It is worthy of notice that Professor
Calhoun's salary at De Pauw is $2200.
That a salary so meager in these days
of high cost of living should be paid
to a professor of sociology is almost
ine redible. The fact that a professor
who uses his position to promote bol-
shevism is a bad investment at any
price is beside the mark, and does not
alter the fact that sociology and eco-
nomics should not be taught by men
whose abilities are rated so low. Fur-
ther, the routine study of these sciences
should be supplemented by frequent
lectures by the biggest men in the
fields of industry, finance and labor

“The Crimson Gardenia” is Rex
Beach’s newest novel to be given to
the cinema by Gojdwyn. When it
comes to the Hancock Theater, begin-
ning Thursday, admirers of the Amer-
ican author will be astonished at an
unsuspected phase of his story-telling
genius.
“The Crimson Gardenia” transpires
in New Orleans at the height of the
Mardi Gras. Roland Van Dam (Owen
When the adoption of the Constitution of the United States was
under discuasion the "Federalist"—written by Madison and Hamilton—
said of tht powers of States under that compact:
“The powers reserved to the several States, will extend to
all the objects, which in the ordinary course of affairs, concern
the Uvea, liberties and properties of the people; and the internal
order, improvement and prosperity of the State.**
Moved, first by considerations of commercial advantage and later
by prejudice or fanaticism, Northern leaders of anti-Democratic political
organisations championed Federal eneroachmen:s upon the powers of
the States, but it was reserved to the “Democratic** organization of to-
day, depending for its great support upon the South, to abandon finally
the doctrine of State rights and place itself on record for a degree of
centralisation of which no Federalist—unless it was Hamilton himself—
ever dreamed.

President Wilson is “swinging 'round the circle” and declaring himself
"a covenanter" who intends to fight for his covenant in or out of office,
and is being heard by large audiences snd liberally applauded. Mean
time, the covenant he contends for is losing support in the Senate, and
there seems no reason to doubt that the fight against reservations or
amendments is lost.
The “War of the Covenast" has lost its earlier appearance of a par-
tisan struggle, • but not as league supporters expected. Democrats are
quitting the ranks of the “No Reservationists" Instead of Republicans
joining them. The first day of the President’s trip Shields of Tennessee
indicated his defection; the second day camo tt announcement that Smith
of Georgia would insist on reservations to the treaty, and the third day
Simmons of North Carolins declared . similar intention. It is now claimed
that several other Southerners will follow those named.
These developments must be considered deeply significant They

The book is spirited but it is of
that sentimental school of old-time
novelists who bring us to the realiza-
tion that standards have shifted very
vitally since the days when continual
tears, s woons and fainting were
deemed a necessary and desirable ac-

mouth is an old friend of the Somer-

men finally confront one another. On
recognising his friend Pembroke is
filled with joy and immediately re-
proaches Thaddeus for never having
searched him out. It is then that So-
bieski tells him of the letters that have
been returned to him. Pembroke is
puzzled. He admits however, that his
father has always cherished a hatrel
for Poland and forbidden his son ever
to visit that country. Hence Pem-
broke has never told him of his stay
with the Sobieski family.

