WELCOME M. S. C.
Welcome, Michigan State For
the twenty-first time, teams rep-
resenting the state's two greatest
educational institutions are about
to meet on the gridiron. We
expect a hard game, hard and
clean, and hope that the spirit of
sportsmanship which has been
demonstrated in the past by both
players and spectators will al
ways continue.
THE MARINE BAND
The United States Marine Band,
"the President's Own," and the most
ancient of America's military bands,
will play twice in Ann Arbor today
-once at Ferry fild at the Michigan
State football game; once at Hill aud-
itorium on the extra concert series
of the University School of Music.
This organization rarely leaves
Washington, and will not stop at any
city which will not pay for two con-
certs. In order to give students of
the University an opportunity to hear
these Marines, the School of Music is
paying in full for two concerts, while
selling tickets to only one-the even-

ing concert at Hill auditorium. From
a mercenary viewpoint, it will be very
difficult for -the concert to., pay ex-
penses; from the cultural standpoint,
having such a band play at Ferry field
is worth more to Michigan than a
dozen appearances at the auditorium,
for those who attend the regular con-
cert are those who have already de-
veloped some appreciation of good
music, while the thousands at the
football game will, some of them, be
hearing a world famous musical org-
anization for the first time.
It is not those who are already in-
terested in music that the concert
series should reach; it is the mass
whose lives are barren of the cultural
influence that music, beautifully
played, can create. If football crowds
could hear all of the Choral Union
numbers, the University would be that
much better off.
CONVOCATIONS
Tomorrow will see the resumption
of one of the most uplifting and dem-
ocratic proJects ever instituted in the
University-the Sunday convocation.
Dr. Albert Parker Fitch of Carletont
college made such a remarkable im-
pression upon those students who had
the good fortune to hear him in the
first series of convocations last May
that he was invited to open the see-
nnrlnrnn o nnnrx~taaR,,vi,,a

the country's foremost teachers of
the philosophy of religion and an au-
thor of several well-known works.
For the next five Sundays students
will be given an opportunity to hear
educators and ministers from various
parts of the country, some of whom
are nationally known, others who are
recognized as leaders in their com-
munities. Students will not agree
with all the doctrines set forth by
each of these men. They are not be-
ing brought here for that purpose.
What these visitors will do, however,
is to give impetus to new thoughts,
whether the latter be in harmony or
distinctly opposite to the opinions of
the speakers.
The four convocations last spring
were unanimously regarded as suc-
cessful. Each was well attended, par-
ticularly by students who would not
otherwise go to church. The com-
bined efforts of the Student council,
Women's league and School of Religion
this fall have arranged five Sunday
morning services which promise to
be equally as welcome as those in the
first series. The manner in which to-
morrow's convocation is received, and
those for the ensuing four Sundays
will determine whether or not the in-
stitution is to be a permanent one at
Michigan.
OUR MERCHANT MA RtNE

After many months of searching
for an efficient, successful, and pop-
ular plan. for the operation of a
United States merchant marine, the
shipping board appears as much wor-
ried as to what course to follow as
ever. Two definite steps have been
taken recently in an attempt to
straighten up matters; the United
States Lines' ships, of which the fam-
ous Leviathan is flagship, have been
placed on the market for private
American interests; and hearings are
to be held over the entire country fo:
the purpose of obtaining the opinions
and assistance of as many pepe as
possible in formulating "comprehen-
sive and concrete plans for building
up and maintaining an adequate mer-
chant marine for commerce and na-
tional security, first through private
capt.'l and under private ownership,
and second through constru':tion, op-
eration and ownership by the Govern-
ment."
T. V. O'Connor, chatlrman of the
board, will preside at hearings at De-
troit, Buffalo, and Cleveland, and the
entire board of seven commissioners
will hold a final hearing in Washing-
ton early in November to hear from
residents in that region, including
Baltimore, Philadelphia, Norfolk and
Richmond. Then all data submitted
will be reiewed and considered, and
a report, awhich the Senate has re-
quested for not later than January 1,
1927, will be drafted.
Few Americans would not be filled
with pride to see a ship such as the
Leviathan coming into her dock fly-
ing the United States flag. Yet fewer
would advocate such a condition if it
were not consistent with good econo-
mics or diplomacy. This country is
full of financiers, manufacturers,
shipping experts and students of
economics and international condi-
tions who should be consulted on
problems relating to our merchant
marine.
According to the program which
has been worked out, these hearinms
should be of brief duration, but very
extensive and thorough. Thus the
Shipping Board should soon have
within its possession the nations most
authoratative opinions. The fate of
the merchant marine is now at stake;
its salvation rests in these confer-
e nces.
THE BAROMETER FALLS
The barometer of the Ku Klux Klan
strength, namely the annual Washing-
ton parade, appears to register a bit
low this year. Two years ago 32,000
marched instead of the expected 200,-
000, and this year can boast of only
30,000 out of an even greater expected
number.
Tothe average resident of a good
sized cy big crowds are not un-
usual. An attendance of 75,0,i at a
football game calls for no especial
e mmeot. Thirty thousand persons,
eNsn if garbed in "night-shirtish" re-
galia, fail to make a splurg these
da vs. The festival was an exhibition
of v cikiess-perhaps an indication
that the Klan is going the same way
as the "Know-Nothing" mvement did
seventy-five years ago.
As for the more serious aims of the
Invisille Empire, the mighty Kon-
cilium, which met for two days sub-
secuent to the parade, laid down a
ranher inharmonious platform. Sev-
eral of te planks are worthy of re-
srjcct, but others can b taken only
in the light of childishness. One can
hardly regard a "movement to keep
tha Un.in n lnniafrrnnkini


