PAGE TWO THE DAILY IOWAN, STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Sunday, June 29, 1919 THE DAILY IOWAN A morning paper published during the six weeks summer session on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays by The Daily Iowan Publishing company at 103 Iowa avenue, Iowa City. Entered as second class matter, at the post office of Iowa City, Iowa Under direction of department of journalism, Room 14, liberal arts, building MILDRED E. WHITCOMB, in charge MEMBER IOWA COLLEGE PRESS Subscription Rate....50 cents the summer BOARD OF TRUSTEES C.H. Weller, chairman, E.M. McEwen, Mary Anderson, Marian Dyer. EDITORIAL STAFF BETH WELLMAN Editor-in-chief Telephone, Black 1757; Office hours 1-5 Daily, Room 14, L.A. building Marian Dyer Managing Editor (Rest of staff to be announced later) BUSINESS STAFF ROMOLA LATCHEM, Business Manager Telephone, 935; Office hours, Daily 9-12 103 Iowa Avenue ANARCHY A serious charge against professors of colleges and universities was made this week by the retiring president of the Iowa State Bar association, Henry L. Adams, in an address to that association. Professors were charged with spreading anarchial doctrines among students and with teaching anarchy secretly under the guise of economics or political science. Several statements were quoted by Mr. Adams as illustrating the contention. The Daily Iowan contests this claim in so far as the university of Iowa is concerned. We do not know specifically from whom he quoted, but we feel confident that this does not apply to the professors of our institution; or, if statements were made by them, that the context would take away any appearance of anarchy which the isolated sentences may seem to bear. To be dissatisfied with the present form of government and to wish to see certain changes brough [sic] about in it, is a far different thing from wishing to overthrow all government. The following paragraph from his address is a charge against a person for a mere statement of facts, probably based on statistical evidence. Surely a plain statement of statistics could not be termed anarchy. "Open anarchy encites our patriotism, but concealed anarchy may destroy patriotism itself. An I.W.W. is far less dangerous than a gentleman of the cloth, sitting securely in his professional chair and proclaiming that ten per cent of the people of this country own ninety per cent of the wealth." The professors of this institution repeatedly talk against the overthrow of all government. If some of them have improvements to suggest toward securing a better democracy, that can not be termed anarchism. Or if some of the students or others outside wish to interpret in terms of anarchy such plain facts as are revealed by the study of reliable statistics, the fault does not lie with the professor but with the interpreter. AS OTHERS SEE US The following comments on Iowa were written for the Kansas City Post by The Rev. Burris Atkins Jenkins, the editor of that paper. The Rev. Jenkins delivered an excellent baccalaureate sermon on "The Charmed Life" before the class of 1919 just graduated from the State University of Iowa. Our neighboring state of Iowa possesses more wealth per capita than any other state in the union. Take a 20-mile drive across country in Iowa, as we did Sunday afternoon at twilight. Watch the setting sun gleaming on the red sides of the bald-faced cattle. Note the farm houses that would do credit as residences on any of our boulevards; the roses clustering thickly about the verandas, and conservatories built on the sunny side. Note the wide pasture land unplowed, and the fields of grain billowing like the sea in the breeze. Look at the people on their day of rest, lying in hammock, sitting about the porches or standing under the trees, looking at their cattle and their crops--happy, prosperous, substantial people. At every farm house was at least one motor car. These farmers bought cars before the town-folk did. Huge barns and silos dot the hillsides. There is some mixture of German and Bohemian ancestry, but the state is loyal to the core. It was the first over the top of any state in the union on one liberty loan campaign, and the first over in the Chicago district in another liberty loan campaign. The Bohemians were all strongly anti-German from the beginning. The state of Lowa [sic] and its Senator Kenyon are for the League of Nations. The dean of the faculty of the University of Iowa said: "I don't know anybody in the university who is not for the league." Of course, that is true of all the universities; but a stranger, talking at a railway station-- substantial looking Cedar Rapids man; a Shriner--said everybody in Cedar Rapids is favorable to the league. "How about your Senator Cummings?" was the question. Oh, well, nobody ever knows where to find Cummins, anyhow. He'll vote on the winning side." The Federation of Women's Clubs of Iowa, meeting last week, voted unanimously for the league covenant and petitioned the senate to ratify the peace treaty, including the covenant. The women of Massachusetts cannot get ahead of the women of Iowa. Women always pierce to the heart of humanitarian questions. Overheard at the Circus "The aim of my youth was to wear pink tights and ride a black horse" "We haven't had any elephants yet." "I tell you grand opera has nothing on that music." (referring to the steam calliope.) "I can't tell whether they're South Americans or Italians." "Look at that horse keep time!" "There's the elephants! See the little one." "Look at that awful thing they stick 'em with." "You couldn't hire me to get in the cage with those lions. "I don't like a three ring circus. I can't see all that's going on." "Can't see the circus right without salted peanuts! I paid a dollar and thirty cents to see this circus right." "Wouldn't you like to be a kid again?" WILCOX TO N.Y. BANK Albert Wilcox, who was graduated at the June convocation, left Friday for New York where he has a position in the National City bank. Mr. Wilcox will be in New York for about a year and then will be sent to South America. He was graduated with high distinction. RAYMOND RETURNS FROM EAST Dean William G. Raymond of the college of applied science has just returned from Washington, D.C. where he attended a conference called by the bureau of education to consider business training for engineering.
