R. 0. T. C. AT WISCONSIN!
Chicago, home of America's unique
100 per cent American, has now taken
it upon itself to extend the sphere of
its patriotic influence, and through
the editorial columns of the Chicago
Tribune has assailed in biting terms
the University of Wisconsin for its
supposed "pacifism.' The charges
are made, it seems, because Wisconsin
fails to support enthusiastically a
unit of the R. 0. T. C., and the attack
has culminated in a mass meeting of
Wisconsin students to answer the
charges.
The Chicago Tribune, it will be re-
membered, is the same paper which1
said that the Northwestern university1
football teams were doomed because
the i. O. T. C. lacked support there,
and accused the Evanston institution'
of being a very effeminate school for
similar reasons. It seems that now
this humanitarian practice of running1
the affairs of all adjacent educational
institutions has been extended by the
Chicago Tribune, and when North-
western failed to heed, the vitupera-
tion was diverted to Wisconsin. t
All of which makes regrettable thatI
Wisconsin students bothered to have
a mass meeting in protest. The idea
that there is some foul stigma impliedt
in the 'word "pacifist" that requires
an answer by a whole student body is1
archaic and obselete. It may be true,
to be sure, that compulsory military
drill was abolished. at Wisconsin for
political expediency, and that military
training is consequently unable toa
compete with the gymnasium classest
for the support of the students, but tog
all of these points one might proposef
the time-honored question "What oft
it?" and let the Chicago Tribunea
worry about the rest.2
The idea that military training isv
necessary to build men is false, ini
spite of the Chicago Tribune's viewsl
to the contrary. The gymnasium workt
taken by Wisconsin students in place
of military drill is building men asa
capable to defend their Americanv
homes from any foreign power as anyt
products of compulsory military train-n
ing.
This is no brief against the R. 0. T.d
C. training. Such instruction is un-p
doubtedly a vital factor in necessaryr
who have faith in the ability of that
university to hold fast to a just prin-
ciple in the face of opposition. To
answer the charges of the Chicago
Tribune is excusable but not neces-
sary; to apologize for them would be
disgraceful.
SHADES OF LUDLOW!
The rifles of the state police have
blazed anew in Colorado, and the first
blood has been shed in the hitherto
bitter struggle between the I. W. W.
and the operators of the Colorado coal
mines. Four men have been killed,
others are dying, and National
Guardsmen are being rushed to the
scene to prevent further violence.
Thus the shades of the Ludlow mas-
sacre, fast sinking into the forgotten
past, have been revived again as the
guns of the state policemen bark their
deadly answer to the pickets. To at-
tempt to set the blame for the occur-
rence at this time, with only the
present information at hand, is, of
course, foolish; but to condemn the
whole situation that brought it about
is neither foolish nor out of place.
There are two ways in which blood-
shed could have been avoided, and
either of them is quite simple com-
pared with the present complications.
The first method would have been the
dispatch of sufficient troops to the
vicinity immediately after the strike
began to prevent, by sheer show of
force, any foolhardy attempt at
violence on the part of the miners.
(Gov. W. H. Adams realized the seri-
ousness of the Columbine situation
two weeks ago, as shown by his pub-
lic statements.) The second possi-
bility would have been to close the
Columbine mine until such time as a
peaceful settlement could have been
reached.
But the incident has happened; and
what the result will be is only a mat-
ter of conjecture. Blood has been
shed in the Colorado fields, and if ex-
perience proves anything it proves
that the first violence will beget more,
and that in the end the pressure of an
indignant public opinion will have to
be brought to bear in solution.
A month ago, or even a week ago,
by a wise display of force, the whole
thing could have been avoided. It
seems only logical to expect that these
recurring tragedies in the coal fields
will in time shake even the state of
Colorado to a realization of the tre-
mendous peril which an uncontrolled
mine strike constitutes. It certainly
seems only logical to expect that some
steps will be taken to prevent such
tragedies in the future.
A HELPING HAND
The part that the departments of
the government have been playing to
aid private industry in the past few
years has been accepted by the leaders
of business as one of the leading fac-
tors in the advance of trade, and in
the settlement of some of the prob-
lems which face wholesale and retail
merchant kings. There has been evi-
denced in the last decade an increased
willingness of the people to cooperate
with the government agencies, and of
the agencies to solve the problems of
the people.
It is interesting to note in this con-
nection that the trade promotion serv-
ice of the Bureau of Foreign and Do-f
mestic Commerce is estimated to have
saved approximately $500,000,000 dur-
ing the last fiscal year. This work
done by the bureau has facilitated
orders to foreign countries and has
greatly increased the intercourse b&
tween the nations in a commercial
way.
Such a condition marks a healthy
state of affairs in the relation of busi-
ness to government and vice versa.
Far from being paternalism, zit shows
the fact that the businessman is will-
ing and eager to cooperate with the
government in the settlement of his
problems and that he is confident of
the results that he will get from that
cooperation. If such a condition could
be reached with all of the departments
of the government-and the results
warrant an expectation of this end-
the status of the country in all lines
of endeavor would be assured and
peace and harmony would be the re-
sult.

