TIME FOR ACTION
When crisp mornings ar-
rive to make men walk brisk-
ly and breathe deeply on the
way to work, when sport
pages are filled with the early
workouts of grid teams and
when we recall former days
when w. started the school
year, a certain indetinablc
spirit moves us. We want to
see the kick-off and help with
the yelling on the sidelines.
We pick our teams and defy
those who would attempt to
defeat them.
There is something about a
football game which gets un-
der the skin and brings about
a sensation which no other
sport or activity can produce.
This something has been call-
ed spirit and the word spirit
seems to most nearly describe
the thrill which is experienced
by men an dwomen on the
sidelines.
Tomorrow afternoon the
season opens in Borger just as
the winds of the Panhandle
plains chill the air to bring
about a crispness and a desire
'| to expend energy rooting for
the home team. Amarillo, a
city which would hate to lose
to Borger, and the Bulldogs, a
team which would give a great
deal to defeat Amarillo, meet
to satisfy that desire for a
gridiron conflict which has
arisen in all fans in the oil
field.

WASHINGTON—Of all the unu-
sual angles In the current presiden-
tial campaign, there is probably no
more curious spectacle than that of
each major political party being
forced to carry water on both shoul-
ders while walking the same tight-
rope. with penalties for awkward-
ness. While large numbers of vot-
ers are undoubtedly perplexed at
unable to decide how to vote, it is
the spectacle and many are as yet
rather to be feared that some per-
sons who do not take their politics
very seriously are finding the cam-
paign a source of amusement.
The lay citizen might feel some-
what embarrassed If he were to find
himself in the seemingly awkward
situation of either party, but suc-
cessful politicians are notoriously
thick-skinned, and also experienced
ii> the art oi making one appeal to
one segment of the electorate and
I an exactly opposite appeal to the
j rest.
There is a touch of the bizarre in
1 ;> situation which finds the republi-
| ran vice presidential candidate and
| a large number of eastern republi-
can newspapers and politicians in
the east urging the voters to defeat
Hm'th because he can't change the
prohibition laws and at the same
time reveals, many democratic spell-
binders assuring voters that they
can afford to vote for Smith because
he can't change the prohibition
laws!
The answer is, of course, that it
is good politics for the republicans
t?o tell the wets that A1 offers no
hope, and to tell the drys that he's
a serious menace. It is equally good
politics for the democrats to tell
the wets that A1 will lead them out
of the desert and to tell the drys
that he would be liogtie^l.
None of Al's followers is trying
to prove that lie is actually a dry,
after his unequivocal acceptance
speech, but some of Herbert's wet
friends have certainly tried lo prove
that, lu wati one of them.
Hut if Al's forthrightness should
I seem to give him any moral edge
1 on the prohibition issue, it may be
iii'fsel by the fa t that it's the dem-
orrats who have had to hedge on
: larm relief. For, while the republi-
can leaders have boldly and une-
quivocally eschewed the MeNary-
Haugen bill and although that meas-
ure's strongest republican support-
r-i among office-holders have fan-
ten back into the regular lines with

ver can he depended on to help
them, Smith and National Chairman
Haskob have seemed to be fli' I'"*'
with the equalization lee as much
ar, they dared.
The trouble is, of coni'so, that
while the democrats are anxious to
break into the agricultural states,
any outright espousal of tiie Me-
Nary-Haugen plan would probably
be ruinous in the ljtt'ge eastern cit-
ies, where Smith is especially
strong. At. the same, time it is good
politics for both parties lo promise
the farmers all they.can afford to
pi .mise them. Mindful of 1932, it
is it bet thai whichever party

Despite the fact that Borger
schools are crowded as per-
haps no other schools in the
state of Texas are. so far lit-
tle heed has been taken by
those men who bring about
changes and boost civic devel-
opment. Perhaps these men
are hanging back because the
last bond issue was defeated,
but as citizens of a community!
which has the right to claim!
to be one of the most pro
gressive in the nation we
should think the school prob-
lem through and act at once.
The school bond issue was
defeated in June, because vot-
ers did not believe that Bor-
ger would have as many stu-
dents this year as were re-
corded last year. Man after
man who voted against the;
issue expressed the belief that
our present buildings would
not be crowded this year, and
advanced an opinion which on
the surface seemed to be suf-
ficient reasons for the belief.
These men and women how
know that there are more stu-
dents than even school author-
ities had any idea would en-
roll. These men and women
would support a bond issue
which would deviate the con-
gestion which now exists.
Another argument which
has arisen recently against the
schools, the greatest institu-
tion with the possible excep-
tion of the home known to the
civilized world, falls flat!
when investigated. The argu- j ^°—t.-—.
ment which some persons have| |
put forth is that Borger is go-
ger!" These are the cries
which will ring across the Pac-
er field tomorrow afternoon
and the force with which
these yells are given will be
strengthened by the spirit
which has arisen with the
coming of fall. Football sea-
son means a lot to all who
have ever followed or plaved
with a "home team." The
Borger Bulldogs are the homo
boys this season and the mea-
sure of their success will be
dependent upon the number
of men and women who ap-
pear on the sidelines to give
them a sendoff.

ing out into camps and bring-
ing students in to the build-
ings in busses. This is true,
but the reason it is true is
that the school officials, with
such a meagre amount of mon-
ey in the treasury that it be-
gan to look as though the
teachers might have to go un-
paid, cut down the expense
of more teachers by bringing
students to Borger. The Mar-
land school building is closed
this year and it would house
160 students. There are 300
students here over the age of
7 who are cooped into close
quarters. The Marland build-
ing, by trucks collecting stu-
dents and taking them out of
Borger to school, would accom-
odate only a part of the pres-
ent enrollment and would
leave all children under the
age of 7 still at home.
There isn't enough students
at Marland camp to lill the

NOT for years lias there been such intense interest
in a presidential campaign. Issues have, aioused
keen debate, the personalities of (he candidates liave
become important factors and millions of women arc
actively engaged in the race. As never before there
is need for true, accurate and impartial reporting in giv-
ing voters complete information for their guidanrc'at the
poll*. Recognizing this fact. The Associated Press has
the largest and best staff ever aligned to presidential
candidates now with Smith, Hoover, Robinson and
Curtis.
Byron Prkc, for I 5 years a correspondent and chief
of tho Washington staff, haschargc of the political re-
port. He has traveled with presidents and candidates
for the presidency, covered many of the greatest events
in the. political history of this country and was in charge
of the staff assigned to both national conventions.
Price and D. Held Brittle, now are traveling through-
out the country and their stories rcflcci the political
situation in cadi stale they visit.
Covering the activities of Herbert Hoover are james

llayden. Paul F. Hauperl, D. Harold Oliver and
Martha Dalrymple arc with Alfred E. Smith. Francis
M. Stephenson is traveling with Senator Charles Curtis
and Waller Chamblin is with .Senator Joseph T.
Robinson. Potentially, there «re as many women
voters in America as men and the developments and
phases of the campaign of particular interest to women
arc being covered by Miss Hayden and Mii« Dal-
rymple. 'Jhis marks tho first hme surh regular assign-
ments have been given women reporters.
