Mer-riani, head of the department of poli¬tical science at the University, in aradio talk last night from MitchellTower.“The slacker vote is one of thegreat menaces to democratic govern¬ment,” the speaker said. “On theheels of the civic slackers comes thedictator.”European countries are experiment¬ing with preferential and compulsoryballoting, and Germany and Belgiumhave succeeded in bringing out as highas 90 per cent of the eligible voters.Tins tendency to make innovations is■one of the chief differences betweenthe American and continental systemsof representative government, accord¬ing to Prof. Merriatn.Tells of AppointmentsIn analyzing other peculiarities ofparty government in the United Statesthe lecturer mentioned the great num¬ber of elective offices—estimated at750,000-—and the even greater numberof appointive jobs. The spoils sys¬tem, founded on these conditions, isalmost without parallel in foreigncountries."In the European countries, themerit system in public administrationis almost universally adopted. Poli-rnusi draw the li"c atthe people’s administrative sendee aspawns in the game of politics,’ as¬serted Prof. Merriam.Points to Party SystemsA fourth striking peculiarity ofAmerican politics is the two partysystem. Some European nationshave as many as twenty parties, basedon sharp religious, racial and economicdistinctions. These parties elect theircandidates and form coalition gov¬ernments after election.W. A.

Oliphant ScornsIdea Shakespeare jWas Super-manConceding Shakespeare to be thegreatest dramatist of all time, Er-n :st H. C. Oliphant of Australia,speaking in Harper assembly roomyesterday afternoon, scorned the ideathat the Elizabethan dramatist wasa i intellectual superman.Shakespeare did not have a re¬markable knowledge of law, medi¬cine and science in general, as oftenattributed to him the speaker said,v »icing the opinion that he, with hisrr eagre knowledge of those subjects,knows more of them than did Shakes¬peare. Special credit is given to theElizabethan dramatist for his legalknowledge, Oliphant said, but “thereis more knowledge of law evidencedif. ore page of Ben Johnson’s workthan, in all of Shakespeare.”Just Got By“Shakspeare had a superficialknowledge and made a good show¬ing—just enough to get by,” thespeaker asserted.Shakespeare’s lack of originalitywas also the target of the speaker,v ho asserted that the great dramatisthad borrowed plots, and plays ofothers, and their phrases andthoughts. He improved them, it istrue, Oliphant told his hearers, butasserted that it is less difficult to bean improver than an originator.Shakespeare Divine Thief“All poets have been the most col¬ossal and divine thieves,” the speak¬er asserted.Shakespeare was original in the'1delineation of character,—accordingto Oliphant. He drew a comparisonbetween Shakespeare and Johnson:^*d Marlowe, declaring that badShakespeare, born the same year asMarlowe, died at the same age, thelatter would stand out now as thegreater.Interest Is Dying“They say of Shakespeare that hewrote for all time. But did he?”Oliphant asked, pointing to the lackof enthusiasm for Shakespeare todayas a possible negative answer, andattributing the attitude not only toacting, and the decline of blankverse, but, to faults which have be¬come apparent in the dramas.The speaker closed by repeatingthat he regarded Shakespeare as thegreatest dramatist of all time, butthat he certainly was not a super¬man, demi-god or intellectual giant.HARVARD FACULTYGRANTS UNLIMITEDCUTS TO SENIORSThe privilege of unlimited cutsexcept on the days immediately pre¬ceding and following holiday seasonshas been extended to all seniors ingood standing at Harvard university.The new ruling will take effect afterthe mid-term examinations, accord¬ing to the “Harvard Crimson.”“The decision of the faculty toleave attendance of classes by se¬niors to their own discretion is sig¬nificant of the increasing confidenceand reliance to be placed in the stu¬dents,” said the daily.The success of the Dean’s Listprivilege of extending the vacationperiod of students with high standinghas been acknowledged by a gradualincrease in the size of the groivp sobenefited. The present action, whileexperimental, has been frankly an¬nounced as likely, if not abused, tobe a step toward the extentioh ofthe privilege to members of ftherclasses. The reason announced forthe decision is to make Harvard aschool for only those who really de¬sire an education.The European system of clasf at¬tendance was first introduced intoHarvard two years ago When the tak¬ing of attendance in graduatecourses was abolished; at that /timeeven an undergraduate not on theDean’s list, if sufficiently advancedin some subject to tak$ a gradatecourse, could enjoy the privilege ofoptional attendance.

