Ziegfeld.
In other lands it is not SO. When
demonstrations were to be made
against public tyranny of one sort
or another, it was the students who
led and carried on the protests.
Elsewhere the young men and the
young women have realized that
they had a distinct stake in the
world in which they lived, and they
have made their needs and their
desires vocal.
It seems to me that college
paper ought to be more than a bull
letin in which to print the time and
place of the next meeting of the
French society. The Spectator I'M

The issue Of free speech has been
distinctly raised by the editors ex-
pulsion. Not all the deans denials
can make it otherwise, for, after all
free speech must mean the right to
print that which is annoying and
provocative and discourteous. Nc
free speech problem ever arises at
long as you print what the other
fellow wants to hear.
The deans supporters are rather
more frank than the official himself.
For instance, I have letter from
Columbia Undergraduate" which
seems to me to state the issues fair

paired by the fact that few husky
fellows are allowed to enter who

IF Reed Harris really wanted to
rid Columbia of this canker why did
he not work up an honest digust
against the situation among the
student body, instead of rushing
into print with the ugly facts like
small boy who loves to repeat the
dirty words he has heard in the
street?

Criminal CuSSedneSS

THE question is not what each
4 and every one Of us might
want to do under similar circum-
stances. 1t goes without saying that
the normal father would give any
thing, promise anything, try any
thing, to get his child back. But
such an attitude is not to be trusted.
It is too emotional. It takes little
account of public interest, or prac-
teal possibilities.
Human nature operates on both
sides of kidnapping case. The fine
gestures of parental instinct are
more than offset by criminal cussed-
ness. The crook who steals child
and holds it for ransom will not
scruple to take the ransom without
returning the child.

FIying Tackle at Trig

IF education is to be gained only
i by slice off tackle, it may be
that when next the Columbia

will be all but drowned by the
clanking Of the Phi Beta Kappa

For good many years it has been
a standing reproach in the face Of
the average undergraduate that his
interests lay only in touchdowns and
dropkicks. He has manifested not

away this vital function of the peoples branch Of the
government, there is little danger that congress as
whole will agree thus to abdicate its powers II it did
it would be taking specific step away from democ-
racy and toward Fascsm
1t is much more reassuring to regard the COM
mittee proposals that various government bureaus
which spend their time performing definite and val
liable service for private business concerns shall collect
fees hereafter for those services This is sound public
policy and Will result in quick determination as to
which of these services should be retained and which
discontinued
But nowhere in the economy program, as thus far
drawn is there mention of savings to be effected in
the three largest classes of government expenditure
where savings would be welcomed most heartily by
the people.
There is word in this program about cutting the
$700000OOO annual expenditure for war and navy de-
partments though the military branch of government
is eating up every year, between fifth and sixth
of our governmental budget.
Nor has any consideration been given to changing
liquor control from $45,O00000 annual liability to an
asset that instantly would end our worry over new
taxes
Many members of congress point out that it would
not be necessary to consider cutting salaries of federal
civilian employees and to eopardize humanitarian and
scientific services of the government if the army and
navy could be cut
The same is true of prohibition enforcement. The
civilian services under the White House plan would
be made to suffer to save the military and the
dry agents
According to the house committee, the President
refused even to discuss its plan to millions by
consolidating the war and navy departments
Nor does the White House conference plan in
cI1Ida
airplane industries, to which we hand about $50,
100000 yearly in addition to low interest rate loans
and other aids in the form of costly free research
work.
If congress and the President were able to see
these matters as majority of the voters see them
there would be no agonzing search for little econ
omieS here and there, no threat against valuable
governmental agencies facing starvation
valuable start has been made toward needed
economies but the present program could be, and
should be, improved.

THE strike at Columbia univer-

TINE strike at Columbia univer-
i sity ought to be treasured in
traditions of the university far
above any victory on the river OIL
the gridiron. 1t marked one of
the very few occasions in American
college life where a group of un-
der graduates had the gumption to
behave like reasonable human be-
ings.
Even a dean can be made to
seem powerless and ridiculous by
the mass action of liberal-minded
students. And certainly the strik-
ers came. away with all the hon.
ors. for the faculty has been placed
in the ludicrous position of having
none but athletes on its side.
For the first time in the history
of American education, football
players were observed fighting to
get into classes. The whole affair
may prove so epoch-making that
from now on the brawny boys will
be ready to die for dear old cal
culuS.

ABSENTEE VOTE
Of DISTRICT To
SWAY STATES
Costello Believes Mailed Bal
lots Will Turn Tide in Some
Close Contests

Computations at headquar-
ters of the District Democratic
Central Committee today
brought the announcement
that a sufficient number of
absentee voters ballots have
been mailed out of Washing
ton within the past few days
possibly to change the cleo
tion results tomorrow in one
or more of the close and
doubtful States.
John F. Costello, Democratic
national committeeman, on fig
ures supplied by the absentee
voters bureau of his organiza-
ton, which is directed by Mrs.
Lester j. Pollock, said that be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 Demo
cratic voters in the National
Capital have sent their ballots
back home.
AGO To West Virginia
West Virginians alone, he dis
closed, have voted by mail to the
number of 4,7O0 and West Vir-
ginia is one State which both
parties are striving desperately to
carry as the campaign closes.
Absentee ballots, altogether,
have gone back to approximately
35 States and the ballots for
Kansas and Rhode Island, under
State laws, will be mailed to-
morrow.
Called Significant
When it is recalled that ma
tlonal elections in the past have
sometimes TURNED on a plurality
of from 1000 to 5000 in a
pivotal State, such as California
in 1915 when Wilson was elected,
the significance of such a high
mail vote is not overlooked by
either party, though the Demo
Gratis still predict a Roosevelt
landslide.
Thus, if the Costello analysis
is correct, it is possible that the
District of Columbia, not allowed
to participate in elections, still
may have enough voters in it's
voteless territory who can play
big role in the final tabula-
tions back in the States.

} VOTE EXPECTED BY PARTIES IN ARLINGTON COUNTY
Here Is How to Mark Your Ballot for President

To vote for President, you vote for the group of
electors who represent the party to which your
favorite nominee belongs.
In Maryland the voter is required to put check
merely in the space opposite his choice for President
and Vice President 1t is not necessary to put
check also opposite the of the electors of the
party he favors. Use only the indeble pencil sup
piled at the voting place. If you make mistake,
ask for a new ballot Do not erase any erroneous
mark. Guard against making any holes in your
ballot. Failure to observe these rules will invalidate
your ballot.
The voting method in Virginia is entirely different
The voter does not put check beside the candidates
he favors Instead, he must draw line through the
names of candidates he opposes.
