Now if the president of that university will see that an equal effort is put into scholarship that has previously gone into athletics, his university may yet make u name for itself and do soine substantial good for those who attend for the purpose of learning something. The. heads. of other educational institutions, ineluing uni- versities, colleges and more especially high schools through- out the land could with great ¢ lvantage take heed of the ac- tion of this president of Dubuque and follow his example. The fact is, that most schools, big and little, have over- done the athletic departments of their institutions. They heve emphasized them to the real injury of the other de- partments for which the schools were founded. The real purjoses of going to colleges and schools were lost in the ambitions aroused in athletics. Those attending sought to excel in the play part of the program and if anything had to be sacrificed it was never the showy part, it was always the primary purpose of their presence at school. 3 The farce of modern schooling is not confined t there are numerous other matters of so-called fancy eguld be dropped as well and professors, school boards and school authorities all up and down the line could with great propriety take up the matter of mere “book larnin’ ” with great advantage to those in their care and greater benefit to the country’s future welfare. Coolidge Wisdom The striking statements in President Coolidge’s Memorial Day address should: reach the consciousness of eyery citiz in the land.. The four topics dwelt upon were: Law Pnforc ment, State Taxes, Better Local Government and Lack of Re spect for Law. These are the matters which most affect the nation. With respect to law enforcement he said: “We are not a lawless people, but we are too frequently careless one. The multiplicity of laws, the varied possibiljti ppeals, the disposition to technicality in procedure, the % and consequent expense of litigation, which inevitably inure to the advantage of wealth and specialized « bility- all these have many times been recounted as reproaches ngaiust us” On state tax matters, which subject has occupied the presi- dout’s attention for a long time, he says: “Even now, despite the enormous increase of federal taxes from pre-war Years, state and local taxes far exceed the federal requirements. Moreover, the national burden is being continually reduced, while that of the local units is growing and likely to continue to grow.” He tells the people that “what we néed is not more fed- eral government but better local government.” The country over, this statement explains the whole situa- tion, even down to our own local affairs, ‘i What he says with reference to lack of respect for law is equally convincing: “The police force which {s administered on the assumption that the violation of some laws: may be ignored has started toward demoralization. . . . The con- clusion is inescapable that laxity of administration reacts upon public opinion, causing cynicism and loss of confidence in both law and its enforcement, and therefore in its. obsery- anes.” ‘ : There is surely wisdom in the president’s words.’ Tie na- tion should not only heed, but its citizens should act to cor- rect the faults pointed out. : v Test for La Follette A merry time is expected in the senatorial election in Wis- consin next year and La Follette who hopes to defeat Senator Lenroot for re-election will have the political test of his ca- reer, Senator Lenroot has the backing of the administration and the ‘disposal of practically all federal patronage in the state.

This {s why the Dawes.plan finally was allowed to substitute economle principles for the wighes, which up to that time had dom{pated political action. ¥ port “The United States hag in'y the same way confined {tself to wifing. Its political leaders have cof™Mned themselves to expressing this wish, without. explaining to the public the economic principles and practical facts which make the wish {mposs- {ble of realization, They have kin- dly explained these principles and facts to the French, and in the most friendly way have urged France to be sensible d to yleld to the in evitable, and to adopt the Dawes but they ve been reluctant dvise the American voters to take the medicine they prescribe for The Shepherd's Tree Huge elm, with rifted notched and sedfred, Like toa warrior's destiny!

' An Historic Problem “The Ctyll War, memories, of Whose sacrifices and heroic achieve. ments were revived on Memorial Day,” s: the New York Herald. Tribune, “grew out of an over em. phasis of state rights. Jefferson's Virginia and Kentucky ‘resolutions, Cathoun's tariff nullification pro- Bram and: the secession ordinances of 1861 were three successive phases in the exploitation of the doctrine that state sovreignty must prevail against national sovreignty, After the decision on the battlefield Federal authority grew by leaps and bounds, not only because the nation had been ‘unified in a new’ sense, © but also, because of the emergence of problems which called for a much broader exercise of national power. “There is little to fear now from an insistence on state rights and state responsibilities, The’ danger Mes in the other direction. State pride and sensitiveness are not what they used to be, The reaction has gone too far.

Almost.at the minute William EH, Knox president, of the American Bankers’ Association, was saying to his associates at Topeka, Kansas, that the.thrift.a worker shows in providing against dependency !n old age was.ns important a basis for Increase in salary as meritorious ser- vice, the, head of the tobacco com- pany was giving material response to the speaker's words. The Allotment Plan does in effect what President Knox advocated, that ts emphasize to the employe th importance of saving to have a e petency In old age.

How Plan Works ‘The ways and means of the plan provide that. An employe invests tn the preferred stock of the company on thé installment plan according to his earning capacity, The allotment is graded according to wages and salary from $1,000 to $10,000 two to twenty shares being alloted respec tively The American Tobacco company goex into the market, and buys its preferred stock ever price {t is able to secure it. It usually takes better than $106 a share to acquire the stock. This stock {s then sold to the em- ploye at what, in the end, amounts to $89.97 a share, paid for {n {natal- ments deducted from the employe’s monthly. ‘The price 1s arrived at in the fol lowing manner: An initial allot ment pri $103," This is less company pays for it. tion to this reduction, the purchaser over the period of two years In which he pays for the stock, is credited with seven quarterly dividends each, and two yearly allowances y the Company of $4 each, making $8, Against this reduction js charged 6 per cent interest on the unpaid bal ance, aggregating $5.47. This amounts to a reduction of $13.03 on the stock, bringing the cost to him at the end of two years to $89.97, Tt 1s interesting to note that fo the three following years after the than what the payment of this stock, upon presen- | tation of an employe’s certificate to the Treasurer of the company, dditional $4 per year ts allowed the employe, Of this fact the company makes no mention tn its statement of stock cost as an employe must under the plan pay for this’ stock In two years. Really though, the ac- tual cost to the employe {s $12 leas than that claimed by the Company. always provided he holds the stock for three years more. An additlonal inducement to encourage saving. Fortified Incomes The practical working out of this investment Is well Illustrated by two classes of employes. Take a man earning a thousand dollars who buys two shares. If the company con- tinues the offer consecutively, and the employe avails himself of {t con- secutive'y, for twenty allotmente, he will in the end have laid aside 40 shares of preferred stock. ‘Tho come from this stock will amounted to The total y In- in California alone.
