FRANCE RECEDES
Fron the latest developments in
the tariff controversy between France
and the United States it seems that
that nation will eventually accede to
the requests of the United States and
formulate a flexible tariff regulation,
similar to our own, where the chief
executive has the power to raise or
lower tariff duties as the cost of pro-
duction rises or falls. All in all this
seems to be a satisfactory arrange-
ment, with the appointment of a joint
commission for the consideration of
the schedules assured, and the United
States seemingly tractable to any just
solution.
One thing discouraging through the,
whole affair, however, is the fact that
through it all the French and Ameri-
cans have consistently avoided the
question of a tariff from the theoreti-
cal standpoint, and have considered
the immediate needs of the present
hour to be the paramount considera-
tion. Present needs are vital, to be
sure, but when contrasted to the wel-
fare of nations through a longer pe-
riod, and the whole principle upon
which so large a part of our econ-
omic structure rests, they become
rather insignificant.
It is a rude condemnation of our
system of theoretical economics and
technical investigation which the ex-
perts of the two nations have madeI
when they refuse to indulge in a dis-
cussion of the problem from the sheer
theoretical standpoint. If scholastic
attainment, scientific research and
hypothetical propositions are ever to
play a real part in human affairs it is
time that the so-called experts of the
great powers ceased to consider the
exact quty on a pound or yard c
goods and got down to a fundamental
investigation of whether or not the
whole fabric of international tariffs
worthy of maintenance.
BLOCKING ADVANCEMEiNT
Various reports have been received
regarding the mistreatment of the
Choctaw nation in Mississippi by a
certain class of whites in that region.
The abuse has not been exceptional in
character but it has been sufficien'
.prevalent to discourage the Indians
from any further attempts at ad-
V4ncement, according to the board
of Indian commissioners. The situa-
+4nn of tho hn - ,ot n-n, lin t nont on anv i
If he chose to sell his own product
he has been offered a price lower
than that of regular customers, and
if he has turned it over to a white
farmer he has been given in most
cases a price below market value.
Shrewd deals by white tradesmen by
which a horse or a cow is taken back
after it has been nearly all paid for
have contributed their share to the
general unrest. With all of these
factors equal the Indian who is a ten-
ant farmer has much poorer equip-
ment and knowledge with which to
operate than has the average white.
The domestic conditions are also re-
ported to be in poor condition.
It would be poor sportsmanship if
this state were allowed to proceed
without remedy, but it would seem to
be vastly poorer economics and policy
to fail in correction. The Indian prob-
lem has always been a difficult one,
and has attained its present position
only through the utmost diplomacy
and tact. To sacrifice what has gone
before through inattention is folly.
TfE OPIUM TRADE
The trade in opium has assumed
proportions which have left them out-
side of the control of the various na-
tions which are vitally effected. For
the last two years these countries in
Europe have taken all of the meas-
ures which they deemed effective in
the matter without avail. The trade
has affected the economic and the
moral standing of the countries.
The League of Nations is consider-
ing the plans which have been placed
before the assembly. These plans in-
clude almost every kind of control
and t'aboo which is known today as an
effective measure. And out of these
plans they hope to evolve one which
will work.
The plan proposed by Italy is the
one that at present is meeting the
League's approval. It provides for the
control of the limited output which
was achiekved by the Geneva and
Hague conventions a few years ago.
By an elaborate system of licensing
of all of the steps from the raw ma-
terial to the sale the plan will
eliminate much of the illicit sale and
will provide a reasonably accurate
check on the drug. The League's
favorable action on this plan will be
a step in the right direction.

MARItKS1WANSHIP I
To the Editor:
The Daily has recently complained
editorially about the poor marks-
manship of the national prohibition
forces. With this suggestion one is
compelled to agree, both upon the
obvious grounds of public economy
and upon the further ground of hu-
man sympathy. The spectacle of a
Maryland farmer lying fatally (or, as
contended by the State, slightly)
wounded during even the short pe-
riod necessary for the dry agent to re-
load his weapon, advance through the
smoke, and to humanely put an end to
his suffering, is one which one does
not care to contemplate. Of course a
bootlegger living in defiance of the
constitution can hardly expect to live
in its protection or (being guilty of a
crime punishable by fine or imprison-
ment) to die i peace.
Sme years ago in our capital city
one of our agents in the diligent pur-
suit of a bootlegger shot, in the head,
a senator who was walking near the
capitol. His poor marksmanship not
only caused the senator needless in-
convenience of being in doubt for
some time as to whether he would be
senator or martyr, but comforted the
wets who rejoiced greatly that the
bootlegger got away and gave publi-
city to this technieal violation of the
law by the agents in shooting a sena-
tor not suspected of bootlegging.
Finally, when we consider that of
the 200 alleged "innocent" victims of
the agents in the past few years, many
were natives of such wet places as
New York,, Detroit, and Maryland, and
none of them had been proved inno-
cent by a jury, we may estimate that
not more than 50 supporters of the
Volstead act were killed in this great
struggle to enforce the Volstead act.
Others (i.e., those opposing the Vol-
stead act) are not entitled to the pro-I
tection of the law. When we consider
the thousands killed in freeing the
Negro and elevating him to the Nordic
level, and the millions killed in estab-
lishing Democracy upon every portion
of this earth, we see that 51 (with
W. B. Wheeler) is not too many hon-
est lives to spend in obtaining the tre-
menduous benefits of prohibition for'
the U. S. A. and in demonstrating the
possibility of a free and intelligent
people governing themselves.

