C, JANUARY 29, 1920\nNumber 14\nWomen's Undergrad.\nEntertainment\n\"HIGH JINKS\" PROVES GREAT\nSUCCESS\nEight p.m., and the stage is set. The\nbenches have been temporarily exiled\nfrom the Auditorium; the last slippery\ntouch has been administered to the\nfloor, and everything waits. For this is\nthe night of High Jinks; and the peals\nof laughter, dimly heard from the distant entrance, foretell a time of revelry\n'mid the women of the 'Varsity.\nAnd now they arrive. An incongruous\nmedley of masqueraders pays the requisite tribute of two precious lumps of\nsugar each at the door. Gipsies wander\ndown the corridors with flower girls and\nbrigands. Gay young blades \"swank\"\naround' to the admiring plaudits of less\nambitious companions. Shrieks of merriment in the corridor draw everyone\nnear to the door to watch the sensational advance of some particularly\noriginal reveller.\n\"On with the dance!\" With the advent of the pianist, the assortment of\nbrilliant costumes becomes a mad whirl\nof colors, nationalities and centuries.\nHilda, from Holland, finds the conversation of American youth sufficiently intelligible for interest and amusement.\nBut stay! What is happening in the\ncentre of the room? At first-class cake-\nwalk, performed by a gentleman from\nDixie and his fair, though dusky, partner, holds the attention of all around.\nBut the music is irresistable, and the\nvarious couples swing back in a circle\nof the floor. At the far end, a very chic\nyoung damsel-straight from Paris is the\ncynosure of all eyes. Near by is an\nescaped convict who has ventured forth\nto join the throng; while the 'Varsity\ntwins, with their respective labels of\n\"Freshette\" and \"Freshie,\" gaze in innocent wonder at some of their more\nsophisticated neighbors.\nThe evening is drawing to a close, and\nMiss Mclnnes is ready to award the\nprizes for the most successful costumes.\nBashfully the winners approach the platform: Miss Gilley, Miss Elliott, Miss\nMcLennan, and \"the\" twins\u00E2\u0080\u0094Misses\nCope and Nicol. With the \"home waltz\"\ncomes the ubiquitous janitor with broom\nand shovel, and lo! the long-anticipated\nand much-talked-of third \"High Jinks\"\nis at an end. The gay groups of dancers\nmelt away; silence returns to the hall;\nand the empty spaces of the floor wait\nlonely till their wanted benches are restored, and all traces of past merriment\nsubdued.\nSeniors' Hike\nRare Success\nARTS '20 ASCENDS GROUSE\n- MOUNTAIN\nDrizzle! Drizzle! Snow! Rain! Hail!\nBut did we worry? Just listen to this\ntale:\nDespite the pessimistic utterances of\nthose who stayed at home, the hike was\na decided success. Twenty strong, we\nboarded the North Vancouver ferry at\n8.20 in the morning, and set forth. When\nwe arrived at the mountain itself the fun\nbegan. Not satisfied with the monkey\nantics of those swinging from branch\nto branch and tree to tree, over danger\nzones, some of the more enthusiastic\nmembers provided entertainment by doing the \"camel fling\" at particularly slippery places.\nFor some reason Doc. Eastman's hat\nseemed an excellent target for those in\nthe rear. If the snowballs missed Doc,\nthey were sure to hit Buck\u00E2\u0080\u0094so wc felt\nhappy.\nOnce arrived at the Mountaineering\nClub's cabin, everybody set to work and\nin a jiffy a huge fire welcomed us, the\nwater started boiling, and cheerfulness\nreigned supreme. Were the eats good^\nWell, you should have seen them! A\nprize was offered for the one who could\ncontinue eating longest. There were\nfive winners; but if Dr. Eastman won't\ntell you who they were. I won't. After\nlunch different games were played, and\nall the old favorites from the song book\nwere revived.\nBefore three o'clock the party started\non the downward trip, which was even\nmore interesting than the previous journey upwards. Eight more inches of\nsnow did a lot to make the trail seem an\nentirely different one.\nOur re-arrival at the ferry was announced by the famous class yell (by\nSwencisky), and the still more bloodcurdling utterance of our Bolsheviki. So\nended the memorable Grouse Mountain\nclimb.\nThe members of Arts '20 wish to\nthank Mr. Beltz, through whose kindness the use of the Mountaineering Club\ncabin was obtained.\nDon't Forget\n'Varsity vs. Firemen\nSaturday, 3.15\nU.B.C. Intermediates\nDefeat Monarchs\n\"HIGH JINKS\" PROVES A GREAT\nSUCCESS\nUniversity broke even in the two\nhockey games at the Arena last Friday,\nwinning the intermediate and losing the\njunior contest. As a result, the 'Varsity\nintermediates are well out in front in\ntheir league, while the juniors are running second to the Bluebirds.\nThe first period of the intermediate\ngame was even, Norm. Grimmett scoring the only goal on a pass from Wilson.