A special load of high grade pillows
were carried along for those who
might happen to miscalculate their
footing while parading upon the ice
of the arena. Three mechanics, added
to the regular medical corps of the
arena, stood at hand to segregate the
bits of brass and woodwind in case of
accident.
Several of the bandsmen imagined
they were playing hockey when they
got out on the ice, and picked up a
few points in drilling that ought to
go over big next year at the stadium.

Just before the parade, the drum-
major pleaded with the crowd to be
considerate and refrain from laughter
in case any falls should occur. Sev-
eral, however, utterly neglected his
plea.

In another interview immediately
afterward, the drum-major remarkedI
to nobody in particular that he was
trying to show off by stepping so
high. "I gotta keep my feet warm"
was his excuse.1

At present the necessity of using
the Mimes theater for rehearsals of

And for that reason the psychological

be rather parallel to the hushed ex-

"h11E BARKER"
A review, by Robert Wetzel.
(Editor's Note-Owing to the recent
editorial philippics which have ap-
peared in the Detroit Free Press and
in The Playgoer concerning this dra-
matic column, we submit this review
of "The Barker" now current at the
New Detroit.)
Certain imputations against his
veracity having been circulated here-
abouts, this deponent wishes to an-
nounce that "The Barker" opened
Sunday at the New Detroit, believe it
or not. The piece is a salty saga con-
cerning those tent-shows which play
the region known as the sticks, a
dreary hinterland comfortable to
itinerant showmen only for the rev-
enue to be derived therefrom. The
barker of the troupe, a loose but ami-
able fellow, is concerned lest his son
be defiled by the pitch of circus life;
whereupon the son, a winning young-
ster, joins the show and proceeds to
become enamoured of one of the com-
pany, an indigent light of love who is
no better than stern necessity permits.
Tempted by a cast-off mistress of the
barker's he seduces the boy, and he
marries her. Repenting this spectac-
ular pollution, she comes to love him,
according to the phrase, as only a
good woman can; and the barker re-
turning to the vociferous polysyllables
of the ballyhoo, is seemingly more or
less mollified.
It is a telling cartoon, limning in
bright caryons the trouper's vivid life,
somewhat in the mood of Mr. Jim Tul-
ly's "Circus Parade," though not quite
so promiscuous and outspoken. The
author, Mr. Kenyon Nicholson, a pro-
fessor at Columbia, is himself an erst-
while showman, so the copious local
color is apparently not synthetic. Mr.
Richard Bennett as the barker is
capital, as always; honest, easy and
repressed, he plays the part as you
yourself would play it, if you could.
The others fill in the lesser roles
agreeably, with Mr. Sanford McCauley

"I am irrevocably opposed to show-
ing the campus movie in Ann Arbor
before a period of two years,"
"Peaches" Wilcox, well-known moving
picture artist., who moved here this
fall from Hollywood, was unheard to
remark yesterday afternoon. "I fear
such action would work irreparable
damage to my reputation as the great-
est movie star on the campus."
* * .*
"I'll fight the picture to the last
clinch," discontinued Wilcox, as he
bared the million dollar teeth that
brought him fame in a grimace of
anger. "Those ham actors aren't go-
ing to get a thing past me."
* * *
"Beauty and art will triumph,"
"Peaches" almost gurgled as he sunk
to his chair in a fit of passion, display-
ing a well-turned ankle to the alert
eyes of the admiring reporter. The
interview ended when "Peaches" cried,
"I'll stand up for my rights," and fell
to the floor in a dead faint.
* * *
Meanwhile, the whole campus is
anxious to learn the fate of its own
stellar production. The Rolls office
is flooded with contributions, demand-
ing that the rights of the students be
satisfied at once.
