THOSE ARDUOUS DUTIES It yet remains for some acute student of political science to devise a satisfactory system of democ- racy that will ~be all benefits and no burdens, or even one that will free the citizen from the petty annoyance of voicing his opinion on public ques- tions once in a while and writing his name on bal- lots a few times a year. This prayer of a long suf- fering electorate for a self-running government that will please everybody is still unanswered. Even in college elections which are nearest the fountains of science, students must, if they want things to' go right, attend class-meetings and vote. On our own calendar and during this present week there are several occasions when it is the duty of each of us to give a little of our time for gen- eral political welfare. Next Friday all class offi- cers except those of the freshman lits will be elected. At the beginning of the year, a class in college is an uncertain quantity. It can become really nota- ble or it can listlessly drag through the year, a bene- fit to nothing and nobody. What it develops into depends first, on the interest of those in it and second, on the kind of officers it chooses for itself. The kind of officers elected is by no means of the lesser importance. Who will be elected will be de- cided in a great measure at the class-meetings to be held before the Friday ballot, when nominations will limit the number of candidates. Therefore everyone feeling concern for his class-and this should be everyone in the class - should be on hand when the names are proposed to see that good men are put up. Voting has been made so easy lately that is no reason why anyone should fail to express his opin- ion during the coming election. A little time at meetings and a record ballot Friday will insure all the classes a good start for the year. BACK THE BAND With two of Michigan's hardest games of the 1921 football season, the Wisconsin and Illinois contests, to be played away from home, plans are now being made for the raising of money to send the band with the team to both Madison and Ur- bana. One scheme suggested by the committee in charge of arrangements is to conduct a band bounce in Hill auditorium in the near future; an- other is to send the players to Chicago, there to give a concert under the auspices of the Chicago _ alumni; while it is also suggested that a consider- able amount of decidedly usable cash might be ob- tained if buckets were passed through the stands at the Ohio State game. To make the two trips possible, some $7,ooo will be required. If Michigan is to make the best show- ing possible on the fields of her sister universities, the Varsity band must go along to help the travel- ing Michigan rooters supply something of the Mich- igan spirit which at Ann Arbor would be so much evidenced by the forty or fifty thousand rooters in the stands. This means a considerable expenditure of money, which some one must contribute. The members of the band are a hard-working lot, and deserve all the recognition and reward that can be accorded them. But, more than that, Michigan needs and deserves the support of the band at every athletic contest in which she takes part dur- ing the year. It is up to us of the student body, by contributions at the Ohio game, by attendance at the Band Bounce, and by every other means possi- ble, to send that aggregation bth to Wisconsin and Illinois to encourage the Michigan team. If we ail to do so, we shall be lagging behind in our duty to the University and to ourselves. THE TAXICAB ORDINANCE At last all question of disputes over taxicab fares in Ann Arbor has been done away with and a re- currence of former arguments has been made im- possible by the ordinance, passed by the common council of the city last August, regulating fares and stipulating the exact amounts together with the time at which they shall be charged. The measure will come as a relief to students who have never been exactly clear as to just what is the city ordinance governing the matter stated, and who have suf- fered overcharges in the past through ignorance of the law. Under the new ordinance, from 5 o'clock in the morning until it o'clock at night the single fare shall be 35 cetns; from ir at night until 5 in the morning, it shall be 50 cents and each stop en route to the destination shall be charged for at the rate of t5 cents. It is important, too, to notice that the ordinance is based upon central standard time. Stu- dents will doubtless save themselves any argument with drivers in the future by keeping the provisions fthisnew law well in mind. FRIENDSHIPS AND SUCCESS Abraham Lincoln during the span of his life was endowed with practically unlimited power over the energies of a nation whose integrity he was attempt- ing to preserve. But the septer of authority which was his, and the immense responsibilities which it { involved, did not cause him to neglect his friends and his own supreme importance did not lessen in his mind the value of those comrades whose ears had not resounded with the clarion of fame. In spite of the stupendous sphere of his accomplish- meits it was Lincoln who said, "The better part of a man's life consists of his friendships." The ideal of success and the ambition to achieve are requisites without which no individual can hope to obtain his full share of life. But in pur- suing the course of one's career it is only too easy to he kind to all associates and steadfast towards none. Such comradeships cannot stand the test of time with its disintegrating influence. A few tried and true friends, as well as honestly earned ene- mies, are the marks of a thorough success. The faithfulness of his friends to him, and his stead- fastness towards them are the real tests of a man's noility of character. It is such a spirit towards life which prompted the late Judge Hugh Stewart of Chicago to in.- scribe in his will the following words: "Although I am not endowed with much of this world's goods, it has pleased God, however, liberally to endow me with many friends whose friendship and association I have enjoyed more than I ever could worldly wealth."
