Out of the Fog
JN a world where “whirl is king” and values seem
to us to he broken down much faster than they
can be created there comes a man who has lived a
long, respected life of creative idealism and, in full
awareness of the social, political, and eoonomic up
heavals which have transpired during* 'His three
quarters of a century, he continues to dream of an
order and a beauty out of chaos.
The sculptor, Lorado Taft, who spent Monday on
the campus, holds that art exists to be seen, and his
ideal museum would not only present all the world’s
masterpieces in a profoundly systematic sequence
but the museum itself would be an institution con
tributed to in active interest and incorporated into
the lives of the people.
We have need right now for these dreamers,
these men who have contributed vitally to America's
cultural life during the past years. This is a time for
dreamers—where there is no vision, the people per
ish. Reformations that have stripped life of the very
colors that make it endurable in a wild effort to
produce a civilization that can be read into stock
phrases are not worthy of their name.
There is vision in art, it is an attitude in the light
of which petty feelings and petty dissentions fall
away leaving order and balance relative judgement
and, for the individual, a life full of design and vis
ion—and the proof of this last we have in the person
of Lorado Taft, a strong, calm, crusader for his
cause who enjoys each minute of his own existence
and whose clear, bright eyes look on life in its full
ness even while aware of its impermanency.
We Pay and Like Ll
■^TTE'RE gullible, we Americans. This condition
was never more conclusively illustrated than
by the recently published findings of the federal
trade commission after a six year investigation into
the methods of propoganda used by the public utili
ties companies. The commission’s report informs us
that “no campaign approaching it in magnitude has
ever been conducted except possibly in wartime."
High rates have made it possible for a utility to
“perpetuate itself through the control of public opin
ion.” The charges made by the commission find that
the consumers’ money has been used to “secure the
good will of the press and the newspaper fraternity, ’
which is the most powerful moulder of public atti
tude.
But not alone is the press subjected to the will of
the utilities corporations. 'The consumers’ money is
used to sway legislators from passing laws that
might be detrimental to the monopolies. Says the
commission’s report: “The record indicates very sub
stantial results both in increased public good will
and in a decrease in the number of legislative
measures to which the utilities are opposed."
Greedily ambitious executives of utilities cor
porations are not content with influencing the press
and those who make the laws but even carry their
propaganda into the schools of the nation. Superin
tendents of public schools are inveigled into the
idea of "educating school children into the workings
of public utilities” by means of pamphlets prepared
by the corporations. Propaganda is injected into
text books, and in some states the books which con
tain some censure of the activitie-i of the utilities are
eliminated and replaced by others written either by
professors subsidized by the corporations or by men
employed by the utilities.
Here is an example of bleeding the people by a
veiled method and devoting a portion of the spoils to
an anesthesia which is designed to facilitate further
dissection of the public purse.
And what did M. H. Ayleswortb, director of the
National Electric Light association say? He said,
“The public pays.”
The public grants the monopoly; the public pays
exhorbitant rates; the public pays for the propo
ganda which in turn causes the public to pay the
exhorbitant rates. We Americans are gullible, and
our gullibility has done much in making the nation
| safe for the public utilities. <
A Test for the League
A GAIN the world is about to witness the effec
tiveness of the League of Nations. That body
has announced that it intends to do something about
the Chaco war between Bolivia and Paraguay.
The move most generally expected is that the
body will sever economic, financial, and diplomatic
relations with the warring countries. Today they will
hold a meeting at which, according to a League
statement, they may merely view the situation and
discuss it, and then again they may take these steps
to reestablish peace in South Amercia.
The theory of the severance of relations with the
countries is absolutely sound. Neither could last long
if all the countries of the world boycotted them.
They would soon find themselves without the two
main staples of a war, food and munitions.
But unfortunately not all of the nations, and
most conspicuously the United States, belong to the
League. Thus the boycott would not be complete nor
effective. The trade of the United States alone con
tributes a large part to the continuance of this war.
However, in the League we have a beginning of
the consciousness of the need for cooperation and
peace between the nations of the world, and while
the immediate efforts may be small they are never
theless steps in the proper direction.
Complete world-wide cooperation and energetic
statesmanship would add greatly to the present pal
lid complexion of the League.
“Mystery of Island Love Is Unsolved," says a
headline in the Oregon Journal. We fail to see where
island love is more mysterious than any other va
riety.
It would seem that Circe has a genuine rival in
Baroness Elosia Bousque de Wagner, who is hold
ing forth as the "queen of the Galapagos.”
The Passing Show
Dead, Dormant or Unborn?
T IBERALISM, though it yet speaketh, is dead.”
A negative debating team from Oxford and
Cambridge did its best to disprove that resolution
last Monday night, but its best was not enough to
keep an affirmative McGill University squad from
gaining the decision.
Liberalism is dead and buried in both economic
and political, national and international fields, Mc
Gill men declared. Amid a general complex of fear,
political bureaucracy at home and economic nation
alism are gripping the world.
Even in our own country and in the college field,
liberals—those few who yet speak—look upon such
events as the ousting of five U.C.L.A. students for
communistic leanings "and attempting to destroy
the university” and find it not good.
Better teams than Oxford-Cambrigde would have
a pretty hard time proving that liberalism has life
today. The average man is more interested in eco
nomic security, and the state is seeking prepared
ness as a buffer against war. On many sides dem
ocratic institutions have given way to dictatorships.
Some might be inclined to think, however, that
liberalism is more a thing of the future than of the
past—that it has never really lived except in isolated
cases.
When the present is gloomy the past always
looks a lot rosier. Tf you can believe that no crisis
has ever been as stark as the existing one, you may
bask in the holy martyrdom of being able to take it
like no one else ever could.
So it is that when gazing into the past we are
apt to become a bit short-sighted and take liberalism
speaking for liberalism actually living. Liberalism
has spoken in almost all ages, but, practically, it
has seldom found its way into being. In America
today frequent speeches by “100 per cent Ameri
cans” are sufficient to keep a lot of persons under
the illusion that they are living in a free country.
All this is based on the definition of liberalism
which the debaters apparently agreed upon: that it
involves freedom from bureaucratic control: or spir
itual freedom, free individualism and the unfettered
right of self-expression for all mankind. Did liberal
ism in that sense have its inception with the Refor
mation and the Renaissance and flourish for four
centuries under the impetus of the bourgeoisie? Mc
Gill debaters believed that it did. Did such liberalism
exist even in the halcyon days of ancient Greece ?
Perhaps the debaters should have quit wrangling
over the question as to whether liberalism was dead
or dormant find drawn up a resolution something
like this: "Liberalism, though it speaketh, is uot
yet born.” The Michigan Daily.
Chimes and the Daily
E' DITOR James G. Long of Columns yesterday in
sinuated in his editorial column that The Daily
may have played a part in the painting of Chimes
tower before the Oregon game.
At the start of this year Editor Long suggested
that it might be well to revive former fights between
The Daily and Columns, as it would increase the
circulation of Columns.
However, yesterday Editor Long sold 3000 copies
of the 24-page, little-pig covered November number,
so it would seem his motive is not to increase Col
umns circulation, which is already circulating at a
rapid rate.
Editor Long nevertheless was wrong in his con
tention. It is possible that no Oregon students
painted those letters on the Chimes: it is possible
that certain student leaders interested in rousing!
spirit for the Oregon game were out late that night
but The Daily played no part in the painting of the
Chimes.
The Daily was able to carry the story because it
received a full report of what happened just after
it happened, which was before the deadline of The
Daily.
The long editorial, which Editor Long indicated
was suspiciously ready, was hastily revamped from
a long rally editorial previously written. Only a few
changes were necessary to convert it into an edi
torial on the Chimes.
Editor Long will try again in the December issue
—Washington Daily.
The Day's
Parade
By PARKS HITCHCOCK '
Arms Registration
—
JJY far the most sensible propo
sition offered at the recent
disarmament conferences, and cer
tainly the one which would proba
bly occur to most intelligent ob
servers, is the plan offered by the
American Ambassador in Switzer
land, Mr. Hugh R. Wilson. Mr.
Wilson, representing his country
in the present conference in Gen
eva, has submitted a plan for reg
istration of all lethal machines,
from pocket revolvers to the larg
est battleship with an internation
al commission that would regulate
the manufacture, sale and appor
tionment of these instruments of
warfare.
Sarcasm Unveiled
Appended to this plan (which
will come up for action at interna
tional councils during the next
few months) are remarks hardly
calculated to impress foreign na
tions with anything other than an
“holier-than-thou" attitude on Un
cle Sam's part. The proposition
states that America is ready and
willing to allow the commission to
investigate her munitions business
if other nations will likewise open
up their back rooms. The ‘if’’
clause here would be obvious
enough in any pact of this nature,
and therefore in the United State's
plan it comes as little more than
aggravating sarcasm, a type of
diplomatic innuendo for which
world affairs would gain by the
elimination.
American Disdain
kpHE chief, and really only valid
reason why such proposals can
not help but receive a suspicious
eyeing’ from continental powers
lies in Uncle Sam's past failure to
show anything but a vague dis
dain toward international affairs
and their solution. Broadminded
American citizens cannot fail to
sense the proddings of their na
tional consciences when our fam
ous policy of isolation is mentioned.
Long a barrier to participation in
world affairs, the federal govern
ment has gone blithely along its
policy of independent nationalism.
This policy, nevertheless, has never
hindered Washington from stick
ing a finger in the foreign pie
whenever she thought it profitable.
Like the late situation with the
Soviet, however, all these communi
cations, suggestions, actions, are
cloaked under a pseudo-official
standing, which can be construed
almost any way you wish.
Europe Looks Askance
It is no wonder then, that Eur
ope regards any plan proposed by
the United States with suspicion;
our president and last broad inter
nationalist framed and organized
the League of Nations, yet our na
tion stubbornly refused to enter
the group, thereby practically
emasculating that body. Contin
ually our foreign policy has been
to take all and give nothing; we
have demanded security without
responsibility, protection sans in
vestment. It is up to the present
government to decide whether we
shall pursue the fatal course of'
fatal nationalism or whether we
shall give a broader construal to |
our foreign policy and aid in the J
development of the rights of all
men.

