Tuesday, October 6, 1931 Hymn To Anglican Supremacy In times of stress the best and the worst of human nature comes to the surface. Likewise in governing nations, when eco nomic ailments upset the usual run of things, the inherent qualities of each respective race are evident. Thus it is that we may justly sing a hymn of praise to the, Anglo-Saxon race, no matter how much this theory may have been repudiated in bet ter times. For, instead of in dulging in aimless revolutions in bors, America and England are weaving themselves out of the legitimate and effective man ners. The most recent exemplum of this attitude in the United States is the list of seven proposals made by William Green, presi dent of the American Federa tion of Labor, at the opening of the fifty-first congress of the federation in Vancouver. Green represents the labor demands of the country, and is therefore classed among the radical ele ments in modern politics. But his proposed program, instead of -consisting of far-flung meas ures based on abruptly radical theories, is in reality a prac tical suggestion that will aid in dustryin overcoming present difficulties, being merely an ex tension of the trend which the government is now taking. The proposals are : 1. National conference of laborers and em ployers to be called by President Hoover to devise means of di viding all available work among all workers. 2. Immediate inauguration of the five-day week and shorter work day in all public and pri vate industry. 1 " j 3. Maintenance of the wage structure and the wage stand ard. 4. Work assurance, a guaran tee to the employed that they are secure in their positions. 4. Prohibition of child labor. 6. Stabilization of industry with particular reference to in dustries classified as seasonal. 7. Scientific regulation of pro duction to balance supply and de mand. There is certainly nothing radical about this program. The government has already initi ated some of these reforms in a different guise, so no sudden de parture from established prec edents will be necessary. Reform in England is regulat ed along the same orderly line, despite infrequent demonstra tions provoked by communist agitators. In neither country is anything threatened that can compare with the political tur moil in Spain and in South America. . Truly we should thank our progenitors for beget ting us into our race. For, by being in it we escape having our throats cut, our homes burned, and our government overthrown every other week and still have a chance to effect reforms in our own way! W.V.S. The Best Friends Prevail Cigarette sales are reported on the decline. Can it be that the tobacco industry has experienced a moral awakening? It is with this question that the reader of newspapers and magazines not to mention the suffering ra dio listener is responding to the weird devices lately em ployed by cigarette advertisers. On every hand he is confront ed with assertions that tobacco contains harmful ingredients. Again and again he is warned, nay entreated, to consider his larynx. Evidently sonous alka loid, nicotine, is not the ideal lubricant for vocal mechanisms. The reader can hardly doubt these asseverations. They are made by the manufacturers of cigarettes. Manufacfurers should and probably do, know what they are talking about. The reader now decides that tobacco is all right in its place. But he also concludes that its place is in strong chemical com pounds and not in products in tended for human consumption. He remembers now that his med ical advisers regard the weed as an agency of throat contamina tion. Cigarette advertising Ijas made this perturbingly clear. However, it has neglected to ad vise directly against the use of tobacco. It feels a word to the wise is sufficient. After all the reader has been told that even the "harsh irri tants" can be removed from raw tobaccos by judicious toasting. The reader now sighs either with disappointment or relief and agrees that tobacco is bad stuff when it is not toasted. But wait what's this V Oth er manufacturers declare the harmful element in the tobacco is caused by drying or toasting. "By Jove" this is indeed per plexing. , But not yet have the cigarette advertisers told all. Another feels duty bound to come out with his warning. This time the cry is against ash-tray breath. Here the reader is exhorted to keep himself sweet and clean. All this concern for his wel fare is, of course, deeply appre ciated by the reader. It is ob vious to him that the tobacco companies are spending vast for tunes weekly to warn him against the other's product. , Statistics show that th6 weed is oil the decline., It looks as though the tobacco companies are carrying on an anti-tobacco campaign. At any rate, when the combined statements of to bacco manufacturers are con sidered, the public will be amp ly warned against the evil 'ef fects of cigarettes. A.W.MacJL. THE DAILY Sir Thomas Lipton Today the sportsmen of the world are grieving over the death of Sir Thomas Lipton known as "the world's best loser." During the latter part of his life Sir Thomas spent thousands of dollars, as well as much of his time in an attempt to regain for England the na tional yachting cup. Each year he was defeated, yet each follow ing year he was back to try again. Despite . his numerous trials for the cup, he failed, but in so doing he won for himself a name which will long be re membered in sportsdom Sir Thomas Lipton, a good loser. It is the usual sports story for a victory to come to a man after continued defeat. One is to be admired for his determination to stick until he has conquered. But in the case of Sir Thomas, allof his trials "were defeat. Not once in his continued efforts did he win, yet he was always will ing to try once more. Dozens of examples can be given of men who have won af ter battling defeat time after time. Only recently Francis Ouimet, after being beaten year after year, made a wonderful come-back to win the national amateur golfing title. Other similar incidents could be point ed out in sports' history. With regard to Sir Thomas Lipton, however, there is some thing - different. These other men were merely admired for their grim determination, but with Sir Thomas, it was not his determination as much as it was his ability to lose with a smile, that brought him his cherished reputation. He was able to "meet with Triumph and Disas ter, and treat those two impos- ters just the same." In all his sporting career he always went down with a smile, only to come up again still smiling.

These conditions form the back ground of the play. The opera is supposedly writ ten by a beggar and to be receiv ing its first performance at the hands of a professional com pany. The beggar is introduced to his audience at the beginning of the play and we see him again at the close when he in terrupts" the plot to rescue the hero from the gallows. Love Plot The love plot centers around Captain MacHeath, the high wayman hero. Two girls, Polly Peachum, the informer's daugh ter, and Lucy Lockett, the daughter of the jailer, are rivals for his love. The play, since it deals .with the despised criminal class was a 'distinct shock to the London society of the time, accustomed only to artistocratic plays. Nevertheless, it "took." Its humor gave its audiences a good laugh. The Beggar's Opera is writ ten in the manner of the Italian operas of the time. For the music, Gay took the popular tunes of the day. One trouble with the bride is that she can't help comparing the man she married with the one who got away. Dallas News. X 1 1 W. -C.T.U. Say Wine -Bricks Are Illegal The W. C. T.