TThe President rightly terms the economic warfare provided for in
the League of Nations covenant “more terrible than fighting,” but
strangely enough, be calls it a “peaceful process" in the same speech (the
one at Kansas City).
It is article 16 of the leage covenant to which he has reference. It
provides that any Nation resorting to war in disregard of articles 12,
13 or 14, shall be deemed at war with other members of the league,
“which hereby undertake to subject it to the severance of all trade or
financial relations, the prohibition of all intercourse between their nation-
als and the nationals of the covenant-breaking State, and the prevention
of all financial, cemmercial or personal intercourse between the nationals
of the covenant-breaking State and the nationals of any other State,
whether a member of the league or not."
This to the obligation which the President regards as “legal.'' because
no element of judgment enters into it. If a State resorts to war to viola-
uon of the articles named, the war is a plain fact and the other members
of the league must carry out their agreement under article 16. That actu-
■ ally means war, of course, for a blockade to required, and so, it article 16
to a "legal” obligation, it legally binds all other members of the league to
make war on an offending member. And it is really more drastic than
article 10, because that article only binds members to protect each other
against aggression, while under article 16 they may be called on to punish
a member which to actually waging a defensive war.
Only a declaration of wnr in disregard of articles requiring submis-
sion of disputes to arbitration or acceptance of the league's decisions, to
turn the strength of the league against—whom? The soldiers of the
offending power? Oh, no. Against the whole people, the women and
children aa well as the men. With the benevolent purpose to prevent war
the members of the league bind themselves to starve, if possible, the “na-
tionals" of any country attempting war!
And they have no option. If a country resorts to war in disregard of
certain articles of the covenant, the other countries must begin starving
its people.
Not only must they prevent any sort of intercourse between their own
people and those of the offending State, but they undertake to prevent
any sort of mtercourse between the offending State’s people of those of
any other country, whether a member of the league or not.
Before we entered the Great War we let our people trade wherevr
they coaid, and asserted certain rights as neutrals. But the league cove-
nant abolishes neutrality, not only for its signers, but for all Nations.
Ender article 16 everything is contraband. The league assumes arbitrarily
to dictate to Nations ont of it as well as in it and to keep any article of
food or medicine, any minister to the souls or bodies or even any word
from the outside world from reaching the miserable people of an "of-
fending” country.
Sieges and blockades are terrible enough when they are but incident
to the clashes of armies and fleets—when they are conducted for advan-
tage in campaigns to be closed by men fighting men. If the thing which
teems to be contemplated by admirers of article 16 were feasible—the
reduction without fighting of an “offending" State to such misery as
would cause it to surrender—there would be substituted for open war
something infinitely more cruel.

At the present time a treat deal la
being said about educating and Ameri-
canizing our large unassimilated for-
eign population as a means of counter-
acting the germs of socialism and bol-
shevism. Therefore it is disquieting in
the extreme to learn that the remedy
is being used to spread the disease,
not among the foreign element, but
among our own sons and daughters;
that education itself is being made the
vehicle for propagating and dissemi-
nating the poison; in plain language,
that even some institutions of higher
learning are prostituting themselves to
the teaching of false and vicious social
and economic theories that undermine
the foundations of honest industry and
thrift and. carried to their conclusion,
threaten the very existence of civilised
society. It is only too evident that
there are on the faculties of some, if
not many, of the colleges and univer-
sities of our land men whose delib-
erate purpose it is to bring about in
the United States conditions such as
today obtain in Russia; further, that
in at least one proven instance, they
are there with the full knowledge and
approval of the college authorities. • • •
As a concrete illustration of what is
taking place in at least some of the
colleges of this country there is sub-
mitted herewith a letter, which, it may
be ermarked in passing, is engaging tbs
attention of the Department of Justice.
It was written by Arthur W. Calhoun,
who was recently appointed professor
of sociology at De Pauw University, an
institution situated at Greencastle, Ind.,
enrolling 800 students. The letter was
addressed to Dr. William E. Zeuch, who
recently sought to obtain a position as
instructor in sociology at either Cornell
University or the University of Minne-
-sota, having made application to both
institutions. Prior to becoming con-
nected with De Pauw, Professor Cal-
houn had held positions as instructor
in sociology at Lenox College, Hopkin-
ton. Iowa; Maryville (Tenn. College,
Clark University, and had also been a
member of the faculty of the Univer-
sity of Kentucky. Professor Zeuch has
held positions on the faculties of Clark
University and the University of In-
diana. It will be observed that in his
letter Professor Calhoun mentions sev-
eral other instructors, eitrrer now con-
nected with or seeking connection with
important universities, the context
plainly implying their sympathy with
bolshevistic doctrines. The text of
Professor Calhoun’s letter, which was
printed in full in the Chicago Tribune
of August 23, together with the facts
stated in this paragraph, is as follows:
“Dear Zeuch: I think I accept all
-Bolshevtam to Sociallam doing the
*shimmte,‛ " says an eastern lawyer.
"RedMaguer" Lenine and hla "Jaz
crew,” whether soclalista of not, are
certainly leading the poor Russians a
merry dance.
