powe carries with it the implicit re-
quirement that the sons of the family
shall be strong and groomed to take
over the reins of power. Where there
is no such son, the power of the
regime is dissipated and anarchy and
revolt are the result.
Prince Carol, a dissolute and un-
stable young man who has figured in
the newspapers of the world in sev-
eral unwise amours, is quite evidently
only the tool of stronger men who
require only a figurehead. His return,
forced as it is, would mark only the
return of autocracy and( terror and
would no doubt forecast the disrup-
tion of the kingdom.
The wisest move which can be made
in Roumania at the present time is
first, to stamp out any seeds of revolt
which are being sown by Carol; and
second, to establish in the ruling
power some men who are capable of
wisely administering the affairs of the
country and training the young king
so t'at he may be a wise and capable
man. In the hands of these men
would rest the entire future of the
country. But it is better that it
should rest in their hands than in the
hands of unscrupulous politicians and
an irresolute and dissolute young man.
THE NEW MANHOOD)
Each year as thousands of high
school graduates enter the colleges
and universities of the country, the
entering men are subjected to a course
of treatment that is calculated to
make men out of them, and in some
mysterious manner to inculcate in
them a love and understanding of the
aims and the ideals of their alma
mater. Seldom does anyone offer an
explanation of the custom. But still
it continues, without rhyme, reason,
or apology.
Now the editor of a small college
paper, The Stylus, of Sioux Falls col-
lege, comes forth with a reason and
apology. And we are led to wonder
whether the editor is serious in error,
or whether he is being inordinately
facetious. "For he says, "Of course
we admit that a freshman is nearly
killed physically by upperclassmen,
but that is merely a matter of custom
and probably assists very much in the
development of stoicism and disci-
pline."
Surely it is a low state of affairs
when the papers of the colleges must
and do defend hazing on the ground
that it develops discipline and leads
to the resigned attitude of manhood.
Manhood bred in this way is nothing
more or less than fear, and the prac-
tice takes our colleges back to pre-
historic, animal days.
With a coming spirit of democracy
and freedom, the American universi-
ties must see that spirit comes, not
through brutality and subjection, but
through accomplishment, and competi-
tion in the activities of the mind as
well as the body. Spirit and loyalty
are things bred within and not with-
out. And with them comes discipline.
RECIPROCATION
Last week in New York an inter-
nationally-known journalist, J. Alfred
Spendei', selected to receive the first
American newspaper fellowship in
honor of Walter Hines Page, declared
in his address of acceptance that it
was no use attempting to outlaw war
politically unless the public could be
taught to think the thoughts of peace.
He further remarked the considerable
degree of concurrence of comment on
important issues which appeared in
British and American newspapers
simultaneously, and attributed this
adherence to identical fundamental

standards of judgment on both sides
of the water.
Since the English journalist comes
-as he -says-as a learner, it would
be interesting to uncover his reaction
to the. controversy - now centering
around the teaching of English history
in Chicago schools. How strangely'
his wish for a friendly candor in deal-
ing with Anglo-American problems
conflicts with the hostile bombast of
William Hale Thompson. It is rather
evident that the cause of teaching
the public of Chicago to think thoughts
of peace is soundly whacked so long
as public men testify to seeing plots
of -British insidiousness on every
hand. It is rather to be hoped that
the identical standards thought by
Spender to prevail between our two
countries. are really broad enough to
overlook as a purely local condition
the recent attacks and broadsides.
CAMPUS OPINION
Annonymous communications will be
disregarded. The names of conmuni-
cants will, however, be regarded as
confidential upon request. Letters pub-
lished should- not be construed as ex-
pressing the editorial opinion of The
Daily.1

and the campus is in doubt as to just
what is being done.
On the other hand, when some poor,
unsuspecting gentleman. who wants
a degree and wants it without any
work happens to glance over at his
friend's paper during an examination,
we read about the action at the very
head of the D.O.B. Or if some other
man happens to walk out of the library
with a book under his arm his name
also appears in the most read col-
umns of The Daily. All of the other
actions of the disciplinary boards are
given publicity, why not the automo-
bile violations?
The.point of all this is to inquire
just why it is that these men who
violate the ban are being shielded.
If the University is pressing these
cases as it would haveus believe they
are being pressed, then surely some
notice of the fact should appear,
especially when the University is so
active in giving notice of its activities
in other lines of discipline. Surely it
is not as bad to have your name at
the head of the D.O.B. for violating
the ban as It is for cheating in ex-
aminations. And the violations of last
year's ban were given due notice.
Why doesn't Harvey Emery explain
the punishments and lay his cards on
the table?

