Most voters have been trying to figure out for several years. SPEAKING OF COLOR LINES Legislation against Ausidie immigration by the United States Congress recently, has a greater significance and a wider international importance than it may seem. It is not simply an issue as to whether it was good or bad diplomacy to overthrow the "gentleman's agreement." The real significance of the incident is that it represents another step in the development of the great international problem—the readjustment of relations between European and Asiatic races. The problem centers on two main factors. The first is the determination of the white race to keep its stock pure—to prevent intermarriage between its own members and those of the brown, yellow or black races. Coupled with this is the strour feeling against immigration, which is prevalent in the United States, Canada Australia, and in South Africa. The second factor is the growth of a movement for independence 'and equality with the white race throughout the continent of Asia. This movement is strongest in Japan, but it is growing rapidly in Turkey, Arabia, Persia, India, the Philippines and China. Asia resents the claims of the West to superiority and to the right to interfere in its affairs while barring Asiatics from entry into the white man's land on equal terms with others. It is clear that the question of color lines is rapidly changing from a local to a world issue. It is a problem of vast and incalculable dimensions, but it contains within itself great possibilities for good or evil to the human race. If handed wrongly it may end in a line-up of white versus color which will produce another war. If it is handled wisely and rightly it will produce the basis for a lasting understanding and fruitable co-operation between the two great halves of mankind. Great patience, tolerance, understanding of others' points of view, coupled with inflexible firmness and decision in standing for what wisdom directs as the right course, is needed. And there is no time to lose, for the forces are gathering momentum every hour, and every broadminded citizen should consider how this new phase of the world problem is to be met. A lot of the national political machinery will need no oilling to stir into the campaign in earnest. MENTAL VERSUS PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT Statistics disclosed as a result of investigations made this year by Dr James Naisimith reveal the fact that of out a large number of University students examined, those whose high scholastic standing has gained for them membership in Phi Beta Kappa or Sigma XI are inferior physically to those not so scholarly inclined. Doubtless these revelations were received enthusiastically by a large majority of students who, for one reason or another, have failed to achieve academic honors. To those of us who have not receive grade of which we are proud, Doctor Nailsmith's statement will come as a con vining rationalizing argument, and the opportunity to send marked copies of the Kansas home will not be overlooked. The negative relation between physical and mental development, however, has long been suspected. The highest quality of work in a large institution in which scholastic standing is competitive necessarily requires many hours of hard study and leaves little time for exercise or recreation. The Phi Beta Kappa doubledlrealized this, but he also realized that he was in the University to secure an education. Within certain limits, it is not possible that the mental development he enjoys is more to be desired than the physical development he might have had? Now out the faculty at Southwestern comes out and says that they are not pacifists. What more could be expected. Who ever heard of a faculty agreeing with the students A cat will lie before a fire—mad afterward. A SAGE LEARNS Dr. Butler came forth a few weeks ago with a few bold statements about the usefulness of liquor to the country, garnished with some very nasty shots at prohibition. The country did not stand up and cheer like it should, so now it appears as if the good doctor would like to calm down the fire of the multitude. He now asserts that he is dry, but hopes to throw away the Volestad act because the present prohibition laws are better than no law at all. Behind it all, there is something that creeps out to tell the people that the eminent educator is a riffle wet in spite of his many statements. Now maybe it would be a good thing if the country were wet, but some Americans are skeptical. In fact, there is only one man in the United States today that ever got famous by being a professional drunkard. That man is Muskogee Red, and he is loved from one end of the United States to the other. But it is a pitying attitude that makes us like the drump printer. A man that has worked in every newspaper office of note in the nation's worth some consideration, but Red never harmed anyone but himself. How ever, there is but one man in a thousand that can consume increase quantities of liquor without harming someone else. Butler thinks they can, but Butler thinks too much. His present tour of the country is of a political nature, and from the results reported he is not doing anything that will pull the votes his way. It is a hard thing to turn a people from the path they are following, if that path is satisfactory. A doctor of philosophy ought to know that without having to tour the nation, but an old saying says it is never too late to learn. The head of Columbia is learning, and it is a and lesson for him. It is peculiar that an uneducated public can sometimes teach a man big enough to head the nation's greatest school. William Jennings Bryan is traveling in Cuba. And the natives think it a novelty to meet one American who didn't come over for a drink. FOUND IN A BOOK "I hold that a man is only fit to touch as long as he is himself learni- ng daily.

Campus Opinion MR. AND MRS. T. A. LARREMORE. A lively article in yesterday's columns roundly denounced pacifism, but as one of the means toward international peace, it has its good points. Pacifism of the non-resistant type is the weapon of the church in its crusade against war. It is one of the central doctrines of Christianity. According to General Bliss: "The responsibility is entirely on the professing Christians of the United States. If another war like the last one should come, they will be responsible for every drop of blood that will be shed and for every dollar waste-ally expended." The opponents of pacifism take too pessimistic a viewpoint, conjuring no scenes of unprecedented bloodshed. The idea that the United States could be over-run by European or Oriental powers is not based on sound consideration of physical possibilities. The professional soldier has played upon mystery and fear to secure greater ornaments. America in her present position has a great opportunity for service in dispelling that fear which is the cause of wars, and in leading toward a higher relationship among nations. It may mean the sacrifice of some of the present-day concomitants of nationalism, but that is a gain rather than a loss. Nationalism of the unqualified type has tended toward war through the inculcation of such fallacies as the belief that war is inevitable; and the assumption that nations are units that are fundamentally different and therefore easily hostile. The same human nature which gets along within national borders be taught to live internationally. When we look at the wars which could have been avoided, with their great trolls of life if we had realized the flimsiness of our grievance, we may see pacifism in a new light. Our schools educate us to an ideal of blind patriotism. The newspapers pin up war scares because they are good business makers. Pacifism tells counterattack such blind emotional ap- "War Lather, and get how sweet the sound along the marching street! Of drum and life, and I forget Wet eyes of widows, and forget Broken old mothers and the whole Dark bethulah without a soul. Too much reliance in any single factor for securing peace, but pacifism as one means seems to have some sound arguments in its favor.
