Historical research is proper enough but it can be carried too far. Now they have found out that George Washington was a book agent in his youth.
WHEN W. S. G. A. ELECTS
Elections for members of the Women's Student Government Association are due in two weeks. Posters, bulletins, and tickets will soon appear, accompanied by an anxious soliciting by various candidates for the votes of the unwary or the unknowing.
Conditions on the hill are analogous to those in any fair-sized community. Students here clamored, as more mature citizens than they have clamored, for self-government. They finally got it and then, with the exception of the few who are always the leaders, they straightway forgot such a thing existed. True, they vote some of them at least, on election day, but they vote either according to arbitrary party affiliations, or according to their own disposition toward the personality of the candidate.
And nowhere on the hill is that truer than it is of the women's elections here. Few people know even the fundamental purposes of the Women's Student Government Association.
It is seldom that the voter considers the eligibility of the candidate for whom she is balloting. It is seldom that she even knows the nature of the office to which she is electing a new officer.
The Association was founded fourteen years ago to provide a better feeling of co-operation between the women of the University, to foster high standards of living and scholarship, and to promote loyalty to the University.
These are high-sounding phrases, meaning but little, perhaps, to the average hill woman. But the W. S. G. A. does not confine itself in its activities to more abstractions. It does take an active part in promoting interest among the women of the Hill. It offers teas, luncheons, meeting, and forums to provide means for getting the women together. It does attempt to get at student problems through the eyes of the student who is closest to those problems. It does attempt to maintain a fair standard of conduct on the hill, working through student officers, and not entirely through the authorities.
It does attempt a real solution of the campus problems which confront every woman here at some time or other. It may fail at times, as everyone is liable to do; the wisdom of some of its acts may be questioned sometimes, but it is the students' governing body, and as such it is entitled to the enlightened support and to the sympathy of those who choose its members.
The public whipping post is still all the go in Canada. But then Canada is hopelessly old fashioned anyway. She still clings to the habit of punishing 60 per cent of the crimes committed within her borders, while the up-to-date country like the United States can get along very nicely with punishing 8 per cent.
TOUGH ON THE IRISH Irish Free State sympathizers who paraded in New York City on St. Patrick's Day were guarded by thirty-five hundred police for fear that Irish Republicans would attack them. The next day's news dispatches carried the word that no trouble had occurred.
Naturally trouble would not occur when a regiment of police was on hand to prevent it, but it is doubtful if there would have been much blood shed had they not been present. It is also doubtful if the Irish are such fighting demons as they are made out to be. There has been much turmoil in Ireland, of course, as there would be in any country which was in a similar predicament, but that doesn't prove that the Irish think of nothing but fighting.
The Irishman does not go about with a chip always upon his shoulder. He fights for principles upon which he feels deeply, but he does not engage in fighting for its own sake, as the jokesmith would have us believe.
The political duels of Uraquay are not so deadly as those of this country. There politicians fight with pistols.
GIVING BOOKS
University libraries as a rule are desperately poor. Appropriations are rarely commensurate with the needs of the libraries and the needs of the departments. The ever-increasing demand for material for research and teaching use is such that the majority of departments are compelled to spend their funds almost entirely in the securing of material which is used primarily as apparatus.
One reason why state university libraries are at a disadvantage in comparison with libraries of privately endowed institutions is that comparatively little effort has been made to interest alumni in the matter of class and individual gifts for the benefit of succeeding generations of students. At Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, and the smaller eastern universities such as Amherst, Dartmouth, the funds established by classes for the purchasing of books in various fields, has been instrumental in building up their excellent libraries.
libraries.
The class of 1890 of the University of Kansas has accepted the idea of presenting books as a class memorial and from time to time the class presents volumes to the University libraries. The establishment of a class memorial fund for the purchase of books is one of the best ways by which classes may make useful gifts to their alma mater.
OH. HIRAM!
Yes, he says to stay out of Europe. And that from California of the "yellow peril" doctrines, of Chinese legislation, the godmother of all our Far Eastern embarrassments! You would think America was created to down Mr. Johnson's oranges.
Mr. Johnson, the senator from California of the mid-winter roses, unexpected temperatures and spilled fruit, says to stay out of Europe. He says to isolate ourselves. He makes fun of the world court idea, and believes we should confine our troubles to the congress, legislatures, city commissions, and the Ku Klux Klan—at least, he doesn't believe in going any farther than the three-mile limit. He believes, evidently, that all America should think about is the trading of Wall Street lucre and California fruits—ourselfs for ourselves.
Why, if it were not for Europe,
where would our senators and movie
people joy-ride? Where could we
send one hundred and twenty-six
"unofficial peace observers?" And,
 finally, what would Senator Johnson
have to talk about? And, after that,
we ask, "Why would be Mr. Charles
Evans Hughes?"
It is reported that secret negotiations have been begun between Germany and France with a view to untangling the intricate knot of the Ruhr occupation and the question of reparations.

armed intervention with passive resistance. Occasionally, trouble has broken out; the toll has been several German and French lives, and a fine levy by the French on the guilty Rhineland city.
For weeks French soldiers have patrolled German towns, their bayonets gleaming in the stolid faces of Germans who had orders to meet
Miles of railroads lie rusting in the sun and freight cars stand empty along the tracks according to the edict of a government which has no other weapons with which to fight. The French government stuggles under the terrific strain of maintaining an army in the Rhine district, Germany watches her economic balance, tottering dangerously for the last five years, waver nearer and nearer the brink of total destruction. Europe looks on and shakes her head. America plays the policy of neutrality, watching a country strive for rehabilitation under the pressure of a mailed fist.
For several years the women of the W. A. A. have been trying, with only partial success, to exclude men from their annual circus. This year they have hit upon a method which is sure to be effective; they have opened their doors to all.
And what is it all for? Reports indicate that negotiations are beginning again. Diplomacy will meet again to talk in suave tones over polished tables of a question which will be settled only when they cease being nationals and become internationals; only when they see beyond this year into the generations to come

Plain Tales From The Hill
Engine Stude: "Well, all right, I'll pledge five fish. It's all I can afford."

Official Daily University Bulletin
Stanford and the University of California are conducting a fight through their press to outwomen from the universities. They are charged with bankrupting their families to obtain their possessions no regard for self-supporting students, coming to college to seek eligible young men, creating an artificial world around themselves and distracting the young men from their studies with social life. The women, in turn, are being beaten because they are being beaten in scholarship, and that the male ego is being stepped upon.

The World is Working for You
It is to your interest to read the advertisements. They are published for your benefit. They keep you informed as to what these folks are doing for you. They help you buy the right goods at the right time and to make the most of your money.
Moreover, you'll find that business concerns that tell you fronkly what they are doing are the most dependable. Stores that advertise are progressive stores that have something real to say to you. Manufacturers who advertise their products have confidence in them, because it does not pay to advertise anything that is not good.
THE manufacturer who makes your shoes is working for you. So is the store that sells you shoes, your grocer, your clothier and every concern or person who makes or sells anything you buy.
They can't speak to you personally because they have so many customers to serve. So they put their messages in the newspaper in the form of advertisements.
Often these people have messages for you. They want to tell you about new goods,new styles,new prices or other new things they think you should know about.
Reading advertisements is both interesting and profitable
