The Freshmen Rebel

Portland Journal: The acts of a
freshman class in Baton Rouge, La,
in invading a school, dragging girls,
boys and teachers alike from their
classes and clipping their hair, are
directly chargeable to the system Of
hazing and class domination now
rooted in most Of the educational in
stitutions of the country. 1t was only
the day before that this same class
had been subjected to clipping par
ty'' with the apparent approval of the
remainder of the school.
The system of class domination of
which the hazing bees are part is
not in keeping with American ideals.
1t is based on a discipline of one class
by a higher class and is discipline
enforced by the utmost humiliation.
The Baton Rouge freshmen, doubt
less in a spirit of play, rebelled
against their treatment. They had
a right to rebel. But the rebellion
took on the form of near riot with
unpleasant results 1t was the out
growth of the system.
The freshmen may be punished.
Perhaps it is merited. But punish
ment in this case will not prevent
other such cases. That can be done
only by doing away with class domi
nation in schools, domination that
is not only undemocratic, but imprac-
teal and abhorrent.

County Increases
It's Dairy Cows

Redwood county's dairy cow popu-
lation is increasing, according to fig
ures announced by the Blue Valley
Creamery Institute. The statement
covers an area embracing approx
mately one-eighth of the state in this
section, and is believed to hold true
for the county proper.
A 81 per cent gain in the number
of dairy cows two years old and over
is noted for the district over the pre-
ceding year, while the increase for
the state as whole was 6.8 per cent
as compared with 1923. The entire
United States shows an increase am
ounting to per cent, government
figures show.
The number of heifers 1 to 2 years
old as compared to the total number
of cows in this district seem to be
above the average, indicating the in
tention to bring more young stock
into milk in the near future.
In citing these figures the Institute
calls attention to the fact that the
United States needs 100000 more
cows every year if production is to
keep step with the normal growth of
demand for dairy products. There
are 1,412,000 more mouths to be fed
in the United States with every pass
ing year and with the increased con-
sumption of dairy products per capita,
this added number to the nations
herd will barely suffice to meet the
increased demand.

Good Business Ahead
Forbes Magazine.

Forbes Magazine.
Why shouldn't business improve
very substantially
Almost every major development
points towards expansion.
First-The gap between agricultural
and merchandise prices has been vir-
tually eliminated, so that our enorm-
Gus agricultural population will have
from now on greatly increased pur-
chasing power.
Second-Employment figures show
Improvement, and as real wages are
about as high as ever known in this
country, the purchasing power of our
many millions of wage earners is and
promises to continue to be almost
if not quite, unprecedented.
Third-Money never before was
more plentiful for business, industrial,
railroad and public utility purposes
and as the rates charged are unusual
ly low, our enterprising leaders will
feel encouraged to borrow and utilize
funds freely for wide variety OF
purposes.

Don't Crowd, Gentlemen

l know most unusual girl,
A paragon of virtue
(Here, husbands, give this pome a
whirl;
/ promise it won't hurt you.)
She does not scold you when you drop
Your pipe on the Administer,
Nor hound your footprints with mop
Like many wife or spinster.
You never find her needle in
Your chair-U see you doubt that
I've never heard her wheedlin'
For money lHow about that?)
The bedroom rugs of pink and white
You tramp on, if you wish to;
She doesn't care to start fight,
She hasn't the ambish to.
On wintry nights she does not vex
At rafting doors and sashes-
q hear you husbands snorting ex-
clamation points and dashes.)
Say, gents, don't push so eagerly
Line up, neat paradeu
Be just the thing so all can see;
I'll lead you past her Grade.

Fourth Our transportation sys-
TENS, representing an investment
some $40, 900, O0O, 900 and our largest
spenders, are better circumstanced
financially and physically than they
have been in many years. They have
been purchasing enormous quantities
of equipment, but as they never be-
fore were called upon to carry SO
great volume of traffic, they are
likely to continue to make unusually
heavy expenditures-and to be able
to meet them.
Fifth-The decentralization in Eu-
rope has adversely affected our for
eign trade during recent years, but
now that Europe has definitely turn
ed her face towards harmony and re-
cuperation, the prospects are that
this country will furnish various Eu-
ropean borrowers hundreds of mil
lions of dollars in the aggregate and
that some considerable part of this
money will go to purchase American
commodities and products.
Sixth-The election of Calvin Cool
idge will. be accepted by financial and
business leaders as conducive to con-
servatism rather than radicalism at
the seat of government, and this can
scarcely fail to stimulate enterprise.
Seventh-Should the election be
followed by an thrush of buyers, the
effect upon prices in most directions
could scarcely fail to be marked. If
this occurs, the long conserved policy
of hand-to-mouth buying is likely to
be abandoned, with rather emphatic
consequences.
Eighth-Our public utility enter
prises are rapidly becoming a factor
of the first Importance, and, now that
they are receiving more considerate
treatment from the regulatory bodies,
they are planning improvement and
expansions which will put many mil
lions of dollars into circulation and
give employment to large numbers
of workers.
Ninth-Railroad Consultations of
unprecedented magnitude, as well as
utility mergers, industrial mergers
and mining mergers, may play spec
tacular part in arousing the interest
of investors in stimulating general
sentiment during coming months.
Tenth-The stock market, having
resisted all attempts to precipitate
prediction "scare," may also play
an effective part in bringing on
business boom.

