degree of improvement, is ever followed bX anything in the way of public thanks to God? It is not so long ago in the his tory of thiss sffation that the Pilgrim Fathers did both these things before sal!- ing for and upon landing at Plymouth Rock. They recognized the need of God in their undertaking. Our Continental Congfess in 1775 had recourse to God before launching upon the War of lnde- pendehce. And in every great achieve ment until recent years, when manklnG has deserted God for the dollars, we find it was the rule = devalued God as well ha a. devalued dollar,
 That is why today mankind finds him. self bewildered unable to cope with the difficulties with which he is beset. On the one side he calls upon Roosevelt to pull him out, the other1a Hoover, a Mellon, Borah, and anybody as long as it can be done, And yet no open public call upon God. We read of the dust storms, droughts, floods and all kinds of new forms of pestilence Immediately mankind gets his scientists to work on the cause. But never does he once think that God in his heaven is still, in his mercy by some phenomenon or other, trying to bring him to his knees, if for nothing more than to asksIJis help, And mankind in it's asinine stqpidity still thinks itself supreme and in nosiieed of help. All1of this and more, as we Said above contmends itself for uni yersaT introspection this week = Holy Week.

UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA NEED EACH OTHERS SUP
 PORT FOR WORLD TRADE
April 16, 1895.

April 16, 1885. Editor of The Democrat:
 Some time ago a prominent cdu- cator accused this writer of Flag waving" If there ever was time in the history of the country when devotion to the flag was q virtue, it is surely now. The American flag needs no fiag-waving on the part of any one who has home under its glorious folds. 1t stands for traditions that have made 1t a symbol of humanity and liberty where ever people strive for those great ideals. The American of Lin- coin and Washington has always been the refuge of the oppressed--- the land of promise to enslavcd races. If there is to be a realization of world Utopia where there will be justice for all, the old. the young, the siclS and the poor; this writer believes that the germ of that hope will spring from Amer ican soil. It needs no clairvoyant vision to see that.
 <1IHti " iCbb- CTS. They deVour newspapers, books, magazines with q relish that Is constantly increasing. It's great newspapers try to supply the de- mand and are the greatest educa- tors of the masses who clamor for more and more information of what other people, all over the world. are thinking and doing.
 But the time has come when seasoned readers and thinkers are about satiated with false, interest into press and magazines. At the present time the public demand the truth about another great country, whose people have achieved their liberation much as did the Americans of 1876. That country Is Russia. The time is conn ming when American and Russian markets will rule the world, and 1t is of the utmost necessity that there be common understanding between the two races. The fact that we have been held back by the fear of contamination of our political ideals IS q serious handi- cap to grasping the truth of what is really transplring on the far side of the world.

The University In Exile

tHians are under way to make. the "University in Exile permanent insti- tuition in America. This University con- Siste of graduate faculty of IS distin- kaiehed social science professors from German universities who refused to accept Nazisdictation in their class rooms. They were invited by the. New School of Social Research in New York City to make use of its9facilities to carry on their work and to offer American and other graduate students the same opportunities "tradl- tionally sought in pre-Nazi Germany"
 The invitation was sponsored also by 200 American educational leaders. The first IS months of the University in Exile have been so valuable that all the sponsors want it to continue. Students from for eign lands will be enrolled, hereafter, as well as Americans.
 It is possible that the temporary mar rowing of educational opportunity in Ger many, regarded with regret throughout the world, will serve to stimulate the best in Germany education elsewhere. When Germany is ready to go forward again educationalIy as she did in the past, she will find that the torches of her intel 1ectual leaders have not been extinghished, but have been burning brightly in far places. <

wars the students have rushed Co enlist. 1T present signs indicate a real change ot attitude, they will not do so again. Not only will they not volunteer, but they will resist military draft, unless they are con vinced that threatened war is genuinely defensive and inevitable.
 How are tkey going to fight militarism effectively, when patriOteers and mis- guided statesmen begin beating the drums? :? Perhaps as good hint as any was given by Oswald Garrison Willard in addressing one of the student mass-meetings, when he said: Youth everywhere should have the right to decide whether it shall pc sacrificed in the next world war which is now brewing. No government should have the right to send it's sons to death on the battle field without at least getting their consent"
 Youth may soon demand this right. The nation as a whole may come to demand, as reasonable thing in free, democratic, peace-loving country, that no declaration of war shall become effective without ap- proval in a national referendum.

