{
feet, The Wisconsin Daily Cardinal has
denounced, from a purely local stand-
point, the liquor laws and declares
that they have "accomplished nothing
but the ruination of our gastronomic
organs, our tastes, and our one-time
respect for federal law." Evidence,
much of which quite likely is au-
thentic, was presented as proof that
the prohibition laws are detrimental.
There Is little doubt that bootleg-
gers are able to "guarantee ten-min-
ute delivery service" at that institu-
tin, and that the same "service"
would probably be available in any
college town. No doubt, much of the
liquor now being sold by bootleggers
is not fit for human consumption. But
it is unfair to pass judgment upon a
new system until sufficient time has
elapsed to look at the effects of that
system in retrospect. Just as we are
hardly able to appreciate the great-
ness of Woodrow Wilson with so little
time between us and his achievements,
so we are not able to fairly consider
the effects of the prohibition law, with
its introduction still so comparatively
recent.
The basic principles of prohibition
may be wrong. Perhaps Americans
should be allowed to do with their
lives what they wish, but so long as
human beings do not know what
moderation is, they must be kept from
practicing immoderation. A return
of beers and light wines would be
welcome by many and were it not
for the fact that unfair advantage
would likely be takes of any modifica-
tion, this country would probably
make that return very soon.
The denouncement by The Daily
Cardinal was made from a narrow
standpoint. It speaks merely of the
effects of prohibition in a college
town. No consideration is taken of
the fact that certain classes have
benefitted through the liquor regula-
tions,- that because of it many men
have improved the social position,
financial position, and happiness of
both themselves and their families.
In addition, it can hardly be said, rep'
resentative as the colleges and uni
versities of this nation are, that they
reflect the good or evil that has come
to the whole country as a result of
prohibition. They are mirrors of a
certain class of Americans, of a cer-
tain generation of Americans, and do
not by any means represent the en-
tire nation.
There are those in educational in-
stitutions who never thought of using
alcoholic beverages before prohibi-
tion and wko are now addicts merely
because they have the complex of
thinking it manly to break the laws
of the nation. They do it because they
have little fear of being punished, at
least it is the safest opportunity they
have to exhibit their lawlessness with-
out severe penalty. If they wish to
take risks by drinking cheap bootleg
liquor, that is their lookout-alcoholic
drinks are not one of the necessities
of life.
Nevertheless, a condemnation of the
present prohibition laws- should not
be prematurely made as it has been
by The Daily Cardinal and it should
not be made from a purely local stand-
point. Perhaps the law is right, per-
haps wrong, but time is the great rec-
tifier and no wrong goes on and on
without being removed.
CHINESE THREATS
Although acting in the interest of
his country in insisting upon the ces-
sation of the allegedly unequal cus-
tom treaties soon expiring, Wang
King Ky, Chinese minister to Belgium,
started a dangerous sentiment when
he added to this declaration in Brus-
sels that the abrogation of all com-
mercial concessions, Lthough of con-
tinuing duration, would soon be
sought even at the price of war.
Without doubt, China is now handi-
capped by many of the grants which
she offered more than half a century
ago in order to secure commercial
relation with world powers. Indeed,
the enforcement of these treaties,
while logical from the outside nation's
viewpoint, is productive of many un-
fortunate events as the recent British
bombardment of Wanhsien demon-
strated.
Nevertheless, with internal strife
menacing its national life, China
would be exceptionally foolhardy to
attempt to force world powers to nul-
lify treaties years before their dec-
laration by such means as a declara-
tion of war. As Wang King Ky de-
clares, "the moment has come for
deeds." Far from being against for-
eign powers, however, the action
should be directed toward putting the
domestic pagoda in order. If China's
"young blood" must rise, let it turn
against the influence of the red men-
ace at its western border and support
the national government-against the
irresponsible Cantonese -forces which
have f)nrnnlr~i Rnln. enfa,-..+,__
WORTHY AND HONORED
The death on Thursday night of
Dr. William Jewett Tucker, President
emeritus of Dartmouth college, and
known as its "great President," brings
to an honored end a most worthy
career. Born in moderate circum-
stances in 1839, Dr. Tucker graduated
from Dartmouth with honors, taught
school, and then prepared for and fol-
lowed the ministry for fourteenyears.
