the future safety and sepurity from
invasion of the Uuited States rests in
a burden far heavier than any others
shall ever be asked to carry.
There has been inaugurated in this:
country a movement which has spread
to include practically all of the civil-!
ized world, known as the Youth Move-I
ment. The programs to be carried
out here the latter part of April in
connection with Boy's Week are but,
a small part of the greater movement,;
as is the recent move of the Univer-
sity Aeronautical society in inaugur-
ating a contest for model aeroplanes,!
and both deserve the support and ap-
probation of the citizens of this city.,
The tendency of the world today is
towards absolute destruction of self,
for there are those who claim, and
with some degree of justification, thatI
should there be another war the dead-
ly implements which have already been
invented to snuff out human life would
turn upon their creators, and all life E
and happiness would be the price paid
for the folly.
The true solution therefore lies in
training the youth of the country to
believe in higher ideals than do their
fathers; to have as an instinctive part
of themselves honesty, sterling worth,
and an absolute abhorance of any-
thing in the nature of international
strife. As Coach Fielding H. Yost has
said, "The solution of the world's pro-
blems today lies in the solution of the
youth problem."

iING A LA IEAN SOMETHING
here are, it js-safe to say, scores
scores of laws and acts that so far
vorth is concerned are of little or
account. This can result because
lifferent reasons, and one of the
t important ones it appears is the
rowing of laws. By this we mean.
the law or any act brought into
.g say fifty years ago may lose its
icular applicability in the present
And the place whre the trouble
stupidity arises is that even
igh these laws are of no use to-
and in aigny instances hinder the
ral welfare, yet they nevertheless
inue eing enforced. This is waste-
d reiardlng..The thIlng to do is to
om way change the law so that it
be of use to-day. An act of
erdgty s in 'nany instances of use
r t;'e!terday. And in connection
t what has just been said it is well
inrent on the bill recently in-
nceed into Congress by Represen-
e Joh L. Cable of Ohio to amend
act requiring returns of cam-
n expenditures.
te law as it now stands is so aged
It fails to recognize the rights of
en to hold. office as provided by
suffrage amendment to the United
es Constitution. As a matter of
it has been on the statute books
so log that it still refers to the
ion' of senators by state legisla-
s. And what is more, no senator
equired to file a statement of ex-
es and receipts. All this the
,tor fr9im Ohio would remedy.
he proposed amendment will re-
e a fiing of statements through-
the year eand a more frequent fill-
just prior to elections.j
ie amendment is a decided step in
righ-t direction, and although it is
as clarifying as it might be it
perhaps be the beginning of a
s of such laws in the different
s where at present there is no law
mit to the amount that a Senator
tepresentative can spend during a
paign.
A NEW LIGHT IN POLITICS
Judge William S. Kenyon has re-
fused the navy secretaryship left va-
cani by the resignation of Edwin Den-
by. His refusal, he declares in a for-1
onal statement, comes after due con-
sideration which leads him to the con-
clusion that he does not possess "the!
essential qualification of training for
the office."
In taking this stand and in view of
the fact that he also asserts, "I have
not considered my personal prefer-
ance in the matter, as I would be will-I
ing to make any sacrifice for real pub
lie service," Judge Kenyon's honesty
with himself does not only deserve,
mention but sincere praise and admir-
ation.
American politicians up to this time,
had yet to refuse the acceptance of aI
position which would benefit them po-
litically, or add distinctly to their pres-
tige, when many have certainly been
unqualified for their office. Judge
Kenyon in rendering the decision he
did "after looking at all sides of aj
question before arriving at a conclu-
sion" has not only taken a step to-,
wards the betterment of politics, but"
has created, perhaps, a. new policy ini
our political world.
The sheep will always need a lead-!
er before they venture into another;
pasture though knowing that the oth-
er pasture may be better fitted for'
them. Judge Kenyon, in refusing the
navy portfolio after coming to theI
conclusion that he is not fitted for the
office, has broken away from the na-{
tural field where political sheep would!
have grazed.j
If Judge Kenyon has arisen as the{
leader after asserting that the second{
pasture is the best policy, and has
stirred new thoughts in the mind of
the political sheep that the second plan
is best, he deserves even more than
sheer praise. It is human nature to
follow the course of the majority, and
it is the -mrse of the majority to fol-
low the path which offers the most
glory. If Judge Kenyon's actions
would assert that there are certain
things we are not capable of, and if
his course would only arouse the same
opinions in political officials, reason-
ing out if they are qualified for the
office, and accept it only if they faith-
fully believe they are, then the judge
has truly been the leader to conduct
the sheep in a better field.

ciousness would soon grow up. As a
result, the man who carried tales of
his "parties" would be aIhamned of
then and would keep them to hinwself.
New students or even 'older students'
who had not been influenced by stor-
ies of former years would lose respect
for the man who told about his Wild-
ness.
Then the moral fabric of the indi-
vidual students would be strengthen-
ed and university morals would take
care of themselves.

RUTH DRAPER, the noted character
artist, will be presented in a recital of
her original sketches April 7, in the
Whitney Theatre under the auspices
of the Ann Arbor Branch of the Amer-
ican Association of University Women.
Ruth Draper,who appeared here last
year with unusual success, has been #
scoring a personal triumph this season+
in New York at the Selwyn Theatre.
She has been presented there every;
Friday afternoon and Sunday evening I
continuously from October through
February, and the critics have unan-
imously pronounced her art greater=
than ever.j
In a technical sense, she is a monol-
ogist in that she gives the entire pro-
gram herself without even the aid of
settings or costumes. But in reality
she is much more than this:she is a
stagefull of actresses, she recreates
to the fullest measure the dignity and
reality of the scene she is portraying.
Her present program, consisting of,
entirely new numbers, is reported to
be even more finely blended with sa-
tire and pathos than the production
presented here last year. In detail,
it will include "A German Governess",
"A Southern Girl at a Dance", "A
Class in Soul Culture", "On a Porch
in a Main-Coast Town", "At the Court
of Philip IV", and "A Scotch Immi-
grant."
We have at our side a copy of the
"Optimist", a paper published by the
Students of the Ann Arbor High
School. And we cannot see why they.
publish it. Don't see why anybody
writes it, prints it, reads it, pays for l
it, don't see anything about it.
All this Mr. and Miss stuff. Mr.J
Hiawatha, who is suffering from the
chickenpox, has been absent for the
past week.

Friedrich Traubenwein has return-
ed to school after a severe attack of
the mumps, which confined him to his
home for two weeks.

From the files of the U. of M. Daily,
Mar. 16, 1899.
A report that is stirring up consid-s
erable merriment on the University
campus is to the effect that a profes- 1
sor whose field lies in the realm of
high art, offers to give private instruc-
tion to a student who will attend reg-
ularly to the milking of the professor's
cow. The contrast between sublime
aims and humble means for accom-
plishing them is frequently seen
among Ann Arbor students, but the
picture of an embryo artist balancing
all his delicate sensitiveness on a!
milking stool in a stable is a difficult
one to conceive.
THE JUNIOR GIRLS' PLAY has al-j
ways had local color incorporated in
its book and this year's productionj
"Thank You, Madam", is no exception.
Much of the comedy depends on sat-
ire about current Michigan customs
especially since one of the acts is laid
in Ann Arbor.
Seventeen song andtdance num-
b rs are mingled with the story, and
particular attention has been paid to
the color schemes of the costumes to
furnish a harmonious background for
the action. Indeed if effort and atten-
tion to detail aid a production in its
success, much has already been done,
to insure it.
Besides the technical possibilities
of the performance. however, the Jun-