The lanky sophomoremade his debut as a regular againstMinnesota in place of Capt. Hainesand gave a good account of himself assoon as he recovered from his naturalnervousness. Ruby uses Deimling tojump center and then pulls him hackto guard. Deimling is a six-footerwho is fast, dribbles well, is a goodshot and is aided by the fact that heis left-handed.Providing that Deimling starts in¬stead of Haines, the latter, of course,will figure in the games later on.

Apetition, signed by a number of solidmen, was rushed in just under thewire at high noon, when entries closed,to that beacon-light of the undergrad¬uate council, Mr. Addison Wilson,who was called from his rice puddingat the Beta house. So here I am,with my hat, as it were, in the ring,a candidate more or less willy-nilly. -for the presidency.When, some time ago. the independ¬ent candidate was elected to the pres¬idency of the senior class, a loud bleatabout “organized voters” went up. Iwant to say, here and now, that nosuch moan is applicable in my case,for my right-hand man, who, by theway, is not possessed of that high de¬gree of low cunning which is themaking of political henchmen, hasonly heen able to promise me with anydegree of certainty that fifteen voteswould be swung to me. I trust thispoint will make itself further clearafter the returns are in.All this, I may now say, is by wayof explanation why there is no sportsdiscussion in this column today.Mixed as I am in the dubious fascina¬tions of “politics,” I had no idea fora column, while the sports editor wasloudly bawling for no less than 450words.

The nextsubject in order is the railroads of the United States. Theserailroads are of personal interest to each one of us. not ouly by-reason of the essential service they render us but also byreason of the control that we all exercise over them throughour patronage and through our governmental regulation ofthem.Railroads in the United States are not yet one hundred yearsold, for their introduction into this country followed by a fewyears their inception in England, the centennial of which wascelebrated in 1925; yet it is not too much to say that the rail¬roads have meant more to the United States than they havemeant to any other nation in the world. The greater part ofour existence and growth as an inde|x*ndcnt natiion has beencoincident with and has been made possible by the railway era.The history of the development of our vast interior land areaslias l»een almost entirely a railway story.Today, with only alxnit one-eighteenth of the world’s landarea, we possess in this country approximately one-third of thetotal railway mileage of the world, and our railroads leadthose of all other nations in the high quality and low cost oftheir service. Our 250,000 miles of railway line ami their150.000 miles of additional track could circle our borders ap¬proximately forty-five times or across and recross the countryat its widest point more than 130 times if they were so laidout. We have one mile of railway line for every 440 member*of our population and for every twelve square miles of ourland area, as compared with one mile for every 2,400 personsand for every eighty square miles of land area the world over.Most of our railway statistics relate to our Class 1 railroads,which are those roads having annual operating revenues in ex¬cess of $1,000,(XX) and which constitute approximately nine-tenths of the railway mileage of the country. The present in¬vestment of more than $24,(XX),(XX),000 in these railroads is ap¬proximately one-half that in our factories and one-fourth thatin our farms. The annual task of these railroads in recentyears has been to provide for each mendier of our population,on the average, a freight movement of slightly more than tentons approximately 360 miles and a passenger trip of approxi¬mately 325 miles. This high level of transportation per capitais one indication, as it is one result, of the exceptionally highstandard of living which our people enjoy. YVe are betterserved and oftener served by railway transportation than thepeople of any other country in the world.Our Class I railroads have approximately 65,000 locomotives,55,000 passenger train cars and 2,400,000 freight train cars.They employ approximately 1,800,(XX) persons, or nearly oneout of every twenty wage-earners in the country. Their ownersnumber nearly one million and their bondholders almost thesame. They load approximately one million cars a week andjay approximately a million dollars a day in taxes.Truly the efficiency of this gigantic business means a greatdeal to every citizen. Intelligent study of our railway problemsis a duty in which our citizens fortunately seem to lie taking agreater interest all the time.Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited.C. H.
