Foreign Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSO. DOXT OET EXCITED Michigan State Supreme Court has upheld the officials of the nate Nor mal School in expelling a wom^* student for smoking cigarettes. This is a terrible infringement of person al liberty, but somehom, we can't manage to grow excited about it. HUSBAND HUNTING California State Buerau of Vital Statistics says 31 per cent of the State's divorcees, or 7959. got mar ried last year, while oiny 13 per ! cent of the unmarried girls, or 6087. j von husbands.

Morgan, manager of { the Cincinnati Reds, was a national j figure in the national game. Base- ! ball is the great leveler in American life, cleaner and more democratic j than politics. Clerks and their ; bosses, small boys and their grand- . sires over half the continent knew ; ''Pat" Morgan and loved him for his ' Rghting pluck, his smiling good na- ; ture and his tight-lipped leadership. He was one of the greatest of mana gers, as he had been one of the head iest of players. He died in harness. ; not so very old in years, but a grizz- ; led veteran of a game which exacts : heavy toll from youth. His death brings a genuine pang to every lover of baseball. "MOB TYRANNY Dr. MacCracken, president of La fayette College, has found a new danger that threatens college men. Students in uniimrsities have been called many hard names. They were "snobs" and "wiliie* boys" in the slang of an older generation, and in the elegant argot of this hip-and eocktaii-sknkmg period are anything from "cak eat - rs to "parlor pinks." Their me:*: s and manner^ have been variously appraised—and damned. But until Dr. MacCracken suggested it the other day, no one had called them victims of "the tyranny of the mob." "The ty.enny of the mob, which is the gre.h danger ct all denocr. eies," said Dr MacCracken, "threat ens today *...' eohkgesLf this great democracy. ' He mount, as he ex plained, t ' the modern college re duces evet? r an to ore eleve]. The j remedy he s : ests'm'twofoid, name ly, the de*s<-!oi-r-.ent of creative abil ity and a "better training In sound appraisa! c: mines." CITIZENS ONf E MDKE. Presiunht ^ o'ioges act restoring citizenship to nw-n who deserted from the service wl^n "a state of war" existed on); ir< a technical sense is a concession to human nature, ever seeking change. Men who fought the enemy off his feet while the excitement og hatt)e buoyed thtm up, who endured hard ship and mud and vermin in the trenches with stoic patience, who be tween batties found respites in the back areas a heady stimulus for the excitement that was to follow, went to pieces after the armistice. The months of lexer, abating suddenly, left an ennui behind that was worse than barrages. The same curse of the restless eye and wandering foot that foiiowed men who were mustered out and sent from jtb to job, impatient of re 6'trainnt and of the orderly processes of humdrum normal life, sat with double malice on the shoulders of the men forgotten in demobilization camps. Many , deserted. Perhaps it was not home that cailed them SO much as the irksome desire for Some change, worse or better mat tered little. They deserted, and they were caught. Then came court martial and military prison, and af ter H was over the lasting stigma of lost citizenship. The presidential act of amnesty does not restore the rights of men who deserted during actual hostili ties. It holds out no hope for the Herdolls, ncr for men who are still at large, except as they shall atone for their desertion. It applies to the men who deserted between Ar mistice Day and July 2, 1921, when peace, already a bit passe, made her official debut. The war has left rancor an^. uu ! A R!FT !NTHc CLOUDS happiness enough behind it; the President removes cne unnecessary ' cause of suffering.
