Kelly Rome, are a magnificent monument to hundreds of men and women who died as heroic deaths as he - but Lincoln, the Man, should be revered because he had a vision - a vision which embodied the real spirit of equality ; and because the opposition of the most brilliant men in the world at that time did not deter him from the course which he had chosen because he believed it to be right. Lincoln was primarily a real man, the sort of man whom any one of us would be glad to know. That he was born in a log cabin of humble antece- dents, and that he was shot to death by a half- crazed fanatic would seem to be two of the most unimportant components of the picture which the great American public should hold in its hearts of a man who believed in administration of right as he saw it, who had the courage of his convictions and whose death was nothing more than the reassur- ance that he could give, like those men whom he revered and for whom he silently wept, "the last full measure of devotion."

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1921. Night Editor-RENAUD SHERWOOD. FIVE HONOR SYSTEM HINTS The outcome of the honor system, on trial to- morrow in the literarycollege, is now purely a mat- ter of the state of mind in which the students in ex- amination sections place themselves. The great de- sirability of the system if it can possibly be applied is no longer a matter of discussion - the class meetings which adopted the plan did so without a dissenting vote. But enforcement is a matter of will, involving not only a disposition not to cheat, but a determination to enter into the spirit of the plan. Here are some of the most important means to make the system a success: I. The attitude of the entire class must be ab- solutely serious from the opening of the examina- tion; the honor system must not be made a joke. :. Wherever possible, the warning method should be used. The student who will stand on his feet and say "there is cheating going on in this room" is not only giving a possible offender another chance, but is making it improbable that many names will have to be turned in. 3. Care should be taken to call the attention of one or more other students in the vicinity to any violation, so that there may be sufficient evidence when the name is reported. 4. Every student should be careful to avoid any appearance of cheating. Alternate seating arrange- ments should be provided for. 5. At the completion of the examination each student should be sure to sign the pledge stating that he has neither given nor received aid. LINCOLN THE WARRIOR There is a tendency in our all-too-ready idealiza- tion of the man's lowly birth and martyrdom, to forget those principles for which Lincoln stood - or at least to mask them behind a romantic veil of "from rail-splitter to president." Too much of this spirit is prevalent among the teachers of our pri- mary and grammar schools. The log cabin origin of the man who has been if not the greatest, at least one of the greatest presidents of the United States, is stressed; the tragic death of Lincoln is made much of; the fact that Lincoln freed the slaves is considered, at least in the Northern states, to be of prime importance; but ft is Lincoln the man - Lincoln the warrior, whose real personality is often dimmed by a veil of romantic and popular tradition. In thinking of Abraham Lincoln, popular orators commit to a great extent the same error that pas- tors often make in dealing with the life of Christ, the greatest man - they stress too much his mar- tyr's death, and leave out entirely the side of him which exemplified the warrior - fighting contin- ually for Right - believing implicitly that the prin- ciples for which he fought were true, and strug- gling for their realization. When we think of Lincoln, instead of placing him upon a pedestal, a somewhat remote personage to be honored, but in no wise to be understood, why would it not be far more commendable to treat him as a man, as we may be sure Lincoln would much rather be treated? Reverence for him should come not from the fact that he died a martyr's death - the crumbling ruins of the Colosseum, at CONDEMNING THE STAR-MEASURER Six stars may be measured with a fair degree of accuracy. Out of all the millions of stars in the heavens science as represented by Dr. A. A. Mick- elson has evolved a formula which will give the di- ameter, or half the diameter or double the diameter of these six stars. Just what the advantage is of knowing that the diameter of any one of these six stars is so many hundreds or thousands of miles or twice that many miles or only half that distance is beyond our ken. Perhaps we are too prone to poke fun at the new step in astronomy and ridicule it merely because it looks so useless. We cannot see how life on this planet will be affected for either good or ill simply because some few men can calculate the size of these stars. Probably, we say, this knowledge will of itself never be of any practical aid to human life. Be this as it may, we should never forget that sci- ence struggles forward slowly and often blindly. Billions of apples had fallen before Newton was "beaned" and the theory of gravitation evolved. Countless generations lived and died knowing that the earth was not a ball. When isolated thinkers here and there maintained that the earth was round they were hooted and jeered, because an ignorant commonality failed to see the implications of either flatness or rotundity. Before the days of Galileo astronomy was held prisoner by astrology and few were the dreamers who visioned the effects that would be produced as the direct result of the pos- sibilities opened by use of the telescope without which astronomy, accurate navigation, and trans- oceanic exploration would have been impossible. Condemnation of Dr. Michelson as the inventor of a formula which represents nothing but a waste of time and an exercise in astral mathematics should be withheld.

Dear Noah: I have just killed the hero in the Union opera which I have been writing. What shall I do now? K. L. S. If your Union opera hero was like some we have seen, all you have to do now is to sit tight and wait for the student body to give you a vote of thanks. Girls, Ain't We Cutting? Her-Come on now, 'fess up. You fellows would just as soon go out with a dunb co-ed as the others? Hiiii-What others? He Said to Her I met you on the campus, With other dames so fast. I saw you rouge your cheeks one time As I was going past. I saw your hair in rags, Tomake tomorrow's curl, And so I'll say "Good bye" to you And hunt myself a Girly! And Her Comeback I met you at the Union, With other flirting "he-vamps." I saw you enter Huston's With a lot of other scamps. I heard you cuss a time or two, As only rough-necks can, And so I'll say, "GOOD NIGHT" to you And hunt myself a Man ! Heard at the Basketball Game Co-ed-Why did they call a foul on our man? Escort-For holding. Co-ed-Tee hee, he's just like the rest of the MNichigan men.
