The Tnited States seems again in the throes of strikes in all nades and we wonder often whether some people will ever be satis fied with what they have, .'radically ninety per cent of the Kansas miners have be. n out on strike and now the railroad men are rising up in arms against capital. There seems to exist no respect for the terms of a settled agreement for no one abides by the terms. In these latest strikes, even some of the more prominent union men have trid to step in and prevent the men from walking out. for their actions have been unauthorized, but in vain were their efforts. The question is: are we going to have suffering and hard times following these conditions? Must we live forever under the fear of scarcity of labor, materials and the necessities of -life? It. was prophesied that the world would be much better after the war. and I he general feeling was that such an agonizing conflict would bring humanity to its senses long enough to right things. There must be some wav to regulate present conditions, for we can have bad times or not as we want them. The Dearborn Independent on this subject pnvs- "We are not compelled to have economic distress unless we want it The United States can hardly suffer if it will produce what it needs to live on." And perhaps we might add that we could all assume a less selfish attitude and try for a while to bring the topsy turvey world back to normal before we set nut to again subject .! to our demands and desires. A LIBRARIAN'S LAMENT. Some dav the college lib. trian of DePauw or any other like insti tution mav be inspired to parody that plaintive ditty entitled "Oh where is my wandering boy tonight" in something of the following manner: "Oh where are my wandering books tonight, the books of my pride and joy?" And from the campus darkness the winds may waft this answer to the librarian's ear. "Seek ye in the fraternity and sorority houses for there they books are resting." It is one of the peculiarities of college students that library books hold a fascination which no other books ever hold. A student seem ingly can't bear the thought of finishing his collateral reading and then returning the book to the library shelves. But with the clinging propensity of a leech he grasps the book firmly under his arm and wends his homeward way to leave the piece of literature thereafter untouched in some corner of his fraternity house. Some one has suggested that the librarian should obtain a search warrant and conduct an investigation in every house of residence on the campus with the result that the library might find itself the possessor of several hundred books which now are classed as "missing." And yet this seems a poor way to instill into the men and women of the campus a realization that library books are not their books and that college property is not private property. Such a spirit can not be created bv any manner of law. It must be both born and fostered by the student body. It should not be only an offense against college regulation to take a book from the library with no intention of returning it; but it should be an offense against the student body. Tor it is high crime and misdemeanor against every man and woman in DePauw for anyone to deliberately appropriate that which is common property. DePauw Dally. STUDENTS AND RELIGION. "Is religion a phantom or does it serve an actual need in student life" queried President Burton, of the University of Minnesota, in firing the opening broadside of the all-university religious conference yesterday afternoon. Not one of the thousands of students who jammed the armory to its doors could help feeling, when that inspiring talk was concluded, that religion does serve an actual need; that it ought to be permitted to establish its sovereignty in the lives of all peoples. In considering the question in its widest aspect it must be re membered that certain factors are at work to throw aside all ob stacles in order that the person who seeks higher education may occupy the limelight. The state gives a great university, parents give financial support, and the public at large gives a willing sanction. If however, the seeker of higher education wants to properly reciprocate and make his mark he must refrain from looking at life in its detached forms. Successful resistance of what has-been termed the temptations of life needs some source of inspiration. That source is religion. But it is not the religion which calls for beliefs or creeds. It is the religion which is just as scientific and just as close to the realities of life as anything known to man. It is the religion, as Dr. Burton emphasized, which is. first of all. a fact. In short. It is the friendship with God. The student who fails to comprehend the importance of the sub ject, when it is stripped of all its artificiality, has missed a vital factor. In this we are substantiated by the fact that receptive, mentally flexible, and independent men are the need of the hour In America. A religious background will be the greatest bulwark to insure the much sought-for success.
