Professor Libby Speaks at Chapel
Wed. Oct. II

Chapel exercises were opened by
a selection nicely rendered by the
school orchestra The exercises were
conducted by the principal, Mr.. c. p.
Steward, and after making several
announcements he then presented
Professor Herbert c. Libby of Colby
College, who was welcomed with loud
applause.
Professor Libby spoke chiefly of
Education and Talent. He gave many
vivid examples concerning these
things. His speech was very hunor-
our and interesting. He greatly en-
phasized the saying, He can, who
thinks he can"
When he had finished, tremendous
applause called him back and he
made a remark which brought both
laughter and hearty applause from
the approaching students of F. II. s.
Every student enjoyed and perfectly
understood every word delivered by
Professor Libby. Every student ex-
pressed desire to hear Professor
Libby speak again and when he
visits Lawrence again he will be
welcomed with greater enthusiasm
because every student has now heard
and enjoyed his speaking. Each stu
dent of L. H. S. individually thanks
Professor Libby and L. H. s. as a
whole thanks him.

A, and paid 81 to enter b, where he

is his pocket. He paid 81 leaving B.
and 81 entering G; in 9 he again
doubled his remaining sum. He paid
81 to leave c, and 81 to enter d.
where he made another doubling.
When he left d, he paid 81, and then
found he had nothing left. How much
did he have at the start!
Yesterdays answer:
One man sent 157 letters. the other
sent 163.
This result may be obtained as fol-
lows: the amount of postage, deducted
from $3.50, left one-eighth the amount
spent on postage. Therefore $7.20 is
nine-eighths of the amount spent. Di-
vide 500 by 0, leaving so as one
eighth. Multiply so by 8, and we find
that $6.40 is the amount spent. As
each letter cost two cents to mail. 800
were sent. This would be 160 apiece
But as one man sent six more than
the other, we transfer three letters,
making one 157; the other 163. .

And our men novelists know. Should

Men are too simple and obvious, too

this calamity should come about. Like
all specialists, they are careful to pre-

That mystery is based ON the assump-

women are different from men and

upOn any rational ground.
This fact established-and our nov
elists have succeeded in getting it
firmly set up-the great science of in

IF PINCHOT WERE PRESIDENT

All doubt as to whether Governor Pin
chot aspires to be President of the
United States will be dispelled by the
speech he delivered to the citizenship
conference in Washington last Sunday.
Although he did not say in so many
words that the President was to BLANC
for the failure of prohibition" he made
it easy for the lay mind to put that in
terpretation upon what he did say.
If anyone should accuse Governor
Pinchot of making such an imputation.
he might defend himself by citing that
part of his speech in which he inveighed
against the System" by which authority
descends from the President to the sec
rotary of the treasury and thence to
the commissioner of internal revenue.
Yet he asserted, in another part of his
speech, that only the President could
meet the present emergency" because
the President alone can bring all gov
ernment forces into concerted attack
on violators: and prohibition" had
failed, he declared, because "no sincere,
intelligent and concerted nationwide ef-
fort" had been made to enforce it.
In various other ways Governor Pin
chot implied that the failure of "prohibi-
ton" was due to shortcomings of the
| President. For example:
1T is foolish to expect the state and
) municipal police officers to cope with
floods of illegal liquor let loose by Tho
failure of federal agents to dam the
flood at its source"
The conference of governors wa.
planned by the late President Harding
as means of bringing about local en-
forcement. The federal government ha'
failed; it was hoped TO get better re
suits by having the states take owe
much of the work of enforcement Presi

Moreover, in summing up, he charged
that politics is at the root OF the evil
If that be true, and if only the Presi-
dent, whose function it is to administer
the law. can bring about enforcement OF
the Volstead act then the logical con-
clusion to be drawn from Governor Pin
chot's speech as a whole is that the
President has been party to the play
ing of politics.
Whether any of these implied imputa-
tons comedies with the views of un-
prejudiccd observers is an independent
question. But fact that speaks for
itself is that Governor Pinchot prospec-
tive candidate for the Republican presi-
Dental nomination, has criticised the ad-
ministration of the most widely dis
cussed law in the nations statute books,
and indicated the manner in which he
would administer it if he were the chief
executive.
Yet that criticism was weakened by
his admission that "the President is al
ready heavily burdened," and by his
statement that an arrangement for the
centering of responsibility for "prohibi-
ton enforcement in the chief executive
should be "only temporary" Thus Gov
error Pinchot would create the impress
sion that the President could, if he
would, make the nation dry in a
twinkling. What would happen after
the temporary" arrangement was aban-
doned?

should collaborate in the task OF keeping
the peace throughout the world. Did
he thus violate his promise:
Some people, looking for point OF
attack, may say Nhat he did. But they
should consider the spirit rather than
the letter of his assertions. He did not
obtrudc any political ideas upon Ameri-
cans. So far as principles which they
cherish arc concerned, he indicated that
he was in hearty agreement with what
the United States had done and refused
to do. There was nothing in his promise
to imply that he would remain absolute
Ily silent on non-political matters of in
tcrnational interest.
On the positive side. he made il fairly
plain that he was Disguised with the
League OF Nations. Was he not correct
in assuming that Americas refusal to
Join that institution was not her final
word on the general subject of war and
peace? .
Ii he could suggest means whereby
the United States might realize the
broadcast of its world war aims without
entering an cntangling alliance with for
eign nations. could anybody Justly deny
him the right to speak, particularly when
he was being persistcntly pressed by
Americans themselves for his opinions
on international affairs?
Whether the plan outlined bv Great
Britain's former premier might be
worked out and practiced successfully is
an entirely different matter. He did
not go into details: he simply presented
an idea in tentative form. But he made
+it Enthusiastically plain that he advocated
no specific alliance between his country
and ours-no treaty, no written agree
to the world. But he would have these
tYo great nations go upon record as be-
ing opposed to war as legal institution
and thus produce upon the world 4
wholesome moral effect.
His plan, thus outlined. NAV seem
chimerical, the dream of an idealist
Possibly it is. But perhaps one should
not be quick to pass such judgment
War is a habit. Nations resort to it
because nations have resorted to it. His
torcallv. fighting has become the ofS
lious thing to do when peoples fall out
Before society became organized. duels
between individuals were regarded as
quite proper the offended challenged the
offender because that was the obvious
thing to do. A man who would neither
offer nor accept a challenge to mortal
combat was regarded as coward. Now
adays millions of~pcople observe tits
custom or that, not by reason, but sim
ply because it is the obvious thing to
DO.
Perhaps Great Britain and the United
States could not bring about enduring
world peace by definitely repudiating
war as legal institution. But so great
is the power of psychology, of habit. or
custom, that any peace plan not involv-
ing the prospect of entangFng alliances,
and committing neither Great Britain
nor the United States to the sacrifice
OF its own national security is not to be
scorned before its exponent if he be a
man of Mr.. Lloyd-Georges caliber, has
been given fair hearing.
