Fw the past few years aiid especi ally during the last term we hdard continually from every 'side that Rutherford had no'spirit; that the students were a bunch of kickers;,and that everything concerning the col lege was held up for the maligning of cold-hearted student critics. Such is not the case. The late fire which consumed both the principal dormi tory and the possessions of many stu dents brought to light a spirit and morale that would do credit, to any institution in the country. It i was thought by some of the visitors that the only thing to do Would j)e to close down and let the student^ go home. . An entirely different spirit, however, was evident on all sides. There was no man, when the excite ment had died away, who did not have a cheerful grin on his face, and did not appear at classes the fcllow- ing Monday ready to begin his sxam- inations; this in spite of the fat'that many books had been lost in the' flames. When the examinations^ wire over 'and the new term began Tuesday, the 18th, practically- every student ans wered lio the roll call, and work vsas begun as if nothing had hsppenej. That is a spirit that few college; could boast of and none surpass. In spite of the fact that things are somewhat disorganized,' every man seems to be thinking of the bigger and brighter future that is looming for Rutherford; Let us keep i up, for we believe that great thingi are in store for the college. Out c£ the ishes of the old a new school is aris ing whose enlarged scope and pow3r WJl be worthy of the pride of every student. States in perpetuity the exclusi^re right to construct a canal 'by'way of the San Juan river knd Lake Nica ragua, and leased to the United States for ninety-nine years a,naval base on the Gulf' of Fonseca, with the islands! of Great. Com and Little Btitution ^provided that in' case of death or resignation of the president, the vice-president obtained to that office. S6casa Was forced to leave' the country, however, and, Chamarro- secured that office for a colleague. Corn as coaling stations. In retumP w th... " . place, unfortunately ipr Sacasa, it was to the interest of the United States to recognize Diaz as this individual had agreed to let- for these favors the United States agreed to expend the sum of $3,000,- 000 on the public debt of Nicaragua. One 'Of the persons largely re sponsible for this agp:eement was General Chamorro. ■ A few years later — in 1923 — through th epersistent urging of Sec retary Hughes the five Central Ani- erican governments met in Washing^ ton, and drew up the so-called Wash ington treaties, which, prohibited thi recognition of any government com ing into power through a coup d’ta; or a revolution against a recognizei government. Two years later, in October, 1925, t test was made of the Washingtoi treaties. General Chammorro seizei the go^iesnment by force, compellin; certain American financiers keep con- trol of certain railroad and banking:: interests, and to allow the United States to continue exploiting the- country for air of its worth. And- Sacasa represented the more liberal, republican element which is trying" to free its country from the control, of American bankers, the United States lost no time in recognizing the- conservative government. ^ The United States has committed a. crime against international law and- its sister republics. She has recog nized a government supported by a. minority faction—and American ma- the resignation of the president, Sor*?"®®’ ^^ich unquestionably orzano, and the absence of the vice-government would fail, as is evi- president from the country; and set- number of victories al- ting up a government which he hoped would receive assistance from th United States. On account of th treaties of Washington, however, th United States and Central America republics refrained from recogfniziig his government, whereby he—Chan- “I take it, you’re trying to show contempt for the court.” “No, Your Honor, I’m tiding to conceal it.”—Cincinnati Cynic Sprucing Up.—“Our mustum has acquired a new Rembrandt!” “About time, too. The oher one was getting very old!”—Ulk(Berlin). PARAGRAPHICS. Well, Weaver Hall is a thing oi the past for the time being ^t least, but the old college goes on ^th pros pects brighter than ever. What’s a mere student ?ing to do when he isn’t sure whethe'his school is going to be moved to lorganton, or Charlotte, or be rebuiHon the old site? Examinations have paed, but we are wondering how mai have been passed. No, Oswald, it was? a hot wire that caused the fire ti Weaver Hall. You should have sefi tb pictures in Craven’s and Griffirs roms. We heard that 3oach latcher left for the far sput) duringthe Christ mas holidays ^ociferody singing the triumphant strains o;“Marching Through Geoigia,” but ,me back happily humning the qnt ditty, “I’m a Ramlling Wreck '.om Geor gia Tech.” Wonder whatappened? GROSS IMPERIAUSM. A new application of the Monroe Doctrine is being made in the pres ent American policy in Nicarafua, more radical even than the policy of Roosevelt inaugurated in 1904 and known as the “Big Stick Poicy.” True there is some justification h the United States, acting as receivJr for bankrupt American Republics;,out no one can assume any justificiiion'^in the recent Coolidge - Kellog Ettitude towards Dr. Juan Sacasa, theliberal claimant to the Presidency o Nica ragua. The whole American policy is filled with injustice and represets the grossest act of imperialism nice the seizure of the Panama CanalZone by Roosevelt. The need of a caial route prompted Roosevent then o overt breaches of international Iw; and npw since the traffic througi this ca nal has become so congestei, heed of another canal has promptedthe Unit ed States to still more violat breach es of international law. In view of the fact that STicaragua offered the best location,-and also since the control of the anal zone there would aid the Unitei States in mainatining naval supremicy in the Caribbean, negotiations vere early begun with that country, A num ber of treaties were drawn up be tween 1911 and 1916, but the senate failed to ratify these; and it was not until 1916 that a .concesion treaty was finally ratified by 4ie senate. This treaty granted to .he United ready won by the Sacasa supporers.. The setting up of neutral zones, hpw-- ever, has kept the Diaz forces out of the hands of thfe enemy, the Ameri can marines even forcing the disarm ament of the guards sunrounding the government buildings at Puerto* Cabezas, the center of Sacasa’s gov- irro—handed it over to a colleagus, Sebastian Uriza, who in turn passed 1“ addition to this open, it over to AdoKo Diaz through an conservative faction, election in a "rump” Nicaraguan con-embargo on arms created some- gress. The United States sei-»\tbiru*^® ^S® was, found to be placing- opportunity to recognize the^^" ,. i . J at an extreme disadvantage,^ vative Diaz government. , Sacaia secured munitions with- _ _ J.-U T-I. out grreat difficulty from Mexico. The- Dr. Juan Sacasa, the Libera’Claim-I ® •' , u j. ■ , , j- 1 einbargo was consequently lifted, but ant, has been exceedingly un*rtunate ^ ^ ' not the ban on arms intended for the- in view of facts. In the Irst place he is the constitutional president, since it wa sonly througi force that Chamarro gained contrd of the gov ernment, compelling -'he president, Solorzano, to resign, and vice-presi- dent Sacasa to flee the country—com ing into the United States. Had Sa casa remained he could legally have claimed the presidency, since the con- Miberal government. The action of President Coolidge aii Secretary Kellog in supporting" |a ninority conservative element as- ag£nst a more liberal republican ele- men has met with much unfavorable critiism, though as yet the two have succesded in evading senatorial en- quirie.
