However, it is true chat our young

CLEAN POLITICS

For years 1t has been said that the
coming generation must get rid of the
disgraceful political qualities of our
government, and II is up to the col
lege men and women to take the lead
in this move. If they are to accom-
plish much they must begin at home
in student politics.
With the advent of the annual stu
dent election one may hear wild rum
ors at any corner of the campus.
Many of these rumors are legitimate,
but there are often those that are
circulated to injure this or that stu
dent candidate, with no word of truth
in their content.
University studeHks Of the higher
type will not tolerate such campaign
ing. They will refuse to spread prop
aganda that has en- unclean political
tang to it. They will Judge each can
didate fairly weighing his qualifica-
tions carefully and basing their judg-
ment on what he has done and is cap
able of doing.

WOMEN AND SPRING

At each change Of season Dame
Fashion issues new DEGREES that
cause feminine beings everywhere to
forsake the garb they wear for later
creations. There is no season in the
year that a woman thinks is the
wrong time to make additions to her
wordrobe. Constantly discarding and
as constantly adding, as she follows
the commands OF her enchantress.
Fashion. she buys. buys. buys, with
an eye ever to timeliness and the fad
Of the hour. The ideal wardrobe. it
seems, is always new in the sense of
being constantly renewed.
1t Is particularly in the spring tha;
Madam has the idea that her costume
looks a bit too familiar, and with the
season come new garments expressing
daintily and subtly the gayety, the
grace, the elusive loveliness of spring
time itself.
In the spring young mans fancy
may turn lightly to thoughts of love.
In the spring woman's fancy turns
to clothes, but she is dead in earnest

Now Is the Time to
Free the Philippines

Since the Philippine Islands have
advanced far enough to suit even
Americas civilized taste in Christian
ity. morals, education and justice;
since the peoples of the islands are
unanimous in wanting their indepen-
dence; and since the Japanese men
ace is merely humbug, there is only
one thing for America to do, and that
is. to grant tie Philippines their in
dependence.
In spite OF the opposition Of some
traders and a few large corporations,
the people of the United States are
more or less Indifferent about grant
ing the islands their independence.
1T is not hurting us, and we know
it is not hurting them; let's let well
enough alone,' is the general atti-
tude. In fact, that it the attitude Of

NOTHING DOING, BOYS

Legionaires may look askance a,
the government after knowing how
Australia and far poorer countries
than ours have handled the bonus
problem. A comparison with other
countries seems to give the soldier
just ground for his claim and throws
the refusal of Congress to discuss
bonus legislation in a rather bad
light.
1t is not to be wondered at, how
ever, that the question of the bonus
was shelved at this time. The prob
lem of financing the loan involved is
far greater than the country/can well
handle in the face Of the rising costs
of living and the resultant loss it would
entail for the $4,000 900 bondholders
in the country. The issue of such a
loan would necessarily increase the
present currency imitation and lead
to higher living costs, and would also
cause a decline in Liberty Bond quo
tations. congressman claim. 1t is
doubtful also if loan could be float
ed even il higher interest rate were
allowed. Such loan, now that many
of the soldiers are not needing such
aid. certainly would not appeal to a
large number of the people.
The shelving Of the proposal at
this time with the promise of aid in
the future amounts to gentle re-
fusal to acknowledge the demand of
the legion. The promise merely af-
fords an easy way of avoiding the is
sue without further argument. The
legion may continue to look forward
in hope, but the action in Congress is
equivalent to a firm nothing doing,

OUIJA MAKES REASON TOTTER

That thousands upon thousands of
intelligent persons in this supposedly
cultured and rational nation of ours
should, become believers in such a
practice as the so-called automatic
writing by tho use Of the ouija board,
seems hard to believe. But it's true,
nevertheless.
Thoughts brought out by the ouija
board or any other form of automatic
writing are easily explained, being
simply the recurrence to the mind Of
past events or ideas, or else new
thoughts built up by the imagination.
By intense concentration it is p0ssi-
BILE for one to call to mind facts which
he may have learned in the past in
somewhat passive manner, the in
formation having been gained when,
his attention being focused on some
other matter, he was practically un-
aware Of its entry.
Yet persons have been SO wrought
up over the the workings OF the
board that they have suffered nervous
breakdowns. some even having been
declared insare after having INDUCED
in long seances with the ouija board.

experiment has hi: a number of towns

there is now an ouija craze in the
