COLLEGE SNOBBERY

A relic Of the Feudal period
clings about our advanced schools,
and manifests itself now and then.
in such episodes as described III the
last Volante. "A freshman, who
supposed he Was = free American,
attending q college supported BY q
free state, refused to recognize the
privileges claimed by the upper
classes at Vermillion. According
to the Volante, q committee Of the
quality waited on the young man
and applied sundry .Inquisition
methods" Of painful discipline to
his body. This was designed TO-
convert the delinquent student into
a disciple Of the scheme sof upper
privilege. The uproar aroused
the neighborhood and the police,
who interrupted the torture cere-
monies Of these educated savages.
AS q compensation for. the res.
cue Of their victim, astudents' mass
meeting was held at the chapel,
where they exhorted themselves to
stand firm for their privileges and
their right to discipline offenders.
The editorial comment Of the
Volante favors the claims and acts
Of the upper classes. The Deans
seem to be at bay irresolute, or
timid.
We have no classes and grant no
privileges in America. We ko-tow
to no one by compulsion. We
chased these things out Of America
together with King Georges tea,
and his Hessians.
We will be free Of the tyran ny Of
snobbery in our state schools.
These schools must represent free
dom and equality as does our So
ciety, urlaws and our government
Let those beware, who would foster
and practise the petty tyranny Of
caste and priyilegein our Uniyer-
sity. Let those, Americans born,
but not bred, join Huerta in his
benevolent despotism over his
tcountrymen, and thus save us the
trouble of cleaning house here.

ICES the Richards Primary law as
the craziest law ever put over in
South Dakota" And to think that
this law was a product of our boast

the Press raises is to the registra-

The right to take part in a party

THE STATE DEBT.

Efforts to saddle upon Gov. Hoop
er all responsibility for a failure to
negotiate q sale of the states bonds
at a lower rate of interest, SO persist
" made by the regular" organs, will
fool no one. The people know that
Gov. Hoppe had absolutely nothing
to do with the stringency now pre-
vailing in financial circles. Next
thing these organs will charge the
governor itn responsibility for the
drouth and ne will be held account
able for the big bank and other fail
ures at Pittsburg. 1t would be just
about as fair to the governor in one
case as in the other.
The truth chout the matter is that
If there is airy blame attaching to the
failure to successfully float the
states bonds al low rate of interest
it should attach to the legislature.
Not the present one, but the legis-
latures of the past twelve years. II
we had had less politics and more
business in our legislatures during
the past ten years provision would
have been made for refunding the
debt before it became due. All fac
lions and all PARTIES have been re-
miss in this matter.
Gov. Hooper and the members of
the funding board doubtless did the
best that they could under the cir
cumstances. That they were forced
to pay an unconscionable rate of in
terest we do not deny. But 1t was
better to pay seven per cent than il
was to have the states obligations
default. They faced an alternative
and they made the best possible
choice. TIE states credit has not
been impaired, as the liquor press
would have the people believe, on the
contrary it has been strengthened by
the willingness of the states offic-
ials to pay an excessive rate Of inter-
est rather than default. New York
specials to the liquor organs that are
criticising the governor give the lie
to the claim that paying high rate
of interest will adversely effect the
states credit

ON THE WALLS OF A SALOON.

A card bearing the following in

From his speech before the gen.

"The saloon is a nuisance. The

building in which it exists than the
odor of slaughter house to the
block in which it is located.

looks for crime, and The last place he
would go to look for virture."

SEX HYGIENE,

The course in sex hygiene planned
for the public schools of Chicago by
the superintendent, Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young, has been vetoed by the board
of education of that city. This action
indicates quit. a widespread distrust
of this innovation AS the Spring
field Republican says: "It is a vex-
ed question with something to be said
on both sides. If parents will not do
their part some substitute must be
found, but wholesale instruction by
lectures can never take the place of
care, which is, largely, not a matter
of instruction at all, but of discipline,
protection and vigilant, loving super
vision"
The Republican thinks that the
place for reform to begin is in the
home Too much talking about such
matters is disturbing to young minds
which are unable to survey the SUBJ
ject in true perspective. Evils should
be made abhorrent, but should not be
explicitly discussed unless it be-
comes necessary. Chattanooga

There should be but one ties. for
our public servants, the test that is

If that were the only test govern.

than it is now The one thing that
makes our government. state, cCun-
lty, city and national so tremendously
expensive is the spoils system. Men
are too often elected or appointed
to Office whose only claim to prefer
ment is their ability to bring thu re,

whatever is given to their fitness TO

counties men are announcing as can,

ticket" AS II that would better
qualify them for collecting taxes or
executing the law.
The spoils system is the bane OF
our institutions. The post Office,
above all things, should not be the
victim longer of this pernicious sys
tenn. The public should have the
very best mail service possible.
Our whole commercial and indus
trial life in measure depends upon
it. The service should not be Grip
led or hampered because it is used
as a pension for broken down politi

Really now do men vote the ticket

YSAYE ENGAGED
 FOR RECITAL HERE
Great Belgian VioIinist to Be Heard Again in Slater Hall Concert Course.

The management of the Slater hall concerts takes much pleasure in an nouncins to the people of Norwich and vicinity that they have been able, af- ter considerable negotiation, to make q contract with Eugene Ysaye, the world famous violinist, for a recital in Slater hall on Friday evening, April IS. This they regard as a signal tri- umph in the interests of the music lovers of the community, as the great Belgian artist is in such demand that he commands a guarantee that few cities the size of Norwich can afford to give. There is, however, a little sentiment interming1ed with the pro- EeSsiona1 view of the matter and as MT. Ysaye has very pleasant recollec- ficns of his former visit to Norwich some eight years ago, it is very prob able that this feeling influenced him to urge his manager to include this oity in his itinerary for his tour in this country.
 Archibald Mitchell had the pleasure of hearing Ysaye play in Carnegie hall on March 4. It was one of the most enthusiastic receptions ever given a great artist as $500 persons sat and Btood through 8 fine programme which 800 others could not purchase tickets to hear. His manager told MT. Mitchell that YsaYe had given 27 concerts in New, York, Brooklyn and Jersey City this season and every one was a big success. This record has never been equalled- by any other vio1inist in the world The great Belgian has improved since his last visit to this country eight years ago. and the critics all agree that he is the greatest violin virtuoso of modern times. He has con sented on the occasion of his recital in Norwich. to give as one of the num- bere on his programme the Kruetzer sonata Cp. 47 by Beethoven. This is enc of the most beautiful compositions ever written for violin and piano and DO violiniSt ever lived who played it better than does Ysaye. who is now at tho senith of his powers.
 Mfr. Tsaye should receive a royal welcome upon his return visit to Nor wich, not only because he is the worlds supreme master of the violin, but be- cause he has. perhaps at some saeri- Aoe of his own financial interests, con- scented to appear here again in appre- citation Of the splendid reception ae- corded him eight years ago.
 A subscription list will be placed at tho Reore of George A. Davis on We'd nesday. March 19. and it is hoped that there will be a large response to the invitation to subscribe for tickets to
 he Ysaye recital. Admission will be E, all seats reserved.
