Work The Ruin of
The Drinking Class
Will Roger's comment on the
recent "beer parades" held
simultaneously over the country
is illuminating. "Then there
was 500,000 sitting - in the
'Speak - Naturalys that was
drinking beer and watching
humorously the 100,000 that
was perspiring and marching,
says' Will. The sage of Bever
ly Hills adds that "marching
for beer is exactly like taking
an umbrella with you in bath
ing."
Will might have pictured fur
ther the hundred thousand per
spirers joining the others after
the demonstration in New York
for their cold glasses of lager.
Lager did we say ? Well at least
what passes for lager in this
benighted country. It's really
ether without the wholesome
qualities of foaming munchener,
but then the depression's on
And speaking of the depression
the latest reports from the big
city have it that a glass is now
selling for twenty cents instead
of two bits. .That leaves only
two hundred per cent profit for
gangsters, politicians, and op
erators.
Wouldn't it be grand if the
federal governments could make
two hundred per cent? Shucks
This here deficit might be
wiped out in no time. But my
goodness no! Deprive these
here hard working gangsters
and moonshiners from their
money cut most of the graft
out of petty politics? Unthink
able ! Put thousands to work
and where would we get our ap
ples ? Start ' railroad cars run
ing; then what would happen
to short sellers of these stocks
on the market? Put the farm
ers to work; then what would
happen to the political parties
if they couldn't, promise farm
.relief?
Down our way we don't know
what beer is. We are men that
drink hard likker. A shot of
corn and a chaser that's the
stuff that makes us healthy,
wealthy, and drunk. Beer for
unemployment? Beer for rev
enue? Beer for temperance?
Beer? Perish the thought.

Red Faces on

The United Press should be
congratulated on its exposures
of extravagant practices of
congressmen. It has - adopted
the only effective means of se
curing economy in legislative
expenses. Editorial writers can
demand governmental economy
and congressmen can promise it,
but in the past it has been im
possible for the people to know
ust how sincerely their repre
sentatives have carried out their
promises in slashing personal
expense accounts. The only way
that Congress can be made to
begin its economy program at
home is for the newspapers to
tell how the individual members
waste the people's money.
When Representative Dumm's
constituents read that the Rep
resentative's wife gets a salary
of three thousand dollars a year
as his clerk and probably doesn't
even know the way to her hus
band's office, he is going to have
a hard time explaining just what
he meant back in the campaign
when he said, that he would see
that governmental expenditures
were "cut to the bone." When
Senator Dummer's loyal friends
back home find that the Senator,
who was elected on an "Econ
omy in Government" platform,
rides in private drawing rooms
and hires houseboats and blimps
to make Senatorial investiga
tions all at governmental ex
pense they are going to be
surprised and the ; Senator is
going to be embarrassed.
If the United Press contin
ues its policy of calling the
senators and representatives by
name and describing their "econ
omy," much of the petty graft
and stealing that makes legis
lative expenses so large a part
of our governmental costs will
be stopped. No man can stand
to be subjected to such ridicule
as certain of our less honest
congressmen have had to endure
at the Hands of the United Press.
Probably within the next two
weeks a great many congress
men's relatives will find them
selves suddenly out of their soft
jobs as secretaries, clerks, and
what not. Committee expense
accounts will probably be much
less in the near future.
It is a good job the United
Press ' is doing. Let us hope
that it will not stop with its
investigation of congressional
payrolls. There are a good many
other fields of government where
a little judicious publicity could
accomplish a great deal in the
way of reform. D.M.L.
Practical Knowledge
For the Knowledge Man
Suggestions are often made
nowadays with the object of
improving or changing the pres
ent methods and aims of colle
giate education. Frequently they
are of an extreme nature. 'Nev
ertheless, decided improvements
could be effected without a radi
cal revision of the present sys
tem, and in one direction par
ticularly could existing stand
ards be bettered.
At the present time the art
of meeting the practical, every
day difficulties of a complex,
modern life receives little atten
tion at the hands of educators.
Education supposedly fits for
adult life those subjected to its
process, but as far as the prac
tical side of living is concerned,
the only instruction offered,
other than the specialized train
ing afforded specialized and pro
fessional students, lies in the
field of theory, speculation, and
science. This latter, naturally,
has its place, but it ought not
to necessitate the exclusion of
educating students to the prac
tical art of modern living.
A striking instance of educa
tion's failure in respect to its
non-cultural aspects is presented
in the absence of any instruction
pertaining to the very impor
tant problem of consumption a
THE DAILY
problem which is of universal
significance, and is of the high
est importance both to society
and to the individual. Flocks of
college graduates are annually
turned out trained to a degree
in the production side of busi
ness, in the task of making
money; among them are numer
ous professionally trained col
lege graduates. Yet the sig
nificant art of consumption of
buying, of properly estimating
the value of goods, of relating
expenditure to income and re
lated problems are entrusted by
educators to the future for solu
tion; needless to say, they are
seldom completely or adequately
solved, if ever. The charge is
often made that Americans do
not know how to spend their
money, and it undeniably has a
just foundation.
A course affording instruction
and information on the econom
ics of consumption could well be
offered by the school of com
merce, and that not merely to
students of that school, to em
bryo business men, but to all
university students for all
could benefit by it equally, what
ever their various vocations.
The idea has received strong
support in the commerce school
of this university, and its value
and possibilities should be read
ily apparent. A great deal of
the value . of the course would
obviously depend upon its meth
od and organization, and its full
potentialities would undoubtedly
develop only with, time, but it
is certainly deserving of consid
eration and worthy of trial.

