THR SEABOARD WEST. When President Davies R. War field made an inspection tour over a division of the Seaboard and has with him other high up officials, this is some indication to our mind that something of u very im portant nature is at least under consideration. When President Warfield came up over this divis ion of the Seaboard this week in Ms private train and made an in spection tour through the Chimney Rock section we are convinced that ho and the other officials are about to confirm th«*report pub lished in The Star during the sum mer that Rutherfordton might ho connected by rail with Henderson ville, It would cerlirniy benefit the Seaboard to have this connection and in all probability give this di vision of the Seaboard better pas senger train service which is sadly needed. We trust this is what President Warfield’s inspection trip means and shall await with inter est any announcement bearing on the subject. The information cannot be with held by officials until grading starts because the railroad must first secure permission of the ir ter state commerce commission tv*. Washington and when application 1m made, If fb is made at ail, we know what to expect. WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE. In the last issue of The Star appeared prise winning e*> written by school pupils on necessity of voiing and every young and old, male and g, in Cleveland county should back and read these essays, if I have not already done so. It is only a privilege but a duty we owe to our nation in this to exercise the right of at each and every elec if we constantly fail to , this, the government is headed down grade. people vote and have in - at ail times, a clean and set of officers, our gov irtprove* -ant) unless we we have no right to criti Coruplain at laws and law sat. Less than fifty per the qualified voters ir, a?j voting today. Inter polities seems to b« waning sorry to see. It we think jates will be elected ; our vote, we might wake r to find that we have of our government. • Too many other voters are neglect - j ing their duty and it i^ a bad poi ! icy for us to get in the same habu. j There will be another election I November 2nd. The nominees have ^ been chosen. Let nothing deter i you from going to the polls on that day ami exercising your solemn duty as a citizen. MORE DEADLY TITAN WAK. The death toll front automobile I accidents is larger than the death ! .oil oi’ American soldiers in the j World war yet we accept the au to’s casualties with an indifference | that i.; appalling. When there is a ! heavy death toll in one disaster | like that of a mine or a hurricane, the people are shocked, saddened and horrified, but the death toll from automobile accidents coming n fe wevery day. no particular at tention or concern is given unle-s the victims happen to be close to ; us with bonds of kinship or frierd ! ship. Figures from To cities dur j ing the first M week:- of the year ! shew the shocking manner in ! "’hioh our people arc Doing slaugh ; tered by the motor vehicle. During ' these ."!() weeks in the 7G cities there hnr. boon an average of move than Hi deaths a day, which is equiva lent to an rtinii.il death rate of 18.!• for every 100.000 persons. Au tomobiles are m t in be blamed for this. The auto is an indispensable part of American economic life. The h la pie lie: tit the door of the icckl'.sc, or car. loss driver and the speed demon. Wo uiv'not . otisfied with a vaasrnjiblo rate of speed. We nil hurry to get ,.> a conven ient loafing place. Some day there will be a cot - certi d effort to stop this great loss of lives, .hv t how it can be done is the question thoi remains to fce solved, but it should be the para mount problem of our govotiimer- j tal agencies. TOO Ml ( H FOOTBALL. Football is a fino sport and should ho rncounfH in every school, but should rover he envphn r.iaed over scientific studios, There is much danger of it, to •(:miner a menace ,o our education. Dent-unc ihgr lh,‘ emphasis that is being placed on football, the Asheville Oitit’.en delivers itself of this ring ing editorial: “And is not this too many fo.’ r.ir? college to Have.? Unless in deed. it intends ,,o magnify foot ball above any. othe r course of in struction. And is not this exactly wlmt most of the colleges are do ing? livery thine: gives way to fo<vtball-~tho varsity players pro excused from class or lectures whenever a bipr panic calls, and in training, hook study given way to loam practice.

How do those not vi> irnully capable keep up with those who stay steady on the job? In side infornwiior at college furn ishes the ready answer—they PONT.

In he University, for example, are there seven professors, academic ‘coaches’, engaged in rometing the •Indy of the Englisn language? Is there one who specializes on spell ing, arother who tsains in the ori gin of words, another whose spec ielty is verse, and another who .show,; the fine points in a good business letter? No, of course not - at best there arc two such coach* “Rut we are presently objecting to this cver-coaching as taking football out of the amateur classi fication. It makes football not a rt creation, an exercise, a whole some medium of expression for col lege spiiit, lint a work in which winning is the sole objective. A horde of coaches paid to win— fired if they don’t produce winning teams.—are not apt to hesitate in advising unsportsmanlike methods. Mutual agreement among the col leges should eliminate about two thirds of the football coaches. “The virus spreads. Charlotte h>f*.h school has two football coach es.
