Groundwork For
International Harmony
Sentimentality and prejudice
are today falling beneath the
scythe of reasoning. The time
has come when it is necessary
that we recognize the .value of
testing and comparing ideas ad
vanced by all nations. In this
age of experimentation, narrow
nationalistic pride has no place.
In its wake is dawning inter
national pride and cooperation.
Much understanding and sym
pathy between nations has been
achieved by the foreign-student
exchange system. This System
tends to develop a cosmopolitan
feeling in students themselves,
valuable in directing popular
sentiment and overcoming preju
dices. Many persons both here
and abroad have been rewarded
for exceptional merit by various
international scholarships.
Through the Fellowship for
Graduate Study Abroad, Ameri
can students are admitted to
Austria, Czechoslavakia, France,
Germany, Italy, Hungary, Spain,
and Switzerland. This year
there are seventy-nine German
students studying in America
and sixty-seven Americans in
Germany due to the Carl Schurz
Memorial Foundation. The Ober
laender Trust fund of a million
dollars is likewise to foster
friendship between Germany and
America by the exchange of stu
dents. One of the strongest of
these trusts is administered by
' the American Association of
University Women, controlling
eleven fellowships for research
work in Europe. The John
Simon Guggenheim Memorial
Foundation finances the ex
change of students between
America and Latin-America. In
addition to the above might be
mentioned the Rhodes Scholar
ships, the American Field Ser
vice Fellowships for French Uni
versities, Fellowships for French
. Universities, Fellowships for
Advanced Study Abroad, and
the American Council of Learned
Societies. Here on our campus
we have students from Austra
lia, Holland, and South Africa
. endowed by the Rockefeller
Foundation, another eminent
channel of exchange.
As these fellowships increase,
so will increase our knowledge of
other nations, and in direct Rela
tion to our knowledge will be the
increase of that understanding
most necessary to international
harmony. L.P.
Society Will '
Have Its Due
All eyes are focused upon
California. Interest in the case
of Tom Mooney, labor leader,
who has been "buried alive" for
fifteen years for conviction on
circumstantial evidence in con
nection - with bomb throwing
which killed ten people during
a Preparedness Day parade in
San Francisco during 1916, has
been re-awakened by the decis
ion of Mayor Walker of New
York to cross the continent to
make a special plea in his be
half to Governor Rolf of Cali
fornia. Once more the state of Cali
fornia has an opportunity to
right one of the most grievous
wrongs ever perpetrated by a
U. S. court. Since the convic
tion, new evidence has been un
earthed which has proven be
yond the shadow of a doubt that
Mooney was unjustly commit
ted. The disreputability of the
star witnesses for the prosecu
tion has long been established.
A tramp waiter who was a drug
addict and a cattleman who was
later proven to have been ninety
miles from the scene of the
crime, both of whom swore that
they saw Mooney toss the bomb
have since retracted their state
ments and have ' confessed 'per
jury. The judge who rendered
the verdict, nine of the ten liv
ing jurymen, the assistant dis
trict attorney who convicted
him, and the chief of the dectec
tive bureau which gathered the
evidence, have all professed their
belief that Mooney is innocent
and should be promptly par
doned. A parole has more than
once been offered this "damaged
sour but he has indignantly re
fused such a grant on the ground
that it carries with it the stig
ma of guilt. Mooney demands,
and justly so, a complete and
unprovided pardon which would
absolve him from having had
any part in the terrible affair.
Despite this mass of evidence,
the political machine of Cali
fornia has demanded that the
sentence of life imprisonment
be carried put. Rather than
admit that they had erred
originally, the "machine" in
tends to grind into dust any
small . opportunity Mooney could
still have of making something
of his life.
Mayor Walker's move to lend
his aid to the movement has
greatly encouraged" Mooney
backers. His influence, it is be
lieved, will be very great. It
is thought that chances for
Mooney's pardon have never
been brighter. However, after
reviewing all that has gone be
fore we cannot help returning
a pessimistic view; of the out
come. If this attempt falls
through, there is no doubt but
that Tom Mooney will spend the
remainder of his days in a
barred cell, a victim of society.
S.H.R.
Gentlemen,
Be Seated
With a favorable wind 1 and
good lungs, the average chapel
speaker is able to deliver about
two words which are audible to
those in the back of the room.
Blame can be laid on the acous
tics of Memorial hall, but the
confusion is enhanced by the
perpetual ebb and flow of stu
dents during the program.
Some speakers might be en
couraged by the noise of stu
dents coming in, yet few can get
much pleasure from the scuffl
ing of those going out.
Unfortunately the latter class
predominates. As soon as the
roll has been checked, the men
in aisle seats get up, make for
the doors, and usually choose
THE DAILY
the ones which squeak the loud
est. All this goes on while the
visitor is speaking, and if he
gets a response to his favorite
joke beyond row J, he is for
tunate. No one of the men, who so
boorishly disturb the peace, if
listening to the speaker pri
vately, would rush off rudely
and leave him without explan
ation. It would be a breach of
courtesy that any man could
recognize.
Assembly attendance is forced
and perhaps is a necessary evil.
That those in center seats would
also depart if they could is
doubtless true, but, in all respect
due visitors who are, as yet, un
initiated to our provincial ways
of greeting strangers, let those
students who. come remain. If
present tendencies continue, in
the near future some embar
rassed speaker will be making
his final gestures to a house of
empty seats. B.W.
Those Who Labor
Shall Be Paid
From the very dawn of - civili
zation man has evinced a great
interest in the harvesting of his
crops. From the soil and the
dint of his hard labor came food
and clothing, vital to his exist
ence. As life grew more com
plex and the social order more
complicated, the yield meant not
only a mere living but money
and power. There were better
things to be looked for and im
provements in the order, of
things to be made. From the
farms of the land came Wash
ington, Jefferson, Calhoun, Web
ster, and others who helped to
create our nation along the prin
ciple of the greatest good for
the greatest number. And the
growth of the nation depended
to a great extent on the culti
vation of the soil. An unusually
good year meant security, hap
piness, and chances for better
opportunities. Little ' wonder
that man prayed for favorable
weather, and rejoiced in the
crowded barn and the well
stocked bin.
Today we are faced with a sit
uation that has been up to the
present era unthought of. Favor
able weather and the industry of
our farmers have produced a
very large crop of life's essen
tials. But that which has al
ways brought happiness and
thanks is now a curse. Over
producton has so lowered the
values of the harvest that the
farmer's year of hard labor has
been for nothing. . He is poorer
than when he planted his' seed,
after a season of painful and
conscientious toil the farmer
finds himself thrown upon the
mercies of charities that are
neither great or welcome. And
with plenty of everything in the
land the working classes are
even worse off. Despite their
hard work and efforts to find
jobs, they too are thrown upon
the mercies of the rich. Through
faulty methods of distribution,
food and clothing materials have
been laid aside to rot, or the toil
of the masses is bringing money
into the pockets of those who
neither need or deserve it. When
a man who has not contributed
a day's labor towards the good
of the community can sit in a
warm office and gamble and de
preciate tlie life's blood of his
more industrious fellows, we
cannot hope for better than what
we now have.
There is one underlying rea
son for this state of affairs.
The people of our country in the
present time have shown less in
terest in their own government
than any civilized nation. The
task of ruling has been relegated
to a few, who are either in
capable or have violated their
trust. The average "citizen is
giving less and less attention to
government, and only when
faced with death will he stop
to ponder over who is ruling him
and how. If democracy is going
TAR HEEL
investigation and overhauling of
its principles and methods is
needed. -
While factories are springing
up throughout this state, our
I people are largely agricultural.
Three quarters ot our population
still derive their living from the
soil, and from their meagre
earnings are giving us the
chances they longed for, but
never could attain. With our
civilization up against a cru
cial test, and the welfare of our
people in the greatest jeopardy
it seems incumbent on the col
leges and universities to find a
way out. In the scientific and
scholarly atmosphere of a great
universty, free from the taints
of politics and graft, there must
exist minds capable and willing
to better the condition. With
the betterment of the farmer we
will be paying not only a great
debt, but will be paving the way
for a finer school supported by
men receiving the just rewards
of their honest labors. J.F. A.

