NO MORE COLONELS? ' . « •- Asheville Citizen Times To say that the news from Frankfort that all Kentucky colonels have been de moted, abolished and wiped out of existence is devastating is a palpable understatement. Who, we would like to know, is this At torney General B. M. Vincent who assumes authority to say that "no person has a right now to be designated as a Kentucky colonel, either in Kentucky or elsewhere"? Who clothed him with authority to make such an interpretation of the law of the Blue Grass State? t The attorney general may be a stripling or he may be a graybeard; but we would remind him that, regardless of his age, j there were Kentucky colonels long before ever he arrived upon the scene; and we are confident that there will be Kentucky col onels long after he has been gathered to his fathers. Furthermore, no stranded and unnatural twisting of the statutes, if such there be can do away with the ancient and higher rule, the tradition that eclipses statutes: Once a Kentucky colonel, always a Kentucky colonel! There are, it is stated, something like seventeen thousand persons, men and wo men, now holding commissions as Kentucky colonels. A formidable army, if you please But there is no need for them to march on Frankfort in force. The thing to do, it seems to us, is to sic Mae West—Colonel Mae West, remember—on this boy Vincent. The idea of his trying to strip Mae of her title, with all the honors, privileges, re sponsibilities, hereditaments and what have you that go with it!

THORP & THORP, Attorneys (Office With Standard Insurance and Realty Corporation) ANDY GUMP—REQUIESCAT IN PACE ________ I Sanford Herald It appears to be high time that someone should sit himself down and write an obi tuary notice for the late lamented Andrew Gump—husband, father one-time presidenti al candidate and 100-perc£nt-American. For Andy is dead. Along with all the other Gumps, their enemies and their friends, Andy went to the Bright and Beautiful Shore when his creator, the talented Syd ney Smith, met death in an automobile accident a few months ago. Andy Gump had personality. His was a complex character, flecked with whimsy, impulse, gullibility, egotism, wit, and other 1 traits that make homo sapiens the facsi nating animal he is. Andy Gump Was more than that: he was at once a caricature and a portrait of the American "family man." But toll the bell, Andy is'gone. In his place, cavorting around in Andy's clothes and using his name, is a slapstick comedian, one of the stereotypes of the comic strips, trying very hard to be funny while look ing like Andy Gump. There is still a strip called The Gumps, but Andy—the character so real to the American public that he could draw a crowd to a railroad station where it was Vumored he would stop, and who had votes cast for him in a presidential election —that Andy died with his creator. SOUND ECONOMICS - News and Observer Business conditions are undoubtedly bet ter in the United States. There is no room for division on that score. But there is room for real questioning as to whether the shape which recovery is taking is, from the standpoint not of government but 6f business, altogether sound. Business lead ers have had a great deal to say about the unsoundness of administration economic policies. It would be interesting to know whether they regard as altogether sound a recovery within industry which shows gain.-? of 30 to 40 per cent for capital and only about 3 to 7 per cent for labor. Business can not go on increasing indefinitely at a* rate many times as great as the increase in the consuming power of the workers. Machines may take the place of men in production but only men can consume. And until busi ness recognizes the danger in a dividend recovery over a continuing worker depres sion, business is in no position to speak of any governmental economic policies as un sound. "Big Business has chosen for itself in this compaign an interesting alias, the Am erican Liberty League. This offspring of u notorious political miscegnation held a banquet in Washington a short time ago, a banquet at whose board, according to the Conservative Washington Post, there were seated persons representing a billion dol lars in wealth. THE ROCKY MOUNT HERALD, ROCKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA Weekly Sport REVIEW Football In a short while the various col leges and high schools throughout the country will begin spring foot ball practice. Last year some 40 odd participants of the gridiron game received injuries that result ed fatally. More than 90 per cent of these were high school or sand lot players. Injuries in football can be attri buted largely to improper training and inadequate equipment and playing facilities. In as much as the high school players are the chief sufferers from injuries derived thru playing football, this article is di rected mainly at them. Or better still let us direct it at a more re sponsible source, the coach ■or trainer. Let the coach of a high .school or sand lot team take ia tip from his big brother, profes sional football. Dirt-ing their tenx years of operation I fail t6 recall a single death in their ranks due to football. They are put through a hard, rigerous training session, pos- 2 " _ April 3, 1936. I S.

If a player is injured he is not allowed to compete until he is physically fit. So even though they play' a long er schedule than the average eleven, and engage in harder, rougher games, the ratio of disability is low in com parison to others. tKo Mr. Coach have your team phy sically able, see that their equip ment is able to meet the streu ous tests it is put to, and above all have your playing field in prop er condition. A gridiron studded with bumps and rocks is not the most ideal place to be tackled upon. Have your players examined before and after each game and have all injuries, no matter how slight, looked after by a competent offi cial. Let us make football less haz ardous and as safe as our other national pastimes. Boxing Notes With such competent journey men as Pedro Montanez, Lou Am bers, Wesley Ramey, and Davey Day angling for a shot at his crown, Lightweight Champion Tony Canzon eri seems to be giving the boys somewhat of a run around by en gaging in fights with round-heeled second raters instead of one of the above mentioned logical candi dates for a title bout . . .

Mickey Walker, former light-heavy king, is now running a bar and grill in New York . . , Leo Lomski, Michigan Wildcat and former terror of the welters, is plannnig a comeback . . . Phil Bru baker, coast heavy, has won 20 of the 21 bouts he has engaged in . . Leroy Haines, recent conquerer of Primo Camera, may be matched with Max Baer, erstwhile heavyweight champion . . .

Many accusations are justly made. But do not fight a life-saving pro gram because some greedy farmers padded their statements at the- ex pense of the honest fellow, and some county communis'.J ß boosted theirs and their friend# figures at the ex pense of others. Do you feel lilej you will get revenge on the crook*" by fighting a program that our of ficials are behind from the Presi dent down to county agentt Any farmer who fails to cooperate will get the punishment. The AAA show ed us what co-operation would do • for the farmer, if it were not for selfishness and greed we could work out our salvation. But because of selfishness and greed, I fear it will be damnation. Som e say they cannot pay expense with so small an allot ment. Tell me, can you pay expense with all your farm planted in to bacco and it selling below cost of' production! This will happen with overproduction. Whom can we blame when we know the effect of supply and demandf Let us co-operate and go at the root of our injustice instead of re fusing a blessing when it is handed out. I am myself a small farmer and know his problems. E. C. HARBISON Williamston. ■■ o i A TERRIBLE LIFE Hoquiam.
