Rosenblum FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1926 Night Editor-COURTLAND SMITH }; t ,, , ' ' a { 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.

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. -By Marian Welles. * * * 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 riftnnii -n an c.ilo ict-hirin QGrah am's Both Ends of The Diagonal Walk I yf That beginning the middle of this week, we will enter the local '4 H I-1 ypewriter Field selling, renting and servicing standard makes of typewriters.

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. mu_ - PLEASE DON'T MAKE PATH ON THE CAMPU S one Day Laundry Service BY OUR NEW WEEK END LAUNDRY SERVICE.
