On Land or Sea. /"

1t is becoming so common to write
with or without quotation marks) "the
light that never was on land or sea" that
it seems well to call attention to the fact.
One of the most recent examples OF the
risky haphazard reference is in Professor
Saintsbury's Nineteenth Century Litera-
ture," page 81. Speaking of Byron, Mr..
Saintsbury says: ''The light is not that
which never was on land or sea; it is that
which is habitually just in front of the
STAGE" This formidable antithesis need
not, meanwhile, be discussed for the
theory 1t embodies, but it may be permits
sibe to draw attention to the Wordsworth
reference.
Professor Saintsbury, it is true, does not
profess to quote, but the allusion no doubt
is to the great line in the "Elegiac
Stanzas Suggested by Picture" Land
or sea- sounds more open, buoyant and
free than "sea or land" but it labors
under the disadvantage of not being
what the poet wrote. This is the quatrain
(it is the fourth in poem OF fifteen such
stanzas):
All! Then. If mine had been the Painters hand,
To express what then saw; and add the CLEAN.
The light that never was. on sea or land,
The conservation, and the Poets dream.
| The punctuation of the famous line
should be noted, as a factor in deepening
| its signifcance.--Notes and Queries.

Young Men Republicans Do Some Old

OAKLAND, CAL, Nov. 20.-There was
Young Mems Republican League last
night, but there was not. There was,
however, good deal OF excitement before
the adjournment.
The trouble arose over the fight for the
presidency. The candidates are J. W.
Stetson and Harry Pulcifer, and each has
q large following, and each side is claim

The meeting was duly called to order

was general surprise at the personnel OF
the attendants, and some of the amateur
political managers decided that something
must be done if Mr.. Pu.cifer were not to
have walkover. His friends had locked
the door, it is said, with the intention Of
keeping out Stetson's supporters.
Stetson's friends, however, were not to
be outdone, so they hunted up Constable

EXTRAVAGANZA
BY STUDENTS
University of California
Boys Take to the
Stage.
They Will Appear in "In 10
kopo' on Thanksgiving
Evening.
A Satirical Burlesque by De Witt II.
Gray on Woman's Rights and
Other Things.

AS fitting finale to the interuniversity
conflict on Thanksgiving day the students
of the University of California have deter
mined to produce a burlesque extrava,
ganza. The show will be given at night
in the Auditorium. On Eddy street, it is
confidently believed before a crowded
house. 1t will be the first attempt of the
Berkeley boys in this direction and conse-
quently they are putting forth their best
efforts to make it a grand success.
The extravaganza is entitled "In
Kokopo"-a purely fanciful name for a
my thical isle whittier some maidens be-
take themselves TO be far away from man
and to run government of their own. 1t
is written by De Witt II. Gray, editor-in-
chief of Josh, the interunive rsity paper.
There are three alleged acts in the piece,
which will be presented by students in
the following cast:
Queen Yoyo, Joe Rosborough; Swatem, !,
Lord OF the Slipper, Fletcher McNutt;
Cinchem, Lord OF the Cinch Walter A. Starr;
Rabbs, Lord of the Leisure Hour, Dudley
Deaue; Gyp the court Jester, William Smith :
Ucie, secretary to the Queen, II. B. Quinan
Leonora, daughter OF the Queen, Henry Briz-
ard; Gertrude, daughter of the Queen, Ned
Blake; Dix, daughter of the Queen, Ben Bake
well; Troubadour, Otto Wedemeyer; the
Legit, Sterling Carr; the castaway comedi-
ans, Alexander Rosborough and George Kop-
pitz Choruses of suffragists, boarding-school
girls, football men, troubadours and come
dians.
The main idea in the burlesque is to
satirize women's rights. There is Gov
eminent by women alone; also a plot.
Queen Yoyo has gathered about her all
the discontented female spirits she can
find and they all take themselves TO the
island OF Kokopo. By way of variety
three men are allowed to accompany the
Queen-Gyp the court jester; Swatem, a
tramp, and Cinchem. While the Govern
ment is enjoying girls seminary state OF
peace ship loaded below the Plimsoll
with college football men is wrecked on
the island. the end comes with the
downfall of Yoyos Government and a
retrogression to conventional forms of So
ciety.
The profits of the entertainment will GO
to the general athletic fund of the State
Uniyerslty.

