Mr.. Dean emphasized the Importance of
the controversy from the viewpoint of

wanted to contest the right of any
state to exclude it as foreign corpora

He asserted that every citizen and

These were summarized by Justice
McReynolds, who demanded that Dean
state the grounds for claiming such
right. He replied that every corpora

teed by the federal constitution rights
of free speech, a free press and to con-
duct propaganda.
Chief Justice Taft then interjected
that no corporation had the right to go
into a state without it's permission,
unless engaged in interstate commerce.
Dean, however, contended that the khan
was engaged in such commerce.

OsteOpathic Official
Defends Association

To the Editor of The Star:
Your attention is called to q news
item appearing in the January 10
issue of your paper under the head
ing, "Osteopath and ChiropractOr In
dicted on Manslaughter Charge"
This association, composed of osteO-
pathic physicians from recognized col
leges, with scholastic requirements
practically equal to class A medical
colleges, feels that an injustice is be
ing done our profession If the name of
osteopathy is associated or connected
with the above case in any way. 1t
Is high time that the public be warned
of the conditions here, and this asso-
citation can furnish definite informa-
ton to substantiate our claim that
there are at least 40 so-called osteo-
paths here who have never seen the
inside of an osteopathic college. This
almost unbelievable situation is inter
esting, particularly as it relates to the
treatment of the sick by persons who
are absolutely ignorant of the funda-
mentals of anatomy, physiology, pa
thology, bacteriology or chemistry.
This association will be glad to CO
operate in bringing this matter to the
attention of Congress and the people
of Washington.

When the average person looks at
blank sheet of paper and says to
himself, We'll, now l am going to
write something funny" the resultant
product is too often only absurd.
Humor is not attained so much by
taking thought as by the application
of kind heart to the incongruities
of life.
Where most would be humorous"
writer's fall down is in the lack of the
kind heart, to begin with, and that
certain twist, to end with.
In between comes the fundamental
fault of not distinguishing between
wit and ''humor." Commonly the
two are Jumped together, as In collec-
tons so labeled. familiar to every one.
The Standard Dictionary, however
tells us: "Humor is a facetious turn
of thought; the SpOrtive exercise of
the imagination that delights in
the homogeneous, the ludicrous and the
drOll; distinguished from wit by great
err sympathy, geniality and pleasantly,
and less of Intellectual subtlety and
keen, cold analysis"
Wit, +. p Whipple says in his Lit
erature and Life" is negative, ana
lytical, destructive; humor is crea-
tive" He holds up the biting sar-
casm of Pope's couplets as examples
of the former, the character of Sancho
PanZa as a humorous creation.
Here once again we are informed
that pure intellect, after all. while es-
sentially human, is also inhuman. in
that it is so often used by so many
persons merely to wound.
The biting and rending of teeth and
claws among physical animals Is re-
placed, in the mental life of human

deeper wounds in mental fibers than
do sharp knives in physical tissue.

IF the mind is not tempered by love
and kindness it may become, as it
too often does, a most despicable
thing. Witness the examples of well
educated young men turning without
provocation to deeds ordinarily associ-
ated only with perverted instincts and
diseased brains.
A great source Of mental nastiness
is the desire to secure an approving
laugh from a group at the expense
of an individual.
This is what leads to the witty
rejoinder, which invariably bases it's
anpeal upon some crack" taken at
another.
1t Is curious to watch this mani
festation of human Immature in men
of low and high degree, and see how
vulgar wit, in the former, is replaced
by more refined, but none the less
harmful, wit, in the latter.
There can be no questioning the
aproposness, if one may be forgiven
such term, of much that passes as
| wit"
The point is that so much of it
is utterly uncalled for, and would
never be used by the man or woman
who values the amenities Of life, and
who, therefore, Is more truly civilized
And right here let us speak a word
for civilization. Civilization needs
every voice. There are those decry-
ling civilization, who would plunge the
world back into the slaughterhouse
stages, who speak against humanity
making so much as a single effort to
hold fast to ideals.
They even apologize for Jesus, the
Prince of Peace, and attempt to paint
Him anew for this generation as a
man of war"

we have had on the Board of Educa-

whose children are grown up and

no children. 1t seems to me that
members with growing children of

better understand the needs of our

The Unconfrmed Commissioners

The Presidents nominations for Dis
trict Commissioners, to fill vacancies
occurring during recess of Congress,
have been before the Senate for about
six weeks, having been submitted Inn
mediately upon the converting Of the
present session. For the greater part
of that period the community has been
free, by specific invitation, to make
representations regarding the fitness
Of the nominees. This opportunity
has been ample. Whether advantage
has been taken of it for the presenta-
ton of adverse opinions upon the
qualifications Of the two appointees is
not definitely known, but SO far as
the public is aware no indictment has
been brought against either of the
nominees Now it is announced that
the nominations will very shortly be
reported to the full committee for
action.
Both of these men are now serving
as District Commissioners, having
taken office during the recess of Con-
gress. One of them, indeed, has been
thus acting for nearly six months. 1t
is due to them that their titles to the
offices they are filling to the entire
satisfaction of the community should
be perfected by confirmation, or that
they should, if deemed to be UNI
worthy of appointment, be set aside
by the rejection of their nominations.
The prospect of early action is graft

The temptation to create a laugh
at another's expense, however, was

Wit, on the other hand, is always
personal. Some popularity of ap-

SO the witty" person is universally
feared and privately hated.
The humorous individual Is loved
by every one. He causes no i'll will
because he has none in his own heart
and it is true that we attract what
we give out.
Some peculiarities at first cause the
unthinking to fail to respond to his
geniality, but in the long run the
kindly person, the only truly humor
Gus one, will be appreciated.
The Government service is full oil
such men. Their dry humor, as il
is called, is invariably gentle, ever

humorists never deal in innuendo
which stabs at the heart. and which
would never be permitted if it were

Emmett ]. Scott Says Howard
University Is Glass A.
To the Editor of The Star

To the Editor of The Star
In his interview published in The
Evening Star. Thursday, January 20,
1927, DR.. George 3. Woods, dean of
the American University, referring TO
educational conditions in the District
of Columbia. pointed out that at pres
ent only one institution in the Dis
trict actually is rated as a class A uni
versity, according to the listing OF
the University of Illinois" He states
that Howard University is listed by
the University of Illinois as class Is
institution.
Permit me to say that Bulletin No.
10 of the United States Bureau OF Edu-
cation Department of the Interior,
page 13, publishes the list of colleges
of arts and sciences accredited by the
Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools of the Middle States and Mary
land, which is the regional association
accrediting colleges and universities IN
this section, just as the North Centrai
Association of Colleges and Secondary
Schools accredits the University of
Illinois and other colleges in the North
Central region.
The Howard University rating is on
a par in this particular section OF the
country with such institutions as the
University of Maryland. Princeton
University, Colgate University, the
College of the City of New York. Co
lumbia University, Cornell University,
Hamilton College, Syracuse Univer-
sity, Pennsylvania State College,
Swarthmore College. Washington and
Jefferson College, the University of
Pennsylvania, the University of Pitts
burgh, etc, etc.
There are regional associations for
other sections of the country, includ-
ing the Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools of the Southern
States, the New England Association
of Colleges and Secondary Schools and
the North Central Association Of Col
Ieges and Secondary Schools, to which
| have already referred.
/ call attention to this fact so that
the listing of Howard University as an
accredited institution by the Associa-
ton of Colleges and Secondary Schools
of the Middle States and Maryland
may not be subordinated to the rating
of an institution far removed from
the regional section which has accred-
tied Howard along with the important
institutions above referred to.
