...government of the United States are of two distinct classes. Besides the man who wants to introduce an entirely new system of government, there is His Honor, the Average Citizen who while sitting vigorously on the exponents of revolution, will tear Congress to pieces as one of his great diversions; will proceed to condemn government attempts at business, and then finish off with a few choice words on the speed of Supreme Court deliberations.

We are confident that the liberals will share in the "wedding feast" to as great an extent as the "oil-bearing" conservatives. Today, true Americanism consists not in ridicule and vituperation, but in sincere striving for the co-operation of the elements that constitute American society. IRVING ROSENBLOOM '23. HENRY J.