Could Those Tri-Delts Climb
Through Windows?
By FREDERIC S. DUNN
| DESIRE to inform this myopic
sphere. It was not a sporadic
case or two. They all did. If you
require corroboration, M o z e 11 e
Hair, in the Extension Division, or
Isolene Shaver-Gilbert will furnish
affidavits.
When the lower floors were all
painted and polished, the barricades
taken down from the front porch,
and the ladders to the second
storey windows removed, the Del
ta Delta Deltas could once more
enter their domicile in the approved
fashion. And here the counsel for
the prosecution rests its case, as
sured that the jury can have but
one recourse. The Judge, however,
will doubtless exonerate the ac
cused of all guilt. But they did,
just the same. When they all
screeched in unison, how could one
help rushing to see who was the
last one murdered?
As far as that is concerned, I
myself once climbed through a Tri
Delt window. I succeeded in find
ing one that was unlatched and
groped my way to the front door
in order to let in their House
Mother. We had been detained
cussing the organization of a Thea
ter group. Mrs. Dunn was looking
on, prayerfully, and so was a
bunch of mixed Phi Delts and
Fijis. So that was as far as I got.
I did not even dare look over my
shoulder.
All this was when we lived on
the corner of Fourteenth and Al
der, and the Kloshe Tillacums
were occupying the house that was
built on a portion of our original
estate, to the south. We had to
remove our historic barn from the
lot, and also to see an incipient
archard of my own planting de
molished to make way for ‘Edna
Hall,’ as its builder named the
structure, in honor of a daughter
who had been drowned at the head
af the Mill Race. The name was
long intact in the pavement of the
ipproach to the House. A wag of
i neighbor called it ‘The House of
Ten Gabbles.’
X can not aver that this house
gabbled' any more than any or
dinary household of healthy girls.
But I do recall many a happy eve
aing when groups of Tri Delts
would come in to chat by our fire
alace. We even shared in their
are-initiation stunts, albeit clan
iestinely. Waffles, too, occasion
illy went the way of waffles, Tri
Delta-wise.
But now there is probably not
ane in the new house, way out on
South University, who knows the
jolly part we played in the early
ife of her organization. Do you
Delta Delta Deltas keep a scrap al
aum ? Here then is a bit of your
mcient history upon which to ap
aly your paste pot.

MOW IN NOVEMBER, by JO
^ SEPHINE JOHNSON; pub
lished by Simon & Schuster, re- j
viewed by A. L. R.—
Harking back in parts almost to I
the terrible realism of Bronte’s
“Wuthering Heights,” NOW IN
NOVEMBER by JOSEPHINE
JOHNSON yet reminds one of the
soothing monotony of Gladys Has
tings Carroll’s “As the Earth
Turns.”
“Now in November I can see our
years as a whole,” says Marget,
who tells the story. Years of des
perately hard farm work, drouth
and human suffering for Arnold
and Willa Haldmarne and their
three daughters, wild Kerrin,
steady Merle and plain Marget.
Someone has said that if Emily
Dickinson had written a novel it
would have been such a one as
this. The comment seems true in
such beautiful passages as:
“And there was the double life,
the two parts not within each oth
er nor even parallel. The one made
up of things done day after day
with comfort and soberness, hard
sometimes but solid—things you
could lay your hands on and feel I
that they were there: the sauce
pans and heavy dishes, the thick
cups and the five beds to be made
—things without any more mys
tery than the noon sun had. The
open life and the one that was
greater of the two, calm, prosaic
. . . rational. And there was the
inner walking on the edge of dark
ness, the peering into black door
ways . . . the unrevealed answer
which must be somewhere, and

PURE QUILL
By JIMMY MORRISON
WHAT D. G. was driving
round in a Ford without
anything on but a raincoat and a
pair of shoes Saturday evening?
She ran out of gas, had a gallon
put in where she stalled, and then
drove into a service station, and
while the attendant washed her
windshield he felt relieved for not
going to the show he was forced
to miss.
A couple of Chi Omegas have re
ported having seen a group of Chi
Psis down at the 15-cent store pur
chasing “Lovalon” hair rinse,
which the babes maintain the boys
insisted must be prefumed. We
never dreamed. . .
Vi Olinger, Tri Delt pledge, will
tell any or all interested basket
ball players what^s wrong with
their technique anytime. Anyhow,
she reviewed several points on that
subject the other night for the Tri
Delt sisters. If you ask her in a
pleasant way, perhaps she will di
vulge the reason for not wearing
Ron Gemmel’s pin, instead of keep
ing it in her pocket.
“57” Hines over at Hendricks
will become a bit irked, we hear, if
anyone mentions trains or Betas to
her.
Everything is running smoothly
for the Tri Delts. They’re having
an extra-special dance Saturday
night, but you can bet on one
thing. The musicians wil be there,
and one of them will be sure to
bring his sax to grind.
