The kick-off may bo abolished, linesmen may be prohibited from leaving their positions to make interference on end runs, and several minor, rules may be revised. But there remains in the minds of some persons the one important question, which the rules committee will not e$fin cpnsidcr, namely: "Might it not be quite advisable to abolish entirely the game of American football?" Such people assert that there is much damaging evidence against 'the game. , . -i And the most damaging fuct of all is that more than tvto score young Americans were, killed in playing the game dur ing the autumn season of 1931. ' Defenders of the game say that number is not large as compared with the great numbers of young men playing'!,t;he game, but the objectors insist that it is far t()o. large, and suggest that you ask tlje parents of one of those dead boys how they feel about it. Football enthusiasts also point out that most of these fatalities occurred, on teamis which lacked high-grade coach ing, and that the boys who are properly trained do noli-run such risks. v ' ; But that argument putting asido the fact that such rplendidly coached teams as West Point and Fordham .suX: i'mcd tragic casualties -- only leads us to the objectors' sec- end count! against football, that it; has .become a game for experts, a game that no boy should piny unless ho can give a great deal of his. time to it. For that reason they say, schools should, abolish it and ' leave to professionals. A, poorly trained basketball player, 'baseball player, or golfer doe's not run tho risk of losing their lives When they start to play, . ' ' Add to these counts the tremendous emotional cost of the game illustrated by Chick .Median's recent confession about "whipping boys into a frenzy," and the critics say you have a'n indictment almost overwhelming in its force. .. 'rn On the other side of the Atlantic there is another kind of football Englsh rugby. Great numbers of Englishmen play it, and greater numbera' of Englishmen watch them. Spectators and players alike seem' to enjoy the game quita as much as We enjoy our game, yet injuries and, fatalitioS'aro almost never known.. "Would it not be wise," the critics ask, "to replace tho American game with English rugby ?" , , ' PASSING THE BUCK There is a growing tendency to thrust upon the schools certain responsibilities toward youth which have always been strictly ill the province of the homo, and which were never intended to be assumed by the school system. These responsibilities have to do with the morals and manners of children. . ,,,, Sufficient training in these two essentials can never be sandwiched into a short school day between the three1; K's and several other subjects, and if the homo neglects its teaching we are bound to witness a gradual disappearance from society of those influences which have made possible our advanced civilization, , Children reflect their homo training more than 'rtfieir schooling. Of course there are exceptions but usually tho child is no bettor or worse than his home teaching and en vironment. Tho teacher may temper tho child's traiU, but those traits are cast in a mold of home life. j It is time for tho schools to find a champion who will jcomo to their defense in this cause. Too long havo they st been charged with tho derelictions of the home. It has beeii far too easy for parents to place tho responsibility where it does not belong. Too many people think they they are too la'zy lo form a THE OPEN COURT OOnflEfiPONDRNTS MUST SUBMIT TIIUIK NA1MKS TO THE EDITOR IP Til ICY 1UC SIIIK LKTTKILS P1UNTEI).

Now, Mr. Cham ;ber ot Commerce nnd business men (of all kinds, what have you ever done to promote anything that is for .the benefit of tlm common people? If you, Mr. Business Man, will open a public market where wo may brinf land sell our produce It will stop, much I of this produce that now comes In from . the other side of the rrioun ; tain. Wo would suggest It would pay I to spend a little money to keep the : valley east and west roads open so that Mr. Farmer might get In with .' his cream can, and egga. 1 A short time ago. a farmer, after driving through fields and ditches, arrived In. town with his eggs and was informed the price of eggs had I dropped 10 cents per dozen, caused by tho market being, over-supplied. Now, who sends BUI Dollar away? If you will furnish a city market that will handle all the produce that can bo 'raised In the wonderful soil of the Orande Rondo valley you will not have to beg dollars to maintain your city enterprises. And, Mr. Mer chant,' you will have a good market for your Implements, gardon seed, chicken feed, etc. At present, our farmers raise pro duce, take It to tho city and can sell very little of it because of the pror. duce brought from other places. ThoJ other day I noticed In a grocer's window turnips advertised for four 'pounds for 18 cents. Now Just fig ure what that would moan per acre to tho producer 1 who can raise 20 tons to the aero right here In our own valley. It Is time for action. .11. K.

