certain disorders that annoy almost
past the point of endurance. But the
issue is a much larger one.
The family of nations of the world
is more erratic and full of petty
jealousies than the people that COM
pose the respective nations. The eyes
of the world are on the Unites States
in regard to it's policy toward Mexico
and the minds of the world will be
quick to resent any attempt by this
nation to forcibly intervene in its
southern neighbor. Mexico is a land
rich with treasure, and it will be diff
ficult to convince the world that We
are altruistic in our endeavors to Sc
cure law and order.
Mexieo's best weapon against the
United States is the sentiment of the
other nations of the world, and this
country is bound to respect that de-
fense. Sane, logical thinking must
steer our course in any action against
the smaller republic so that the
course we pursue will be above re-
proach by critical world.

A CURE FOR IDIOCY

DIR. Leo E. Stanley of the California
penitentiary at San Quentin began his
experiments of transferring intersti-
tial glands with the object of curing
idiocy. He cut out the interstitial
glands of sane young criminal con-
demned to death and transferred it
to the body of an old, feeble-minded
man. The patient, moron, regained
his good sense, but he seemed to grow
younger also. The cure of old age
received all the publicity, to the ex-
clusion of the cure of feebleminded-
ness, possibly because men are more
concerned with finding their youth
than with improving their minds.
Doctor Stanley suspends judgment
as to whether his operation brings
back youth. 1t may be that the re-
turn of good health has been mistak-
en- for rejuvenescence. He is san
guine, however; he has found way
to remove the cause for some forms of
idiocy that predispose to criminality.
If his belief is sustained, guilty per-
sons will not offer the excuse of an
unfriendly environment or a tainted
heredity, but will blame faulty assem-
bling for their downfall.

Oklahoma to Cancel
Games at Dallas.


The University of Oklahoma has de-
cided not to wait longer to enter the
Missouri Valley Conference. This
decision will make necessary the can
ceiling of all games away from col
lege gridirons. Annually Oklahoma
has met the University of Texas at
Dallas during the Texas State Fair
and the Oklahoma Aggies every other
year at Oklahoma City. These games
are now to be cancelled although the
Texas contract calls for two more
games at Dallas.
Oklahoma hopes to offset the finan-
cial jolt received by the cancellation
of these two major games by meeting
Washington University at st. Louis
and Rice Institution at Houston next
fall. Conference rules limiting the
season to eight games will cause the
Sooners to drop Central Normal, King

AS TO MEXICO

We hear great cry these days
about Intervention in Mexico-an agi-
tation that this country should step
in with mailed fist and put down the
anarchy and revolution, the insults to
America and open defiance of Ameri-
can power. The past few weeks have
evidently brought the straw that
broke the camel's back and the Unit
ed States is beginning to show its
teeth and threaten armed interven-
ton.
The people of this country should
realize that our policy in regard to
Mexico must be conservative. Were
it needful only to consider that COM
paratively small independency itself,
there would be little to fear and lit
tie to lose in using force to quell

LABOR LEGISLATION

Congress is facing a number of del
icate domestic problems affecting
labor, and from all indications it is
prepared to carry things through in a
high-handed manner. Labor has been
unruly and must be squelched, is the
attitude Of large part of Congress.
To carry out its program of
squelching, it is ready to pass anti
strike laws, laws affecting free
speech and free assemblage, laws
shackling the rights of labor in vari-
Gus ways.
But such a course would be short
sighted and un-American. The high
tension of unrest and discomfort in
the country today is result of the
war, the nervous heritage Of the dis
aster. Already it is receding. Boil
shevism, with its millions poured into
propaganda, has little chance of gain
ing ground in this country. Congress
should discriminate between the great
body of American workmen, who are
truly patriotic, and that small group
of agitators, reds and anarchists.
1t should use a strong hand in deal
ing with radicals advocating sabotage
and the overthrow of government. De-
portation is the best method of deal
ing with them.
But anti-strike and anti-free speech
legislation directed against the whole
body of American workmen, who are
as patriotic as the senators who vast
ed five months in quibbling when the
country was crying for remedial leg
islation, would be disastrous. AS soon
as the present high tension relaxed
and conditions became normal, normal
persons would be calling for the re-
peal of such laws.
Any attempt to shackle the rights
of labor is un-American The Presi-
dent struck the keynote of the situa-
tion In his message to Congress: ::
The right of individuals to strike, is
inviolable and right which must not
be interfered with by the government,
but the government has the dominat-
ing right to protect all its people
against the challenge of any single
class"

MANY SPENT CHRISTMAS
WAITING TO COME HOME

A year ago Christmas! How long
ago that seems. Some of the stu
dents now enrolled in the University
were at that time in France; one was
in Australia, few in the Philippines.
some in South America and others II,
far distant parts of the United States.
This year they are nearly all home
for Christmas Day.
Most of the students now here who
saw active service during the recent
war when asked what they were do
ing year ago say first of all, Hanging
around waiting to come home" 9th
ers, however, spent the day enjoy
ing themselves, one even openly
avowed he had enough win blanc"
to drown all thoughts of nostalgia
on that day.
Lee Heidbrader had the good luck
to be in Base Hospital 90 at Langres-
sur-Marne when President and Mrs.

came through. The President shook
hands with every patient there. Mr..

Half swamped in mud, but cheer
full still, was Duke Parry and his
company, who were stationed at, Camp
Chatenay, sixty miles south of Paris.
They were cheerful because the whole
day was spent in entertaining the lit
tie French children with real Amer
ican Christmas.
The French people simply went
wild over the whole show" says Mr..
Parry. I'VE had everything from a
fat Santa Claus to tinsel and yellow
oranges and a basket of gifts for ev-
cry child there. In the evening there
was picture show, or cinema as they
call it, and every person in town was
invited. 1t was big day for Them =
Hayden Nichols and one of his
friends spent Christmas Day year
ago in making trip to the cathedral
at Rheims. An old man who lived in
the ruins and who had remained by
the famous church during the whole
of the vicious German bombardment
took them through the building. He
gave both a piece of the famous ro-
settle window glass as souvenir.
A couple of soldiers in the COM
Dany in which Dean Chenowefh wa :
member were sent to kill wild

But the soldiers got into a wine shop

happy, but without sign of a hog.
Consequently Christmas dinner in
that camp was worse than the usual
one.
Had Christmas Runaway.
In the evening, however, Chenoweth
had little excitement. He and a
partner were driving team of mules
down country road. The harness,
as every one knows, had to be kept
oiled. The ones on this team were un-
usually well creased. When the mules
took the rule in their hands and start
ed at their own pace nothing could
be done with the slippery strings and
they were allowed to go their way.
