 It may, of course, be necessary for Congress to appropriate few htl- lions of dollars for this purpose. But after some years of residence n Washington we have discovered tha. Congress Is never so happy as when appropriating billions of dollars. so the financial matter ought to be cas- fly adjusted
 It occurs to us further that inss- much as polo players have always the entre to society, and inasmuch as everybody In the country is trying to break into society, that this national polo scheme would fill a long -fe,t want.
 With, at the end of 70 years. To-, 900 GOO polo players swarmng from every state in the union, Newport would indeed be a gay place. It might be necessary to enlarge the casino and abolish the naval station But we shall so impress our suprem- acy on the world by our skill at polo that we won't need our navy and tine residence quarter of Newport will thus have plenty of room for eXpan- sion.

UPRISING AGAINST HUNGARY CAMPS.
10000 Held Interned, Many of Whom Have No Charges
 Against Them

Budapest, July 16.-The government has lately been attacked by members of the national assembly because of the fact that 10000 persons are in internment camps in Hungary.
 Internment is powerful weapon in the hands of the government Any body can be interned by a simple decree of a polide director or sheriff, without previous judicial inquiry. There are cases where people have been interned upon anonymous in formation that they inter taincd bol- shevik sympathies.
 Bishop Giesswein was loudly aD- plauded in the assembly the other day when he declared that some Of the 20000 persons interned in the camps had been detained two years without having been once examined by magistrate. He stated that for mer communists are not released upon having served their sentences in prisons but usually are transferred to one of the internment camps.
 It is charged that these camps holds many who merely are disliked by government officials. The camps are isolated from the outside world, the prisoners pass their time in idle  are becoming hot-houses for the breeding of communism.
 Against Censorship
 Members of the assembly also cam plain against the censorship and charge that the local newspapers are subject to a minute and ignorant ap- plication of the law, resulting in the suppression ofneWs and comment which are unpleasant to the govern ment.
 The telegrams of foreign news paper correspondents are no more ex- empt from the vexations of censor ship than are the local newspapers. Commercial dispatches are censored and the censor frequently prevents the delivery of messages using code words
 1t is charged in the assembly that there is still a strong current oI semi official trend against the Jew. The chief of Budapest police recent ly undertook revision of the moving picture licenses on the ground tnas a more just distribution was desired Licenses were taken from 20 Jews and assigned to new petitioners
 These acts are no longer viewed with indifference but have been re- bulxed, by deputiesc. There are indl- cation that public opinion is veerins democratic and liberal principles and that it has become out of sympathy with the ultra national and ultra Christian war-cries of, street-corner politicians.

By A. E. pouaIas

To one who has watched with keen interest the development of events in Arizona for the 25 years, the prog ress of the eight years just passed stands out in prominence as the re- suit of great potential energies raised to highly organized life by the touch of a strong and fitting personality. A leader of sufficient force draws after him the looks and thoughts of the followers and they, looking in one direction, work together and make progress. Without the leader their attentions push in different direc- tions and each impedes the other.
 We of longer residence in the state have heard of the stirring early days of mining excitement and pioneer danger. We have seen the period of many saloons and few schools. We have travelled by stage and buck board and pony and know the real things of which a distorted glimpse is now only found in the exaggerated scenario. One by one the crude prim- itiye features have disappeared. We have seen the powerful influence of lodges and churches. of chambers of commerce and business clubs, of woman's suffrage and prohibition. These improvements are now from to 25 years old. But throughout it all, the irrisistible force which has produced these changes has been the regard in the mind of the pioneers for the oncoming generation and a deep feeling of responsibility to it. This is the motive behind the rapid development of education in Arizona.
 But in all these changes the state had been laying a foundation for it's career. Fifteen years ago a teacher was held in light regard. depart ing graduate said to one of our pro- fessors, T don't see how as good a man IS you can stay in such a miser- able profession The English of the students of that time carried a pio- neer aroma. There was naturally little home educational atmosphere. l could spot at once the rare student who had been accustomed to books. Pioneers could not carry much read ing matter across country with their children, their beds and their provi- sions.
 During that long preliminary pe- riod the state was not real unit. Each oasis was struggling for it's own existence, and among political plums proposed for distribution from time to time were various portions of the state university. As well cut a wa gon in parts and expect each wheel by itself to constitute a real vehicle as to separate the college of agricul- ture from the college of mines and engineering, and that from the col lege of arts. But there were days when parts of the state tried to do this: and how they realibe that their success would have doomed the state to be without, a worthy university at this time.
 The university graduated it's first students in 1895 and had a large preparatory department. Before my connection with it in 1906 there had been strong struggles to keep it in tact and free from politics, and to raise up in Arizona the ideals of higher education. Though not here, I was acquainted with the splendid efforts of the board of regents at the time of Dr. Babcock's election. They found in him a scholar of high

 Some men are so narrow as to be- graudge any sort of fame or produc- tivity to their women folk, but that is happily growing less common than it once was. If only women would ex- anime themselves and the world about them. decide it was what they wanted above all other things and then go ahead with their heart and soul and try to obtain it, there would be less unhappiness and discomfort.

The original ancestor of dogs had
a heart and mind and soul for
only one being. That being was his
master For his master he reserved
all the power of worship that inheres
in religion, all the devotion of which
man himself is capable at his best.
1t is likely that the original dog, UNI
less it was unkindly treated, never
felt the urge to return to his wild
kind-for he crayed the society Of
only one creature, and that creature
was its master
To be the permanent, inseparable
and closest possible companion OF man
is dogs only ambition. The acqutsi-
zion Of such reliable, disinterested
and whole-hearted devotiOn-a devO-
ton faithful unto death-mRrks an
unmistakable footprint in the path Of
progress. -Svetozar TonjorOff in the

RECALL SOUTH SEA FASHIONS
Illustrations In Ancient Seek Owned
BY Museum Show cleth Much
Favored BY Bellies.

Fashions Of long ago in the South
Sea isles are recalled by a curious
book which recently became the
property Of the University museum,
remarks the Philadelphia Ledger. The
book, one OF the three known 10 be In
existence, was published In London
In 1857. It Is anonymous.
Fl. U. Hall, curator OF the museum.
has attributed the authorship OF the
book to Warren Hastings.
Perhaps the most Interesting part
OF the book is to be found in the Illus
tratIons, which are made from the
tapa cloth taken back to England by
Captain Cook.
"Tapa cloth" is name given to a
whole series Of textiles made by the
natives of the South seas from the
inner barks OF certain trees. II was
used for garments and was considered
quite stylish.
A yard would make breech clout,
but some Of the fair damsels went
much further and ordered fifty yards.
Then they wrapped It around their
bodies and executed dance, similar
to the "seven yeils," In which the tapa
cloth was slowly unwOund.
Women Of the island have given up
the tapa cloth for dresses and now
wear calicos, when they wear any
thing at all
Specimens of tapa cloth are ex-
ceedingly rare because of the fact that
duplication in this day is impossible.
The University museum owns several
fine individual pieces, but the book,
showing virtually every variety known,
contains more than can be found any
where else.
The text is a curious cOnglomera-
ton. The style Of the work Is said
to be so strong that 1t Is little wonder
that the author concealed his identity.
One interesting instance related Is
the fact that enc of the pieces of tapa
cloth was given by a mother In pay
mant for her son who had been sold
for an iron nail.
