Reinstatement of Dismissed

SUBSTITUTES ARE SECURED
Senior Glass Stands by Editorial STAFF
in the Contention Over 1.-THE
Theologue."

A strike Of five walters at the Angus.
tana college dining hall just before
supper last evening threatened for a
while to make the students who eat
there to go hungry. The strike fol-
lowed the dismissal by the dining hall
matron of one Of the walters. The
action was unwarranted, according to
the other walters, and the strike fol-
lowed.
For time it seemed that no supper
would be served at the dining hall, but
the matron finally managed to swear
in some deputy traybearers and the
crisis was passed. The regular walters
assert that they will not return to
work until their associate is reinstated
in service.

The senior class yesterday, in COM
pliance with the ruling of the general
faculty on the Objectionable article ap-
pearing In the senior annual under
the caption, 1.-THE Theologue," began

that the article was written in a spirit

logical department"
The explanation, according to the
seminary faculty, is not satisfactory,
and another meeting of the general
foculty was called yesterday evening
to consider the matter The result
was an order to the senior star to
discontinue inserting the slip. A meet

yesterday afternoon, at which deci-

BY The FRESHlES
Two Party Guests Are Shorn of
Their Shoes in College
Boulevard Struggle.
OTHERS ARE HELD CAPTIVE
Hostesses Wait Until After Midnight
for Waylaid Victdms-Climax
in the Chapel.

Realizing that the school year is
rapidly drawing to a close, and not
being satisfied with it's batting aver
age in the numerous clashes held with
the sophomores this year, the fresh
man class Of Augustana college sudden
ly became aggressive last night and
caught the sophs mapping. After the
fun was all over, the freshies decided
that they had materially improved their
record, and the sophs were sore"
The sophs had party last night;
that is, some of them did. The others
intended to go there, but the freshies
were responsible for their failure to
fill the engagement. The Misses Ag-
mes and Ebba Abrahamson, members
of the sophomore class, living at $500
Seventh avenue, Rock Island, were the
hostesses.
The sophs, evidently, did not suspect
any malignant motives OIL the part of
the freshies at this time of the year,
and did not adopt the usual precautions
Of sneaking through alleys and back
yards to the scene of the party. The
result was that Benjamin Swanson and
A. H. Johnson were Immediately nab
bed by three freshies as soon as they
issued forth from their domicile at 4103
College boulevard. After a brief strug-
gle the sophs were stretched on the
ground, and while freshie sat on each
of them, a third freshie deprived them
of their shoes. They were then return
ed to their rooms.
Herbert Linden, president Of the
sophomore class, and Elmer Swenson
came sauntering along the boulevard
about this time, and the freshies, re-
inforced by additional forces, gave
chase. By some irony of fate. the sophs
took refuge in the same house in which
their unshod classmates had been
driven
Siege Is Commenced.
A general call to arms was immedi-
ately issued by the freshies and soon
the entire freshman class had formed
a blockade around the house in which
the soph president was held prisoner.
The freshies made numerous attempts
to secure entrance into the room

SOME QUESTIONS.


Dear Sir:-Will you kindly an
swer the following questions through
the columns of the weekly Jeffer-
sonian:
Cd Who graduated with first hon
ors at West Point in r. E. Lees
class?
(2) Where does a municipality get
the right to levy a street-tax on
person under twenty-one years of
age? A SUBSCRIBER.
Dublin, Georgia.
Answer
CD A New Yorker, named Charles
Mason, took the First Honor in Gen
eral Lees class, Lee taking Second.
This was in 1929.
When the inquiry came to me, it
was necessary for me to seek the
information. The Georgia poet,
Charles w. Hubner, was the first to
give me the facts Almost immedi-
ately afterwards, Major Jos. B. Cum
ming wrote me to the same effect, he
having received the desired informa-
ton from his brother, General AL
fred Cumming.
Major Cumming was good enough
to enclose with his reply to me the
note of General Cumming. In read
ing this, l see that the General states
that Charles Mason died long ago
CD municipalities don't have to
get any fright" to do anything.
They just go right ahead and do it
rights are not in it, at ALL
Recorders Courts and Town
Councils are not supposed to be tram
melled by any legal limitations what
soever. Andrew Jackson's overcoat
wouldn't be big enough to make a
vest for the average Recorder. AS
to Town Councils-they are Little
White Cars, unhampered by Duma
or Bureau.
They not only do just what they
please, but they do it just as they
please.
Don't come asking me where a mu-
nicipality gets the fright to do
this, that, or the other. I'm too
busy man to be interrupted by flu
tile and exasperating questions Of
that kind. T. E. w.

TAFT AND THE FRIARS.


December 9th, in the article, "Mr.
Taft and Papas Hierarchy, you
speak of Taft giving the friars
100000 for their dishonesty &C
quired land. Now let me quote
from Taft's letter to Rev. Magnus
Larson, pastor of the Swedish Bap
fist church, st. Paul, MINI. In the
letter to him he says the 100000
was paid from bonds issued by
the Philippine Government and ap
proved by the Filipinos. I suppose,
according to that, the Filipinos had
rather pay the Pope 100000 than
give the beastly friars the husbands
duty ON the wedding night. He
speaks of how he assisted Rome, and
we suppose the Pope agreed that the
friars would not longer exact the
rights of Fonda. And it looks as if
that is about all the poor Filipinos
got for their $7,O0O,000, for he says
the present Governor is Roman
Catholic.
The poor natives had to be bond
ed, to keep their homes, and Taft
does not claim in his letter to Lar
son, they took the 100000 and
got out of the island. No one claims
they are dispossessed of church
property. Still the $7,000,000 raised
against the poor Filippinos, it is
without any doubt the rottenest and
dirtiest deal that was ever pulled off
in our country.
Now let us turn to Mr.. Bryan, who
had been to the island in his trip
around the world, and knew all the
circumstances in regard to the deal,
and when the company got hot and
the mighty hunter was afraid Bryan
would spring the Philippine deal, he
called him down, and Bryan rared
at the mighty hunter, and let Taft go
with his deal with the Pope. I think
Bryan the worst political coward in
the land. With his command of Ian
guage, and magnetic force, he could
have downed Taft sure. He maybe
thought his personality was worth as
much as Taft's 100000. He had
interviews with the Pope when he
came around the world. Now, what
are we to do? The great journals
and all news associations are censor
ed by the Hierarchy. In this Philip
pine deal everything was kept down,
and Taft was given great credit for
how he had Strengthened out the
natives All the leading papers here
in old Missouri are controlled by the
same power. I can not get anything
published-that is, the least word
against the Catholics. They domi-
nate the entire press, even the Com
moner will not publish anything
detrimental to the old Roman
Church The only way to break
through this mountain of power is
to call a new party convention, which
could be done 1t can not be done
the way you are trying. You can not
get good support, and the other pa
pers will not print word from your
pen. / am a reformer as we'll as
yourself, and all that think as we
do must get in shape to pull to-
gether, and the only way is to call a
convention, and in the call exclude
all office-holders in State and nation,
and all land managers, and all old
political hacks, get together a class
of producers, and then start few
good men out in the lecture field,
and they must whale it to the old
press until all of the small journals
come into line, and then they will
have to show their hand.
Inclosed please find an article
which will give you tip what to do.

ALL PAPERS SHOULD DEVOTE

Editor Jeffersonian:-Plea al
low me space, on your letters from

warning to those editors who arbi-
trarily refuse to publish views of
people with whom they do not

your failure to get a hearing in the
