New Freedom VS. New NationaIism.
The campaign of 1912 resolved
itself into a fight between two
factions-the New Freedom crowd,
headed by Wilson and the New
Rationalists with Roosevelt, the
Progressive, as the chief exhorter.
President Taft, the nominee Of the
Republican party, set his face hard
against both groups.
The creed Of the New National

set forth in a speech at Owawato-

THE COLLEGE RECORD
(Des Moines Tribune News)

1t has been pointed out tlat our
be as bad as ii has been paint
ed ri the Poll Of the senior class at
Harvard is any standard. Forty
two per cent Of the students in
that class have never indul Eed in
Intoxicating liquors. If one were
to believe the college life fiction
that has been written in recent
years, it would be plain that there
Is not student in any college who
has not become an habitual drunk
ard.
But that was prepOsterOus on
the face OF it. IN the days when
liquor was easily obtained, when
it was available in any saloon, col
lcge men did not generally take to
it, although no doubt there was
some indulgence in it. But at that
time, before prohibition was seri-
ously considered except Gjy few,
the law and the authorities kept
liquor from college communities.
There was hardly college town
that did rot forbid saloons within
considerable distances Of such in
s,itutions. And col eyes have
never permitted general blinking
among their students; in fact many
schools never countenancei ii at
all.
SO prohibition fer college stu
dents is nothing new, and even if
conditions were bad could not be
blamed for them. But it is just as
we'll to see from this Harvard sur
vey. and others no DOUBT would
show much the same results, that

Even if some have concealed the

ADVENTURE OF

BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

Il want you to go to Twelve Toes,

beautiful balloon in the world" said
the Sour-Old-W oman to the Twins.

the earth it bounced four times and
they say that everywhere it touched
there is pot of gold The fourth
bounce took it to the house of
Twelve Toes, the Sorcerer, and he
guards it like dragon. If you can
get it for me, / shall give you the
key you are seeking-the key to the
secret cupboard in Pixie Cave"
"We'll go right now" said Nick.
"Come along, Nancy"
There are three things you must
watch out for" said the Sour-Ol
Woman, "even if you do get the
balloon. Old Twelve Toes won't let
you get far without putting some
thing in your way-thorns, fire and
wind most likely. All three are enc
mics of balloon, and you will have
to carry it very carefully"
I'VE will--we'll be careful" said
Nick. Come on, Nancy. Hurry up
or Well never get there"
The Sour-Old-Woman showed them
the path and off they ran.

said she, but your magic shoes will
help you"
The Twins came first to the Glass
Mountain, which was so smooth and
so slippery that no mortal had ever
been known TO cross it. But they
went over as easily as you can cross
the street.
The second mountain was made of
chocolate; no one before had dared
to attempt its dangers. But, al
though the Twins sank up to their
knees, they got safely out each time.
and were soon on the other side. =
The Rubber Mountain tried to
bounce them off, but the magic shoes
stuck on.
The Steel Mountain tried to cook
them, as it was as hot as a stove,
but the shoes moved so quickly they
scarcely touched it.
