army, regarding the national defense.
He places the burden of national de-
fense squarely upon the citizens of
the country and thereby removes any
shallow criticism of the size of the
armed forces based upon a casual ex-
amination. It is fortunate that a man
of General Summerall's calibre heads
the staff and fulfills the position with-
out ballyhoo. He is a distinct. asset
in a public way to the armed forces
of the country. -
AXBERT J. liEVERIDGE
With the death of Albert J. Beve-
ridge, former United States senator
from Indiana, this country has lost an
outstanding Citizen who has been rec-
ognized in several fields.I
Born Oct. 6, 1862, in the humble
surroundings of an Ohio farm which
gave little more than a scant exist-
ence, Beveridge made a remarkable
rise to eminence. Working at variousJ
jobs from the position of a farm hand
to that of a book agent, he earned his
way through high school and college
and finally entered the iegal profes-
sion. On the strength of his declama-
tory powers which had won him notice
in middle western forensic circles,, he
became closely alligned with the Re-
publican party. His political career
was marked by two terms in the Sen-
ate during which he helped to enact
many progressive measures. Since
1911, though he has held no public
office, Beveridge has figured promi-
nently in political and diplomatic pos-
sibilities.
The prominence of the former sen-
ator as an orator and a writer has
been quite as noteworthy as his po-
litical record. His "Life of Marshall"'
has been recognized as the most re-
vealing estimate of the great chief
justice. It is particularly regrettable
that he should not have been spared
until he had completed a similar vol-
ume on Abraham Lincoln which he,
had recently started.

SUMMER WHITE HOUSE
According to latest reports the
number of delegations visiting the
President to urge him to spend his
vacation in Siwash, Pippinsburg, or
Punkin. Hills has swelled into the;
hundreds. The President receives
them, promises to consider the loca-
tion suggested, and that ends it. As
the chief executive has stated, he
wants to do some fishing and most of
the delegations from the West and
Middle West have supposed that he
meant angling in natural streams and
lakes. True enough, he does want
to do some fishing, but it is of the po-
litical kind. The state which will se-
cure the summer White House within
its 1boundaries will be the one in which
the ,political fishing is of the best.
The angling jA incidental.

Der Fruhling ist gekommen, and
the reason we say it with such as-
surance is that because we have seen
a vision. Near the corner of Hill and
East University Ave. there stands a
tree, a cherry tree. Two days ago it
reared its naked branches to the skies,
a deplorable sight. Today it stands
clothed in white samite, mystic, won-
derful; it has Jots of blossoms. All
hail, tree-well bloomed, oh bloomed
indeed!
This is the sort of weather that this
department heartily endorses: bright
sun, blue sky, and Old Glory hanging
limp as a cow's tail to the peak of the
campus flagpole .... All hail, Limp
Flag!
Student ingenuity seems unbound-
ed. In proof of this rather sweeping
statement, we cite the example
brought to light yesterday afternoon.
Some enterprising youths secured
somewhere an old hand-car, and were
rolling up and down the disused
tracks, much to the ausement of
this, and other, departments.

STORY
How Cheeses are haide, and Why
Cheeses are made in Switzerland
out of cream and other things. The
first thing to do is to dump all the
ingredients into a great vat, or tub,
ag it is called. There it is allowed to
ferment for a few months, and rot.
After this is finished, the mess is
then taken to the backyard and left
there in the'rain and dirt to age. They
4
age and age and Age. Finally they
are taken to the house and have holes
punched in them. They age some
more, in quiet solitude. By this time
they begin to smell quite cheesy, andl
a canary-bird is let into the room to
test the air. The process,is completed.
The reason for the manufacture oft
this product is that they can be sold
for good prices. Needless to say, theI
native Swiss almost never takes any.i

It has been hinted that later on in
the month the pupils themselves will
be given leave to play hookey. Not.
just yet, however, children. Let the
elders have first chance at a bright
and sunny day....

Many of the more sophisticated of
the fraternities on the campus have
so far seen fit to frown on the new
vogue of roller skating. In fact, so
rabid have they become, that theyy
have, in a few cases, resorted to open
war-fare aginst the rolling pedest-
rians, contending that they are neither
flesh, fish, nor fowl. Their method of
combat is to besprinkle the street and
sidewalk in front of their houses with
large pebbles and sand, and so pre-
vent the skaters from enjoying them-
selves. In sooth, a dirty trick.

This column, much like Napoleon's
army, travels on its stomach.

