Literary lnsurection at University Causes
Demand for French Novels

BERKELEY. March 2s-French
novels were at a premium in the IL
brary of the University Of California
today as result of the insurrection on
the part OF coed students in Prof. S. A.
Chambers class in French literature
against the type of supplementary
reading which the instructor advised.
There seems to be no lack of desire on
the part of the students at large to
indulge in the delights of Gallic ro-
nance. even though the romance
might be dubious and the characters
questionable.

asserted, critically. especially in

Prof. Chambers denied that there has
been a general protest on the part of
students against the raciness of the
reading which he had recommended to
his students.

The options in French literature
have been well covered by earnest dis
ciples Of narrative. and the university
library has a long waiting list for
future delivery It is expected that
large classes will study French litera-

LIQUOR QUESTION
IS TnRASHED OUT
Mayor Rose and President
Dickie Meet in Debate on
Prohibition
Milwaukee Executive Favors
Sane Regulation of
Saloon

MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 26.-
Should the nation be dry or have
numerous saloons regulated in sane
manner?
This question was thrashed out here
tonight in remarkable debate between
Mayor David S Rose of Milwaukee and
DR.. Samuel DiclSie. president of Albion
college. Albion. Mich. on the question.
Resolved, that prohibition as applied
to the Manufacture and sale OF intoxi-
eating beverages is right
Dickie defended the affirmative. and
Mayor Rose the negative.
There was no decision and the ques-
tion as TO who had proved his case was
left to the audience.
FOR LABOR AND CAPITAL
DR.. Dickie declared prohibition was
right. even if viewed only from an
economic standpoint "The saloon" he
declared. lis the foe Of capital. but pre-
eminently the enemy of labor It
paralyzes the arm of the workingman,
shortens his life, excludes him from
many lucrative callings, decreases his
power as producer and throws into
the labor market a vast mass of de-
based and unintelligelJ laborers. who
compete disastrously with the sober
and Industrious workmen.
Mayor Rose treated the subject from
biblical, ethical and material stand
points. He declared that when the ten
commandments were written no at
tempt was made TO inject prohibition,
and he challenged any one to find one
word in the bible advocating pro-

PROHIBITION INCREASES CRIME

Treating the subject from the ethical
side, he quoted the census and records
of cities and states to prove that pro-
hibition increased crime, insanity,
deaths, domestic infelicity. pauperism
and stagnated business. He took the
criminal records of Milwaukee, wide
open town. and said the arrests per cap
ita were less than in the prohibition
states of Maine. Kansas and Georgia
He said there were more divorces in
Kansas and Maine than in Wisconsin,

also had more paupers.

There is some speculation as tx
how Governor Kitchin will ac1
toward the great corporations
that he said opposed his election
for what was in him? To say
nothing Of either would be a good
plan to some minds. To assai
either or both would be to justify
all that his enemies charged he
would do. So it is a case of wait
and see. The best opinion is that
w. w. Kitchin's pride will make
him the very best Governor he
can be, and no one doubts that
he has the good sense to be such.
OUR NEW GOVERNOR.
Today at noon Honorable Will
liam Walton Kitchin of Halifax
took the oath of Office of Cover
nor Of the great State of North
Carolina, relieving Governor
Glenn of four years Of hard, and
particularly hard work. Mr..
Kitchin needs no introduction to
the citizens Of this land, as he
has gone from one end to the
other, and won his present place
against great odds, and those
who were his partisians are hop
ing that he will make even a bet
ter Governor than they thought
he would.
Glenn travelled and did things
the people seemed to like. Mr..
Kitchin has not laid down his
policy as to that, except to be
the best he knows how, and be
the Governor Of all. His coming
was a great event in the capitol,
such always is. and the COM
mittee of the city with those of
the House and Senate worked in
harmony for a great social occas-
ion, there being a reception at
night as well as an Inauguration
ball tonight, at which the best
Of Raleigh's social side was pres
ent, all wishing the new Cover
nor success.
KILLS SALARY INCREASE.
Monday at the morning ses-
sion, John B. Underwood of
Cumberland county, called up
the bill to increase the Governors
salary from $4,000 to $1,000.
which the house committee had
in hand, and asked that it be
taken from the committee, and
put before the house on its pas
sage, and OF all for a division,
standing and being counted, the
was lost by the vote Of
Sc to 36, which means that this
bill cannot be passed so as to APP
ply to the incoming Governor, if
it passes at all. The opinion
among the majority seems to be
that four thousand, with three
for mansion expenses
is plenty for any modest man.
