It is also well known that law enforcement-is in the hands of po- lice and judges who fail at almost every point to observe the laws they are placed in office to uphold. The report of a committee ap- pointed to look into the lawless en- forcement of the law has just sub- mittedaitsreport to the American B a r association. This statement scathingly indicts the methods now in. use for the arrest and detention of prisoners before trial. It contends first that the "third degree" in the sense of rigid and severe examina- tion of men under arrest by police officers or prosecuting attorneys or both is in use almost everywhere in the United States. Chicago's meth- od of wholesale arrest on suspicion is prevalent enough in other parts of the country, and is without justi- fication in law. Entry and search of dWellings without warrant is equal- ly common, as is holding of prison- ers without charge and without permission to see counsel or friends -usually while some form of the third degree is practiced. By law, the prisoner is to be brought before a court without unnecessary delay; while he is held,the accused is pre- sumed. innocent and entitled to' counsel and to humane and decent treatment. But this is not the prac- tice. Toleration in police circles of the third degree and of holding prison-' ers incomunicado is attributable to; the difficulties of enforcing lawI among a people of extreme hetero- geneity, with no fixed abode, witht no system of registration or identi- fication, in an enormous geographi- cal area. The spirit of the frontier, with its lvnch iw and hysteria. still of all, the average police officer is convinced that if he does not bring his prisoner in with a complete con- fession, the prisoner will s l i p through the wide open meshes of the courts. Court procedure is slow and careless; judges are not incor- ruptible; court clerks are notorious- ly susceptible to influence'." The committee's findings reach the heart of the matter when it is pointed out that public opinion is indifferent to laxity and corruption in the courts and actually approves of police violence, provided culprits are found for the more spectacular crimes. This lack of a public spirit- ed body of opinion and unholy wrath on the part of private citi- zens silently condones the corrupt actions now in vogue. In fact, the committee points out cases in which the citizenry protests against refor- mation. "A few months ago," states the report, "policemen in a certain city made two egregious blunders in breaking into houses without war- rants.... .Then the police commis- sioners made an order that the offi- cers obtain search warrants before breaking into dwellings. Whereupon a large and potent factor of the public at once urges the revocation of the order." There is little ground for optim- ism in the current forecast. When the ordinary citizen refuses illumi- nation or, more generally, calls for wholesale disregard for the law on the part of those detailed to uphold it, only the more optimistically- minded can hope for an incorrupti- ble police and judiciary. "FIGHTING BAND" A vague feeling of inappropriate- ness comes over us when we hear that well known phrase, "Michigan's fighting band." Those scrupulously pressed uniforms, those w h i t e starched shoulder straps and espe- cially those stiff, precisely drawn ranks that strut down the field in well ordered columns seem to sug- gest the parade ground of a military school rather than a battle field. Is the true fighting spirit1'of Michigan represented by that spectacle of haughty militarism? We also call attention to the two heralds one of whom marches at each end of the front rank. Do not these medieval figures. with their gay yellow M banners attached to the bottoms of their trumpets suggest the spirit of a comic opera or perhaps a Holly- wood version of the court life in Luxemburg? We admit that the music pro- duced is excellent, the drills exe- cuted are perfection, but somehow the whole tone of the performance is theatrical, suggests the profes- sional musician rather than the en- thusiastic, spontaneous college by. Comments on our band usually are comparisons, favorable or un- favorable, with other bands of mid- western colleges. In fairness to the industrious ef- fort of the band, which after all shows a great deal of college loyalty, it must be said that the drills and formations of the band stack up very favorably with other similar organizations in other colleges. The initiative and effort expended in obtaining the new uniforms that have made their first appearance this year, must also be commended for its own sake, if not for the end achieved. The point we want to make is that the stiff, parade ground attitude vith all the theatrical props that the manager can muster defeats the real purpose of the band which is to represent down on the field the spirit and feeling of the undergraduate body. For a spontaneous, lively, rough and ready appearing outfit take the Harvard band we saw here last fall. White duck trousers and red sweat- ers, a lively and untutored step and lots of noise. That should express the Michigan spirit of rough and ready fearlessness better than our own Gawdy Pageantry.

To the Editor: Michigan students should note with approval the views of Bill Roper which were expressed in a recent Associated Press dispatch and elucidated in yesterday's Daily. The strong tendency of men on the campus to engage in intramural sports or in athletic competition as members of the minor sports teams is a healthy indication that civil- ized and normal persons have sensi- ble views toward the place of ath- letics in the college.

