1 Revival of the Magazine. . . f Some further Remarks upon the Opposition. I iQar 011 a jotir les fous 1 Plus de fitie que de courroux. " A champion of the minority in the Dialectic Society, which minority a short while since defeated the .re vival of the magazine, makes his ap pearance this week in another column- The casus belli is an article con tained in last week's issue of the Tar HEEL embodying- a just criti cism of those members of the soci ety opposing the publication of the magazine. No more complete verifi cation of the statements included in the article of last week's issue could be desired than. that of "A Card." The writer of "A Card" makes the singular and unwarranted mis take of assuming- that the element represented by himself constitutes be Dialectic Society. Based upon this false premise is an attempted de fence of the Society, by which, from the point of view of the writer men tioned, is meant the minority form ing the opposition. No sophistry' could be plainer. Yet the mistake is natural and egotistic. Unfortu nately for this view of the matter however, there is little doubt but that the majority of the members of the Dialectic Society will disclaim such championship and representa tion. This is well indicated by the vote on the report of the committee, upon Which occasion the writer of "A Card" sided with the minority and opposition. Clearly then, not the Dialectic Society, but the oppo sition to the Magazine is here rep resented. The absurd argument that the Di alectic Society, "an exclusive or ganization" is not subject to criti cism bears with it the ear-marks of idiocy. It furthermore fails of ap plication, since criticism was direct ed, not against the Dialectic Society, but against a minority of its mem bers, who, a clog and hindrance upon the development of the society and the fulfillment of the purposes of its organization, for the present endeavor to render impossible the re-establishment of the magazine. Whether the minority of the Dia lectic Society is subject to criticism or not, it seems just at this time to have received quite a deal of it. Which is decidtdly the more evident fact with which the minority has to contend. The champion aforementioned concludes his article with a threat of continued opposition, a fitting conclusion. . The cost of publication is an ob jection advanced against the maga zine. It . has all the indicia of subterfuge, as may easily appear. The estimates offered by the oppo sition are either exaggerated by ex treme ignorance ' or actuated by prejudice, perhaps both. The old magazine was needlessly expensive. The cost based upon careful consid eration need not exceed fifty dollars an issue, six numbers of the maga zine necessitating an annual expense f three hundred dollars. Of this amount it was suggested that each member of the society be assessed one dollar for the support of the maga zine, which was in fact no more than a subscription. This would have realized one hundred and fifty dol ors from the two societies, with a like sum to be secured by advertise ment and subscription. But waiv ing the matter of income except that from the two societies, it may not be denied that three issues of the magazine are better than none at all. And yet on the side of the oppo sition most mournfully melancholic prophesies are made in regard to ''six hundred dollar" debts. Surely it is reasonable to suppose that the societies may regulate the appear ance of the magazine, should it drift toward indebtedness, , And when these members of the Dialectic Society are asked to sub scribe to the magazine, their just in dignation and wrath is incontrolla ble!. The truth of the matter is that the college pride posessed by this element is that which in the society halls gives expression to it self only in flowery platitudes van ishing "into thin air." When called upon for a more substantial proof of its existence it clutches tightly its pocket-book and shrieks for the police. It seems one of the more serious arguments of the opposing faction, that if the Magazine be published by the societies, a portion of the credit of its publication will fall to the other students of the University. Still the charge of selfishness i s most vehemently denied. The publication of a magazine is as much a part of the purpose of the literary societies as the debate itself; and when they fail in its sup port it is simply an evasion of clear duty. There exists no right of its publication by any other University organization. As for the enemies of the Maga zine, as old Johnson has it, "I have found you an argument, I am not obliged to find you an understand ing." Which might prove difficult indeed. S. S. Lamb.
