Great gratification has been mani- fested over the entire campus with the announcement that Michigan is to have a new honor society. Not only is the University greatly in need of another such organization, but the establishment of the chapter here also stamps Michigan as a school of sparkling originality-a pioneer in the field of education. It will be one of the first two thousand honor so- cieties in the country. To be perfectly serious, however, there are undoubtedly immense in- contives to study accruing from the passion to belong to an honor so- 1eiet'. Am,,rican students seem so constituted that it is impossi- ble for them to study unless they See dangling at the end of their college careers a tiny gold key or some little charm. As far as this phase is con- cerned, few can deny that there is a place for societies such as Phi Beta Kappa in the educational world. The only objection that can possi- bly be adduced to the new group is i t "i; dding to our present over- organization. Literary students al- ' ro;ay h.v e me incentive, at the ends ?3 ther .' rs, and it seems almost absurd to consider a man any better because he received good marks his first year in college. For those who plan to enter the teaching profession x it may be an advantage to have a half dozen or so additional keys hanging from their watch chains; but the pro- essional man can dismiss them with a smug smile, for he knows that if , d aken constitutional history or organic chemistry they might not have the key either. The grade is not what one knows; it is the estimate of another as to what one knows in one particular course. The honor society S mi~'mt base its membership on grades. We already have on the campus so- cieties for almost every conceivable type of student. The electrical en- gineer, the debater, the woman arch- itect, the engineer, the chemical en- gineer, the medico student, the law student, and the senior literary stu- dent, have honor societies, and now we arn about to add the freshman literary student. That is the case for over- orgramzation. On the other side we have added incentive to study. In so far as one overbalances the other, just that far we have an excuse for 'or against the new society. ?gCIINA - Ion customs tariff and extra-territorial' jurisdiction, shows the conflicting views and inadequate knowledge on the subject. In his summary, the Chinese stu- dent declares that the present social, political, and economic difficulties of SChinaare due to "the imperialism of the West combined with the forces'of conservatism and militarism in China." As if in direct refutation to the charges against the world powers, Mr. Strawn characterized the belief that China's present precarious status is due to imperialism or lack of tariff autonomy, to extra-territoriality or to unequal treaties as "pure bunk." As portrayed by the returned dele- gate, this Oriental country is now suffering from a devastating struggle between the various war lords, who are fighting for control of the national government and its treasury. As the existing factions are constantly chang- ing and new groups are forming, there seems to be little hope for a complete settlement, which will allow "the frugal, industrious, and patient Chinese to enjoy the fruits of their labor." Although China presents one of the world's most serious problems, other nations are legally restrained from interfering with a country engaged in civil war. Practically they are pre- vented from further settling or even discussing the tariff or extra-terri- toriality questions because of the revolutionary activities of the war lords. With changing conditions preclud- ing the formation of a definite atti- tude, the United States has wisely taken up the policy of "watchful waiting." Adoption of this policy in a helpful, sympathetic spirit Is the most that the remainder of the world can now do. THE STRAIGHT TICKET Torchlight processions and bitter political rivalry are largely things of the past. The days when one was either born a Democrat or Republi- can and couldn't change one's party any more than one could change one's religion or the color of one's hair are past. With these narrow minded practices has also practically vanished another unworthy phase of our political life-the straight ticket. It is perfectly absurd to imagine, of course, that any one party or group can secure candidates for twenty or thirty offices that are uniformly better than every one of the men they oppose in the other party for the same offices. The law of averages would cause us to expect that the division is about equal, and that the divided ticket is not only a safeguard but a necessity to fair minded voters. In view of this fact, then, it is quite startling to pick up a campaign letter of one of the major parties-sent to thousands of voters-which urges all people to vote the straight ticket of that party, in that that organization may have complete control of all the machinery of government in the state. It is not only startling; it is revolting; for the straight ticket is an obsolete relic of the consummate narrow mindedness of our ancestors. In the days before people thought a'bout their government a straight ticket was probably as good as any- thing that could