THE apprehension of the good gives but the greater feel to the worse.—Shakespeare. it Won’t Be Long Now UTJEY there, Mr. Senior, What J-lyou going to do after you graduate?” Have you lieard it too—the omin ous voice of the dread world al ready besetting you from over the cups and on the curbs and from be hind the lilacs and everywhere? •j'hc world, the world, the inexor able, the unmerciful world which holds you in heavy debt and de mands her due? Must you too trudge back like a Carlisle Indian to his reservation? Huh! Did’st. think life is eternal ly like the soft world of the robins after a warm spring shower which raises the .ground-smells anijl the worms like manna to your feet? No, no, my boy, look at, the alumni and learn that it is a world of gas pump handles, of bond-sellers and press agents. Life cut off at the neck, you say? Ah, but it is the world and it comes—big and black, and sure as cloud shadows on the desert floor. And it is real, they sav; and this but the empyrean, a dream which you will forgot—for who can recite a dream? You must have done with think ing, boy, and begin to do. Anyway, thinking and such like tilings are— well, consider the flowers, how hap py they are. And flowers do not think. Yes, you must do. There ends the universal puzzlement. Unless, unless—no, but you have not the pure and pristine unmoral ity of the master loafers—Ol’ Walt and Ol’ “Soc” and all the rest. Only titans and gods can bo suc cessful loafers. And , really, you must forget “soul ’’and ‘•idea” and “beautiful” and all such pretti nesses. Nonseusities! And the birds of the air and the lilies, we have done with all that long, long ago, you remember. It stands to reason, man —you are a man now, you know— you must to work, to business now. bet others watch the thin moon dive into cloud pools, and the fat moon do his pranks. Let idlers count dead apples on the leafless limb. You belong to the world now, boy. And what is it the world says?— No, never that—except the moon struck and the cracked, never. To the contrary, it is this: “Go to the ant;, thou sluggard, consider her ways and be wise.” Come, boy, the World!—B. J. A New Wrinkle for An Old Profession A COURSE in “constructive kill ing”? Why not? Or does the Daily Iowan step beyond the realm of probability in considering such a course for the university of to morrow? The Iowan tells of William S. Gilbert whoso professional card reads: WILLIAM S. GILBERT Contracting Executioner Trenton, N. J. While a prisoner in the New Jer sey penitentiary he won his free dom by springing the trap for an execution after the warden had be come unnerved. So Mr. Gilbert is now one of the leaders in a new profession. lie has already per formed more Ilian forty executions and has, without doubt, proved himself a boon to tin same society that decrees killing. There is no reason why the task should not bo dignified. Gilbert, for instance, fol lows his profession with as much in terest and zest as the doctor, the engineer, or the lawyer does his. He enjoys his life work,—or death work, if you will. Just think what a polish the uni versities could give to such a field of endeavor. Why not a school of constructive killing, with required courses in religion, engineering, dramatics, chemistry and philos I ophy? Add a little high-powered salesmanship, also available in the universities, and you have work of a technical nature, requiring special training. A boon to humanity in several ways. It’s not hard to contemplate such a profession, neither is there any thing horrible about the matter. A travesty on civilization, as the Iowan says? Not at all. We are not far removed from all this. We don’t finish the job with the niceties it might have, but we are on our way. Killing, whether by the indi vidual or the commonwealth, is still everyone’s business, even in the universities. ' Isn’t the It. O. T. C. still with us? China (Continued from page one) two countries arc not very hard to seek. The favorable geographical position with a group of islands linked together closely along the western side of the Pacific, the fighting spirit, inherited rather late ly from the old feudal system, the peculiar religious belief of Bushedo found in the devotion of the people to the land, the country and the emperor, the oeonoinie fear on part of the nation as a whole for the shortage of food and other material provisions to meet the constant do maud of the ever increasing pnpula tion, and, most important of all, the constitutional form of govern ment with the bureaucratic, tvpo of administration, with the principle of state ownership of certain na tion-wide undertakings, and with the large, strong and well-equipped military force to gu do its national destiny—all these have been re sponsible for making of Japan a world power, but none of these could be found in China. During the last few decades, China has also made great progress. The change in the form of govern ment from the absolute to the re public. the introduction and rapidly spreading of modern education, in cluding the modification of the Chinese language, the establishment of the factory system resulting in the increase of the finished products mill a decrease in the total expen diture of human energy, and the overnight growth of nationalism, extended from a handful group of the young students to the people of nil elasses hear witness to the dif ference between the China of today and that ot a few decades ago. Though China has not been so ag gressive as Japan, the former has been progressing slowly but also steadily.