\nMonarchs evened the score soon after\nthe second session opened, but Ternan\nagain put 'Varsity one up when he\nscored on a pass from Plummer. Grimmett added another goal soon after, and\nTernan made it 4-1 just before the\nwhistle. The Monarchs played a better\ngame in the last period and neither team\nscored until the last minute of time when\na fast shot got by Lambert, leaving the\nfinal score 4-2.\nThe junior game was easy for the\nBluebirds, who handed the U.B.C. players a 5-1 defeat. The only 'Varsity goal\nwas scored by Wilson in the\" third\n(Continued on Page 8)\n'VARSITY OUT OF CHAMPIONSHIP RACE\nThe University Intermediates lost all\nhope of winning the basketball championship of the city last Wednesday\nnight when they were defeated by the\nAdanacs, of Westminster, by a 29-2:5\nscore. This was the deciding match of\nthe league, since before vhat evening\neach team had dropped one game, and\neach had an easy schedule for the remainder of the season.\n'Varsity started off with a rush, and,\nat the end of five minutes, were leading\n12-1. The Adanacs cut down this lead\nin the remainder of the first half and at\nthe intermission U.B.C. lead 16-13. The\nAdanacs took the lead early in the second half and were never headed, though\nbut one point separated the teams on\nseveral occasions. The deciding points\nwere scored in the last minute of the\ngame. R. Anderson and H. Arkley were\nthe leading scorers for the losers1, while\nButler shone for the Adanacs.\nUniversity lined upas fo^ows: Guards,\nPeterson and Hunter (2); centre, Mathers (5); forwards, Arkley (8) and Anderson (10).

Young Lochinvar\ndashes across the scene on mettled\nsteed, and the bride laughs and blushes\nat the sound of his martial step. They\ntrend one measure under the hypocritical eve of the bride's mother; \"one\ntouch of her hand and one word in her\near,\" and the maiden is away, beyond\npursuit, with Lochinvar. A spirited representation of the chase; and, on its\nconclusion, the father and the bridegroom sink gracefully side by side to\nthe ground, overcome. And the Juniors\nbreathe freely again, their part of the\nperformance successfully accomplished.\nAgain the interval, and then we are\ntreated to a rehearsal of \"Green Stockings\" a la Arts '20. with a chorus and\n\"Academic Minuet\" thrown in. which\nfinally becomes modernized, drawing\nthe critical \"supervisor\" into its mazes.\nThe scene changes and we are interested visitors at Miss U.

H. Archibald delivered a lecture to\nthe Chemistry Society on \"The Gases\nof the Atmosphere.\"\nIt is due to the discoveries and research of British chemists that most of\nthe gases in the atmosphere have become known to us. The first discovery\nwas made by Joseph Black, who found\nthat heated limestone gave off the same\nweight of carbon dioxide as when it was\ntreated chemically. Daniel Rutherford,\nof Edinburgh, isolated nitrogen, while\nJoseph Priestly first prepared oxygen by\nheating mercuric oxide.\nLord Rayleigh and Sir William Ramsay experimented with nitrogen by passing it over heated magnesium. They\nfound that there was always a residue\nwhich was heavier than nitrogen. Cavendish found that by sparking in an\nelectric arc he had left a bubble of gas\nwhich was unaffected by any chemical\nreagent. To this inert substance he\ngave the name Argon.\nRamsay and Travers experimented\nwith argon and liquid air, and from them\nsucceeded in extracting three new inert\ngases, which they named Krypton, Neon\nand Xenon. Helium, an inert gas four\ntimes as heavy as hydrogen, is also\nfound in the air in minute quantities.\nThe lecture closed with a demonstration of Helium and Xenon gases in\nGeissler tubes.\nThe next meeting will be on February\n3. Mr. J. Allardyce will lecture on\n\"Glass.\"\nY.M.C.A. MEETING\nRugby matches with Victoria Intermediates and Centrals have been postponed one week.\nThe Y.M.C.A. held a very interesting\nmeeting at noon on Thursday, January\n32nd, to hear reports from two of the\ndelegates who attended the Student\nVolunteer Convention at Des Moines.\nMr. H. Cassidy, of Arts '23, spoke on\nthe history of the movement, stating\nthat it had been a recruiting agency for\nforeign mission fields; that it was primarily a student movement, and that the\nChristian student invariably felt that he\nmust go out and seek to tell all the\nworld of the Gospel. The student volunteers have been a means of bringing\nmissionaries, not from theological seminaries only, but from every kind of college. In doing this they had stimulated\nhome mission.work and had had a reflex\naction upon the wider life of the church,\nthereby promoting Christian statesmanship.