BETA PHI
Hold Annau Initiation Banquet at the
Chapter Hall.

The young ladies Of Beta Phi held their
annual initiation banquet at their chap
ter hall, last evening. The weather was
unfavorabe for festivities, but all of the
undergraduate members and many of the
alumnae were present and a most en-
joyable evening was spent. The holding
of the banquet in the chapter hall is a
novel feature, but one which proved en-
incntly satisfactory and will undoubtedly
be repeated. As the banquet was held in
the hall instead of in hotel, it became
necessary to get q caterer to serve and
j. Fields Murray who knows 50 well how
to prepare fine repasts, was selected.

A Look at the Los
 Of Our Ship of State
#

The amazing thing is the figure we have cut in world politics. Few and far between are the nations that have not felt, the pressure of American di- plomacy backed by American guns and by American money. There was bank rupt Venezuela blockaded by three great European creditors. A word from Washington and Minister Bowen was able to get the whole matter ad- dusted by arbitration. The Russian bear barred the Manchurian gateway to China until an American diplomat led the way to an open door. Our voice of protest against persecution of Jews dn Russia was heard. The prestige of the United States in the Mediterranean was enhanced by the presence of ships at Beirut and the sending of Skinner to Abyssinia; England came closer to US in the Alaskan boundary concession through arbitration. Finally in fulfill ment of great responsibility, however opinions differ as to the method. the Roosevelt administration paved the way for the istllmian canal project by extending the helping hand to the new republic of Panama after Colombia had let the Hay -Herran treaty, which was signed at Washington in February, die

foIJaUshi, was tah. Lord Alverstone. en when Lord Alverstone, Oct. 20, cast the deciding vote favorably to the American boundary claim in Alaska and swept away with stroke of his pen that ever threatening casus beli. England is believed to have dis appointed Japan by neutral attitude toward Russian aggression in China, while India's year, started with the splendors of the durbar, ends in new military movement against the hermit realm of Tibet, also coveted by Rus sia. Australia granted full Wom- an suffrage, restrained government rail- road strike. and rejected the arbitration bill. Canada had an era of indus trial growth; was bitter over Alaskan award. ' a s South Africa placed under 10 per cent reciprocity. First Trans vaal parliament opened in May.

 RUSSIA in all her vastness and pow CT has pressed remorselessly toward her goal in the far east while checking with an iron hand the internal revolu- tionary propaganda of socialism and organized labor Disregarding all prom ises by the failure to evacuate Man churia, the government of Czar Nicho- las stood dishonored in the pillory of world opinion Great hopes were raised by the czar's manifesto of re- ligious freedom and liberty for peas ants March 12, but the massacre of Jews at Kishinef in May and their persecution in other places with official connivance went far to discredit that great proclamation. The continued and increased restriction of liberty in Fin land did not improve this impression. THE ORIENT, take it all in all, has had the front and center of the inter national stage most of the year. From the newspaper mans standpoint it would make a rather funny, zigzag record suggestive of the famous gen. eral who marched his army up the hill and marched it down again-Manchu- ria in this case substituted for the hill. But the Russians never budged. They rushed more troops thither, and on va rious flimsy pretexts frightened their grip by reoccupying Mukden and Hai- cheng and by soaring Japan into fever ish war preparations by land and sea mobilization near Korea. War was ex- pected almost daily for months. !" : 1" The one bright spot in the oriental year was the success of American and Brit ish diplomats in getting treaties with China actually signed for the opening of certain Manchurian ports to world trade. These would have to be recog- nized by Russia in event of her con quest of Manchuria. : x Y Japan and China have come closer in view of their

Labor's effort to rule the government printing office resulted in the presidents "open shop'' declaration in the Miller case.

The New Factors In the Social Equation

Society as a whole. and especially our own country of boasted liberty within law, has been confronted with an appalling disregard of law and legal process, amounting to an epidem-. ic of crime. This is condition which confronts thoughtful and law respect ing people, however theories may diff fer as to it's cause. And it needs no de- tailed list or statistical compilation to prove that it has been intensified in the, twelvemonth past. 1t stares us in every one of the POO or more negro lynchings plus the unspeakabIe. crimes that inspire that extra legal, un-Chrf1- han and ineffective remedy. More than in any former year the north has such: Instances to answer for without the apology of an outnumbering negro mass, which the south has to- deal with. This phase of the epidemic has, of course. it's practical political bear ings, growing out of opposition in the south to federal appointments of ne groes. Unquestionably the number and brutality of murders, the suicides, the robberies, the arsons, the forgeries, the briberies. and especially tfle crimes of the, very young. like Chicago's boy bandits, have exceeded all former rec Urds. Sociologists are trying with new zeal to find and remove the cause of this decay, and many are tracing 1t to the accumulation of vast fortunes and the extravagance and unequal distri- button of opportunities *s The al legged tendency of modern society to avoid the responsibility of rearing chil-. dren came in for widespread condemna- ton through President Roosevelt's let ter in commendation Of Mrs. Van yorsfs s'.Woman Who Tolls" His char acterization of this tendency as race suicide was echoed by the many, though denounced by some who regard quality of offspring as more important than quantity. . : The increased number of divorces, including many in so call ed high society, has stimulated afresh concerted movement of pulpit and press for more uniform restriction of the marriage relation, though a strenu-
 ous minority sees health in utmost lib- erty. ' ' The beginning of the or ganization of domestic servants has added to the perplexity of the servant problem, which has been solved by the
 cooperative family club.
