anxiety in the capital, and the order is
sued today, forbidding the taking Of

CONfIDE IN THE HERALD

The Herald wants the public
to use it's columns. If any person
has an idea that he or she thinks
will interest the public, that per
son is cordially invited to. make
use of The Herald's columns to
put that idea in circulation. Not
all the wisdom in one community
is bound up in the brain of the
publisher of newspaper, not by
by any manner of means. The
newspaper publisher collects the
news so far as possible and COM
ments editorially on passing
events. The newspaper publish.
err is morally certain to miss
some item of news each week;
no mortal is either omnipresent
or omniscient. If the public will
tell the publisher of happenings,
that will help. Or let those who
know of happenings send an &C
count in to the newspaper office;
the publisher is always glad to
get them.
Occasionally ne wspap per
makes editorial statements with
which some people differ. Then
it is the public's turn to send in
written communications stating
their views. Such communica-
tions, if not abusive or libelous,
are always welcome. There is
just one proviso, namely, that
the authors of communications
must father them. The name of
the writer must be attached, not
necessarily for publication,
though that is always desirable,
but as a guarantee of good faith.
Anonymous communications are
promptly assigned to the waste
basket. So, then, use The Her
AIDS columns freely. # you
have anything on your mind, tell
The Herald about it and let The
Herald print it. In addition to
relieving the mind, this will
open up discussions which will
prove valuable and interesting.
Use the columns of The Herald
freely on all occasions but be
sure and sign your name to your
communications.

about seven leagues. Russell,
the bald-pated humorist of the
Long Bow" column of the Min.
neapolis Journal, wrote some
thing the other day on this sub
ject. 1t was about tn e folks
who think they can write a book
a good deal better than can the
average author, but the same
thoughts apply in the case of
running the paper. Here it is;
read it:
Thousands of people smile at
the stuff they find in books and
are perfectly certain that the
writer's are of the long cared va
riety. But anyone. no matter
who, will suddenly learn an
enormous amount about the ter
minal facilities of his inspiration
if he once sits down to write a
book. His great ideas dwindle
and shrink, his wit and humor
flatten and run on him like tar

and he begins to feel like man

THE UNKISSED UNDERGRADUATE

The daily papers are passing
humorous comments on the al.
legged fact that large proper
ton of the graduates of Prince
ton University in this year
of grace, testify that they have
never kissed a girl. The Dull.
nth News.Tribune handles the
matter as follows:
"Of the 300 seniors who will be
graduated from Princeton this
year, 2O3 admit that on Sunday
and divers occasions they have
kissed sundry and divers girls.
How many each one kissed or
what was the average was not
included in the statistics.
Neither does this important,
not to say thrilling bit of statis-
tical literature, say what was
the matter with the other 81.
Presumably they are of average
intelligence or they would not
have gotten so far in their class
work.
PRESUMABLY they are not all
residents of Princeton, but have
been allowed out evenings with.
out chaperon, to attend church
festivals and their school plays.
1t does not seem possible, either,
that so many could be so NOR
tally ugly that none but their
mothers could be induced to kiss
them.
"How then. could it happen
that in 800 young men there
should be 81 unkissed? What
was the matter with this third
of these 1918 Princetonians?
We do not know, but we sus-
pect that at least 81 of them
lied"
