DONAHUE Assistant-Robert Ramsay FIGHTING THE SOCIALISTS Believing that the wild-eyed, loud mouthed Social- ist has duped the people of Michigan long enough without any opposition, a new type of soap box orator has made its headquarters in Detroit. The Constitutional Defense League has begun to start operations in this state. Its speakers talk from the soap box on the curb and distribute their literature among the pedestrians, using practically the same methods as do the radical Socialists. They preach doctrine of Americanism against Socialism of social reform versus revolution, and they preach it with vigor, challenging any Socialist to a public debate at any time of night or day. They are skill- ed orators who have made an extensive study of the radical's philosophy and type of argument and are capable of meeting its expounders in debate. The League has been organized three years and it has been doing some commendable work. Such an organization most certainly has a service to perform. Soap box oratory, though not very convincing in name, wields a great influence over the minds of many, and much dirty work has been successfully carried out by the radical Socialists through just such methods of getting at the public. The Socialists in America have carried on extensive and powerful propaganda, and their glib-tongued expounders have not been unheard. But until the Constitutional Defense League was organized, they had none to refute their strong-lunged statements to the people whose minds are swayed by what they hear from the sop box pulpit. Now the soap box audience has an opportunity to hear the other side of a yellow propaganda that makes its appeal to the working class. Though the League's speakers are exceedingly interesting and have a wealth of sound arguments and good material in back of them, their business need not carry them to Ann Arbor because the So- cialists of this city are happily confined exclusively to the parlor type. SUMMER SPORTS Gone are Joes' and the Orient, but in their place as rendezvous for refreshment craving students has arrived the pop corn stand. Pop corn unlike most other things has had a revival out of all proportion with any discoveries in its qualities. During the period immediately following the passing of the eighteenth amendment, students have sought, quite unsatisfactorily it would seem, for a substitute for their rolicking times at these places, and as a con- sequence soda fountains and lunch counters have sprung up in .vast numbers. The most satisfactory solution yet discoveerd seems to be the pop corn stand. Like all modern industries that would keep and increase their business vast improvements have been made, until today the pop corn vender is as much a business man as any other person who caters to student trade. After the first lap of studying, or perhaps getting ready to study, the fragrant scents of freshly roasted corn which float up and down State street tempt scores of students and residents to desert their toils, in order to make purchases. When one views the greatness of the throng which stands patiently in line to get the corn, one cannot help but wonder what the cause of this in- creased consumption may be. It is possible that there has been a resurrection of thrift in students, but that is little credited. However, it is to be re- gretted that the popularity of pop corn like other summer delicacies will doubtlessly wane with the departure of summer. TAKING PART (Ann Arbor Times News) Carlton F. Wells, Ann Arbor's new state golf champion, made several statements in his talk at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon Tuesday noon which are deserving of wider circulation. Chief among them, perhaps, was the contrast be- tween golf and football, which he brought out forci- bly during his remarks. At a football game, said Mr. Wells, not one person in ten in the stands plays the game. In golf, although the galleries are far smaller, practically every person in the gallery plays the game. This is a new way of pointing out one of the big reasons for the rapid spread of interest in golf. Everyone who is not actually crippled can play the game. Young children are learning to play on three of the courses near Ann Arbor, while on the same links enthusiasts well past middle age may also be found. The great stimulus in golf is in bettering your own game, rather thon in beating some one else, and in this difference from many other athletic con- tests, also, probably lies some of the fascination of the links. That interest in the ancient Scotch game is grow- ing in Ann Arbor is apparent from the steadily in- creasing memberships of the local clubs. The bring- ing of the state championship to this city will add to the keenness with which local enthusiasts will take up golf. There is no danger that golf will usurp the place of baseball in American sports, for the national pastime has as firm a hold as ever on the interest of a million fans. But golf interest is growing and will continue to grow through the even closer hold which it exerts on the thousands of men and women who actually play the game. Pig league baseball will continue to reign su- preme as a national spectacle, but golf is the com- ing national pastime. THE FRYING PAN "-a flash in the Pan." The teacher are a queerly crowd. In winter nice and cool It teach the moron loud To mind the gilt-edge rool But when the simmer come about We education do without - THEN the teacher go to school! Gallows-Meat The onion who says our imported cigarettes may be all right in their place but their place hasn't been dug yet. "As dishonorable," says the answer to the eti- quette problem in the Chi Trib yesterday, "as dis- honorable as one who would deliberately open a let- ter addressed.to another is a person who reads a communication left unfinished." Very dishonorable, and besides, the technique is bad; you should wait until the letter is finished so you can get all the dope. "Smoking Taken Seriously by British Women." So is smoking taken seriously by American wom- en, especially members of the W. C. T. U., and the old ladies of both sexes in the Prohibition party. He'd been in Paris two weeks once; His nerve was monumental; And in that time he had acquired A manner continental. So when he left her at the door His conduct was too shameless; He deftly kissed her on each cheek- The girl remarked, "How aimless." VACATION BLURBS A little breeze blowin' in off the lake; the farther shore still blue with early haze. The sun just break- in' up over the edge of trees and splashin' bold all over the little waves. The rhythmic creak "of row- locks from the cove: and the bang of the screen door as you come out on the porch to splash the sleep out of your eyes with cold water and gulp in the chill morning air and the smell of cookin' coffee That's vacation! An' me here in Ann Arbor. Well, fourteen more days. In some towns the crime wave seems to be a permanent wave. "Students Imitate U. of M.: Jailed." When in Rome, you know, one should obey the Roman speed laws. "What," said the guy who puts his collar on over his head, "they have 'The Taming of the Shrew' on the campus ? Gee, is that old chestnut runnin' yet ?" The Hogan Prize of two hundred magnums of rag-weed serum will be awarded the person who discovered his reserved seat at the Campus Open Air theater on the opening night. CALIGULA.