Speakers Find Freedom
Of Speech at University
(Continued from first vaae )
of permitting open hearings on
all sides of public questions gives
him the opportunity to broaden
himself along many lines, as he
could hardly do in the sheltered
confines of a classroom.
University Criticized
Occasionally conservative out
siders take issue with the views
speakers express in Chapel Hill,
and the University is criticized
for supposed abuse of liberalism
in allowing certain visitors to
lecture. Norman Thomas, ' So
cialist leader, is an example, al
though Mr. Thomas is known as
a deep .thinker, a fine lecturer,
and an honest and upright man,
who is "genuinely hated by the
Communists as being in league
"with the moneyed interests, and
who is - not an extremist at all
but a man who thinks a properly
administered Socialism might
hold out more to the country. The
University makes no apologies
for inviting Mr. Thomas, but as
a matter of fact, less than half
the .students heard him, and
these heard him after a Univer
sity professor, following the
usual policy of honest expression
and open discussion, had ex
plained his dissent from Mr.
Thomas' views while introducing
him as a thinking leader of the
other side.
The number of conservatives
invited to 'address the' student
body always outweighs the num
TAR HEEL
ber of liberals, and a check-up
of the addresses reported in The
Daily Tar Heel since Septem
ber shows that the only speakers,
besides Norman Thomas, who
could be classed as radicals are
Langston Hughes, negro author,
listed in Who's Who; E. S. Fra
ley, a radical speaker, and Mar
cus Graham,-editor of An An
thology of Revolutionary Poetry,
and possibly Michael Gold, edi
tor of New Masses. The latter
two were brought to the campus
by the John Reed Club, which has
two student members as com
pared with the eight members
claimed by the socialist club.
Hughes, brought here by the Y.
M. C. A., did exactly as request-.
ed and told a humorous story of
his life, sketching the way he
turned to a career of writing
with becoming modesty, before
an audience which numbered less
than ten per cent of the student
body.
Negro Will Not Return
It was unfortunate indeed that
he had an objectionable poem, in
spired by the Scottsboro case, to
appear in that morning's issue
of Contempo, a publication edit
ed by a group of young men who
have no connection with the Uni
versity. It is clear, in the light
of its regret over what happened,
that the administration will not
want any University organiza
tion to bring Hughes back, but
the incident in no way changes
the University's policy of free
speech and an open forum. Presi
dent Graham; in fact, will say
today that he would rather be
left standing with the Davie Pop
lar alone in a deserted village,
than to make any promises as to
who will be permitted and who
will be refused the opportunity
to speak here in the future.
The best picture of University
lectures and their great benefit
to students can be drawn only
by a composite survey of the
the speakers and their connec
tions. The list is taken from ad
dresses and lectures reported in
The Daily Tar Heel since Sep
tember, and is complete except
that lack of space forbids the
possibility of including faculty
members and convention speak
ers, many of whom have brought
most excellent messages to stu
dents. The roster follows:
