It ia thought probable that by now

been turned in to those in charge, but
it is hoped that the total OF cash con-
tributions from friends of Sibley will
make the coming event the most
profitable on record. The fact that this
hospital receives no Government ap-
preparation, holds no entertainments
and sells no tickets to further its work
should be borne in mind, according to
those in charge. Annual memberships
and linen shower contributions are the
only avenues through which the gulld
furthers it's work. Checks may be sent
simply to the Woman's Guild, Slpley

OratOrical Contests

The 1927 contests sponsored by the New York
Times and declared of inestimable value in pro-
noting interest in secondary schools in public
speaking and basic American principles, are now
under way and promise to make an even finer record
this year than last in the building up of finer
morale among American commonwealth.
Under the plan developed by the Times each
region conducts contests until there winner from
each section. Then these 81 winners compete in
national tournament for final honors. The value
OF the plan may easily be seen in the requirements,
which are that the Grafton must be the original work
of the student, the delivery not to consume more
than ten minutes and the treatment of the subjects
must combine historical background with applica-
tion to conditions of today. The Grafton is judged
fifty per cent for content and fifty per cent for de-
livery Wide latitude is given in the choice of sub
ject matter as long as the orations deal with the
constitution and meet other general requirements.
The contest not only has regional and national
scope, but also has international application for
last fall representatives Of various countries fought
y out for the international title This year it is
anticipated that there will be even keener compe-
titon in every branch of the contest 1t would GER
tainly be hard to imagine way in which a news
paper could be of greater service to it's country than
by sponsoring such competition.

1t was an extremely important decision which was
made by the supreme court in the Nal Dougherty
case wherein he accused Of contempt for fail

committee investigating certain governmental
dals. 1t affrms the right Of the senate commit
tees, when dealing with legislative subject, to
force the attendance Of witnesses just any fed
eral court may force attendance of witnesses, thus
setting at rest moot point that has prevented
many times in the past accurate investigation Of
conditions.
Mr.. Dougherty has furnished the test case In
that he was important but his fades to nsig-
nficance when compared to the major result, the
affirming Of basic point Of United States law.
One result of this decision will of course be big

been adept at this sort of thing and it is inconceiv
able that it will not take advantage of the oppor-
tunty to test its newly affirmed rights. The only
fly in the ointment will be that that the
try knows there is nothing in the way Of having
every investigation complete, it will undoubtedly in
sist that every investigation produce definite
result since there is longer any excuse for any,

Editorial Comment
The Punishment They Do Not Want
(Chicago Tribune)


William N. Coffey, who had a taste, in his leisure
for welfare work, left his wife and children, mar
ried another woman without more ado, killed her
with a ball bat and hammer, having possessed him
self OF her money, dismembered her body, and bur-
led the parts in various graves. After many lies he
finally came to what appears as complete con-
fession of brutality in murder. One thing has been
in dispute, whether he killed the woman in Iowa or
Wisconsin.
II the killing was in Iowa he can be hanged for
It, II it was in Wisconsin he cannot be. He says
he is positive on this point 1t was in Wisconsin
1t was not in Iowa. He comedies that he lied
great deal about other details of his crime before
ne told the TRUTH but the state was Wisconsin. He
knows why he is SO certain it was in Wisconsin
They do not hang murderers in Wisconsin and he
wants the advantage of that break
In some opinion it is wrong for society to take a
life in punishment for murder. There never was
murderer who was not Of this opinion In some
opinion life imprisonment is sufficient punish
ment Every murderer agrees that it is and that
it nearly always is too much. Capital punishment
is the one punishment which killer does not want.
In that respect it makes it's own argument

Student Suicides

The number of student suicides lately is reaching
appalling total. Convinced of the emptiness of
existence they betake themselves to another sphere
that is perhaps emptier. Melancholy overtakes
them in the middle of hard passage of vergil and
they have left and soar away to question the why's
and wherefores of the cosmic universe
To what purpose? None. Every person who
departs from this life before natural causes de-
termine his end, does because he is coward
and because he takes life too seriously.
He is coward because brave man would stick
the tragedy out and the game through. 1t
takes but little courage to kill oneself. 1t takes
more of desperation than courage. One looks ahead
and sees dreary outlook, broods into a melancholy
state and then says, "Well, l might as well die
the future" 1t would take real courage to face
the music. Thus the suicide is primarily a coward
and is certainly poor sport to quit the game just
because he is losing for while
Last of all, the suicide takes life too seriously
Really it is grand comedy of errors. Things, if
they are well ordered, rarely show it. Everything
happens that shouldn't and very few things happen
that should From first to last it is a succession
of comic dilemmas in which the joke is usually on
ycu
If one looks at life too seriously then the impor-
outlandish proportions. This is rarely true. Life
is too much of farce to be taken very seriously
The least real man can do is to 20 through the
game as he finds it with smile on his face and
adventure in his heart,

Chinese NatiOnaliSm

We find many persons talking of Chinese ma
tionalism" as if they talking of some terrible
new disease, of which the whole world might sicken
and die overnight. Just what is so awful to con-
template in millions of Chinese wanting China
70 themselves, does not seem clear Apparently to
some occidental minds it is ungrateful, to say the
least sitter "all we've done for China"
Whist they really mean is "what we've done to
China. with extra-territoriaty and thousand
other ways in which we have forced our so-caed
progress upon people whose civilization antedated
ours by thousands of years We have done some
things of value, chiefly through hospital founda-
lions, but mostly have exploited China from
start to finish. This refers not just to America,
but to the whole white race.
Now the Chinese dragon has aroused from his
sumbers and the Chinese people are asking for their
0wn land to themselves. They want the right to
stand on their own merits free of foreign domino

don't want foreign concessions" on their territory
