It was not a feminine reader who sent ig to an editor the question, “How can a person have his name ;changed?” A despondent girl jumped from the tenth floor of a hotel window, and lived to tell of her experience. What a fallen woman! The Administration is determined up- on another spending spree. It will be ex- hilarating for awhile, and naturally en- joyable, but Oh;, what a hang-over! --- Propaganda Minister Joseph Gvebels, like Mussolini’s amanuensis Gayda, is al- ways prating about the invineibility of his government. Some day they may see this pitt to a practical test. But for the pres- ent it is best to consider that a barking dog never bites, Pianos, of all things, are in brisk de- mand, so much so that the prices have = been imereased. After all, it is quite * <natufal since everything is topsy-turvy in this mundaiie sphere. Presumably, on this besis, there will be a demand for buggies and buggy whips. But where are the horses—a horse, a hotse, an auto for a horse! ~ Freud’s first book in six years is startling in many ways. He states that Moses was an Egyptian and not a Jew; that “Mose” (child) was a popular Egyptian -nickname. The famous -psy- choanalyst further writes that Moses spoke Hebrew with an Egyptian accent, but how he determined that is an, enigma.

The apparent sole aim and object of a large minority of the profession is to | get fees, regardless of the effects of their acts upon the law and legal. system, which they neither respect, revere or seek to up- | hold. This observation has been applied to | all college and university graduates by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of | Columbia University, who deplores “the | constant graduation from colleges, and often from professional schools, of youths | of most uncertain character and shocking | ’manners, who receive academic advance- ment on the sole basis of having; in more or less mechanical fashion, complied with certain examination tests.” This eminent educator, who thinks for himself and expresses his opinions with a vigor that is refreshing whether one agrees with him or not, insists that intel- lectual tests shoud: rank third in estimat- ring the educational progress.of, a student. In the first place he puts “evidences of character building,” and in the second, “evidence of good manners and respect and concern for others.” Lacking these, Dr. Butler insists that no amount of in- tellectual performance of any kind should win advancement or graduation, GENERAL CRAIQ’S SENSE Last week General Malin Craig, Chief of Staff of the United States Army, re- tired nearly five weeks ahead of time, turning over his office to Brig. Gen. George C. Marshall, who thus began the big task of putting into effect the $522,- 000,000 arms expansion program. The relinquishment of his post was a smart thing for Gen. Craig to do but he did something that was far smarter, Said ‘he, “Pm going to California and practice keeping my mouth shut,” This resolution, coming so soon after the pitiable spectacle of Gen. Moseley be- fore the Congressional committee, gives one addéd respect for the high commander of the Army, Of course, they should not suffer because a retired officer “blows off steam” and Gen. Craig’s example will do much to remove the “bad taste” left by the ghost-seeing Moseley. MIGHT MEAN SOMETHING Of 733 men received at the Qkla- homa State Prison during the first five months of 1989, 335 were “repeaters,” or men who had served previous terms, These statistics come from the Eye- Opener, the prison publication, which points out that 220 of the prisoners had served previous terms in the Oklahoma in- stitution. Significantly, of the 220 re- peaters only 19 had studied in the prison school. These figures, it seems to The Citizen, show something. It has been said what this country needs is more “know” men and fewer “yes” men. The latter may thrive under dictatorships, all of which have but a brief existence, but democracies, to last, need “know” men. - . | Key West.
