PATTERSON WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN Che death of Williarn Jennings Bry- marks the passing of one of the st powerful, most strong -willed, at . righte'ous men that the world s known during the past century. his 65 years, Mr. Bryan built up himself a more 'potential throne .n has ever been erected oy any line Tulers in any land. )ne of the world's mo captivat- speakers, Mr. Bryan has, for 30 ors, been one. of the most powerful nences in Americau religious, po- cal, and home life. At '36 years sge, he did what no tan befure or ce hs ever been able to do,--he k a great national political con- ition by sorm, and was nominated the presidency of the United tes. And for a decade and a half, he Great Commoner" remained the st influential individual in Amer- a politics. During that time, he Sr as nearly as humanly possi- the dictator of the democratic ty for the presidency, and thrice he k.reJected by the people to whom had appealed by a comparatively ill part of the popular vote. 'illam Jennings Bryan was at e the most popular and mo t shed at man in the country,-while lions were following his doctrines biout question, other millions were ampting to ignore his platforms by sing them off in a humorous vein. advocated everything from free lage of silver to the unqualified eptance of the Bible, and whether not we agree with the stands h k upon these different matters, cannot help but mire him for sincerity of action and honesty of uight. - o matter what causehie undertook, untiring human, who could speak .ost continuously for hours and rs without either stopping or be- wing monotonous, undertook with of the strength and energy that he sessed. Most of his doctrines, the ster majority of the people of this eration are prone to disregard, but must recognize in him the great rer who forced the ultimate pass- of the 18th amendment, and to 5 man, the author of the immem-1 it "Prince of Peace," we must ever k as the first great political pro-. ent of the Kingdom of Peace. he nation did not agree' with ny of his doctrines, but the nation ps today to pay tribute to the man om posterity will probably consid- he man, his platforms, his achieve- its, are as naught; America has ' one of her few really great men, America realizes her loss. Te suppose that wife-beating is ut the only crime for which men e not been executed, but a Cali- ia court has taken the first step ard such an action by forbidding )EDITORIAL COMMENT THE PRICE OF COAL (The Detroit News) It would be interesting to know to what.extent the United Mine Workers of America and the owners and oper- ators of the coal mines are depending on the outcome of the situation in England to govern their policies here. .A few years ago when there was a strike in the British mines a sudden demand for American coal arose in Europe. If the British miners strike this fall, thereby sending up the price of British coal, there will doubt- less be heavy orders of American coal from abroad. American mine opera- tors will want to profit by this de- mand, which will almost cer- tainly send prices bounding upward, chiefly the prices of the best grade of bituminos. Perhaps the American operators are hoping for a British strike and even counting on it, since it would play into their hands by boostift prices and profits. Perhaps the United Mine Workers are count- ing on it also as a means of forcing the operators, who will want their mines working at full production. to pay the scale of Wages they are de- manding. This would be a matter wth which President Coolidge should have power to deal. The people of the United States ought to be protected against a rising coal market due to a sudden foreign demand. They should be as- sured a full supply of coal at a reasonable price before the extra de- mand from abroad could be filled. But the President has no power either to fix prices 'in an emergency, or to de- clare an embargo. If the British mines are tied upAmerican operators and miners stand, to profit, and the American consumer to lose, because of the failure of Congress to foresee that a situation which has already occurred can happen again. SCIENCE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS (The New York Times) The State Department of Education has just issued a syllabus in general science for pupils studying that sub- ject, to take the place of the first- year biology in the high school. -It is not stated whether the course in general science is "prescribed" or is only optional. At any rate, entrance has been made and there will be an opportunity to demonstrate the rela- tive value of a course bringing into view the field of science as a whole rather than one compelling immature students - to begin with an intensive laboratory course in one of the sci- ,ences.1 .nSuch a comprehensive view of man in relationship to his environment t is the obvious desire of some, afraid of scientific reasoning, to shut away from children and youth. "And what is scientific reasoning? asked an as- sociate of Pasteur. His answer, Fe- cently quoted in tribute to a great scientist and teacher, the late Prof. Henry, M Thomas of Johns Hop- kins hospital, was, "Simply this: "reasoning exercised with the Salu- fear of self-deceit and the firm resolve to avoid it." It cannot be :ha we are to a:oid deceiving