UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
STOP FRAT TALK


Student Body Meeting Saturday Puts
in the Discard the Subject Of Frats.
Jim Perry Oncrs Resolution in the
Midst OF Explanations on Recent
Lobby.
Columbia, March 14.-All talk OF
fraternities and subrosas at the Uni
versity was voted into the discard Sat
urday, when a meeting OF the student
body of the institution unanimously
adopted a resolution by James Perry,
member of the junior law class and
assistant foot ball coach, to the eff
feet that all discussion OF the subject
Of fratcrnitics be dispensed with un-
til next year.
The question OF fraternities came
up when e. b. Smith, member OF the
junior law class, made an explanation
of his position regarding the recen,
legislative fight over the bill to legal
ize fratelnities. He stated that he
had been a member of the student
body committee appointed to petition
the legislature to repeal he act pro
hibitng fratcrniticS in state colleges
lie said that certain reservations re-
gardng the fraternity situation, hay
ing to do with the existence of sub
rosas. had been disrcgardcd by tho
education committee Of the state Sen
ate. thus leaving him free to WORK
against the bill as reported to tht
state Senate and not to continue his
support.
Guy Gullick, another member Of th'
committee. stated that he had had tn
same instructions from the studcn
body to support the bill, with the res
eryations, and that when the rcserva
tions were laid aside by the commit
tee in the Senate. Mr.. Gullick kcp
ND his fight for the bill, believing tina
the report Of the education cOmmittc
was better than no fraternity bill.
at this juncturc in the stndcn
meeting Mr.. Perry offered his resoll
tion that the subject OF fraternitic
be dispensed with for the rcmainde
OF this year, and the motion was cal
ried unanimously.

Cadet NJ E. Grassland was tried
by the discipline committee and found
guilty OF disorder and yelling the word
''BolshcyiRi". He had been given a
punishment OF five weeks room ar
rest 20 demcrits and 20 extras. The
room arrest confined the cadet to the
limits OF his room except when at
college dutioS.
The board carefully reviewed the
stcnographic evidence taken at the
trial, and heard the statements of
cadets whom Grassland had delegated
to represent him. These representa-
| tives made the point that the discip-
| line committee had charged Cadet
Grassland for violation Of Para
graph 23S OF the Regulations, which
refers to refractory and disrcspcctful
conduct, but in the light Of his claim
not to have seen the commandant
when he did the yelling had found
him guilty Of violation Of another
paragraph. No. 269, which refers tc

scnded the sentence and rcmande'
the case back to the discipline com

cadet be tried on the charge Of viola

under the conditions laid down b
the board, and the committee agai
finds him guilty, the cadet can agai

booths they have always voted as AM
orleans and not as unionists or as
members of a particular class. They
have always resented attempt TO put
them in the position of supporting
disorder and disloyalty. They have
recorded their opposition to socialism
and to the un-American propaganda
which has been attempted to be i'm
posed upon them. They have always
endorsed law and order, and resented
any attempt to place them in a false
position.
There is not. and there never has
been, in the United States, such a
thing as ga labor VOTE" which could
be controlled and delivered either by
politicians or by labor leaders.
1t is plain that there is no such
thing as a labor vote-a vote that
may be controlled by promise of con-
cessions and privileges. which can be
delivered by supposed leaders to those
seeking public Office.
The average worker has a mind of
his own, and is the most difficult man
for the leader of a political faction
TO control. He will listen with inter
est, but when he goes into the poll
ing booth. he invariably votes his con-
victions and his conscience. having in
mind the best interests of humanity.
The workers of Florida do not want
special privileges. They want fan
play, and will resent any deal in which
they are attempted to be used as
Seats paws"
Misguided politicians will not find
it possible to exploit the votes of the
laboring men of the state on June 8
Those who are waging campaign
with that idea in mind will be sadly
disappointed.
A candidate for Office and his
friends may deceive some of the
voters some of the time, but they vii
find it impossible to stampede then
again by the cry of "wolf," or by
other deceptive methods.

THE GOVERNOR AND
HIS POLITICAL METHODS

Jacksonville Metropolis, July, 1919
After the last gubernatorial cam
paign, Governor Cats called at the
Metropolis Office to personally thank
this paper for what he declared was
dts unfailing fairness toward him
during the campaign" (although he
knew the Metropolis did not support
him). In the course of conversation
the governor was asked why he had
made such bitter attacks on the Cath
olics in his speeches-this being one
Of the chief planks of his platform.
Cats then made this significant an
swer: Governor Broward was shrewd
enough to have a battle cry that he
could shout loud and long all the time,
and which would stir the people up
so they would talk about it, and that
battle cry was the Everglades and
he worked it to a finish and won.
When l decided to enter the COVER
nor's race, l had to have battle cry
which would stir up the people. and
after careful thought | decided to
choose the Catholic question: ]
worked it to a finish-and I Won"
Now the governor is trying out this
same idea again, in his race for the
U. S. Senate, and this time his battle
cry seems to be "class hatred" for
he is preaching this to stir up labor
against capital. He probably believes
this is the psychological time. with
all this unrest in the country. The
governor thinks, by using this method
he can get the laboring vote, but ha
forgets that in the ranks of labor are
intelligent and loyal conservative
Americans who think for themselves
and the governors apparent solicituda
fer the laboring men is laughingly
transparent. Intelligent laboring mer
are not being caught by that kind OF
propaganda.

