natural right of ways, are originally
monopolistic and must be provided
competition. The viewpoint must
be one of public service; thus, legis-
lation upon motor-bus monopoly is
of doubtful importance so long as
the gasoline carrier serves the pub-
lic more chiefly and expediently
than the railroad. The evil does
not lie in lack of bus regulation,
but rather in "overregulation" of
railroads.
TO THE EDITOR.
January 21, 1931
Dear Sir:
I am assuming that you desire
correct information when writing
editorials or publishing the actions
of Congress, so I am addressing
you concerning an editorial that
appeared in your issue of January
13, 1931, entitled "Airing the Sen-
ate's Dirty Linen."
You said toward the end of the
editorial: "We note with pleasure,
much as one would rejoice on find-
ing an oasis in a desert, that one
of Michigan's Senators, Arthur
Vandenberg, voted against the mo-
tion to send the request to the
President, and against putting the
names back on the Senate calendar.
Michigan's multi-millionaire anti-
capitalist Couzens' name failed to
appear on the roll call."
The facts are that I lead the fight
against the motion to send the re-
quest to the President, and sup-
ported the President's viewpoint.
The roll call so shows, as well as
my speech in the Senate. It is true
that I was not in the Senate when
the names were placed back on the
calendar, but that was a wholly
unimportant move, because they
are still on the calendar and it
means nothing either to the con-
tinuance of the Commission or to
the President.
Very truly yours,
James Couzens.

i t seems that there is a lot of
illness among our faculty members
these days, and speculation is rife
as to whether they are ill from the
effects of their consciences after
that last exam, or whether there
has been an influx of beautiful
nurses to the city, bringing up the
old question Quis Custodiet ipsos,
custodes which, literally translated
means-"I wonder what Prof. -'s
nurse looks like?"

Note: This department is for the
benefit of Daily readers who are
puzzled by any of the problems that
arise about the campus. If you have
anything troubling you like sudden
pains in the back, spots before the
eyes, exams coming on the last day
of exam week, or worry over why
the instructor in your 8 o'clock in-
sists on wearing a purple tie at that
ungodly hour of the morning, write
to the Daily, care of the It Must Be
The Weather Dept. and get the
benefit of the advice and erudition
of the entire Rolls staff. Manu-
scripts will positively not be re-
turned unless self-addressed en-
velope containing ten-dollar bill is
enclosed.
Out of today's mail we have
selected the following letter to be
the first one answered by our new
department.
Dear It Must Be The Weather:
Zimbalist our cat has what I
am sure would be the measles
if she didn't have so much hair
that her skin is all covered up
so you can't tell. She also has
three month-old kittens and a
habit of upsetting the garbage
pail. What would you suggest?
Worried Silly.
Dear Silly:

Another reader-pardon me, a
reader-send in to claim the sleep-
ing-in-Angell-Hall prize because,
according to his statement, he has
never been asleep there at all. Until
substantiation of his claims is
forthcoming, we are shelving this
application on the grounds that he
probably never attended a class in
the Building in question.

TONIGHT: In the Lydia Men-
delssohn theatre, the last perform-
ance of REBOUND.
BORIS GOUDONOFF
A feature of the May festival this
year will be the concert presenta-
tion in the original of Mousorgsky's
opera "Boris Goudonoff." This will
be played by the Chicago symphony
orchestra with soloists and chorus.
"Boris Goudonoff" was written by
Mousorgsky in 1868. It was first
published in 1928 by the Music sec-
tion of the Russian state publishing
department from original auto-
graphed hanuscripts. Simultan-
eously it appeared in German,
French and English translations.
Because of the composers lack of
knowledge of orchestration and the
skeleton harmonies of the work, it
was never presented in the original
until Leopold Stokowski rendered it
in Philadelphia last April.
It had been the custom up till
recently, as has already been stated,
to use the Rimsky-Korsakoff ver-
sion for all stage performances. The
May festival will mark the second
presentation of the original in this
country. Until the publication of
the original manuscript, it had been
thought that Mousorgsky's writing
was lacking in the fundamentals of
dramatic construction. For operatic
performance it was thought that
the composer had exhibited an
ignorance of the needs of the stage.
The Rimsky version was thought
to be a real and sympathetic one
because of the affinities of the com-
posers, both belonging as they did
to the Russian school opposed to
the Tchaikovsky teutonics.
With the publication of the man-
sucripts and the first rendition,
many of the misapprehensions (as
they now clearly are) were correct-
ed. It was seen that although "Boris
Goudonoff" was really a concert
work rather than an opera in
intrinsic value, it exhibited a direct-
ness of attack anl a splendid viril-
ity and simplicity, which the
Rimsky-Korsakoff version with all
its brilliance and virtuosity, lacked
entirely. Rimsky it was seen, had
for the sake of the stage, filled out
harmonics and changed keys, in so
doing completely negating the real
value of Mousorgsky.
The music as itnow stands, and
as it will be presented in the May
Festival, is a splehdid representa-
tive of that class of artistic endea-
vor which depends entirely on in-
spiration rather than a profound
knowledge of the technical phases
of the metier. It is music devoid
of the web of harmonics and varia-
tions to which one is accustomed.
Partly through the exigencies of
the text, partly because of the limi-
tations of Hill auditorium, it will
be given a conced performance.

