The letter, bless it, has just the faintest,
tinee of sour grapes lingering about its
phrases. For instance, it weeps because a
fraternity brother of the writer was not made
an Innocent and bawls out the Innocents for
tapping their own fraternity brothers.
Anyhow, we think there is a limit to the
seriousuess with which campus politicians
take these little matters. Does it really mat

Imagination
la a Great Thing.
Imagination is a great thing, according to
the somewhat naive comment of the Wash
ington Daily, reprinted in these columns this
morning, on repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment. It would have to be a great thing to
bring about, what the Daily claims for it
that is, with millionaire incomes, to driving
legalized liquor trucks for a scanty living. The
article is a comment on the statement of Dr.
Frederick X. Thrasher, professor of sociology
at New York university.
Prohibition has greatly increased the in
conm of the underworld, says Dr. Thrasher.
If prohibition were taken away, it would be
difficult to estimate the larg;: number who
would be unemployed among the criminal
classes. And along with the unemployment
of bootleg criminals would come the greatest
crime wave in the history of 1 lit country.
A bold statement that but isn't it what
is lo be expected? How can you expect boot
legging millionaires to descend to the very
low level of a common, honest truck driver'
It simply isn't done.
Such racketeers would be out for big money,
then as now. They would not even consider
wasting their efforts on the liquor game, if
it were legalized and put on a basis where
large profits could not be made from it. In
stead, they would turn to bank robbing, mail
robberies, "and many other forms of crime.
And so it seems to us the Daily is a bit
too naive, and that Dr. Thrasher is dead right
"The greatest crime wave of all time would
follow the repeal of the Eighteenth amend
ment." Unless, of course, the present crim
inals can be dealt with as severely as ihcir
crimes warrant. If law and order have a fair

College Comment
.1 Maivn Ansuvr, Maybe?
Prohibition didn't create the underworld,
but it enormously increased its income, and
the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment
would take away this income and cause unem
ployment on a ii unheard-of scale among the
criminal classes, says Dr. Frederick X.
Thrasher, professor of sociology at New ork
university, and a 'noted sociologist.
"What do you think they're going to do
then go into the grocery business?" Dr.
Thrasher asks. "The greatest crime wave of
all time would follow the repeal of the Eigh
teenth Amendment."
Would not nearly as many persons as those
whose livelihood is now being earned by boot
legging be employed in the breweries, gov
ernment ally owned or otherwise, if the present
law were repealed?
Maybe, Dr. Thrasher is thinking that those
who for several years now have participated
in unlawful establishments would rather turn
to further crime than to work in a licensed
bivwcrv.
But those who make the deliveries now at
least should be able to use a little imagination
and feel at home while driving with the no-longer-coutrnband
bottles in the back scat.

Unsung Heroes.
Whether it is known or not there are many
intrepid men and women on this campus who
go about their daily and nocturnal tasks un
heralded' and unrewarded for their efforts.
They never receive mention, that is, honorable
mention, in a college newspaper. And the
very fact that they don't is one reason why we
admire them.
We sit beside them in class these unsung
nf. ,.,. or we play tennis with Ihem. Some
times we run across them at most any hour in
the reading room of the college eat shops.

Thev are heroes, in a sense, lor they never
bother themselves with making Phi Beta

honor role. They are the lower ten per cent

because they never have cared to thrust them-
selves upward, contented as tncy are 10 ie
main in school and stomach education in gen
eral without dropping out and being called
"quitters."
They have not the incentive of leaping into
activity work, nor did they ever have an all
embracing interest in activities. Daily they
have remained sprawled in their seats during
lecture hours: the speeches of instructors
sometimes interest them but more often pain
fully irritate them, as if an undiscovered pin
were pricking them. Notes are never taken
and they have no illusions as to the future.
They know their place, and are content therein.