PROF. KOEBELE'S WORK.
Returns From Honolulu After Dealing
Deathblow to the Japanese
Beetle.

ALAMEDA. CAL, Nov 20.-Professor
Albert Koebele, under whose direction
the State Board of Horticulture four years
ago introduced the Verdalia cardinals
and Rhizobius ventralis into this State
and which have been such a godsend to
California, returned yesterday from Homo
lulu. He left his home, 1925 Regent
street, last April, and has been on the
islands ever since. The Japanese beetle
had been devastating the roses, pinks,
orange trees and grape vines when the
professor discovered that they worked
only at night. He imported a colony OF
toads and bats which feed at night. and
thus stamped the bug almost out of ex-
istence. Then he found beetles high up
in the mountains afflicted with a fungod
disease, and With this disease he innocu-
lated others in The valleys, which is help
ing to rid the country OF them.

Mr.. Powers suddenly discovered that he
had made grievous error. He arose and
informed the chairman that he had not
fulfilled his duty in sending out the neces-
sary notices to members, as required by
the constitution. President Walsh thought
that the point was a good one.
As an additional surprise, an enormous
attendance of members from West Oak
land fiocked into the hall. Nobody knew
or would admit that they were aware OF
the candidate whom they undoubtedly
came to support. It was an enigma, and
President Walsh was unable to solve 1T.

They were two young men, and they were
attending church fair. One OF them said to
the other, with mocking laugh on his lips:
Come, Jack, let's eat some peanuts for Jesus
Christ's sake" Some of the Christians who
heard them were fearfully shocked, while
others laughed uneasily at the coarse and
blasphemous witticism. Yet shocking as it
was the remark was exceedingly suggestive,
The church was selling peanuts for Jesus
Christs sake. II not so, then why was the
house of prayer made place of merchandise,
d,why were the irreligious asked TO come
u A. they might help good cause? Over that
rHsuut-stand was written in letters which all
might read who had understanding: "This
church stands for the gospel of Christ. The
members of it are not willing to give enough
money to support it. We ehave bought peanuts
at low figure and expect TO sell at good
figure to people who care nothing about re-
ligion, in order to get the money which we
.caanoI get after the apostolic way. Come and
help us out by patronizing our booths. Buy
some peanuts for Jesus sake" Some of the
members didn't see the writing, but the young
men did and acted upon il. They simply
translated into the language of the street
what the members of the church expressed in
m uch more polite and Intentionally am big
uous way. They repeated the catechism which
the church taught them only they put the
meaning OF their teachers into words of their
own. And the church got their nickels and
lost their respect. They paid literally for
their peanuts, but they threw in with the
price their contempt and scorn for a religion
which needed that kind of support.
The above quotation from the last num-
ber of the Pacific Baptist has created gen.
eral excitement among those interested
in church affairs and it Is not at all I'M
likely that it viii be acted upon and made
the subject of some resolutions at the next
meeting of ministers.
Rev. c. A. Wooddy of Portland is the
editor of the magazine and Rev. Robert
Whitaker of East Oakland is the associ-
. ate editor, and these are the two gentle
men who are jointly responsible for hav-
ing stirred up much conflict of opinion
among the leading members OF the de-
nomination. At present no one cares to
express a definite opinion prematurely,
but all agree that it looks as if the organ
OF the Baptist denomination intended to

and lotteries.
The editors proceed to say that they are
thoroughly persuaded that the churches

South Berkeley is being agitated. AT the

the place was called Alcatraz, after its

The Postotfice authorities selected the

might not be confounded with the Alca-