 He also sent his best cartoonist Homer Davenport to caricature Huntington. That was long before he started his chain of newspapers The result was the total defeat of Coils r. Huntington, and he was the Southern Pacific. and the State of California was freed from his shackles.
 During the hearing on the bill Huntington met Bierce on the steps of the Capitol and in thc presence of witnesses asked him to name his price. Bierce answered that his price was what Hunting" ton owed the government, and the story was flashed around the world, under the flaming caption of: "The Pen is Mightier than the Sword" This was reported in the San Francisco Examiner of Febru- ary 22, 1896. 1t was typicc' Hearst victory, but due to Bierce and Davenport. Hearst is a keen judge of human nature and always rewards talent. With his weight thrown behind the New Deal the result is beyond doubt, despite all the batteries the g.o.p. can bring to bear against the President. His influence in keeping Russia and America apart is to be regretted, because it is known and well known in diplomatic circles that Russia is on the side of America to avert war.

Hearst papers confirms that of Duranty in reporting industrial and agricultural conditions in that country normal.
 It Is pointed out that the pie lures of destinations in Russia as per the Hearst newspapers are copies of photographs taken back in the Volga famine in 1921. In connection with this Is the well known dislike of all things Rus sian to MT Hearst for reasons known to himself alone.
 Let it be understood that Will liam Randolph Hearst, even as a retired newspaper warrior, is not to be ignored in American politics, true he has not realized some of his pet ambitions despite his wealth, but he has set a mark never before reached by an Amer ican publisher
 It is of significant fact that Mir Hearst is reported to have thrown the weight of his chain of news papers behind the reelection of Francis Delano Roosevelt, fact which should cause the republicans much loss of sleep between now and 1886. What MT Hearst sets out to do he generally accomplishes.
 As an indication of his power, stands the record of how he saved California from the tentacles of the Southern Pacific Railroad way back In the heyday of the power of Coils r. Huntington, head of the $. F. k. system. It was at that time that Fremont Older, militant Pa cific Coast journalist discovered that there were few newspapers in California not on the payroll of the $. r. R., which had control of the political machinery of the state, and dominated municipal govern ments. county governments, courts and sheriffs. Farmers hauled their produce by mule teams rather than submit to the iniquifous fares of the Southern Pacific. even the steamship lines were subsidized.
 Mir Hearst then in the full pow CT of his youth, threw the weight of his San Francisco Examiner against Huntington, and obtained 100000 signatures against the Funding Bill introduced in con- gress by Huntington. Mass meet ings against the bill were held ull over California. On the 18th, of January, 1896. Hearst put his best Journalist in the field and sent him to cover the bill in congress. and to take charge of the lobby against the bill. That newspaperman was Ambrose Bierce. The first newspa~ per columnist in this country. and the famous writer Of "Prattle." the column that was the hate and dread of every crook and racket ecr in California.

 With some of their colleagues, Senators Wagner and Costigan have become the most unpopu- lar members of congress. Reas- on Is their championship of the anti-lynching bill.
 Especially In the border states, this bill Is putting several senators on the spot. In Mary land, for instance, the Eastern Shore helped to defeat Governor Isitchie because he champiOned Negro victims of lynch mObs. At the same time, there Is a large Negro electorate in Mary. land.
 Whichever way Maryland sem ators vote they are on the spot. And senators from various other states are in the sam e boat. As a result they are say ing:
