SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1927.
Night Editor.-NELSON J. SMITH JR.
hitherto been the motivating force in
women's activities? What have they
to offer as the living spirit to house
within the walls of the new building?
ALL FOR ONE
The recent proposal by the Demo-
cratic leaders to have a gigantic
"Harmony dinner" in Washington the
night of the opening of the national
committee sessions has in it all of the
elements of humor to those who are
familiar with the situation. The idea
of party harmony is a good one, and
the tradition of the great leader An-
drew Jackson, in whose honor the
dinner is to be given, is one which
should inspire the leaders of the party.
On the face of it, however, the very
proposition of Democratic harmony
in 1928 seems as impossible as the
defeat of Al Smith in New York.
There are many factors which com-
bine to produce this lack of harmony,
and chief among them, of course, is
the sore spot of Al Smith. Undeniably
the leader of the eastern and possibly
the western Democrats, the governor
of New York faces the stigma of Tam-
many and a possible religious prej-
udice when he enters the "Solid
South."
The idea that a. party which shelters
under the same roof the Roman Cath-
1 olic Smith and the bigoted Senator
Heflin can achieve harmony -is per-
fectly absurd. One side or the other
will have to recede, and that recession
can mean nothing short of a party
split.
It seems inevitable at the present
time that Governor Smith will receive
the Democratic nomination for presi-
dent in 1928, but by the same token
it is inevitable that a strong man
nominated by the Republicans, such
as Herbert Hoover, might split the
heretofore "Solid South" in such a
contingency.
THE BIG FROG
Some of the larger newspapers in
the United States, and some organiza-
tions which have as their function the
formation and the expression of pub-
lic opinion, have, for the last three or
four years, made it a matter of great
concern to themselves to foster the
idea that the United States is standing
alone against the whole world, and
that the destiny of the whole world
depends upon the future conduct of
the United States.
Now we have former Senator James
Hamilton Lewis, who is going around
the country spreading this strange
doctrine and expressing the idea that
the United States should make itself
the center of all of the troubles that
are afflicting the world, and declaring
that only in this fashion will any set-
tlement be effected and world peace
be maintained.
"The United States," says Lewis,
"stands alone today without a single
friend among all the civilized nations
of the world. The League and the
World Courtdhave proved impractical
because of the power of the United
States. If the United States were to
pass a law saying that it would not
trade with any nation which declared
war upon any other nation, no nation
would dare to start warfare.
Unfortunately, even though such a
view is most flattering to those who
hold the omnipotence and the omnisci-
ence of the United States, this repre-
sents just the view which the United
States cannot afford to take. The
attitude that the sins of the world are
directly traceable to the commercial
power of the United States is a view
that bespeaks only a lack of vision
and an impotence for the recovery of
balance and sanity.
This plan, as suggested, seems to
imply that the United States is for all
time to be the central nation of the
world. The fact of the matter seems
to be that the other nations of the
world will soon take the place which
they held before the war so reducedI
their resources, and that they will
soon be able to share with the United
States the power to make decisions
and to enforce them by reason of their
power and their independence. To
make the United States the central
power of all of the disputes in the
world would make the United States
a mere pawn upon whom all of the
troubles of the world would settle.
The United States will not be long
the creditor nation of the world. Such
a condition is impossible and natural
conditions will right it. Until that
time, the wisest course seems to be to
enforce peace by a mutual agreement
between all nations and not through
making the United States 'he scape-
goat. The United States does not stand
alone in the world. She stands with
all of the liberal and advancing na-
tions. And she stands with them onI
an equal footing for the promotion of
peace and understanding in the world.
Just as if there weren't enough di-
versity in the styles of campus head-f
gear now, it seems that the Forestry)
school is going to add red hats to
the gray pots of the freshmen and
the blue "M" hats of the athletes.
After the American nrofessors were
I remember the stand at Iowa,
A fight that was good to see;
And that battle on Wisconsin soil,
In nineteen twenty-three;
And when the year's last game
was played,
A banner high o'er the rest.
For Yale may have ruled the con-
quered East,
But Michigan ruled the West.
And then I love to sit and dream
Of that game of twenty-five,
When we met Grange at Illionis,
And stopped his vaunted drive.
Full many a victory of yesteryear
Kept our banner far o'er the
rest.
No matter who ruled the conquer-
ed East,
Our Michigan ruled the West.
But those are dreams of other days,
The dreams that I love best.
For today we stood with the fight
of old,
F But Michigan lost the West.!
* * *
We had a big surprise when Tim-
othy Hay, who held down this job
last year, wandered into the office
after the game yesterday. He looked
so happy that we put him right to
work. Although he modestly denies
it, Tim was pretty hot at his job, and
with great pleasure we offer you a
little specimen of his work, dashed off
on the spur of the moment.

