The vanity of man is disclosed
in gigantic and- Gargantuan propor
tions when he essays the role of
-constitution maker. Illustration: The
good citizens of Florida are op
posed to state taxation of income.
We concur. They will have none
of it in Florida. Bravo, gentle
men, and well within your rights.
And then, as though overcome by
the vehemence of their own pro
test of this iniquitous measure and
auto-intoxicated by the assertion of
their right to have none of it for
themselves, they decree gradilo
quently that the same shall be ban
ished from their state forever.
There are some grounds for
thinking that men may govern them
selves, th'e more difficult task of
governing their children, imen mod
estly refer to the women but an at
tempt to project their power beyond
the grave and prescribe rules for
their progeny throughout eternity
ean be characterized as nothing but
an egotistical debauch.

As an antidote to the cynical
tone sometimes charged to this
column, let us naively confess to an
unbounding enthusiasm for the
work of the Fifth Assembly of the
League of Nations, which concluded
its labors last month at Geneva.
On October 2, the delegates of the
47 nations there represented, unani
mously adopted the Protocol for
Pacific Settlement of International
Disputes, and agreed to work for
its ratification by the treaty mak
ing powers of their respective
governments. Ten nations, includ
ing France, the greatest military
power on the continent, officially
agreed to the Protocol before the
Assembly adjourned.
Arthur Henderson of Britain de
clares adherence to the Protocol
will result in the final outlawry
of war. A leading feature of the
Protocol is Article 2, which runs
as follows:
“The signatory States agree in
no case to resort to war, either with
one another or against a State,
which, if the occasion arises, ac
cepts all the obligations herein
after set out, except in case of re
sistance to acts of aggression or
when acting in agreement with the
Council or the Assembly of the
League of Nations in accordance
with the provisions of the Covenant
and the present Protocol.”
The foregoing means that a na
tion adhering td the Protocol has
abandoned the right to make war
when it pleases but may use force,
only as an individual may right
fully use force, to-wit, when at
tacked or authorized so to do by
public authority. Clearly enough,
the sovereign right of each nation
to make war when it will it thrown
overboard in this program. Just
as social peace cannot be had un
less individuals abandon practice
of fighting at their own sweet will,
so has inexorable logic required its
abandonment by those nations at
tempting the organization of a
peaceful world.
The process of unscrambling the
Greeks and the Turks in the Bal
kans is nearing completion. The
two governments agreed to the ap
pointment of a Mixed Commission
with a neutral chairman, whose
duty it was, to move the Greeks
out of the territorial limits of Tur
key and remove the Turks from
Greek soil. The task was immense
as the numbers involved may ex
ceed the million mark and funds
were decidedly limited.
The measure should be as effec
tive as it has been drastic. When
centuries of history have demon
strated that two peoples cannot
live peaciably together it is high
time they should try living apart.
Just as high fences make good
neighbors, so does distance between
two races, make for ’ inter-racial
peace and friendship. So long as
the Japanese stayed in Japan, we
viewed their progress with an af
fection, almost paternal regard.
What people had became “most
like us” in so short a time? Were
they not the only foreign people
sufficiently intelligent to take up
baseball? How we rooted for the
Japanese David in his fight with
the Russian Goliath!
As Franco-German relations be
come less tense, Herriot has time
to tilt a lance at the Pope. He an
nounces that the next budget will
make no provision for maintain

