The connection between the famous "monkey trial" at
, Dayton, Tenn., and the present monkcyshines against King
George and books that are said to glorify England to the ex
pense of our colonist forefathers, is not so remote. Maybe,
alter all, both stand for the same thing. There is a spark
in us that rebels at Darwinism. Coldly to call our ancient
Aunt Emmas really simians, and to refer to the men of the
Revolution as a bunch of rebellious farmers who were en
tirely wrong, awakens resentment. Men, in the last an
alysis, like to think they come
unflinching science has to say
at Dayton and Chicago are profound. The affair at Dayton
was more than a comedy. Rather it might be called an ex
pression of man's own high interest in his pride of origin
To be traced back to the chattering cocoanut throwers doesn't
jibe with whatever ideas of nobility we have acquired of
ourselves. So is the affair at Chicago more than a mere
. twisting of the tail of his majesty's fine lion. It is a revolt
' against research which claims that those brave hearts of
'. the Boston tea party were only vandals and that "our fath
ers" were a pack of illiterate, money-grubbing, aleguzzling
mal-patriols. A descendant of monkeys? With ancestors
such as latter-day historians would saddle upon us? We
don't believe a word .of it I . , ,

A college education is essential if the boy wishes to be
come a doctor, lawyer'or engineer, but in all cases he must
have not only the wish but Ahe will to study, according to
Father Fox, president of Marquette University. In a re
cent address Father Fox estimated that of the 600,000 young
men now in college, it would have been better in nearly 100,
000 cases if they had never gone; Colleges exist to train the
mind by exercising it in study, he said, but much of the present-day
rush to colleges merely is a result of young men's
and young women's preference for the society of oilier young
men and young women to. that, of their elders. "We guaran
tee satisfaction," Father Fox said, ''or we return the boy.
In every case we mean' it is the boy who must provide the
satisfaction." There 'is: a thought for parents' whose. sons
arc in college or about to go, ( Is the bpy ready to provide
satisfaction?

A recent report of the Bureau of Internal Revenue in
dicated that 117,000,000 persons in the country had a total
income of nearly $90,000,000,000 in 192(i. These figures
mean something. The report shows an increase of about
$27,000,000,000 in income since . 1921 more than 43 per
cent. A total of $(i2,000,000,000 income was recorded in
1921. This increased $3,000,000,000 in 1922, went up
57,000,000,000 more in 1923, and so on to 192G when ex
actly $89,082,000,000 was earned. The figures show that to
day the national wealth of the United States must be slightly
above $500,000,000,000. That's half a trillion. Count it be

Football Championship of

NARROWING DOWN
Two Teams Have Substan
tial Claim to Honors, Say
Critics Yale Disputes
Pitt's Prowess.
By ALAN J. HOULD
(Associated 1'russ Sporta KUitor)
; (AMticuted I'rcM Lvuwtl Wire)
NEW YOKK, Nov. 2S. The cli
mux of colk'go football's spectacu
lar season, now awaiting only the
final returns from a few sectors of
the south and fur wost, leaves the
national championship situation
still undecided but with the race
narrowed down, in the opinion of
most unbiased observers, to a con
test between the bulldogs of Geor
gia and the Panthers of Pitts
burgh, Tlieso two have their rivals and
challengers for sectional as well
as national honors but few critics
question that, for tho present at
least, they have a substantial
claim as any outfit to tho maiu
laurel wreaths. i .
Tlfo titlo hopes of caeh now are
centered about forthcoming ' en
gagements that j will determine
theln final rating." Georgia, with
nine successive victories to Us
credit and Yule, among its victims,
plays Georgia Tech In tho classic
of thu south at Atlanta this Satur
day. Pittsburgh, trl.umiihunt in
eight games and tied .only by
Washington auu Jeliers'ou, jour
neys to the Far West for the Tour
nament of Itoscs .game on January
i with Lelund , Stanford, one of
the1 contenders for tho , Pacific
Coast Conference crown.
Tho outcome of these battles
may not end the dispute but they
at least will help to cleur tlio title
atmosphere. f
There are at lea3t a half dozen
other, teams whose records cannot
be overlooked when the final nU
lug Is posted, even though UiuU'
achievements may not nuile match
those of Geoiglu and Pittsburgh.
Yale men dispute Pittsburgh's
claim to the eastern peak hut
Yale's defeat by Georgia eliminat
ed .1 from the national picture.
Washington and Jefferson would
havu remained at Pill's side but
for another tie with West Virginia
on tho same day that the Panthers
were crushing Penn Stato.
Illinois, champions of the West
ern Conference, experienced only
a tie with Iowa State. Likewise
the powerful Texas Aggies, title
holders iu the southwestern con
ference, eiime throu :h the season
w-ilh a slalo marred only by a
scoreless deadlock with Texas
Christian University. Tennessee
was lied once by Vanderhllt after
keeping pace most, of the season
with Georgia. Minnesota's jugger
naut was also unoeaien but was
lied twice, by Indiana and Notre
Dame.
Notre Dame's warriors set out
menacingly along the national
championship highway hut after
bumping Into Minnesota, Koeknes
ramblers wore blown out of the
the picture by the Army's big
guns. Not even such notable tri
umphs as those over Navy, Geor
gia Tech am, Southern California
could put Notre Dame back iu po
sition to dispute the national title.
Ilesldes Its rivalry for title hon
ors, the II127 season left n trail of
upsets, marked by the overthrow
of champions In nearly every con
ference and section, as well as
new high marks In attendance and
receipts.
Kigurcs gathered from all parts
or the country indicate that the
aggregate attendance was between I

