Every MoUe Is NeuOs

Naturally, every move Baugh
makes is news. He made wild
throw the other day and word
painters strained their imagina-
tionS conjuring up SMILES and
metaphors to properly describe
the incident. At this time of
year one wild throw means
little. Arms are not yet turned,
but national figures must pay
the penalty Of their position.
Baugh will learn how to field.
He has athletic instinct, with
out which no man can succeed
in competitive sport. We know
that he can hit a handkerchief
at 80 yards with a football, so
we know he will learn to throw
a baseball. Whether or not he
will hit is open to debate. It is
tough shedding for a mediocre
batSman to make the grade with
the Cardinals.
It is more than likely that
Baugh's football activities will
initiate against him in baseball.
He took a terrific beating in
every game he played. Whether
or not Baugh handled the ball,
opposing linemen tackled him
on general principles.
Nor did they stand upon the
order of their tackling. He was
fair, game, and the rival athletes
took their shot. Since Baugh's
passing was the greatest single
asset of the Redskins, the rival
teams hit him on the right arm
and right shoulder until some
nights he could hardly comb his
hair.
Few, Far BetWeen
Not only in the championship
series were these tactics fol-
lowed, but during the exhibition
tour as well. The Bears nailed
Baugh at every opportunity.
They yanked his arm, banged
his shoulder. Small wonder that
"Slingin'" Sam has made wild
throws in training camp, the
marvel would be if his pegs were
true.
Football stars are few and far
between in the major leagues.
Lou Gehrig of the Yankees
played at Columbia, and today
Is the highest paid baseball
player of the day. Gehrig is
one of the all-time greats of
baseball. Frankie Frisch, Cardi-
nal manager was one of the fin
est halfbacks Fordham ever
produced.
There have been others, but
compare the number of gridiron
stars who failed in baseball
with the select few who made
good. Jim Thorpe, the mighty
Indian athlete, was one of the
outstanding failures of baseball.
Hinkey and Glenn Killinger, of
Penn State, we're All-America
timber. 1t was different on the
diamond. Mike Gazella, of La
fayette, tried baseball with in
different success.
Baugh wants to play profes-
sional baseball. He will give
himself a thorough test. If he
convinceS himself that he has
the ability, he may quit football.
It will have to be one or the
other, for baseball and football
do not mix.

PROTECTING THE DRY STATES

When Franklin D. Roosevelt accepted the Demo
cratic nomination in 1882 he paraphrased the words
of the repeal plank of the platform to say, eve
must and will :. enable the states to protect
themselves against the Importation of Intoxicating
liquor where such importations may violate then
state laws" Later the repeal provided
The transportation or importation INTO any
state of Intoxicating liquors, in violation
of the laws thereof, is hereby prohibited.
Yet today, with respect to the four states which
attempt to bar intoxcants this federal prohibition
in the 21st Amendment against transportation Of
liqquor across their borders practically does not
exist. 1t has become, for the present, completely
vacuous promise because the law which congress
passed and then amended thinking it was keeping
its pledge to the dry states has been held by the
treasury department not to apply to them or to
any state in the union.
This is because to obtain benefit Of the federal
statute as revised two years ago state must either
prohibit absolutely all sales of beverage alcohol
without the usual exceptions for medicinal and
sacramental use or else must set up q permit Sys-
tenn for the control of these exempted uses. And
none of the four states--Kansas, Oklahoma, Ten
nessee and Mississippi-haS such permit system
or, with the exception of Mississippi, has any way
of inaugurating one until the next session of the
state legislature in 1889
For several years after the repeal of the 18th
Amendment it remained federal offense, punish
able by fine OF Imprisonment, to transport liquor
into dry state, and federal officials under this
statute could help store the liquor flow at the Dor
ders while state officials dealt with the situation
within This seems only reasonable cooperation
in view of the assurances that were given at the
time of repeal.
An effort probably will be made to amend the
pending tax bill in the senate to forbid transpor-
tation of liquor across dry state and to put the
burden of proof on the owner to show if it is for
one Of the exempted uses. Everyone knows that
probably SO per cent of the liquor that would be
stopped under this authority is destined for boot
leg channels; hence this appears reasonable solu-
ton 1t may be that state enforcement would gain
by having a permit system such as the treasury
recommends, but couple of years could be allowed
for It's installation and the needed federal support
for state dry laws should not be withheld mean

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
wHITMlRE AS VIEWED IN HAYWOOD

The congressional race between Zebulon weaver
and R. Lee Whitmire is not by any means oeng
overshadowed by announcements of county canoI'
dates.
Word from Mr.. Whitmire this week SAID the I0r-
mer Henderson county senator would be IN nay

here frequently that there is possibility OF county
headquarters being established here.
A short trip through Henderson county over the
weekend by member of the staff of this paper
revealed that Henderson county is supporting ther
home far beyond expectations of even his
closest hackers
The Hendersonyille Times-News, an independent
and most conservative newspaper, seldom takes a
part editorially in county politics, unless there IS
moral question involved, But the day Mr.. Whtmne
announced, the newspaper editorially, lndreetly'
put their stamp of approval on the HendersonViile
candidate. Not in Is years has this been done be-
fore, if the memory of this writer is correct
Political advertisements for Mr.. Whltmre nave
already appeared in The Pennsylvania Times, IN
Brevard, the native home of the young candidate
But regardless of the progress Mr.. Whltmre
makes right now, it must be remembered that Mr..
Weaver has for years always staged last minute
campaign, when he did campaign. Most of his cam
paigning is done in quiet way. Whether ne VIII
follow this policy this year is not publicly known
It might be that he will meet Mr.. Whitmre IN an
early campaign, while on the other hand he may
resort to the former system which has kept him IN
congress for 20 years.-Waynesville Mountaineer

REORGANIZATION BEATEN

The government reorganization bill about which

Ambassador Joe Kennedy, until
recently chairman of the Maritime
Commission, charged that some
fairly stiff bids had been made
last year for construction of mer-
chant marine vessels but that
when the private shipyards saw
the big naval contracts coming
they boosted bids for merchant
marine vessels by as much as so
per cent.
Senator Bennett Clark of Mis-

the government must buy from
the combine or not at all.

WTASHINGTON.-Last month a
" first-claSs battleship for the
United States Navy was estimated
to cost about $70,Oo0,0OO.
Today, according to confidential
estimates of naval officers, the
cost can be placed somewhere
around $l0Q,000,000.
The increase is due to the fact
that the Navy Department and the
administration now recommend
45,ooG-ton ships, having aban-
doned the old 3s,ooO-tori treaty
limit.
With costs rising in this and in
other ways, little if anything is
being done to see that the taxpay-
ers get their moneys worth from
what originally was called an
sSO0.OOo,000 naval expansion pro-
gram, but more lately has: been
described as $1,12i,000, 200
measure which is fairly sure to be
much more expensive by the time
shipbuilders have presented their
bids.
Although many complaints
have come from administra-
ton throats against prices and
rates of profit in other industries,
no one here seems to have a clear
idea what the profit rate is on
battleships. There have been some
curious incidents, however, which
indicate that certain critics NAV
be correct when they say the le-
gally fixed profit limit of 10 Der
cent doesn't mean anything under
certain methods Of accounting
Last year private shipyards bid
S4s,87o,ooo and SAT 1899 900 on two
battleships, while government
navy yards bid S37,265, 600 and
$36,78s,OOo. The average differ
ence was sll,S27,OOO. At the pres
