MANSFIELD "A man's ignorance some times is not only useful, but beautiful-while his knowledge,I so-called, is oftentimes useless, besides being ugly. Which is the best man to deal with-he who knows nothing about a sub- Ject, and, what is extremely rare, knows that he knows noth- Ing, or he who really knows something about it, but thinks that he knows it all? My desire for knowledge is intermittent; but my desire to bathe my head in atmosphere unknown to my feet is perennial and constant. The highest that we can attain tois not knowl- edge, but sympathy with intell- igence. I do not know that this high- er knowledge amounts to any- thing more definite than a novel and grand surprise or a sud- den revelation of the insfficiency of all we called knowledge be- fore-a discovery that there are more things in heaven than are dreamed of in our philosophy. It is the lighting up of the mist by the sun. Man cannot KNOW in any higher sense than this, any more than he can look serenely and with impunity in the face of the sun. -HENRY DAVID THOREAU. CAMPUS FABLES No. II-The Movie Fan There was a certain student, a fine fellow, who was wont to spend his evenings.at the movies. He hated the "sob stuff'; and when some gray-hair- ed mother placed a light in a window or some child lay dying for want of a mother's love, or the villian repent- ed in the last act, he writhed in agony and his criticism fairly siz- zled. All this old hokum gave him a pain. ;e did not enjoy comedies, pie throwing, slap-stick stuff; and he hat- ed the Wild West as portrayed by the heroes of movieland. He claimed that strict censorship was necessary for the great American nation was in im- minent danger of having its sense of the aesthetic and the humorous per- verted by this foul trash. Nothing, he said again and again, was so dang- erous to the national art as this sort of rough-neck cinema. But when the movie advertisement and the title promised fine costumes and bed-room scene and enough sex stuff to afford a thrill he could not have been tied at home with a dog chain. Many times he was disappoint- ed for the censors had clipped the thrill from many a naughty bit of reel, and on such occasions he cursed all the censors in the world and howled for intellectual freedom. The cotillion, once popular in this aoun y, ISbaeing revived in England. Italy In Retrospect By X. K. W. Count Tolstoy, in his War and Peace, written a few decades ago, pre- dicted a great universal conflict, at the close of which some new Napoleon was to dominate Europe from Arch- angel to Madrid. Instead of a great continental dictator, however, we find a petty dictator in almost every na- tion on the European continent. Of all these Soldiers of Fortune, perhaps the greatest is the Italian, Mussolini, leader of the Facisti, or Young Italy, movement. As usual, we find that the man is made by the lircumstancss. A m'an +of humble birth, he educated himself and be- came editor of one of Italy's leading liberal periodicals; with the rise of dissatisfaction, this puppet of fate was literally swept into the position of what in Italy stands for all law. After the war, the Communistic wing of the Socialist party came into great power, and openly announced their intention of introducing into Italy a government similar to the Russian Soviet. Drunk 'on success, they seized enormous estates of land- ed noblemen, made raids anywhere and on any occasion they saw fit, making the fatal mistake of attack- ing the Church, and hence losing the support of the Italian people at large. Suddenly, a strange movement took place, which resembled to a great ex- tent the action of the Ku Klux Klan in our Southern states immediately after the Civil War: armed bands of young men, conveyed to the scene of action by motor lorries, prevented ef- fectually every attempt of the Com- inunists. These men identified them- selves with the virtues of the old Ro- man Republic, taking their name for the fasces, or Roman badge of author- ity. Mussolini, a man of great influ- ence among them, seized the leader- ship. With an army that has been said to number 500,000 (beyond doubt an exaggeration), he moved on Rome, and demanded the immediate dissoultion of the Cabinet. The Cabinet members were furious, and petitioned Victor Emanuel to de- clare Martial law, to call out the army, and to put a stop to the revolution- ary attempts of this youthful horde. The king with foresight unusual among crowned heads, perceived that much popular agitation must have brought about a movement so p'ronounced, and refused to comply with the demands of the frightened and indignant Cab- inet. The Cabinet there upon could do nothing but resign, and Mussolini was granted an interview with the king. Mussolini, attired in full-dress trousers, spats, a high silk hat, and a black flannel shirt, arrived with picturesque gusto. He stated his claims fully and clearly and the re- sult was his apopintment as absolute dictator to the great acclamation of the masses. The parliament was dis- solved, and Mussolini began to work marvels in Italy. The railroads, which had been losing business, were sold to private corporations, taxes were reduced, and countless reforms were at once effected. Last November, a popular election was held, and Mussolini was returned as Prime Minister. Things ran fairly smoothly until June, 1924, when Mat- teotti, a powerful member of the op- position was kidnapped, and appar- ently murdered. The crime, while never fully solved, was traced to lead- ing men in the Facist party. Signoi Alberti, a leader of the Popular and Constitutional Democratic parties made a direct attack on Mussolini and the Facisti; but Mussolini very clever- ly avoided this by openly promising to see that justice was administered ly there muffled rumbling of agita Mussolini's popularity and power i hard to establish, but while outwardl his political sea is unrippled, inward ly there muffled rumblinbs of agita tion are to be detected. Mussolini is a player to the grand- stands, a crafty diplomat, and an ex- cellent mixer. Americans have de- scribed him as very willing to en- gage in conversation on almost any topic, democratic in action, and im- pressive. He is enormously popula: with the lower classes. His policy however, is decidedly imperialistic greatly resembling that advocated b: Machiavelli and Von Treitzche. HE has certainly accompished marvels i: replacing Italy on the road to prosper ity, but how long his structure o power will stand is hard to determ ine. History, however, has shown it power for repitition. Once again it the name of freedom there has rises into power an absolute dictator. T- i.

The games, he says, will be won by the team having the most powerful I athletes, the best training, and the most luck. This came as a revela- tion to us, and we heartily reprint it that you also, dear reader, may have the benefit of his wisdom. Our correspondent has been in Paris for some time proceeding the games and he states that the great influx of English speaking and reading peo- ple for the great carnival of sport has resulted in the use of English on signs in many of the parks of that city. He sent us a picture showing the terrible result of this practice when a Frenchman, not able to read Eng.. lish, passed up a sign. We reprint the photo below. * * * After a long and diligent seach, our correspondent found a suitable! lodging house, so he writes. He sent us a snap shot of it, alon; with the rest, and states, as usual, that the X marks the room which he occupies.. The H. in the lower left hand cor- ner is a National highway sign. bI In order to prove to us that he has attended the games a little, he sent a snap of Paddock making the fatal error of looking around at the end of the 200-meter run. He lost the race to Scholz, U. S., in case you haven't been reading the Daily since our last appearance..- ad business, this look-$ ing backward.
