Communications
Wants More Golden Rule,
To the Editor:
I would like to have room In your
paper to mention the seeming In
crease In damage cases, where money
la the thing striven for. Not so
much here, but all over the country.
From all parts or the country these
ulU. or clnlms, seem to spring up,
mushroom like. One Is almost tempt
ed to ask the question: Have we
come to a pass where there Is an
unrestricted open season on any one
who might be a good prospect!1
; We have a good set of laws, pos
sibly a few too many. But theee
laws were enacted with the Intent
that every man should have access
to honest and Justified redress. How
ever, the various court and the
people In general, should see to It
that these statutes are not abused.
In mass there may be at reni th.
but in abuse there might be danger.
We have all sympathy for the pet
son who has Just claim for trdre
or damage; If It can be proven,
beyond a shadow of a doubt, that
such a claim la Justified and de
serving; then such person should '
have adequate redress to cover actual
loss, but not, necessarily, redress Set 1
Imaginary damages.
Aa we see It. the burden of proof
should test squarely with the plain
tiff. It would seem that here Is a
place that the fine point of a tech
nicality should not enter, aa a
wed Re, to force a verdict either way.
That old platitude, "Do unto other
as you would have them do unto
you," probably has become archaic,
but It seems to be ft wonderful pana
cea for moral Hla, when lived up to;
plain as day and easy as pie to do.

Flight o Time
Doc Spears Versus Dean Allen
FT SEEMS the University of Oregon CAN afford to retain
Head Coach Spears, but CAN'T afford to retain the School
of Journalism.
Dean Allen must stop turning out good newspaper men; but
Doc Spears can go on turning out bigger and better football
teams.
At this point no doubt our readers are expecting a vigorous
protest against a policy that places brawn above brains, and
consigns our cherished "Fourth Estate" to the ash can.
IF SO they are due for a big surprise. We make no protest
for we realize it would do no good. We live in a Democracy,
and the people rule.
We admit, that if this issue were left to a vote of the people,
they would endorse by an overwhelming majority, precisely
what the powers-that-be have decreed. In the popular mind
manufacturing football players, at the state factory of higher
learning is f.' more important than manufacturing good editors
and news-hounds.
FOR GOOD football players are rare, and require the most
expert selection, training and preparation. Good news
paper men particularly editors on the other hand are not rare
at all, in fact they are scattered all over the state.
If a star quarter-back is needed it's a hard job to get one.
The supply is slight, the demand tremendous. It takes some
clever and fast work to keep the potential gridiron hero from
Berkeley and Falo Alto; it takes the combined genius of a
Napoleon and Andy Mellon to get him safely within the sacred
coi Mnes of the leading fraternity at Eugene.
OUT a newspaper editor FIE AND ALSO FAUGH! You
can pick a second "Brisbane" up along the highway any
where. Oregon editors are pretty good, they compare favor-
ably with editors in Washington and California but no one will
'deny, that OUTSIDE of the newspapers, scattered over the
I landscape thicker than wild mustard, there are BETTER ONES.
In fact, it is doubtful if there is a three-room house in the
; state, that doesn't contain at least
able of running the local daily,
to be trying to do so. You doubt jtt Just ask the aforesaid
individual. HE 'Lh tell you !
AS THE late Lord Northcliffe remarked, running a news

So while we have a warm spot in the editorial heart for Dean
Allen and the university School of Journalism, could give con
crete evidence of the value of both the institution and its lender
to this state, we refuse to waste our energy and time, in back
ing up its hopeless struggle, with the strong muscled doctor
and the high-powered football machine. Far better become
press agent for Senator Smoot of Utah, or join some modern
Dame Partington in sweeping back the Atlantic ocean!
Wanted A Wiseman
WE VTISH some Wiseman would arise and explain to us
what tbis sex madness that has swept this country and is
threatening to destroy our literature REALLY MEANS.
"We can't figure it out. The most frequent explanation is
it isn't a madness at all, but merely a FRANKNESS. Our pre
occupation with sex hasn't changed, merely our attitude
toward it.
In fact many claim, the prevailing attitude toward sex is
far more wholesome, because move honest, than it was during
the prudish mid-Viotorian days. These same defenders main
tain, the young people of today, are all in all, behaving better
or at least just as well as their grandmothers and grandfathers
did.
MEHBE so. But up to date, we haven't been able to see it.
Sex is important. And honesty toward it, is even more
important. But to our limited vision the present fashions of
thought and action, have appeared not so much honest as loose;
not so much a matter of lower moral standards, as no MORAL
STANDARDS AT ALL.
Is this the time-honored complaint of an older generation
against a younger; the inability of old age to adjust itself to
change, to understand youth!
A GAIN mebbe so.
But we
who REALLY KNOWS
tell us all about it. Frankly, a
and popular magazine reading,
TAKE this last novel, "The End of Desire" by Robert Her
rick. Now Herrick is regarded as one of our better novel-
ists mature, serious, a professor
Yet apparently even he has become
of sex, that this book in our opinion, is no more creative litera
ture, than the latest stenographic report of the annual meeting
of the Gynecological congress. Utterly devoid either of humor
or charm, it is little more than a sex pamphlet, in fiction form.
In other words it is sex PROPAGANDA, and where PROPA
GANDA begins literature ENDS.
As for the cheaper novels, and more trashy magazines.
where frank pruieucy and plain dirt begin literature ALSO
ends.
lflIAT lire we coming to, not only in literature but all down

each night and morning for a week,
raise both legs together, from three
to 20 times as you become accus

Always she tried to penetrate the
