FISKE ENT URIV$RS AND TRAFFIC REGULATION ntf(o q o.Student drivers of obi e jushould be called to the stoI street" ordinance which property; it asserts that the govern-I ment has fallen weakly before the in- trigues of the stingy Henry Ford; it portrays him as the super man, theI Aristides, and as the master politician and deigogue whose far reaching powers control the mass of people only for his own selfish motives. What an exaggeration that is! It is true that Mr. Ford has great wealth, a powerful influence among the Amer- lloan people, and a master mind, but notwithstanding all these qualities he is a just man. Could it be that these. defamations are justifiable in view of the fact that Mr. Ford has been for many years leading without pub- lic interference his business, social,i and political life? The editorial states that in the Mich- igan primaries f'or United States sena- tor Mr. Ford's name was on both Re- publican and Democratic tickets, and also his name appears in both parties$ when the movement to make him President was begun. This seems to us as written proof that Mr. Ford is not the nefarious man as is main- tained in this editorial, because neith- er Republicans nor Democrats would consider a so undesirable man as a winning candidate for a responsible! office. An unjust stain was placed on President Coolidge's character when the editorial stated that President Coolidge after having talked with Mr. Ford recommended to Congress the lease of Muscle Shoals to Ar. Ford, which in turn was followed by Mr. Ford's statement that he was for Cool- idge for President. President Coolidge is not the type of man to be influenced in regard to such a weighty question by one solitary man in order to boost' I his nomination for the next President. We do not believe that the house of representatives would accept Mr.. Ford's proposal in place of accepting an offer by a group of southern power companies submitted in the Hull bill, introduced February 8, 1924, if such a transaction would bring about irre- parable danger to national wealth. The giving to Ford this super, power, station, having an abundance of re- s ourses, and the $84,000,000 worth of property has placed a most gigan- ttic project :into the hands of one of country's ablest business executives. When Mscle Shoals is completely given over the zgovernment will be relieved of another business which, will be better managed under a single{ executive than under a group of pow- er companies.

By-Laws is as follows: 'To promote education in citizen- ship, efficiency in government, needed legisla-tion and international co-oper- ation to prevent war. It is impossible to find anything in4 this statement of its purpose that has any possible connection with the aims of Russian Communism. For 1923 the National League of Women Voters adopted the following program of study for its branches. These are all practical questions of every day Amer- ican politics and cannot be construed into having even a radical twist. 1. The Presidential Primary. 2. Legislative bodies; national, State and local; the principle of rep- resentation, procedure and methods. 3. City government; a comparative4 study of Mayor, Commission and Coun- cil- Manager types. 4. Methods of making simple sur- veys of the machinery of municipal' administration, emphasizing the Merit System in Civil Service, and the prin- ciples of Budget Baking.

Still, if Mr. Coolidge was going to have a whole new cabinet, he might as well have canned all of Warren's force when he swore the oath in his barn up in Vermont. All of this oil scandal seems to us a pretty cheap# way of getting rid of them... CUT WHERE BOYS WILL BE BOYS Jaques Lebaud was a trapper. And nearly everyone agreed that Jaques, when he was in his right mind, was a; ,'fairly presentable citizen. But this night the huge Frenchman was in a rage, tempered no whit by constant tippling. Rising from his table in the Little Dog saloon, the giant lurched toward a nearby table, his face purple with rage. "Sacre," he smote the table till the dishes rang again, "what a betenoire you have proved to be." And he leered evilly at the strapping young blond, likewise a trapper, who had latelyI come among these people to snatch 1 a scant living from the scanter furred animals. The young blond was a Hans Offme, unmistakably a Norwegian. "Back to your corner, beast," he rose to the full height of his trim fig-I tire, "and unless you cease poaching on my territory, I\ siall throw you in the boiling hot spring tomorrow." And turning on his heel, he strode from the buzzing room to the wintry outside. Strapping on his snowshoes, he made h.is way through blinding drifts to his unpretentious log cabin. The net dy .dawned lright anda clear with a scent of tragedy in the air. IHans breathed deeply of the chest-i filling ozone. "A great and plenteous country" ho soliloquized as he trekked from trap to trap: ;{ All wereienipty, altholgh stains of blood showed tracos of a captive dur- ing the night. "Somebody har robbed my traps" he told himself. "What if--" when ahead he saw the unmistakable form of Jaques Lebaud, bending over one of his traps. Hans walked forward. "I wbaud, I am going to throw you in the boiling spring" he .remarked . tensely. Followed a short but intense struggle, and soon Hans picked the1 senseless body of his enemy, carry- ing it over his shoulder to the hot spring. "There now" he thought as he toss- ed the huge body forward, saw it I crush through the ice into the clear water, and fascinatedly watched the steamy vapor issue from the hole as the lifeless body . sank down, down, down...
