is surprising that publications of the
middle west have not fallen into step
and made an attempt to combat the
ever-increasing crime tendency in the
same way. Chicago, Detroit, and
other mid-wester-n cities have a higher
percentage of crime for the size of.,
their populations than any other cities
of the country, and yet their news-
papers, the great thought-molders,{
continue to publish only stories ofI
crime and criminals. Little or no
publicity is given to the majority of!
convictions and sentences, and the
underworld continues to think itself
safe from punishment.
Unless people realize that the teeth
of the law will close on them when
they offend the laws, unless they are
brought to a realization that there is
a certain rule of retribution in so-
ciety, crime can never be reduced.
Newspapers can and should assist in
bringing this knowledge to the poten-
tial criminal; they can be one of the
greatest single factors in combating
disregard for the law.
ASSOCIATED PENS, INC.
The bringing together of the jour-
nalists of the world in a union for
their intellectual, physical, and pleas-
urable profit is the aim of the foun-
ders of Press City, ex-Congressman
and Mrs. Charles D. Haines, of Alta-
monte Springs, Florida. The city is
to be built, according to the plan, on
a 1,000 acre tract of land in Florida
given by the couple, and will not only
be a home for the indigent, a hospital
for the sick, and a sanitarium for the
jaded members of the press, but will
also be a center for journalistic en-
terprise for the whole world.
If plans are carried out, every state
in the union and every nation in the
world will have buildings there. Out
of this city should come a strong,
concerted brotherhood that will have
great power in destroying racial and
national misunderstandings, the ig-
norance of "the other half of the
world," which often leads to wars. A
central body of journalists will mould
and wield in the right fashion the
greatest power on earth - Public
Opinion.
Working separately, the various
presses of the world have been so
powerful that they have influenced the
growth of nations, have caused and
prevented wars, and are continually
changing the aspect of civilization.
And now they have an opportunity to
work together. Cooperation and world
peace will result when all the nations
understand each other, and this
knowledge will best be distributed by
the press; therein lies the place, of
Associated Pens, Inc.
CAMPUS OPINION
Anonymous communications will be
disregarded. The names of communi-
cants will, however, be regarded as
confidential upon request.
PRACTICALLY
FREE
s SPEECH
We hereby offer our services at a
nominal fee, to any local politicians
who are starting their campaigns, and
for various quite easily imagined rea-
sons, find themselves unable to write,
their own speeches. We will gladly
offer them the correct remarks for
any occasion; all they have to do is
be able to read.
We have prepared in advance sev-
eral timely and witty after dinner ad-
dresses, formal political speeches, and
countless campaign slogans and
planks, boards, and whole platform.
Any and all of these may be had for
a rediculously small fee by applying
at this office.
We have, for instance, one address
entitled "The Importance of Local
Politics" this of course, is of a rather
humorous nature. Another is called
"What Is Wrong with This Campus"
and is very penetrating, although we
fear it is too long for average use.
"What the Student Body Wants" is
the name of another of our products.
This is of the after dinner variety,
and deals with nothing in particular
in a light and frothy way. The prize
s peech along this vein however, is
"What I Will Do if Elected" people
to whom I have read this seem unani-
mous in declaring it 'a perfect
scream.'
A few of them require a few simple
props, such as a small Michigan pen-
nant, to be waved at the psychological
moment. The talk in which this is
used is not yet completed, but it is
developing nicely. We think it will
be called, "Hurrah for the Yellow and
Blue" and we can promise that it will
be stirring to the core. A few more
samples of titles for the humorous re-
marks are: "Reforming the Union,"
"The Power of the Council" and "The
Michigan Spirit."

