In Memoriam
*T\HE death of Mrs. Charlotte Donnelly, for 12 years employ
ment and housing secretary' of the campus Y. M. C. A.,
brings to an end a life of unusual service to thousands of young
men and women on this campus and in other communities.
In her position she found jobs for many students who with
out them would have been unable to continue their education.
Those who knew her and who have been helped by her will long
honor her memory.
Mrs. Donnelly was a woman who quietly, conscientiously, and
efficiently went about playing her part in this hurrying, scurry
ing world of ours. She was neither famous nor noted; but her
place in the hearts of her many friends will not soon be dis
lodged.
Political Aspirants Organize
TJ EPUBLICANS of the community between the ages of 20
and 35 years may further their political ambitions and work
for the cause of their party by joining the Young Republicans,
a local group affiliated with a ration-wide organization of
younger Republican voters. »
The Eugene Young Republicans met early this week and be
sides preparing for permanent organization adopted as principles
and aims:
1. To encourage eligible voters to register in ample time to
cast their ballots in primary and general elections.
2. To create and foster interest among young people in po
litical activity and to encourage active participation in cam
paigns.
3. To encourage competent persons to seek political office.
4. To promote party politics and to encourage intelligent
participation in city and county government.
The first three points the group makes are excellent ones
indeed. Competent persons are needed for public office. Voters
should register in ample time to vote at elections. Young people
should be interested in political activity and engaged enthusi
astically in the campaigns. But why train young people to
vote on old established party lines that have no real regard for
vital issues?
Are the Young Republicans going to support the Hawley
Smoot tariff, a Republican measure? Are they going to vote
to keep the government away from public ownership of indus
tries? Are they in favor of a government dole to the unem
ployed? Would they support a move toward cancellation of war
debts and reparations? Or is the organization pledging support
to Hoover or some other Republican on whatever platform they
choose to run ?
In spite of all their laudable ideas, we don’t expect much in
the way of social and political reform from Eugene’s Young
Republicans. Definite affiliation with a party will certainly
hamper their “intelligent participation in city and county gov
ernment” affairs.

CHAPTER II
"Should She Ask Him In?”
1. When getting on a street-car,
the lady precedes the gentleman.
This is so she can get safely by
the conductor, swear she never
saw her escort when he is asked
for the. two fares, and thus save a
nickel. When alighting from a car,
bus, brake-rods or box-car, the
gentleman descends first, so the
lady will have something soft to
land on after the motorman or
brakeman throws her off.
2: If the gentleman is right
handed, he should sit on the lady’s
left at dinner, so he can steal her
dessert more readily. Jabbing the
hand with a fork is a sure way of
distracting her attention.
3. Smoking of pipes during the
salad is taboo excepting at Sigma
Nil or Phi Delt dinners.
4. In walking down the street,
the gentleman is on the outside
so he will not be bothered by peo
ple dumping garbage out of second
story windows.
5. A true gentleman never takes
a drink except when he can get it.

Life and Letters of Edmund Gosse.
By Evan Charteris. Harpers &
Bros. *
By BOB RIDDELL
Though he lived to be an octog
arian, Mr. Gosse never joined the
ranks of the best-sellers. As the
inevitable Mr. Shaw puts it, he
“loved literature for its own sake,
and did things that only scholars
appreciate.’’ That he spent sixty
of his years an intimate of as cele
brated a company of literary men
as any period in English history
can claim, and that at the age of
thirty he ha«d already established
himself as an authoritative critic
of mature judgment, compensate
for his comparative obscurity.
Surely for anyone who has lived in
that hero-worshipping book of Bos
well's or the indiscretions of Mr.
Pepys this volume will prove an
indispensable reflection of the lit
erary history of the last half cen
tury. For Gosse was an inveterate
writer, and a glance at the names
of any of his intimate correspond
ents reads like a random page from
a literary “Who’s Who.” For the
citizens of our remote corners,
Gosse presents an amusing, hu
man picture of those literary gods
we are so apt to place on a pedes
tal. They lose nothing by being
shown to us in the flesh.
His main interest, important be
cause at the time it was singular,
was an interest in Scandinavian
culture, and on this subject he was
the undisputed British author
ity. To the unlettered reader it
will be a trifle embarrassing to
learn for the first time that it was
Gosse who introduced Ibsen to the
English speaking world, and that
he performed nearly the same serv
ice for the Norwegian dramatist
Bjornesen.
Gosse, nurtured in the midst of
stifling Puritanism, singular even
for those stiff times, raised him
self above it. The letters illustrate
this growth with remarkable clar
ity; beginning inauspiciously, they
end on a high note, while Gosse
still healthy and good-humored, is
in the mellowest and most kindly
old age. Here is literary London
stretched before you, invitingly,
and a kind old man to guide you.
Saving ►
By Spending
IT was a favorite expression of Theophrastus that time
was the most valuable thing that a person could
spend. One can easily prove the soundness of this
logic. Every minute: spent in reading advertise
ments in this paper multiplies itself manifold in the time
saved in shopping.
Advertisements eliminate lost motion. They save
ning your legs off trying to find some particulai aiticlc
at the price you want to pay. They bring the shops to
your breakfast table, where you may review and select
before starting out. You may find available time in your
classrooms to determine the best buys among the Eugene
merchants.
Advertisements are a straight line between demand and
supply, between spending and saving, between purse and
purchase. They save your shopping time and conserve
your household money. They enable you to get more
for your dollar.
So read the advertisements. Read them every day. Far
from being a task, you will find it an interesting pastime.
It will bring you up to the minute on what’s what in
everything that concerns you or your friends. Be a man
of tomorrow by reading the advertising columns of the
Oregon Daily Emerald