EDITORIAL COMMENT
BLUE LAWS AT MICHIGAN
(The Daily Cardinal)
A severe form of collegiate paternal-
ism seems to have spread itself like
a blanket over the University of Mich-
igan campus this fall. The Wolyerine
faculty has succumbed to the govern-
mental dictatorial mania which is
sweeping our official academicians
like wildfire. The outbreak of this
contagious rash at Michigan has re-
sulted in a ban on student automo-
biles, abolition of fraternity dances
on football week-ends, and in strin-
gent enforcement of the prohibition
act.
If the faculty persists in laying
down its paternal rulings, we would
not be surprised to hear soon that
each and every Michigan student is
compelled to do'n red woolens on the
first of November; or to learn that the
faculty has placed a ban on mince pie
-for mince pie, like automobiles. and
bad liquor and dances following foot-
ball games, often proves harmful. The
popularity of this attitude on the part
of Michigan's faculty is evidenced by
the large drop in the university's
freshman enrollment this year.
But the Michigan student is notI
totally submissive. At a recent meet-
ing of the- Wolverine Interfraternity
council, a resolution was passed stat-
ing that the body "is opposed to the
present automobile regulation, and
suggests that all upperclassmen who
are scholastically eligible be allowed
to drive cars." The same organiza-
tion (which seems a bit more active
than the corresponding one on this
campus) also voted to draw up a
statement expressing disapproval of
tIje ruling prohibiting fraternity danc-
es after football games. In the dis-
cussion preceding the motion, the
opinion was expressed by several
councilmen that this ban on dances
served no good purposes and deprived
both the students and alumni of the
fraternities of a legitimate opportun-
ity to engage in a traditional recrea-
tion.
The Michigan student council has
also fallen in line against this prohibi-

tion of student automobiles, declaring
the complete ban to be "unduly re-
strictive and unjust to the great ma-
jority of students." In its first issue"
of the year, Michigan's student news-
paper declared editorially that "The
Daily regards the continuation of the
present total ban an injustice against
the great majority of students, when
a moderate ruling such as that of last
year may be enforced by efficient ad-
ministrative officers such as the uni-
versity has now engaged."
The Daily Cardinal is completely in
sympathy with the Michigan student
revolt, and hopes that their appeals
to the board of regents will not be in-
effective. If they succeed in over-
throwing some of the rulings the fac-
ulty has imposed upon them, they will
set an example by which officials of
other institutions may profit.
While the inability of the band to
make more than one trip this year be-
cause of expenditure for equipment is
easily understandable, it is equal-
ly clear that some depreciation or
sinking fund arrangement should be
effected so that the present situation
will not be repeated three of four
years hence.

