GRIDI.EI It is one of the greatest puzzles to the editors of a college publication to understand the feeling of fellow students in regard to the policy and material of their newspaper. Editorials are con demned without the knowledge of their writers. editors are shot with their backs facing a liter ar wall and their eyes blind to the rifles of stu dent opinion. Whether such action is a result .0r personal astigmatism it is not for us to say. How ever. since the new hoard has assumed control only a single letter has been received. Letters challenging the editor to pistol duels at thirty paces used to be the traditional thing. We would receive such a communication with tears of joy—not that we are experts with the pistol for our tiring ,talents have been allowed expression only on the R. O. T. C. range, but that it has been so long since a letter. signed by name, has ap peared in this office that just to see one would be an ambition fulfilled. Somebody challenge us. 1917 TEN YEARS AFTER " 1927 Ten years ago last Wednesday the United States entered into a momentous conflict—one that had already exacted its terrible toll from all Europe for almost three years. When word flashed around Ihr ‘Vorld that America .had finally joined force with the Allies. that group rejoiced with all the spirit they were able to muster—a spirit con siderably reduced to that of nothingnesS, almost snuffed out by the morale-breAking warfare in which they had been most actively, but apparently vainly. engaged since 1914. Rich America, pow erful America was coming to the aid of England. lirame and the rest of the Allies to lend her hand thus far losing light to down what has been variously termed. Prussianism, Kulturism. Kais erism and llatredism. En America. citizens joyfully set to work. each to de his or her respective part in bringing all warfare to :in end—and quickly. Fully two-thirds of America's thinking inhabitants actually be lieved that the United States had a simple part that of throwing a hat into a blood-stained ring, and watching the Germans send up a combined shout. "kamarad." • • But Germany was istUbbOrn!„ ; Teo . i.,vaS lisp in_ fel atl ideal.: Not until yrearl.and half later was the great 'eoriflia haifted Lice. America's toll was 50.510 dead and 102,663 wounded. In money twenty billions of dollars were expended. Yet America's price was insig nificant compared to the enormous loss of man hood. wealth, morale and land on the part of I• ranee alone. These material losses were nothing compared to the destruction and shattering of ideals: of the hopes that this war was a war to end war. Should a prophet have been annroached ba•;k it 1917 and asked the question, "What will the World be like ten years from now?" he would have. had but one answer. "Ten years from now, it , 1927. the World will have forgotten all its pres ent differences. There will be peace and content ment. The future will be free frOm more wars. This Hell will be the last. Yea verily. ten years from now the World will again be on its feet. sad der but wiser. with the stain of hatred, lust, sel fishness and enmity all washed away." Ten years later. Conditions still in a chaotic state—possibly worse than in 1917. To portray conditions as they now exist. we quote from The Nation: !NM subjugated; Mexico threatened by the United States Marines; Pananm a tool; Santa Domingo, Ifonduras, etc.. in grip of ' Ainerictin bankers and State Department. The white Pon.- ers holding Shanghai against its Chinese resi dents. France strangling Syria, Morocco subju gated. etc., etc. Add to this the fact that Germans are now better received in France than are AMericans. That where once an American was given acclaim, tilt plaudits are replaced by uncomplimentary ep ithets. The joy expressed by the Alllies When• the United States entered the war, ten years ago. "has turned to envy, bitterness, and open revolt at what they call their bond-;slavery to our Treasnry. Everywhere in Europe the tide of hatred against America rises." 'fhe wolf has turned.• What were the benefits of the. war? None. Perhaps in ten more years from now, the good, if any, will be all too evident. At the present time War is useless. Why, then, have war? Ilis-, tory has brought to light the tact that after each -embroglio. the people are positive that there will Vice-President not be another. So saying these same people - Treasurer, make immediate preparations for another. just after they are certain that there will not be an other. Ten years have elapsed since America took up arms for its part in the worst conflict that the World had ever witnessed. Aml is the World now at peace? It would not take much of an impetus to start again the guns of nations. to send human beings into mortal combat again, to check further the hands of time. This hate, this bitterness, this lust for power. this unrest Editor to-Chief Assistant Editor :Managing Editor 11'tinion's Editor W. Lord. Jr. '2.8 P. IL Smnltz '2B If you believe that man descended or ascended from a monkey, do not go near the Oklahoma Bap tist university. For in that intellectual paradise men are men, and hell is fire. and religion is funda mentalism. Last Saturday "the great Baptist hosts of Oklahoma." to use President W. S. Spears' own phrase. sprang into the breach created by three depraved professors. and "protected the Baptists of Oklahoma in their educational institu tion against any form of evolutionary teaching." No one. as yet, has been burned at the stake. b'uniaess Manager =EU=2 But the enlightened faculty, headed by the! redoubtable Dr. Spears, did not pause in its cru sade merely by evicting the three professors who dared contaminate the institution by teaching ev olution. No. the faculty of the Oklahoma Bap tist university was something to reckon with. The faculty was not only godlike, but warlike. And the next day. when the BISON, the student publi cation, asked for the reinstatement of l'rofesors Conley. Sawyer and Ilarvey. the offending instruc tors, the student publication was promptly sus pected of heresy ancl suppressed. However, before Doctor Spears could put Sa tan behind his students, several hundred copies were printed, and the damage wits done—beauti fully and completely ... In a day. the university was reeking with "evolution and l 'other doctrines held b:V the Board of Trustees to be contrary to the Baptist faith." It mattered not what other Baptiste might think of the matter: the faculty of the university was endowed with the maximum of 'virtue and authority: it was cramme dtill its brain pan protested raucously against any addi tional fuel for its roaring fires of intelligence. The editorial with which the BISON condem ned itself to perdition reads. partially, as follows: "we appeal to the Christian hearted, forward looking. and intelligent Baptists of the State to save. Oklahoma Baptist university from the mis taken and hasty action of the Board of Trustees. initiated by a handful of students and acquiesced in and actually encouraged by a few members of the Faculty who are unfriendly to the administra tion." There may be, as many suggest. no quarrel between Evolution and the Bible. But there is a quarrel with Doctor Spears' consent between Ig norance and Education. N. B.
