"HE COULDNT STAND PROSPERITY"
Alexander Howat is hitting the bumps. For the past year and a half, the Kansas labor leader has been going against some rough sliding, and the final blow came at the beginning of the present national convention of United Mine Workers, when Howat and his delegation from Pittsburg were refused scats.
Alexander Howat's position in Kansas is a peculiar one. There is no denying that he has done much for the laborers of the Pittsburg district. When Howat came to Crawford county, fifteen years ago, labor conditions were the most odious imaginable. The miners worked long hours and were paid in what was known as "Company Coupons," good for produce at the Company stores. They were being underpaid and overcharged, robbed at both ends of the string.
Howat's coming and the organization of the union brought a change. The companies were forced to grant shorter working hours, provide decent working conditions, and pay in United States currency. Is it any wonder that Howat has many friends among the Pittsburg minors?
But Howt is hitting the bumps now. Check back and bite the pace at which he began his decline. It will be found to be very close to the strike period in the winter of 1920-21, when the Kansas leader ignored the pleas of a believing Kansas, and defied the effects of emergency legislation which cause in the form of Governor Allen's industrial court.
Analyzing Howt's downfall, and since the recent action of the national body of mine workers it can hardly be denied that it is a downfall—one wonders if the whole thing can not be summed up in the decision that he "couldn't stand prosperity." He was successful; he performed a great service to a people in need of service; in reward for this service he gained power, a dangerous amount of power for a man of his apparent limitations, for any man of any limitations. Then came the influx of the "Ich und Gott" spirit, and he began to hit the bumps. And though he weathered storm after storm, he got his final blow at the recent opening of the Mine Worker's convention, and now he is, so far as the labor question in Kansas or any other place is concerned, on the rocks.
Most people who stand around with their mouths open taking things in, can get them in no other way.
Spring must be here for the new adversance of prosperity have appeared on the campus dazzling the eyes of University men with promises of sudden wealth in return for a few weeks' easy work next, summer.
THE MATTER OF ETHICS
"If this University cannot teach these young men and women something about the ethics of life, then it's time we shut up shop and quit cold!" That, in so many words, is the opinion of one faculty member who has given the matter no little grant. Thrusting that he is right, the first question presents itself in a single word: How?
It is very easy to "pass the buck in to the public schools or, further sack yet, to the parents. College men and women are not so plastic as boys and girls of 15 or 16. Nor do they respond as readily to criticism. Furthermore, they are prone to pose as cynics, atheists, free thinkers,—anything almost so long as it is irritating to amateur people, and different. They believe in God, if a sort of detached, impersonal Diety will answer the purpose. They do not tackle serious problems because they are too taxing. In thought, word, and action, they are, for the most part, shallow as well as canlay. And the whole problem, as the faculty member saw it, is couched in one word—ethics. Or more properly, the absence of it.
The root of all evil seems to be a misapprehension very popular among student bodies, that the four years or more spent in college is not a part of life itself but a gap between high school and hard work. And if it were possible to install the idea that we are living right now, doubtless the worst phase of the problem would dissolve.
There is a saying, "Experientia docta." But most of us find experience to be indeed a dear teacher. The middle aged tell us that, as they look back over their youth, they see that not all advice was worthless. How much easier would be the lessons of life for most of us if we were not quite so sure that we know it all and the price of it.
It has been suggested that the whistle blow five minutes early for the classes that hold over time
UNDER FIRE!
Now that the storm of criticism has blown over, Judge Kenshaw Mountain Landis has resigned his position as judge of the United States district court and will give his entire attention to his work as high commissioner of organized baseball. The fact that this fearless judge has waited until now to retire from the federal bench gives a good side light on his character.
Judge Landis intended, without doubt, to give up his position as federal judge immediately upon assum-
Judge unanimously his duties as baseball arbitrator. As soon as the Chicago judge announced his intention of accepting the baseball position, however, there rose on all sides clamor and criticism. Knowing Judge Landis one can readily see that it would have been impossible for the pictureseur jurist to quit his position under these conditions. It would have been quitting under fire, something that Judge Landis has never been guilty of doing.
The loss to the federal bench is inimitable. The federal court will feel keenly the resignation of the white-haired judge. He feared neither man nor circumstances. His unique conduct in court and his reputation for administering justice has made him the most feared and yet the most respected of federal judges. It is another case of industry absorbing the best and most efficient men from public life.
Anti-fraudism pamphlets and various other printed matter have been sent to all Independent men and women at the University of Colorado his is the beginning of a campaign of all fraternities in that institution.
This campaign is under the direction of the Order of the Commons, a body which is officially recognized as a student activity. The National organization and a few other national organizations are behind the movement.
For the first time since an active interest has been taken in scholastic wrestling, Stanford University and the Olympic Club will have a joint meet. The contest is scheduled for February 15, and is looked forward to with interest by both the Cardinals and the Winsor O men.
"Eskimo Pie" is a Frost, Think Two Freshmen -It is Not Like Those That Ma Used to Make
They had seen those signs on all the candy shop windows proclaiming that Eskimo Pie was being sold at those places, and two K. U. freshmen finally saunted into a confectionery and decided to sample the much adven-tured pastry, or what ever it was.
They were great admirers of pie, these two freshmen. They simply adored pie, as the girls say. Chocolate pie was delicious, they thought. custard pie was more so, lemon pie was heavenly, and coconut pie—what other invention of human ingenuity could compare with coconut pie? So they seated themselves at a table, sat on chairs, and meanwhile observing six or seven maidens who were seated at other tables.
A soda squirt who was doubling in table waiting came back to take their orders.
"Bring me a slice of Eskimo Pie," ordered one of the lads.
"I'm sorta hungry, so you can
Plain Tales from the Hill
Two roomies tell this on their cuby-hole;
"Sir," said the landlady, peering in at the door, "I must object to your sitting in your room with your feet on the table."
"Sorry," replied the offending one,
"But my roommates are on the floor."
A writer in one of the current magazines enumerates some of the best things of life. A few of them might be applied to the various courses offered at college. More than that they may give us of a new idea as to the object of our studies. They might even afford somebody a little inspiration, or failing this, maybe they will provide a caustic remark if you are asked embarrassing questions during the Easter vacation. Here are the pre-

