Winter Marguerite Zilske the same direction. At the presentI time at Washington, the drys are pleading with the federal government to supply money to enforce the pro- hibition laws. The sooner that these agencies realize that law enforcement is not a matter of money, but of the whole spirit of the nation, the more nearly they will approach the desiredI goal. To advocate law enforcement in the abstract, for the mere principle of enforcement, is fundamentally wrong; to plead for respect of law be- cause of the social principle involved comes very close to the ideal view- point-that of law as a protective1 agency. THE SPY Holding bhe honor system, as oper-1 ated at Cornell university, responsible for much more evil than good, the, Cornell Sun has listed eight accusa- tions which it claims prove the sys- tem radicallly wrong. The assertion is made that the honor system is based on an undesirable trait of hu- man nature-that of spying upon andl reporting other students. The surprising ,part of the argn- ment is that no cognizance is taken of a trait which should be a part of all human nature, particularly of that of cultured college students,-honor. All society enjoys a certain degree of honor, even the criminal has a code which he will not violate; but students have not enough honor, according to the Sun, to live up to the rules which they know are created for their own good. They will not report students who are infringing upon what should be part of the students' code of honor. A man reports another whom he suspects of having entered his house or whom he sees attempting to steal something of his. It is human nature to have such a person punished, and no one would ever accuse the man who made such a report of having humored an undesirable trait in hu- man nature. Yet, the Sun implies that a student who reports another student for cheating in an examina- tion is cultivating that undesirable trait. There does not seem to be any great difference between the two types of spying and reporting, and yet that is the argument upon which the Sun bases its accusations. Other accusations have for their foundation merely administrative de- fects in the system, and if some changes were made, these would probably be overcome. At least, a code should not be condemned merely because of a few flaws in its methods of procedure, particularly whew the' main object seems to come from ani incorrect accusation. Surely some form of honor exists among univer- loom nAL v ED ALL ABOUT IS'k:IIRY FIELD a p " r i[ยข v rr rn r r n n r n n r r r r in i a r n i r r n r r rr a r m i i ar a vi We daresay that for the Northwest- ern game in 1927 the new arena will be a soup bowl.

But as there were three cars there alto- gether, there was not much privacy. On top of this, along came a gentle- man who apparently had no sense of the fitness of things. He insisted upon going up to each auto and holding conversation with the occupants. "Pardon me," he said, "but it you'll just give me all your valuables I'll go right away and leave you alone." And to make sure that no one would take him wrong or consider him rude, he carried in his right hand a small Colt automatic. So the occupants of the car', who did not want to be bothered since they had come all the way down to Ferry field for solitude, did as he bid and then he proceeded to the next car and so on, until all three had bribed him sufficiently to- make sure that he would leave them. The moral of this little story is obvious: Whereas all these new- fangled parking places may be more original, and all that sort of thing, anyone who is not a smart Aleck will see right away that in spite of all the jokes about it the right place to go in spring is the Boulevard. SPEED So excited were the stands at the opening of the local baseball season at Ferry field recently, that they sud- dlenly burst into flame. Seeing this, two noble students put the conflagra- tion out by means of a hose which happened to be handy. Seeing this the officers of the athletic association called upon the fire department. The fire having been put out by the first half of the second inning, the local smoke eaters arrived in time to see the players and the crowds leaving the field, whereupon they became much excited and got out all their apparatus. Their disappointment at not only missing the fire, but also the MUSIC AND DRAMA TOMORROW NIGHT: "What Price Glory" by Maxwell Anderson and Lawrence Stallings in the Whitney theatre at 8:15 o'clock. * * * THE CITY OF GOD Sir: I came to a lazy profane and hum- ble city a short time ago. Do you know Washington? Gold lace and titled dignitaries: a city with wisteria upon its brain, with a flesh of marble: the illuminated cones of great spires: blue nights pro- foundly quiet, given over to the negroes and to the aristocrats: bridg-I es guarded by granite griffins and gi- gantic eagles bearing shields in their beaks: where the vices of yesterday are revered and the vices of today are respected: the faint pink of cherry blossoms in early dawn, and red pa- vilions stretching down to basis of blue waters: files of prancing cobs with their attendant grooms: the race- track betting; feline blackamoors: dog-shows: and the Peacock room in the Freer gallery: and the Italian moderns with economy of tone and freshness of perception ranged through the spacious halls of the Smithsonian: the florid tangle of iron balustrade before old houses with lighting offered by clusters of crystal chandaliers: hydrangea and damp cellars sending out their perfumes: and the flags and the uniforms!

KOYKKA "As Great Britain is heralding to the world that we are a sordid people, let the world understand that the wealth she gathered to herself at the close of the war is not to be compared to any amount that-she could have been called upon to pay to the United States under her debt agreement. One million, six hundred and seven thousand square miles of terri- tory passed to the control of Great Britain after the war. The United States waived all claim to reparations. When it came to a division of the territory of the conquered nations, the United States was careful' to make it clearly understood that we sought no territory. And finally, in making a settlement with Great Britain we forgave that country $3,500,000,000 of its debt figured on the basis of what the American taxpayer is called upon to pay as the difference in interest on American Liberty bonds and the interest on the British settle- ment."-Senator Borah.

AtI the present time, the restrictive at- titude is held almost universally, and if any one cause can be assigned for the so-called epidemic of crime which the country is undergoing, this fact is responsible. A comparatively simple analysis of the function of law will show clearly the error in this viewpoint. The law is not the body of restrictions placed upon the individual, but rather the standard of conduct which society re-E quires from its members for its own protection. If the only excuse for our complicated legal system were the limiting phase which it imposes upon society, the burden on the in- dividual would soon become insup- portable and be thrown aside. It is no wonder, then, when this viewpoint is held, that people break the law in such a careless manner.
