2 THE HESPERIAN voto8 than for any truth contained in the atatomont. How any self-respecting student can promulgate any such absolutely untruth ful statomont is more than wo can under stand. Tho resolution or amendment speci fically provides that it shall not go into ef fect until tho dobato of 1897. How, in tho name of common , sonso, can an amendment which does not go into offoct until '97, harm a debater who is debating in 1895 ? If the good and righteous opposors of this resolu tion will prove how it does, TnE Hespekian will gladly cast its vote against tho measure. With this express provision, that it shall not effect any student now registered, TnE Hespekian is in favor of the amendment. Wo favor it because it is to tho interest of our association to rotate tho honor; because nothing will bring us to a more speody wind ing up of our affairs than to have some one or two mombors continually monopolizing the attention of tho public. Tho wise pro vision of tho State Oratorical Association forbidding repeaters should bo followed. UiiIobs wo do loarn from them our demise in at hand. Again, in conclusion, The Hespekian warns you, don't bo deceived by the un truthful hurt another student argument. It is safo to say that at least tho students of the law school, as a unit, regret the senti ment expressed by some in tho academic course, in condemning the circulation of a paper for the purpose of raising money to assist Mr. Foote in carrying his case to the supremo court of Oklahoma. Tho law stud ents came horo imbued with tho idoa that all men, before conviction, aro entitled to a fair and impartial trial. Therefore, this man is entitled to a roviowal of his case by tho chief tribunal. Were ho tho worst crimi nal in our land he should bo ontitlcd to this. It is not necessary to point to tho thousands of cases which have been reversed by tho supremo court, to show that thoro is a possi bility of error in this man's conviction. If thoro wore no such possibility and if ho is not entitled to tho benefit of tho doubt, our judicial system is a failuro and its decisions but a farce. Instoad of aiding or abetting crime by signing this paper, ono is doing a Christian act of charity, by assisting a fol-low-boing to receive justice and deserves praise rathor than consuro. Captain Qullfoyle and the Bon-Ton. Tho bon-ton, tho elect, tho chosen, the spotless, tho four hundred, aro in commo tion. What is tho matter ? Tho story goes as follows: a certain Baldwin is a tailor, ho is also a dancer, and president of tho Pleas ant Hour Club. Captain Guilfoylo is tho new commandant who has perhaps more knowledgo of army tactics than precaution. Not long ago tho now captain remarked that it was very surprising to him to find a tailor a mombor of a cultured socioty, tho result of which has boon that tho Pleasant Hour Club has administered a rod hot roast upon tho now commandant. What comment can wo make on such tom-foolory? Tho Pleasant Hour Club, composed as it is of members from overy honost calling of life, ought to have been self-respecting enough not to call attontion to such snobbishness, it givos a bad impres sion. And wo would suggest to Captain Guilfoylo. to sit down on a pail behind a Cali fornia borough and give a small boy a quar ter to tickle tho donkoy under its fifth rib. The Winds. The four winds met For a trysting place On a horn of the silver moon; The salt tears wet Streamed a-down each face To u inobt Iugubrous tune: "Ah woe, ah woe Its blow, its blow" "Ah me, ah me, O'er earth and sea" "Its go, its go To blow, to blow" "And every day Forever 'n aye" Mad? Mad as March hares That's what's the matter. Amy C. Hruner. $st ' I ' ' mm
