Advices from Washington indi-
cate that the Government is more
determined than ever to take steps
Tor the suppression of anarchy.
Whether a general plan of opera
ton will be undertaken in this coun-
try and cooperation agreements
made with foreign governments has
not been settled, but it is evident
mat measures will be considered
soon to extend the scope of recent
action. The assassination of Father
Leo, in Denver, and the attempt or
the life of Chief-of-Police Shippey
Of Chicago, by anarchists, were fol
lowed by instructions to federal i'm
migration officers to cooperate will

Forbush on Fraternities.-Asked
as to his opinion of high school fra
ternities, DR.. w. B Forbush re-
piled: my opinion is the same as
that of the editor of the Journal of
Education: The fraternity feature
OF the high school is weak morally,
and Is usually demoralizing physical
ly. 1t minimizes all that should be
magnified in those years, and magni-
fies all that should be minimized.'
And 1 think school boards every
where should have the courage ex-
pressed by the Denver Board of Edu-
cation and by others, when they put
down this un-American institution |
by passing the rule that those who |
remain as members of such fratern-
tiles after next September shall lose
all the athletic and social privileges
of the school, and indeed, shall re-
tain no privileges except those of the
classroom and the diploma"
President Alderman on the Negro. |
I'm an address before the Civic |
Forum in New York President AL i
derman, Of the University of Vir-
ginia, said: ''It has been settled |
that the emphasis laid by Arm |
the most heroic figure in the |
whole struggle, and the wisest lead
er of the Negro race, upon training |
in the industrial and manual arts, |
promises the best returns in the de-
velopment of the masses of that race |
as useful factors in economic life. It |
has been settled that the negro |
having humanity, personality, eco
nomic value, shall be trained for |
in this Republic, and that |
the South itself shall exert intelli-l
gent and determining influence upon |
the character of that training, be-
cause it is it's duty so to act, and
because extraneous influence may
carry the negro farther from under
standing and sympathy with his en-
vironment."

Some of the chief sponsors of
Swink claim that that burg is the
sportiest little town in the state of
Colorado" and they appear to be
quite proud of the distinction. They
are like the man who was desirous
of notoriety-wanted people to talk
about him, say something no mat
ter what, good, bad or different
just so they said something. Well,
it appears that every little bit helps.
and Swink is achieving the notoriety
of which she is so desirous. One
day this week the county clerk re-
a letter addressed Register of
Deeds. Swink. Colo.,"' and there you
are. There is no such county official
in Otero county. but they do have
'em over in Kansas. 1t is very evil
dent that some jayhawker in that
state had heard of Swink, and hav-
ing business to transact with a Colo
RADIO county official thought that by
addressing his letter as he did it
would reach the proper party. Well.
it did, all right. all right. Stick a
pin here. 1t always pays to adver-
tise-to be notorious for something.
In ante-bellum days Lincoln proph-
sided the conditions with which
our strenuous president is now CRAP
pling with an earnest desire only to
establish a square deal all around.
The language is as follows: Wise
statesmen as our forefathers were,
they knew the tendency Of prosperi-
ty to breed tyrants. and they estab-
lished these self-evident truths so
that when, in the distant future.
some man. or some interest, or some
faction. should set up the doctrine
that none but rich men. or none but
white men. or none but Anglo-Saxon
men, were entitled to life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness. their
posterity might again look up the
Declaration Of Independence, take
courage and renew the battle which
their fathers begun. 20 that truth
and justice and mercy, and all the
humane and Christian virtues might
not be sxtinguished from the land.
