Makers Ball." providing there was a
Methodist, or an M. w. A., or a har-
ness maker in the team? Whenever a
function is given under certain name
it is naturally supposed that the organ
ization named is pushing the affair.
This is simply sailing under false col
ors, getting money under false pre-
lenses, or, in this case, using an insti-
tuition that is held as respectable to
get patronage that would in all proba-
bility not be gained otherwise. We
ask in all fairness and reason, is it
right7 Is it treating the schools fairly,
and is it for the best interests of moral
ity and good citizenship? We regret
very much that this has happened and
we hope that the schools will not be
dragged into such an affair in this man
ner again.
