H. (4 The Cattleman t9 Boosts A.&M. “The CatUbman", a monthly magazine published for the cattle industry of the western half of the UnitOd States, recently published a Texas Aggie issue. As described in our feature on page one. this whole issue gave A A M. s great deal of advertisement. •Tad Moses, a former Aggie and younger brother of Captain Martin Moses, edits the magazine. In the twenty-odd. articles on A. A M. were many points of interest not only to Aggies and former Aggies but to anyone who was fortunate enough to secure a copy of the pub lication. Mr. Moses himself wrote on Aggie spirit snd traditions as only a former student can do. In its wide circulation which takes in every state hi which cattle are raised, this issue of ^The Cat tleman” has given Aggieland a real boost. Mr. Moses should be com mended for his thuughfulnes.o in remembering hit school Ur this way. Aggies sad former Aggies are also indebted to Prmiident T. 0. Walton, Col. Ike Ashburn, Dean E. J. Kyle and the numerous profes- sorsjwhu prepan-d articles for the iMMlIjlf ualM. i Tbia magazine reached a public very important to the future ot A. A M.Vagncultural school. On behalf of A. A M.’s students. The Bn'taii. n thanks Mr. Moses. NOTICES ACROSS 4—-The dt I Lae tsar gra. Dr. T.J.

Then he makes us blush for the narrow ness, pettiness, snd plain dumbness snd stupid cruelty that lurk about the drugstore corner, the Ladies’ Bridge Chib, and even the Sunday Morning Service. A year later (19JJ), when all the city slickers were still satilinc superciliously at the way Sinclair Lewis had polished off the hicks and clodhoppers, that dangerous gentleman turned on them in his second big fawok. and for a)l time branded a gdod half of them as “Babbitts". \ The trouble with George M. Bab bitt, Realtor, wbo (alas!) is even more genuinely American than Doc Kennkott, is that be to a helpless stove to “what the bunch will think". We art given enough glimp ses ef the inner Babbitt to convince us that be would really be x pretty good skate—if only be had the nerve to be himself and not a loud speaker for the opinions and sentiments of the crowd that he plays around with. But that much nerve is just what Mr. Babbitt hasn’t got. And that much nerve, Lwwis very strongly implies, is just what the average American lacks. This “average American” has faced cannon at' certain mo ments of his not inglorious history. But he just can’t face the fellers in sn unpopular attitude. (Of course, Mr. Lewis visited College Station.) H. L. Mencken, the sarcastic sage of Baltimore, also poked un merciful fun at the American peo ple and made the poor boobe pay him richly for it I remember three or four years, from about 1924 to 1938, when all the Aggie Intel lectuals of that day (you know, people like Editor ef the Bat, etc.) read their Mencken like a Bible, and went about the Campus with wicked Menckenian sneers dis- nrv,-, figuring their downy countenances Mr. Mesncken didn’t bother to write stories. He just sat buck in his Baltimore easy chair and told us in plain language (and very amusing language at that) what boobs and morons we Americans are. Our sturdy farmers were duasb snd sweaty yokels to H. L. Our democracy he re-christened “Boob- ocracy”, since democracy, he rea soned, means the rule of the ma jority, and since the overwhelming majority are gorgeous boohe. My own native Misdtoslppi, he habit ually referred to as “that sink”. Capitalism, to My.’Mencken, is an outrageous racket But the social ists and other refbrmers are to him much sillier and just shout as crooked as the economic royalists As a matter of fact,dt to stupid ity that Menekonj hates worse than anything else. The chief value of his work. I think, snd of Lessis’a as well, has keen to make modern Americans more sensitive to this same stupidity, and more quick to detect snd expose it—in them selves aa well a» in others. This, then, to. the distinctive mark that the two great j>o*t war debunker* have left on us moderns: Because they Md because they know kow to make us read their b**>ks, we are ou the whole more alert, more realistic, less mawkishly sentimental, and more intellectually honest and bold than we would have been without them.
