It is pitiable, in a way, that this must be the last number, because there are still so many things remaining to be reform- ed and criticised, but the summer ses- sion ends in less than a week and it would be rather inadvisable to con- tinue publication after the close of school. The Daily has no apologies to make at the close of this Summer session, and it will make none. It has con- scientiously attempted to cover the news events of the campus duriing the season closed, and in its own opinion, at least, it has succeeded to some small degree. It has received generous support from the students of the University in subscriptions and from the local advertisers, and for both of these facts it is very grate- ful. man's constituents, for he knows as well as anyone that when a navy has coaling stations as far apart as the United States' navy it needs ships that will travel from one to the other. « Mr. Bridgeman, of course, is doubt- less a rank hypocrite when he says he couldn't understand this, but such drivel "gets by" with the public, and the English probably think that he is a great man. He himself did all in his power to assure the success of the conference, even giving two briar pipes to the leading American dele- gates as he says. That places the blame for the failure squarely on America. Perhaps another conference to set- tle the question of blame for the fail- ure of the last one would be a wise idea, and in keeping with the childish antics of the so-called statesmen. Neither nation is to blame, of course, for politicians are always right, but still the conference did fail, in spite of the briar pipes. THE One of about the has been SUMMER LECTURES the most fortunate things Summer session just closed the excellent series of Editorially it has which at times were and it appreciates taken stands rather shocking the fact that I never once has it been intimidated or threatened by the Board in Control of Student Publication. It has conscien- tiously endeavored to be right, andl feeling justified, has been fearless and sometimes bitter in its condemnation. If anyone has been injured in his feelings, particularly any local person, Th'e Daily feels very contrite; but The Daily still feels that it was right- at least in its own conscience, and therefore will not apologize. A word of praise is also due, per- haps, to the business department of the publication, which, though com- posed of only four men during the entire summer, excluding carriers, functioned rather efficiently, and at times it is reported that a majority of our subscribers received their pap- ers on the same morning they were published. (This is only a rumor.) Nevertheless the' business manager has a difficult task,.which he has per- formed well, and since he will never have access to these columns, and would certainly find it impossible to intimidate them if he did gain access, it is only fitting that the editorial department recognize that rather im- portant functionary which pays its salary, the Business Manager. The Daily should also thank the Summer session students, who though largely without newspaper experience before the beginning of the session, performed assiduously and ably on the staff this summer. To them is due, in no small measure, any praise which. the publication may deserve, for they have performed the routine tasks of. reporting and news gathering. Their names are too numerous to list in- dividually, but collectively The Daily, extends to them its highest praise., That is about all there is to say., The summer has no doubt been suc- summer lectures which have been furnished free of charge under the auspices of the University. Some of the leading men in the country in their respective fields have partici- pated in these programs, and in addi- tion to the professors from our own University,, eight men from other institutions have appeared on the Sprograms. One thing that is regrettable about the whole series, however, is the fact that the student patronage and at- tendance has been comparatively small. It is true, to be sure, that the audiences have been larger on the average than for any other summer series which has ever been presented, but the bulk of the listeners were townspeople rather than students. It is rather an insult to the suppos- edly superior intelligence of the col- lege world to find that when given an even opportunity for attendance at highly educational offerings it is outnumbered so decisively by persons who can have nothing except a very sincere interest in the learning about them. Still, the lectures have been highly successful, and those who have attended have gained a great deal. It has been a remarkably fine series, bet- ter than that of the winter by far, and the University appreciates highly the efforts of the eminent men who have contributed so ably to its success. THE BUN The