With that training they stand better chances those who have it not. all too common impression, they didn't merely ceive it, they had to work for what they got. Some who started even with the successful ones—fell out from various causes. But to those who stuck, the diplomas awarded last night represent their perseverance, intelligence and industry. The Em- pire congratulates them on their success and wishes for them a continuance of it in the years that| are yet to come. | REPUBLICANS SPRING | SURPRISES. The action of the Washington State Republi-| cans in convention at Bellingham recently in adopt- | ing a wet plank came as a surprise to political | observers of that State as they had predicted that the Drys would control the convention. And it was forecast that any effort to put the convention on record by offering a direct resolution would be de- feated by an ‘overwhelming Dry majority. King County delegates, instructed by a county convention to support a modification resolution, not only abided by that direction but they went even farther when‘ they mustered sufficient strength to force Lheir‘ resolution through the State gathering. The Republicans also spoke out courageously on the Direct Primary Law of the State. The plank calling for nomination of candidates without interference from the primary statute calls atten-| tion to a system that many believe to be the suurce‘ of several of the evils that beset both State and| National governments. Certainly with the advent| of the direct primary system, the traditional prin- cipal of party responsibility went by the boards | Party labels now plaster a heterogenous aggregation | of individuals and mean less than nothing. With such a situation confronting them, the average voter has come to take little interest in political ques-| tions and the ancient and nearly. always honorable calling of the politician has fallen into rather more disrepute than less. Many students have concluded that only abandonment of the direct primary will resuscitate popular and intelligent interest in politi- | cal questions in a measure that will bring about better administration of all government. This, ap+ parently, is the position assumed by the Washing- ton State Republicans. In adopting a resolution opposing entry of the United States into the World Court, the Republi- cans deserted the banner of President Hoover. He | is insistent that America’s duty lies within the World Court rather than selfishly standing aloof. His own party will have none of it and most of his support on his World Court stand comes from the opposition party. It was predicted by Washington newspapers that, | regardless of what the Bellingham gathering did, its actions would be forgotten by the rank and file of the party within a week from the time the con- vention adjourned. In view of the surprising upset of the Drys, the attack on the direct primary system and the thumbs down attitude of the World Court, we predict that it will be a widely ‘“cussed” and discussed meeting before the State primaries are held later this summer. WASHINGTO PULITZER PRIZES AWARDED. Nine Pulitizer prizes in letters and journalism for 1930 were awarded recently by trustees of Co- lumbia University on the recommendation of the| advisory board of the School of Journalism. A first novel won the coveted award for rep- resenting best “the whole atmosphere of Ameri- can life” It was “Laughing Boy,” written by Oliver La Farge, 28-year-old author of New received $1,000 for this work. Marc Connelley's “Green Pastures,” which has proved most popular in New York; won the $1,000| prize for the original American play performed in| New York which best represented the educational value and power of the stage. The $2,000 award, posthumous in “the best book of the year on the United States” went to Dr. University of Michigan, for “War of Independence.” Dr. Van Tyne died last March. “The Raven—A Biography of Sam Houston," was adjudged the best American biography portraying “patriotic and unselfish services to the people, {llustrated by an emminent example, excluding such this case, for history of the| conveyances carried passengers and their swarming 'baggage along crudely beaten paths. portation in armored trucks, bristling with revolver- laden of being among the leaders than protection on longer journeys, Contrary to a sometimes|of bonding companies and insurance policies. lery from the breathless, \Pony Express! |in 18 hours or better, 865 days in the year. |three |cerns can utilize the air for their comparntlvely‘ jtion of this new service at any rates within reason. |years and humanity with it. }verses the “innumerbilis annoroum series” and the |countenance of those whom men most wish to re-| York, who [greater than literary fame, which was aid a cen- | Jlaud H.

The Bronze Age. ! (New York Times.)

Professor Jeans has just predicted that the earth will continue something like two billion We are now cele-| brating the two thousandth anniversary of Vergil. | Will his fame, or that of Horace, who defied in his “fuga temporum,” last through a million such mil- lennials? How long the bronzes which were yes- terday added to the company that stand along the corridor in the Hall of Fame on University Heigths will endure, the physicist or the chemist or the, archaeologist can perhaps tell us, but how far thel fame of those they remember will last no historian | or critic can prophesy.
