SUNDAY, MAY 10, 1931 TRUE APPRECIATION The first time a greeting card was ever received it was probably a delightful and refreshing gift. Today, through over supply, too much sentimentality and endless repetition, cards have lost their originality. They do not express individually the reverence of son or daughter to mother. They are the work of a versifier who has no thought of mother. Cards are well enough for Christmas, New Year's and Easter, but Mother's Day should not be thought of as a commercial opportunity for greeting card manufacturers and florists. A red or white carnation should be worn on this occasion, but the expression of love to mothers should be written individually. It is true that mothers appreciate the little commercial gifts, but there is always the feeling that "it doesn't sound a bit like Tom or Grace." Mother's Day should be an institution observed entirely from a personal standpoint. Mothers appreciate the individual work of their children. Fifty years ago, editors of rival papers would get together for a "friendly" fight. Now they play golf. LUCK IS WHAT COUNTS "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, "and some have greatness thrust upon them," is as true today as it ever was, but Shakespeare might very well have completed it by adding, "And now abideth brains, hard work and luck and the greatest of these is luck." Twelfth Night" at the Shubert last week was the stimulus to an analysis Shakespeare's often repeated bit of gospel. It's true that some men are born into situations under which they could hardly be anything else but great, others have to work for every inch and work for every penny; some become great by being passive and asking the patch of least resistance, but n every case luck is the controlling vector. Our idea of a supreme optimist is the man who has begun to worry about his 1931 income tax. DEFICIT A BUGBEAR Politicians are having one grand quarrel over whom to blame for the constantly mounting deficit in the United States treasury, which at present totals over $000,000,000. Senator William E. Borah is trying to try the blame on the "bureaucrats," who are constantly reaching out for more appropriations. Administration leaders blame congress for passing authorization bills calling for huge sums, including the bill increasing the loan value of veterans' bonus certificates for which over one billion dollars have already been spent. Secretary Mellon and the President have been warning Congress of the impending deficit and vigorously opposed this bill. War is said to have caused an increase of 40 per cent in the expenditures of the federal government, and so the "buck" s passed from one to the other. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXVIII Sunday, May 10, 1921 No. 175 The problem can be solved to a certain extent by some disarmament and This deficit is not likely to prove ruinous, but the question of where the money to take care of it will come from is a burning one. Progressives favor an increase in the income tax. This probably would be the easiest quickest and fairest way to meet the situation, but neither party will take the responsibility of increasing taxes. The contracting of loans or the issuing of bonds would only bring nearer the inevitable day of reckoning, if the depression continues. The moral teachers can preach hard work as the way to success from now until doomeday, but it will not eliminate the uncertainty of luck. Brains and hard work may increase your chances, but it will never be more than part of the reason for success. You have no choice in the cards you draw, but you may increase your chances by the way you play the hand. If Lindbergh had encountered a disastrous storm before he reached Paris he would have been just a poor fool. If the successful presidential candidates had been on the opposite tickets they would have been "also rans" If the Spanish rebellion hadn't taken place so soon the Prince of Asturia would have been king.

A Kansas City undertaker is using a picture of airplanes in his billboard advertising. Wonder if that suggests he wants the airplane and understated business? a re-organization of the administration departments, calling a halt to "pork barrel" legislation. If these reforms are brought about and a deficit still remains, taxes will have to be increased. ANOTHER SCOOP “Keep Kissable.” The cigarette advertisers had to reach into “the old sokum bucket” to get that one. But one of them found it and is splashing that slogan before the public in an extensive national advertising campaign. And what does it all mean? It is just another catch slogan which attempts to appeal to the ever-increasing number of women smokers. What woman would have it said of her that she was ever un-kissable? And if a certain brand of cigarettes will make her more kissable, (less un-kissable may be more nearly correct) then that is the brand for her. Women were once taught to "reach or a cigarette" when tempted to over-indulge. Later it was suggested that they "graduate" to a certain brand, and still again they learned that "in spinach it's grit; but in a cigarette it's taste." (Or something like that) The man who wants to trade his bald eagle for chicken feed will no doubt be deloged with offers by golfers trying to get a birdie. And now, right at the beginning of the season when a young man's fancy ... women must, above all things, "Keep Kissable." AN EXECUTION A recent dispatch from Russia says that 22 officers were executed in the Ukrainian military district. The officers the report continues, were arrested a month ago charged with an attempt to instigate a military revolt. To the American public there appears no justification for slaughter carried on by the Russian government; that such action does not cope with our civilization, and that Russia, by such action, has ostracized herself in the eyes of this nation. The natives of Russia look at the execution from a different standpoint. Under the social and economic conditions now established in that country, close co-operation is essential to attain the ultimate goal sought by that nation, Variants, to Russia, are men who might successfully tear down a system that has taken years in the planning and will take years to build up. Under the new five-year plan, recently inaugurated by the Reds, man power plus agreeable response is necessary if Russia wishes to establish herself permanently. A revolt is conspiracy against the government, conspiracy is treason and treason is punishable by death. With these thoughts, the Russia government justifies the action of execution. America has not fully comprehended the Russian system. People in this country are ignorant as to the forms of social control among the Reds. From our own standpoint it might be asked if exile would not have served in this case. But Russia is not willing to take a chance of having these men return and play with have with her schemes. America looks at the execution from a sociological viewpoint, while Russia considers her action from a more practical point of view. It is possible that both are right under their own system of economic and social control. The man who tried to stop his car by standing in front of it has renewed our faith in Austin jokes.
