WHIPPLE ' ADMINISTRATIVE PROGRESS With the announcement of the pow- s and duties of Registrar Ira M. ruth, who was recently appointed that post, the registrar's office kes on added significance in Univer- ;y circles, and stands in a position here it can do a great deal toward ving the outsider a better impress- a of the solidity of the internal or- nization of this institution. Registrar Smith will have charge of 1 correspondence of prospective stu- nts, regardless of the school or col- ge which they expect to enter, and e admission of all students enter- the University directly from high 'ool will. be entirely within his nds. . And the new registrar will et in an advisory capacity with the rious record offices about the cam- s for the purpose of bringing about tter organization and the efficient udling of statistical information." With the addition of these new pow- 9and duties, Mr. Smith has a new, d potentially powerful, office to id up. We welcome him to the iversity, and hope that he will be le to build his new position to meet e standard set by a special com- ttee on the reorganization of the ristrar's office, A PROMISE FULFILIED With the .purchase of Weinberg's iseum, the Athletic association has :en a 'definite step forward in its, gram of further.developing minor >rts and of creating greater facil- is for carrying out of the "Athletics All" prwgram. ['he lack of actual facilities for the elopment of Mainor sports has long in one of the principal objections Director Yost's program of athletic pansion, but now that he has shown belief in and support of one of most important of the minor arts, hockey, by the purchase of what is hoped will become the first unit a minor sports building, the fears those people who objected to the r-emphasis that has in late years n placed on football have been feted.

Heretofore there has been practic- y no provision made for outdoor rcise of the entire student body in winter, the Coliseum having been for skating only a few days of the r.

Then they caused the ar- rest of more than 100 persons they said were liquor law violators. Concerning violators of other laws1 who have been trapped in similar' manner, the Federal and Michigan courts have passed judgment. In Un- ited States versus Echols, Federal Reports, Vol. 253, page 662 the court ruled: '' "A defendant cannot be convicted1 of a' crime which he was incited and induced to commit by a Government officer for his entrapment." ' In Petersburg versus United States, Federal Reports, Vol 255, page 433, the court ruled: "Where officers of the law have in- cited a person to commit the crime charged, and lured him on with the purpose of arresting him in its com- mission, the law will not authorize a verdi of guilty." In People versus Everts, 112 Mich- igan, page 195, the court ruled: "Under our lays, a person who in- duces another to'ommit a,crime with knowledge that the same is about to be committed under such inducements as' are held out by the person induc- ing the same if the ame would not have been committed except at the in- stignation and approval of such per- son, then the jury should look upon the person who admits that he caused the offense to be committed with dis- favor." Those judical' rulings coincide with the natural feeling of men who real- ize th weakness of human nature at its best. THE SHRINKING NEWSPAPER BOLL (The Christian Science Monitor) Perhaps the most interesting fea- ture of the absorption of the Philadel- phia North American - famous Bull "Moose champion when that animal roamed the jungle-by the Public ILedger is the announcement of Cyrus Curtis, publisher of the latter paper, that he intends to launch a daily pic- ture tabloid upon the placid, if not stagnant, waters of Philadelphia jour- nalism. ir. Curtis seems to have learned a lesson from the consolidating endeav- ors of ,Mr. Munsey. Of the two, the New Yorker is, thus far, the more active toiler in the journalistic abatoir. Up to the .present time, he has put n "end to the Press, Daily News (the or- iginal New York paper of that name), Globe, ,Mail, Herald and Morning Sun. Mr. Curtis has only the Philadelphia Times, Press, Evening Telegram and North American to his credit-if cred- it it be. A shrewd observer of the New York newspaper field has pointed out that one effect of the Munsey consolida- tions has been precisely the opposite of what their author anticipated. Mr. Munsey predicted as a result of his endeavors the great strengthening of the better type of newspapers and the general elevation of the standard of journalism. What has resulted has been the multiplication ofthe least dignified type of inewspapers-the tab- loid pictorials-and the enormous in crease in their cjrculation. Little more than ten per cent of the circulations of the paners he put out of business has been added to that of their pre- sumptive beneficiaries, but the three tabloids lave taken the rest, and more too. Mr. Curtis, with characteristic shrewdness,recognizesthis fact, 'and announces that, with the disappear- ance of the North American, he will produce a tabloid pictorial of his own. It is a curious fact that the. steady reduction in the number of newspa- pares worthy of the the name is going on simultaneously with the multipli- cation of schools of journalism. Train- ing young men and women in increas- ing numbers to follow a profession in which opportunities are growing more and more limited seems poor econ- omics. Perhaps that is the reason why one director of -such a school complained that most of his students were fitting themselves not for jour- nalism but to become publicity ex- perts. TARIFF C1MISSION APPOINTEES; (The Detroit Frye Press)_ President Coolidge has nominated for 'a vacancy on the United States tariff commission a man who holds much the same opinions as himself on the tariff. And why not? What is to be expected of any" President other than that in selecting advisers he THE SUMMER MI should want men in sympathy with his own views? The tariff commission, it must be remembered, is merely an advisory body. It has no power to do any- thing but find facts and report{ them to the President for his guidance in executing the laws. It assists him in ascertaining differences in costs of production in this country and for- eign lands when the elastic tariff provisions are invoked. And when unfair methods of competition and un- fair acts in importation of articles into the United States are formally alleg- ed to the President, this same com- mission is charged with investigating' the facts at his instance and with reporting to him its findings. It happens tha the law by which the commission' was created provides that not more than half of its mem- bers shall belong to the same political party and since we have only two par- ties in American politics at present it was obviously the intention of con- gress that half the tariff commission should be Republicans and half Dem- ocrats. What could have been expect- ed from such an arrangement but that reports to the President about invest- igations would be divided and that one set of reports would advise precisely the opposite course from that advised by the other set? If the plain intent of the law is obeyed in the selection of the board members no other result jis possiblle, for men in politics always 1 see facts on their side of partisan questions. If any one has any doubt on that point he need only observe the result of investigtions by the con- gress which created the tariff commis- sion, whose committees invaribaly Toko, July 16. - There was no change today in the condition of Ed- gar A.

