WHAT ABOUT FOOTBALL?
, V There is every indication that the football rules committee
this winter will tinker with the regulations in an effort to
make the game safer.
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

In walking up one side and down
tho other sUio of your business
street, how much do you see on dls-
I piay in me siore wmaows inai was
i produced in tho Orande Hondo vul
iley? I I notice that you solicited dona
tions to build tho Mt. Emily road
I and, are now asking for assistance to
I maintain th0 band. 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.

TOKYO. Jan. 8 (!) American
Ambassador W. Cameron Forbes pre

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

JANUARY CLEARANCE

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

tinued on to the parliament, which
ho opened formally and then return

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.