\nMr. J. Mitchell then spoke of some\nof the sectional meetings of the convention. In a very clear way he referred\nto the conference on \"The Near East\"\nand the Turkish persecutions in Armenia. He stated that students should\nconsider the relative needs of the various mission fields, and give their support to the one with the greatest relative need. In the light of the progress\nwhich has been made in medical missions in recent years, the doctor going\nto a foreign field is not making a sacrifice, but an investment. He described\nthe exhibit which was held in the large\nauditorium, giving a real picture of conditions in various fields and methods\nused to bring them the message of the\nGospel, and showing how that Gospel\nof Christ is superior in every way to all\nthe heathen religions.\nIf there are any subjects\nin which you need special\ncoaching, try the new\nSPROTTSHAW\nACADEMIC\nDEPARTMENT\nAll our teachers are highly\nqualified\nSpecial Evening Classes\nThis department, as well as our\nBusiness Department, bears that\nwell-known\nSprottShaut Stamp\"QuaIity\nR.

Berto\nCirculation Manager A. Crawford\nEditor for the Week A. H. Imlah\nSTUDENT ADVISERS\nThe Women's Undergraduate Society\nhave inaugurated an excellent system by\nwhich each Senior and Junior woman is\ngiven two Freshettes in order that she\nmay pour into their intent ears words\nof wisdom and good counsel with regard\nto their studies and other college activities.\nThe men have no such arrangement,\nalthough it .is equally necessary. Students are selecting courses which will\nbe of no earthly use to them for the\nvocation which they intend to follow.\nBut the taking of useless courses is not\nthe only fault. Six weeks ago a table\nwas published showing the number of\nstudent members of the various societies. There were actually 489 students\nattending lectures at this University who\nbelonged to no organization here. Of\nthis number over 60 per cent, were\nFreshmen. Surely this speaks for itself.\nYouths and maidens come here fresh\nand green from High School, where they\nwere' herded into their only active organization\u00E2\u0080\u0094the High School Literary or\nAthletic Society\u00E2\u0080\u0094and they expect to be\nso treated again. But when they are\nnot, they are quite lost and know not\nwhere to turn. They need someone to\npoint out the way in which they should\ngo. To be sure, they saw a splendid\nannouncement in the calendar to the effect that they would be assigned to\nvarious members of the Faculty. But\nno action has as yet been taken by that\nbody, so it remains to the Arts Men's\nUndergrad. to do something. Yet how\nmuch better it would be if both Faculty\nand A.M.U.S. remedied the deficiency!\nMAKING GOOD\nStudents are usually more ready to\ncondemn than to praise. Points of\nweakness in an organization are very\nquickly criticized, but definite achievements are seldom extolled. It must not\nbe supposed, however, that the U.B.C. is\naltogether lacking in appreciation. The\nPlayers' Club and the Musical Society\nhave justly received the plaudits of the\nlast four sessions, and will undoubtedly\ncontinue to be treated thus generously\nin the future. But there are two societies in the University which we cannot\nforego congratulating this year. The\nMen's Literary Society and the Agricultural Discussion Club have been doing\nexceptionally fine work, and merit the\nsupport of every student in the 'Varsity.\nBy mentioning these, it is not our.wish\nto disparage in any way the efforts of\nother organizations, but to rouse those\nwhich are scarcely justifying their existence from their lethargy and to raise\nthem to a higher standard of usefulness\nin their respective spheres.\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2S 3p v\nA CALL TO ARMS!\nIt has never been our policy to encourage friction between the various\nfaculties in the University, and it is not\nour intention here to suggest a continuance of the Science-Freshmen clash\nthis session. Undoubtedly, it is the hope\nof the student body that there should\nbe no repetition of the wild scramble of\nlast year. Such conduct on the part\nof college men is indefensible. But if\nthe two groups wish to cross swords in\na friendly, good-natured combat on the\nKing Edward campus, no one would object. It might be best if the custom\nwere abandoned completely; but, if it\nmust be, then some such suggestion\nmight well be considered.\nEX CATHEDRA\nWhat has happened to all the people\nwho used to send us nice letters, criticizing \"The Ubysse.y\"? Did they all \"graduate\" at Christmas?\nKenny Carlisle says that he is tired of\nlying on the tables in the common room,\nand that if chairs are not supplied soon\nhe will start an agitation in favor of\nbunks.\nU.B.C. is clamoring for college pennants. If no society desires to supply\nthem, the Students' Council might consider the matter.\nThe sidewalk on the south side of the\nArts building may be suitable for California, but not for rainy Vancouver. Do\nthe authorities ever intend to improve\nthis walk?\nThe old signs, \"Silence, Please,\" are\nno longer present in the reading-room.\nApparently the good sense of the students is relied upon for quietness. Let's\nbe sensible.