Education at Its Height GAIN do we find ourselves awed by the wonderful linguistic attainments that characterize those who are so fortunate as to absorb a modern college education, This time the Columbia Missourian, published at that justly famous seat of learning, the University of Missouri, hands us some illuminating interpretations of a new language that is common on the campus but, up to this moment, has been denied those of us who thirst for knowledge. When a student attends a jazz dance there, he calls it a “struggle” wherein they “move the piano.” The fair co-eds are divided into distinct classes according to their pep and pulchritude, and are known variously as “weak sisters,” “flat tires,” “dilley croc utches,” “loads of coal,” “duds,” “whole baskets of fruit,” ete., while one who goes with a young man only for what he may spend on her is identified by the classic name of “digger.” If a student borrows money he “writes wooden chi If he receives a remittance from struggling and self-sacri- ficing papa back home, it is “a chip off the old block.” They have “keen times,” attend “keen dances,” enjoy “keen music,” and feast their amorous eyes on “keen little models,” at old Missou, A call to the dean’s office is a “valentine” and if they are a bit lax in drawing social distinctions, they known as “carpet-sweepers”—“‘just like irpet-sweeper, y'know, pick up everything they And, if they fail in exams, they refer to it as a k to the farm movement,” “tell mother I'll be there,” or “homeward bound.” And more and more of the same. Is there one now who speaks in dubious terms of the height of higher education? If so, he is not from Mis- souri and refuses to be shown. are Attacking Free Speech HEN holas Murray Butler voiced his belief that prohibition, as exemplified in this country under the constitution and the Volstead law, is a failure and worse, he probably had no conception of the hullabaloo that was to roar around his old, gray head. He knows more about it now. Dr. Butler’s mail, we are told, is flooded daily with de- nunciation and threats, prohibition advocates and “en- forcers” ridicule him, the anti-salconists publicly wallop him and all the forces that stand for the control of thirst by law are demanding his dismissal from his post or some other punishment equally as discomfitting and humiliat- ing. No one has attempted to reason with the free-lipped doctor. No one has attempted to present arguments show- ing that his conclusions are not based on sound premises. All appeals have been to the bludgeon, the purpose being ie to reform the doctor, but to silence him and punish im. Free speech always meets that sort of attitude and oppo- sition in this country, whose very foundation it is. It will survive, however, against the assaults of those of narrow mind and small soul, because it is born of brains. Did You Get Yours? HE income of the American people last year averaged about $650 apiece, according to Mechanics & Metals National Bank of New York. It estimates that 70 billion cellars was the total income of the whole nation—includ- ing wages, salaries, royalties, interest on investments, etc. On this basis, a man and wife with two children would have had an income of $2,600 during 1923, if everything were evenly divided. That's about $217 a month. Did your family do better or lag behind the average? We Are Wasters HE fire losses in the United States during 1923 were $508,000,000—the greatest amount of any year since San Francisco burned. Strikes and lockouts in this country are reported to have cost more than $12,500,000,000 since 1916. We call ourselves a civilized nation—a nation of com- mon sense and high endeavor. Against our claim place the above figures of the destruction that we continually engage in, and we are condemned and humiliated. The simple truth is that we are gross and criminal wasters. Scraps of Paper LONDON court decision admits the worthlessness of 120 million dollars worth of Confederate bonds sold in England by the Southern states during the civil war. Most of us believed that any sane man years ago realized the worthlessness of these bonds. But the British never lost hope of recovering at least part of their investment, Later you may read about courts admitting the utter worthlessness of Russian rubles and German paper marks. Confederate bonds and money today are worth far more than Russian and German currency, as historical relies, The Indicator TT NREIGHT handled by the railroads continues climbing steadily. Recovering from the slump early in April. So far this year, the roads have loaded almost exactly as many loaded freight cars as in the corresponding period a year ago. This sort of news is fundamental, shows the way the wind is blowing. It neutralizes temporary Slumps in some industries, for it indicates that recovery lies ahead, Busi- ness men don’t buy what comes in freight cars unless they expect to have customers for it.