SCHiOLASTIU EXCELLENCE
For an hour today the University
will pause to do honor to scholastic
eexcellence.
J
AM'S
As it pauses thus, to pay some
slight tribute to approximately 300
students, it will appear in a garb dif-
ferent from that in which it is some-
tit;es clothed by the community of the
outside world. Scholarship will oc-
cupy the position of honor, and in its
name the 300 have been summoned.
Their's will be the seats of honor.
The 300 to whom the student com-
munity will bend its knee, fall into
three divisions, the first, represent-
ing the student group ranking in the
upper ten per cent of the various
senior classes, the second, including
those who have been awarded scholar-
ships and fellowships, and the third,
those who have received various
awards which are conferred primarily
* on a basis of excellence in scholar-
ship, and those who have represented
the University in activities distinctly
intellectual.
It was the desire, of Marion L. Bur-
ton, Michigan's fifth President, to give
to academic excellence some fair
measure of public recognition that
led to the first Honors convocation. It
was his wish that such public mert=
S iings should be an annual event of the
school year; that one day should reg-
ularly be set aside when emphasis
S might be given to the work of those
who distinguish themselves in intel-
lectual pursuits. Today, on the morn
of the third meeting of which Dr. Bur-
ton was the inspiration, the Honors
convocation plan occupies in the eyes
of the campus a position which is
likely to insure its continuance down
' through the years, as the University's
late leader wished.
Fundamentally, the Honors convo-
cation plan is sound. It rests upon
the assumption that an institution of
higher learning should pay tribute to
those who cover themselves with
honor in the field for which the insti-
tution primarily exists. And in a,
measure, so far as a university does
this, it approaches that ideal standard,
characterized by Mark Hopkins and
t Is log.
THE TROUBLE IN BRITAIN
To the Editor:
I should like to clear up a point
stated in the news columns of yester-.
day's Daily on the present state of af-'
fairs in :Britain, as I believe misun-
derstanding on this situation should
not exist at the present moment in
any country. I refer to the bone of
contention in the present strike.
You quote Mr. A. J. Cook, Trades-
Union leader, as refusing to give way
to the government's demands: "The
government right up to the last has
taken the side of the owners, and has
interpreted the royal commission's re-
port to mean an immediate reduction
of wages for the miners. That we
have refused to accept and will con-!
tinue to refuse to accept by the help
of the whole trades union move-1
Ient."
It is necessary to say that this is a
deliberately one-sided statement. It
ignores the alternative government
offer, namely, to keep the wages
status quo o condition that the min-
ers' working day be extended from
six to seven hours. This is essential
if the owners are to make the mining
industry profitable, as up to the pres-
ent it has been worked at a loss in al-
most every case.
One would not object to the princi-
ple of paying the maximum wages
possible if the Workers would fulfill
their side of the bargain, giving as
their share at least an averagej
amount of energetic work. But at
present, the worker's trade union for-
bids a man to work five minutes over
his scheduled six hours even if he
wishes to do so in order to make ex-
tra money on his own. And even
within those six hours, the men do not
put their heart into their work. It
amounts to this: the men are paid to:
work and therefore make a showing
of doing so, but do not exert them-I
selves beyond the necessary amount.
The status of the British workmanf
is not deplorable. He has short lioursI
and high wages; the majority of the{
miners are earning more than the
teachers and school directors who{
give their children free education.I

WILLIAM FAVERSHAM, ,AND THE
GRANDi MANNER
A review, by William Lucas.
The ways of the theater are deviosu
and strange-William Faversham as
"guest-artist" at the Bonstelle Play-
house in that ever fanciful vehicle of
his "The Squaw Man." It is a long
time since Mr. Faversham first made
known of the volatile Jim Carson, yet
the passage of years seem not to have
dulled his characterization. This
actor is much of an artist in his limit-
ed sphere. He is possessed of a very
cultured charm, a dignity of speech,
and a prepossessing stage presence,
which have come with his long asso-
ciation with the theater. True, he is
horribly "theatrical" at times, always
a bit poseur, and he plays in the
grand manner of the matinee-idol of
yesterday;-a trick of holding his
head to exhibit a Grecian profile, a
graceful and expressive dalliance of
the arm, the dilated nostrils, the noble
crease of the brow,-Mr. Faversham
knows all these. Yet it is a grand
style,--artificial-but then Jim Car-
son is so patently a type of the the-
ater, it matters little.
The play is a high romantic opus,
improbable and interesting,-sent-
mental at times, and with a good deal
of the bluster of the great open
spaces. The plot concerns an English
gentleman of title, who takes upon
himself the disgrace of a weak-kneed
relative, and then removes to the
United States, where he settles among
the Indians in the Southwest. Jim'
there marries an Indian maiden of
considerable beauty and undoubted
virtue, and when he is called back to.
England refuses to leave his Venus
noire, a scene wherein Mr. Faver-
shain displays his histronic ability
with much gusto.
Strangely enough, perhaps, it all
works out into a surprisingly good
show. Mr. Faversham knows his the-
ter, and Jim Carson, if not a creature
of flesh and blood, (a possibility which
the playwright, not the actor, abso-
lutely precluded), it is a capital dra-
matic exercise, rather a novelty in
these prosaic days of Eugene O'Neill,
"Abie's Irish Rose" and the glorious
sagas of sex, and the American
marines.

WE RECOMMEND
It is not often that a motion picture
merits comment. But we call to your
attention the fact that John Barry-
more is in a picture at the Wuerth-
"The Sea Beast." It is an exceptional
picture, and John Barrymore is Bar-
rymore, so that we feel no hesitancy
in recommending it,-even at the ex-
pense of missing that sublime artist
of the silent drama, Mr. Harry Lang-
don. It will be a good thing to take
shocked mamas to after "Glencairn."
