THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1930 RACE, NOT CHIVALRY A Negro who testified in Georgia recently against two white men accused of attacking a Negro woman was mobbed and killed. The proposition could more clearly indicate the proposition that lynchings are due to race hatred rather than to the use of violence against blacks, he said, as it so strentically rationalizes. This Negro who was killed had testified in court in behalf of a woman of his own race; had the position been reversed—and the two men accused of assault were Negroes attacking a white man. The two men were no longer in no trial at which he might testify. The two men would have been lynched immediately, guilt or not. Mob law is unjust law, always. It is the instrument of hate, prejudice, of every evil emotion. The South will never really become great until it acts the Negro question by recognition of the universality of human rights. VARIATIONS Wealth, taxes, wages, and divorce are causing our downfall, a Kansas minister says, just as they caused Rome's. We are glad to learn authoritatively just what did cause Rome's collapse. Other expert on the subject has ever elucidated so precisely the very reasons for it. What makes a tidy person abhor an untidy one, and vice versa? What makes an American despise an Englishman for his tea-drinking at four in the afternoon, and an Englishman ridicule a Frenchman for an alleged reliah for frog-legs? People just naturally disprove of strangers. Different customs, a different appearance, different values excite in us contempt, suspicion, fear. Ignorance is the basis for our distrust. We do not know or understand the actions of others; and when they are totally different from us in their manners, they seem utterly foolish and useless. The marked individual, the variation from the normal, the eccentric, unconventional person appears suspect and is ostracized. It's very curious; for the vignor of civilization has always depended on just such individuals: Socrates, Jesus, Giordano Browni, Cicerone Joan of Arre, for example—all were derided, put to death. Society would do better to take the contributions of differing groups and individuals and select the best features to improve its culture. The basis for most of our backwardness has been this unwillingness to be tolerant and to see possible good in other approaches than one's own. ON TO CONGRESS! Heywood Broun has managed to get himself arrested in order to prove to a suspecting public that he is discrete in the things which he stands for. Of course his stopping traffic while taking part in a dressmaker's parade is an amusing gesture, but even Wil Rogers believes that the man is a martyr and the Kansas City Star suggests that "Remember Broun" may become a battle cry for his followers. Whether or not we take seriously Mr. Broun's inspirations for congress, we must acknowledge that he stands for a lot of commonsense. The vast throngs who listen eagerly for the radio chats of the theater critic, book reviewer, amateur painter and socialist have come to accept his views as rational in spite of their prejudice against socialistic tendencies. After all, his socialism seems to be limited to seeing that everyone has a fair deal. For better or for worse, he is seeking to become a congressman; and as someone has already suggested, we ought to elect him because he looks like a congressman, if for no other reason. Sir Thomas Linton's fund has reached almost $5000. That ought to buy him an elegant mountaine cup, nicht wahr? A CHANCE TO PRACTICE EQUALITY If there is a man on the Hill that wasn't on the free brawl last night, let him step forward and receive the sand-paper toothbrush. Verily, the stages were out in force. But where were the members of the opposite gender? The women didn't get the last word last night because they were outnumbered more than 10 to 1. By actual count there were 30 women and about 400 men. A lot of women were probably at home twirling their thumbs because no one asked them if they cared for the company of an escort to or fro between their houses and the Union Building. If a dance is to be a success, it's got to have women, and plenty of them. And if they don't have dates why can't they go to these Wednesday night affairs anyway? They talk about free and equal rights—here's their chance to exercise that new liberty. The women should take the position that it is just as proper for them to go alone to these dances as it is for the men. And in part—if the sororities would make their pledges up go there in a body, it would help a lot. THE FINAL RATIFICATION The London naval treaty between England, Japan, and the United States is at last in force with Japan's ratification. The treaty was a feeble step toward peace, but at least it should stop any race in navy-building which might otherwise occur. It also saved all of us money, though it scrapped nothing except what has already become obsolete in naval warfare: battleships and ships. The ideals of Ramssey MacDonald were not realized at the London conference because the world has not yet progressed to his advanced stage of pacifism; but we may hail the treaty as a definite, if very short, step toward greater limitation of armaments. It is significant of the world's sentiments that the agreement had little trouble in being ratified by all three signatories. TREAT THEM EQUALLY Tonight is Fealty right, the time for the freshmen to be initiated into membership in the University. It is a great occasion, to be taken with all seriousness. Tonight is the night the freshen become one with the rest of us; the night they get their first official recognition as members of this great institution. For those of them to whom ceremonies are impressive and significant, the oath of fealty should be worth something. It is a definite sort of entrance into the student body, a fusion of many little nuts into one big machine. Whether the women on the campus know it or not they are all members of a particular institution, popularly known as the W. S. G. A. And because they may not know how they became one of that or other institutions, fifty cents when they paid their fees. Campus Opinion We'll agree that such work as the above-mentioned items takes funds. But does it take fifty cents from each woman enrolled in the University? Perhaps the new students are wondering why a membership in W. W. Grace is so expensive. So are most of the "old timers." Of course there are teas that ask for the membership, and the logic of voting, and one is considered a functioning (1) part of the student as answer. The Men's Student Council considers an assessment of twenty-five cents a week on its work. But it takes fifty cents to join a student government or office. Why should two organizations whose purposes are identical differ on the question of a membership fee? Nurses To Meet In Manhattan V.

EVOLUTION OF ESKIMOS SHOWN BY SMITHSONIAN DISCOVERIES St. Lawrence Island Excavations Yield Complete Record of Ancient Northern Culture Washington-Digging at an abandoned Eskimo settlement on St. Lawrence Island, Henry B. Collins Jr. of the Smithsonian Institute, has unearthed old Eskimo possessions which demonstrate the evolution of Eskimo culture through many centuries up to the modern Eskimo way of living. In a communication received by the Smithsonian Institution from Mr. Collins' isolated camp, and by way of a mountain pass near Washington, gist expression the belief that the old village is the most important Eukime she in Alaska for showing change is the result of her experience. Four mounds, representing places where the Eikimi lived at different times, lie within a short distance of the sea. They were seized by the sea. A gravel spit on which three of the mounds stand was apparently built up slowly by the receding tide and eroded by the water. Mr. Collins speculated that the Eikimi had to move forward from time to time in order to build their village there, and probably have wanted it, by the shore. Excavation has proved this to be exactly the case, he explains. Out of the most ancient armour, lying on a hilltop in the basement of the village Collins has taken ivory harp headens and other Eikimo possessions carved in stone from the hillside of type of Eikimo art. Near the shore the art grades into more recent styles, and at the house sites of the highest Eikimo sites, further excavations Collins found iron harp headens and other signs of modern Eikimo life. The site was discovered when the last of the prehistoric Eikimo on the island met the white mar VIRGIN DIAMONDS F. H. ROBERTS Jeweler 833 Mass.

Mr. Collins wrote, "In fact, I can think of no place in America where at a certain moment the traced without break from a period as ancient as the Old Bering Sea culture 'o the modern.'" Mr. Collins will remain at St. Lawrence Island as late in the autumn as weather conditions permit.
