He was in- ed enonymously in San Miguel ty, the center of the. gang's ac- es. n.ong the outstanding evils of the ent system is the frequency of 'ictions for critical utterances iate indictment,. and conviction in- variably followed within three or four days. Such suppression of public sen- timent is the surest way to bring personal interests into control of com- mual affairs. Without full freedom of the press in a section so populated by foreigners, easily influenced by the underhand ring-leaders of political machines, nothing short of gross neg- lect of the government can be ex- pected. Magee stood by to the last for free- dom of the press and in the light of the shady aspect of his recent con- viction on two charges, the Governor of New Mexico pardoned him within two days after he had ben sentenced to a year's imprisonment in tne state penitentiary. Impeachment of the of- fice holders belonging to this polit- ical ring has been threatened through a petition which is now being circulat- ed but the dMficulty of such. action almost prohibits its success. Our im- peachment statutes have often urged greater discrimination before taking such drastic action but cases of this sort would be more easily solved if the laws for removal from office were not so cumbersome and ineffectual.

This plan is by no means a novel one at the University, but has been carried out for several years during summer school with a marked degree of success. The tennis tourneys have, in past years, been conducted by Dr. George A. May and George Moe, and as many as 50 or 60 entrantsnhave participated in them. These match- es have proven to be of much inter- est and enjoyment to all participants and the co-operation of the students again this summer will insure their being reinstated immediately. It is also desirous to run off a horse- shoe pitching contest this summer, if enough entrants can be received, Any- one interested should call Hal Gess- ner at 732. R. H. YESTERDAY By SMYTHE A Vicious Circle Signor Mussolini has evidently de- cided that there is something rotten in Italy. Each day brings a new edict for the extirpation of one thing or an- other. First it is decreed that the newspapers shall print nothing that is untrue, or at least nothing that is unsatisfactory to the government. Now comes another announcement that "no games which savor either openly or secretly of gambling" will 'be permitted. It is a reform niove- ment very much like the one that swept over this country after the ex- citment of war days had subsided. The pendulum swings back and forth. War and its immediate aftermath brings- a desire to escape from the realities and hardships of existence. Then comes the morning after with a brown taste and a desire for reform. The saddest part of the whole af- fair is the short memory of the pub- lic. Wear and the consequences are soon forgotten. Then comes the 'growth of arrogance, selfishness, and pride, followed by more wars, more ,disasters, and more sorrows. The Maine's Commander Rear Admiral Charles D. Sigsbee, the third of a great triumvirate of Spanish-American War naval com- manders, has passed on to the im- mortal realm of everlasting fame. As commander of the ill-fated battleship Maine and later as' captain of a mer- cantile ship transformed for use as a scouting vessel during the strategic "bottling up" of Cervera's fleet in San- tiago Bay, he gained renown for his valor. It was not as a sailor, however, that Admiral Sigsbee did his greatest ser- vice for the country. His inventions for use in deep-sea cruising and for exploration of the sea bottom are great sources of good to the government in time of peace as well as war. Admir- al Sigsbee was a sailor who knew his boats and men, as well as the seas on which he sailed. Pulling the Trigger A patrolman in New York saw Wil- liam Halloran draw a pistol from his pocket and level it on his temple. The shot rang out just as the officer arrived o the spot. Halloran drop- ped. The patrolman called an ambul- ance and when doctors arrived on the scene they found burns on the man's temple but no bullet hole. The would- be suicide had inadvertently used a blank cartridge. There is no doubt, however, that Halloran must have suffered a tense moment. Having planned to take his 'life, he pulled the trigger and figured that all was over. It was death for him just before the moment of realiza- tion. A weaker person might actually have been killed by the simple act of pulirig the trigger. The istate of ,mind, the shot, and the burning of the powder on his temple were realis- tic enough to have killed many a man. Halloran was lucky. Text ,Books and Supplies for All Colleges I r _r i I JI .GRAHAM'S-Both Ends of the Diagonal cial operations as have been revealed. in the past will no longer be possible. We trust that the supervision to be exercised by the bursar's office will be more than a perfunctionary audit and elimination of illegal payments from funds. Such an audit, it is much to be regretted, will often be necessary. There have been rumors and revela- tions of shady"ldealings in the conduct of class and campus affairs in the past that would scarcely pass in day- light. Supervision of these accounts by members of the bursar's staff would eliminate any dishonesty. but they should do even more than this. The amount of money wasted in student enterprises of various, sorts far ex- ceeds what is lost through dishonesty. It is in eliminating this waste that the business office can do its greatest ser- vice. The University is to receive two percent of all receipts in return for handling the finances of the affairs. That should be sufficient to pay for more than perfunctory supervision. It is only by exercising strict and intel- ligent supervision that the Univer- sity employes assigned to the work can give to the activities the. full measure of success which should come out of the plan.

CAMPUS OPINION A TENNIS TOURNAMENT I During the past week an attempt has been made to start a program of various summer sports for the, benefit 'of summer school students, this pro- gram to include all sports adapted to tjais time of the year, such as tennis, horseshoe and indoor baseball. As yet little interest has been shown among the student body and unless more en- trants are received within the next few days the plan will have -to be abandoned, according to Dr. George A. May of the department of physical training. Entries are especially requested at once for a proposed tennis tourna- ment, in both the singles and doubles, Because of the length of time required to run off a long series of such events, the first round of matches must be played early next week. Prizes will be awarded to the winners in both events, the entrance to which can be made at Moe's Sport Shop, at 711 North University avenue. A nominal fee of 20 cents will be charged each entrant to provide for the prizes sinle these summer sports are run separate fr-m th Tnt -mi nI-l 4 -rt on s . ._ , P'j~ w # cbs . ... ..

Students spend thousands of dollars on their dances, and other entertainments every year. The affairs have grown so multifarious and complex that some expert supervision is necessary.
