The bill shows a conscientious effort for a ra- tional adjustment of one phase of the state's fi- nances but it is to be feared that it will do more harm than good because it underestimates the value of educated citizens and its adminstration is not feasible. In her economies it is to be hoped that Michigan will not fall behind her sister states by abandoning her broad educational policy of - the past. "' AND AN AMERICAN" On Thursday morning James Cardinal Gibbons passed from our midst, quietly, peacefully, calmly, exemplifying in the very manner of his death, the ideals of a life which he has dedicated to his fellow men and to his country. Sectarianism, so often given to harsh judgments, to petty strifes, stops for a moment in its quarrels to do solemn obeisance to a man whom it recognizes to be one of the greatest figures in the religious circles of the world. It is not because Cardinal Gibbons was a great church figure that we reverence him, but because he has stood manfully, firmly for those ideals which have endeared him to the hearts of many whose only acquaintance with him has come through their knowledge of what he has done for the world.' His life has earned him a special place in the memory of all right thinking Americans - his patriotism has cut for him a niche in his country's great hall of non-combatant heroes, and his service to the world has earned him the right to the highest, most last- ing praise which our poor tongues can give him: "He was a man - and an American." That hot little news yarn about the Hop's demise is still going the rounds. The latest discoverer is the University Daily Kansan, which, in its issue of March 17, discloses: "Authorities at the University of Michigan have ordered that the J-Hop, a tradi- tion of fifty years, be discontinued." Will some one please inscribe this story in the obituary? The editor of Gargoyle is still ably maintaining his place in the ranks of self-appointed campus critics. His latest are tirades against an Opera he has never seen, and against "the coming perform- ance" of the Comedy club play, which took place mdre than two weeks ago. A newspaper dispatch from Knoxville, Tennes- see, in forms us that a "hero of the dining table gets away with 37 eggs." All of which might lead us to believe that eggs are going down in the South. It's going to be harder to get women employes in the West Virginia capital now.

DAKIN. HOSTS TO CORNELL Today Michigan has an opportunity to show her spirit in welcoming her guests from Cornell. It is a privilege to have the Cornell track team here and to show them the merits of Michigan asa Uni- versity. We stand with extended hand to bid them welcome and hope that they will judge us not by the necessarily brief entertainment provided for them but by the cordial way in which it is given. Such hospitality as was displayed by Cornell at the time of the track meet with the Varsity at Ithaca last year will not soon be forgotten. Michigan and Cornell have each won five times in their dual meets. Last year Cornell nosed the Wolverines out by six points. The meet this evening promises to be interesting, and although we hope to be the victors, whatever the final score may be we are certain that the spirit of friendly rivalry, always manifest between the two schools, will be mutually maintained. THE GRADUATION TAX While it will not affect students who have al- ready entered, the proposal to tax all graduates of state educational institutions must be viewed with apprehension by all interested in the welfare of the state of Michigan and its colleges and normal schools. From the time it was a part of the Northwest territory, Michigan has placed "religion, morality, and knowledge".foremost. Education has, been ap- preciated and fostered because the leaders of the national government and this state have realized that ignorance is the arch enemy of representative institutions and American ideals of democracy. The tax suggested will necessarily put a higher educa- tion out of the reach of many of the inhabitants- of Michigan who could use learning to the best ben- efit of the commonwealth. The fact that it is to be paid in notes due two years after the completion of the course of study makes it only slightly less bur- densome than a direct increase in tuition, as the notes will fall cue whn the student's earning power is at the minimum. But passing by this objection on the dubious ground that the money received from the measure wil more than overbalance the disadvantage to the state of curbing education among its citizens, there is the serious affect that the proposal will have on its educational institutions. A decrease in attend- ance from both inside and outside of Michigan would seem unavoidable. Part of the results of this to the faculties in state institutions can be judged from the words of H. L. Sensemann, di- rector of the alumni catalogue office, who said, "When we consider that more than half of our fac- ulty have come from other states to the University to study before theyecame members of the fac- ulty the harm that the measure might do can be seen." Yet the gravest fault in the proposal is that it is an impractical way of raising tuition. It is not pro- . portiopate to the time a student spends in an in- stitution, but depends on what department he grad- uates from. With this the case a man who takes five years for work he should do in four will pay no more than if he had only had.the benefit of four DETROIT UNITED LINES In Efect Nov. 2, 1920 Between Detroit, Ann Arbor and Jackson (Eastern Standard Time) Limited and Express cars leave for Detroit at 6:05 a. m., 7:05 a.

An editorial which recently appear- ed in The Michigan Daily asserts that contrary to sentiments one hears fre- quently about college the successful scholar is not looked down upon for gaining high marks; he receives con- gratulations wherever he goes; he holds the admiration of acquaintances who realize that he is a human being as well as a scholar; and his is the case where virtue is its own reward. Independent investigations made some time ~ago by President Lowell and by Professor Dexter of the Uni- versity of .Illinois, have brought out the surprisingly close correlation be- tween excellence in college studies and the chance of appearing in "Who's Who." This test, although admittedly an imperfect criterion of true achieve- ment, is nevertheless one of the best available indications of leadership in American life. Tabulations involving thousands of college graduates show that the average college man, has one chance in fifty of winning his way into this category of the famed. But the chance of the Phi Beta Kappa man is three times as good. From data obtained here at Harvard it appears further that the possibility of getting into "Who's Who" is inti- mately connected with a man's stand- ing in his class. Of students grafluat- inging with highest honors a third ire m ationed in that book; of those grad- uating with honors abouit a fifth. The much-feted athlete achieves distinc- tion in after life less often than his average every-day classmate. It appears, then, that for from de- serving to be looked down upon, the "all-A" man is entitled to the degree of respect here which The Michigan Daily claims he receives at Ann Ar- bor. Statistics show that he more than any other among us is destined to lead in after life.

The Female of the Species "Do you know her to speak to?"' "No, only to listen to." In accordance with her usual custom, she walked into the classroom ten minutes late. She wasn't very pretty so the instructor did not hesitate to reprimand her. "Miss Brown," he said to her with his heaviest sarcasm, "how will you have your tea this after- noon?" "Without the lemon, please," she replied with equal dignity and then the class tittered apprecia- tively. Ain't It the Truth?