be voted. There never was a time, however, when the nation was more in need of intelligent choice and less in need of straight tickets than it is at present; and surely, if this is an era of enlight- enment, the voters must choose, not tolerate and suffer. FIGURES DECEIVE If the statistics in the national sur- .vey of conditions under prohibition made by The Moderation League, Inc., with headquarters in New York city, are to be accepted as true, the number of arrests in Ann Arbor for intoxica- tion has been growing larger every year since national prohibition be- came effective. The figures in the survey have been obtained from police departments, the researchers claim. The number of arrests for drunken- ness here in 1925 is listed as 138, which is an increase of 15 over 1924 when the number arrested for intoxi- cation was 123. The figure quoted for 1923 is 95, for 1922 it is 71, for- 1921 it is 57, for 1920 it is 47, and for 1919 it is 40. It is unfortunate that this condition should exist because undoubtedly many unthinking individuals will place the blame on the students in the University. They will not take the pains to investigate the true condi. tions before expressing their opinion, because they are constantly looking for just such statistics as these. If those persons who are quick to express their opinions on these figures investigate they will undoubtedly T AVED ROLL LHALLENGED TO RACE The Student Directory is out today, and anyone who hasn't by this time found out where everyone he wants to locate lives will buy one. * * C The election in Michigan is over, and the Republican club will soon know whether it was worth while to help Democrats do their "absentee voting.". President Little is back home, and while he didn't exactly bring back a dormitory in his suitcase, he did hint that Santa Claus may bring us one if we don't hang up the stocking for a year or so. ADMIRAL IXZO CHALLENGED Dear Mr. Hay I have tread with a great deal of in- terest the trip of Admiral Ixzo to the East. It has been my opinion that he was mentally deficient and I was sure of it when I heard that' he stopped at Vassar. Now here is the point. I am an engineer but not mentally deficient and what I have forgotten abo'ut horses is more than Ixzo ever knew. I am confident, moreover, that I can secure better mileage and higher effi- ciency from a stock model horse than he. What I propose is that you send us both to the Ohio State or Minnesota game and start us at the same time from Ann Arbor. If I don't beat the Admiral to our destination I shall be willing to join the Horse Marines. As you know, us engineering students are fast men and we don't stop at girls' schools. I have had forty hours of horse tactics and feel that I am quali- fied in every way to make the trial. Hoping to hear from you soon, I re- main: Kernel. * * * We are willing to hold the race, and unless the Admiral feels it beneath him to take part in such a public ex- hibition, you can have the affair, but, let it be understood that the contest- ants buy their own hay and oats-for the horses, that is-in order that no possible taint of professionalism enter this contest. We don't want the papers of the country editorializing about profes- sionalism in collegiate horse and buggy racing.

THE ENGLISH SINGERS , The English Singers of London, consisting of six artists -Flora Mann, Nellie Carson, Lilian Berger, Cuth- bert Kelly, Norman Stone and Nor- man Notley, will give the second con- cert in the Choral Union series in Hill auditorium on Friday evening, Novem- ber 5 at 8 o'clock. These singers are regarded by many critics (Lawrence Gilman in the New York Herald Tribune and Olin Downes in the New York Times) as the out- standing musical novelty of last year; and their appearance in seventy of the metropolitan musical centers of the United States and Canada this season is being regarded as equally! successful.

Just as Yvette Guilbert saved the medieval French folk songs from oblivion, the English singers have brought to light many of the English drinking songs that were forgotten and have developed and popularized others. These "Songs to Queen, Eliza- beth"-history students needn't snig- ger, they are nice songs-are excep- tionally interesting for the prophetic modernity of the music. "For all these Englishmen (Byrd, Weelkes, Wilbye and the rest) were masters of rhythm as they were of harmonic melodic ex- pression a polyphonic art which need not have hung its head in'the presence of the divine Sebastian himself a cen- tury later."-Lawrence Gilman. Their most valuable service to a musical public other than this is the fact that they have proved that Eng- hish is singable. For years it has been a major premise in all musical circles that the rich liquid vowels of the French, Italian, and German were far more suited to vocal rendition. English has presented difficulties to the foreign singers that made it advis- able to develop all grand opera and many of the modern operas in those languages. But, singing with the clearest diction possible with intelli- gent interpretation the English Sing- ers give their entire program in English. Their numbers are as follows: I "Motet Praise our Lord .......William Byrd Ave Verum.............
