Willie Ritola, at the Drake relay
carnival.
Quist denied all charges by Wilson,
who is director of athletics at Drake
University.
He denied that he had several in
terviews with Wilson regarding ex-
pense money for Nurmi and Ritola.
Il met Wilson only once in Chicago
on April 49," he said, ''and on that oc-
cas1on the expenses of Nurmi and
Ritola positively were not discussed
| between US"
Quist expressed the opinion that the
whole controversy grew out of Quist' s
failure to have Nurmi's Los Angeles
Coliseum date changed so as to per-
NIT him to appear in the relay car
nival at Des Moines tomorrow.
AS to Nurmi's expense money re-
ceipts, Quist said, the Finn was being
paid 81 day through the New York
office of the A. A. L. to cover expenses
not otherwise taken care of.
With Nurmi and Quist when they
arrived here yesterday were Ritola,
Willie Plant, American walking cham
pion; Mrs. Plant and Lloyd Hahn,
former Nebraska miller. Ritola pro-
Ceeded to San Francisco.
Nurmi will appear here tomorrow
under the auspices of the Rainbow
Division Veterans. Plant and Hahn
will participate.
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.
NEW YORK, April 24-Whether
or not the management of the Nurmi-
Ritola firm, which is now touring the
country, demanded exorbitant ex-
penses for appearing at the ap-
preaching Drake relays has resolved
itself into a question of veracity as
between Hugo Quist, who is conduct
ing the two Firms about the country,
and Kenneth l.. Wilson, director of
athletics at Drake University
Wilson makes one definite state
ment and Quist denies it. Thereupon,
when advised of the denial, Wilson
reaff1rms his statement.
Frederick W. Ruben, secretary of
the A. A. u, pending an investiga-
ton which he says he will make,
states that he does not believe there
is any truth in the statements. He
characterized the charge of Mr.. Will
son as a publicity stunt"
Now, Wilson has never struck the
writer as given to such expedients
and perhaps it would be better were
Ruben, who is to act as judge in
this matter, withhold opinion until
he has all the facts in hand.
1t is to be hoped that examination
of the charges will result in the estab-
lfshment of a general misunderstand-
ing and admissions to this effect from
the Middle Western College author
tiles.
For Nurmi and Ritola have con-
tributed much to the development of
track enthusiasm in this country,
have in fact given an impetus to dis
tance running which is bound to show
extraordinary effects so far as this
country is concerned in the next
Olympics.
On te other hand, if there is any
truth in the rumors one hears every
season concerning the latitude allow
ed track athletes in their expenses, it
might as well be uncovered now as
any time.

Although the season is still too early
to make predictions regarding the
Poughkeepsie regatta, according to
Coach H. E. Vail, there is no question
that the seasons crew will not be as
seasoned and experienced as that of
last year.
Only three men of last years eight
are back. Places of those who were
lost by graduation will have 10 be filed
by men who have had one year, or, in
some cases, two years, of rowing prac-
tice and little racing experience. Some
good material was developed in last
years freshman crew, however.
One problem facing Vail is the de-
velopment of a man for the stroke
position. Bentson, one Of last years
regulars, is being drilled daily for the
vacancy.

In the half-mile relay Georgetown

freshman mile event the team is to
start from eighth place and in the
one-mile race for the college relay
championship of America the Hilltop
pers are due to have their first man
get down on his mark eleventh from
the pole, real handicap.
Maryland, entered in two races,
starts sixth from the pole in one and
seventh in the other. In the event in
which it is seventh from the pole, the
Old Liners are due to face Navy, Holy
Cross, Ohio State, Virginia, Pitts
burgh, Columbia and City College of
Detroit.
Catholic University, which runs in
the same race tomorrow with George
Washington, has fourth place from
the pole. Other teams in the race are
Western Maryland Savage School,
Randolph Macon, Boston University,
st. Johns of Annapolis, Manhattan
and Loyola. Incidentally it seems
that the Hatchetites have an excellent
chance to win in this event.
One event Georgetown generally is
being picked to win is the two-mile
race. 1t seems that no other college
is being given more than an outside
chance with the Blue and Gray, de-
spite the caliber of the other entrants

Common Sense From Coolidge

Navy iingoes who have been especially VOcifer0ls
and aggressive in recent months, given q deserved
rebuke by President Coolidge in addressing the Annapolis
graduating class.
The jingoes have created the worst kind of an impress
sion in the of the world by loudly bowling tor big
increases the navy the ground that the United State
rnged by hostile nations ready to jump in at the slight
est pretex and snatch all the tail feathers from the Amer
lean eagle Others have gorified and declared that
nations that do not fight at the drop Of the hat are utterly
worthless The net result of their fuminatiOns has been
to spread the idea abroad that Uncle Sam is somewhat
scared but exceedingly rcuen individual who is getting
ready to wear suit of armor day and night.
Into this atmosphere of hysteria and sWashbucklng,
Coolidge dropped few calm words that are worthy
the consideration of every citizen
81 want the navy when it attempts to deal with our
people with the peoples of the EARTH he said TO
remember that the dominant traits of mankind truth
and justice and righteousness and that the appeal to
son must ultimately prevail"
Declaring that there time when 1t was
less likely that any other nation combination of
tions would could make attack U.s. that both by
necessity and choice the whole world is against and
has given incompatible hostages to peace the President
advised the new officers of the navy against asserting
that other specified powers arming against u.s. and
by arOusng national hatred and suspicion attempting to
cause us to arm against them"
In concluding, the President said that while he be-
leved in adequate military preparation that not
sufficient alone to maintain peace.
81 do not believe the American navy succeed if il
represents mere naked force" he said
81 want to see it represent much more than that We

the matter seriously in hand, and we
are assured that as far as the two

will be nothing lacking in the way of

Business places will of course, with
the exception of very small remnant
of the open" shoppers, extend a
hand of welcome to the representa-
tives of those who have, through their
efforts brought forth prosperity. They
will be co-hosts with the local labor

In Tennessee where there is a law
which forbids the teaching of eyolu-
ton in the public schools there is a
commissioner of schools who does
much to maintain the tradition Of
American education in spite of the
ldiotic law passed by a bigoted and
benighted Legislature and signed by
an equally bigoted Governor.
After a local minister of the town
had presented to a Chattanooga gram
mar school a Bible and a flag, this
commissioner Fred b. Frazier. made
the following response:
Doctor, you have just said you
hoped nobody would be allowed To
teach this Bible in the public schools
except those who believe every word
of it and those who stand for 100 per
| cent Americanism. | want to call your
attention to the fact that when this
lag was born y y Amecira invited
the oppressed peoples of every
country to this land of freedom. We
promised them religious and political
| liberty. We held out to them the
privilege of worshipping God accord
ing to the dictates Of their own con
sciences. Real Amerieanism has not
changed in those particulars. We now
admit to our public schools =
Catholic, jew and Gentle
They are all Americans"
| Tennessee is not all benigh.e ed.
While one remains to keep alight ana
aloft the torch of freedom, justice and
tolerance there is hope FOR human
progress.
After three men had been electro
cuted in Sing Sings famous old deat II
chair the leading States witness con
fessed that he had lied on the witness
stand.
SO three men were killed by the
State of New York on periured evi-
dnce. The State can not bring these
men back to life.
Perhaps the horror of this slaughter
of men very likely innocent is not as
great as would have been the case be
fore humankind got more or less used
to killing and condoning killing.
The people of New York State have
killed three men who were sent to the
chair by cowardly liar. Capital
punlshmnt once more stands CON
demned as a barbarous, fendish in
stitution that does not belong in civ
ilized society--if we have such a thing
The law of the Jungle is not a fit
law for organized society. An eye for
an eye i'll BELTS a society that can
restrain iresponsibles and criminals
without slaughter.
The argument against capital pun
ishment is scarcely less forceful be-
cause of the execution of three men
of whose guilt there is grave doubt
than it was before that tragic event
The real argument, made more point
ed and emphatic by the New York
outrage, is that the State should not
have the power to take any life as
punishment for any crime.
1t is NOT punishment and criminol-
ogy has long since proven that it is
| NOT a deterrent If it is neither of
those things it becomes sheer slaugh-
tr. Are we not past the stage Of
human development when we mus
have our Roman holidays?

