Subscription Phones ■ditor 655 Manager UDl Daily News Editor This Issue Norma Wilson Night Editor This Issue ftupert liuliivant Maintaining the Stride Two editorials from western student newspapers are on the desk of the editor of the Emerald. One is from the W. S. 0. Evergreen and the other from the IJ. fc>. 0. Trojan. They both simultaneously anuounee and bemoan the fact that they are dropping from tlirice-a-week publications to twice-a-week. Lack of advertising is blamed. Yet we wonder if that is all that is behind the movement. Is it possible that something of the lack of student interest in things generally is affecting the demand for the newspapers? * The Emerald comes out six days a week. All other student newspapers on the coast are published five times a week or less frequently. The Emerald is keeping step with the leaders in University journalism by giving the A. S. U. 0. a seven column paper. A careful business policy of accepting no “charity adver tising’’ has put Emerald advertising on such a firm basis that it brings value received. The realization on the part of the student body that Emerald advertisers are making possible the issuing of a seven-column student daily six times a week, while several institutions much larger than Oregon are issuing only a six-column newspaper twice or three times a week, should do much to strengthen the loyalty to the advertisers. The rush of student life makes it impossible for students to read consistently more than one or two newspapers. The Em erald is always one of the two if more than one is read. Inquiry would show the Emerald to be read much more generally by Oregon students than any other. Many a student makes purchases in Eugene as a result of Emerald advertising without ever letting the business man con cerned know where he read of his product. The student who thinks to mention the Emerald in purchasing articles fi'om an Emerald advertiser shows his appreciation of the fact that Oregon’s newspaper is being kept up to the usual standards even in this period when some contemporaries are dropping down. Hie Stuart Walker Plays A definite policy of this year's Emerald is io cooperate with the movement to make the Oregon campus, more than ever be fore, the cultural center of the state. The Stuart Walker plays coming this week tire of the type of production which con tributes to campus culture and hence the Emerald is glad to lend them its support The plays are being supported by a group definitely con nected with the University. Their enterprise is intended to benefit the entire community and the financial risk they have assumed makes the general support of the series of plays a matter of loyalty. The presentation of the l!ook of Job is of special interest to several campus groups which have taken up the study of this great soul tragedy during the fall term. Reports from other places and the general success of the Portmanteau theater idea seem to promise a treat to theater goers. Wastebasket Material An anonymous complaint has come to the editor’s desk charging officers of the campus Republican club with attempt ing to obtain some cheap publicity by organizing a handful of students into a club and electing themselves officers. It found its way to the wastebasket as other communications of a bitter personal nature usually do. . If organizations are to be criticized, why not also criticize the dozen or more nOn-functioning groups on the campus which apparently exist only to elect? The Republican club has not had a chance to function as yet. Apparently it is just one more club added to what we have now. Perhaps it will justify its exist ence. We hope it will. Criticisms of the organization or its officers are not in order at this time. Portland is to view the University’s “all Oregon produc tion,” “The Hour Hand,” this week. The large number of University people in the cast, the size of the undertaking of staging the folk-opera in Portland, and the general interest shown in its success up to this time make the Portland presen tation an affair of great interest. A letter to friends or rela tives in Portland urging them to support Mrs. Beck’s colorful enterprise might he a bit of, cooperation that would assist materially.

Laudsbury feels, that ! the time for when once in their ; lives people could be honest and j human, is spent and lost in need less ways. j Too many are in college, accord ; ing to Dr. Ernest Martin Hopkins, I president of Dartmouth college. The second Oregon-O. A. C. i basketball tilt culminated in a | 39-15 victory for the Aggies in Corvallis last night. Many promising young men and women have been ruined by col lege. They have left the academic ! halls mentally helpless. Entering with ambitions clearly outlined, they have gone out mere products of a machine. The trouble is that American colleges are producing parrots instead of individuals. Thus speaks the Northwestern Daily. Very economical students at the Cniversity of Washington can pay all of their individual expenses, in cluding board, lodging and fees, on an average of $00 a month, ac cording to an analysis of student 1 living costs prepared by the pre sident of the University.

If it is desired, the I writer’s name will be kept out of I print. It must be understood that the j 1 editor reserves the rtoht to reject 1 communications. <t»-O FOR THE LOVE OF JUSTICE i To the Editor: “O Lord, thou hast said that for our sakes thou madest this world. As for tlie other nations, which also i come of Adam, thou hast said that j they are nothing, and are like unto [ spittle.” In response to my compatriot’s communication' in your paper the! other day, I admit that I am not • an elected representative of my peo- j pie, but I know that I am voicing! the general sentiment of my coun trymen. The Indian movement for independence is not so much for political freedom as for economic independence and resembles the struggle this country had with England long ago. If this move ment is restricted to an “ill informed minority,” how can one account for the fact that this party had a great, success during the re cent Indian elections, in spite of the undemocratic franchise? Gandhi raised the estimation of Christ in the eyes of th0 Hindus “more than all the Christian missionaries put ; together,” and he alone can be ; spoken of without blasphemy in the ■ same breath with Christ, (Colonel Wedgewood, M.P.). Why has he, with over 40,000 of his followers, been jailed for leading a peaceful movement following literally the path of Jesus and not of Lonine? I referred to the exploitation of the East by European nations (and not by “white interests,” as I am misquoted), in contention whereof, let another fair-minded Britisher, Sir William Digby, M. P., tell this ! tale in his own words after 100 years of British rule. “We de nounce ancient Rome for impover ishing Gaul, and Egypt, and Sicily —but England is doing exactly the ! same thing in India on a larger scale. Only, she is doing it skillfully, adroitly, by modern and ‘enlight ened’ modes of procedure, under business and judical forms and with so many pretenses of ‘governing India for her advantage and en riching her by civilized methods’ that the world has largely been blinded to what has been really going on.” If America enters the League of Nations, she does not wish to i and cannot do anything about the! nations in the East which have been ! regarded ns of inferior political cali-; bre for reasons best known to European diplomats. Voicing also Woodrow Wilson’s opinion, A. L. Lowell, a Harvard university pro fessor of international fame, says: “It can hardly be supposed that England, for example, intended that any nation should bt> entitled, by raising a dispute, to ask the coun cil to enquire into the government of the natives of India, and make recommendations for a change.” Is I Our New Polish makes your shoes shine like patent leather.

LEMON “O” SHINE PARLOR is a spirit of toleration to tell : foreigner that he should not only say nothing against the institution; of a country in which he happen; to be sojourning, but that he shoulc refrain himself from all criticisn of all friends of that country, evei though he is slandered as a pail Bolsheviki propagandist or his na tion insulted by false statements' Identifying John Bull with Unch Sam, I am accused of being un grateful to the educational institu tions of this country. Far be i from me ever even to think of sucl an idea. If there is any westeri nation I love passionately, it i America, even though I am ai “undesirable alien.” It is because o; my love for this country; it is be cause I believe this country to bi the only ' humanitarian nation ii any sense of the word, with mora power at its back; it is becausi America is regarded by the easteri nations, in general, as an ideal o: “democracy and fair play,” that 1 crave for its moral support to ou: cause, for which I would never ap proach the French or the Germans I am not anti-British, but I an against imperialism of any nation— —English, German, French or Jap anese. I want to hold passionately for the principles on which thi world war is said to have beei fought and for which the flower o this and other allied nations spillec its blood. V. V.