Following a professorship at A dover
Theological seminary Dr. Tuc er as-
sumed the Presidency of Dartmouth
college, only after having twice re-
fused the post because of his high
conception of his ministerial duties.
During his regime, Dr. Tucker
brought Dartmouth from the &tus
of a small New Hampshire college to
one enjoying national prestige. Its
debt was paid, its buildings increased,
and facilities improved. He brought
it a nation-wide scholastic reputation.
Yet beside his official duties at a most
exacting post, Dr. Tucker found time
to be not only a great college presi-
dent but a versatile man, the author
of many books and the recipient of
many honors. As one of the nation's
great men, whose unselfish efforts
helped to mould its progress, the coun-
try mourns his loss.
EDUCATION A LA SHIP
After two successive failures, caus-
ed by the difficulty in obtaining a
suitable faculty and the fact that the
registration of students lagged so
discouragingly that the sailing was
postponed, the S. S. Ryndam, aboard
which were more than 500 students,
left her Hoboken pier for a cruise
around the world while a year's col-
lege work was being done by her
passengers. It is a significant step
in the progress of liberal education.
A great many parents at first greet-
ed the idea as farcial from the stand-
point of acquiring the equivalent of a
college education, for who would do
any studying, any work, on a joy-
ride to 35 foreign countries with a lot
of professors who had also signed up
for a soft berth, they reasoned. But
several weeks before the cruise be-
gan the students were obliged to make
their choice of studies, and text books,
dictionaries, note books, and lamps
which would be required for the work
were included in the baggage of each
sea-goer.
Indeed, instead of the customary
'wv cek-ends spent in large cities near-
by many of the universities, the stu-
dents of this "floating university"
will spend their spare time in trips
ashore, under instructive supervision,
to foreign caiptols, temples, schools,
and historically interesting points.
They should develop a keener sympa-
thy with international problems and
relations, and have a broader vision
for all intellectual things.
It is hoped that this first cruise
of its kind is the forerunner of many
more and that the success of this ex-
periment will entice large numbers
of other students to spend at least
one year of their college life in such
a manner.
PIOUS FIGHTERS
The fighting forces of the United
States are becoming pious on a larger
scale than ever befoe. At least, that
is the conclusion drawn from the re-
ports recently issued stating that
church attendance is increasing re-
markably and an era of chapel build-
ing is now underway in the army.
Navy chaplains report the same ex-
perience.
The attendance record in the army
chapels was boosted 25 per cent dur-
ing the past year. The attendance
last year was listed at nearly 2,500,-
000, an increase of more than 500,000
over the previous year. Final reports
for the fiscal year ending July will
show a still larger increase, it is
thought. So rapid has been the rise
of interest in religious affairs in the
army that the chief chaplain is urging
the budget director to make provision
for 25 additional chapels in the next
year.
The percentage of officers, their
wives and soldiers attending church
in the army posts is undoubtedly
greater than in cities larger than 20,-
000, and probably equal to the attend-
ance in the smaller communities.
More chapels are needed and work
has started or plans are well under
way for building $100,000 chapels at
Fort Snelling, Minn., Plattsburg Bar-
racks, N. Y., and Fort Bragg, N. C.
Funds are raised by popular subscrip-
tion within and without the army.
Chapels were dedicated recently at
San Juan, Porto Rico, and Fort Sill,
Oklahoma.
This religious trend in the fighting
forces of Uncle Sam is regarded as
a legacy of the World war. It is not
checked by the widespread activity for
a greater national defense. Army

THE MICHIGAN WOMEN
PRESENT......
Introducing the Rockford Players-
Robert Henderson and Amy Loomis
(they form the nucleus of the Play-
ers) are returning to the Mimes the-
ater on October' 25 and 26 in "Ex-
pressing Willie" by Evelyn Crathers
and will form a part of the season
planned by the Michigan women of
Ann Arbor for the benefit of the
Women's league building. Willie was
so successfully "Expressed" during
the summer season that capacity audi-
ences are expected for the three per-
formances here. He sold toothpaste
and made a million and then began
to search for that greater truth that
lies under reality-it's quite a strug-
gle and he falls under the influence
of the psycho-analist, the vamp, the
free thinker-but when he expresses
his real self, there's Minnie, and the
lively farce ends in quite the approved
manner. There is a faint breath of
musical comedy in the music and
dancing that helps in the "expres-
sion."
