AWAKENS INTEREST
NCIVIC PROBLEMS

Another lecture! was the thought
racing through the minds of the stu
dent body last Saturday when Presi-
dent C. E. Allen introduced Elwood c.
Perisho, who was Educational Ad-
ministrator and lecturer for the A. E.
F. during the war; DIR. Perisho was at
one time president of the South Dako-
ia State College of Agriculture at
Bookings. We, however, began to
take more notice when he gave his
reason for being here. This attentive
attitude was kept throughout the en-
tire speech.
The first part of the talk, "Why I
Am Here" was a strong appeal to
young men and women of America to
take as much interest in the govern
ment and its problems now as in time
of war. eve take no interest in
things we pay no particular attention
to an dnow is the time to get that in
terest," he said. eff the United States
government cannot turn to the edu-
Gated young ~men and women Of this
country for a solution of the great
problems that confront it where shall
it turn"
The remainder of the speech was
on the social and industrial condition
in Great Britain. The English have
Irish situation, the industrial situa-
ton, and the temperance question. La
Dor is more of problem there than
here. The three great laboring class
es, the coal miners, the railroad men
and the transportation or dock men
have formed a New Triple Alliance
which practically controls even the
government.
The people of Great Britain are ter
ribly concerned about the temperance
situation of their country and there
seems to be great cause for anxiety.
The annual. drink bill of England with
only 45,000,000 people is as great as
ours was, and it is steadily increasing.
He said one great reason for this is
that as many as one-third of all the
patrons Of the saloons are women.
There are two questions that the
Englshman will ask an American:
"Why didn't America join the League
of Nations? and Why did America go
dry and how soon will it be wet
again 90" Mr.. Perisho said that at a
meeting of prominent club in Eng
land he heard a statesman remark:
"If the United States stays dry for
ten years and goes on with it's indus
trial progress there isn't man now
living who will see England even get
in sight Of America"
He ended with plea that all young
men and women do their duty now by
becoming interested in the problems
that confront the state and the ma

certain farmer residing some seven OF
eight miles from New Ulm, Saturday
night. OF course, no one can blame
"Jiggs" for what happened, as he is a
