STORY HARDING
For This Issue
STRIKES AGAIN.
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. Daily Cardinal.
