As a penalty for the sins of their youth, no doubt, graduating classes have to jisten to dreadful speeches about the place of an educated man in democrecy, civic responsibility, “the threshold of life,” and so on. Once in a while, though, a speaker drops the platitudes and speaks his mind. Such a man was Prof. Robert E. Rogers of the English department of Massachusetts Institute of ‘Technology. Addressing the graduating class of that institution the other day, Prof. Rogers waxed sarcastic. It pays, said Prof. Rogers, to be a snob and a bluffer. Here are a few of the bits of advice he handed the ardent young graduates: “Be a snob, marry the boss’ daughter instead of his stenographer, dress, speak and act like a gentleman, and you'll be surprised at the amount of murder you can get away with. “You can go on the assumption that you are as good as the rest of folks. You should take the attitude that you are a damned sight better. Belong to a club, even if you can't afford it, demand good service, and, above all, be a gentleman. ° “You must set before yourcelf a definite plan to be a ruling person. Be superior. Act superior. Talk that way. Think that way. . “I want to preach to you the gospel of being @ snob— not allowing yourself to go to the level of the crowd that hasn't had the opportunities you have had.” All of this, for commencement fodder, is rather un- usual. And, unfortunately, it is undeniable that Prof. Rogers, in his bitter sarcasm, has mapped out a course that will actually bring success—of a kind—to the young man who follows it. Furthermore, there is no doubt that ® great many young college men will do exactly what he has advised. Snobbéry and bluff do succeed in this world. There is no use pretending that they don’t. If you do not know, pergonally, at least one man who owes his good position to sham and pretense, you are a rare sort of person. It all depends on what your conception of success is. If money, position and ease really constitute success, then the way of the snob and the bluffer is the best way, and our whole social scheme is a miserable sham. There: are other standards, however. There are men to whom money and luxury are not the most important things in the world. There is, in all men who are not clods, an inner urge that can never be satisfied except by the doing of the best work of which one is capable. If you are that kind of man, the victories of the snob and the bluffer won't worry you. And if you aren't— well, it doesn’t matter greatly what you do. STYLES AND BUSINESS Railroads and baggage transfer companies are trans- porting fewer trunks than a few years back, and for this misfortune they place the blame upon the women, or, more particularly, fashions for women. Circumstantial evidence returns a verdict of guilty. Modern woman wears fewer and less bulky clothes, with the result that the wardrobe they now carry in a week- end bag and hat bag is as complete, if not more so, than that formerly carried in two wardrobe trunks. ‘This is stated as a fact, not as an accusation, and, to whatever extent it is true, it does illustrate the close re- lations that exist between fashions and more forms of business than would come to mind at first thought. Have not the manufacturers of cloth long joined with the uplifters in complaining bitterly about the few yards of cloth used in making @ dress for the modern woman? ‘On the side of the women, however, are the makers of costly silk stockings. More fortunate than clothmakers are the shoe manu- facturers who have contrived to increase their prices as rapidly as the amount of leather in them ‘has been cut down towards the vanishing point. And it is reported that the modern equivalent of grandmother's “unmen- tionables” consumes less space than its cost in paper money. Reversing the feminine process, masculinity seems to have abandoned hand luggage for the full-size wardrobe trunk. Once man wore his traveling: suit and packed only a change of linen and a night shirt. But that was long ago. Today there is at least another suit, golf togs, Hnen and other apparel. That old saw of man’s invention about woman and her voluminous bag- gage seems to have turned on its master. DIET AND INTELLIGENCE ‘The importance of a child’s diet is emphasized strik- ingly in an article in the current issue of Children, the Parents’ Magazine, by Dr. John Monroe, professor of edu- cational psychology at Long Island university. After 16 years of research. Dr. Monroe found a direct sonnection between a child's intelligence and the food it eats. While food, of course, was not the only factor, he was able to make this Gefinite statement: “Where food was wholesome, intelligence had thrived, ‘and where, as a result of poverty or slovenliness, food was inddequate and carelessly prepared, intelligence had de- onnea.” ‘Za child, whe: you stop to think sbout it, is pretty ES RARE Sa OP noe T'HE BISMARCK TRIBUNE as inherent in man’s nature, but as something assumed Hence an affectation.

