Winter 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." * * * TIIANI{SGIVING (Upon completing the study of Identi- cal twins.

KOYKKA 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 tT T p o fl ( e111 flfl C t V toUinnnv i 'ndi Thus far from my life I've derived bits of fun A wee nitche I have found to con- tain- But the place is so tiny there's room for but one Were I plural, I could scarce that maintain.

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." w w THE MAY FESTIVAL-V. FIFTH CONCERT-Saturday, May 22, at 2:30 o'clock.