ALBERT SPALDING
Albert Spalding, the distinguished
American violinist, will be heard in
Ann Arbor for the third time Tues-
day evening of next week, in the
eighth program of this season's
series of Choral Union concerts. He
has been heard before both as solo-
ist at the May Festival and in con-
cert. On both occasions he received
a profound ovation, which enthus-
iasm urged the School of Music to
secure his return this year for an
additional recital.
Mr. Spalding will play the fol-
lowing program, assisted at the
piano by Mr. Andre Benoist:

THE HOUSE TURNS SPY
On the heels of the public presen-
tation of the Wickersham report,
the House of Representatives has,
successfully, but unfortunately, re-
sisted all attempts to strike out
from the four department supply
bill, the provisions which make
possible the establishment of gov-
ernment "traps," to snare the un-
wary, the use of government money
for purchasing alcoholic evidence,
and the tapping of private tele-
phone 'lines in the fanatic search
for prohibition violators.
We are inclined to believe with
Representative Beck, of Pennsyl-
vania, that this procedure, particu-
larly the wire-tapping, "violates the
fundamental decencies of human
life." Even the Supreme Court on
a recent case of this nature held
the practice "unethical," but re-
fused to take action because it
could not be construed as "unrea-
sonable search and seizure."
The successful defense of such,
measures can only mean the estab-
lishment of an odious, unethical,
and unprincipled spy system which
comes close to the private life of
every American and it can be only
a question of time until the public
will revolt against such practices.
Moreover, only an abnormal and
unhealthy law must depend for its
enforcement upon measures whicht
are so obviously "unethical" and sot
obviously contrary to any American?
principle of personal liberty or per-1
sonal justice.
BUS REGULATION .
The interstate commerce com-x
mnittee of the Senate has delegatedt
the task of drawing up legislationi
for the regulation of interstate bust
companies to a sub-committee with
the hope that action will be brought1
about during the present session.1
The exact objective of the com-
mission is hardly apparent, 'al-
though there seems to be some in-t
fluence abroad from the railroad'st
view-point.to elimina-,e recent cut-G
throat competition from motorbust
companies.I
It is as if "Congress had legis-t
lated in 1850 to keep windjammers
on the seas in competition withN

ANOTHER MODERNIST REVOLTS
In regards to the review of Rabbi
Bernard Heller's latest essay on
"The Modernists Revolt Against
God" which appeared in the Daily
on Thursday, I might add that I
have read the pamphlet and the
result is that I am pretty much dis-
appointed in the way in which
Heller handles his third part after
such a promising beginning.'
When one starts to read the
book, he immediately is seized with
the idea that perhaps after all here
is going to be a worthwhile offer-
ing to the much-needed opposition
to the GREAT COLLEGIATE GOD
MENCKEN and his silver-tongued
trumpet MERCURY. He analyzes
Mencken's whole attitude in a grat-
ifying and satisfactory method and
his use of footnotes to back up his
statements is particularly helpful.
Mencken in this part is what is
called in the vernacular "taken for
a ride."
In his second part, moreover, he
takes apart the new theory of HU-
MANISM and is singularly success-
ful. His arguments, mostlyproven
by other philosophers, are well
founded and close to the point.
One receives the impression after
completing this section that the
learned rabbi has something here
which perhaps after all will an-
swer some of the arguments which
our either half-baked intelligentsia
or supposedly scientific exponents
of atheism are wont to give to the
rest of us poor mortals who appar-
ently still have enough intelligence
and power of research to still hold
to a BELIEF.
One then reads the third part.
All his hopes for a counteracting
argument to atheism and its ac-
companying satellites are dashed.
Heller here gives his own views on
atheism and his ideas on the reme-
dies for it. One has probably read
them a hundred times before in
perhaps a different guise in simi-
lar essays by other clergymen and
is thoroughly disgusted with them.
How is it possible, one wonders
when reading this section, for an
honest clergyman to say that we
must not teach a belief in God
through deduction but by drilling
into a child from infancy up that
there is a God and that he shows
himself in everything. This is all
poppycock. Ninety per cent of the
people who have turned to atheism
where brought up in religion in
this way and then despite the fact
t h a t this argument confronted
them in every way, they began to
wonder and question and because
their intelligence didn't quite go
far enough they associated with
themselves a disbelief.
We are living in an age of reason.
Wouldn't it be more to the benefit
