A CRACK AT COLLEGE

Buh. like his hopelessly standardized
course of study. it does not develop his
individual mentalty-his tendency, il
he has any, to stand apart and criticize
to think for himself. 1t teaches him TO
conform to standards, customs, and
ideals, not. to create or to criticize
them. His college life is pleasant and
successful just in so far as he develops
an aptitude for following and apinS
leaders, for accepting a ready made
point Of view, for being a mental and
moral chameion.
The man of marked individuality Is
rot comfortable when he gets to coll
lege. He is not the kind who delights
in yelling in chorus, who accept tho
dctation of seniors in the matter of
necktNs and caps, who toadies and
truckles to get into fraternities. who
bows down before some chunk of beef
and bone who spoiled promising car
eer on the farm to become a football
hero. He IS not the chap who Is inter-
ested in collecting little dabs of irrele-
want useless information as crow
collects bright pebbles. This chap is
an easily. recognized typo In every
freshman class. AL best he becomes
the sort of fellow who is known in
every college by the name ''sorehead."
That Il, he becomes chronically dis
gusted with himself and with colleges.
AT worst, he is overwhelmed by the
example of the life around him, and by
painful effort converts himself into "a
good. all-around man" who looks.

Governor Shoup's Message

Governors Shoup's message will commend itself to
the people of the state straightforward and bus
nesslke statement of the legislative needs which it will
be the duty of the present general assembly to supply
Some of these the result of changes due to the World
war; of readusment that being forwarded
IN many American states at the present time. Other
measures, which by far the important, appear
to indicate most wholesome and pleasing change from
government by partisan politicians for the benefit
of partisans and politicians toward government by
business for the benefit of taxpayers and of ci
zens generally without distinction of party.
Such include the consolidation of various
boards and commissions that created part of
personal political machine, the centralized control of
the state educational institutions, the improvement OF
the budget system, better system forshe construction
and maintenance of state highways, and tho consoda-
ton of boards and agencies of child welfare
work In all of these branches of the state government
the interest of the selfish politicians lies in the drec
ton of a mufarious and divided authority with in
creased expense while the interest of the people is in the
direction of simplicity, efficiency and economy.
Beyond any question the state will be greatly bene
fitted if the legislature puts into effect the
recommended by the governor Such reforms, however,
will not be accomplished without strong opposition from
those who expect profit, in personal political
way, from continuation of the present conditions. The
leaders in the house and senate who make genuine
and sincere effort to carry thru the program
must expect TO meet with open opposition and with
secret treaccy, but the effort will be worth the max
ing both for them and for the state
Colorado people both intelligent and indepen-
dent They will give Governor Shoup a full measure
Of credit for outlining most beneficial program and
they will justly apporton both credit and blame among
the supporters and the opponents of the administration
measures.

A Constitutional Convention

Governor Shoup's recommendation of constitu-
tonal convention for Colorado will with general
approval among those that familiar with the facts
in this connection He has stated briefly the fact that
the present constitution of this adopted many
years ago time when the general conditions were
quite different from that they at the present time,
and the further fact that such changes have been
made in the nature of patches and additions that
have marred the symmetry and disturbed the harmony
of the constitution a whole
The present constitution contains everything that
constitution ought contain, and also includes some
things that have proper place in document of this
kind The work of the proposed convention therefore
would not be in the nature of expansion and addition
but in the nature of smfication, condensation and
harmonization.
There is always the danger that such n convention
might fail in its work and that the people would not

Drives No Longer Popular

There will be general agreement with the statement
made by Charles Piez former chairman of the United
States shipping board that drives for charitable pur
poses such became familiar in the years
longer popular, and that it is desirable abandon
methods and get back to the old methods of obtaining
support for charities and other worthy from those
particularly interested in them, rather than from the
general public.
In connection with this very good advice it would
be we'll also for all those who responsible for these
various activities to remember that the general public
looks with suspicion upon overhead expenses, high sal
aries and the machinery that cxcusabe under war
conditions but is not needed at the present time.
More and more in the coming years the general pub
lie is going to insist upon its right to give it's money
where it peases and without compusion, and it will
ss also that much possible of the hundred cents
every dollar shall go directly possible the ultimate
purpose and little possible shall be used for sal
cost of administration and incidental expenses
There is no kind of charit, organization too big
or too small to profit by these remarks.

WHY
Is A TRAITOR CALLED A TURNCOAT.
I Copyright. 1920, BY The Wheeler Syn

History, which has played a leading
role in the formation of many words
which are familiar to us today. is di-
rcctly responsible for the term turn
coat as applied to a traitor or any
one else who deserts one cause in order
TO JOIN the opposite party.
This peculiarly appropriate designa-
tion owes its origin to Emmanuel, one
of the first dukes of Savoy whose
dominions lay between the contesting
houses of Spain and France, and who
was. on this account. forced to tenn
poriZe and fall in with the schemes OF
whichever party appeared to be in the
ascendcncy. Being so frequently
Obliged to shift his allegiance. the
Duke had coat made which was
blue on one side and white on the other
and might be worn with either side
out. When, in the interests of diplom-
acy, he thought it best to side with
the Spaniards, Emmanuel would wear
the blue side outcrmost, while, IL he
was working with the French. his coat
would appear to be white. 1t was for
this reason that he gained the surname
of the "turncoat." in order to distin-
guish him from other dukes of Savoy
also named Emmonuel-and the term
has come down. unaltered, to this day.
