is also not the w ork of inspiration
but. of effort. That is the chief
fault of Chamberlain's wor'k, and
one for which only his training can
be blamed. Trhe rendering and the!
technique are excellent, the atmos-
phere easily distinguished; but de-'
spite the crispne;,s of line and form
there is a lack of emotion other
than lively interest.!
The text is a happy foil; there

MERIT OR POLITICS?
Party machinery, high pressure
salesmanship, and suavity always
have and always will be the key-l
note to success in the peanut pol-
itics which. now prevail on thel
Michigan campus. Any candidate,
regardless of his qualifications, can
mnanage to carry an election if he
but gain the backing of the party I"
in power. Comparative merit rare-s
ly if ever enters into the considera-j
tion of these candidates by' the
campus at large. Y
There are certain organizations--,
notably the Union-whichi we feel
should be removed from the polit-
ical vagaries of a student body in-=3
capable of judging the respective
worth of the candidates. 'Tie vot-
ers (particularly in an all-campus l
election) lack the knowledge which'
is requisite for selecting the man
who will 1111 his position efficiently
and creditably, because they knowE
none of the inner workings of theI
orga.nization in question.'
The only means of surmzounting ;'
this obstacle, we believe, is to place,
the election of Union officers in the
dands of persons well acquainted'.
with the existing conditions, men
who have been actively interested
in the welfare of the Union and
who are qualified to judge the stu-
dents handling its business.
Th'is proposal is not a new onle.'
The merit system was brought up
five years ago and defeated for po-
litical reasons; two years ago when,
lack of the necessary 600 voters pre-
vented its adoption; and last year;
when the presence of a heckler
moulded lack of conviction into op-
position.
The exact m~emibership of the I
election board; its faculty-student
proportion; its proximity to the
president of the Union and the
time o~f its inauguration furnish the
principal snags in p~ractical con-
sideration of the plan./ But at the
most, they are details 'upon which,
a reasonable agreement may be
reached. If we get a system which
encourages good men to try out fory
