t
THE BATTALION
(7) Socialism; an equal share to
everybody.”
Each one of the above plans is
discussed at length. In doing this
Shaw goes into a very interesting
and original treatment of almost
every topic imaginable including oli
garchy, the courts of law, the idle
rich, churches, schools, the press,
the question of population, engenics
—here he states: “Sexual attraction
in human beings is not promiscuous:
it is always specific: we choose our
mates. But this choice is defeated
by inequality of income, which re
stricts our choice to members of
our own class: that is, persons with
similar incomes or no incomes.”—
taxes, rates, rent, capital, investment
and enterprise, foreign trade, war,
accumulation of wealth and decay
of man, the proletaria, the labor
market, trade unions, speculation,
banking, nationalization, party poli
tics, religious dissensions, revolu
tions and lastly sociaism and liber
ty, socialism and marriage, social
ism and children and socialism and
the churches—all these are dis
cussed.
Covering such a wide variety of
topics as it does it seems doubt
ful that what he’d have to say
would agree with our own way of
reasoning; and indeed there is more
than one instance in which his state
ments seem absurd. But whether we
agree with Mr. Shaw or not is be
side the mark. The point is to read
the book not for the purpose of

It has been said that “bull” is
mightier than the sword. And no
doubt there is a high-powered grain
of truth to that statement. Take
for instance our Noble Institution.
How many fair sons have managed
through sheer bravery and a brass
front to come through devoid of any
knowledge or education whatever,
yet still grasping that highly thought
of diploma in hand. “Bull,” noth
ing but straight “bull” could ac
complish that.
However, let us go back for a
moment, where did this idea of hull,
or more refined “oratory,” begin ?
James Ferguson,—no, still further
back into the gloom of history;
Patrick Henry,—still back. Now you
have it,—Diogones, the man with
the flashlight who hunted a police
man at daybreak.
First, I must warn you. It is sad
news that I bring. Although it has
been only some few hundred years,
Mrs. Diogones is a widow. No
doubt to those of you who have
not heard of this it will fall with
a sickening thud,—and think of his
pore widder. Yes, the man who used
to fill the First Baptist Church of
Athens to capacity and howl with
such eloquence that the rafters would
shake, is departed from us unto the
pearly beauties of a different world.
He was indeed a great windy, I real
ly don’t believe that Diogones
would even be satisfied with a mere
harp. And, in case,—well somehow
I know that he would resent a shov
el of any size.
Again back to his widow. I am
perfectly willing to start a sub
scription list in her favor and with
a little urging will come around.
It must be a lonely life for her.
Some say that Diogones took ora
tory in a common defense against
his Mother-in-law although I have
n’t looked up that side of the is
sue, however I am inclined to think
that the old “seeking an honest
man” excuse when he was caught
by the local constable at one a. m.
would hardly go today with the
wonderful excuses such as “Lions
Club Meeting,” or Ku Klux” gather
ing, of the modern world for com
petition.
But I believe that I mentioned
Patrick Henry a minute ago. He
was one that squalled for “Liberty.”
Lots of “liberty,” with no apparent
reason back of it at all. Just an
other publicity scheme. Since he
couldn’t “burn a, “ah,”—that is
start something some other way, or

Rain and sleet and spray are
all in the day’s work for Fish
Brand Slickers. They’ve cov

fishermen for 92 years.
The famous “Varsity”
model is built of the same
sturdy stuff. It’s a handsome
coat, full-lined, with big,
book-carrying pockets that
won’t rip. Strap-collar or
plain, buttons or buckles,
and your choice of colors.
If you want a lighter,
dressier slicker, there’s the
