difference if all colleges agr. .?
Let the enormous earnings ia ised by

large expenses for athletics. cut down
the price of tickets, and let us get; over
the brainstorm we have been in. the
last thirty years.
We want athletics to continue, b 1t

forever. 1t is taint on our unvcrsi~

amateurs and paid not one cent for
coaching. Then each college will stand
on its own footing
No one not in the business knows
how far evil systems obtain in rcttinc
men from outside to Join teams and
how far the use Of money is corrupt

with the decision to Danish the paid
pro or the paid amateur. Let uar-
ward and Princeton join, and, as the
president of Amherst begs. cease ruin

Bonus and Better Times
An Economic Boon, Not a Burden

mentions the argument that "the men
have earned the bonus; that it was fair
that they should have it because some
body else at home earned lot more
money while they were serving" Right
here think he has struck the solu
ton Of the bonus problem.
Let every man who worked in shin
yard, ammunition plant or other gov
ernment job back here in the States"
while the rest of us were in France
who received bonus turn that bonus
back to the government to be used
IN the work of disqualification and in
other ways to aid the sick wounded
and otherwise disabled veterans, and
believe the rest of the former service
men will not want a bonus. But if.
IN addition to the high wages paid
shipyard workers, etc, they are to
retain their bonus, and every one Of
them seems to think he was entitled to
it, then see no reason why the Will
OF the majority of former service men
and the people should not be carried
out and compensation granted
Commander Foord may think it pro-
fanes the sacred sacrifice of those who
served gladly if they accept this com
pensation, but l wonder if he has ever
stood in a bread line with the Their
mometer registering zero or below,
waiting TO have some one hand him
bowl of soup, nothing to keep him
warm but a thin, ragged suit, nothing
to look forward TO but the forming of
the next bread line, as have so many Of
our comrades who enthusiastically
gave to the cause their last full meas
ure of DEVOTION"
As to the bonus being wrong from
moral and patriotic standpoint,
think the morals and patriotism of the
majority of cX-scrvice men who are in
favor of the bonus will compare favor
ably with the morals and patriotism
of the stay at-homes who are not in
favor of it. There didn't seem to he
any slurs cast upon our morals or
patriotism when in 1917 we set sail
FOR France with the praises and
promises OF those we left behind ring
ing in our ears
AS for the economic side, the paving
of the bonus will be boon instead Of
a calamity. The few who will accent
the cash bonus will do so because they
are IN actual need. No one is going

iantagcs of the other options in favor

Tribune:
"If | were an incarnatc devil whose
solo objective was to bring upon hu
man beings a reign of injustice and
misery, and could use only one in
strumcnt for that purpose. should
choose a government printing press.
With it could bring about chain
Of evil events which would paralyzc
industry. make a mockery of thrift
and effectively undermine morality.'
No cxaggeration is this. The
printing press has caused moro mis-
cry since the armisticc than did the
bio guns before it. Poison gas is
frightful, but fiat currency is dead
lier to greater numbers.
Mr.. Nandcrlip, with charitable
ness toward human folly creditablc to
his heart, excuses the paper money
eXcesscs, saying that hard necessi-
ties forbade their avoidance. This
may be doubted. At given time
country can float at par an amount
Of promises to pay capable of rea-
scnably precise ascertainment, This
credit is not increased by multiply
ing promises to pay. When printing
machinery revolves the depreciation
keeps about in pace with the inha-
ton. When a country which can cir
culate, let us say, a billion marks at
par emlts ten billions the mark
tends to lose nino-tenths of it's for
mer value. Purchasing power is not
enlarged-in its aggregate probably
declines.
AS a banker-cc economist Mr.. Van
derlip sees clearly-eXposes to view
a principal root Of European trou-
bles. SO doing he points to what
should be the chief item of the
agenda of the Genoa conference. if
the conference meets. Discussion Of
particular questions of trade and
credit are secondary. The confer
ence should initiate Mr.. Hughes. AS
he put first the scaling down of naval
armanpnts, SO there should be
scaling down, perhaps on a ratio
basis, Of unsecured currencies. Com
merce may be expected to revive
when traders know what they are to
get and what they are to pay.
Mr.. Nandcrlip is not so easy to
follow with respect to political prob
lens as he is with respect to pecu-
mary problems. He assails the Yer
sailles Treaty as born Of feelings of
hate and revenge. In support of this
charge he mentions the undue weight
the Paris delegates gave to the prin-
clple of determination. The two
things do not cohere Self-determi-
nation was pressed too far; too little
heed was given TO the claims of eco
nomic unity. But who were respon-
sible? Delegates who loudly boasted
of their idealism. At Paris the chief
advocate Of self-determination and
the creation Of new nations was the |
spokesman for America, who never
tired of advertising that this coun-
try was free of the hate spirit and
asked nothing for itself. 1t was said
that France was wicked when her
representatives questioned the wis
dom of comminuting the Hapsburg
dominions.

some NOTES
FROM BlRDLAND

! When a few really pleasant days
come and most of the snow has melt
ed, we begin to- listen for wild geese
and think of robins. Everyone is in
terested in birds to certain extent,
and this extent includes watching
eagerly for some of the first arrivals
from the south. The coming of
spring is the most important seasonal
events of the year. The first sign
is the melting snow. When the snow
is gone, other signs of its advance are
sought in the return of the birds.
Later, we note the growth Of plants;
birds then become less of a novelty
and their numbers exceed the limit
Of those known to many people. But
the return Of the first migrants will
continue to be an event Of universal
interest.
This year the North Dakota Audi
bon society, thru it's correspondents
in different parts Of the state, will
try to present a summary OF the
movements and other activities of the
birds over the state. The secretary
has sent out cards to be returned once
week with reports of arrivals and
any other notes Of interest. These
will be compiled each week and re-
port published in the daily papers. A
few more correspondents are desired,
especially in the Northern and west
ern parts of the state.
1t is not expected that such cores
pondents know all the birds, but COM
paratva notes on common ones are
especially desired. One learns the
birds ~ learning few at time.
Meade ark, killdeer, bluebird, tree
sparrow, iunco and red-winged black
bird, a4e other early arrivals which
should be Known to most people.
Our inevitable relapses or early
spring to winter may leave some
weeks without items of special In
terest, and the few days necessary to
get the reports into print may cause
the news to seem rather out of tune
with the weather at times. Birds,
like the seasons, show quite regular
movement subject to some variation.
The wild geese winter in the southern
half of the Mississippi valley. Their
spring migration follows closely the
melting of the snow, agreeing with. an
average temperature of about IS de-
grees. --.'...-.
The first migration is noticed in
southern Arkansas about Feb. 10;
Northern Iowa by March 10; southern
North Dakota by March 20; near
Hudson Bay by April 80. Such
regular movement is not shown by
the majority Of migratory birds.
