EDITOR CALLED 'SNOB'
IN UNIVERSITY DISPUTE
Red and Blue in Editorial Com
ments on Pennsylvanian's
Policy in Gompers Case.
The Pennsylvania official dally publi
cation ot the University of Pennsylvania.
Is nccuaecTof "pure snobbery" today In
an editorial In tho latest issue of tho Red
and Blue, tho independent student month
ly magazine. The editor of tho Pennsyl
vania nlso Is accused ot "diplomatic Jour
nallsm." The last charge is based on what Is
said to havo been tho remark of tho
Pennsylvanian's editor when asked to
print a notice of tho meeting at which
Samuel Gompcra spolto to several thou
sand students, after tho labor leader had
been donlecMhe right to speak at nn offi
cial gathering of the students. Tho Penn
sylvanian's editor Is alleged to have said:
"Which would bo the wisest policy for
me, to refuso to publish this nnd dis
please a handful of students, or to pub
lish it and get in wrong with tho authori
ties?" Three possible reasons 'for the Pennsyl
vanian's suppression of tho Gompers'
meeting notice are sugestcd by the Red
and Blue
"Was It," the editorial asks, "because
his presenco hero would offend many
patrons of the University, or antagonize
men In chnrge of appropriations at Har
rlsburg? TVo know not, but hope not."
The editorial goes on to say that If It
was because tho official reason given out,
namely, that Gompers la a propagandist,
the reason fails to bo convincing', since
such "Out-and-out propagandists" as
"Billy" Sunday, James M. Beck and Rose
Pastor Stokes were given heatings at tho
University.

Great difficulty was encountered In get

It was Imposslblo to pull the submarine

the submarine sank Is rocky nnd ex

dance, which continued until after mid

Sho realized that tho bullet had passed
near the window and ran Into tho street
to protect her children, whom sho knew
in hn playing nearby. Later, it was
found that tha bullet passed through tho
open window at her side, struck the door
of 11 talking machine anil wh8 embed
