A ONE MAN ELECTION
There was an election in Italy recently. When the citizens went to the pools to exercise their right to vote they had little trouble in making their choice. There was only one ticket, and this had to be voted straight. The first name on the ballot, was- Musolini, Renito.
THURSDAY, APRIL 11, 1929
There must be something in the balmy air of Italy that produces unscrupulous leaders. Italy has gained a lot of publicity through the infamous deeds of her rulers. History is rich with names of swearful skinned politicians who have fought their way to power and fame, and then capitulated their own destiny by their own prince and ambition. It is possible that the name of Massasili will be joined with those of Antony, Nero, and the Caesars.
ENCOURAGEMENT
Fat-heads need mental exercise.
America's assimilation of the alien is a matter of great concern throughout the country today. Fear has struck at the heart of the public. Immigration laws have become stricter, and organizations have adopted the slogan "American for the American" in an attempt to preserve the Ameri- nace race.
From among the jumble of facts and fears, Prof. Rudolph M. Binder, of New York University, comes with reassuring and encouraging testimony, Binder is a German from Transylvania where the Mayger rule has for centuries tried to change the prevailing German character.
He believes that the friendliness and the equality in economic competition in America accomplishes what centuries of force under Magyar rule failed to do. He admits that he became Americanized gradually and unconsolently, and that such a process was necessary if he expected to get along.
The ideal of the Melting Pot takes on a new angle with such testimony as this. Perhaps, if the aim of American existence is to assimilate the aliens, she has expected to hurry the process and to remake cultures over night. The dream of the Melting Pot may be nearer realization than the cold and sometimes ghastly facts seem to warrant, if Professor Bender is to be believed.
A dollar doesn't go as far as I used to, but it goes a lot faster.
COUNTING THE UNEMPLOYED
On the eve of taking another census a plan has been suggested whereby the unemployed of the country might be counted along with the population.
A federal census concerning unemployment was made in 1880, but it was not successful, due to lack of funds and doubt as to the validity of the results. In 1910 another effort was unsuccessfully made to secure data on unemployment. A senate resolution in March 1928 directed Secretary of Labor Davis to report on the unemployed. His gueses of 1,475,000 unemployed which covered only the stribulation of payrolls between 1925 and January 1928 differed by a few million from the guesses of other statisticians outside of Washington. No figures were available for such industries as agriculture, mining and clinical work and the assumption was made that these branches were affected in about the same degree as manufacturing and transportation.
The need for comprehensive census data has become greater because of the unforeseen changes which are taking place with the growth of new industries. It is not advisable to make estimates without frequent checks based upon definite information such as could be obtained by the census. Without some definite and accurate figures concerning unemployment all efforts to increase the security of employment of wage earners will be futile. A set of questions which cover trades, professions or particular lines of work could be formulated and submitted when the regular population census is taken. As the population census covers all individuals the employment figures could be more valid than when just payroll fluctuations.
He who is "thrown over" usually lands "in the domms."
SPEEDING UP JUSTICE
A Georgian man has gone to jail after nine years of legal battle to avoid paying a $100 fine or serving a 30-day jail sentence after conviction under the federal law governing collection of the whisky tax before prohibition. The court skirmish started in 1921 and the alleged offense occurred before the enactment of the Volstad act.
Legal action of all kinds should be speeched up. Nine years is too long a time for any case to be held pending in court. Any court action whether large or small is expensive. It is against abuses like the above that the present administration is directing its fight for speeding up justice in prohibition cases. There are too many legal technicalities to be gone through before definite action is taken. People are more apt to dishey the law when they know legal action may be so deferred that it may never inflict a penalty on them.
Have you heard of the boy who couldn't get his fortune told because there weren't enough queens in the deck?
"COLLEGIATE! COLLEGIATE!
YES—"
"Yes, we are collegiate!" finishes the line of a once popular song. But Henry G. Doyle, dean of men at George Washington University, disproves that accusation made against university students by conclusions drawn from his own observations and from statements by the presidents or deans of about three hundred colleges in reply to a questionnaire, Mr. Doyle says that the American collegium is "collegiate" but "has higher ideals and purposes, does better and more serious scholastic work, lives by a higher standard of moral conduct than the student of any preceding generation." He undertook the inquiry with a "desire to contribute something towards the correction of what I believe to be erroneous public opinion concerning the college man and woman today."
Thus it is that the seniors who, for four years, have been followed by startling reputations of flaming youth, wild parties, hard drinking, passionately painted flippers and coenakins coat, now live, even before they are allowed to graduate, to see themselves shown up. Because one dean sent three hundred questionnaires to other deans to ascertain facts which a truthful college senior could have supplied him, college students have lost their romance and glamour. They are almost glad to be graduating now that the public knows them for what they are and no longer finds them subject matter for shocked conversation. Unwillingly, they accept their position as proscale and fairly intelligent individuals. Sie transgloria!
Do the Sculptored Greeks Wear Silk? Late Researches Advance That Theory
New York.—Were the climbing sculptured draperies of the Parthenon Famen仕名 silk? Were the diaphanous and alluring feminine garments described in Aristophanes' counsels of the same sheer silkenies that�mouses the Greeks until the fifth century A.D., Gisela M. A. Richter, of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is inclined to think that the much-anticipated silk of the Greek silk and its beautifying advantage long before. Linne and good wood.

