~ says:
The working out of a plan
under which the public may have
a rightful voice in aid of justice
and in its own protection is one
of the most vital issues before us.
1t has been one of the most vital
issues before each generation of
humans since the race began.
Historically the headway made,
though slow, has been considerable.
Autocratic abuses once suffered
in silence now evoke outcry not
only from victims but also from a
growing number of onlookers who
share the aspiration for fair play.
The perfect plan will come when
the right spirit moves it. 1t is not
in sight yet.
Some experiments, howeve~,
seem worth trying as soon as pos
sible.
Heretofore government has put
premium on exploitation by
farming out natural resources and
the right to transport them to
private agencies, paying the most
Difference to those which could ex
tract the most profit.
This has produced a topheavy
industrialism with privilege usually
arrogant and tyrannous.
Were the public itself to control
natures resources and the right to
transport them it might at least
insure its own protection.
AS for justice, the will of the
many is as likely to promote it as
the self-interest of privileged
few.
While waiting, therefore, for the
perfect plan, it would be interest
ing to have real trial of Govern
ment ownership, the necessary ap-
proach to democracy in industry.

Blocking the
Royal Road

THE reports in hand indicate
that the college registrations
- for Septem Der have surpass-
ed all previous records.
The great institutions OF learn
iuc throughout the country are
DeI-.s literally stormed by the thou
sands of young men and women who
desire knowledge and training.
Princeton's enrolment is nearly
one-third greater than it has ever
been before. 1t is the same at Har-
ward and Yale and the smaller col
leges. Columbia has long since gone
into five figures in its student roll,
and is an educational metropolis in
numbers.
The female institutions are just
as crowded, and the difficulties of
admission are ever increasing. Vas
sar has informed applicants that its
classes are filled up to 1927. Bryn
Mawr is every year becoming
inaccessible to the aspiring student
seeking its advantages. Hundreds
of ambitious young men and women
are facing the impossibillty of
entrance to the greater schools. The
once royal road to learning is
strewn with thorns.
The guarded but none the less
definite propaganda Of restricted
g. 'cational opportunities just full
mIuated by the distinguished presi-
dents of Dartmouth and Brown is
only a forward expression of the
general apprehension of educa-
tional authorities that they will no
longer be able to answer all the
eager hands that are knocking for
admission at college doors.
The problem is deep and serious.
In a way it is of deeper import than
all the rest. 1t is far too early for
any noble voice to answer this
mighty problem with the harsh
conclusion-Shut the door!
But behind all difficulties lives
the public opinion that will be i'm
perative for an aspiring youth, and
behind all frowning obstacles rests
the imperishable record of the thou
sands who have risen by self-educa-
ton, and the rule that craving
knowledge will resolutely find a
way to get it.
No American youth of either sex
who desires an education need have
any fear that the way will not be
found by State or individual insti-
tutions to answer the desire. The
royal road to opportunity must not
be blocked in this land Of the free.

ALWAYS upward, always onward, farther
n daily from the cave:
Man has ceased to be a savage, ne may yet
avoid the grave;
He has taken on refinement, and begins to
use his bean;
He has turned from filthy habits and en-
deavors to be clean;
But he suddenly relapses to his wild and
primal state,
And goes out for bloody vengeance when
another lures his mate.
lie was once a crawling creature, covered,
IL probably, with slime,
But ambition stirred within him; he has
learned to be sublime;
He has linked the seas. and driven lengthy
tunnels through the hills,
He outflies the soaring eagle, and Is leaving
off his ills;
He has finally grown God.like; he's a won
der, he is great,
But he bids farewell to reason when another
lures his mate.
XXIOMAN. too, has been advancing; she is
w wonderful and sweet;
She has taught man to be decent; she mas
made his joys complete;
She has tanned him and refined him; she has
coaxed him to he kind;
She has ceased to sigh for baubles. and Is
broadening her mind,
But she suddenly relapses, as woman only
can,
And wants vengeance that is bloody when
another steals her man.
SHE'S as lovely as an angel; by her beauty
~ and her grace
She imparts mans inspiration-makes the
world better place;
She is tender, she is patient; she is glorious
and pure;
She has plumbed the depths of reason;
man may doubt, but she is sure;
Far across the misty ages lies the point
where she began,
But she's back there in an instant when
another steals her man.

To describe fully the services that
Poland rendered, especially under
the great Sobieski, keeping back the
Turks, would require a great deal
of space.
That man Sobieski, one of the
greatest of the Polish patriots, made
speciality of beating Turks
and keeping them from Eu-
ropean conquest. He beat them un-
der Mahomet Fourth. Later, after
he had been made king, Sobieski
beat the Turks again and drove
them out of Poland. Still later he
marched to Vienna and freed the
Austrians from the menace of the

Mustafa.
No lack of fighting quality in the