THE AUTO BIOGRAPHY
OF A NEW ALUMNUS
This being an alumnus isn't what
it's cracked up to be. When you get
out of school you have to work all the
year round instead of just at midse-
mesters and finals.
* * *
And once in awil you get away
to cone back to dear Ann Arbor town
and what happens? The weather man
turns the cold shoulder, the Gophers
kick up a lot of mud, and the Union is
sold out on dance tickets. We think
the Union was behid this rule against
fraternity dances.
* * *
But there's one good thing about it
--we Alumni can drive autos. We can
drive them anywhere, even into the
ditch, and nobody starts talking bans.

What we want to know is, what
was Minnesota spelling between
halves? We can't read Swedish.

Who's eating that goose tonight? It
would have been a more appropriate
mascot for Minnesota at the game last
year.
"Min" showed good judgment at
least. She stayed over on the Michi-
gan side of the field as long as Minne-
sota would let her.

great amount of literary style, but he
is extremely clever and able at con-
cocting back-handed puns a n d
facetious epigrams. For this reason,
he has, in the past few years, been
employing his spare time in writing
movie subtitles, song, lyrics for vari-
ous famous gentlemen from tin-pan
alley, and now he is hard at work de-
vising dialogue for various eye and
ear entertainment.
In his critical capacity Mr. Bench-
ley was recently compelled to review
his own show, and as a result came to
the astounding conclusion, that the
reason that there are so few good mu-
sical comedy -books, is that it is ex-
tremely hard to write good musicali
comedy books.
All of which brings me to my thesisI
-which is that Mr. Benchley is rightj
as hell. And as co-author of the book
and lyrics of the annual Union opera,
I swear a solemn oath never to castj
unkind aspersion on the heads of
those scriveners who are engaged in
Samusing the great American public.
From now on Guy Bolton, Fred
Thompson, and Rogers and Hart are
elevated to a place among the literary
half gods. And even Anne Caldwell is
going to get even -breaks, and that's
saying quite a bit when you consider
the awful stuff she turns out.
* * *
There are certain immutable laws
that govern the writing of such
things, that make it extremely diffi-
cult to create any plot or dialogue or
even situations that are both original
and humorous. And the plot and
dialogue for "The Same To You" is
no exception. The present book,
which Mr. Shuter is now rehearsing
is the result of constant revision and
re-writing. In fact, some changes in
lines and characters are still being
made. However, we are optimistic
enough now, to predict that there may
be some action and humor to interpo-
late between the musical numbers
when the show eventually opens at the
Whitney.

THE WOMEN'S LEAGUE
Since the founding of the Women's
league, Michigan women have had
something definite and tangible for
which to work. First, it was recog-
nition by the men students; later it
was a consciousness of their own sig-
nilicance born of an extensive socialI
program on the part of the leaders.
Recently, Michigan women have work-
ed for and achieved self-government
which is so efficient that the majority
of women are not conscious of its
peration.
"The consummation of the efforts of
aa and undergraduates has been
or t e past six years bound up in the
new' Women's' league building which
to "be to the women of the campus
what the Union is to the men." At
lst it may be said that within ap-
proximately one year, this building
will be totally erected. This great
meritorious task of Michigan women
will then have been completed. In
fact, the remaining work on the
campus this year involves only the
collection of funds to pay the large
pledge made by the undergraduate
campaign committee. There will be
no life membership drive, however, be-I
cause of the tax which the Regents
imposed upon the matriculation fee.
Student endeavor will be confined to
little humdrum events which will
gradually pass the pledge.
To be sure the progress of the
women's campaign to such a satisfac-
tory position reflects intelligent man-
agement and hard work. Yet, the
nearing completion of the entire,
project and the decreasing responsi-
bilities of the workers has another
aspect which should be. faced as a
warning if not as a prediction. -
It is almost an axiom of civilization
that the end of the struggle for per'
fection in any endeavor shows not
only the successful completion of the
task, but the loss of the vital spirit
previously shown in the object, move-
ment or organization under considera-
tion. With respect to the present sit-
uation then, the question arises: When
the building is completed, will there
be any vital motivating spirit within?
It has the possibility of being the
concrete symbol of all that a high and
noble womanhood can mean to Michi-
gan-ori it may be an empty shell rep-
resenting the ideals and aspirations
of those who worked or it. but sig- I
