AKINGS of another major political fight against Roose

MOST spectacular tussle will
Wl be over auditing Govern
ment expenditures. The Presi-
dents forces have already aban-
doned their original plan to
have a Treasury auditor ap-
pointed by the President. The
compromise now in the bill pro-
poses an auditor general to be
appointed by Congress to make
an audit after the money is
spent. The opposition wants the
auditor to decide whether ex-
penditures are legal before they
are made. This is basically the
present system, but Mr.. Roose-
velt has relieved himself OF the
annoyance of an auditor by neg
lecting to appoint one.
NOTE-Mr. Roosevelt will get

allowed to change the name OF

DUBLISHED senatorial reac-
L ton to the Hungarian debt
settlement suggestion was read
as eagerly at the White House
as anywhere else. 1t confirmed
the position taken by Mr.. Gar

that nothing could be done on
debts until after the next elec-
ton at least.

Chairman Byrnes will not COM

the word has been passed the
Administration will not permit
the inquiry if it can be stopped.
The fact is, however, Senators
Copeland and Bailey may start
an Investigation in their Com
merce Committee without the
$25,OO0 provided in their resolu-
ton.
At any rate, the Byrnes un-

which it will hold Sunday after

Mr.. Erwin, of impeccable charac-
ter, of high standing in his chosen
profession, is a credit to any
organization. 1t is reported that
malcontents, most of whom have
not the standing of Mr.. Erwin or
reputation in st. Paul or the state
are anxious to unseat him for rea-
sons beyond the imagination of
those who are familiar with politi-
cal conditions.
1t is predicted that if they are
successful it will be the end of an
organization which is just begin
ming to function for the best inter
ests of the Negro members and
supporters of the Farmer-Labol
movement.
1t is not thought that majority
of the enrolled and paid-up mem

move to wreck the organization
and it is believed that this ma
jority by the time of the election
will realize what is going on ant
that Mr.. Erwin will be reelected.

n L. Mlddlebrook, comptroller,
"Our class rooms are freely open
to any qualified students who con-
form to the purpose and procedures
of an institution of higher learning.
The same policy applies to our
other facilities"
AS a result of a very unhealthy
stencil which had been raised on
the campus this quarter when a
colored girl attempted to gain ad-
mittance to one of the University
cooperative cottages and vote by
the girls in the eight cooperative
cottages was so to "A against ad-
uniting her, The Daily editor re-
quested a Qualification of the ad-
ministration's policy as to whether
or not Negroes are permitted to
room in University controlled
houses and dormitories. Disgust
with the emotional appeal and lack
of the rational element in the let
tiers appearing both pro and con in
the Daily's column on student
opinion on the matter prompted the
editor to send the request to the
administration.
In a letter addressed to The
Daily editor, Jay Richter, and max
ing the requested Qualification of
the administrative policy on the
matter, Dean Ford makes a very
significant statement, to-wit:
(quote) 81 enclose a copy of what
the university files show to be the
only statement on the matter. 1t
dean Ford's letter to Middlebrook
dated December goth, 1887 may be
accepted as the University policy
until the Regents take other and
contrary action and that 1 do not
anticipate"
Further on he makes a statement
which typifies the splendid person
that Dean Ford has proven him
self to be:
There is a place for consecrated
intolerance of mems ignorance and
moral wantonness for they are cur
able by mems own wills. There is
no place for intolerance based on
the things about them that they
cannot change by any act of their
own"
The above quoted statement re-
ceives added significance upon re-
flecting on the antagonistic and
biased attitude evidenced by Presi-
dent Coffman throughout this long
fight.
Significant, too, is the irretriev-
able injustice and humiliation suf-
tered unnecessarily by the colored
girl who on January 18th (more
than three weeks after Dean Ford
had stated the policy of the Uni
versity in a letter to Middlebrook)
sought admission to a cooperative
cottage, the disposition of the re-
quest being placed in the vote tax
en- by the girls living in the cot
tages. Since this is not accustomed
procedure with others and since the
policy had been laid down, the en-
tire blame for this unfortunate ex-
perience rests on Comptroller
Middlebrook who failed to inform
the various housing administrators
of Dean Ford's message.
An editorial by the editor of The
Daily, appearing in the Wednesday
issue, raises the question: Why was
a Negro girl refused admission to
a cooperative cottage on January
IL? and blamed the administration
for the present irritation about the
coop cottage case. The view pre-
scented is that there was no occa-
sion for such refusal with the ex-

Healthy Mind
Will Preserve
FdCidl Beauty
By PATRICIA LINDSAY
q Bell Syndicate. Service

Il HEALTHY, clear thinking, en-
a ergetic mind is not only the
nucleus of beauty but it is the nu-
cleus of radiant happy life
Had | space to quote famous au-
thorities I could convince you that
destructive thoughts, or an undisci-
plined mind, can rob a woman of
her health and destroy her hap
piness.
AS you think, your face and eyes
express your thoughts. Catch a
glimpse of yourself in mirror as
you converse with a friend. Notice
how your eyes sparkle and your
lips turn upward when you speak
gaily. See how quickly a frown
appears and your eyes dim when
you talk of sorrow or feel sad.
Your lips narrow and your eyes
partly close when you give vent to
anger or gossip maliciously. Would
you have believed it?
Do you know that every unworthy
thought registers on your face?
Haven't you seen women whose
countenances reveal their habitual
thoughts of malice, selfshness, jeal-
ousy? Of course you have. Over
indulgence of miserable traits have
robbed them of their beauty and
happiness.