\nArts '20 has once more made good its\nclaim to originality by carrying out its\nproject of scaling Grouse Mountain amid\nwintry conditions, and, what is more,\nmaking a rare success of the trip.\nFollowing the close of lectures on\nWednesday, February 4th, a short musical concert will be given in the auditorium at 3.15. As this is purely a student function no charge is being made,\nand it is hoped that it will be well attended. It is the intention from now on\nto hold such a concert about once a\nmonth. In future it will be possible to\npublish the programme with the announcement of the date. January 29, 1920\nTHE UBYSSEY\n(BorttBponatmv\nAH correspondence must be written\nlegibly, on one side of the paper only, and\nmay be signed by a pen-name, but must\nbe accompanied by name and class of the\nwriter.\nKditor \"Ubyssey.\"\nDear Sir:\u00E2\u0080\u0094May I encroach upon your good\nnature, and your space, to add a postscript\nto my letter which you so kindly published\nlast week?\nAlthough the Students' Council, as a\nwhole, has lacked the interest to reply openly to the criticisms of the students as expressed in the two letters in the last issue\nof \"The Ubyssey,\" certain individual members of that body have been justifying their\naction re the \"secret session\" by stating\nthat the accused students expressed themselves as satisfied to be tried under the\ncondemned rule of procedure. Now this is\nnot even an ingenious excuse and has deluded no one\u00E2\u0080\u0094not even the Council itself.\nIt is scarcely a compliment to the mentality\nof the student body that the Council expects\nto distract our attention by a \"red-herring\"\nof this variety. Of course, the \"accused\"\nwould agree to the \"secret session\" \u00E2\u0080\u0094 they\nwould not be anxious to have their failings\ngiven any wider publicity than necessary.\nBut what connection is there between that\nand the fundamental issue on which the\nCouncil is being criticized? The criticism\nwas (1) that the Council desired to hold\ncourt in \"secret session\"; (2) that the students defeated the proposal because of the\n\"secret session\"; (3) the Council knew why\nthe proposal was defeated, and (4) the\nCouncil, contrary to these instructions, held\na court in \"secret session.\" Is there any\nQuestion here of letting the \"accused\"\nchoose their form of trial?\nIt is not a question of the advisability or\npracticability of the \"secret session\"; it is\nnot a question ot the wishes of those to be\ntried: it is simply this, that the Council has\nrefused to carry out the wishes of the students; and, being unable to disavow their\nact, have given no assurance that their offence shall not be repeated.\nYours, SARDONYX.\nEditor \"Ubyssey.\"\nDear Sir:\u00E2\u0080\u0094I would like to suggest that\npro-German propaganda be banned from the\ncolumns of \"The Ubyssey\" for a period not\nless than two hundred and fifty years.\nWhile I do not argue with \"Observer\"\nthat the war was not won in the Argonne\nand at Chateau-Thierry, I am strongly at\nvariance with him in regard to his estimate\nof the German people. Indeed, lie has a\nconsummate \"nerve\" in voicing such sentiment in Canada at a time like the present.\n\"Observer's\" is the first case on record of\na public boost of \"fraternization\" with Fritz\nduring the period of the armistice, while a\nstate of war still existed with Germany.\nA large number of the students of this\nUniversity have had dealings with this\n\"splendid people.\" The perfidious treachery\nof the Hun has been burned too deeply into\nthe consciousness of these men to be quickly forgotten\u00E2\u0080\u0094not by isolated acts, but on a\nwholesale scale, an enumeration of which\nwould prove odious to every returned man\nin the institution. Sufhce'it to say in passing that there would have been fewer Canadian crosses stretched from Ypres to the\nSomme if the Canadians had realized earlier\nin the war the true nature of this \"splendid\npeople.\"\nIt was my lot, also, to spend considerable\ntime in Germany after the Armistice, in\nCologne, Bonn, Coblence and AViesbaden.\nThe longer I was there, the deeper became\nmy disgust for the German people, who were\nso profuse in their protestations of friendship toward the Allied troops. Nine hundred and ninety-nine people out of a thousand immediately saw through their hypocritical camouflage. Can anyone imagine\nCanadians, other than \"conscientious objectors,\" welcoming as guests of honor any\nmembers of a victorious Hun army to\nChristmas and New Year's dinner, with the\nwar, and all it meant, so vivid in their\nmemories?\nLet \"Observer\" ask our returned prisoners of the manner in which they were entertained at Christmas and New Year in '15,\n'16 and '17 by the Germans.\nFrankly, I cannot altogether understand\n\"Observer's\" great admiration for the\n\"Maid in Germany,\" much less his evident\neagerness to make it public.