CAMPUS COMMENT

Laying of bricks for the new
Bluffton college works project build
ing will be completed early next
week, Prof. Jesse Loganbill, project
supervisor, announced last Saturday.
Work will be started Immediately on
interior construction. If work is
kept on schedule the structure will
be completed by Sept. /.
Enrolment prospects for the COM
ing year are unusually promising,
according to Field Secretary Ralph
Blosser. At present field solicitation
is being conducted in Eastern Ohio.

umnists and radio commentators. On
the East and West coast where the
ties to other lands are greater, there
is widespread support even among
conservative Republicans for an inter-
ventionist policy. Great pressure was
exerted by the President in this ses-
sion to repeal the arms embargo and
greater pressure viii be exerted next
January in what promises to be the
bitterest debates since the League of
Nations fiasco in the early twenties.
As for third term, the soundest
advice have gotten points in the fol-
lowing directions:
ID Roosevelt is withholding an
announcement one way or another in
order to control the Democratic con-
vention in 1910.
(2) If it appears that the conven-
tion will not nominate a liberal New
Dealer, Roosevelt will very likely run
for a third term.
(3) If there is threat of war he
will, without fail, run on crusading
platform similar to Wilson's in 1916.
People Make Decision
Above all this comment and specu-
lation stands one truly wonderful
fact which characterizes American
politics: the final decisions are in the
hands of the people. If neutrality is
changed next January it will be be-
cause people back home want it
changed. If Roosevelt runs for a
third term it will be because he be-
lieves that the people will elect him
to a third term.
The cards, I believe, are not stack
ed. | marveled at the constant inter
est of all members Of Congress in
public opinion back home. They read
every letter which comes to them;
read all the paper in the district or
state; ask all visitors about the think
ing back home. Indeed, this is the
democratic process.
Consequently, the decision on neu-
trality and other basic issues will not
be known until next year. Then the
people will speak and save for minor
refractions of partisan politics the
final decision will substantially be
what the majority of John P. Citizens
desire.
To some this may sound like roman
ticsm, but /, as young American, am
now thoroughly convinced that our
government is just about exactly what
we make it. The promise of Ameri-
can politics is the firm desire of more
and more common, garden-variety cit
izens to make their government bet
ter. One thing, am sure,, cannot
be tolerated, namely, lethargy and in
difference. Everyone must partici.
pate in the uphill but potentially sue
cessful battle to make democracy
work in the last remaining outpost OF
that system.

gorically that here is the most beau

London is old and dirty-typical of
an ancient seat of government; Paris
is more beautiful but lacks the per-

are packed in the center of the city;

One year August oath since that
sad day,
Husband, and Father we loved, was

God took him home, it was his will,
But in our hearts he liveth still.
His kind face and patient smile
With sadness we recall,
He had kindly word for each,
And left US beloved by all.

Glen w. Collins Of Denver, presi-
dent Of the American Institute Of
Accountants, in an address last
night before the District Of Co.
lumbia Institute Of Certified Public
Accountants at the Hay Adams

Government, Mr.. Collins contend
ed, should revise tax laws by dis
carding the undistributed profits tax
and permitting deduction Of all cap
ital losses, appoint q nonpartisan
commission to determine q perma-
nent policy Of Federal taxation,
amend the Social Security Act to
limit pay roll taxes to the present 2
per cent, give employers equal rights
with employees in labor disputes, and
stop extension Of governmental con-
troll over business.
Business, he maintained, should
allow stockholders . part In selec-
ton Of independent auditors, ap-
point auditors ut the beginning

stop attempts to economise by linn
iting scope Of audits, adopt natural

Marines Over World to Honor
Mother De Boo on May ID
Her Boys Abroad
Seldom Forget to
Send Greetings

When Mothers Day rolls around
Sunday, May IA, few women will be
20 widely honored and none will
be prouder of her sons than Mrs.
Kathern De Boo Of Quantico, Va,
Mother of the Marines"
Just now Mother" De Boo has
only about 5000 Marines under her
wing at Quantico, largest Marine
base In the Nation. But hundreds
of those formerly stationed there
remember her on Mothers Day and
Christmas and send her greetings
from distant Marine posts.
Since 1888 Mother" De Boo has
listened to troubles, served as chape-
rome and counselor, welcomed the
wives and sweethearts Of her boys"
at Quantico as matron Of the Hostess
House, . sort of post hotel. For
eight years previously she had lived
on the post and participated In its
life as the wife of the late Sergt.
Maj. Michael De Boo.
She Is credited with finding
friends for many a lonesome young
soldier. She has introduced many
q young man to the girl who 1atel
became his wife. II hope they don't
hold it against me-" chuckles Mother
De Boo. She sits In the same chair.

entertainments so she can be found
easily. Men who have been away
for several years today know where
she will be ut particular events at

may be obtained, 1t is said, by OBJ

favorite tunes, "The Mother De Boo
March," composed by Marine Gun

director at Quantico.
There probably won't be any spe-
cial ceremonies for Mrs. De Boo at
Quantico on Mothers Day, because
she is the one who would have
charge Of planning such an event
and she would have no part Of it.
But it will be a red letter day In
her life just the same, for her
grandson, Jerry Lawson, l year old,
is to be christened at the post

Mothers Day in 1886, was chris

Dr.. Mann Widens His Circle
IF Friends on Rio Voyage
Zoo Director and Ambassador Coffey
Discover Mutual Interest in Circuses

various quarters of the world, and
a common hobby-the circus.
Both had seen the opening OF
"the big show" at Madison Square
Garden, Just before the Uruguay
sailed, and both had been thrilled
and chilled by the same perform
ance.
BY this time, DR.. Mann had met
and learned the life history Of about
everybody on board-Brazilians
Uruguayans, Argentines. They liked
him well enough to tell him where
they were going and why; to give
him letters Of introduction, as well
as detailed information as to CHI
mate, train schedules, port regula-
tions and the availability Of various
animals.
If DR.. Mann has any controver'
sial ideas about world politics he
refrains from expressing them. He
visited in Japan In 1887 and then
went to Shanghai-just before the
japanese bombed that city.
In both places he made friends
he wants to see again. He refused
to criticize either side.
On vacation last summer the Zoo
director went to Norway, Sweden,
Russia, Germany, France and Eng
land. He left Germany just be-
fore the conference at Munich. The
distressing circumstances which
have developed since that time have
not wiped out his memory Of the
warm welcome his old friends gave
him in Germany.
In other words, DR.. Mann Is .
good neighbor," sailing with this
good neighbor" fleet, to make
friends first-and, secondly, to COL
lect animals. It was President
Rosevelt's idea, I'm told, to put
these big ships, the Uruguay, the
Argentine and the Brazil, on reg
ular passenger run to Buenos Aires.
Service Bears Fruit.
Already the service appears to be
bearing fruit. Many North and
South American passengers meet to
exchange ideas. It becomes appar-
ent that more South Americans
speak English than North Ameri-
cans speak Spanish or Portuguese
the language native to Brazil. Many
passengers-even travelling sales
men bound for Rio-were surprised
to learn the language is Portuguese
here. Too, South Americans seem
to know more about our country
than we do Of theirs.
Yet today, going up the Suga,
Loaf, and visiting other sight
seeing points, I heard German
tourists, who can come to this port
in less time than 1t would take the
Uruguay to return to New York
speaking excellent Portuguese Q'm

they knew all about it-which they
