The Taft adher- ents hal the same privilege as the so- cialists. They did not avail themselves of the opportunity. That is not the fault of the men in charge of the vote but rather of the republicans at large. Had the republicans chosen to expend the time and energy required to gath- er votes for their candidate, no objec- tion to their ballots would have been raised by the editors. But the communication stands. It does not reflect damage on the ballot It does not reflect upon the editors or upon The Michigan Daily. It is rath- er a reflection upon the writer. Any publicity which is not backed up by fact is harmful. To accuse a man, or office, or journal of neglect of duty is aserious thing. It requires the truth to substantiate it. When this is lack- ing it becomes ;merely the evidence of some one's desire to air his views. A Diagnosis. It is becoming trite to refer to our- selves as a miniature society. But it is a useful conception. We might exist either as an inorganic mass or as a living, functioning organism. We have passed the former stage, and have risen very near to the latter. One might, by a little exercise of the imagination, impose upon the univer- sity community the biological theory of the state. Without stopping to ex- plain the analogy in detail, the various campus organizations may be assigned in the social body the attributes and functions of the cells of the physical body. Fundamentally they are much to be desired. They constitute the em- bryo of a larger and more intimate so- cial life. By virtue of their protoplasm of social aspirations and habits we pass from lower to higher stages until the culmination in a single, live, ra- tional being. As yet this higher or- ganism, the final stage, exists only in the ideal. The ideal is the realized Michigan Union. The analogy is not entirely fanciful. The evolution of the final stage can be definitely pointed to by those who know the history of the Michigan Union since its origin. What, now, shall we do with the cells of this social body after it, has assumed its proper form, has acquired sufficient strength to stand on its own legs and sufficient maturity to live an independent, rational life? Some ad- vise, "Destroy them." But in counsel- ling thus they fail to discriminate be tween vital cells and parasitic germs. The former should be saved, the latter destroyed.. The destructionists should first segregate the harmful germs. THIEF STEALS OVERCOAT IN GYMNASIUM FROM FRESHMAN Chester A.

In the issue of the Detroit Free Press for March 1 there appeared a comunication signed by a student in the university. It contained grave charges against the Michigan Daily. In it was stated that the recent straw ballot was conducted in such a manner as to allow voting by outsiders. It further stated that the socialists can- vassed the Chinese laundries for votes. These facts may or may not be true. The Michigan Daily did not restrict its vote to students of the university. Any person who complied with the condi- tions of the election was eligible to vote. That the socialists canvassed for votes is not the business of The Michigan Daily. The fact that all of their ballots complied with the rules of the vote, made them perfectly le- gal. Eugene Debs defeated President Taft for the third place in the ballot. It was due to the efforts of his support- LAW BOO KS 42nd Year DICTIONARIES 42 Ann QUIZZ BOOKS Arbor LEGAL MISCELLANY Callaghan & Co. Chicago ANN ARBOR BRANCH: STATE STREET, OPP.
