Has Warm Praise For School Student Body The high school student body is to be congratulated upon its disclaimer of the football championship. It is frnnkly confessed that a man over-age was played in dieobedienee to the rules of the association. That the boys snd girls of our high school should de cide in open meeting that it would be wrong to claim the championship un der those eonditions and that they would waive all claim to it should be a matter of pride to every citizen of our eity. It was not only an easy decisioi tc make. It was a victory of con science. It shows that they prize hon esty above honors, character mnre than sthletie per-eminence. It is by far the greatest victory of the season and decades from now there will be echoes of this moral triumph of youthful democracy in hearts and souls that to day helped to win it A score of years hence there will b. a straightness of character, a atauchness of principle and eenrage of ntterance traceable fr today's victory of right over wrong, of the abiding over the passing.