had love affairs which are unfor

COUGAR ELEVEN
TIES OREGON, H
Koenig and Waldorf Are
Big Cogs in Washington,
State Offensive Machine
JONES, TERJESON STAR
Before an enthusiastic crowd,
the Oregon and Washington State
elevens put on an interesting and
somewhat exciting exhibition of
football, in the Multnomah field at
Portland last Saturday, score, 7-7.
After each team had fought its
way across its opponent’s goal line,
neither Oregon or Washington
State was able to score again. Both
eleven displayed a rather brilliant
offensive, with Koenig and Wal
dorf the stellar performers for the
Cougar team, while Jones ripped
through the Washington State line
for a total gain of 107 yards.
Koenig Heavy Hitter
With the very sound of the
starter’s gun, Koenig, a powerful
Eskimo ,began pounding, twisting
and dodging his way through the
Oregon line for consistent gains.
Shortly after the opening of the
second quarter, the Pullman aggre
gation worked the ball down to the
Oregon one-yard line, where Duke
Slater carried the ball over for the
first score.
A fumble by Slater on the Wash
ington State 40-yard line started
the varsity on their march down j
the field. Several neat end runs
by Anderson, together with several
plunges by Vitus and line smashes
by Jones, pushed the ball across
the Cougar goal line. Reed con
verted, and the score then stood
7-7, remaining so to the end.
| Oregon Offensive Better
On account of a dry field, Oregon
showed the Lemon-Yellow followers
a remarkably improved offensive.
One of the outstanding features of
the contest was the defensive as
well as the offensive work of Jens
Terjesen. Time after time Ter
jesen after blocking his man on
the “punt formation” tore down
the field and nailed the safety, who
had received the kick. His running
of interference was a big factor in
the Oregon yardage gains. Vitus
played his best offensive game and
was an important cog in the Ore
gon baekfield. Both Jones and
Wilson displayed their usual steady
and effective style of play.
The Washington State tilt was
an excellent bit of preparation for
the varsity’s big game with the
Aggies this week-end.
Yardage not Made
Outside of some spectacular open
field running by Waldorf and Koe
nig, the Pullman aggregation failed
many times to make the needed
yardage through the Oregon line.
As a measuring stick of the
Oregon and O. A. C. teams, Wash
ington State brings out the fact
that these two schools will match
up fairly evenly against each other.
By virtue of their very slim vic
tory over the Cougars, the Aggies
might have an extremely slight
edge over Oregon. But Oregon’s
victory over the Huskies, who had
beaten the Beavers, appears to
even the count. •
MEN TO VISIT HOUSES
AT FIRST DIME CRAWL
All of the men of the campus are
expected to visit a women’s house,
or several women’s houses, as their
fancy strikes them, tomorrow night
froim 6:15 to 7:30 and join in the
first dime crawl of the season. A
dime will be charged as admission
to each house, and once in, a man
can indulge in as many dances as
he wants to.
These informal dances are spon
sored by the Women’s League, and
the proceeds will go towards the
foreign scholarship fund which
this association maintains. Jeanne
Elizabeth Gay, chairman of the
scholarship fund and in charge of
the danee plans, requests that all
houses turn in the money collected
as soon as the dances are over.
Members of Alpha Omicron Pi will
be At the Sigma Chi house, Alpha
Delta Pi at the Campa Shoppe,'
Delta Delta Delta at the Sigma Nu i
house, Chi Omega at Phi Kappa Psi,
and Kappa Alpha Theta at Phi

RED GROSS CAMPAIGN
STARTS TOMORROW
A. S. U. 0. Permits Campus
Membership Drive
Tomorrow morning the signal will
be given for the start of the Red
Cross membership drive on the Uni
versity campus, and the work will
be wound up Thursday night. The
leaders of the drive have been ap
pointed and are ready for the start,
and others to help in the work will
be appointed today, according to
an announcement made yesterday
by Ivan Houston, who is chairman
of the drive.
A representative will be named
in each organization on the cam
pus, who will do the active can
vassing in his own group. Ivan
Houston will be in charge of the
representatives in the men’s or
ganizations and Pauline Bondurant
of those in the women’s organiza
tions. Ea-1 Smith and Bob Gard
ner will carry on the canvassing
among the men outside the organi
zations. Helen Armstrong will
handle the work among outside wo
men.
During the two days of the drive
there will be a booth in the Co-op
and one in front of the library,
where students may sign up. There
will be a speaker at the. assembly
Thursday who will speak for the
Red Cross, and there will be tables
in the Woman’s building during the
assembly hour, where subscriptions
will be taken.
The Red Cross drive is the first
outside drive to be authorized by
the A. S. U. O. heads this year and
probably will be the only one to be
considered worthy of authorization
under the new plan restricting
drives held on the -campus. The
campaign is under the auspices of
the American Legion and is
strongly backed by all ex-service
men.
The Red Cross is an organization
chartered by the United States and
has been doing work for many
years in times of both peace and
war. Its work in peace time con
sists of helping tubercular child
ren, victims of fires and floods, and
other needy persons wherever they
may be found. The committee
urges the complete cooperation of
the students during the two days
of the drive and hopes to put it
over 100 per cent before Thursday
night.

