' The Sports Program The tentative program outlined at the baseball fenass meeting held In the chamber of commerce j rooms last night sounds the keynote of an athletic i&wakening for which Wilmington has watched and rwaited for years. An athletic field, suited to year round sports, a professional baseball team and at kractidns to induce big league outfits to train here, 'has been one of the dreams of Wilmington sport lovers for a decade or more. The fact that it is now near realization seems too good to be true. But it v;ill be realized if the proper push is be hind ir. There' is no reason under the sun wny a :ity of 35,000 people, eighty per cent of whom are iyed-in-the-wool baseball fans should be deprived of the national game. There is no reason vhy Wilmington, with its ideal climatic conditions, cannot bid for' the honor of entertaining the maior league teams on their annual training jaunts. The advertising and publicity the city would receive as the training camp of a big league team would be worth infinitely more than the cost of entertain ing the team during its sojourn here, even if the city had to bear the expense. And baseball all summer. Zowie! What a change from the dull, bleak, sultry afternoons in summers of yore! Sitting out in the bleachers, with a nnn bottla In nn hand and a asr at npnrmtn - i - , . ' in the other, listening to the melodious crack of bat against ball, heat is forgotten, business cares . float away to a distant-zone and nothing in the world matters save the home team's chance to cop : the bunting. We are confident the sport lovers of Wilmington wjll not lose the present opportunity to make their dream come true. o The Right to Be Ignorant News comes from Washington that North Caro lina's senators have been deluged with telegrams in opposition to the Prhtthrowfrer bill (o 'the creation of a national, department of education. Most of the protests, which came from ttis neigh borhood of Charlotte, says the Charlotte Observer, based their opposition on the ground's that "this measure would result in the usurpation of state's rights' OX- w-Ku?-' ':f: T ; ?rv We have never conceived "state's rights" to i in u me iis"- vi u, outi iu iioiu us people in tne bondage of ignorance. The individual is denied the right to Interfere with the life; liberty..? and happiness of others. Why should we allow a state the privilege of fostering a principle which would lower the standards of all other states? So far, qur response to .the demands of educationTiave fallen far below the need ot society, and ws fail to see how the expenditure of 1100,000,000 for schools, an expenditure controlled by the educators of the states involved, can be a menace to a demo cratic government. - '- . , r, 1 , . .. A representative democracy based iipon-an ilHt ferate people can not survive as. ft true republic. "We sent to France thousands of1 men, -native born of native stock, who could not read tlie Constitu tion of the United States; could not Jrad!: thev names on a ballot; could not even sign their names to the payrolls of the country they were serving. It was not their fault; it was the fault of an atti tude toward government which interprets freedom ( and individuality as the right to do as one pleases Those men fought, and' died, unJuestiohihg, bt that is not the ideal of a democratic state. The nations ot Europe might well have pointed at the Bhame of a nation which, setting forth to make the world safe for democracy, had soldiers in the ranks who had been summoned by a draft ques tionnaire whose questions they could not read and whose answers they could not write. , Compulsory school laws and child labor legisla tion met the same kind of opposition: the sacred right of the parent to decide the future of his child should not be tampered with, no matter if it mean Irremediable loss to the state. In North Carolina we have changed face on that to a great extent, yet opposition to a bill, one of whose measures pro vides S7.600.000 for the Instruction of illiterates Over ten years ot age, hinges on the objection to a demand by the national government for a certain standard in school work. Thla standard, as stated by the proposed law, would be: . x I (a) A legal school term of at least twentv. !j (our weeks in each year for the benefit of 2 j children of school age in the state i (b) A compulsory school attendance law r. ) luiring all children between inHges orsVen , md fourteen to attend some whopl for at lVast iwenty-f our weeks in each year ' (c) A la-vr requiring that the English Ian j. guage shall be the basic language if instruct tion in the common schQol branches in iu . schools, publi and prlvatfe,:.

