ANNAPOLIS, Md, Feb. 20.
With the basketball and boxing
cards completed, the Navy will still
be able to present an interesting
winter sports program tomorrow,
consisting Of five varsity and three
plebe contests.
OF outstanding interest are the
swimming and water polo meets
with Pennsylvania and the wrest-
ling with Lehigh, intercollegiate
champions last season. Swimming
and water-polo with Penn will be
for both varsity and freshmen
plebe teams.
At water polo, the Navy team
has q big chance Of clinching the
intercollegiate title for this year.
Beat Columbia and Rutgers
It defeated Columbia last Friday,
and has also won from Rutgers,
which turned the trick against
Penn, so that its chances Of reach
ing the peak are good.
After their loss to Penn State
last Saturday, the Navy wrestlers
do not appear to have much chance
against Lehigh, which had de-
feated the Nittany Lions. Still,
Navy teams are noted for startling
comeback, and they are ready for
a great effort to redeem the season.
Other Events
Gymnastics with Massachusetts
Tech and fencing with Hamilton
are the other varsity events. The
dies at home.

Two weeks ago this column
suggested to the Office Of
Public Buildings and Parks
that the needless extermina-
ton I and waste of shad in
the Tidal Basin be curtailed.
Through the cooperation Of this
office the daily catch per individ-
ual is now limited to IL fish and
the sale of same at the Basin has
been approved by Commissioner
Frank T. Bell of the United States
Bureau of Fisheries, and we feel
that now, the men, women and
children that really need these
fish for food, will be reasonably
assured Of lasting supply.
Local trout fishermen are Suf-
fering with spring fever now that
only five weeks remain before
Opening day." when life begins
for fly fishermen.
Tying Flies
Personally we are tying flies
feverishly, dressing lines, fond
ling the Haynes" 2K2-ounce rod,
sharpening hooks, trying on hip
boots and creel, applying patches,
varnish and waterproofing where
needed, also making plans, ad
infinum. Half Of the sport Is
the anticipation!
From Atlantic, North Carolina,
this week came q message Of
cheer for the surf fishermen and
trolling enthusiasts. Capt. John
Leavell writes that he has seen
several large schools Of Channel
Bass off Of Cape Hatteras. He
feels. that the fishing should be
good there in the early part Of
April, and that q good season is
in prospect. Now you surf anglers
should feel bad! The roar Of
the surf is little different in its
appeal than the music Of a
tumbling mountain brook.
Skeet Club Officers

President, Bill" Leetch; vice

TIVE BRITISH AND THEIR KING

II the King of England were to set the parl'a-
ment at naught the British would return to an ao-
solute monarchy. The struggle through the cen
tpries for the liberties of England would be lost
utterly The constitutional crisis which has had the
British and the other peoples excited and alarmed
in greater or less degree emphasizes the relation
ship between subjects and king.
Il was Bagehot, says the Boston Evening Tran
scr;pt "who said that under the British constltu-
tion the sovereign had the right to be consulted,
the right to encourage and the right to warn.
II Britons are to remain free, they cannot ae-
cent an absolute monarch, royal Dictator with
full mower over the lives and actions Of ali his
subjects. This seems an exaggeration OF the con-
troversy which has been raging in London, but II
Englands unwritten constitution should be set
aside it would be question of time before w.
rant would ascend the throne.
The British have passed through their crisis and,
according to their way will pick up where they iet
off when the sensational news was announced. Inc
government and the parliament have won the
points they considered vital Opposition to the gov
eminent headed by Prime Minister Stanley Bald
win has concured in the opinions,
The relationship between the British and their
king has been developing through centuries and II
is because of the safeguards that the Enghsh
throne survives in time when thrones are lew
and wobbly. The late King George steered
careful course through the eddies and whirpo0ls
wrought by the World war. He accepted the con-
ditions under which the king must reign. Ming
George vi has assured that his fathers policies
will be his. The British believe that they will.
And it is assured that Queen Elizabeth De as
popular as the kings consort as she was as the
Duchess of York. Meantime, the heir presumptive'
Princess Elizabeth is the idol Of the nation.-lhe

belief that II can make ltSeI PROS
porous by encouraging profession
al gambling. ,
In the spring Of 1884 while |
was in Miami, Fla, this statement
was made to me by man in high
position: GAS one public official
to another. l warn you not to let
horse racing, dog racing and other
forms Of professional gambling
get a foothold in your city Of
Asheville. We in Miami thought
those activities would be profit
able for us, but we have discover
ed otherwise" Then he went on
to say exactly what the merchants
of Alaska are now saying-that
the citizenery instead of paying
their bills to the merchants We're
losing it to the gamblers. And
this" he said, 'has become serl-
Gus problem for our merchants
The community which attempts
to profit through encouraging
gambling institutions, is like a
man who hopes to profit through
selling booze to the rest of the
community, but expects to keep
the stuff away from his own sons.
Usually the thing can't be done. |