similarity to the same attitude dis-

RAISA AND LAZARRI
It was something of a lucky break
for the School of Music that Giacomo
Rimini was unable to appear in to-
night's program with Rosa Raisa.
Virgilio Lazarri is going to replace
him, and the change is all for the
good.
Rimini is excellent for opera; he
has a marvelous stage presence, and
a good voice., But Lazarri, next to
Mary Garden is one of the greatest
artists at the Chicago Civic. He is
a magnificent basso, with a voice that
does not have to be pardoned on the
grounds that his interpretation was
sufficient. And he will do more than
Rimini probably would in the duets
with Raisa, and in addition will prob-
ably be more than interesting in his
own arias.
Raisa herslef, is rather famous at
the Civic for several roles, principally
Maliella in "The Jewels of the Ma-
donna," and in the name part of
"Aida." She is a statuesque Russian
jewess, as tall as most men, and very
dark. Her greatest professional as-
set is a skillful treatment of character
in the creation of her roles and a
depth and resonance to her voice
which is not usually possessed by so-
pranos.
ALL HALLOWS' AT THE WHITNEY
After the godly tracts and doxologies
of "The Servant in the House" on
Saturday, the Whitney will go thor-
oughly medieval Monday night, when
"The Vagabond King" will occupy
that storied playhouse. It is an ami-
able extravaganza, long popular in
New York, where it did much to estab-
lish the reputation -of Dennis King,
now employed as a singing D'Artagnan
in Ziegfeld's forthcoming "Three
Musketeers."
Russell Janney produced the present
show on the proverbial shoe-string
some two seasons ago, only to see it
burgeon forth into the musical hit of
the yeta'; With the hearty "Song of the
Vagabonds" and the dulcet "Only a
Rose" abrading the aerials and music-
boxes of the nation. The piece is E.
H. Sothern's familiar vehicle, "If I
Were King," set to carols and rounde-
lays by Friml, with decor by James
Reynolds, direction by Richard Bole-
slavsky, and jokes by Joe Miller-a
typical triplicate in the music-halls
of Manhattan.
In the road company, stopping here
on an extensive tour, the doublet and
hose of Master Francois Villon, the
distinguished jailbird who gave the
"Testaments" and "Ballades" to pos-
terity, will be assumed by Will T.
Philbrick, while Miss Carolyn Thomp-
son will enact his noble inamorata.
Perhaps the most familiar name in
the roster is that of H. Copper Cliffe,
the Louis XI; a distinguished veteran
from the ranks of Irving and Tree,
his suave performances have bettered
many a Broadway success.

IN GENERAL
(Editor's Note: Since it is patently
impossible to review all the current
best-sellers, this column will on oc-
casion publish book notes on such as
merit attention.)
A general view of the more or less
recent novels reveals the natural, if a
little disillusioning, fact that nothing
very much has been written but that,
very well. Willa Cather, Kathleen
Norris and E. Barrington have again,
been faithful to their public but they
have done the ordinary thing in what
is for them an ordinary manner, and
the panting crtic still sighs for the
clear coolness of novelty and origin-
ality.
Miss Cather's "Death Comes for the!
Archbishop" is a pleasant thing of the
southwest, slightly historical, more
romantic, and very competent from a
craftsman's point of view. . "The
Thunderer" is E. Barrington's version
of Napoleon, and coming so closely on
the heels of Ludwig's masterly study
furnishes a refreshing sidelight on the
man. To say that it does more would
be slandering Ludwig, but what it
does less it does more interestingly.
"Barberry Bush" is now way up in
the thousands which proves that in
this more or less prosaic story Kath-
leen Norris has again pictured ordi-
nary people very much to their own
liking.

SENSIBILITY TRIUMPHS
Since the comparatively brief reign
of Ramsey McDonald as the Labor
premier of England, the whole world
has been watching the experiment go-
ing on in that country. England was
the first large country in the world
where Labor was able to raise itself
to the status of a political party with
control of th~evernment, and it is to
England thatbh world has been look-
ing for some settlement of the prob-
lem of the relation of labor to capital
and the country.
For the last year it has seemed that
Labor in England was going to fail
in the eyes of the world. The repre-"
sentatives of the workers were get-
ting more radical and their demands
smacked of socialism and state owner-
ship and many other things which
were especially repugnant to English
ideals, and distasteful to the rest of
the world, where the idea of private
ownership and reward according to
endeavor and ability still have much
charm.
At three conferences of labor held
in England in, the past few weeks, the
delegates have finally agreed that the
only wise course for labor is to seek
conciliation with the vested interests
and try to reach some amicable agree-
ment which will bring peace out of
chaos and futility. A scheme for
ameloriation under capitalism is the
course Wvhich English labor will now
pursue.
With such an agreement reached,
and under the wise leadership of men
who know labor and capital, England
should go far -in settling the relation
between the employer and the em-
ployed.
TURBULENT KINGDOMS
On the sixth birthday of King
Michael of Rumania, wholesale plots
to overthrow the present ruling body
and substitute the dissolute Prince
Carol, brokher of the present boy ruler
were uncovered. Many of the central
officers of the present regime are im-
plicated in the discovery and a gen-
eral court martial of the conspirators
is planned for the near future. Tur-
