Ritchie Is Boomed

I # While the mere fact that Frank R. Kent, noted democratic historian and political writer. places Governor Albert Cabell Rtchie of Maryland at the head of the available demo- <rzfic candidates for the presidential nomina- ion doesn't insure this proponent of states riShts of election. 1t does indicate that he may Wield trifle more power than he has at past Conventions. We agree with Mir Kent that Alfred E. Smith will not be a candidate for fhe presidency in l932. We also think that the chances of overnor Franklin D. Roose- welt of New York are growing simmer every day. Roosevelt has dropped from his former vsunted position as the hope of the demo- cratic party to merely another candidate. Owen D. Young the General Electric mag nate. is doing his best to convince his friends {. that he doesn't want the nomination, but somehow or other they don't seem to believe him. Of course. there are dozen or more hopefuls. but for the preesnt they aren't com X handing much attention. Mir Kent merely devotes his article, which appears by the way. ifl the June Scribner's, to mention of Roose- yeIt, Ritchie. and Owen with MT Ritchie stealing the show as far as the Baltimore Sun writer is concerned Of him Mir Kent says. H1e is able. clean and attractive and in add- ton he is popular among party leaders pri- marily interested in Mir Young. and there exists real Ritchie sentiment in all parts < of the country. -.
 We'll agree with Mir Kent that Governor Ritchie would be an ideal man for the pres- dency. In fact we have mentioned several times that 1852 is probably the last chance he will ever have of securing the nomination. He was candidate in both 1928 and 1924. It's hardly likely that he will remain in the pres- dential limelight as long as l936. And if democratic president other than Ritchie were elected in l932, it would be safe to say that he would be renominated by the party in l936. thus postponing Ritchies debut until l940. That's too far away. It will have to be 1852. or never. for the Maryland gover nor. And we're inclined to think Mir Kent may have the right slant
 We did notice that he refrained from men, tioning Woodrow Wilson's war secretary, Newton D. Baker. Perhaps the oversight was < intentional Perhaps Mir Kent is saving Mir Baker for future article. But certainly Baker looms as the strongest of the so-ealled dark horses. We wouldn't be surprised to find him more than a dark horse at convention time. Put the democratic delegates in mid western city for their convention and it might not De q hard job to stampede them for Mir Baker of Cleveland. Ohio must get its share of recognition as the cradle of presidents. Surely. if it doesn't bring forward the demo- cratic candidate for the presidency. it will for fhe viee-presideney

Good Will Endowment

A million dollars for international good will That is the sum a retired German manufacturer of Reading. Pa. has set aside for the use of American citizens who wish to study in Germany in the fields of public health public welfare. old age insurance. race relations. music, art or kindred subjects. The money is to be distributed over 25 years. and administered by board of trustees of which Jacob Gould Sehurman is honorary president.
 It would be worth much more than mil lion dollars to have international good will permanently established That would mean sympathy between nations and understanding of international problems. It would mean mutual trust absence of desire for aggression or fear of aggression. Probably such oppor- tunities as the Rhodes scholarships, these to be offered in Germany, and number of others which have developed in recent years, are one means toward the desired end. For every student who studies abroad. whole family and circle of friends have their horizons wid ened. their understanding deepened. their good will strengthened.

When Wallace N. Jewett of Hampton de- elared that member of the legislative judi ciary committee was unfit" for a judgeship he probably meant that membership on that body practically disqualified one from hold ing judicial position. At least that opinion has been expressed before and it is one that should mean something to our legislators. We don't think that Representative Jewett was downing as House Leader Johnson inti- mated. In fact. we'll wager he was serious about his statement. Certainly men who are to pass judgment upon the judges of our courts should not pick themselves to offieiate in this role. And that's what happened when Mir Jewett voiced his objection to Represen. tatve Raymond E. Baldwin of Stratford as judge of the town court. Mir Baldwin won in the House by vote of i64 to 70. It isn't the first time that the judiciary committee has been criticized for not going beyond it's own membership for court officials. In fact Mi Johnson tbs republican leader and chairman of the committee, was under considerable crit. ieism earlier in the legislative session for his triple role in ibs state. fIe Is a member ol ihs executive. legislative, and judicial brsnsiass Of ihs government.

 ANNIVERSARY s
DOLLAR BEEF'

On May 21. 1917, beef went to a dollar a pound in Paris. This was the reaction which followed the be- ginning of the regime of two meat less days a week. Vegetables and fish also followed the upward ten- dency.
 The rush for meat supplies to carry consumers over to the next meat day swamped the butchers, al- though they had laid in extra amounts. Crowds stormed the stores from early morning to closing time.
 A great deal of protest was voiced against rich buyers who paid any price the dealers asked, This prac- tice, naturally. sent tho quotations much too high for the modest purse.
 Beef on the hoof at stock yards were also advanced in price. Whole. saIers appeared to take the viow that the new regulations would not ape preeiably reduce consumption.

gram with Southwestern univer-
sity and John Tarletor Agricultural
college as opponents. The Ages

practice for nearly two weeks and
this week are settling down to the
task Of preparing for Saturdays
games in particular.
The Aggies' schedule calls for

against Southwestern, the game
being called at 2 D.. m. Immediate
ly after the first game, the Aggie
Reserve-John Tarleton clash will
begin.

general for the Cadets. Moulden

Ted Spencer. sophomore from
