States, Rights

In the old Colonial Capital Of Virginia, where $50
years ago the first demand was voiced for Amer
lean independence, President Coolidge has called
upon the states Of the union assert their rights
and so function that there may be contraction of
the ramifications of the Federal government rather
than an extension Mr.. Coolidge contrasted the
concepts of government formulated in those early
days with present day practices and asserted that
the states surrendering their powers to the Fed
eral government by sleeping on their rights"
This is too apparent to permit Of argument: either
through Indifference or Incidence, the states have
shifted their responsibilities upon the nation. Which
might be all very well, if, with the responsibilities,
they had not also shifted their rights.
We need political rcbrth and quickcning of
the public conscience, realization of civic duty and
a willingness to assume its burdens and response
biltics We need to shake off the political ethargy
that saps our vitality and look to running our local
affairs and retaining local rights for the state
may survive without the nation, but not the nation
without the state.

The New Dry Rulinp

1t will be very interesting to follow the expert
ences OF various states in trying out the new booze
ruling by President Coolidge which empowers the
appointment of state officers as Federal prohibition
officers. California will likely be the first place
that the idea will be tried out, but meanwhile the
ruling itself has caused vertable spasm through
out the country. 1t has created violent discussion,
with opinion being either definitely for or definitely
against the plan which put into effect by Pres
dent Coolidge on the suggestion of Colonel Lincoln
C. Andrews, in charge of prohibition enforcement
The scheme would call into the enforcement serv-
ice all state, county and municipal officers those

tnelr regular pay. The plan is under a grand bar
rage OF dlsapproval. the vets being afraid that it
really will make prohibition effective Aligned with
the vets are those who believe that the president has
no right to promulgate such ruling
The first thing to be decided is whether il really
is a legal ruling After that we can approach the
question as to it's appropriateness or its effective
ness On the latter point there will be nothing as
conclusive as trial and error procedure such as is
about to be staged in California

Honor System Failure?

Miss Gertrude Dowcl, Secretary Of the Student
Council of the State Normal School at Towson, Md,
says that the honor system in schools fails because
"thc students refuse to take upon themselves the
responsibility Of reporting violations Of the laws
set down by student government"
It seems only fair to call attention to the fact
that for countless generations "tattling," tale
bearing, has been considered heinous offense un-
der all ethical codes and the punishment Of the in
former has been swift, sure, and ranging through
the gamut from unpleasant to fatal. The honor
system, therefore, whose success depends upon the
to inform the recognized authority of
violations by fellow students, is doomed to failure;
not because thc students refuse to take upon them
selves the responsibility Of reporting Violations,
ting, the latter to thcm being a violation Of the
first
In ordinary civil life the same difficulty is
pcrienccd by the authorities in receiving reports Of
violations Of the law. Theoretically the citizen is
supposed to report violations to the police--but
they never do, considering, doubt that it would
be an ex hibtiOn OF smallness Of character. So it
is Il mistake to require students TO inform against
their fellows it is greater mistake to ask it in the
name of honor, for that goes against instinct Any
breaking down Of voluntary. adherence to the un-
written laws Of honorable behavior can be nothing
short Of disastrous. An honor system that employs
this means of enforcing obedience to its laws, not
only defeats its own ends, but weakcns the moral
fibre of society.

Memorial 1)ay

In Flanders fields the peoples grow between the
crosses, row row
And in countless green hillsides of America today,
roses and peones, hawthorn and lily, are wind
blown as they mantle the graves Of dcad-thc
graves Of our soldier dead and the graves Of our
civilian dcad--just those we loved little while
and lost.
"ln Flanders fields the poppics blow
Between the crosses, row,
That mark our place, and in the sky
The larks still bravey singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below"
Strangely enough, the least known of any line in
this best known Of all Memorial Day pocms is the
line of hope buried therein
"The larks, still bravely singing, fly"
Not Death itself still Life, says the poem.
Not even green graves where sleep those loved
by us who bear them blossoms of memory can
choke the singing something within each and every

abundant.
The dead would wish it So Memories and love
for them, yes, Blossoms abloom in the heart for

graves this Memorial Day. But dirgc. No cloud

The Twins and the Whiffct left the
foolish Totem Pole and continued
on their way TO find the little Whit

Pretty soon they met man who
said his name was Mister Apple

Mister Applcduster said it was a

alligators would soon be in bloom,
and spoke Of how terribly expensive
sea-saws were getting and went on to
remark that If fire-engines didn't

The Polish situation is fraught with grave dangers

wnoie Polish nation is united in approval of Pilsud

Poland were included in the jurisdictions of other

hnd Austrian Poland. The difference in these Sec
lions is not only one Of custom, but also one Of
language Other elements comprising the body

which may result from the existence of the MILL
the plant should be closed. The early months of

Interest charges will run against the institution

ton will probably be greater with the plant idle
than with it in operation. If the years business
shows an operating profit, the state is saving
money by having the plant operated, because the
profits from operation will offset some part of thu

II the mill were TO be closed the taxpayers of the