tible degrees
Whether conscious or not of the transition, thu
American people are falling in, with the process
sional that moves with fruitful even though SIMS
ter step, toward centralized government, and 1t IS
but short cry from centralized federal govern
ment to dictatorized federal government. They are
not different!
Mr.. Bell and Mr. Hill are old-tmeish.
They are Democrats of the household Of faith
aristocrats if you please, of an ancient society OF
Democrats who held that the rights of smaller UNITS
in government, cities, counties, towns and states,
were inviolable by invasion of federal authority.
That's what the constitution used to say.
We have belonged to that company, ourselves,
once hourshng, powerful and militant in its cham
pionship of democracy as that principle and polit-
cal postulate came bounding down the years
straight from the hands and heads and hearts of
men who recognized Jefferson as the prophet OF
their faith. .
The protest of these elderly and anguishing gen.
tlemen in the senate will avail nothing.
They will be obliged to stick their tongues IN
their cheeks when they have finally voted, and hoa
their nose while they voluntarily swallow tins
nasty dose of federally imposed authority upon
great and of-age commonwealth.
And for the reason that North Carolina must
qualify. ,.
Il will lose million or two three in the taxes
of its employers and employees unless it does as
Washington says and bows at its imperial beck and
call.
The legislation to be sure, is not bad OF itself.
It's the way it has to be enacted which makes
healthy Democrats sick ON their st0mach'--ehar'

HENDERSoNvILLE LOSES GOOD
CITIZEN

In the death of John Ekbank, Hender-
sonville, the county and State has lost
citizen who was profoundly interested in
public affairs and was always Informed
and alert to be of service to his fellow citl-
zens. He had filed number of positions
Of public trust and many other places
where q forward-l looking and progressive
citizen is called upon to serve the public
without reward or the hope thereof. In
other channels of effort and service ne led
an active life; and no citizen of the town
and county was more constantly occupied
with private and public affairs, with
thoughtful study of public questions and
problems, or was more ready and gener-
Gus in the giving of advice or service in
the effort to advance the material, educa-
tional and moral interests of his town,
county and State.
John Ewbank was profoundly concerned
with the progress of North Carolina along
All lines which he believed would con-
tribute to the welfare of our people. He
gave much time and thought to the high
way building movement, to consideration
of the building up of the public school sys-
tenn, and to problems connected with taxa
ton. In discussing any of these or other
public issues he was always found to have
information and understanding of the sub
ject which evidenced effort and time given
to study and to honest determination to ar
rive at right conclusions and to throw the
weight of his influence for the welfare and
progress of the county and State.
His views of the needs of the State and
of, the steps to be taken to enable North
Carolina to make progress and become an
increasingly better country for its citizens,
were neither narrow or prejudiced. He re-
fused to take "class" view or position in
politics or in public affairs. He believed in
the principle of the greatest good to the
greatest number and believed it to be the
obligation of political parties and of gov
eminent to strive for that end.
In his personal character and private
life John Ewbank was good citizen. a
man of known integrity; and his genial ma
ture and generous measure of qualifica-
ton for meeting and mixing with his fell
low men, made him widely known, re-
spected and liked by thousands. His pass
ing out Of this life brings sorrow to his
many friends here and elsewhere.

AS TO. GAMBLING
By WICKES WAMBOLDT

knew well man who ran a bar
room who never touched a drop,
and who insisted that his sons
never touch drop. He made
considerable money, but his boys
got to drinking and ran through
with it.. And the last state of that
man and his family was worse than
the first.
Gambling is evil businessmen
the professional gamblers know
that; if they have any milk of hu-
man kindness in their systems,
they want to keep their children
and their fellow citizens away
from it. The Prince of Monaco,
in whose province famous-or in
famoys->Monte Carlo is located,
will not allow his subjects to pa
tronize the place. He knows bet
ter.
The man who opened the first
of the great gambling establish
ments in Miami, would not permit
the local people to patroniZe the
place. He did not mind dry-clean-
ing visitors, but he had sympathy
for the home folks.
But all that is changed now.
That discriminating gambler took
in a partner who did not share his
views about not shaking down the
townsfolk. They quarreled and
shot each other to death.
The community willing to profit
from gambling, narcotics, booze
and prostitution is building on a
filthy foundation, and says in eff
feet, 1--WE will do anything for
money" And a community which
talks that way is a good place for
self-respecting folk to get away
from-particularly so if they have
children, to rear.