Smith, Underwood, mimn kgyag,- Coroni Si thePoartbi FOR 9ALE AND RENT CoiioriA cause for conflicting majority and minority reports on any matter re- ferred to them.s However, at the end of it all it per- haps makes very little practical dif- ference what kind of views are repre- sented by the tariff commission because when it has gone through the busi- ness of holding hearings and drawing up reports on both sides of its sub- jects the President can toss them aside if he wishes. The law says that after he gets the reports the President shall modify orterminate the ratesdof duty to equalie costs of production "when he determines that it is shown that the differences in costs of produc- tion have changed or no longer exist," and similar language accompanies the provisions about inquiries into unfair acts in importation. The ultimate re- sponsibility is imposed on the Presi- dent, and it was plainly tke intent of congress that he should .make the' alterations in its tariff laws under the powers it was delegating. It has always been .a question whether the tariff commission is of any value in bur form of government. When the Republicans set one up in the Taft term the Democrats -prompt- ly stifled it at the first opportunity by refusing to appropriate money for its operation. The same Democrats, 'largely as a political gesture, subse- quently created another commission of the same kind, but Mr. Wilson, who was President at the time, found a way of getting agreeable reports out of it by 'naming three Democrats, two Bull Moose, and one free trade Repub- lican as its .members. Mr. Colidge cannot very well pack the commission that way now,- as we have only two parties, but he is going as. far as he can in the same direction. Some senators and representatives, finding that the commission will no longer have a majority of their own views, are saying that it should be abolished next winter, and per- haps that fate may again attend it. The country will no doubt survive if it does. Somehow the commission idea that 12 or 15 years ago seemed to promise an early advent of the mil- lennium is not yielding very good re- sults of late in practice and except possibly for the interstate commerce commission, which is pretty much a court anyhow, the United States could worry along without them all. With monkeys, hanging reprieves, and prohibition, we wonder what the use is in supporting a first rate law school. The University has just purchased the skating pavilion. Think of that and try to cool off. Ringside seats in Dayton must be awfully hot.