Jan. 8 (!) American Ambassador W. Cameron Forbes pre sented Secrotnry Stlmson's note on the Manchurlau situation to the Jap anese foreign offlco lato today and official circles expressed the vlow that the military operations In Man churia aro not of a naturo to Justify intervention by third powers. Japancso Ambassador Dcbuchl also cabled a text of Secretary Stlmson's note, which Invoked the ntuc-powor treaty, and It was reiterated that Japan has mado no demands In Man churia except with respect to her treaty rights and thot, evon In the face of the repi-escnuitlons of other powers, thero Is llttlo chance that sho will modify her Manchurlan policy. In this connection It was empha sized that any administrative lute- JANUARY CLEARANCE As Low as All Men's Clothing Selling at Radically Reduced Prices The Store For grlty of China proper in, Manchuria prior to September 18, 1081, was hot destroyed . by the Japanese because, it was stated, Nanking had never ex ercised any real authority whatever In the. province.- The Chlnchow government, it was 'said, was nothing more than "a mas querade" designed to . disturb peace and ordor In Manchuria by instigat ing bandits and other lawless ele ments. Whether Japan will reply formally to the American note or publish a statement setting forth her stand has not yet been-decided. A' government spokesman emphasized, nevertheless, that American fights In Manchuria, regarding which Washington appear ed to be concerned, .would remain intact. The spokesman expressed regret that the present situation, . caused by the outbreak of September 18. had hampered business generally, but he said It could not be helped under the circumstances. ' "We stand for peace, order and honest government In Manchuria,'' he . said, "and we give every assurance that our policy is one of the open door and equal; opportunity., Our aim Is to promote the open door In every Way possible." ' He called attention to the fact that Secretary Stlmson's communication) bears "a marked.- similarity" to thei note, of Secretary Bryan,-, forwarded; on .May- 13. : 1016, .regarding, the Bof called 21 demands,, in which, it was stated that the . United. States, gov ernment was not preparedito recog nize any treaty agreemept which might Impair tho, territorial Integrity, of Ch)na, known, as the open, door, policy. Secretary Stlmson's note, he pointed, is more formal than, the 1916, communication, which, It waB assumed then, did not call for a re ply. , ' , Japan, ho said,, recognizes, as has often been stated, China's sover eignty over Manchuria, but it Is the contention of the government that ho actual authority, has ever existed there. The hoisting of the Sun Yat Sen flag In 1928 by Marshal Chang Huseh-Llang. he said, was a mere pretext and even Marshal Chang's acceptance of a vice commandershlp in the Nanking army and navy was without any real meaning. Marshal Chang, he said, never con sulted, Nanking regarding his policies. He, appointed his own railroad and other commissions. .. ,. , Regarding Muncluvrfa's future, To kyo holds, he, said, that neither Japan nor any third power ought, to attompt to lntorfere with the Chinese estab-. ll.shlug., their, own, government, in Manchuria in accordance with the principle of self-determination. Jap an's military action, he said, has-not infringed tho Kellogg pact because Japan acted, and Is acting, entirely In self-defense "which Is the funda mental right of a nation to Its ex istence, recognized both by the nlne powor pact end the Kellogg pact." tJAPANIiSEI CABINET HESIOXS ' By .lames 1. Howe TOKYO, Jan. 8 JP) The Japanese government ol. Premier, Inukal., less than a month old, handed Its re signation to Emperor Hirohlto late today shortly after tho emperor naa narrowly mlssycl becoming the. vie tlm of n bomb, t I n" v ; i Tho premier was Instructed by the qmperor to continue In oltice until further orders. Tho action of the cnbljnet In resigning was based on tho precedent of the resignation of the "earthquake" cabinet, of Premier Yamamoto, which resigned In 1023 after Emperor Hirohlto, then, prince regent, was rired upon wnuo on nis way, to open the Japanese parlla ment. Tho bomb exploded Immediately In lront of tho omperpr's state carriage as he rode home from the annual military review. It fell under the carrlago of Count Maklnq, minister of tho Imperial household, but In jured no one. A young Korean named Rihosho was Immediately nrreBted. A second bomb was found In his pocket. The resignation of the cabinet fot lowod n meeting , which was called shortly afterward. The reslgndtlon was believed to be merely formal ond In accord with the dictates of Jap anese custom. Premier Iuukai visited tho palace, made. Inquiries regarding the emperor's condition and offered tho government's apologies. Tho only injury from the bomb explosion was to ono of tho horses ridden by a member of tho emperor's bodyguard. The horso was struck by a piece of tho bursting missile. Tho emperor showed no signs of nervousness although officials wero considerably agitated. He continued on to tho palace and proceeded Im mediately to his study where he wont on with his affairs. He showed the same coolness as during the incident in 1923, when after he had been made tho target of rifle bullet, ho con tinued on to the parliament, which ho opened formally and then return ed to the palaco and went for a (Ume of golf, Police said tonight they had re ports Indicating that the Korean, Rihosho, was sent here by the pro visional Korean government at Shanghai, having been given about $150 expense money to stimulate the Korean independence movement.

The Union club fltso went on rec ord as favoring the law in regard to sage hen hunting.,. After a lengthy discussion the boys decided .,tney favored a: change in the grouse, hunting season,' making ;lt conform to the open season on deer. A proposition., for the Chinese phr.'isant i season, to open, the first Sunday In October and to be open, only on the following Wednesdays and Sundays of that month' met with the, approval of the club members. A lengthy discussion was carried on in regard to the laws governing hunting -.of. migratory mrds.. It. was poinfecj , out that this section, qt the state niitt practically ho chance for duck Or goose shooting after the middle cf November, a condition sim ilar, to that in . Eastern Idaho. The club went on record as favoring a Sunday- and. Wednesday open season from Oct.. 5 tOiOct. 31 for these birds. Deep Lawn Approved Lastly the. boys discussed the mat ter of bag limit for deer. Some favor ed a limit of ohe buck to each hun ter, but when It was pointed out that the present regulations amount to practically the same thine the club passed a resolution favoring the laws ae they now stand. . One of, the purpojnjfl of the meet ing was" to decide cn a date for. the annual clam -feed; but when It was. discovered that' there was a .possi bility of being honored by the pres ence Of the . state commission mem bore at such a meeting,- the club" de cided to? leave the 'selection of the date to the president and secretary, who were to get in touch with the commission before announcing a def inite date for the feed. , A brief discussion of the rumored discontinuance of the Union plant brought :but the facts that the club favored -not only the retaining of the present . hatchery but the doubling of Its capacity. It was pointed out that the Union plant turns out a higher percentage of trout to the number of eggs than most of the hatcheries of the state, generally about 80 per cent of eggs In the local plant find ing their way into the streams and lakes as young trout,. The local hatch ery (i9 strictly speaking, a trout plant, only about; 100,000 .salmon eggs be ing handled here, sufficient for the stocking of Catherine creek.to Insure the annual run in this stream, while a million or more rainbow and brook trout are hatched here each year. In order to have ample room for the handling of larger crowds at their feeds and other meetings the local sportsmen decided to enlarge the club home by. extending the width enough to provide another long table and to also build a coat room at the front of the cabin.