GET
PROFESSOR
While Professor Jack, uncrowneu
head of the rhetoric department,
languishes in far-off Scotland in spite-
of all efforts in his behalf, no doubtj
President Little has all the feeling of
a student whose application for a
driving permit has been refused.
, , s
Evidently the whole matter has as-
sumed such proportions that no one
man can solve the problem of gettingt
Professor Jack to his appointed resi-
dence. And so Rolls is now issuing a
challenge to the whole campus. We
are in search of the man who can get
for us the unfortunate professor. t
* * s
The successful person shall not go
unrewarded. Not only the plaudits of
glory but a fitting award will be turn-.
ed over to the one who proves himself
the biggest man on campus.7
* * s
The contest is open to all, and will
begin at once. There is no limit to'
the number of attempts that may be'
made to win the prize. The award,
judges, and other details will be de-
cided upon and announced as soon as
possible. All 'suggestions should be'
mailed at once to the Press build-'
ing.
* * *
In order to give the contest a prop-'
er sendoff, we are hereby making a'
few sample suggestions of our own.
These will, however, not be entered
in the contest.
* * *
ROLLS OWN
GET-PROFESSOR-JACK
CONTEST
(Simple Sample Suggestions)
No. 1. Give the professor an aero-
plane and send him on a round-the-
world tour. When he reaches Amer-
ica he can give up the ship.
No. 2. Fit out a rhetoric laboratory
for the new professor's personal use,
so lie can be registered as a graduate
student.
No. 3. Send some other professor,
who is tired of teaching and would
just as soon go to live in Scotland,
in trade for Professor Jeack.

CAMPUS CHATTERINGS I
"With Publicity raring to go
and a balky radio saying 'No!
No!'," declared the irrepressible
instructor, "I am willing to wag-
er that on the next Polar expedi-
tion there will be two dozen
radio sets in reserve."
* * *
IT HURTS ME MORE
THAN IT DOES YOU
Brotherly love is all that saves the
students from the long walk down-
town to consult their bankers, accord-
ing to the statement of one of the
several vice-presidents of one of the
banks conducting a campus branch-.
It is extremely difficult for us to
imagipne any of the cold-blooded fra-
ternity displaying such untoward sen-
timent, especially after his monthly
depredations on our bank account.
I Perhaps we really ought to apologize
for some of our past opinions.
l s* *s
But at least we hate to be a burden
to anyone, and so, to relieve the mind
of our big-hearted banker, we, will
take immediate steps to relieve him of
a small part of his worries.
- OUT OF THE FRYING PAN
A noticeable increase in the num-
ber of student marriages is the pre-
diction of various faculty members,
as a direct result o the automo}.
ban._
* * *
Since the announcement that per-
mits will not be denied married stu-
dents, the general expectation is that
a large number of "on the verge"
cases will take the fatal leap.
"I can't blame them at all," declar-
ed Harry Jipp, Aean of the college of
tonsorial surgery. "And in after
years, if any doubts arise, they will
always have some definite reason to
look back upon and blame. I wish I'
had such a reason."
* * *
Professor George Glump, faculty
pessimist, was no more cheerful than
usual. "A student who marries to
escape the auto ban," he declared,
"must have a distorted idea of per-
sonal liberty."I

°"THE; BAD MAN"
A review by JaimesPolling
If I may be so bold as to contradict
Shakespeare, "the play is not the
thing." At least not in "'he Bad
Man." There the play is that mau-
rading male, the Bad Man himself.
Outside of the one figure all we have
is some brilliant satire of the existing
formula of conduct. And that engag-
ing Southwest desperado almos -er-
suades one that his law outside the
law is worth considering. Which is a
tribute to the strength of the au-
thor's lines. They are splendid and
more than justify the plays existence.
When it comes to discussing per-
sonalities at a Mimes play it is gen-
erally a case of the same old story
over again. And so it is, in a large
measure, in this season's opening.
Of course the first honors should be
accorded Livingstone. This is un-
doubtedly the best thing he has done
since "The Last Warning." I have
always contended that melodrama and
plays wherein a broad interpretation
can be made of the leading male fig-
ures are the best vehicles for Living-
stone. And now I am more than ever
convinced that I am right. To-wit, his
two outstanding successes are my
argument. And I have not forgotten
"Anna Christie" either. Which re-
minds me that you could hear the
Swedish dialect cropping out through
the Greaser lingo at times last night.
Rather amusing but the fact remains
that Livingstone is without peer, on
the campus, at handling dialect. Si,
Senor Livingstone, you are ze one
grand Bad Man.
Our new leading lady,, Miss John-
son, well, sometimes she is and some-
times she isn't-if you get what I
mean. Last night she was mostly
"isn't." But I fear she was the vic-
tim of a casting director's error. And
the s~me holds for the other lady of
the cast. She tried hard-but what is
one to do. Still, blonde beauty and
trim ankles are there own excuse for
being.
All in all a good show but not the
Mimes best. I look forward to some-
thing better.

TWILIGJIT ORGAN RECITAL
A review, by Robert J. Lessner.
There is something in a twilight
organ recital besides the music, be-
sides the artist. Some go to sleep un-
der it. . others applaud viciously .. .
and others sit muted. Some believe
music is religion and they came to
give prayers. The third number-
Landscape in Mist-caught that spirit
and we have the words of Walter
Kohn to carry it on: "When they re-
turn to men they will not tell of two
who walked in the unactual twilight
and were not seen again. .."
Of the four movements of Handel's
Concerto for Organ, No. V in F, which
opened the program, the third, al-
though the shartest, was the best be-
cause it was the most peaceful.
Tschaikowsky's Fifth Symphony is
a rare composite of emotions that arc
