The proclamation, issued ,pon the recommendation of former )ecretary Denby and Secretary Weeks, 'while it restores citizenship to post- war deserters, does not remit or com- l ,tc the court martial passed upon these men. Ex-Secretary Denby has described hem as men who were mere boys at. lhe time of their desertion; that they were not able to realize the terrible "ou.,equence of their offences and per- onal shame which it involved. He has lO spoken of the sentences imposed ilpon I eie h:arsh and severe. The sentences were harsh. True, these men deserted, but their desertion did not place our land in a dangerous position. America had been victorious and the folly of a few homesick men meant nothing else than violation of military discipline. President Cool- idge believes the sentences were harsh and that is the reason for his pardon- ing of them. The war is over, and making a-man-without-a-country out -f this sort of deserter, would only act as a reminder of evil times and as a means of stirring up otherwise avoid- able animosity toward the government. The president has acted wisely in this case for he has foresight enough to see .hat no good could possibly come of keeping these men from the bonds of citizenship.

In ny sect or class it is inevitable that hose of superior talent or intelligence' will ascend on the shoulders of their fellows to places of power and re- sponsibility. Power in its turn intro- l"uces control over luxurious conveni- ences and finer. enjoyments. Is there then a remedy? Possibly there is one to be discerned in the ife and death of Mr. Loose. Much hue and cry has been raised over the wasting of patrimonies by the heirs of wealthy men. No doubt exists that' those- sums diverted to the masses would materially aid multitudes of °'lildren in securing a happy and use- ful manhood or wonfanhood. The in- heritance tax is slicing enormous holes n large legacies, but charity funds are non-taxable. Would it not be entirely feasible and practicable for men who will great fortunes to reduce the amount taxable by giving sums and, establishing funds for charity so that the tax would be negligible and the imount to be given to the heir practic- thy the same? Ti' last is merely a suggestion: there is no fundamentally human rea- son why larger portions of exceedingly' wealthy men's estates should not be no employed. Such a course is both 'iuman and Christian. Perhaps the path broken by Carnegie, Rockefeller and more recently, Mr. Loose, will in time be followed by all men who amass extraordinary fortunes. Twenty-Five Years Ago At Michigan irom te files of the U. 'of M. Dally, March 18, 1899. M. H. Carmody last night won the annual oratorical contest.As has us-i -ally been the case, the man securing (i'rst in delivery won the contest. Mr. 'armody spoke on "Patrick Henry." The list of entries for the 'Varsity meet this afternoon and evening is un- isually large and comprises the best athletes in college. The wrestling, boxingcand fencing bouts will begin at 3 o'clock sharp and the track events will be run off tonight. '1lous to suggest a full four-year col- 'ege course for every man. Activities nean little in comparison with the -reparation for the work of a lifetime. But we would advise those men who are reaching the peak of their activi- ties to consider conditions carefully. By entering a professional school they may endanger themselves in their studies, or be lost to their activities. Some exceptional students can carly on in both fields-but they are not in the majority. - If a student can spare the time and money, let him look well into the ad- vantages of spending his full four years in the college, remembering that for the average student activities must be undergraduate and collegiate. (Continued from Page One) all indications should be more beau- tiful than ever. In addition there will be numerous tuneful musical numbers Great care is being taken to pro- duce atmospheric lighting effects fox the display of the two settings and the brilliant costumes. Much time has I been spent on the color combinations which will be produced by overhead lights, reflectors, colored bunch lightE on the sides and spots from the gallery and wings. Professor Brumm of the journalism department will have complete charge of the production as in past years while Helen Brown is general chair- man of the various committees., The scores of "Thank You, Madam" are on sale this week at the University Music house; at Graham's, Wahr's, and Slater's bookstores. They will also be sold during the performances at the Whitney Theatre. They con- ,ain the seventeen numbers of the play and have a colored cover of the same design as the posters. The scores sell for two dollars a copy. -E. L. have come out bitter, bitter, bitter. Witness this: HTNVRY FOR LNOWLEEI)(E By A. B. A. The argument usually put forth by these 9,500 students who do not trouble themselves to "welcome" or "send off" the football team, or show their ap- preciation of the gift of the Alumni- the Michigan Union-by completing the pool, and are content to see their swimming team beaten by every team in the Conference for want of a satis- factory place to practice, or when their football team has a bad year or two as in 1918-19, start the "down with Yost talk" and leave the Alumni the job of bringing material to Michigan with which to build up a football team,--is that Michigan men are too "hungry for knowledge" to be concerned with such trifles. However, the same 9,500 are on their toes at ten minutes of twelve every day bustling in their seats, interrupting the lectures and getting ready for the dash to the boarding house for the noon meal. Hungry for knowledge : -well, maybe-- Very depressing indeed. * * *ri i rr : i ; of i 1 I ! i rI "THE LAUGHING LADY," a review by Robert Henderson. When Ethel Barrymore opened in New York with Sutro's "The Laughing Lady" she received a most terrible panning from the large majority of critics. With one voice they ' pro- nounced the play conventional, hack- neyed, and unconvincing, while they egreed that the lady herself was stagey and stereotyped. But the play was a success, nevertheless, and it is an even greater success on the road. it presents Ethel as the public likes her, and after all, that is what counts in the theatre. Personally "The Laughing Lady" seemed to me by all odds the most satisfying vehicle the actress has re- cently appeared in, and I have seen her iii some five different parts. It is true that the play for the most part is the usual English drawing-room com- edy of manners, but it mounts defin- itely to a very tense, repressed climax, and what is more important, stopsf there. And what is still more import- ant, it shows no signs of mock her- oics or such a silly conclusion as blot- ted the perfections of "Declassee." j FROM THE DAILY Discussion of "The New School of Business Administration," by Prof. Edm'und E.

Edgar Guest, the lad that runs the 1col for the Free Press, is getting out a natty "Corner" every week. It's a page that teaches the young folk to write poetry. Thus Edgar says: The prize verse this week is by John N. Jenney, Mt. Clmens, 1111ish. In pleasant and varied metre, John's work deserves praise, although his verse does not sound entirely sincere. Do not allw alliteration to exercise too much influence over your inspira- tion, John. In another part of the page, how- ever, the genial Mr. Guest chats a little too glibly about Tasso and Petrarch and Keats and Michel Angelo. ... ** * Letter to Cowles 'My dear Mr. Cowles, We have with us a seasoned col- leger.
