' penny that goes into the coffers of public revenue. As government may requisition -the lives of its citizens, so too it can requisition their fortunes for the pub lic services. Taxes can only be justi fied when they are levied for useful and necessary objects of government, and applied economically and wisely to such purposes. . Unless these eon ditions are fulfilled, taxation degrades into a state of virtual robbery under the guise of law. "The power to tax is the power to destroy," and as such it is one of the (most pervading powers of the govern, ment, because jt reaches all classes of people. Our only safeguard against the abuse of this power lies in the structure of our government. President : Coolidge has said: "A government which lays taxes on peo ple not required by Urgent necessity and sound public policy is not & pro tector of liberty, but an instrument of tyranny." Government most not forget that the people, have a right to their property and ioVthe money Which; the wmp'. "Did your "grandfather 'lire toTa green, old. age?" . M, ?, . V I should say so!

WALNUT BASKET BALL TEAMS On Tuesday of this week the Wal nut basketball teams, both girls and ritrysT-journeyed to Beech Glen. The trip had been planned so long and interfered with by bad weather '.hit when Tuesday turned out to be a fine day they took a chance and went without waiting to hear from their op ponents. Unfortunately Beech Glen had im portant games with Mars Hill for both girls and boys scheduled for that night, and could not be expected to take the edge off their teams by play ing Walnut in the afternoon. How ever, the principal, Mr. James, and the boys' coach, rather than disap point Walnut entirely, very courte ously offered to play practice games with Walnut, using first team play ers' only a part of the time, but sav ing them for the match games at night. ,, This was done and resulted in two very enjoyable basketball games. The Walnut girls won their game by, the score of 11-6. They were very much pleased, but of course cannot count it as a victory over the Beech Glen first team as the first team play ers were Rot in all the time. The IWalnut boys lost to Ute Beech Glen. boys by the-score of 5-14. . The Walnut players speak in the highest terms of appreciation of the fine courtesy and the high grade of sportsmanship which they have al ways experienced from both the faculty and the students of Beech Glen. It is a great pleasure to have athletic relations with such worthy opponents. . There will be a Parents' Day next Wednesday at the Walnut School I from one until three o'clock. All reats are asked to visit the school on this day. School busses will run from Dry Branch, Barnard, and Wal nut Gap at 12:30 to accomodate the mothers of that district to come.

According to estimates just made, it is said that oyer $16,000,000,000 a year is now loa U this country through crime and ajt we have a criminal population, vpj jail and out, of some 2,000,00ft peo ple. Over 400,000 police and guards are employed to keep watch over the criminals and to try to prevent crime. Over $3,500,000,000 worth .of, pro perty was stolen last year, and. the murders in America run to about ,12, 500 a year, far more than in any oth er civilized nation on earth. Crime is usually thought of as simply a mat ter of morals, but it is also am eco nomic problem, of the" first, magnitude.- Crime . Is exceeding!' .costly at urav von'loolf at K- T'l -.-H President E. Y. Mullins, in Commencement Sermon before Baylor University Editorial Note: The 1927 Com mencement Sermon at Baylor Uni versity, in Texas, was preached by President E. Y. Mullins from the text Hebrews 2 :8 : "Thou hast put all things in sub jection under Him He left nothing that is not put under Him, but now we see, not yet all things put under Him, hut we see Jesus was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God should tate death for every man." The following is an ex tended excerpt from the sermon: If you could take that eagle up there in the air and pin him down to earth and hypnotize him to believe that he is an earthworm, and succeed with your hypnotism and make him believe he is an earthworm, with all his spread of wings and with all his marvelous shape of body, with all his keenness of vision, with all his adap tion to soar in the realms in the heav ens above, he would never, never a- gain spread his wings or rise above the earth. And if you , take the young eagles, cf our universities and colleges and. hypnotize them by a false philo sophy, into believing mat tney-exe earthworms, they will never fly. If you cramp, the greatness that la in the human soul by a false philosophy Of We there will never be any great- , ness in that life. I have looked at a squirrel in the rotating cage, poor thing. Round and round and round he goes, an en ormous amount of energy with nc progress. I have looked and faid "poor squirrel, poor squirrel, in your imagination there are the wide spaces, the wide trees of the forest, the great open places where God meant you tO go, and man has put you in a little wire cage, and you must rotate a- round and round and around. Little squirrel, if you only knew how. yon, too, would commit suicide." I think he would. The only thinp: is he does not know how. Man fails, and fails utterly when he is put into the dimensions of a phi losophy too narrow for his soul. Yes, yes, youth is the time of faith and dreams and shimmering visions and then is nothing that c...: over call forth the keenest possibilities save the ideal of a great life based upon at tainment, righteousness, a life spent under the eye and in the strength of God. Another thing that has caused matt to fail has been his effort to grapple with sin and death in his own strength What is sin? Well, I might get int theology if I talk much about what it is. But I will give you a- practical il lustration of what it is. In a town where I once lived was a young man who was a slave to stronk drink, inherited from his fath er. He was a man who had served term in the penitentiary, came back, and tried to reform and failed. He was a pathetic figure, a genius in a way, highly educated with all th pos sibilities of life, but be went down,, down, down, and came at last to th"' end of a blighted and ruined life. -The story is told; I read it in the local paper, that one day he was standing it was in the days of the old epers saloon standing on the side of tli street before the open show window of an open saloon in; which there was many decanters and, bottles of red Bq(tax..'He stood therfand'Bamelpne overneara a soliloquy as ae topxea into the depths of that red liquor- He said half aloud, "I see there the pane-' rama of my life. A happy and beau tiful childhood, and then I see a storm arise. My father comes in and strikes my mother while he is drunk.. Clouds gather. I see an open grave, and ray father is lowered into it. In the midst of the ceremony my mother presses my arm as the body is lowered' into the grave and says, 'I pray God that you will be delivered from that.' I ee another picture as I look. I see ail open grave in which my mother's body is lowered. I remember her prayer and here I stand today a vic tim of the same appetites, the same hereditary tendency. I ask God if there is any hope for me." Some on overheard that and reproduced it in the local paper, not giving the name but the community knew who it was. If I ask any physician of the bidy what was wrong with that young man. you will answer that it was a com bination of heredity and habit, per haps an inherited tendency toward strong drink. Indulging be became a victim. If I ask a psychologist, he would probably tell me the lame thing. The physician of the body and the physician of the soul. Well, that is what sin is a combination of heredity and habit, and it is a chain which only God's grace can break. And if a man wrestles with it by himself he will fail. But if he wres tles with it in the strength that God ; alone can give, he will succeed. O, men say today, "I am not con cerned about death. I am living this . life. What have I to do with another , life?" Well, when I hear a man say , that, I don't care how educated he is, v -I don't care how highbrow his atti tude may be, when I hear a man ssy ' "I have no concern with the next lifer 1 but only with this life?' I say at one he is only partly human. He is lacking ,: in a fundamental human instinct and . -, trait. He never lost a brother, he nev- , er lost a mother or a father, he never lost a sister or a wife or a friend. He - has never looked into the face of on who has been laid low by death that was dear to him and been able to say. I have no concern for the life to come. He is lacking in an essential human trait. The man who says that he is gging to .wall himself off and isolate himself in this life with nov reference to another . life is lacking in an essential human trait, for who knows what is in that life t And wh has solved the ordeal but ChristT Western Recorder."- - '
