NIGHT EDITOR: ROBERT CUMMINS Make Justiee Just. . T IS INDEED ironical that the President of the American Bar As- sociation, William L. Ransom, should demand ac- tion by the bar to ensure an impartial atmosphere in the courts of the United States, a nation which guarantees a fair, impartial trial to all of its in- habitants. Mr. Ransom referred specifically to the "flagrant offenses" which occurred during the Haptmann trial. Without being concerned with the guilt or innocence of the convicted man, few will deny that the publicity given the trial was a detriment to the carrying out of justice. The newspapers, the radio broadcasting systems and the news reel cameramen helped to create a strong public opinion on the case and such an opinion, being intensified by a great amount of publicity, could not help but affect the decision of the court. The notoriety the trial received is partially the fault of the judge. He should not only have done more to prevent such a great amount of publicity, but in the case of the camermen who took pictures of the trial in progress he should have carried out his threats of fining them for contempt of court. The counsel for both the state and the de- fense are to blame for a great deal of the publicity because ,they were continually giving interviews to reporters and commentators. Personal pub- licity was part of their aim. For the most part, in the newspapers and in the radio programs only the more dramatic inci- dents of the trial were related. The testimony, the basis for any decision in the case, was only briefly related. Such brief accounts of testimony and emphasis on the most exciting points are a natural result of giving the public what it wants to hear or read, as the case may be. But such accounts do not make for a fair opinion on the case, and such opinions undoubtedly had their affect on the court. Entirely too much publicity was given the Hauptmann trial, and it seems to us that the action demanded by the Bar Association president is needed. Furthermore, as he states, it is the duty of the public, the newspapers and the radio to co- operate in the future so that a trial will be con- ducted in accordance with justice and propriety. Such cooperation is necessary if the courts are to administer justice and to render a fair trial, aright that is guaranteed by the constitution and a necessary part of any democracy that is to endure. Have You The Money, Honey? . . A YOUNG FELLOW of our acquaint- ance -he is a graduate student in political science, if you must know-has a some- what novel and entirely remarkable scheme for hurdling the weekly financial barriers met in the course of party-going, beer-drinking, and so on, with the pretty girl he fancies. Well, hold your breath, here's how he does it: Each Saturday he presents to the young lady a carefully itemized bill, in'this wise: Movies ...................$1.40 Cab fares ................$1.00 The dance Friday . , .......$2.65 Beer .....................$0.90 Hot chocolate, etc. .......$0.85 Then he jots down what might be termed a sum- mary: Total for wek: 8680-Yourv shr. 340 He simply can't see why a girl who "goes with" him should be supported by him. And he adds that he suspects some girls must feel it a little degrading to be leaning in a monetary way on the economic arm of their escort. We believe the average college woman will be found to be exactly as intelligent, competent, honest, straightforward, and able to make her way in the world as the average college man. We are convinced most women think this equality desirable and socially just -so why abrogate it when the young man and the young woman ap- proach the cash register after an evening of fun? May I have your $2.75 for the J-Hop ticket, dear? As Others SeeIt__ State Oaths For Teachers (From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch) MANY WORDS have been written and spoken in the fight against teachers' oaths. The prac- tice of requiring teachers to take oaths as a con- dition of employment has been denounced as un- necessary and unjust, as lending itself to tyranny and regimentation, as discriminatory, repressive, prying, absurd. None of the denunciations, how- ever, seems half so effective in indicting the teach- ers' oath on all these counts as the text of the pledge required by one of the 22 states which have adopted the practice, Rhode Island. The full text of the document is as follows: I, as teacher and citizen, pledge allegiance to the United States of America, to the State of Rhode Island and to the American public school system. I solemnly promise to support the Consti- tution and the laws of the Nation and State, to acquaint myself with the laws of the state re- lating to public education, and also the re- quirements and instructions of my official superiors, and faithfully to carry them out. I further promise to protect the school rights of my pupils, to conserve the democracy of school citizenship, to honor public education as a principle of free government, to respect the profession of education as public service, and to observe its ethical principles and rules of professional conduct. I pledge myself to neglect no opportunity to teach the children committed to my care loyalty to nation and state, honor to the flag, obedience to law and government, respect for public servants entrusted for the time being with the functions of government, faith in government by the people, fealty to the civic principles of freedom, equal rights and human brotherhood, and the duty of every citizen to render service for the common welfare. I shall endeavor to exemplify in my own life and conduct in and out of school the social virtues of fairness, kindliness and service as ideals of good citizenship. I affirm, in recognition of my official obliga- tion, that, though as a citizen I have the right of personal opinion, as a teacher of the public's children, I have no right, either in school hours or in the presence of my pupils out of school hours, to express opinions that conflict withj honor to country, loyalty to American ideals, and obedience to and respect for the laws of nation and state. In all this I pledge my sacred honor and subscribe to a solemn oath that I will faithfully perform to the best of my ability all the duties of the office of teacher in the public schools. Most of the things which Rhode Island teach- ers must promise and swear are the essentials of decent citizenship - and it has always been taken for granted that teachers as a class are decent citienzs. Those few who may not intend to exemp- lify the many virtues catalogued will not hesitate a moment in swearing that they will do so, if a job can be gained thereby. It would seem possible to depend for regulation of school teachers' be- havior on the ordinary safeguards of society: in- dividual conscience and the law enforcement agen- cies plus, in this instance, the right of the school boards to hire and fire. Laws proposing teachers' oaths will come before the legislatures of 20 additional states, including Missouri, at their next sessions. It would be well. for private citizens and legislators to study the Rhode Island oath to learn what petty business their states would let themselves in for by adopt- ing such laws. Beak That Ice (From the Daily Pennsylvanian) HOUSTON HALL has initiated a plan which during this month of January will do much toward erasing that much-bewailed gap between students and faculty, which seems to be a natural evil on any large university campus. Informal afternoon social affairs, to be presided over by the wives of the members of the faculty, are to begin on Wednesday in the reading room of the student union. This new project has significances which are of vast importance. Continual efforts by almost every organized group of the campus to maintain the highest degree of student unity have often failed, due, in part, to the old argument of com- muter's home interests and the like. But another and equally as potent influence which has been too often overlooked is the neglect of the under- graduates to seek faculty cooperation. If we look back and recall the student-faculty smokers spon- sored last by the Wharton School and the College, we then have two most noteworthy examples of just how successful cooperative ventures of this sort can readily become. We often wonder: Do we neglect the faculty or do they neglect us, beyond our necessary class- room relations. The true answer to this question lies in the failure of either party to take the initiative. Our social tradition along these lines has lain fallow for so long that neither side has seemed willing to break the ice, beyond occasional a A vnea nnw,,,avAd han -,mra by,.-. -nz,,,-,i.oc Zto The Conning Tower THE HOSPITAL I. Approaching near and nearer now the old Inexorable tyranny of dread Couches again. Death smiles and scans the cold Uncounted stars that shudder overhead. II. The pouring darkness seems to close around A sinking universe: far voices call Across strange seas of silence: and the sound Is ebbing, surging, ebbing down the hall. II.

The accusation that the President's timing of his address, as well as that of his using the radio, was politics wearies us. Of course it was politics. And what party, from the Communist down, or up, scorns to use all the politics at its command? "Shall we say to the home owners," was one of the President's rhetorical questions, "we have reduced your rates of interest?" Well, Mr. Pres- ident if you said it to this home owner, you would be telling him news. He pays the same rate of interest - or owes the same rate - that he paid in the glorious summer of 1929. The President asked his enemies to be specific. Yet, when he quoted the wise philosopher at whose feet he had sat many, many years ago, he failed to say - the (/P) found out Saturday morning --that the quoted philosopher was Josiah Royce. Our guesses, while the quotation was being broadcast, were William James, Charles W. Eliot, and Wood- row Wilson. Many, many years ago, in Madison Square Gar- den, we sat at the feet of an excellent orator who quoted Wordsworth, without credit. He was nomi- nating Alfred Emanuel Smith for the Presidency. He called him The Happy Warrior. GRANDMOTHER BEAM IN SUNDAY SCHOOL (As Told to Orson Wagon) WHENEVER New Year's comes I always think of the New Year that your grandfather and I made a resolution to go to New York. We had never been there, either of us. When we said New York we always meant New York City. Any- where else was just York State to us. We had been in York State. Mr. Beam was born in Little Falls and I was born in Pulaski. My sister lived in Williamstown and we both had been there on trips from Kansas. But we never went to New York. So when this New Year's Day came, Mr. Beam said he had resolved to take me to New York before the year was over. We had money laid by to go to the World's Fair in Chicago and so we just thought we would go on to New York from there. And of course we did. We stayed at a hotel. It had a French name. I don't remember what. But it was a long way from the depot and we rode to it in one of those cabs with the driver on a high seat behind us. That seemed funny because out on the farm we always drove our own horses and never had any- one to drive for us. We went to church, I