\nYours truly,\nArts '22. J. P. G. McLEOn,\nEditor \"Ubyssey.\"\nDear Sir:\u00E2\u0080\u0094Inasmuch as your editorial,\nentitled \"Tsolatiin,\" which appeared in last\nweek's \"Ubyssey,\" points to lack of initiative on the part of the Men's Athletic Association, will you oblige by printing the following explanation?\nSime time ago a letter was received by\nthe president of our Alma Mater from the\npresident of the student body of the University of Manitoba, asking that we send delegates to a convention of students from the\nfour Western universities for the purpose of\nforming an inter-collegiate athletic union to\npromote competition in different branches\nof sport. The plan set forth in this letter\nwas thoroughly discussed at a meeting of\nthe Students' Council, and it was decided, in\nview of the expense entailed and owing to\nthe unsuitable conditions under which we\nare working as regards athleV^s in general,\nthat we forego, for the present at least, any\nactive participation in these contests. When\nwe find ourselves in a better condition as\nregards finances and athletic facilities, there\nwill be no difficulty in gaining admission to\nthe union formed by the other three universities.\nThe fact that we were asked to guarantee\n$700 to the University of Alberta to come\nhere and play hockey will give you some\nidea of what such competitions will mean in\na financial way.\nHoping this will explain any doubts which\nyour editorial may have aroused,\nI remain, sincerely yours,\nA.

Papers were read\nby Miss Flattie MacArthur, Miss Ruth\nHarrison and Mr. C. D. Smith, followed,\nas usual, by open discussion.\nMiss MacArthur upheld the action of\nthe United States in its removal of the\nReds, stating that these foreign radicals\nhindered production and opposed government and labor organization. They\nwould tend to undermine the civilization\nof the country if they were allowed to\npropagate their ideas.\nMiss Harrison took the opposite viewpoint, and ably developed her argument\nalong three lines: First, she stated that\nthe deportation of the Reds was an unnecessary step, since the States were in\nno danger from them so long as the\nlaws of the country were applied. Secondly, the U. S. is under a certain obligation to other countries to help in\nmaintaining the peace of the world.\nGranting that the Reds are a menace to\ncivilization, the States is shirking its responsibility by deporting these men. and\nthus possibly increasing the trouble in\nEurope. Lastly, Miss Harrison questioned the effectiveness of deportation in\nrestoring peace. The action will produce\nhostility in those still in America and\nperhaps aid the spreading of enthusiasm\nin the Red movement.\nMr. Smith stated that the attitude of\nthe Reds towards the United States was\nthe result of the poor economic conditions existing in that country. It is\nof no use to resort to ancient methods\nof quelling rising ideas, for, as in the\nolden days, such methods will prove entirely ineffective. The solution of the\nproblem lies in the bettering of the\neconomic conditions and thus removing\nthe cause of discontent.\nAGRICULTURE DISCUSSION\nCLUB\nTn view of the fact that many of the\nnew members of the Agriculture Discussion Club, namely, the \"Frosh,\" were as\nyet unacquainted with the older members\u00E2\u0080\u0094to wit, the wise Sophomores attd\nlearned Juniors, the \"powers that be\"\nordered a \"get - together - and - become-\nacquainted\" evening. And on this aforementioned evening there did assemble in\nthe auditorium many of the Faculty and\ntheir wives and all the members of the\nclub; yea, even the smallest Freshie did\nassemble thereto. And with them did\ncome many comely maidens from Arts\n'22 and many others also; yea, even\ngrads. did come. And after a short\nspeech by Mr. George Boving there was\nmuch talking and laughing and merrymaking, and even the Sophs, did condescend to play games with the Juniors\nand Freshies, and, after many games and\na little dancing, it came to pass that\nthere was much feasting and eating of\nchocolates. Whereupon, when everyone's appetite was satisfied, yea, when\neven the ravenous Juniors had been appeased, President Klinck, in a short address, did give the members a few much\nappreciated words of encouragement.\nThereupon the merrymaking did break\nout anew until Mr. Traves announced:\n\"Ladies' choice for the home waltz.\"\nArt and Style Clothes Shop\nThey're here--\nTooke and Cluett Full\nDress and Tuxedo\nShirts\nWe would be pleased to dress\nyou for any society event.\nPay us a visit to-day.\nTake all the time you want to\nmake the selections that will give\nyou a distinctive appearance at the\nbig affair.\nYours,\nBen Petch\nLIMITED\n752 Granville Street\n(Opposite Orpheum Theatre)\nTmh Cut Tlowm. funeral mork a Specialty\nBrown Bros. & Co.

