When Dean Spencer named for the Presidency, there was head-shaking over the obstacles that would his administration We venture to say President Spencer already support of his student body., The he was accorded in his forceful handling of the recent Zioncheck situation proves this. What are the essentials of a university presi- | dent? A sane, open-minded viewpoint; a cul-| tural background: a well-rounded training; dig- ity; diplomacy in the finer sense; an attitude of sincere democracy. Presigemt ;‘Spencer has shown in his past record that he possesses these necessary attributes. His inaugural address sets forth clear thought | |ana sound policy.

(Manchester, Eng., Guardian.) The protests that were immediately excited by a recent inflammatory speech of an American Admiral had a greater political significance than the speech itself. Prophecies of war in aft speeches by Admirals who are press- for an immensely increased expenditure on armaments will be accepted nowhere as the authentic voice of the people. More inte esting is the argument that the gallant Admi used to justify his prophecy: It is competition, gentlemen. It is economic in its origin, and as long as we proceed along the lines which we are traveling today war 18 absolutely inevitable. This theory that commercial competition the root cause of wars is a favorite one with military _ and naval politicians, Business men, who actually engage in commercial competition, are less prone to it, partly, perhaps, because they fine domestic and imperial competition as incon- venient as foreign competition, partly, perhaps, because a sense of proportion and responsibility will not let them contemplate sending hundreds of thousands of their fellow-coantrymen to death for the sake of a transient and uncertain im- provement in a profit and loss account, Why, then, do the fire-eaters stress the economic mo- tive so much more than the ecomomic practition- ers themselves? We need not doubt their sin- cerity. Can it be that in the bottom of their hearts they realize that war, their vocation, is irrational, and uncons iously they seek a rational Justification for it as an instrument of commer- cial competition? There is, no doubt, a mass of history and worse economies that can be cited in their support; but Europe, at any rate, has had too recent and too thorough an exper- ience of what war means to be persuaded by the most eloquent of Admirals that it can ever be good business, is recently fined a barber $100 drunk People wondered why the barber was fined that much until they found out that he shaved the Judge regularly and talked while His Honor tried to sleep.— (Florida Times-Union.)