CONVENTION

Unless something unforeseen hap.
pens between now and the fofepart Of
September, the annual convention OF
the Illinois Federation of Labor will
be held in the Twin Cities.
This convention means much to
Champaign and Urbana; it means
more to the University Of Illinois, and
it means most to local organized
labor. So, it would seem that all con-
cerned should put forth their best
efforts to see to it that favorable inn
preston of this community is carried
away by the delegates and visitors
about 1900 of whom will be here foi
week or more.
We are particularly interested in
the part the University will play in
entertaining the delegates. We have
not heard that the University contem.
plates doing anything. But it will
miss a wonderful opportunity if il
does not put forth some comprehen.
sive effort to enlighten the visitors as
to just what the University is intend.
ed for and what it is doing for the
youth Of the State of Illinois. We be
lieve it should put forth a specia
effort to interest these delegates from
over 100 communities and over sc
distinct lines Of endeavor in what thf
institution has to offer the sons and
daughters of organized labor.
Organized labor has played no little
part in the affairs of the University OF
Illinois during the past few years
and we might say within the past few
days. 1t believes in the University;
but there are those who still believe
a university is a rich mans institu.
ton and has nothing to offer to the
sons Of toll.
Acquaint the delegates with tn,
University. They will report back Il
a thousand labor organizations what
a wonderful thing it is-and ther
there will be no doubt as to its future
growth-and no more worry as to
whether the appropriation will be
voted in its entirety

The unionsts, we know, will do all
in their power to make their guests
feel at home, and to have a good time.
The delegates are going to expect il.
They have heard for four years of
how the local Federation of Labor
licked the open" shoppers through
publicity, and they expect to find a
finely cemented labor body in the Twin
Cities. All local unions will have
delegates from their craft in other
places. They will expect to find their
brother craftsmen in the thick of the
activities, and they will be sadly dis
appointed if they come here and find
no fraternal welcome. The conven-
ton committee we understand, has
matters well in hand, and aside from
few wrinkles to be ironed out, have
plans pretty well mapped out for the
most successful conventions ever held
in the state. But aside from this, ii
is the duty of each union to take per-
sonal charge of visitors of their craft
and see to it that no dull moments
occur.
We feel confident there will be no
cause for complaint.

sustenance of life will equal and
buy the product of one hours
work in other fields. Then the
farmers problems will automati-
cally solve themselves. There is
really no other way than the two
indicated out Of the dilemma.
Increasing the tariff on farm
products will never cure the ills.
The farmer is producing more
food than can be consumed in
this country; the surplus must be
exported and sold on the world
market in competition with coun-
tries having lower standard of
living. The world price level will
be the price level also in this
country in spite of however high
tariff is put on, so as long as
we are an exporting nation, tar
iff legislation in favor of the
farmer will be ineffective. If
such a thing as limiting produc-
tion was possible, as we are ad-
vised to do by our friends in
Washington, the desired effect
might be attained; but wonder
whether or not these people
that advise us so, know what
they are talking about. If the
farmer, when putting in his crop
in the spring of the year, was
able to figure out, each for him
self, how large a part of the
worlds food he should produce
and then just put in that part, or
a little less in order to insure
good prices in the fall, and some
thing happened to the crop, a
draught, hot winds, too much
rain or one of the other hundreds
of things that may set in and in
jure the crop during the summer

time, where would the consumer
be? He might be compelled to
go without food for a year or So
The farmer has never tried to
cut down production of which we
may be glad; don't teach him
such things; if he ever learns it,
we are all apt to be sorry of the
fact. Let him produce all he can,
the world needs it if not in these
United States then somewhere
else. What we should try to do
is to find a way that the surplus
can be transported to where it
is needed in so economical a way
that no one need go hungry.