Sunday is Cane Day. All the
Seniors will carry canes. They will
sneak out of their various fraternity
houses with the sticks tucked up al

pull it forth, and strut about for an
hour. God grant that no one drop one

DISARMAMENT FAILURES
Though it took a week's vacation so
that the severe 4ifferences of opinion
between the delegates which had ren-
dered progress impossible might be
compromised, the League disarma-
Inent conference at Geneva has no
more reached a general agreement for
the limitation of armament since its
reassembly in the third week of Aprij
than in its previous session.
In the opinion of some observers,
the meeting is fast drawing to a close
'because thefwide divergence of views
hias precluded the formation of a gen-
eral program of disarmament. Due
to the British concessions, it is true
that England and France are closely
aligned. However, thl latter is in
sharp disagreement with the United
States and Germany because she has
insisted that no limitation .should be
placed upon trained reserves. There
has been a similar dispute over the
restrictions on .war material.
It is disappointing to all interested
In world peace that the conference
seems to be coming to such an "in-
conclusive end,." Though the decision
to treat all phases of 'disarmament
simultaneously has also hampered the
assembly, its principal difficulty ap-j
pears to lie in the obstinate hold
maintained by some powers on their
. self interests, and by thehcorrespond-
ing feeling of ;distrust heldby the
smaller powers. .t would probably be
impossible to fix, the exact blame for
these conditions. Yet, it seems fait
to say that France, particularly in the
matter of the 'trained reserves, is one
of those who:,have not shown the
proper attitude. It may be assigned
to the fear of aggression with which
France has been afflicted since 1870;
nevertheless, it is very undesirable.
With a deePseated disagreement
apparent among the delegates, it is'
felt that the sooner -the conference
adjdurns the better. Further attempts
to adjust differences in opinion will
probably be 'made through regular
diplomaticbchannels, though the three
power naval ;conference called by
President Coolidge will meet at Gene-
va this summer. Perhaps this gather-
ing, in considering one phase of dis-
armament instead of many, will be

LAWRENCE TLBBET
It is sometime before youthful tal- I
ent is recognized-especially at the
Metropolitan; a few artistic errorsI
or a negligent press-agent, and even
that tardy fame is lost. Lawrence
Tibbett experienced that eclipse which
is so often accorded even the veteran
of a dozen seasons, and as a result at
that institution he is still getting his
sixty dollars a week or such a mat-
Lawrence Tiblett, baritone
ter-and it concert his salary runs
into four figures. j
But 'ibbett tiis season created the
most startling impersonation of the
season in the most startling opus-
"The King's Henchman"-and as a
result i r anked as one of the greatest
baritones in the country. The profes-
sion terms it a come-back.... but it
meant more in this instance, for it
practically signified complete recog-
nition. There seems to be a prejudice
against American singers at the
Metropolitan, and perhaps this is in
a sense responsible for his ostracism.
But it is anyway difficult to exactly
term it. His appearance in the festi-
val two seasons ago was a sensation;
his engagement for this for "Carmen"
in the Saturday night concert may be
another.

THE HIGH SCHOOL STATE
ORCHESTRA
A review, by Joe Bates Smith.
'To accommodate the ony hundred
sixty-four musicians as well as the
Ann Arbor High School chorus which
assisted !in the recital last night the
stage of Hill auditorium was trans-
formed into a pyramid of tiers, the
performers in colorful array. The
fact that the orchestra had had but four
rehearsals while in Ann Arbor before
the program, was betrayed only by
Norman Larson the conductor, to
whom a great pkrt of the credit goes,
who also stated that it would be but
a matter of a few years before the
same system of musical instruction
that was now in use in high and grade
schools would be initiated into all of
the leading universities.
But it has been only recently that
even ,high school officials have rea-
lized the value of musical training in
the school lives of the students. To
encourage this the high schools
throughout America have installed
music instructors to teach students
who wish to pursue a musical course
during their& years in high school,j
and a system of renting instruments
for the benefit of the students who
could not otherwise afford to study.
Besides these facilities the school
gives a regular credit for the work,
and music lessons are established in

I
Just Received
"sic"
To The Editor:
The letter to Campus Opinion just
before the spring, holidays, entitled
"The Solid South" and written by
someone who signed himself "SIC,"
endeavors by an alleged justification
of a particular lynching to justify
lynching in general in the South. This
is a clear implication of the letter,
which contains references to "con-
stitutional limitation" (sic), "honest,
and true (yet very ignorant) individ-
uals of foreign and northern birth"
(sic), and the "inadequacy of legal
justice in the South" (May I again in-
sert "Sic?"). The letter praise the Ku
Klux Klan.
I can't refrain from protesting
against this letter, though I don't
suppose it would be indorsed by many,
people, even among southern students.
The occasional white southern student
who has joined the Negro-Caucasian
club-one young man from Louisiana,
for example-shows that the so-called
"solid south" is not so solidly anti-
progressive as some southern legis-
lators and students to try to make the
world believe.
But may I make just three points
against the stand of SIC? First, the
argumentum ad excitement sort of
argument, consisting of narrating the
details of a disgusting and cruel crime
by a Negro, not only does not prove
that all lynchings are justified, and
does not prove that all Negro men are
rapists, but does not prove that theI
lynching of the guilty moron is good
public policy or good criminology.
(And, anyhow,, though I know nothing
of the case cited by SIC, I am very
loath without further evidence to
think that a Negro mildly treated by
I a southern court is likely to be as
guilty as a Klansman paints him).
Second, of the many cases of lynch-
