[TLE LESSON IN FAIR PLAY FOR OLD
POLITICIANS
A committee of students representing the various fraternal
and non-fraternal organizations of the University met this week
and resolved to do away with nil politics in their elections. Here
after men will lie elected to offices solely on their merits. No utjp
derhhndcd methods will be tolerated, And the remarkable thing
about a bunch of students,.when they say they will do a thing,
they do it.
How much better it would be for ali of us if our city and
state'officials were elected by tre same methods. The day may
come when a man will be elected to office on his merits.' Our
hppe lies in the ballots of the women. The uplifting influence of
iwipthin in politics is one of the things that reconcile an old anti
dike ourselves to woman’s suffrage.

THE SUPREME COURT DEMOCRATS AND
§ republicans •
, “The confirmation of Justice Sanford,” remarks the Philadel
phia Public Ledger, “will restore the party balance in the Su
preme Court, six Republicans and three Democrats, where it stood
'when President Harding came to the White House.”
j Excellent. And wc might add just. Or in the picturesque
language of the late, lamented Teddy, “Bully.”
‘ There is much to be thankful for in this announcement, in
Aba-first place wc are profoundly gratified that our illustrious
Jgntemporary, j n this day of “issues” and fads and general loose
abfnking, is recalling us to sanity, to the fundamentals. Of course,
I a basic proposition, one Democrat is the equal of two Rcpub-
ans, but wc were beginning to lose sight of this great truth.
In fact it had boon lost sight of “when President. Harding
iff to the White House” for at that time there were four Dem-
imts (White, McReynoIds, Clarke and Brandies) and five Rc-
bblicans on the court.
In the second place, wc arc glad to have as a Chief Executive
’man who not only rccognzies this fundamental, elementary
rinciplo, but who is fair enough and brave enough to act upon it.
Hail Harding! Et tu Public Ledger!
THE BOY SCOUT TROOP VS. “THE GANG”
The Boy Scout Movement recognizes the inherent “gang" in- •
net in the boy, but turns it into wholesome channels.through:,
feoutir.g’s red-blooded play, and to conitructivc ends through a ”
gscinating program of activities. i j
The Scout Movement supplies wholesome fun for the boy in i
leisure time. It converts bullying into true leadership, boast-
into modesty and, accomplishment, bragadoccio into deference
|r elder, people, vandalism into respect for property, selifshness
I .indifference into thoughtfulness for others fnd voluntary
vice, roughness into kindness for the poor, tho weak, the
dy.
“We claim there arc no.bad boys,” says Chief Scout Execu-
James E. West, “though there arc misdirected, undirected'
i boys. Scouting directs and keeps the boy so busy with wholc-
no activity that he has no timo for wrong-doing.”
Scout Movement is recognized a* enc of the most powerful
^terrenta of juvenile delinquency, and receives the endoriment
the judges, teachers, clergymen, parents, members of organ-
ations for civil and social improvement.
Scouting supplements the program of the home, the ichool,
the church.

TWO WAYS OF

(By BERTON BRALEY)
"We live on earth a little sPacc,
Ami then we find our resting place.
"Our life Is but a little span.
And death tho destiny of man.
"Wc arc but figures In a crowd,
Each -one of whom will fil.d

"One uhlng lo sure, one thins is
clear.
We'll lie at last upon a bier.
"If wo be sad or we bo merry.
Our paths lead but to the cemetery.
"No matter how we may behave,
The one thing ctrtajn is the grave.*
All right, all right! But why the
gioojn?
It s true we end up in a tomb.
Like all the folks who've gone be
fore.
For fifteen million years or more.
Yet they got lots- of labor done.
And had, all told, u let of fun.
We can't remember whence we

That’s true enough, but just tho

And why not make the best pf It?