Restriction of college attendance by some form of selection is finding advocates now. Some presidents suggest personal tests for freshmen, some advise a strict weeding out of students who fail, and some ask for admission only of students who have maintained a certain standing in high school.
On Other Hills
The college queen cried three days before he left and all the sororites draped their pins.
Ten years later he was still a bank clerk at thirty dollars a week.
The soda squirt lagged in his sleeve, as the novelists say, but he went up to the fountain to get the pies. He returned, and set what appeared to be two fat chocolate bars before the hungry fresh.

Dazed looks covered the physiognoms of both the yearlings. What arch conspiracy, what monstrous joke was this—to place chocolate bars before them when they had ordered Eskimo Pies?
But perceiving the snickers of the soda squirt, and the giggles of the damnels, the fresh finally comprehended and awkwardly began to nibble their lips. Their apart still looked their face, the door trying to look unaccented.

Does your P.M. schedule read like this?
If your burning ambition is to excel as an all-around society man, you couldn't have planned your evenings better. Such persistence will win out over the indolence of the rank and file, for as the poet says,
Were not attained by sudden flight,
But they while in their imprisonment did
"The heights by great men reached and kept
Were not attained by sudden flight
But they tilled their companions slept
Were rolling upward in the night,"
But if you intend to make your mark in engineering or business, don't expect that supremacy on the waged floor will help when you start hunting a job.
Not that you need swing to the other extreme as a "grind" or a hermit. Let's concede it is all right to minor in sociabilities—but certainly it is only common sense to major in the math and sciences and English that will mean bread and butter to you later on.
Remember this—the harder you work right now in getting a grip on fundamentals, the easier things will come to you when you must solve still bigger problems. And if you take it easy now—well, look out for the law of compensation.
It's up to you. While you've got the chance, seize it, dig in, plug hard. It will pay—in cold cash.
