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. Write today—tomorrow will be too late.

“Why can’t we be honest and
I human for once in our lives?”
| There is so much waste and stupid
ity and hypocrisy in the existing
I order of things in college life,
| Dean John J. 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

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

sident of the University.

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

“A cap as good as the cream”
High praise for Williams Shaving Cream is contained in
this suggested slogan for the Hinge-Cap. Yet truly, the
combination cf faster beard-softening, elimination of razor
friction through lubrication of the skin, and the extra
ordinary care of the skin which Williams gives, has never
been equalled by any other shaving cream. And Williams
is a pure product, absolutely without coloring matter!
Begin on a tube—compare it in every way.
f $250 in Prizes
For the best sentence of ten words or lessen the value of the
Williams Hinge-Cap, we offer the following prizes: 1st prize
$100; 2nd prize $30; two 3rd prizes, $25 each; two 4th prizes,
$10 each; six 5th prizes, $5 each. Any undergraduate or
graduate student is eligible. If two or more persons submit
identical slogans deemed worthy of prizes, the full amount of
the prize wili be awarded to each. Contest closes at midnight
March 14, 1924. Winners will he announced as soon there
after as possible. Submit any number of slogans but write
on one side of paper only, putting name, address, college and
class at top of each sheet. Address letters to Contest bcitor,
