t. Sometimes we think the knocker is rixht in what he
says,' about his town. If it weren't that kind of a town,
jt wouldn't tolerate him. '
Jhe French chamber of deputies has "rejected ii- lottery
plan for paying: the public debt. That's one step' toward
abandonment of sidestepping financial matters.
- ' Roger Babson says that the country is due for another
period of wild speculation and blue sky investment Unit will
rival the post-war riot. Wo doubt that it will reach such
proportions, chiefly because there are -very few people,
comparatively, who have any surplus to speculate with. In
1919, and 1920 many agricultural districts were ripe for
the high-powered salesman with his bogus oil promotions,
his wild land values, and his vague industrial stocks. To
day the farmer is too busy trying to pay off the indebted
ness, brought on by the recent agricultural depression to
bother with speculation. In the metropolitan centers and
in eastern industrial districts prosperity may be such as to
warrant the period Babson anticipates, but ' we' won't be
bothered out in this direction. ' Too many people have
learned that permanent prosperity comos quickest by thrift

THE PASSING OF "RED" GRANGK.
, "Ked'' Grange, whose name is a by-word with everyone
interested in the sport world, played professional football
in Chicago Thanksgiving ' before '10,000 spectators and
earned about $'.20,000 , for his time and effort. 'r lie will
play again a time or two before his name fades from the
sport horizon and will probably collect an ordinary small
fortune before the year ends.
' That Grange has turned, professional is a source of dis
appointment to the thousands of followers who have thrilled
iit his college gridiron accomplishments but it's his own
business. There ; is nothing to prevent his playing pio
fessional football, nothing to require that he finish college,
nothing to demand his remaining an amateur hero instead
of becoming a professional nobody. It was Hod's choice
nd he decided . in favor of money.
: Maybe thousands of other good football players would
like to have the same opportunity, and the '.same fame and
record that made the opportunity possible. Hut we doubt
it. Somehow, the fact that Grange quits college to collect
a few thousands in professional football, that he grabs the
chuncc to capitalize the name that his university and his
teammates made possible, makes us feel that Grango isn't
quite as great a football player as we had thought, that he
isn't half as true a sport as he has been pictured.
:. The same rules govern prolessioiial football as college
football, but there is all the difference in the world be
tween seeing a man make a brilliant play, stage a sportae
ulur run througn an opposing team, and win a game when
he is doing it for twenty thousand dollars and when lie is
doing it for the love of his school and the glory of its
name. Grange is the greatest football player who ever
Irod a gridiron, or so all sport experts would have us lie
lieve, and yet there are thousands of football followers in
the country who wouldn't walk across the street to see
' range play today, knowing that ho was motivated only
by a desire for quirk money and that the contest was
staged purely for the sake of meiYenary profit. Kootball
differs from professional baseball in that respect much of
its charm lies in the rivalry of two colleges, in the color
mill spirit of youth, in the fact that it is on the level and
a true sporting event amateur. The name of Grange was
tine to be conjured with only a week ago, one that would
have long remained in the hearts of those who love ath
letic ability. Today it is a name that is fast fading into
oblivion.