MRS. WARNER RAISES
ESSAY PRIZE 10M
Mrs. Murray Warner, donor of
the University’s priceless collec
tion of oriental art objects, has
doubled the prize she has offered
annually for the last three years
for the best essay on the general
subject of the relations of the west
coast of the United States with
the countries of the Orient.
News to this effect was received
by Mrs. P. L. Campbell, wife of
the president of the University, in
a letter containing a check for $200.
When the prize was first offered
the amount was $00. Last year it
was raised to $100, and now Mrs.
Warner makes the award still more
attractive.
Revision of the rules for the con
test will be undertaken by the Uni
versity committee or. awards with
in the next few days, when the an
nouncement will be made whether
the $200 will be left in one prize
or divided between a first and sec
ond.
The prize was won last year by
Ted Kurashige, a senior law stu- j
dent. Kurashige, an American !
born Japanese had won the $50 ,
prize the year before, but this fact
was not known by the committee
in charge when the decision for last j
year was made. Kurashige is now
practicing law in his native Pearl !
City, Hawaii, leaving the field to
other essayists.
Mrs. Warner is the widow of
Major Murray Warner, who was a
United States engineer in China
during the Boxer rebellion. Her,
interest in oriental art and in the
people of the Orient goes back j
many years. Improvement of the ;
relations between the peoples on

BASKETBALL MATERIAL
IS GOOD, SAYS COACH
Barnstorming Trip Slated
For Holidays
“Basketball is progressing very
nicely,” said Coach Reinhart yes
terday. “Of course Latham, Shafer,
Chapman and Rockhey will bo
missed, but some exceptionally
good varsity material is going to
help a lot.”
The three last year’s varsity let
ter men, Hobson, Gowans and Gll
lcnwaters, will be Reinhart’s lhain
stavs. Okerberg, Westergren, Ki
minki, Westerman, Flynn, Rein
hart, Chiles and Dallas of last
year’s frosh team, and last year’s
varsity substitutes, including Gun
ther, Stoddard and Jost, will give
Reinhart a good field from which
he can pick his team.
Reinhart is still giving funda
mentals. Pivoting, passing, block
ing and running compose the chief
dish on the basketball menu. The
mastery of the fundamentals is
what every coach strives to have
li is men acquire, the coach said. A
player must bo exceptionally good
in every department to got far in
intercollegiate basketball the way
it is played now.
A player's pnysical condition
must be perfect. No other sport
saps the player’s strength as
quickly as basketball, Reinhart ex
plained. Months of training are
necessary to put the player in a
condition to stand the strain of a
fast game: Mind and body must
be perfectly coordinated. A man

SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY LAUDED
BY MORTAR BOARD DELEGATE
“Yes, Southern hospitality is ia.ll
it is reputed to be and more. There
were no stones left unturned by
the committees in charge of arrang
ing for our counfort and pleasure
during our stay in Lexington, and
our chief regret was that we could
be there only three days,” was the
way Frances Simpson, delegate to
the bienniel convention of Mortar
Board, summed up the reception
which the Colligates received from
the hostess chapter at the Univer
sity of Kentucky, during the con
vention, which was held in Patter
son .hall at the University, Novem
ber 6, 7, and 8.
“We three western girls were
quite the curiosities of the conven
tion because we had come from
such a seemingly unheardof part
of the country. I had an Oregon
seal on my traveling bag, and the
minute it was set down in the hall
there, I was beseiged with inquir
ies labout the far West. Everyone
wanted to know how long it had
taken me to get from Eugene to
Lexington, and wlit?n I told them
we had been en route for five days
tliey scarcely believed it,” she ■con
tinued. “The other two westerners,
Gladys Evans of Washington State
college and Mary McCallum of the
University of Idaho shared the in
I terest which my seal aroused, ns
they had come nearly as far. In
fact, we were the only delegates
from west of the central states,
and to hear the Kentuckians talk
you would thiuk we had traversed
at least two continents to get
there.
“They asked so many questions
about the West in general and Ore
gon in particular that when I ex
tended to the convention an invita
tion to come out, here for the next
biennial conference, that was all
they talked about for the rest of
the time. I think there is little
doubt of the invitation 's being ac
cepted.

fact that there was considerable