Editorial Comment NOT ENOUGH NAMES (Spokane Spokesman-Review) There must be many tired men in the United States Postal service who spend a good deal of their time wish- ing that the people who named towns had shown a little more inventiveness. With 28 Washingtons, 23 Clevelands and 22 Buffalos in the United States, and with the aver- age person's handwriting being what it is, the postoffice department has more troubles than it really ought to have. There are even six Philadelphias and 11 Bostons Sometimes the addresser of a letter helps the postal clerks by specifying the state he wants his letter to go to, but often it would take a clairvoyant to tell whether the state is Va. Pa. or La. California urges its cor- respondents to write Calif. instead of Cal.. to avoid con- fusion with Opl. Many a mail sorter has ruined his eye. sight trying to determine if it was N. J. or N. Y. And even if it is plainly and unmistakably N. Y., what of it? In New York state 23 towns are named Auburn and 16 Geneva. Once a town has been named, it is next to impossible to change it. When a new town is started, the chances are it will be named after the hero of the hour, in com- mon with a dozen or so other new towns. Twenty years bergh or Hoover will be getting each other's mail. DO YOU THINK OR JUST FEEL? (Louisville Courier-Journal) “Emotional transfer” is the technical term used by psy- chologists to describe the method of disparaging propa- | anda, which consists of intermingling the object of at- tack with obnoxious names so that the reader's or hear- er's feeling toward the latter will be communicated to the former. Of course, it works the other way too. A fayor- able impression can be cfeated by endowing the object with such sacred abstract ideas as loyalty, love, honor and patriotism. Much can be done to.lift a proposition above criticism by associating it with progress, liberty, the noble cause of education, science or art. done to avert criticism by ridiculing opposition. It is no newly discovered technique, only newly named. Since the beginning of recorded history it has been the sure-fire method of the demagogue. From time im- memorial this has been his practice. It is more effective in oratory than in writing, because the appeal is to the emotions and the car is more susceptible than the eye to tirst impressions and exposed tricks of inflection. The eye can pause, while the brain ponders, repeat the sentence and roam back at the command of a directing intellect to fetch down a preceding statement for comparison. The antidote is thought. The national mind will isolate the subject of discussion from the company in which it is presented and analyze the argument to see how sound it is devoid of inferences and implications. If a man can not be proved to be a liar without reference to Ananias or a traitor without coupling his fame with Benedict Arnold's a fairly competent intelligence should be able to penetrate the hokum. It is no compliment to his pub- lic for a speaker or writer to assume that it can not think—only feel. WHEAT LESS THAN A DOLLAR (New York Times) The commotion caused on Monday's Chicago market, when the price of wheat fell below one dollar per bushel, was stirrea up by old associations quite as much as by recognition of an existing problem. “Dollar wheat” was a familiar catchword in the pre-war period, but it had a different implication from what attaches to it now. Dur- ing most of the quarter-century before 1914, wheat selling for a dollar at Chicago was equivalent to agricultural prosperity. The uprush of prices in general after 1914, however, and the agricultural experiences of the war. brought a totally altered viewpoint. When the govern- ment, after our own entry into the war, guaranteed a Price of $2.20 for all wheat sold to the official “grain cor- poration” and the open market's price went to $3.50 even in 1919, the suggestion of a return to “dollar wheat” was dismissed as impossible. Commodities other than farm Products were selling 100 to 200 per cent above 1913, and cost of materials and labor had moved up against the farmer as against producers in every other industry. Even in the speculative atmosphere which has per- vaded markets during the last five years, it will not have been forgotten what a jolt the grain trade's ideas of prices then received. The government withdrew from the task of distributing the wheat crop; the wheat market, caught in the “deflation crisis,” fell progressively from $3 in July of 1920 to nearly a dollar toward the end of 1921. Recovering intermittently during the next two years, it fell back to the dollar-mark at harvest time, in each’ of them. In July and August, 1923, even the Chicago “cash price” went as low as 961: cents a bushel, but it never went again below the dollar-mark since that year unti! last Monday. The low price of that particular period resulted partly from the reactionary influences then prevailing on all markets, partly from the poverty of grain-consuming populations outside of the United States, but very largely from the fact that, by a species of blind instinct, the first step of economic reconstruction in the outside world was intensive application to grain culture. Our department of agriculture’s estimate was that the world’s annual wheat yield in 1923 was greater by nearly 750,000,000 bushels than In 1919, an increase of 25 per cent; that it had never but twice before been equaled in the grain trade's history, and that the whole of the inc: ease occurred in countries other than the United States. The eubstantial recovery in the wheat market after 1923, which carried the cash price to the two-dollar mark for a (ime in 1925, and kept it pretty steadily above $1.50 up to the end of 1928, was largely occasioned by smaller crops, especially in Europe. Nevertheless, the rel- atively high prices paid for wheat during that period stimulated greatly the activities of foreign producers. In 1927,. and particularly in 1928, al! previous records in werld production were surpassed.

As a matter of fact so little is known about the inheritance of any- thing so complicated as temper, that it is wise to assume that although some children are born with a greater tendency than others to fly into rage: everyone, with proper training, can learn a reasonable degree of self- control.

SZ adh ADS Sa Gg JAMESTOWN SAVED On June 10, 1610, Lord Delaware reached Jamestown, at the mouth of the James river in Virginia, and res- cued from starvation the English colonists suffering there. The res- cue saved the first permanent Eng- lish colony in AnYcrica from total extinction. Before Lord Delaware’s timely arrival, the hardships endured by these colonists were the most severe in American colonial history. They began when Captain John Smith was forced to leave the colony to its own resourees and return to England to answer some petty. charges. When Smith embarked for Eng- land the colony was a_ well-pro- visioned settlement boasting nearly 500 settlers. No efforts to replenish their stores by farming was made, however. Six months later, when Lord Delaware arrived with a new nes colnalaiog: party this number was i reduced, by starvation chiefly, to 60.