LABOR AND THE CHURCH
The labor convention has met, in
one of America's leading industrial
cities. Labor leaders were invited to
speak in some of that city's churches.
Then, suddenly and without warning,
the invitations were withdrawn rude-
ly and simultaneously, when all of the
churches discovered at the same time
that the principles of the American
Federation of Labor are unpatriotic.
Now there is no doubt that there
were "sinister influences at work" as
the labor leaders said. There is no
doubt that somewhere there was a di-
recting influence behind this most
discourteous and unmerited insult
which the churches of Detroit have
heaped upon the city's guests, and
there is no doubt that this influence,
whatever it is, is powerful and far-
reaching in its effects. Labor lead-
ers and the convention itself have
spent hours considering the subject,
and some "emphatic reply" will un-
doubtedly be made which will stoop
to the position of the churches of De-
troit by attempting to answer insult
by insult.
Labor has committed its blunders.
Of that fact there can be no denial.
There have been sabortages and de-
predations committed by union men;
and there may be coercive measures
used to prevent men from competing
in the open market with their serv-
ices; and none of these things reflect
credit upon the Union to be sure. On
the other hand there is something so
pitiful, so regrettable, and almost
pathetic about the position of the un-
ions that even the hardest hearted
millionaire must have at least some
sympathy for them. On one side we
have capital, cold, dispassionate,
sometimes cruel and always all-pow-
erful. Much of its wealth was earned
years ago and inherited by its present
possessor without a particle of pro-
ductive effort. Newspapers bow to
the golden rule. Out of the shadows
comes the dim but firm hand of Cap-
ital and in an hour the friendly church
rescinds its invitation and the Y. M.
C. A. closes its doors. On the other
side is labor and the labor unions.
Many of the members are poor, none
of them wealthy. All are bound to-
gether in the hopeless cause by the
realization of a common bond of sym-
pathy. They lack brilliant leader-
ship. They see only hazily the great
inequality which most of them are
born into and they grope blindly for
the solutions they never reach.They
can remonstrate,tand they are not
heard. They can strike, and they are
the losers. They can threaten the use
of the ballot and they cannot even
unite their own votes-and yet they
are humanity-in its largest sense.
This is the pitiful part of the unequal
contest.
But labor does not need to stay
down. There is nothing fatal in its
position. The solution, however, does
not lie in "emphatic responses", at
which capital can laugh and which
the capitalistic newspapers can refuse
to print. There is a larger opportun-
ity, a greater chance for labor than
this. Rationalism, inspiration, and,
most of all, leadership must displace
the narrow minded policy of labor be-
fore it can succeed. The working
hours are not the end. Production is
the goal. Morbid resignation and fool-
ish opposition are not consequential;
it is the ideal that counts. Some day
a brilliant leader will take labor and
the labor unions along with him to un-
dreamed of heights.
PAY AS WE GO
The inconsistency of many Ameri-
can citizens is truly astounding. It is
nothing but remarkable how many of

them will clamor for a "pay as you
go" policy in their own home or busi-
ness, then to turn right around and
demand that their government do the
reverse. This is exactly what a few
misguided individuals are doing when
they request the federal administra-
tion to reduce the tax rate -instead of
applying the surplus on the country's
bonded indebtedness.
Under the operation of the present
tax bill, the high surtaxes under the
old system which amounted to as
high as 40 per cent and were really a
penalty on business, have been greatly
reduced. The theory behind the pres-
ent tax bill was that reducing the tax
rate on larger incomes would stimu-
late business. Such has proved to be
the case. There is at present a $100,-
000,000 surplus in the United States
treasury. In addition this has been
swelled by back taxes, railroad and
farm loan payments (complete in
1927), to over $300,000,000. Two-thirds
of this money is that of non-recurring
incomes which will not be repeated
after 1927. It may be easily seen that
the present surplus could only be dup-
licated in the next two years by a
vast increase in the country's busi-
ness. This is not probable, to say the
least.

ELSIE JAMS
Now we have Elsie Janis, "Capt. of
the A. E. F.", impersonator of famous
people and internationally known
musical comedy and vaudeville star.
This time she is before the public in
the role of concert artist and is be-
ing assisted by four musicians. Elsie
Janis has been before the public ever
since her introduction to President
McKinley as the well-known "Jams
child" from Columbus, Ohio. Since
that time she has had a most unusual
career, first in musical comedy and
then vaudeville. During the war she
entertained in the cantonments over
in France, and activity that has con-
tributed much to her successes ever
since. She didn't care much for mu-

sical comedy; the vaudeville stage of-
fered her a greater opportunity for
an expression of her talent. Her pro-
gram will consist of imitations of well-
known men and women, character
songs and dances. In these divisions
of the theater she particularly excels.
Elsie Janis is clever. Her mimicry
is so intimately actual that the audi-
ence feels that Fanny Brice,aJohn
,McCormick, John Barrymore and a
host of others are present. In bur-
lesquing these characters she employs
every artifice of the actress except
makeup and change of costume. This
acting, however, goes farther than just
mere mimicry, for her impersonations
almost equal thesmental attitudes of
the persons themselves. Much of it is
ludicrously funny.
The assisting artists are Carolina
Lazzari, contralto, Robert Steel, bari-
tone, Lauri Kennedy, violincellist and
Dorothy Kennedy, a pianist. With
their assistance Miss Janis blends the
light lyric stage with the concert plat-
form, lending a variety to her pro-
gram that will make it attractive.
