WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1923 Dr. Charles J. Smith, president of Roanoke College, Va., assembles his adjectives and judges. "The college: campuses of today are infested by an army of hard drinking, cigarette smoking, licentious amazons." With some 75,000 college degrees conferred in 1923, the nation is sure to go to the bow-wows. BRING BACK KIDD Irvin Cobb some years ago started a movement to bring back the old dime novel of Captain Kidd and Bloody Ice. Cobb claims that they always inspired higher ideals, and he says a Nick Carter "never done" anything but for the best. When one looks at the modern movie and periodical, he is inclined to agree that the dime novel is the lesser of two evils. Take for instance, the recent picture entitled "Six Days" advertised as the most daring, most sensational, and the greatest of all productions. The film came out and did what a tencent burlesque show suggests, but lacks the nerve to do on the stage. As a decent entertainment, it would have made a great hit on Barbary Coast a generation ago. Thus it is with the major percent of the movies. Divorce is a sacred institution. Falls from cliffs, papa mache settings, wooden Babylons, and dragged lions lead great numbers to the theater every night. Impossible stage stunts never inspired any young child to noble actions. The magazine is no better. Who cares about the joys of a night in Hollywood from the pages of the modern periodical? You can read about the night in the poets the next morning and it is much more realistic. A dime novel hero never spent the night in drunken debauchery. He went out and killed the half-breed cut-out or failing in this, he rescued a score of women from the howling Comanche. The dine novel is about eliminated, but the campaign should not stop. Let the clean-up squad wade in on movies and magazines. Nick Carter just caused the boy's eyes to stick out as he read, and when he was caught, he get a big moral lesson from association with the book. Now his parents pay him thirty cents to watch a lot of "bunk" on subjects the novel of yellow never touched. A pathetic thing is happening. A screen actress is appearing in a film entitled, "The Social Code" "THE PARSONS' BATTLE" The pulpis are at it again. At least some of them are. Names are being called, all the way from "moderists" and "fundamentals" to "Hertcites" and "lunk-heads." The average bicker with theological sophistry, and place the interpretation of scripture in a catalysum of heated personal attack. A few think deep. But under all this palavering and briefing on the Holy Gospel can there be found a sincere attempt to look toward the future of the Church? Will the layman of religious communities see church fundamental links more closely with problems and discoveries of his own living? Will, as the New Republic asks, a regenerates Christianity axising from an alliance between naturalism, aesthetic imagination and the Christian Church? We are beginning to be sorry for California. Somebody is blaming the fruit grower's association for "Yes, We Have No Bananas." Will there come a satisfying synthesis of science, art and religion or of research, imagination and faith? Above all, the layman wants faith and fundamentals—and the student wants to know about them. THE GENERAL CHARGES Brigadier General Charles W. Dawes appeared before a group of American and European business men the other day and said a few blunt things. The commission is in Paris investigating the financial situation of Germany, and the listeners sat up and took notice when the general told them that politics would not be tolerated on this trip. Davies will be remembered as the man who appeared before Congress and used the naughty word "damn" in the presence of those dignitaries. The keynote to the situation has been struck. If Europe could devote about half the time she uses for politics to the study of sound finance, she would not be on the verge of ruin today. The main idea in Europe today is to get somebody's throat between the fingers and start a process of quick strangulation. Everybody wants something that somebody else has. The financial experts of Europe will do well to do more than casually glance at the plans of General Dawes. The general can throw his hands, roll his eyes, and say some mighty ackrobatic words if the occasion arises. But behind it all, he always put out some sound advice. Advice is something that Europe can use mightly handy along financial lines, and war is about as useful to her as a pair of ear muffs on the Nile. They are planning to dye gasoline red, in order to prevent it being taken for water or other less dangerous liquids. Bootleggers will soon conceive in order to combat the new distinction. SACRIFICE Westerday a small "stick" of news in a metropolitan paper announced that the body of Lawrence Sperry, American aviator, had been washed ashore between Dungeness and Ryon on the English Channel. He lost his life a month ago while trying to fly from England to the continent in his twenty foot "fliver" plane. A few years ago the Wrights and others were doing pioneer work in aeronautics. Lives were lost then and little comment was made. But the work went on to the completion of a vision. Today our army is planning to encircle the globe by air travel. Lives have been lost in the establishment of our trans-continental air mail service. The work goes on in spite of bandicaws and ridicule. Sperry was but performing one link in the chain which leads to the universal use of the airplane. The business demands of the future will call for the sort of transportation which the air affords. Schools for the proper training of pilots and mechanicians are being opened. Major institutions could do tremendous good by having courses in aeronautical engineering. Some say Sperry lost his life foolishly but there will be others who will see the point. The candle elock, invented by King Arthur, is coming into vogue again. It will probably wake you by fire alarm. A former student boasts being the first girl in Tepeka to have her hair shingled. She thinks that's a distinction. Three-fourths of the Kansas criminals for 1923 were under twenty-one, approximates a Topoka report. And sixty per cent of these were in colleges, judging from editorial comment. Good manners can be expressed in many ways. The street and public places are among the best settings for them.