I o the smaller, unit. which It pleased God to placa him, and has merited the "well done" of those who have known him. I am glad to express- my appreciation of his char acter and serviced" - WALKEB--TAIi. Morrison and the Knights" When Cameron Morrison assumed the office of Governor he ' declared in language of impressive vigor for the most scrupulous enforcement of the State's laws. We are much gratified, though not at alk surprised, to learn now. that he has no in tention of delegating any degree or department of the enforcement job to un-sworn volunteers acting through a secret society. The announcement f r?m Raeigh of the Governor's unqualified . opposition to the so-called "Knights of the Ku Kiux Kwi" will serve to fortify the popular confidence in his original declaration. ; The history of the first and only Ku Klui Klan should be considered as bearing no relation to the problem presented by the" mis-named brain child of one Colonel Simmons otherwise known as the Imperial Wizard or something to that effect, "The Governor." we read, "is rtadv to concede the high service rendered by the Ku Klux Klan' in the . dark days of Reconstruction." The concession is one that fair-minded students of history have gen erally made. The Governor has taken, in respect of this issue, the only position consistent with his intelligence and high principles in holding that the present organization of "Klansmen" can not claim any safe or proper sphere oTactlvity in North Carolina as an agency for law-enforcement Its individual members, if any there be, ' are charged with the same duties and responsibilities under the law that rest upon every citizen of the State. To Sav that, aa an Cirtra TiivaA crwtim than may assert a right to any peculiar field, of quasi official service is a manifest absurdity. Governor Morrison is said to have under con sideration a measure designed to prevent the op eration of the "K!aja",Jn this SfciteWe believe pwya wueu woiiiq use to nave tne law passed, if only as a formal record of the State's position. But whether it is passed or not, we are convinced that the Governor will find ample means for the protection. si the State against this menace. Spokesmen for the "KIan" tell in high-sounding phrases of its lofty purposes, its dedication to law and order. The dynamite used in the construction of anarchists' bombs may be said, in certain Cases, to have been manufactured for the peaceful use of stump blasting. Its effectiveness as a weapon of illegal violence is not thereby made less. What ever the "Klansmen" stand for, in their own minds, only a fool will say that they stand, in fact and practice, for anything but the Otter disruption of our social organization. The Juvenile Court I will tell you what I think of the juvenile court. I think it is the biggest farce that has ever been created by man or God. Thus Senator Burgwin of Northampton County. We are afraid that there are more things In heaven and earth than are dreamt of in the Sen ator's philosophy. He admits the poverty of the people whom he represents. If he be truly Ihe spokesman of their wishes, they must be as poor in spiritual, as they are in material, things. Mr. Burgwin's denunciation clearly warrants the conclusion that he knows nothing about t juvenile court. He has probably seen attempt!, under the difficult conditions which prevail in his county, a work which has jist been begun in North Carolina, which has not yet had-time in which to find itself. He has probably seen an untrained and grudging superior court clerk going through the motions of acting as a Juvenile 'court Judge. He is charging up against the juvenile court the state's long failure to establish a system for keep ing children from being ground through the crim ..inal courts. He demands ot an institution which has Just come to life the same efficiency which he thinks he sees in other tribunals. He attacks a principle which has been immeasurably beneficial throughout the pountry, because it has not prcved fruitful in his county. If he had. said that the' Juvenile court has not worked well in Northampton there would have been regret but no occasion for demurring. Bqt when helndulges in a wild assault upon the idea of the Juvenile court, be reveal? himself as a-benighted provincial. Criticism of the manner in which the Juvenile court has been made onerative in th t.t bf.jW-foude1- In the effort to make the system necessary to superimpose it upon unready, unresponsive communities and officials. iTh ?;eosequence is seen in the sllpshodness with which some of our Juvenile court .nth,, il?&8& ln tne hostility ..which has been bred; Till A la ILL m W uuum mis is an entirely different thing from falling to recognize the significance anl necessity of the Juvenile court principle. Ydu can not transform and make recorders and superior court clerks into Juvenile court Judges in' the course;, of a year or two, If it is ever to be done. But you can cling to the ideal of giving the chil dren a square deal, of reg-ardlng the children who break laws and the children who suffer from neg lect as the wards of the state, deserving and re celving the tenderness apd the protection of the great commonwealth.

