PEACE AND GOODWILL
Tomorrow night the annual K. U.
Christmas树 will blaze forth in all its glory of tinel and colored lights, to awaken new in the students the old happiness of the children, when in addition to the pure joy of the spectacle, they had the anticipation of gifts to come.
Although on this night the stately pine tree in front of Blake hall will signify beauty and gifts, the University men and women know with deep gratification and reverence that above all it is a symbol of gifts they themselves have given to suffer fellow beings, thus hoping to further one of the most beautiful ideals of the Christian world. "Pace on earth, good will toward men."
The "bridge wife" seems to be running the "golf husband" a close race.
WOOD IN THE PHILIPPINES
The Filipinos have begun their
campaign in Congress for the recall
of Governor General Wood.
Leaders of the movement have succeeded in getting this measure in the platform of the Progressive Republicans and through this means they hope to rid their island of what they call imperialism and establish a firm democracy, at least, as it was before the coming of General Wood in 1920.
The leaders of the country are young men of sound thinking who have been educated by the public school system as applied by the United States.
The American people are prone to look upon the Filipinos as a people uneducated and unable to carry out effective self-government. But this idea is disproved by merely looking back upon the functioning of democratic government before 1920, as guaranteed by the Jones Law.
General Wood has no faith in the Filipinos and they have no faith in him, so it is time he be removed before the efficiency of the government on the islands as it existed before 1920 be completely destroyed.
Whether General Wood has been less of a failure than was E. Mont Riley in Porto Rico is difficult to determine but, at least, the rule of the two men has been similar. It seems that the United States is failing miserably in the governing of the people who are under her protection and control.
Will the revelation that the poet Pyron chewed tobacco to keep from titting fat lead to the beginning of a similar practice by the fair sex so long as Fashion decrees "Slenderness?"
HUMPTY-DUMPTY
"Humpy-Dumpy fell from the wall
Straight down on his funny head;
'Twas when the chiefs of the world
cried, 'Peace!'.
cried 'Praise!'
That his sense of balance fled.
There are chiefs of the world in every
But Humpty-Dumpty's dead."
The cynicism of the poet, J. Corrison Miller, may be fully justified by the fate of all attempts to achieve world peace. Humpty-Dumpty may laugh, indeed, although the world may weep at the incogrity of peace proponents by political leaders.
World peace, in truth, seems far
away, but the world, unlike Humpty-Dumpty, should not consider it impossible. A new generation is rising in Europe, weary of war and striving, against almost inconceivable odds, for reconstruction based on true world fellowship. Humpty-Dumpty must have overlooked the Youth movement.
And America is stretching out a friendly hand across the water. She does not understand altogether, of course, and she is too often indifferent. But it is too bad that Humpty-Dumpty could not have seen the tiny lights of K. U. students' Christmas candles before his sense of balance fled.
Keeping that school girl complex ion somehow runs up the cosmetts bills.
DEPENDENCE ON THE POLICE
Crimes of violence with robbery as the motives—the increasing number of attacks on postal clerks and bank messengers for example, indicate the extent to which emotional doctrines have failed to make life and property more secure for the citizen. Crimes of this kind are increasing in proportion as the temptation or large treasure coincides with the pre-occupation of the police with other affairs.
Measured by large demands on them, the police forces of the cities are less adequate than they have been at any time in the last fifteen or twenty years. Traffic problems alone have been one of the causes The police cannot be everywhere at once, and no soccer do they turn their backs than the highwaysmen and thugs begins to ply their trade.
The experience of recent years would seem to indicate that crime invariably increases with opportunity safely to engage in criminal enterprise. The remedy however, does not exclusively consist in the increase of police strength. The simple expedient of imposing adequate prison sentences at hard labor will operate both to reduce the number actually engaged in nefarious business and to warn imitators that crime is highly mafe.
This hard-labor feature coupled with denial of parole to all but first offenders would go a long way toward lightening the burden of the officers of the law.
In Princeton, "bought in Trenton," is as obnoxious as "made in Germany" was during the World war.
CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS
Crowds, bundles, windows full of alluring gift suggestions—diamonds glittering in the electric gaze, fun, silks and gelatows draped in soft folds, a Japanese godess, toys. The fragrance of violins drifting out from a florist shop. Bundles, large, small, fat, squashy. New fur coats brushting against shabby two-years-before lasts.
A messenger boy, two undelivered telegrams in hand, chatting at a street stand of holly wreaths. Hustle and bustle. Faces ajow with the thought of joy in doing for others. A young girl at a stand asking for sistetoe.
Old ladies buying woollen hose and fuzzy warm mufflers. Young girls buying chiffon hose and perfumes. Men trying to do their Christmas shopping—poor, helpless creatures, there ought to be a Society for Assistance to Men at Christmas time. Adults plays with toys displayed for sale. Children intent on "seeing Santa Claus."
Life memberships in the University of Michigan League will be the object of another three-day campaign to be conducted by the women of the university, Jan. 8, 9, and 10. "Every senior a member" is the slogan. The membership fee is $50, which may be paid in installments.
And everywhere, crowds and bundles, bundles and crowds.
On Other Hills
Ground was broken Tuesday for the first wing of the students' union building to be constructed on the State Teachers' College campus at Tulsa. A dirt pit was turned by Victor Cruecher, a world war veteran, who is basketball coach for the school. The building will be a memorial to the 528 men from the school who took part in the war, and the 22 men who sacrificed their lives. Funds for the building are being raised by surcription from the students. It will cost, when completed, $175,000.
The irregular payroll is now ready for signature and will be open until Friday evening.