our- s-lvas in our own thinking and then try to deceive those whom we are to tMach to think for themselves. The general science course has among its announced aims that of training th student in the use of "the scientific method," and that of fostering in the pupil" a confidence and belief in the knowledge he gains by the use of the scientific methods." The latter training in the use of this method has the arnounced further and moral pur- pose of influencing the daily conduct of the pupil thorugh theforniiation of good habits. The syllabus has nothing to say specifically about evolution, but if a pupil follows it under the guidance of a competent teacher, firm in the re- solve to avoid self-deceit, he is bound to come through with a consciousness of -the immanence of some ordering mind in an evolving creation through which science,. moving slowly. "creep- ing on from point to point," finds one "increasing purpose" still running. It is only a coward mind that will fear, to follow where it leads. Five years ago Coach Yost express- ed his gratification at the eligibility of the Varsity athletes. The student and alumni body hopes that he will be able to express those same feel- ings next fall. Does the fact that 63 percent of the world's .telephones are in the United States account for the efficiency of our operators? We've been to Put-In-Bay, but any- way we hope the excursionists had a good time. I ASTED ROLLV DARN THESE 1 ~GIGGERSS There are times when we have some patience, and there are other times when we control our temper with a perhaps visible but none the less ef- fective demonstration of will power, but there are limits. A few days ago we commented on gigglers in moving picture theaters. We even went so far as to recommend their execution. We now feel that hanging is too good for them. It hap- pened Sunday. We were at the Arc (Adv.) seeing the current perform- ance there (which is really quite good). Olaf the Great was with us, having returned from his northern trip. We were enjoying the show when from behind came a burst of giggles. We looked around and be- held this time not three, but many gigglers-fully half a row of them. We spoke of them loudly to Olaf. It did no good. Nothing will do any good--nothing but shooting or sim- ilar lead-poisoning. But we're pack- ing a gun-be warned, gigglers. Una Form has sent in another com- munication in the form of a paragrap We are evidently-intended to insert it as though we knew who Una is and had just heard her make the state- ment. We do not know Una. There are times When we might have wish- ed we did, but-oh, well-. The paragraph follows: "Una Form is hurt to think that Peat Bog even questions the sincerity' of her views. Her opinions are somewhat weaken- ed, true, from recent experience, but she still believes the Michigan man a Very 'shy little creature much given to his den. Where is the western brawn and handclasp we've heard so much about down east? Tell me, oh, Peat Bog!" There is an element of cowardice in the manner of Una's letters. She has never yet included her address or telephone number. We guarantee not to publish it when received, and Peat Bog feels quite sure that he can con- vince her of the error of her thoughts. And Una, he's big and tall and hand- some and comes from the great out- doors 'where, etc. * *s. I want to know just why they had to get a probation officer to take charge of Martha Cook. I've only been around a little, and I've heard "things" that make me wonder. Tell me why. -Rattling Pug. Pug, you have asked us something. yes, indeed you have. We hesitate to reply, but just- send us a self-ad- dressed stamped envelope, and we will reply confidentially to your query. We feel that you are old enough to know. " . Seriously- It all seems very unkind. For 20 years the newspapers have been stick- ing thorns in a man's path, an' then just as soon as he kicks off they start "ining competition with each other to see who can pile the most roses -n h; coffin. -Jeff's Playmate. R f UNIVERSITY GRADUATE CAPTUR- ED IN CHINA"-headling in 0. 0. D. We have always wondered when they'd catch one of them. The story didn'a tell, but we'll bet that Roy Chapman Andrews caught him. Leave it to that boy when they want some- thing rare. Now that they've got him, we wonder just what they'll do with him. Despite the fact that Olaf the Great got back from his northern trip on Sunday, he will be unable to produce sleepytime stories for a few days while he catches up with his classes. Our idea of something awful is to get an invitation to visit your best girl during the week set for final ex- ams. Never mind, though, we're go- ing to try to go for a while, at least. Bet we're inelligible next fall * * * Somebody started the rumor the other day that we were downhearted. They were mistaken, but we can un- derstand why they thought we were. We had rolled in at 1:30 o'clock the night before and risen at 3:30 to go fishing with our consistent partner of the field and stream, Bill, of excursion fame. * * * Oh, by the way,-we caught a real fish, too. Taman With publication of the various jobs held by our football heroes, hadn't someone better write a letter to' the effect that finally they're where they, belong? 110th TIME' G A R R I K Evest T50 to52.50 y Wyed.a. 50cto $1.90- 13th Big Week Sat.
