The appomitment of too many reboting >mmissions has been one point it] the attack f the Democrats and Progressives against resident hoover. They wanted action, not ords. YOt after careful investigations in ianY- ases, they failed to act on the basis of the facts tibmitted. And now, their leader advocates ie establishinent of another such commission, uIs time a perianent one. Germany, too, has a National Econoniic ouncil. The workiugmen complain that the )vernnlellt appoin tees control the decisions, ICl manufacturers comhipilin that the working- en control the work, wile the government [icials blame the other two factions. The ork of the group consists in drawing up pro- osed measures on economic problems, and in ,viewing measures which have been intro- Ilced into the Reichstag. Their action, how- yer, does not count in determining whether r not the bill becomes a law. That Congress would hold this Council in igher esteem than it has past coniis 1iOls is oubtful. However, the proposal is significant I that it demonstrates that evehi the opposi- on cannot produce concrete objectives in its rogran of economic legislation. On the one and, it reproves the President for appoint- ug comllmlittees to investigate, for his lack of gislation to aid business recovery, for not ccoml)Iishing anything when they theiselves The Big Ten and The ews .ANOTHER bond las been created by whlch it is hoped to knit the lUiversities of the Western Conference closer togetier. TPhis is the newly organized Big Ten news service. Each Big Ten newspaper in the future will send1 weekly news releases to the other nine papers. These, pap)ers will contain stories of interest to other campuses as well, but which are not sent over the press association wires, educational doctrines advocated by prominet teachers, feature stories as well as straight news. The exchange of ideas should prove mu- tually profitable to the students of all schools. The dogma that everything one does is abso- lutely iroiper results in early narrowmidled- ness. We hope this news service will bring about a brofldlening of viewpoints. Willa Cather's genius for deli- cately spun narrative and exqui- site, haunting word play is now- where better shown than in "Shad- ows on the Rock." There is only a semblance of a story, even less than in "eath Comes for the Ar. chbishopW but the sustained magic of the bleak rock in the lonely waters of the St. Lawrence fur- nishes enough interest to supply a dozen books. The tale, then, simply shows life in the stronghold of Quebec as it was in the days of Frontenac. A deeply revennent feeling pervades the whole, and in her characteriza- tions of the nuns and missionaries, Miss Cather is particularly sym- pathetic. The shadows on the rock are its people, who ' are finely etched by the author, but they live for the reader just as vividly as if they had been splashed in brilliant colors. What little continuity there is found in the story of Auclaire, the apothecary, and his little daughter, Cecile. The little girl, brought up in the traditions of old France, furnishes a connecting link be- tween life in the far off homeland and in the ruggedness of the north- ern wilderness. Her natural 'weet- ness and charm are a great factor for good in the life of the little Canadian town, and it is around her that much of the narrative centers. The bitter clash of wills between the two bishops does not obtrude upon the peaceful harmony of the atmosphere, for the old man and the younger are really working to- ward the same goal, and their struggle is one of method rather than results. The harmony of the atmosphere is not overdone, in any sense, for Miss Cather does not avoid depic- ting actual conditions. 'Toinette, keeper of a sailor's house, is not a pleasant creature in any sense of the word, but she is real and is as truly a part of the life in the village as is Mother Juschereau, ab- bess of the convent. It seems altogether likely that Miss Cather's rare insight and un- derstanding of a people and a per- iod so different from our own will insure this books' being placed in its rightful category, that of a su- perbly written novel, a classic of contemporary literature. M. 0. 'B. -\asiington Bystander, By Kirke Simpson WASHINGTON-What a lot of color would be erased from senate proceedings if George Moses of New Hampshire should be' toppled out next election. Even the already accomplished addition of James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois to the senate's rafiks or the impending, if indefinitely de- ferred, arrival of Governor-Sena- tor Huey Long of Louisiana could not wholly fill the gap. Both are colorful and will be notable news centers, but the ton- gue of George Moses, his ever-bub- bling wit, his -belligerent temper- ament and those eyes that gleam with such joy of verbal combat be- hind the Moses pinch-nose glasses Would be missed. Anticipation. Newspaper Washington has been savoring with special relish the winter prospects for the senate ever since Moses defied Gerald Nye et al. of the insurgent republican group to oust him from his presi- dent pro tem. honors. Much will come of that. Young Mr. Nye, of North Dakota, despite his manner, of sweet rea- sonableness in debate and the for- mality of tone and diction he fa- vors, even in the liveliest moments, is somewhat of a fighting man him- self. And he has special reason to think that Moses has gone out of his way in the past to pick on him. Reading the latest Moses sugges- tion for a "New England senate bloc" in the light of the Muses-Nye clash, you get an impression that d,-%day=ThursdaymFr'i'*d..ay - ovcmber '4qo 5,9 6 9SJ2 .0 CA, I'll, MPUN ham" s REDEEM PLEDGE COUPONS NOVV of . - . m 4 r' }y 4 a j ; F k >v3;,1 : , .< e,. 9 H IEAT for CARBURIZING i , i # I I EDTO llAL1'COMMENT I ANOTHER GAMBLING.FAILURE (Purdue Exponent) Last Thursday another plan to corrupt Big "Ten football was uncovered and turned into a fiasco. The attempt was so crude and badly managed tha it could not possibly have been the work of professional gamblers but of some crank or jokester trying to put over something big. Three players on the Minnesota team received letters offering them $1,500 apiece to "throw" the game with Wisconsin. At the same time the sports editor of a Minneapolis newspaper was offered $2,500 if he would give Minnesota 5 to 1 odds to win. The letter stated that a group was betting $50,000 on Wisconsin. The entire attempt was so childish that it must have amused head Coach Fritz Crisler. It only re- suited in throwing the student body and the Minne- sota squad into a turmoil and made the headlines of yesterday's mid-western newspapers. The three players took the letters to Minnesota officials as soon as they received them. The story was subsequently given to the papers which was the only way to handle the situation. Had this not been done, nasty rumors would have attached themselves to the players of both schools which no amount of publicity after the game could have removed. Big Ten football has become a business enterprise of such proportions, because of the very nature of the commodity which it presents to the public, that it muts be kept free from even the slightest blemish which incidents like the above will attach to it. The confidence of the public can not be lost quicker than by one example of a contaminated game. Profes- sional baseball has suffered at the hands of the professional gambler. These men, no doubt, see in collegiate football a lucrative oportunity for the same type of foul tactics. If they succeed in "throwing" one game the entire sport will suffer regardless of the, in1,+Ckcb, of l4PrT gFs : s o l' i trr.pzi .rivi', iIc. ;t The new free book "Gas Heat in Industry" may help you solve a few knotty problems. r n W% A LI t 1., t eA [ P1 A AA1 0-1 A r S% ,