"Inside Stuff"
--that luminous peninsula but classical literature contains many references to thin, slightly expensive garments and clothes that were declared in a recent report to the Archaeological Institute of America. They are thought to have been made of especially fine then from Egypt and fashioned in land in the Aegean with, however, only a few tiny valleys, fertile enough for the cultivation of flax; hardly enough, according to Miss Richter, to industry of even a high priced article.
The unpublished story is often the most interesting one.
That brings up the matter of news suppression and all its attendant ethical problems.
BET to concrete illustration.
Tuesday morning the ad copy of the Pachamama contained definite information that an opposition slate of candidates was developing. The news statement was developed as news. But if it was a statement were published, the editors felt that the opposition should have a chance to reply. Yet it is an easy task for the press to bring in very secret until it leaves the presses. Therefore the Kanman carried the story as rumor, which it told as if the Hill generally was concerned.
The moral? Well, if any: That not all news supression is unethical.

Today's Best Editorial
Times come when the calmest opponent of censorship laws feels like era ending in behalf of a muzzle law. Cunen Law Society insisted it ensured a magazine mittee at Albany on Tuesday that the book publishers were "making youth the public's youth and the Rev. R. O. M. Miller State Civic League shouted that the publishers had struck "a nigging literature on the market."
CLEAN BOOKS; CLEAN MINDS
Now this is nonsense and vicious nonsense. The publishers are not making millions, youth is not being flooded by wile and degrading literature. . . it is already a midevenor encounter. "I will ask any inexperienced historians, or decrying book, magazine, pamper, newspaper, story paper, writing paper, picture, drawing, photograph figure or image, or any written or illustrated work," she writes in heracter." To a normal decent mind, such a definition seems adequate and commensurate. But the reformers with their misnamed "demon book bill", which would make it illegal to sell any book containing any passage which, taken by itself, might seem objectionable, have an immediate advantage to outlaw the Bible and the works of William Shakespeare, as well as the five-centennial Donacio which have been ruled unanimously by some illiterate著者.
We doubt if any youth has ever been led astray by reading those more ancient poets, Shakespeare the Bible the Greek poets, Shakespeare the Greeks in almost all the classics—which a prodigious generation used to veil from the realization of today is abundantly able to stand stronger literature than Mr. Semner and his associates are likely to read upwardly by literature; the franker novels are rather a reflection of current events as creator of them. A really smart real saint; Mr. Summer, we understand—and surely no man can reject even a real sni
Supporting her theory by research among ancient Greek and Latin writers she has established a hypothesis that the earliest books were made of wild silk introduced from the East, where it was known to the earliest times. The name Amorphaeus appears in Greek only after the Roman era) she accounts for by the fact that the island was a convenient site for the arrival of Persians in the Persian Gulf, Babylon and "yre." It is the next door neighbor of Antioch, where the art of Aristocle was considered the base of Greek silk manufacture, so what was more natural, Miss Ritcher wrote, than the armament Amorphaeus, just as later the Romans called them "cone vestes." To call it a material at a place from which the ancient book of course, a well known practice."
The Greeks may also, she added, have learned about silk from their near neighbor and frequent enemies, the Persians, who are known to have been addicted to insurious silk apparel as early as the fifth century. B. C.

Instead of more censors, let us have more freedom. A healthy young genius is surrounded by the world. It is our observation that where it is protected and prohibited we are much more competent impatient impetuousness. Where it is et al, above and given a chance, it is a genius.

THE TRANSITION PERIOD
Thecampus,uninhibited for a week's time,has again taken on a busy appearance,with the final quarter of the year ahead.
Students meet, praise or condemn their last quarter's professors, and the first day ends as usual.
There is a noticeable difference in the attitude of students at the best time of year — when camped with the winter. There is an eagerness that cannot be hidden. The spring, with its warm weather, provides an inviting aspect that is felt by all. Even though the winter season is the most challenging, the year creater the most enthusiasm.
Juniors are thinking about the ap artificie and elective senior position. The students will begin to write for jobs. Sophomores anticipate graduation into the upper division of the college, and of the time when they will be treated like human beings by their brothers

Life has often been compared to a poker game with the devil dealing from a marked deck. A certain marker has known the truth of this epigram. He settled down with a full house for a winning hand, until some slicker came along and stole his queen to fill it up. The poor hostian holding three of a kind.

Vogue Patterns cost a few cents more
The Difference is Style Insurance
HOW much does your material cost? Twelve dollars—twenty-five!... How much does your pattern cost? A mere fraction of that amount. Yet your dress can be no smaller than your pattern, no matter how good your material is. If, for a few cents extra, you could incur your dress, so that it would positively be a success—wouldn't you do it?… Buying a Vogue Pattern is just precisely that.
VOGUE PATTERNS are not made by the million—there are not a million women in America who know the difference between a smart frock and one that just misses it.
Vague Patterns are made for the few women in each community who understand what chic means—who know that it is made up of little things, tiny differences in cut and fit, that turn into big differences in total effect—women who want to follow Paris and New York—who must not only have the new thing, but have it right . . .
Such a woman realizes that Vogue's world-wide fashion gathering service costs hundreds of thousands of dollars and that all Vogue Patterns are founded on its judgment. She knows that this necessitates the few cents extra in pattern cost to her . . . she pays it gladly, because she has proved that it constitutes style insurance for all the rest of her clothes expenditure.