Republican party has now ap- peared with a pamphlet crediting it- self with the entire reduction in the national debt, and extolling its econ- omy plan. Republicans are good poli- ticians, but they should be honest, and explain that during the period of pros- perity just closing they couldn't very well help the national surplus, in spite of the tax reductions they have given to the firms of Mr. Mellon and the high income tax papers. The American public may be gull- ible but the Republicans have even exceeded moderate limits with this newest affront. NO DIVORCE THIS TIME Constance Talmadge, revered by the American public as a popular movie star, has announced that she will seek no divorce during her present trip to Paris. She adds, of course, that in the near future she will certainly in- stitute divorce proceedings against her husband, Captain MacIntosh, as she simply can't stand it to live with him, but that perhaps she will wait several weeks before undertaking such steps. Of course the American public which respects the peroxide actress so highly will see nothing wrong in this, for movie actors and actresses are supposed to be re-married each year or two, but to the more conserva- tive temperament of the self respect- ing part of that public there may seem to be somthing that is not en- tir'ely right in the proceedings after all. To be sure this Talmadge woman has been married to the same man William Thompson of Chicago, can- didate for president. * * * ANN ARBOR, Mich, Aug. 13.-Ben- jamin Jurnell, father of the Rools third party, turned down the nomina- tion for vice president here today after being chosen by a unanimous choice on the first ballot. "I do not choose to run in 1928" he said. ANN ARBOR, Mich-still August.- With the dithdrawal of Purnell, the With the withdrawal of Purnell, the balloting for vice president became candidates were nominated. Their votes on the second ballot were as followes: Barber Bim 600, Prudence Prim 590, Calvin Cooldige 25, Gover- nor Fuller 0, Judge Thayer 30, New York Stock Exchange 100. (Due to an error the first figure has been record- ed as the vote of a candidate; it is not, being the capacitl of the conven- tion hall.) ANN ARBOR, also.-Pandemonium broke loose in the Rolls Third Party convention here this afternoon when it was discovered at the close of the 32nd ballot that Prudence Phim, lead- ing candidate, was dead. The official dispatch from the official spokesman of Prudence at the Summer White House follows: "Regret to inform you that Prudence Phim, White House collie, has been dead for three weeks. Appreciate very highly the compli- ment you have paid to the official family by ojering to nominate her. Signed, Cal, Prudence spokesman." * * * ANN ARBOR again.-Clarence Dar- row lead all candidates for, the Rolls Third Party vice-presidentail nomina- tion at the close of the 33rd ballot. Darrow is a dark horse and has been trailing doggedly since the early bal- lots. ANN ARBOR still.-Darrow's lead is wiped out on 34th ballot as Presi- dent Shumaker of the Indiana anti- saloon league, recently released from jail, appears amid tumulauous ap- plause.. Shumaker lacks a majority by one vote. ANN ARBO, getting later.-Shu- maker eliminated from race as Sena- tor Jim Reed discloses slush fund. Reed committee proves that Shumaker bought votes by promiscuous distri- bution of Hershey bars. Shumaker bolts the convention. Delegates are in a frenzy of excitement as balloting enters 36th round. * * * ANN ARBOR, yet.-On the 36th bal- lot Honest Bill Thompson received the nomination for vice-president on Rolls -National Party ticket but was forced to decline because he had al- ready been nominated for the presi- dency. He said that some one from other parts of the country should be nominated to give the ticket balance. On the 37th ballot six men were nominated but all found that they could not accept the position since all six of them could not run and one vice-president is all the party can use. After this ballot the meting adjourn- ed for lunch and wire-pulling. ANN ARBOR.-At several secret meeting at the Whitney hotel it seemed that the politicians were find- ing a way out of the difficulty of find- ing a vice-presidential candidate. Re- ports circulating about the town were that Vare of Pennsylvania would be given the job. Reasons stated were that he was one man who knew how to get votes, even if they were Still in ANN ARBOR.-On the 38th not cast for the party. ballot Vare was being pushed hard,, he came within a few votes of get- ting the nomination. On the 39th ballot Vare was nominated as run- ning mate for Hoest Bill Thompson, presidential nominee - of Rolls Na- tional Party. Big Honest Bill announced late to- day that the party slogan would say something about honesty in politics, nothing else would be tolerated. He also announced that George E.