S. Sloan is right, we th.ink, in what he said i Woods and Waters in The News 4nd- Courier yes terday .regarding the proposed bill- to declare f fiYe-year closed season on deer. -It Is undbubtedlt true that such a law. If it were enforced, would lead to so great an increase of deer in the coast counties as to make the animals a serious nuisance to the farmers of this region. It is true, also, that an ironclad law prohibiting the killing ot does for five'years would lead to a sufficiently large In crease of the deer in the Low Country as to cause them to extend their range " further and further oyer those portions of the State from which they have been driven. This latter-tfce restocking of the middle "and upper counties: with deer is, as we understand it, the object othe proposed law declaring a five year closed season on all deer. Not only would the same object' be secured In time by a fife-year closed season" on does, but the latter plan would avoid certain lamentable results, in addition to those pointed out by Game Warden Sloan, which would be certain to flow from an attempt to prohibit alto gether the shooting of deer. : r TJie protection and increase of the deer in tbi coast country are due mainly to the interest and the efforts of the sportsmen" of the eoast,-acting ih many cases through the-hunting"cluWButf6)-the efforts of these men, there would now be verr few deer even in the coast region. It would be unfair to them to deprive them altogether, for a ftveryear period, of the fruits of their efforts to preserve the deer, and should this be done, it is likely that the sympathies of many of them would be turned against the cause of game protection, so that they would cease to be the exceedingly help ful factor that they have been for years. This is, as a practical matter, one of the most potent of the reasons why the proposed five-year closed season; on all deer would do more harm than good. SENATOR JOHNSON SHOOTS TOO SOON New York Evening Post: In return for the courtesy shown Mm by the State Department jn keeping him informed o,f the progress of the nego tiations wjth Japan, Senator Johnson has issued . a statement which misrepresents one of the cardinal features of the proposed agreement and violently assails the whole treaty in advance. The Senator from California attacks the agreement partly because it ''will in effect abrogate and de stroy the alien land laws of the State of Cali fornia." This will be, news to the negotiators. What Japan really asks is not the repeal of those laws but their extension to all aliens. Senator Johnson must have known this. Consequently he is arguing that the extension of the Alien Land laws will amount to their repeal. The argument is not impressive.' Senator Johnson is hardly more effective in his characterization of the regulations against Jap anese Immigration as constituting "a so-called gentlemen's agreement which does not exclude." He asserts that this is why . Japan prefers a "gentlemen's agreement" to a treaty. Such a charge implies bad faith on the part of Japan, for by the "gentlemen's agreement" Japan undertakes to do all that she would be required to do under a treaty. But if there is to be bad faith, how much better off would California be under a treaty than under a "gentlemen's agreement?" If under the present arrangement there is smuggling 'of Jap anese into California with or without the con nivance of Tokio, what is there to stop it under a treaty? We do not beleve that the attitude manifested by Senator Johnson's statement represents the sober second thought of California. Even the Alien Land Law was carried In November by a much smaller majority than1 had confidently been expected, and hundreds of thousands of voters did not vote on it at all. The course of the Japanese Government In the entire matter has won the ap probation of those Americans' -witt) have known most about the working of the arrangement. There is simply no reason whatever fv suspecting the good faith of Japan in this matter, and for a mem her of the Senate to cast suspicion upon it in this connection is to show his unfitness to speak upon the question. THE REVIVAL JN BUJLpING Charlotte Neibs: One :ot the JirsV revivals that should attend the returning of prosperity applies to the building industry. It is hard to understand why the symptoms of a renaissance in this line of activity, are r not already discernible. When Two contemplate that there has been more or less ile ness and stagnation in this industry for the past five years that the shortage of homes and busi ness buildings has become alarmingly acute, it? 1 past finding out how this 'particular business eaa remaio comatose.: t ; i Buildlngs can ?be erected how at . far less cpst than was the case a year ago. Materials are lower by as much as 30 or 40 per cent, perhaps, and labor Is more easily acquired. There seems to have beeii prolonged inactivity in this line that commodfty prices have struck bottom and that with the ro. vival .which is bound to . come, there will be th4 prospect oi mguer . prices ror lumber and othe? building essentials. Like cotton and some otbr things, lumber has fallen disproportionate to the decline in other commodities and here the reac tion has been so great, the chances , are that he upturn will be pitched on the same ratio, which would certainly, argue tha p'rices for these ma- terials that enter lnt thebuilding equation are as attractive now as they are likely to be. Evi dently,, it is the prevalent uncertain tv B.R that rtntnt Which continues to make canital timid n th hntiH. ing venture. There are factors in the industry which Aaattrt a haHat In and they expect to wait, perhaps, to see If it will noi De possiDie a ntue later to build more cheapp than now.