.Many republicans, and democrats,
loo, are wet, but they won t Bay
much about it at election time.
many of these items intelligently
uiui make recommendations to this
body. This year a number of un
looked for occurrences have cur
tailed our erforts.
There are two items which we
have given careful study, and we
hope this body will give us their
vigorous support:
The method by which tho vari
ous road districts In the county
are conducted is meeting with
great, disappointment. While some
uf these overseers are competent
men, many are not. Much incompe
tency and partiality is , frequent
ly found. Practically none of them
have suiiiciem machinery to do
their work economically and effi
ciently, it is safe to state that a
large majority of the road dis
tricts are paying far more than
necessary for tho results obtained.
We believe this county should
have from six to ten large road
outfits with mooorn machinery
aud Competent men, which may be
secured. Such outfits could attend
to the work for six to ten of the
various road districts. Ave Mm i
think it would be advisable to con
solidate these various road dis
tricts into one, but permit each
district to receive their propor
tion of road funds as now, and, if
they chooso, vote special tax.
Tho various construction crews
with ' their modern equipments
would be far more efficient than
tho present plan. Wo believe 40
per cent would be saved the ma
jority of the road districts. In
other words almost double the
amount of work secured for the
dame money. . ;
We aru aware that some rdftd;
oversecra and numerous parties ip'
every road district will oppose this
method, because they are looking
forward to the' labor they will
probably secure. In altogether too
many instances word has come in
from the various road districts
that an extra roal tax has been
voted simply because the parties
who hope to secure work were per
sonally interested in so voting.
It is very evident that a great
many taxpayers are ' arriving at
the point where they will oppose
any lurther special taxes until a
more efficient system is worked
out. '
We hope this body will not pass
this over lightly. The road ques
tion should hn of vital importance
to us all. 11 we could save from 2ft
to 60 per cent, better roads and
less taxes would result.
Orchard Fund Needed
The second item is pertaining to
the late Horticultural Law. Under
the present law orchards may be
condemned, destroyed, and the ex
pense charged up to the property.
No foreclosure, or any complicated
trouble need be involved. The ex
pense Is simply charged up as a
tax. Tho Horticultural Inspector
has police powers aud. ample au,
thorliy. He does not require, how-!
over, a working fund to pay for
labor. Sometimes this money!
comes back readily, but frequently!
the work is on property on the do-!
linquent tax list and returns slow
ly. Such a fund Is known as a re
volving fund. There is such a fund
In this county, but It Is entirely in
adequate. Such a fund costs the
county not h big unless you count
the Interest which it does not
draw.
The horticultural interests of
Douglas ('ounty have assumed
targe proportions, and will doubt
less expand. We all know that old
and neglected orchards, many
owned by non-residents, aro found
In nearly every district, and are a
menace. Furthermore, they are an
eyesore, and causing much unfav
orable comment by our visitors,
am! prospective purchasers.
This item tdiould be of especial
ilitvrest to the various booster
clubs in the county. We believe
that their work Is largely offset
by this lark of cleaning up.
If many of these disgraceful old
orchards were destroyed, tho land
would be utilized to better advant
age. We have ah inspector to at
tend to this work aud all wu tcsk Is
a hi ode st amount as a loan only to
clean up these sources of infec
tion, and the repulsive appearance.
Wo are aware tho Court has
mnny vcxin questions to grapple
with, nevertheless our fruit grow
ers are entitled to protection, and
our district to r better appearance.
We believe this body should ai
poiut a committee, who will take
this matter up with the Court and
insist the law be enforced, ard the
fruit growers protected.