I was almost frightened, Mertel, but then I figgered that\nthe fellos what was in the frat was trye-\ning to scare me so I hung onto the rail\nand waited till they got tired moveing\nthe bridge. Nothing else happened until I got to the end of the pipe line road\nwhen it started to snow. Tt was just\nmidnite but none of the other fellos\nshowed up, so I walked back- and fro in\nthe snow all nite Mertel until dayl'te\nand now I have a bad cold but nobodv\nshowed up. As soon as it- got lite I\nstarted home and stopped at the bridge\nto see how they moved it. Some Science fello must have fisgered the stunt\nout. The next day a fello ast me did I\nfeel the earthquake last nite and I said\nves and laffed. I gess he must of been\nin the frat Mertel becus else he wouldnt\nof nowen about the bridge.

GRADUATE DIES AT OXFORD\nThe news has been received of the\ndeath at Oxford of Lieut. lid ward Wel-\ndon Berry, a graduate in Arts of the\nUniversity of Britisli Columbia, and\nwinner of the Rhodes Scholarship.\nServing with Queen's Battery as a gunner on the Somnic, at Vimy Ridge, Hill\n70, and at Passchendaele, he was gassed\nat Loos in 1i)l7. and on his recovery\njoined the R. A. F., with which he remained till the end of the war.\nJUNIOR ECONOMICS\nColonel Mitlloy, or \"the blind trooper,\"\nas he is popularly called, gave an enlightening address on party politics to\nthe Junior Economics Club and their\nguests last Monday evening. Colonel\nMulloy distinguished himself in the Boer\nwar, where he unfortunately lost his eyesight. He is also a graduate in Political\nEconomy of Queen's College and Oxford University.\n\"In studying party politics,\" said Col.\nMulloy, \"the first thing to learn is the\ncharacteristics of the two types of mind\n\u00E2\u0080\u0094the National, or Conservative, on the\none hand and the Liberal on the other,\nboth terms, of course, being applied in a\nbroad sense. The Conservative kept the\npreservation of the State always in view.\nThis race-consciousness, so strong in\nthe Nationalist mind, is based on the\nlaw of\" self-preservation. The Conservative upholds strong foreign policies\nand fears the danger of a too unbalanced\nchange at home. The Liberal type of\nmind,\" said the speaker, \"was impelled\nby that spirit which breathed on the face\nof the waters and troubled them. The\nLiberal strives for freedom and liberty,\nand brooks no restraint. He revolts at\ninjustice and tyrannies, and distrusts\nmilitary training, force and armaments.\nHis outlook is inclined to be international. Both policies,\" asserted Col.\nMulloy, \"pushed to the extreme, become\na tyranny and is equally ruinous. The\nweaknesses of party politics lies in the\nthe extending of political organization\nto the masses. Intellect rather than\nprejudice should decide the casting of\nthe ballot if the highest and best form\nof government is to be attained.\"\nCOACHING\nin French, German and English\nComposition, Literature and\nConversation.\nMISS GREGG, GLENCOE LODGE\nPhone, Seymour Q022\nA perfect fit guaranteed.\nWhere quality counts, we win.\nThe \"Combination\"\n "Newspapers"@en .
