This opinion ema nates from the hunters. The foxes have not been heard from on the subject. Maybe you don't know it, but there’s a lot of fox-hunting among us, especially down south. Being but a lot of stubborn non conformists. south erners do not follow the historic rules. A party at large wear ing a red coat, white panties and high boots would be mistaken for a ref ugee from a circus band. And anybody blowing a horn as Irvin S. Cobb he galloped across hill and dale would be set down as an insane fish peddler; and if you shouted "View, halloo! Tantivy, tantivy! Yoicks, yoicks!” or words to that effect, they’d think you were a new kind of hog-caller. Down there they’ve chased the fox until he’s wise. The foxes have learned that the hounds can’t fol low trail on a paved highway and so quit the thicket for the concrete when the chase is on. A fox has been sitting in the middle of the big road listening to the bewildered pack. On second thought maybe Brer Fox isn’t so smart, after all—not with automobile traffic what it is. ’Tis a hard choice—stay in the woods and get caught or take to the pike and get run over. • • • Courageous Republicans. HO, besides the writer, can re call when the Democrats held their jubilization rallies the night be fore a presidential election and the Republicans the night after the re turns were in, when they had some thing to jubilate over? Now the sit uation is just the other way around. The Literary Digest poll was prac tically the only thing the Republi cans had to celebrate during the en tire full Mason of 1936. Still, we must give that dimin ished but gallant band credit for courage. Here, in an off-year, they’re spiritedly planning against the next congressional campaign. • • • English Recruiting. HE English are still having trouble inducing young fellows to join the colors. First, the gov ernment tried to increase enlist ments by giving every recruit a gid dy new blue uniform, absolutely free of charge, and still the lads re fused. So now. as an appeal which, ’tis believed, no true Britisher can withstand, the military authorities announce that, hereafter. Tommy Atkins will have time off for after noon tea. This may be a new notion for peacetime, but, during the great war, the custom was maintained even up at the front. Many a time I've seen all ranks, from the briga diers on down, knocking off for tea. However, this didn’t militate against his majesty's forces, be cause, at the same hour, the Ger mans, over on their side of the line, were having coffee—or what the Germans mistake for coffee. And the French took advantage of the lull to catch up with their bookkeep ing on what the allies owed them for damage to property, ground rent, use of trenches, billeting space, wear and tear, etc., etc. Did it ever occur to our cwn gen eral staff that guaranteeing a daily crap-shooting interval might stimu late volunteering for the American army? W T The Job of Censorship. NE reason why moving pictures are so clean is because some of the people who censor them have such dirty minds. To the very pi re everything is so impure, is it not? That's why some of us think the weight of popular opinion, rath er than the judgment of narrow brained official judges in various states, should decide what should and what should not be depicted. Anyhow, there are so many movies which, slightly amending the old ballad, are more to be pitied than censored. Sponsors of radio programs also lean over backward to be prudishly proper. But without let or hindrance the speaking stage, month by month, grows fouler and filthier. Suggestive lines once created a shock in the audience mind. The lines no longer suggest—they come right out and speak the nastiness. Sauce for the g<x>se isn't sauce for the gander, ’twould seem—or may be, after the reformers got through saucing radio and screen, there wasn't any left over for th« so- called legitimate stage.