SWEARINGEN AT
ST. PETERSBURG
st. Petersburg independently

(St. Petersburg independently
1t is fortunate that some of the
good people of St. Petersburg had the
opportunity last night to see the
glazing contrast between two candi-
dates for governor-Cary Hardee
and Van Swearingen. The only pity
is that every voter could not have
witnessed the showing.
Swearingen stalked unlimited into
meeting called and advertised for
H&rdee and by Hardee's friends, in a
most unmannerly way interrupted
Mayor Lang to demand division Of
time, arose and took his hat threat
ening to leave the meeting if not al
lowed to dictate the terms of "joint
debate" no one but himself and a
handful of his extremist friends de-
sired. When Hardee in a most gen
tlemanly and generous way granted
him everything he demanded, Swear
ingen repaid the courtesy by plung-
ing Immediately into vicious TRADE
and personal attack upon his host
His language was that of a coarse
political demagogue, his manner was
that of an insulting hoodlum, and his
speech" was the cheap and stale
harangue of the backwoods politician,
railing against the interests" and tie
Subsidized press" and appealing to
class prejudice. In 45 minutes he gave
not one reason why he should be elect
ed governor, gained never a bit of
applause, and after Hardee had re-
nj no nd u n
out, refusing to hear Swearingen's
reJoinder. 1t was a most humiliat-
ing reception for the Cats candi-
date, and in his realization that he
faced defeat he snapped and snarled
at everything about him.
When Hardee arose to reply he
was dignified, calm. smiling and cour-
teous, and he was greeted with a
round of applause which continued
until he begged for quiet. In that
few minutes Swearingen read the
fate of Cattsism and his own hopes
in St. Petersburg. Hardee gave scant
attention to the Swearingen vilifica-
ton, but with wit and good humor
turned point after point against him,
to the great pleasure of his listeners.
He discussed real issues in state af-
fairs and pied for a better govern
ment in Florida, showing capacity
and familiarity with the needs of the
state. The contrast between the two
types of men and their measure of
state affairs was very pronounced

CATS CLUBS

The Star has heard a good deal of
talk recently about the formation of
Cats clubs among the negroes of this
county, but has paid little attention to
it. It's attention has been called re-
Gently to an instance which gives a
strong basis for the report.
Some of our well-known and relia-
Bile citizens, while out in the north
west part of the county, noticed a
couple of strange white men approach
a negro church. where there was a
good sized crowd of colored men wait
ing, and begin holding a meeting.
Guards were posted, so the citizens
couldn't get near the church. They
recognized several of the negroes and
soon after the gathering meeting one
of them asked him what it was about.
The man replied without hesitation
that the two white strangers had been
trying to form Cats club.
If this story is true, and there is
strong probability that it is, attempts
are being made to form Cats clubs
among the negroes all over the state
with view of Cats running indie
pendent if he is defeated in the pri-
mary, which he is almost certain to
be. There is some talk about Swear
ingen being implicated in this move
but the Star thinks that hardly prob.
able.
There is no chance of Cats getting
anywhere with the negro vote. Some
few of the negroes may turn boil
shevik, but the great majority Of
them are republicans, as their father:
and grandfathers were. They have
a candidate for senator in judge
Cheney of Orlando-a much better
man than Catts-and at least nine on
of ten of them will vote for him. They
may join Cats clubs and rat clubs
just for the fun of it-but when the!
go into the voting booth they will pu
their pencil marks against republican
names.
But any white man who will g
around the country trying to organic
the negroes into what would prac
tically be a party of anarchists, i
lower down in the scale of creation
than skunk. and they will be treat
ed in this county like they wer
skunks. The Star advises all colore,
men to keep away from such scoun
drels and renegades, for the Sta
would not like to see any decent negr
hurt because he happened to be in o
in the vicinity of bad company.

SHOOTING FOR A
TURKEY SUPPER

The Belleview Gun and Rod Club
on Thursday, at Smith Lake, held
trap shooting contest, and to inject
some "pep" into the struggle tur-
key supper with all the "fixins" was
provided for the shooters. In addi-
ton a box of cigars was offered by
the president as prize to be given
to the highest gun. The cigars were
easily won by Charley Davis of Sum-
merfield, with his spiteful little twenty
gauge, who, with 3 wind blowing so
strongly that the targets, in many
instances, would be blown back to the
trap, and whipped about in every di-
rection, made the remarkable score of
thirteen out of fifteen targets. Under
the conditions prevailing, and this
wind handicap, this score easily
places Mr.. Davis in the expert class.
The club members were divided into
two teams, one headed by the presi-
dent of the club, and the other by
Capt. Tom Hames. the losing team to
pay for the supper. The captains
team won in a canter. and the presi-
dents team is now paying their as
seAments with cheerfulness and
promptness that betoken their breed
ing and training as gentlemen and
sportsmen.
The shooting, as above stated, was
so difficult that the poorest scores yet
made were chalked down against
both individuals and teams. While
the captains team furnished a fair
quota of goose eggs, the presidents
team alone provided enough to fill the
menu for supper. and have more than
twelve baskets full for another re-
past, but we are all good losers, aud
are looking forward to better work
next time.
We were glad to have so many OF
our Ocala members present and hope
