THE INVISIBLE EMPIRE"
The Ku Klux Klan held a pre-elec
tion meeting in College View Mon
day evening, The Lincoln Star in
forms us. Nothing more vas done
at the meeting than to discuss in a
general way the qualifications of each
candidate for office, Klansmcn said
afterward to newspapermen. The
journalists were not admitted, how
ever. "The Invisible Empire" is evident
ly an apt title for the Klan. The
fact that qualifications of the candi
dates were discussed is enough to
show that some judgment was passed
on each one. No "klan ticket" may
have been declared as such, but
everyone who attended the meeting
probably came away with definite
knowledge of the wishes of his super
iors in the organization.
With this apparent evidence, the
Klan can hardly be called an Ameri
can organization. The whole govern
ment of the body, it is well known,
is from the top down. The Klan is
an empire indeed, and an empire that
wields the balance of power within
the Republic.
Some evidence of this power is
seen in the outcome of the presiden
tial election. President Coolidge,
probably through habitual silence.
failed to declare himself for or
against the Klan, while his two oppo
nents denounced the organization.
The vote, which would ordinarily
have been close with three strong
parties in the field, was overwhelm
ingly for the President.
The College Press
THESE MUSHROOMS.
After the pause of the war, regis
tration in colleges throughout the
country again resumed the upward
climb of the years before, and in the
past few seasons has indicated that
it would soon rise to even greater
heights. Almost every college in the
country has had its registration prob
lem. Not even the smallest has been
exempt
Figures for this year show, Presi
dent Thompson says, that Ohio State
University is the fourth largest uni
versity in the country, and is the
second largest in the Big Ten. He
predicts also that in 1932, eight years
from now. the enrollment here will
be 15,000.
Is there no way of stopping this
march of the young collegeward?
Or should it be stopped? Must the
state, in this instance, continue to
build for the increasing numbers
year after year until the point of sat
uration is reached? And where u
the point of saturation?
Far sighted colleges have decided
that it is a hopeless task to endeavor
to keep pace with the increasing
numbers who seek admittance. Even
this year Princeton admitted only
600 of 2,000 freshmen who applied
for entrance. Other schools are do
ing the same thing. Realizing they
must stop somewhere, they have
chosen to stop of their own accord.
They believe that too large an enroll
ment is so cumbersome that much of
the value of college is lost
We shall be proud to boast our as
sociation with the fourth largest
chool in the country. At the same
time we hope some steps will be tak
en to protect the institution from the
plague of numbers alone. Admitting
all arguments for mass education,
there is still a limit to enrollment be-
yound which a college cannot func
tion properly. Some consideration
should be paid to the quality of the
school as well as to the quantity of
the students. Ohio State Lantern.
PROGRESS OR REACTION?
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi
dent of Columbia University, recently
launched another attack on the
Eighteenth amendment in which his
charges were broader. In addressing
the Institute of Arts and Sciences in
the McMillin Academic Theatre, Col
nbia University, he said "The New
American revolution is reaction, not
progress," New York papers report
He included in his speech statements
to the effect that the Fifteenth
amendment, guaranteeing the poli
tical rights of negroes, is no longer
being enforced because it is unen
forcable. The child labor amend
ment, recently given to the states for
ratification, is another example of
the increasing centralized control of
the government into a "novel form
of despotism in which now a majority
and now various minorities will wreak
their will on all that most intimately
concerns the individual, the family,
the community and the state."
Dr. Butler's speech reminds us of
a conference held in Washington last
year at which prohibitionists claimed
to have unearthed the fact that an
organized effort was being made by
the "wets" to make the Eighteenth
amendment nnenforcable. Three
classes were to be appealed to, it was
said day laborers, negroes and stu
dents. Dr. Butler's statements sound
amazingly like an appeal to students
to secure repeal of the Eighteenth
amendment
A man as respected as Dr. Butler,
. however, cannot be accused of merce
nary interests; there Is considerable
more than a grain of truth in his
reasoning. Federal control must stop
somewhere if we are to continue
under a republican government The
question is merely where it shall be
topped.
It was decided once by the nation
that the use of intoxicating liquors
for beverage purposes is harmful to
society. In a similar way it had been
decided before that gambling is a
vice. To quote from such a
disinterested authority as Prof. F.
W. Taussig f Harvard Uni
versity, "It is certain that an
immense amount of misery and
vice comes from the widespread use
f strong liquors; that the diminu
tion in their consumption in the last
generation or two had brought better
ment for mankind; and that the
world would be a much nicer place if
drunkenness could be stamped out"
The world is much happier with
theft, blackmail, trson and so on,
prohibited by lw. While this nation
forbids gambling, other countries

One Effect of Co-Education.
In view of late discussions upon
college and university life which have
been appearing in this column it is
only fair to present dissenting and j
derogatory opinion upon these same
subjects, as well as those in com-1
mendation. The following opposition
to coeducation is made upon an en
tirely new ground, all other objec
tions, apparently, having been over
worked and abandoned.
An article written by Rollo Walter
Brown, nationally-known educator, i
directed against coeducation on the
basis that it is making men less hu
mane. He admits that the argument
no longer holds that coeducation is
wrong because it brings young men
and women together without the stea
dying restraints of home. As a mat
ter of fact, he says further, Ameri
boys and girls of pre-eollege age are
not to be found at home very much,
and are not much restrained when
they are there, so that college makes
no difference in this regard. On the
contrary, it happens that there aie
often more restraints in college than
out of it Nor does the writer be
lieve that separate colleges are more
effective in this matter than are coed
ucational institutions.
But, says Mr. Brown, the influence
of coeducation itself, is pernicious. It
is his contention that this influence
nwrks off the field of knowledge in
an artificial way which is detrimental
to men. In separate colleges, men and
women follow the work of their pref
erence, he explains. That is, they
take the courses in which they are
personally interested or have a natur
al desire to study, hile in coeduca
tional colleges they take those which
are conceded to be primarily for men
or primarily for women.
The subjects that are usually re
garded as humane that deal with
man's self expression, such as liter
ature, fine arts, languages and in
some cases histories, have come to
V j ...
rctugrnzea as suDjects of a wo
manish character, says Mr. Brown,
probably because of the tendency of
women to elect them, and on account
of this the men in coeducational nni
versities avoid them as "soft or sis
terly."
To prove his assertions, Mr. Brown
goes on to show that in purely men's
colleges the "humane" courses are
Kuuiai, Buinuing aoout tnira or
fourth in numbers enrolled, and that
where there is co-education the num
ber of men taking these courses is al
most a minus quantity.
The validity of Mr. Brown's con
tentions is not doubted. However,
there is room for doubt as to the vital
import of his discovery. Syracuse