William) It wasn't really my fault about that column yesterday, fellows. I was away at the time and someone sneaked up and planted that one on me. The worst of it all is that I am away again now, and the chances are that the same thing will happen tomorrow. However, I ought to be just overflowing with witicisms after a visit to the Ohio stronghold. * * * Last time I went down there and watched Andy chasing the fellows around on his bicycle without having the slightestj idea whether they were Ohio or Michigan students (he was in no condition to tell by the licenses) and I came back feel-i ing so funny that even the dis- covery of the fact that Andy really didrecognize me was not sufficient to tone down my high spirits. * * * Such times as these, however, serve to prove the ingenuity of the Michigan man. I am reminded of the gent last year who went down on the tender of the Special loco- motive, went in as a manager, and came home in the pants of one of the bandsters on the Special again. Bumming is one of the more popular ways for the impecun- ious to get there. I went to Minnesota that way last year, arriving in Chicago just in time to see the crowds leaving the stands at the end of the Notre Dame-Army game. Needless to state, I went no further and fared no worse, but it was a nice trip just the same. I got to ride with a bootlegger in a Packard and everything. * * * Speaking of bums, I wish to in- form Grandma Whoofle that if she wants to know what my idea of privacy is, all she has to do is come around and I'll show her, but I'll tell her one thing first, and that is that it isn't the telephone booth in the Parrot. Neither is it the Michigan Daily office, he said, flicking off seven kibbitzers which had settled on his left shoulder. * * * Right now, I wish to offer one last prize, and if no one applies for this, I'll just quit offering p r i z e s, and then where'll you be? The last prize is a Rolls Diploma for One eyed- connellyism, and will be award- ed to the man, woman, or beast who sends in the most original and feasible not to mention amusing method of getting to out of town games. The method must be tried and successful to qualify. * * * I certainly hope all you men are satisfied now that you have gotten your university a reputation for fostering a gang of tea-hounds, I've been prophesying this for some time, and nobody can say that I haven't done my best to get you out of your evil ways. Come on now, how about listening to the call of the He Men's Club? Join the Coatless-Shirt League, the Cordu- roy Pants league, the Shoving-the- Coeds-off-of-Sidewalks-and-M a k- i n g - them-Walk-in-the-Street- League. Let us eschew ... get that? . . eschew (boy, a few more of those and I'm going out and write an editorial) as I was saying,-let us eschew this effeminacy that is making us the laughingstock of the conference and come once more into our own among the men of the world. * * * Does anyone know what the can- vass was doing up in front of the Union not long since? First they pulled up a lot of old rope, and then there was a long wait during which, I suppose, the boys were ravelling it and spinning the can- vass up on the roof, and then they lowered the sheet down over the tower's face with a great deal of shooshing and mystery. I want to know all about this, and that right soon. Elmer wants to have me tell you that it was all a big mis- take. There isn't anything in here to watch for. He meant to have you watch Sunday's paper. He thinks he is going to start a crusade or something, and is very anxious that you read all about it. Elmer is, however, such an untruthful lad that you can't ever rely on his state- ments. I remember distinctly In the current issue of the Hound and Horn, America's best critical quarterly, there is an article Some Problems of Musical Criticism by Herbert S. Schwartz, '29. This paper, which is the first of a series of articles to appear in the Hound and Horn and to be later published in book form by Alfred A. Knopf, was begun on the campus in the rhetoric seminar in criticism form- erly conducted by Peter M. Jack. Mr. Schwartz was also connected with this column for a year and a half as a music reviewer.j The present article, which has already received New York notices as "one of the most significant contributions to musical aesthetics in recent years," is concerned with the clarification of the nature of music's "meaning" and with indi- cation of a program of principles to guide one's critical approach to music. In his "Principles of Literary Criticism," I. A. Richards, admit- tedly feeble himself in his treat- ment of musical problems, gave an accurate description of the "im- passe" in, musical criticism. Mr. Schwartz seems capable of indicat- ing the way out. The brilliance of his first article suggests very strongly that his book will be able to do for musical criticism what Mr. Richards has done for literary criticism. A MONTH IN THE COUNTRY. The New York Theatre Guild brings the second play in its De- troit season to the Wilson Theatre Monday night for a week's run. The play is Turgeniev's "A Month In The Country." It is a quiet, leisure- ly drama by a novelist, a pastoral discursion into the relaxed graces of living in the country. Sensitive provincials while the time away, lolling in chairs and drinking tea in a manner that was to become a formula- in Chekhov. Under this surface relaxation there is a drama of the complexi- ties in love, which Turgeniev treats tragi-comically. The material some- what pallidly suggests Strange In- terlude. Natalie Petrovna distri- butes her affections generously. She has her husband. And is granted chaste adulation from her husband's friend, who reads to her. She gets tangled slightly with the young tutor in the household, whom her ward loves. The two women dissemble humorously until some sort of a climax seems im- minent. Then the two superflous men wander away, their month in the country over. The Theatre Guild's production of this famous Russian drama, under the -direction of Rouben Mammoulian, is said to be one of the most competent in the history of that organization. In the first place, they were lucky enough to secure the services of Alla Nazi- mova, whose return .to the stage created a sensation. Raymond Sovey, young designer for the Guild, was sent to Russia to copy the original sets done by a famous Russian painter-friend of Turgen- iev's. Then the production contains almost the cream of the Guild's permanent group of actors: Dudley Digges as a country doctor, Henry Travers as a bumpkin suitor, Alex- ander Kirkland as the young tutor, and Eliot Cabot.
