eARsARiSM IN COLLEGES.

The death OF student in a Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania bowl fight
shows how close our highest culture
is to primitive barbarism. For surely
nobody will argue that it's any less
barbarous for college students to
maui each other to death in class
rushes than it is for savages to break
each others backs or crush each 9th.
er's ribs in tribal rows. The savages,
like the students, are fighting for
traditions and ideals"
II, this comparison is odious, the
hest that can be said for "class
scraps" in colleges and high schools
is that they are vestiges of the gang
spirit which animates small boys in
neighborhood Quarrels which, of
course, is itself a relic of tribal saw.
agery. The strange thing about it is
that the college fighting has moral
and official sanction. and is deemed
honorable whereas nobody has a good
word to say for the far less irrational
battles of juvenile gangs.
One student was crushed to death
at the bottom of a sQuirming heap
of students in the Pennsylvania fight.
Dozens more suffered serious contu-
sions and broken bones. Others may
suffer all their lives from the physi-
cal strain to which they were subject
ed. 1t is much the same in every big
college rush. It's time to do away
with all such savagery

PATIENT At LARGE
IN ZERO WEATHER

jamestown, N. D., Jan. 2O.-Al-
though a most careful search has
been made by the authorities, no
trace of Clarence McCord of GGrace
township, Grand Forks county, who
escaped from the state asylum for
the insane at jamestown two weeks
ago, has been found.
1t is believed that McCord. who
made his getaway during severely
cold weather. was frozen to death on
the prairie and the fact that no trace
has been found of the missing man
to date leads the authorities to be-
lieve that coyotes have devoured the
dead mans body.
The demented McCord could not
have gone to a civilized town with.
out attracting attention, and no re-
port of such a person has been re.
ceived. In the opinion of the author
tiles, 1t is a foregone CONCLUSION that
McCom froZe to death and all trace
OF his remains removed nv wolves
OF the prairie.
II is possible. Of course. that the
body may have hcen buried in a
snoWdrift but old-timers are con.
WINGED that that would he no obstacle

Wide Range
Under the theme of Fear God and
Take Your Own Part" Colonel Roose-
welt touched wide range of discus
sion. He appealed to America to full
fill her promises of liberty and equal
opportunity to the people who come
from foreign lands, declaring that to
be the first essential in Transforming
them into desirable citizens. Germany
had. he said, proved that an auto
cratic government can take care OF
its working classes and it's business
interests at the same time, and the
aim of the United States should be to
demonstrate that democracy could
accomplish the same things.
Military Training
Military training starting in the
high schools Of the country, greater
governmental control over corpora

TIE MANN ACT.

The Mann act was laudable ellor'
to check the white slave traffic. But
since il has been found TO have q
weak point where misconstruction
can creep in, il has been q fertile
source of money-making for black
mailers. The federal government
has recently unearthed an organized
gang OF men and women who have
been using the Mann act as an eX
cuse 10 get hush money in large sums
from unwary victims. most OF whom
were led into their difficulties by
members of the gang.
In so far as the Mann act has be
come an invitation 10 blackmailers
it Ought TO he improved. But black
mail existed long before the passage
of this law, and it finds a thousand
forms independent of it.
The only safe thing for a person
threatened with blackmail is 10 in
form the police, stand his ground, and
face the necessary publicity. Many
innocent people caught in some stu
alton which could be misconstrued
have paid blackmail, fearing that il
the affair were made public the truth
would not be believed and their repu'
tations would suffer. Doctors and
lawyers with growing children 10 pro
,ect have often come into this class
But it is never safe TO pay blackmail
no matter what the conditions, or
what the threats. The one who has
paid any sum at all 10 a blackmailer
is, if the secret comes out. branded
by his fear as guilty. And payment
is no security against publicity. II
is the chief characteristic OF the
blackmailer that he cannot be trusted
to keep faith.
If every citizen thus threatened
with injury would call the bluff and
face the music. there might be q
chance OF cleaning ont these nests OF
poisonous reptiles. II innocent, he
has really nothing to fear after thor,