This is the "wiser way" it believes, while the bill, the Dispateh declares, "is evidence of the bankruptcy of Congress in' courage nd intelligence" and seems ?to indi cate that, the country is "driftlnsr into a bureaucratic receivership."

The New- York Tribune (Reb.) considers Gazette (Deni in "discussine the noiiti cal phase pf (She question refers to the fact that "Senator' New, of Indiana, voted with the packers and against the bill" .The Allianv Are-ns fTnrt4 Dem.l while it makes nlan that It a'h. lives that the development of thepacli.i:i ing industry nas been a public benefit" it concludes that: '"- "In view of the unpleasant position which the - packers have held inthe public eyes these past few years, tftey ought to invite rather than oppose thq law that is now upon Jts passage In Washington,'! , The feeling is "widely held" that the appointment pf a commission for which the tuiv provides is " a, further intrusion of the government" in private affairs, the Buffalo Commercial (Ind.) believes, and while the creation of "such a pow erful bureaucracy' may not bother the packers, "it; js a delegation of power over private enterprise - not to be l,?htly regarded." It is ."in principle" that many others protest the bili. Says the Baltimore Sun (Ind. Dem.) "When the Senate voted in favor of the Kendrick-Kenyon packer bill, it was only expanding and confirming the Wilsonian policy as laid down even year ago bat in doirfy this" it was again revealing an inlability a3 regards fundamental conviction and principle that make : the direction of econouiio policy in the United States an almost hopeless task." In defending this same argument "tie Worcester Gazette (Ind.) grants that the packers, "like all other promoters bf bijr business" are ruilty of inany sins" and notes the risk' Involved for a newspaper which defends them, but it adds: - "Whether we like the packers or de test theift-anyone ensagred Jn a business great or siman or, anyone who hopes to engage in pusrness: should rise I in protest against this policy f making everybody walk along a chalk line drawn ' a Government Commission wn,ch.:."WllI seek to make its pattern suit political contingencies far more often than it will try to accommodate the public, weal."

"The House PUg-hl.. ,Jto permit the bill to die" it concludes, for "the Senate did not really mean it anyway" and the Sena tors were jmply "passinz the buck." . A number of writers apparently feel that the pbjections tp Government in terference overbalance the good which they grant misrht possibly be accom plished in the specific case of the pack ers. The, Richmond News Leader (Ind. Dem.) for instance, while admitting that legislation wbieh would reduce prices to the consumer and increase re turns for the cattle, raiser would be "most helpful," doubts "patent-made devices to lower the cpst of living" while the Utica Observer (Dem,) feels that it "would be a mistake for the Government to interfere with the pack ing industry to anv extent that would hamper its efficiency. A few voices are raised in support of the measure but even these with qualifications. The Buffalo Express (Ind. Rep:) thinks that "if a special watch r is ' enuirerl on" the nackpvs ' probably the plan adopted by the Senate. "is as good as could be de vised," and the Richmond "Times-Dispatch (Dem.) calls the "bill "a long etep in the direction of Government control of a big-industry,, and its effect upon the interests affected will be watched hopefully." The Dispatch, however, does not fail to announce as a postscript, "not without misgivings." It would not "seem amiss," the Nash ville Xennesean (Ind. Dem.) believes, that, the packers "have reasonable' Fed eral supervision." "but Just now It cloesn't appear that the packers are the cause of most of thetrouble ffom which the meat jcqnsumerS of the. coun try complain," and ' that'1 trouble! it thinks, would not be removed by the lBipenqing law HARDING PARTY HOP -wean TO ARRIVEBYMONDAy Reach , St. Augustine Fir -Month of February rAUf BEACH, Fis a.. p,k . a five-hour stop at Palm Beach dent-elect Harding houv"' rr- ioria neaaea us th tj..
