Petty for the efficient manner in which it handled the matter, and to The Mich-' were igan Daily for the effective publicity ,lead- which it gave to the proposition.

And, hough the creation of a keen group con- tifica- sciousness offers, I believe, the real d sev- solution of most of our University ecure problems, including that of athletics. epar-I f this be true the recent refrendum artal was of value because it created and ue of expressed the public opinion of the it for group upon an important question. - Public opinion everywhere develops through use and atrophies through . such disuse; the moral is obvious. The e au- Michigan Union, the Student Council, >f the and The Michigan Daily, with other f sub- lesser organizations may render in this connection a service of the high- est order to the University. S Expresses Opinion If I may be allowed a few' more [SM lines, I should like to express my own opinion 'regarding the ratification of 'etary the peace treaty. T believe that it te of would be little short of a'national ca-. rticle lamity to throw the issue into the ef in coming campaign; first, because it7 would delay a resumption of the were "normal processes of our life" for at LEACOCK LE"TUR 4' SET FOR MONDAY Stephen Leacock, the second of prominent national men Ann Arbor will be able to hear in: the next few days, will speak at 8 o'ciock Monday evening in Hill auditorium. .His subject will be "Laughing with Lftcock. Leacock is considered by many to be the most prominent humor- ist in Amercia today and has been described as being a second Mark Twain, His writings are published currently in Judge, Vanity Fair, and other important periodicals. Promin- ent among his works are: "Literary Lapses," "Novels," "Frenzied Fiction," and "Sunshine Sketches." An interesting fact in connection with Mr. Leacock is that he is a pro- fessor . of political economy in McGill university at Toronto, Canada. He' will be introduced by Prof. J. S. Reeves of the political sclence department, of the local University.

The council, of which F. A. Rowe, state physical director is the head, is the outgrowth of the Millen bill passed at the last meeting of the leg- islature. The bill compels all towns of 3,000 or more people to have a full time teacher of physical educa- tion and. a gymnasium. The results of this convention will be incorporated into the next state course of educa- tion. .

I believe, with Mr. Bryan, that inasmuch as the Republicans have the majority in the senate, andtherefore the responsi- bility, the Democratic senators should' recognize the necessity of compromis- ing upon a Republican and not upon a Democratic basis. If the president then refuses to accept the compromise and pigeonholes the treaty he will be in a position of political isolation on this question,-nor will it be "splen- did isolation."

I be- lieve that this article was intended to, and that it would morally bind our government, including congress, to interfere in the affairs of other na- tions if advised to do so by the coun-, cil of the League as provided by the! article.
