HOBART TO RE-NEW
CLINTON CONTRACT
Two Gridiron Rivals Will Clash on
Thanksgiving, 1923 and 1924
—Profitable to Teams
A two-year contract is being drawn
with Ginton High School, providing
for a continuation of the Thanksgiv-
ing foct ball fames between these two
towns. Last year the game was at
Clinton; thU year ut Ho'mrt. The
place alternates each year between the
towns. Tl^e fact that these two schools
nre so evenly matched most years,
that there is -such a fine feeling ex
ifting between the two towns, an J the
short distance and good roads con-
necting the towns, make this annu.il
Thanksgiving match very 'desirable.
The financial arrangement is also
an exceptionally good one. The ac-
tual expenr.es of the game are deduct-
ed from the cross receipts., The net
receipts are divided—60 percent go-
ing to the school where the game is
played, and 40 percent going to the
visiting team That way no town

And if the "plant" happens to be a
public school, the rule no less holds
good.
The community with good school
buildings which does not utilize them
for some good purpose outside of the
normal five hours of schol, five days
a week, is not making as much profit
on its investment in those schols as
might be had.
Many communities use their schools
for Americanization purposes in the
evenings. There are thousands of
foreigners in this "country who are
eager to be of, as well as in, the land
of their adoption. They hunger for
American ideas to transform that
hunger into one for American ideals
is as fine a work as can be done in
a school.
It costs little; if it costs much, it
would still be worth it. To take those
of alien birth who know nothing of
the Stars and Stripes save that they
form the flag of America and teach
them that for which it stands—jus-
tice, toleration, religious freedom, lib-
erty, safety of person and property,
decency, chivalry to the weak; to in-
struct them in the fundamentals of!
American history, let them learn of
Washington and Lincoln as something
else than names; give them a chance
to go out in our strenuous economic
life fitted to cope with Americans on
a basis «f mutual Americanism; that
is to reduce the overhead on the
schools on one hand, and pay great
dividends to the State on the other.
Not all foreigners here want to be
Americanized. But of those who do,
a large number know not which way
to turn. The school building, other-
wise idle in afternoon and evening,
the loyal and enthusiastic American
citizen to whom patriotism means
somethings else than a cheer when
the flag goes by, acting as instructor,
these are the means to which he
should be able to turn.
RUSSIA AT LAUSANNE
it is an odd spectacle, that of Mus-
solini, who headed a revolution to
save Italy from Sovietism, demanding
that the Russian Soviet government
be allowed to participate in the Lau-
sanne conference.
Yet perhaps Mussolini is right. On
the face of things, Russia has as
much right to share in that confer-
ence as any nation in Europe, and
more right than America
Russia is intimately and perma-
nently interested in the Turkish
Straits, because they furnish her only
wann-water connection with the outer
world. It is much as if the only deep
sea outlet of the United States were
the Mississippi River, and a group of
foreign nations insisted on settling
the control of the river, from New
Orleans down, without consulting this
country.
The objection, to be sure, is really
against the Soviet government rather
than Russia. But that Soviet gov-
ernment, with all its iniquities and
errors, happens to be the only govern-
ment there is to speak for Russia.
And if Russia is not given a voice in
the settlement now, she will unsettle
the whole thing sooner or later.
izens of legal age and over. In ten
years it will be depending upon the
children of today. If these children
are not well taught, properly taught,
highly taught, the future citizens of
America will be ignorant, unable to
think, to plan, to carry on this, our
Nation, jn its forward course. If the
child of today is the voter, and per-
haps, the Legislator and the President
of tomorrow, then the teacher of to-
day is the maker of the Nation of to-
morrow. The best of teachers, paid
well enough' to enable them to give
their best to* our children, should be
none too good for America; if Educal-
tion Week can awaken the electorate
to the need of the best, the need of
paying for the best, it will not be hied
in vain.
THE TEACHER" OF PATRIOTISM
A famous French writer and hum-
anitarian, Victor Hugo, has said:
"Open a school ami close a prison."
There is profound truth and a great
ideal embodied in this short but sig-
nificant sentence. Education Js the
torch bearer of civilization; it illum-
ines the dark places of the world
where ignorance, vice, and squalor
exist side hy side. Under its amelior-
ating influence it dispels evil and in-
culcates good. It broadens the vision
of humanity and makes for tolerance
and better living. It is a moral and
Spiritualizing force.
It is through enlightenment that
American institutions will be perpet-
uated. When men learn the truth
about economic and social problems
they will not so easily be led away by
demagogues.
A vitalized problem of patriotism
and civics, based not only on love of
country, but on a common-sense un-
derstanding of our constitutional form
Tuesday Seaver dismissed fifteen
liquor cases and justified his action by
a statement in which he declared "the
people do not want prohibition and I
am not going to cram something down
their throats they do not want.
Boyer's complaint was made to the
Governor Wednesday. Assistant At-
torney General King arrived here
Thursday and Friday morning opened
his inquiry with a conference with
Seaver.
Subsequent to this conference Seav*-
er amplified his original explanation
with the declaration that the law pro-
hibiting the sale of liquor in Okla-
homa was inadequate, that he could
not obtain convictions and that
he was cleaning up the docket for his
successor.
Late Friday King filed in County
Court twenty-six motions whereby he
sought to reinstate on the docket cas-
es against accused liquor law vio-
lators dismissed by Seaver.
County Attorney Seaver announced
that he had "nothing to say" regard-
ing the attempt to remove him from
of/ice. '

The Revival meeting at the Chris-

at every service. Sunday was a big

best service of the kind ever held in
the city.

crowd. More than a thousand foot
ball enthvsiasts witnessed the game
last week. The total receipts were
$637.00. This enables the local high
school to pa.- off $200.00 deficit on
last year, pay for the foot ball ma-
terial purchased this year, and have
a verv few dollars margin. Up till
the Thankscriving game the season
was not self-scpportinrr, due partly
to the fact that only 40c admission
had been charged whereas most towns
were charging 50c for all week-end
games.

Patriotic societies can aid materially
in this great work. In every possible
way such organizations should uphold
the free school system of the country
—the great melting pot of the Repub-
lic, in which the children of the for-
eign-born are fused into the citizen-
ry of the Nation. Respect for the
flae, the rights and duties of citizen-
hip, toleration of individual relig-
ious opinions and education for service
to humanity are the ideals to be stiv-
en for in any such program of edu-
cation.
Our patriotic societies can do much
constructive work in encouraging and
aiding such organizations as Boy and
Girl Scouts, Community Centers, and
other associations having to do with
the uplift and betterment of the peo-
ple.

the spirit of song in the meetings and
several of the campaign songs have
made marked impressions on the
crowds.
Rev. Stewart has made good as a
preacher. He sticks to the Bible and
no finer or more logical sermons have
ever J>een preached in Hobart. Mr.
Stewart is for the town where he
works, and people soon understand
that. You laugh and you cry, while
he preaches, because of the power in
the preaching. He is dramatic at
times and the audience is held mo-
tionless. Then the wonderful simpli-
city of the message is inspiring.
The lecture on Tuesday night to the
high school was called a masterpiece
by all who were there, and the church
building was crowded for the service.
The interest in the meeting is
spreading. There were 16 additions to
the Church Sunday morning.
Friday night will be "Home Ser-

The fi-ee Christmas concert which

cially the numbers which have !on<*
been such favorites. The city hall
was filled.
