Men Consider Public

L
An impression that the railway
Brotherhoods have adopted public
be-damned" attitude in the present
wage scale controversy was earnestly
discounted today by w. NJ Martin,
general chairman of the Brotherhood
of Railway Engineers and chairman
of the joint committee representing
the thirteen crafts employed by the
A. B. & A. railroad and concerned in
the proposed wage cuts.
Mr. Martin asserted that the Bro
therhoods had very real purpose in
protecting the interests of tht general
public, of which the members of the
Brotherhoods form a large part
"Our attitude toward the railroad
operators" said Mr.. Martin, as this:
you have taken huge sums of money
from the general public in the form
of increased freight rates and special
Legislative appropriations for the
avowed purpose of paying us higher
wages; when you return that money
and reduce freight and passenger
rates to the old basis, we will con-
slider accepting wage reductions. You
got the money for us, and you have
got to come through"
Regret False Impression
Mr.. Martins statement of the at
titude of the employees was heartily
endorsed by many local union offic-
ials interviewed by your correspond
emf. They expressed deep regret that
an impression should have become
general that the employees of the rail-
roads are simply out to "get theirs"
regardless of consequences.

COLLEGE SOCIETY
SEEKS NEW HOME
ZETA SIGMA OFFICIALS TAKE
OPTION ON PLACE-FACULTY
ANNOUNCEMENTS MADE.

Hota Sigma literary society of Al
ma College has evidently determined
upon the purchase of a home i'm this
city for a society house, and last Sat
urday officers of the society closed an
option for the purchase of the Charles
O. Ward residence at the corner Of
West Superior street and Lincoln ave-
nue., which is now rapidly nearing
completion.
The home that the society is seek
ing is the most modern and best con-
structed house to be built in Alma
this year, and with its location, just
two blocks from the college campus
is regarded by the members of the
society as having an ideal location.
The society is now opening a cam
paign among the old members of the
organization to provide for funds for
the first payment on the structure
and to provide sinking fund for
emergency purposes.
The desire of the society to secure
a home for itself brought about a
special meeting Of the faculty of the
college Saturday morning, at which
the idea involved to purchase home
for the society was approved.
Other important matters PERTAINING
10 the future of the college, which
were opened up by the society's de
sire to secure a home for itself, were
also gone into at the faculty meeting,
and announcements in regard to a
number of the decisions of the facul-
ty We're made following the meeting.
1t was said that the faculty at an
early date expects to prepare an
approved list of houses where stu
dents may room, to provide a uni
f0rmity Of agreement which will pro-
vide those conducting the rooming
houses, a more stable contract with
the students. President Crooks said
when questioned. that this step was
not being taken as an anti-profiteer-
ing method, as no rumors of prof
iteering had been heard in this con-
nection, but simply to make for bet
ter conditions and more pleasant re-
lations in rooming houses.
That the other mems literary So
ciety may be expected soon, to seek
home for itself, is seemingly antici-
pated in the announcement that fresh
men will not be expected to live in
society houses, and gives an indica-
ton that two or three years may find
Pioneer Hall Freshman dormitory
The faculty also declared for a pol
icy Of having young women Of the
college, whose parents do not reside
in the city, live in dormitories under
college supervision, which seemingly
raises a wall against the possible de-
sire in the future Of any Of the wo-
mems literary societies seeking to
secure home for itself
President Crooks suggested that an
ideal condition at the college would
be in having dormitories enough for
all students, but that the college has
not the right to expect sufficient
funds for this purpose for some time
and intimated that the present de-
velopment would be for the interest
of the college, as it would tend tC
keep students at Alma and to bring
old students back.

Forensic Activities
Planned for Year

This year Alma expects excellent
results in debating and oratorical ac-
tivities in measure, because of the
wealth Of old and new material on the
campus, but more greatly so because
Of the anticipated aid and coaching Of
Professor Hamilton, who since his adj
mission to the faculty three years
ago, has developed successful debat-
ors and orators. Coming to Alma at
the unsettled period after the war,
Prof. Hamilton found the practice Of
oratory and debate in deplorable
state. Since that time his efforts have
produced teams in both branches Of
public speech that have been worthy
representatives of Alma College. Two
years ago, in the triangle league AL
ma won one and lost one debate with
Hope, the strongest debating organ
ization in the NJ. /. o. A. Last year
the Judges turned an obvious victory
for Alma's Affirmative team into
defeat. The Negative team, how
ever, was more successful winning
its contest with Olivet by a three to
none decision.
Every student recognizes the flu
ency with which Prof. Hamilton han
dies the English language and accedes
the drive and personality that charac-
terize Alma's teams to constant as
ISOLATION with the coach who has so
adeptly mastered the art Of public
speech. Thorough and experienced
coaching is indispensable to groups or
individuals engaged in oratory, and
this is one Of the necessary requisites
Of which Alma boasts.

WHEN TO THANK GOD.

Can we be as thankful for a
promise as for the fultillment of
the promise? Yes, if we trust the
one who promises. Suppose a
wealthy friend, in whom we have
entire confidence, tells US that
because he knows we have a ii.
nancial obligation to meet on a
certain date he will, just before
obligation falls due, give us more
than .enough money 10 meet it.
Do we thank him then, or do we
wait until after he has paid ov.
er the money? God has promised
us personally to supply all our
needs. Whenever a need comes
into view, do we thank God in
advance, or do we keep Him wal.
ting until after He has made
good" and then thank Him:
Lacked We anything?" said the
Lord to the seventy, who had
been sent out without any world
ly emoluments, and they answer,
ed, mo, Lord" Suppose we
thank God now for His abundant
meeting of that need which lies
ahead. S. S. Times.