"Willie" is coming back to Michigan
through the efforts of the Alumnae
council for the benefit of the much
discussed Women's league building
fund. The Alumnae council is also
bringing Elsie Janis, long outstand-
ing star and favorite in musical com-
edy to Hill auditorium October 14.
Miss Janis has left musical comedy
and is now doing concert work. She
will be accompanied by four artists
of the musical world, Carolina Laz-.
zari, contralto, Robert Steel, baritone,
Lauri Kennedy, violoncellist, and
Dorothy Kennedy, pianist.
On November 10, Madam Clara Cle-
mens (Mrs. Ossip Gabrilowitsch) will
appear in "Joan of Arc' at Hill audi-
torium. This will be the same pro-
duction which so pleased New York
critics this spring when Mark Twain's
historical drama was presented at the
Walter Hampton theater. This, with
another performance of the Rockford
Players scheduled for January, "The
Firebrand," will complete the musical
and dramatic efforts of the Michigan
women in Ann Arbor, this year. In
bringing these artists before the stu-
dents they are not only swelling their
own coffers and buying bricks but
they are offering a cultural and in-
teresting opportunity which might
otherwise be missed.

THE PRESBYTERIAN PLAYERS
Booth Tarkington's "The Trysting
Place" will be given by the Presby-
terian Players at the First Presby-
terian church tonight at 8 o'clock as
a part of the program at a party given
by the Church Women's association
for the entire campus.
The Players have given several ex-
cellent productions in the past under
the direction of Robert Henderson
and Ann Miller. In addition to the
play there will be a musical program
-by Miss Nora Crane Hunt, Miss Dor-
othy Shay and Mrs. Reiman.

YANKEE DOODLE
Those who associate bands with
football games, county fairs, amuse-
ment parks, and circuses may be dis-
appointed in the United States Marine
Band which will present the first pro-
gram of the Extra Concert Series in
Hill auditorium on October 9. They
will not play "The Stars and Stripes
Forever" or "The Forge in the For-
est"; the Strauss waltzes are omitted
from their program. Instead a most
interesting series of numbers from the
classical masters and from] the best
of the moderns will be given.
This, of course, is not unprecedent-
ed. John Philip Sousa long ago freed
band conductors from the necessity of
adhering to such trite numbers, and
Captain Wilson has presented enough
programs of this caliber to enlighten
the Michigan campus on the subject.
fIowever, with a program ranging
from the Wagner overture from
"Tannhauser" to one of Jean Sibelius'
tone poems offers a variety more than
unusual.
Jean Sybellius is one of the most
prominent of the younger moderns
and his tone poem "Finlandia" is a
picture arranged in the full power of
a glorious symphony of the Finnish

LIFE MEMBERSHIPS
Among the first problems to face
the new general manager and new
president of the Union is the adjust-
ment on life membership subscrip-
tions made necessary by the action
of the Regents .in raising the tuition
to take care of the funds heretofore
provided by life membership drives,
and thus making life memberships
free to all students after they have
paid their tuition four times.
The new Union management is
starting off with a clean slate, and to
hold the high opinion of the campus,
the real back-bone of the Union, that
slate must be kept clean. A square
deal. to the present undergraduates
in placing the new provisions in
operation is essential.
Briefly, the most logical and fair
adjustments that should be included
in the new amendment, if it is to de-
serve student support, are as follows:
1. Students now holding com-
pletely paid life memberships,
regardless of the plan under
which they were purchased,
should have refunded to them the
$10 of their tuition this year which
was devoted to the Union. To
keep this money would be to sell
the students something which they
have already paid for, and for
which they hold receipts.
2. Students now holding partly '
paid life memberships should
have .the $10 added to the sum
credited to them at the close of
last semester, and when this total
has reached $50, any tuitions they
may pay after that time should
not include funds for the Union.
The class of men who will suffer
if these provisions are not included
in the amendment are those that the
Union can least afford to offend-the
men who voluntarily, for the good of
the Union and of the Uliversity, paidf
for life memberships when the Union
needed the money. They stood by the
Union then; the Union must do its
best for them now. -
The ac-ion of the Regents in ap-
plying this extra money to the Union
was a wise move, and fully justified
by existing conditions. After the next
three years, the payment of Union
life memberships will be purely rou-'
tine; the Union will receive more
funds than previously; and every man
that graduiates will be a life mmihai.