Optional
Attendance
Dean A. D. Henderson, of An
tioch college, in outlining the
plan of optional attendance of
classes by students of that in
stitution in a recent address
here, related how the students
were given a certain quota of
work to be completed during
the semester and were left
largely to their choice as to
what method they would employ
to do this.
We Wish To Thank Our Customers For Their Patronage And To
Wish Them A Most Successful Holiday.

The Antioch experiment is an
attempt to find a means where
by a student can assume the
major responsibility for his
education. In this manner it is
left to the student how he may
employ his time to the best ad
vantage. If he needs the help
of his instructors he can attend
classes. If he does not need
this help he can spend his class
time on whatever he prefers to
do.
A good point in this plan lies
in the possibility of a few stu
dents working ahead of the
average of the class. Then, if
desired, the extra time may Je
spent in preparation of 4a sub
ject in which the student is low
orf perhaps which requires more
time for preparation. The un
derclassmen can choose the
length of time in which they
can finish the course. Indiana

CHIMES THEME-SONG
MAY AUGMENT SPEED
Dr. Harold S. Dyer of the
University music department
has in his possession a book of
songs arranged by the W. R.
Meheely company which fur
nished the bells for the Univer
sity campanile There are about
three hundred different selec
tions in this group. '..
It is interesting to note that
Hark the Sound can be played
on the chimes, and will probably
furnish the "theme song" which
will bring many a Tar Heel son
charging to his feet on a frosty
morning when prompt attend
ance at 8 :30 classes is a matter
of vital importance.

Colbert, Cooper Star
In 'His Woman' Today
Claudette Colbert and Gary
Cooper are co-starred for the
first time in talking pictures in
"His Woman," a Paramount
vehicle based on a novel, The
Sentimentalist, by Dale Collins,
playing today at the Carolina.
Miss Colbert's role is greatly
different from that of her past
hits. She has her first real
movie make-up part, with her
usually well-supplied wardrobe
reduced to the overnight grip
of a dance hall girl. Cooper has
the role that has succeeded in
making him popular, that of an
outdoor man, shy in -the pres
ence of women.
Richard. Spiro, who plays the
infant part, brings much atten
tion to himself. Other promin
ent members of the cast are
Averill Harris, Herschel May
all, Raquel Davida, Sidney Eas
ton, and Hamtree Harrington.
