Congressman G0uld's Talk Before
SkoWhegan Grange on Reciprocity.

Did you hear it? No | think not
and / don't think he intended You
should. Skowhegan Grange at the
regular meeting of March s, voted to
extend to Congressman Gould an in
yitation to talk on reciprocity at its
next regular meeting March %. Said
invitation was duly sent and accept
ed and Congressman Gould assured
certain members that he would be
glad to give the talk.
The evening OF March % being one
of the most stormy for the winter a
special meeting was called for Sat
urday evening, March - for said lee
ture and due notice given in the
Observation-Disclosures. What was the
result? The appearance of Mr..
Gould and still worse no excuse for
not appearing, but Skowhegan Grange
with a membership of five hundred
utterly ignored Have we got to be
lieye that our representative hasn't
the courage of his convictions in ex-
pressing himself on such important
public questions? Have we got to
believe he is going to dodge the is
sues? | do not want to believe any
thing of the kind but as one ] think
he acted unwisely in not appearing
or giving an excuse for not doing so.
AS a matter of courteousy l believe
the members of Skowhegan Grange
are entitled to an explanation.

LID SHUT WITH SNAP
AT THE UNIVERSITY
President Alderman Places Ban on Drinking
and Students Who Trangress Will
Be Dismissed

atudent indulging in alcoholic drinks,
by forbidding the holding of "soirees"
and BY dealing with the fraternity prob
lem. President Edwin A. Alderman Gre
ated thrill Of excitement that spread
over the Virginia campus ct the rrst
student hour OF tho year.
President Alderman opened the dis
cussion OF drinking at the assemgied
meeting of nearly all of the Virginia
students by denying the rumor that had
reached his ears that drinking was
winked at by the faculty" He said:
There Is a certain Chicago man who
thinks colleges are wicked places, aud
has gotten together got of lies and
fake statements about drinking I
doubt whether he has done any good
at all unless he has set the college
men to thinking, Drinking and drunk
cnncss are among the barbaric vices
that get themselves into tho life of
every group. There has been a rule
against drinking at Virginia, but II fell
into allegiance because Ii could not be
enforced. 1t must be the student opin-
ion that wipes out the excuses In their
life. The drink habit is no longer toll
Grated in the civilized world. whether
1t be among railroad employees or in
the business mans world.
thereafter drunkenness is forbidden
at Virginia, with the punishment OF
dismissal. Disturbance or disorder will
not be tolerated. ALL organized drink
ing parties, commonly known as sol
rees.' and all Indulgence in alcoholic
drinks ia forbidden. and the violation
means the suspension of all concerned.
We've seen tho end OF IT"
In speaking OF the fraternity, Presi-
dent Alderman dealt lightly. His poin
was that the fraternity must not be
placed above the college. but should
serve only as home for the students.
All those who oppose fraternities are
unwise. Fraternities do twenty times
as much good as harm. During the
past twenty-five years the fratornities
have reached colossal power-great in
physical wealth. social influence and
academic achievement"
