In spite of anti-smoke ordinances int some sections of the country, the bat-; tle for the "right to smoke" is consid- ered fairly won by some feminist} leaders. The authority of the Depart- ment of. Commerce is quoted as sup-, porting the evidence that the tremen- dous increase in the consumption of cigarettes is due to feminine demand. The amount' consumed is now twenty times what it was in 1900, an increase, which certainly can not be accounted for by male consumers. If women have won another "right," the question is raised: "What are they going to do with it?" Will the new habit become general or will they, get tired of smoking as soon as laws and custom offer no further opposi- (tion? Some skeptics believe that femin- ine consumption of cigarettes has reached its peak volume and will de-, crease. No doubt it was stimulated; to some extent by moral and legal prihibition. The late Amy Lowell, for instance, is remembered for smok- ing cigars, not because she liked, them, but .because she confessedlT made herself a martyr to the "prin- ciple" of feminine "emancipation." If there are any more such heroines,, they will probably drop their self-sac- rificing practice in the enjoyment of the new freedom. Is it irrational for women to fight for a privilege which t1~ey do not ex- pect to use once it is granted? If so, it must be admitted that men are not displaying any higher rationality. The Volstead Act, it is asserted, has evoked an untimately thirst in many people who never used to drink before drinking was prohibited, and the great American pilgrimage across the Can- adian border seems to bear out this assertion. We may also consider what men did with the right to vote. They fought and died for it, and now that they have it, democracy is lucky if fifty per cent of the voters take the trouble of exercising their greatest right. Whatever the women may choose to do with the weed, mere man is hardly in a postion to set himself up as moral censor. LIGHTING THE TORCHES OF REASON (The Detroit News) "Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and a boy on the other consti- tuted'a University," is an old saying in educational circles and it contains the ideal toward which the greatest ed- ucators of today are trying to work back. Mark Hopkins was president of Williams college from 1836 to 1872, becoming president when he was 34. Dr. Clarence Cook Little, president of the University of Maine and soon to become president of the Univer- sity of Michigan, who is 36 years old, has voiced the same ideal. Practic- ally, in these days of huge student memberships,( it means to bring the student under the personal leadership and ihspiration of at least one well worth while faculty man, a man of broad understanding; of a comprehen- sive philosophy of knowledge as relat-' ed to life. The holder of such an ideal is not content to pack young minds with facts and theories, stacked like so much cordwood, each stick touching. ,but not relating to the next. Rather he seeks to kindle the factsa and theories, so that they may all be' joined in the fire of thought and seas. o'ning ability to illumine life, and to build the fire so skilfully that it will burn until death, casting forth spar.ks' that will in- turn set the torches f thought burning in others. If the State University is to fulfil- its highest functions, it must not be satisfied with quantity production of graduates, like a factory turning out inanimate things, but must give qual- ity standards of originality and con- structiveness. Dr. Little has said his hope and plan are to do this. "Excursion Will Leave Tomorrow for Detroit Tour."-0. 0. D. An ex- cursion left last night for Ypsi, but we didn't see any notice of it.

He wasn't in Detroit at all. He was up north somewherb, and Sunday night he returned to the bosom of Ann Ar- bor, more or less figuratively speak- ing, and was welcomed more or less. He told his sad story, but was too weak to write it, so we are doing it for him. As we said, he had been up North somewhere. That being over with, he drove back in a Ford (Adv or not, as you see fit) of uncertain age and an enormity of speed. The road they were driving on became gravelly and soft, and as they sped along, the arms of the driver became wretchedly tired, but would he relinquish the wheel? Alt no, for he was of stern- er stuff-the Peat Bog must be brought from Ahen to Aix or vice versa, which ever it was. With this determined thought in his mind, he drove. Finally his grip weakened vis- ibly. They were speeding down a hill, the gravel wrenched at the wheels, and the wee bit Lizzykins (a Scotch abbrevation of endearment) took to the air and flew like a boidy. Peat Bog, with rare presence of mind, grasped the thing which came closest to hand as he spun through the air. Fortunately tis turned out to be the spare tire of a passing motor veicle. Feeling at home, Peat Bog settled down to happy dreams of the old days when he used to ride the rails with kindred wandering Willies, and when he awoke, he was here. Ah, us. * * * Washington was here over the week end. Now normally we like this gent, and he's a good guy in his way, ,but there are times when he really gets us sore. F'rinstance. Saturday morning at 7:30 o'clock just as we were en- joying our much needed beauty sleep, in barges Wash and says: "How's for doing horseback riding hey?" "Go to Hell," says we in our most cordial tone. "Aw, come on," says he, and we went, never having been able to re- sist pleading (Port Huron papers please copy.) After we had had breakfast and barged about a bit, we fetched up at the stables and hollered for horses. "Can you ride?" asks the person. "We have set a horse or two," says we modestly trying to hide the fact that we are probably the ridinest fool this side of Chicago and points West. "Well, on your own hed be it," says the person, and drags out a couple of horses. "You take the one with the fat sad- dle," says we to Wash, careless like. "We never did like anything but western." So he did, and we set out. Just as we reached the end of the drive, Wash's nag lets out a whinny and starts for Timbuctoo as a pace cal- culated to get him there in 32 1-2 minutes inclusive. "Wheeeee" says our hourse, and does likewise. "Con- trol yourself," says we sternly, haul-f ing in on the reins. That didn't make any difference, either. We neared a corner at which we had last seen Wash turning to the left. Being used to western horses, we laidj the reins across the right side of our horse's neck. He went to the right, and so did we, by the grace of God. We realized that this hoss din't know such stuff, so we hauled him hard aport and bore off down the street. Our horse broke into a trot, and we decided that our sitrrups were too long. "Whoa, you three ply hard boiled star-spangled jackass," says we, in imitation of Peter B. Kyne. When he whaed, we shortened the stirrups and cast about us for Wash. He was nowhere to be seen, but our gallant steed must have heard him, for he took out in an unxpected direction all, at once. We didn't like that, because pavement is not the best form of traction mate- rial for a shod horse. We pulled him up gently but firmly, and he looked around at us with an expression which indicated: "Who's running this show, hey?" "We are," says we emphatically, BUY A TAG TOMORROW CCHIGAN DAILY and headed back to the stables. There we found Wash, looking tired and worn. "Where's your nag?" says we. "Go to Hell," says he. "Oh," says we un- derstandingly. Then we limped home together. G'wan to classes, the/e ain't no last line. Tamam.
