Mussolini's domination of Italy pre- sents a remarkable parallel to the career of Bismarck. When Bismarck made his "Blood and Iron" speech be- fore the deadlocked German Landtag in 1862, he accomplished his purpose by the steam roller method, which is exactly what Mussolini is doing now.

Men's Education Club Organizes Two Ball Teams Prof. J. B. Edmonson presided over the meeting of the Men's Education- Club held Wednesday evening in the Union. Organization of the club for the summer was effected and two baseball captains for the superintend- ents' and principals' teams were chos- en. Meetings will be held every week this summer on Tuesday evenings, at 7 p. m. in the Union. The blub listed 150 members at its opening meeting, and will issue a directory contain- ing their names and addresses. The sheet is being published by Dean E. H. Kraus; it will be ready for dis- tribution next Monday morning. Members of the committee elected to supervise the club during the sum- mer session are A. A. Rather, super- intendent of schools at Ionia; Robert Ward, superintendents of schools at Otsego; and Philip Lovejoy, principal of the Mount Clemens high school.

RAMSAY PUBLIC HEALTH NURSING At the suggestion of the United States public health service and with its co-operation, public health summer schools are being conducted at four of the leading universities in the coun- try. Michigan has been designated as one of these health centers and pro- gressive physicians and sanitarians are taking advantage of the offered opportunities for a vacation in school. The discovery of new scientific facts and the awakening of-the public to the importance of public health measures is not the most pressing problem con- fronting workers in the field of public health. Their problem is rather one of personnel. People of today are de- manding protection from the vast loss- es and great suffering caused by pre- ventable diseases more than ever be-f fore because they are familiar with public health measures, but we face the serious aspect of the problem when we realize that too few people are edequately trained for public health work. The public health summer school aims to provide up-to-date intensive training in this field and to furnish in- struction which will enable physic- ians o deal effecively with the causes of mortality and disability. But the summer school can do more than this. It can and will' establish a more co- operative relationship in the work of. health promotion by bringing togeth- er health officers and practicing phys- icians for conference and exchange of ideas. Progressive health officers are also interested and anxious to become acquainted with the recent develop- ment of the new health movement such as child hygiene, industrial, mental and social hygiene, cancer control and perodic health examina- tion work. A summer school in pub- lic health service affords an excel- lent opportunity for instruction in all such trends. The formal instruction offered in the school is of the best but the course is more than mere classroom instruction. The association of the young man fresh from his first few years of work with the veteran in the field is of invaluable aid in the' thrashing out of health problems and health promotion.

It is significant to note that the brain of Cro-Magnon man was of equal if not greater capacity than that of modern man. The invention of the sewing ma- chine was of no greater importance than the invention of the needle; the invention of the lucifer match was certainly of less moment than the dis- covery of the flint method. Some "cave men" must have been giants in mentality. KEYNOTE CHARACTERISTICS All keynote speeches ane made up largely of buncome. This has been demonstrated not only in the present year of political grace but in every year. The judicious may grieve, but the buncombe persists. At every com- vention, politicians choose, as did the Democrats this year, a typical orator of what is known as the "old school" for the initial effort. And the key- note speaker, as did Pat Harrision the other day, goes to it with full speed. The purpose is to rouse the rabble. After all, what is a convention? A convention is a gathering-a gather- ing of thousands of people. Now the problem of the leaders of any politic- al machine is to transform this gath- ering of thousands into a mob. This is rabble-rousing. A mob or a rab- ble is a gathering of people swayed not by reason but by passion. This is the mental state that politicians desire. The politician is an excellent psychologist; if rabble-rousing did not serve a useful purpose, the polit- icians would have discarded it long ago. Perhaps this may serve to ex- plain keynote speeches in general, and Senator Harrison in particular. "Lying is like borrowing or appro- priating in music. It is only a good, sound, truthful person who can lie to any good purpose; if a man is not habitually truthful his very lies will be false to him and betray him. The converse is also true; if a man is not a good, sound, honest, capable liar there is not truth in him. Any fool can tell the truth, but it requires a man of some sense to know how to lie well."-Samuel Butler. Alfred E. Smith, Willim G. Mc- Adoo, Oscar W. Underood, Samuel M. Ralston, David F.

It ev- idently has been serious enough to force Sig. Mussolini's hand and com- pel him to consent to a considerable restoration of parliamentary forms. But our correspondent at Rome, Mr. -Sheehan, notes that the Socialists ad- mit Mussolini could have maintained the dictatorship for some time despite the scandals which have shaken the prestidge of his regime, and they are grateful for the concessions Mussolini has chosen to make without the comL pulsion of political necessity. It is evident that no fleck of stain has fallen upon the redoubtable mas- ter of Italy, and we hazard a long distance opinion that when he has cleaned house a bit he will be strong- er in the new situation than in the one he relinquishes. This is not the age for permanent dictatorships, and while Italian parliamentarism is com- paratively young and of late years seriously discredited, there is too strong a sentiment of liberty to rest quite easy under an extra legal and personal control, 'even though its pur- ity of purpose and practical benefits are generally conceded. But released from the responsibil- ities of an extra-legal authority, vol- untarily relinquished, Mussolini will gain, we suspect, rather than lose in influence. The Italians show no in- clination to submit the ship of state to doctrinaires or to wrangling political tacticians of the old school. Italy needs a strong, consistent government such as Mussolini, and probably he alone, can maintain. There is no one, it seems to us, who has so. clear a conception of what Italy needs as Mussolini, and none but he with the character required to pursue the ne- cessary course of policy. He' saved Italy from the morass of commun- ism. He knows Italy industry cannot prosper under the load of bureaucra- tic waste or survive perpetual indus- trial warfare. He has the wisdom to see that Italy needs the stimulus of private initiative, the relief of govern- ment economics, the assurance of po- litical stability. In this his fearlessness and master- ful will have the sup rt of the sub- stantial classes and, above all, of Italy's young manhood. ; ;Mussoini's williingness to incor- porate the blackshirt militia in the army indicates his confidence in the vitality of Fascismo, and we have no doubt in any future crisis he will find that the army can be depended upon, - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - VOC Dt nOn There is nothing on sale here but is of the high- est grade--also every- thing reduced All kinds, Auto-Touro, Palmetto, Regulation Wall, "Pup' and children's play Tents, $3.75 up.
