HOLD YOUR BREATH
All week the campus has been in tension over
this fall's football developments. But today real
action will replace argument and debate. This aft-
ernoon Michigan and Illinois will begin to punch
each other's faces on the Indians' home field.
We all wanted to go with the team. We always
Ao want to go when the time rolls 'round. But being
compelled, most of us, to stay in Ann Arbor, we
will probably spend the afternoon in out-and-out
agony, awaiting the score from Urbana. We hope
Michigan will win; we feel quite sure, in fact, that
she will win. But, win or lose, we, as Michigan
men and women, must and will remember that the
team is our team, and we will give its members due
welcome upon their return, regardless.
It's going to be a great fight this afternoon. May
the gods favor Michigan !
THE COLLEGIATE CRIMINAL
About one in forty of the inmates of state peni-
tentiaries are graduates of colleges or universities,
according to recent surveys. Since about one per-
son in twenty-five Americans has had college train-
ing, the percentage of prisoners among college
graduates is less than that of other classes; but au-
thorities say that no more than one college man
should be found in a hundred convicts.
It is not lack of intelligence that is to be blamed
in the case of the collegiate criminal. His mental-
ity is higher than that of the average citizen, say
authorities; and even higher than that of the aver-
age college student ! Nor is want of experience to
be blamed, for the average age of the educated
criminal is six years greater than that of the ordi-
nary criminal.
The reason seems to be a psychological one. The
great majority of educated men sent to state pris-
ons are convicted for commercial crimes such as
forgery or embezzlement, crimes which show that
the perpetrator was dissatisfied with his condition
in life and attempted to better it by using dishonest
methods. Usually the men were salesmen or minor
clerks, in positions which they considered were be-
neath their ability or not profitable enough to main-
tain themselves in the way they believed they were
" entitled to. They found themselves in the rut with
no immediate prospect of getting out of it by fair
means, and they took the only other alternative.
It is a widely recognized fact that the ordinary
college man has a rather selfish view of education.
He is training himself not so much for life as for
making a living; not so much for its value as for
making himself valuable. He believes the only
knowledge worth while is that which he can apply
to the problem of making money and achieving ma-
terial prosperity. And if his training, which is us-
ually the only thing which he gets out or college
life, fails him, he is tempted to turn to fraudulent
methods to gain his ends.
The ethics of the day is too utilitarian and too
lacking in ideality. The college man should realize
that he owes a duty to the state, to society, and
that he must fulfill this duty by public service. So-
ciety invests in every college man a certain amount
of its surplus wealth; in the case of the state uni-
versity a direct tax is laid on the commonwealth to
provide for his training. The person benefit
must pay dividends or he has no right to the bene-
Afe.o -16... r..i.,ir.Q
It is realization of service owed society that must
be inculcated into the mind of the college student.
It should be understood that his abilities are to be
used not entirely to his own advantage, and that if
he finds his situation in life not all that he thinks
it should be, it is part of his duty to the public to
try to improve it only by honest methods. "They
also serve who only stand and wait." He can at
least do that.
AMERICAN VALUATION
The American valuation plan of the Fordney
tariff bill has been the subject of much discussion
pro and con both in the national legislative body and
among economists the world over. Apparently it
contains many objectionable features which tend to
make its adoption against the best interests of the
country, the most important of which are that it
would probably encourage speculation in commodi-
ties, make importation of goods from abroad un-
likely, and increase our present economic difficul-
ties.
Figured in foreign exchange the rates of duty im-
posed by the Fordney tariff bill are low. However,
calculated on the basis of American valuation they
are extremely and prohibitively high. According to
a statement made by the National Retail Dry Goods
association gingham dress goods made in England
and which are used in this country in large quanti-
ties at the retail price of 69 cents a yard will, by
the simple passing of the American Fordney bill, be
increased to 92 cents a yard. Cotton novelty voiles
made in France and sold in this country at $1.42 a
yard will be increased by American valuation so
that they will have to sell at $1.88 a yard. With
other materials it is the same way. Such a situation
might benefit certain classes, but it would work a
hardship upon the nation as a whole.
We should protect our manufacturers to some
extent against cheap foreign labor, but not to the
extent of eliminating foreign competition, which
would probaly result if the plan is adopted as the
valuation would be high enough to make any im-
portation practically impossible. Retail prices are
based on whilesale prices, and one of the most ac-
tive influences in keeping products of American
manufacturers at reasonable price levels is the pres-
ence of foreign competition. Under American val-
uation domestic manufacturers would themselves
regulate the duty upon imported goods by increas-
ing their own prices.
Price fluctuations must be minimized, prices must
be reduced and foreign trade must be revived if
our workers are to be employed and ourfarmers ob-
tain a fair price for their commodities. Without
these improveemnts the present period of depres-
sion cannot be terminated. The Fordney tariff bill
helps one class at the expense of the rest of the
population. The government is in the anomalous
position of seeking through one class of agencies to
develop trade and reduce living costs while at the
same time considering a plan that will counteract a
large part of what it has accomplished along these
lines.
The Telecoe
Which Are You?
(From the Cornell Daily Sun)
When God had made the good on earth,
He -found there was no bad,
So then He made the beasts and snakes,
E'en then some scraps He had.
These were too bad to fashion skunks,
Or rattlers, wolves and such,
So He checked them all into a mold,
Behold! It wasn't much!
The thing was filled with jealousy,
Suspicious, like a rat,
It had a broad, bright yellow steak,
A KNOCKER called He that.
This KNOCKER was a gruesome beast,
It made God's blood run cold,
He must needs counteract its work,
So He did this, I'm told.
He took a sunbeam from the sky,
The heart of a small child,
A brain from man He added next,
And justice made it mild.
He covered it with broth'rly love,
Equality for men,
He made it strong and clean and brave,
What did He call this then?
This was the BOOSTER of our sports,
The Booster of our U.
Now tell me, all you sturdy studes,
WHICH ONE OF THESE ARE YOU?
-L. A. F.

A Come-Back by the Jazz Artist
You praise the man
Who raised and born
And doesn't play
The weird jazz horn.
But I have danced
Where folks go home
Because there is
No saxophone.

z
-s
We are now in a position to give
you the best of service, and have just
installed a complete up-to-the-min-
ute Ceaning Plant of the last word in
Machinery and Equipment, which
enables us to do cleaning as it should
be done.
This is just what the students of Michigan have been
wanting: a modern equipped plant where they could be
assured of efficient and satisfactory work; and where they
could send clothing, and rest assured that it would be re-
turned without an accompanying after odor of the cleanser
used. Our dry room removes all of this odor from the
clothing.
One day service on pressing, and on cleaning-pressing
when requested.