"So, now you're good,", wee
Clowny said. And then he shook
his little head, "i have my doubts,
but even so, I hope that you are
right. If falling in that little
stream's- to blame I'm glad. It's
like a dream.'' And then a Buddy
answered, "es, we're good when
we are white.
"That water washed the black
from us and now not one of us will
fuss, no matter what may hap
pen. We will all be very gay.
That's something we can prove to
you. Just tell us what you'd like
to do, and we will gladly join you
whether it is work or play."
This- puzzled Clowny for a Bpell.
and then the Buddies heard him
yell, "Let's take your wagon from
the stream before it breaks in two.
'Twill come in bandy, now and
then. You all may waut to ride
again" The Buddies cheered, uud
said this was the proper thing to
do.
Down to the stream they gaily
went, and 'bout a half an iwur was
spent before they got the wagon
out, and safely on tue .shore.
They had to work with all' uieir
might. Some rocks had held the
wheels real tight. Poor Clowny
tugged away so hard it made his
muscles sore.
They all sat down to rest a
while. One Buddy then begun to
smile. "I'll tell you what we'll
do," he said. "It's Clowny's turn
to ride. We'll pull him in the wag
on far, to whore the other Tlnies
are." Then Clowny jumped up to
hl feet..- "That will bo fine," he
cried.- 1 v ' .'
So, in the wagon Clowny Jump
ed. He was so thrilled, his. wee
heart thumped.- ,"1'1I soon see all
tho other . Tinymites," Baid he,
"Hurray!" The Buddies quickly
grabbed a hold, and o'er the bill
but the county could maintain sev;
eral outfits aud keep them busy
all year. While many-people would
fail to get the money thoy are now
receiving for road work, yet it was
the general opinion Unit better
roads wwild result; ind that- '-tbo
work could be dune more cheaply
and efficiently ; thau under the
present system. ' ;'- 1
It was decided, regarding ' tho
horticultural , fundi : to ask the
county court to increase the re
volving fund from 51,500 to $2,500
and to appoint a committee to
keep In touch -with the work being
done. The committee' named con
sisted of Mi B. Green, R. H. C.
Wood and Clay Smith. ' 1
The committee's report ; was
adopted in its entirety.
;- The legislative' c6mmitteo: sub
mitted a. verbal report- and reconir
mended; 'among other ; things- that
real property be, assessed every
five years instead ot every year.
It was felt that such procedure
would save considerable expense
on the part of field assessors. Tho
assessor would, under this plan,
follow tho same schedule for a
five-year period, -making a correc
tion each five years.
Tho committee also recommend
ed 'that the leugue sponsor a bill
before the next legislature, pro
viding that in state and county
elect Ions that only freeholders-can
vote on matters .relhtlve to taxes.
Both of these recommendations
were unanimously adopted.
Assessor Calkins and Deputy
Sheriff Roberts, head of the tax
department, were invited to speak!
before tho league relative to the
proposal to consolidate the cleri
cal forces of the two offices. It
was shown that such a consolida
tion Is impossible, due to the fact
that both offices have their work
so arranged that the clerks art1
kept busy the full year, and that
their rush periods come at the
