THINGS ONE
REMEMBERS
BY n. NJ. Hofer

A free, uncensored and unli-
censed press is the greatest safe
guard of the rights and liberties
of American citizens
Never was proof Of this more
apparent than today. when the
editors in every part of the ma
ton are discussing the acts and
policies of public servants. from
the President down In the ma
iority of eases they are doing this
from a non-partisan angle and
purely for what they believe to
be the best interests of the ma
ton
An example of this is an edi-
torial by Roy II. Johnson, editor
of the Fayetteville, West Virginia,
Tribune In a column and a half
he comments on the general smear
campaign that has been underway
against So-called big business to
try to divert public attention from
the underlying causes of the pres
ent business depression. He takes
for his text the inflammatory
statement that sixty families con-
troll the nation.
He then points out that his sec
ton of Virginia has become high
" industrialized and that its in
dustries are backed by some of
the big businesses condemned by
politicians, including members of
the sixty families" He says the
local people can personally. check
up on industrial conditions in his
territory. as TO working condi-
tons, living conditions and gen
eral treatment accorded to en-
ployes.
He asks why the defamers of
big business don't name the indus
tries to which they refer, instead
of trying to inflame the public
against all big business. He says
he cannot get the viewpoint of the
politician who makes blanket &C
cuSationS against industries whose
investments and activities have
brought progress, made it possible
to build paved roads. improve and
broaden the educational system,
first through direct taxes and sec
ond through wages and the taxes
that flow from wages. He points
out that following such progress
sive modern industries, have come

From the Washington Starr

From the Washington Starr
Harvey S. Firestone has died at a time when
it is fashionable to sheer at men of his quality as
economic royalists' and to suggest that, in some
manner not exactly defined they are traitors to
civilization. The nonsense of such theory is
manifest, yet it has enjoyed popularity of which
the American people should be ashamed
He was self-made captain of industry. That
in itself is testimony for MIR. Firestone's genius

RANDLE SWEEPS
COLV|N RUN SHOW
TricoIor Won by His Sport
Marvel, Reserve Ribbon
by Wiltshire.

COLVIN RUN, Va, Sept. 3.-Twelve
horses from three stables staged q
rather disappointing exhibition tn the
Colvin Run Horse and Pony Show as
the two-day meet came to q close with
entries Of U. s. Randle, Sd, capturing
both championship and reserve cham
pionship honors.
There was no fault to be found with
the quality Of the horses that took
part, but interest from the spectators
standpoint was dealt severe blow by
the failure of more exhibitors to ap-
pear. 1t was learned that many were
at the Keswick Hunts show, near
Charlottesville.
Randle's Sport Marvel won the
championship tricolor, and, inciden-
tally, trophy that had been donated
Tor the champion by Mrs. Randle,
while Wiltshire, from the same barn,
was placed as reserve champion.
Many Prizes for RandIe.
In all. the Randle stable won truck
load OF prizes that included 10 CUPS
and rs ribbons. In the ladies' hunter
class it swept all three places with
Mrs. Robert Maddox doing the riding,

tured one blue and eight minor prizes.

Bulge opened by winning Brom-
Wlch's service in love game He
dropped the next two, while clowning
and then ran off five straight games
to win the set. 60.
Bulge exhibited such superiority
that Bromwich joined the gallery in
laughing at his own futility. In the
second set j. Donald clowned again
master of net play, he refused to
run for Bromwich's close shots. Still
he won. 6-3, and in the process he
finished the game by scoring three
consecutive love games, two on the
Australian boys service. He won ii
straight points over one stretch.
The crowd already was beginning to
file out of the stand when the third set
opened with Bulge taking a 10 lead.
But then the American started to put
on his act with new emphasis. He
allowed BromWich to make it ~ and
then committed frequent errors and
succeeded In losing. +6.
buoge was like a cat playing with
an injured mouse. The most mercifuI
thing he could have done was to end
1t. Instead. he won two straight love
games in the fourth set and then took
a third game by lesser margin. Here
he allowed Bromwich to get back into
the battle. In fact, two-fisted John
had set point three times, but failed
to get across the big point and Bulge,
finally tiring of the show and sensing
the lmpatience of the crowd and the
gathering dusk. ran off three straight
games to win by rs.
The score sounds close, but the
match really wasn't. Bulge always
left the impression that whenever he
wanted he could end it. He aced
BrQmwich five times. and three times
the aces ended a set That's how
much Bulge was in command.
There wasn't, in short, much good
tennis on display. And. barring the

W. H. Walker, manager Of the touring

clared today there is = strong possi-
bility that a women's international

up whereby the cup will be placed