Oxford Dictionary

The so-called Oxford Dictionary,
which will be completed either this
wear or next, will be the realization
of an appeal made by Archbishop
Trench, Dean of Westminster, to the
Pathological Society in 1857.
The archbishop urged the society
Ito undertake the collection of mat
erials to complete the work done by
Bailey, Johnson, Todd, Webster,
Richardson and others, and to pre-
pare a supplement to all the diction-
aries which would register all omitted
words and sense and supply all the
historical information in which these
works were lacking, and above all,
should give quotations illustrating the
first and last appearance and every
notable point in the life history of
every word"
DIR. James Murray, later knighted
for his labor and scholarship, was the
most illustrious worker upon this die
tionary. It was his enthusiasm that
enlisted the support of the Oxford
University Press, which required that
he give his personal attention to the
compilation. Herbert Coleridge, Fred
erick j. Furnivall, DR.. Henry j. Brad
ley were also in charge of the work
until they in turn died. DR.. William
A. Craigie, who joined in 1907, is COM
pleting the dictionary.
There will be ten volumes in all
which will contain more than AYE, 00l
words. The total cost will be in the
neighborhood of $6,250, 900. Tht

A Princes Wealth

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Carlyle
said the prince of Wales to the man.
ager of his farm in Western Canada,
"this has been the happiest day OF
my life"
The burst of enthusiasm from
England's future king was not in.
spired by wine, women, jazz, baccarat
steeple-chasing, polo, dancing, sight
seeing or the plaudits of the multi
tude.
81 mean it," he affirmed. "This is
the first time in my life I've left like
a real man. I've met all the neigh
bors and l like them. What's more
/ think they like me, not because I'm
a prince, but because Pm one of the
gang"
When a neighbor this year failed
to visit the prince until he was about
to leave the ranch he was greeted
with: you're hell of a neighbors
Where've you been all this time 2"
A princes commonplace is a poor
mans wealth. A poor mans COM
monplace is a princes wealth. That
is, if the prince has at heart the right
stuff. Sincere human relations taken
as matter of course in the common
walks of life are the breath of life
to royalty imprisoned in the gas
chambers of flattery and pretense.

A LOT OF THEM SHOULD
GET THE SAME DOSE

It has cost Wayland Forbes, a
Harris, Ia, man $40 to learn that
other motorists have a right to at
least one-half the road Forbes refused
to allow another auto party to pass
him after two attempts, each time
crowding in front of the other driver
and forcing him to remain back.
Forbes was driving a truck and was
necessarily driving at low rate OF
speed. The other car driver, DE-.
Campbell, also of Harris, swore out
information against Forbes, and the
Judge fined him $500 and costs.
Serious accidents have occurred
through failure of one driver to give
another the right-of-way when the
latter wished to drive faster. "Hog-
ging the road" should not be toler-
ated, and the sooner the "road hogs
are punished, the sooner will this
menace be done away with. 1t is an
easv matter for the car in the rear to
take the number of the road hogs
machine.-Wilmont Tribune.

Attentions!

We Americans say we believe In
majority rule.
But we are not practicing what we
so loudly proclaim.
The mighty weapon of the ballot is
placed in our hands-which if used
well, gives us majority rule.
But we are not using it.
Listen to this:
In each national election since 1896
the proportion of voters has dwindled.
In 1896, 80 per cent of those qualifi
ed to vote did vote; in 1900, 70 per
cent; in 1908, &c per cent; in 1920,
less than so per cent. Four years
ago 54,421 1892 Americans could have
voted but only 26,786,753 did so.
What is the result already-and
what will be a still worse result if
this descending curve of American
democracy continues?
Inscriptions politicians even now
get what they want by herding
punches of unthinking voters to the
polls.
Blocks and gangs and all sorts of
noisy and dangerous minorities will

if we do not wake up and vote be-
fore it is too late.
OF course we differ in politics-that
is well. 1t is not well to let an cleo
ton go by default by only one-half Of
all the voters doing their clearly de-
fined duty-rain or shine.
Let every one of US vote-no parlol
patriots for us!
The following verses are illuminat
ing:
You say that the taxes are too high,
But do you vote?
About extravaganza you sigh,
But do you vote?
"How long," you wall, "must we en-
dure
This state of things that keeps u
poor ?"
But do you vote?
The lights are bad, the streets mess
But do you vote?
Your indignation you express,
But do you vote?
You say that bosses rule the show,
That graft is reaching high and low,

Redwood Co. Has

Redwood County has a Bee Asso-

The work now nearing completion

long the language endures. 1t covers

SUICIDE IN COUNTY JAIL

George w. Reinbold, aged forty
nine years, whose home was near
Linnville, was arrested Thursday Of
last week on charge of maliciously
destroying fences and harness and
committing other unlawful acts on
the farm of Ed. Lawyer, near Linn
vile, brought to Newark and placed
in the county Jail. Early Saturday
morning his lifeless body was discov-
cred hanging by a towel from the
bars of his cell.
The prisoner was in good spirits on
Friday, and engaged an attorney to
defend him at his approaching trial
He was well supplied with money,
having upwards of $500 on his per-
son, while cash and. certificates of de-
posit amounting to upwards of $4,000
were found in a trunk at his house
when the place was searched.
The funeral was held at Zion
church at ten o'clock Monday morn
ing and burial made in the near by
cemetery.