remember. To Sunday School, too. Oh yes. I remember that so well. I was in a women's class. We always said Ladies' Bible Class then. A man was teaching it. I was just visiting. I wasn't a member of the class at all. But this man said so much about keeping the Sabbath that the women just didn't like it much. But no one said anything. He said the Sabbath just couldn't be kept. That it just wasn't possible now-a-days. He was so emphatic about it that before I thought, I said: "Why?" Has the fourth commandment been changed?" (I knew he thought I was Samanthy Allen.) "Why, no-o," he said, "but how would you keep the Sabbath?" And just that quick the catechism came to me and I said: "'The Sabbath is to be sanctified by a holy resting all that day, even from such worldly em- ployment and recreation as are lawful on other days, and spending the whole time in the public and private exercise of God's worship, except so much as is to be taken in the work of necessity and mercy.'" After class one of the women told me she was glad I said that. But why didn't they say some- thing? the Hawaiian princess whom the natives firmly believe saved Hilo.-- H. T. editorial. Trn,0nfivr nri. cnil, Wnsrlich1 A Washington BYSTA N DER By KIRKE SIMPSON WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-The best thing for the man-in-the-street to do about official party predictions at this stage is read 'em and laugh. It does not make any difference whether it is National Chairman Farley of the Democrats claiming a Roosevelt reelection by as big or bigger electoral majorities than were rolled up in '32; National Chairman Fletcher of the Republicans solemn-, ly proclaiming "there are no differ-1 ences in the Republican party"; or Republican National Committeeman Creager of Texas sounding off about glowing prospects of breaking the "solid South" next year. These are just routine campaign utterances. They are as inescapably a part of the political game as tree trimmings are of Christmas or egg- nog of New Year's. WHAT Farley, Fletcher and Creag- er actually think would make very interesting reading. That any of them would frankly unburden his mind of his inmost thoughts on '36 probabilities for publication is not conceivable. That is not the way party officials function. Wherefore the December outgivings from such sources are about as trust- worthy a guide to him seeking to peer into the political future as are most of the straw ballots taken to date. Of what value can it be to sound voters on New Deal sentiment when the other essential half of the ques- tion is lacking New Deal or what? Roosevelt or who? All that can come of such pollings is detection of a trend. Actually, that is all anybody has yet been able to see, a trend away from Roosevelt New Dealism. A handful of municipal elections last November showed that trend.1 More important state elections left it in much doubt. Witness the New York vs. Kentucky case. Since then an old-time Republican congressional stronghold in Michigan which re- sisted the Democratic New Deal] sweeps of '32 and '34 has filled a house Republican vacancy by elect- ing a Republican. The Dutch woul'da seem to have taken Hollanld again. But have they? *k * * REPRESENTATIVE-ELECT MAIN is or was a Townsend plan out- and outer. He got a two-to-one ver- dict over an anti-Townsend plan] Democrat. He had the support of] Republican state leaders like Sen- ator Vandenberg, a very possible ma- jor figure in the Republican presi- dential nomination race. Unquestionably the Townsend plan is the back-of-beyond in that po- litical and economic "experimenta-j tion," so deplored by Republican spokesmen. It took Vandenberg about a thousand well chosen words to explain how he could be at once for Main's election as "in sturdy] sympathy" with the general Repub- lican point of view and at the same time utterly against the Townsend plan. That Vandenberg statement is a choice morsel for future politicians faced with a difficult bit of tight-rope' walking. Native candor or fear of ridicule prompted the senator torad- mit that the Townsend plan "domin- ated" the primary that picked Main to run. The implication is that good Republican anti-New Dealism dom- inated the actual election. Maybe the Townsend planners are cheering too soon over their Michigan recruit. :- MUSIC .. By MARY JANE CLARK It must have taken a good deal of professional bravery for Mr. Vladimir Golschman to bring his orchestra to Hill Auditorium last night, following, as he did, the previous concert played by the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The perfection which that organiza- tion represents makes it very nearly impossible for any other orchestra to avoid somewhat of a drop, for after the ultimate, what is there? The Von Weber Overture to "Ober- on" made a nice balance for the sec- ond "fairy story" which ended the program, Raval's Daph'nis and Chloe. The first work consists of a series of mood pictures: the call of the elves and their scampering across the green, a fairy march -- solemn, but with fanciful interjections by the strings, and fairy love-making by the sensitive, tenuous violins. To the second compositionbelong perhaps more definite pictures, the reason probably being that our minds can hardly detach the music from the Ballet Ruse and its genius, Diaghileff. The Ravel score, although not pho- tographic, catches the essence of the story so completely that, with or without the Ballet, we are carried away on a soft breeze to summertime, a meadow of nymphs, and Pan play- ing on his reed for the lost Syrinx. The strings were, without argu- ment, the most finished and profes- WEDNESDAY, JAN. 15, 1936 VOL.
