And may there be no moaning of the bar, When [I put out to sea. But such a tide as moving secms asleep, Too full for sound or foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep Turns again home. Twilight and evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of farewell, When I embark; For tho from out our bourne of Time and Place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar. --Tennyson. A SIMPLE METHOD A Chinese general, Peng Yu- Yieng, was recently executed be- cause he was defeated. That, evidently, "is the simple cold- bloodéd method of the Chinese. "if a military leader is defeated, he is killed." v= This putting to death of one who fails is a shining example of the Biblical declaration: "From him who hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath." It also makes very clear the cen- tral truth in such phrases as "Nothing succeeds like success." It seems a severe method, though simple. In America the defeated in war or in any other enterprise is either allowed to try again or to live on in more or less obscurity. He is usually given a chance to retrieve his failure, an opportunity to make good. And if he does come back again, he is usually applauded for his de- termination and success. If he never recovers from the knock- out he may live on peacefully. But we don't like the oriental mode of dealing with failures. Tt reminds us too forcibly of the treatment commonly applied in schools and colleges to students who fall below the passing grade. Throw them out! Send them back home! Anything to get rid of them. However, there's a better way. Give them another chance under different conditions. Keep on letting them try again and again, but always under dif- ferent conditions. Poor Peng Yu-Yieng! MODESTY A much worshipped hero and a modest one! What a rare com- bination, now-a-days! In fact, from our campus observations during the past several years, we sometimes feel that the excessive hero worship heaped upon cam- pus celebrities has ruined more young men and women than cigarettes and liquor put to- gether. To be able to stand up under the stress of such ardent and oft- times silly worship and remain a modest and genuine man or woman denotes an unusual strength of character, a quality that augurs well for the future success of an undergraduate. Upon the campuses of two of our Illinois universities we have two notable examples of this sterling type of modesty. Harold (Red) Grange, a junior at the University of Illinois, who on a recent Saturday afternoon ran so many circles around the entire Michigan eleven that he left them all sick and dizzy, is the first example to come to mind. According to reputable report, when the metropolitan sports writers called at his fraternity house that night to interview him, they found that the fastest backfield "flash" in gridiron his- tory was celebrating his glorious victory over the Maize and Blue by attending a local movie with some of his fraternity pals! And he plumb refused to tell the world how good he was, when interviewed later that evening. Another internationally known figure in the world of sports is, to our personal knowledge, per- haps even more modest. Sybil Bauer, who has been breaking world's records with unfailing regularity for the past couple of years and brought much fame to her country and her Alma Mater, by clipping off world's swimming records at the Olympic games last summer, is the maiden we have in mind. A junior in the Northwestern School of Speech, Miss Bauer will talk about anything in this world except Sybil Bauer or her swim- ming abilities. Campus stars such as these might well be set up as examples for the youths of our country to emulate. We almost feel as did the youngster who exclaimed, "I'd rather be 'Red' Grange than President." HOPE THOMPSON We believe that Hope Thomp- son ought to be elected state's attorney at the November elec- tion. Since his admission to the bar in 1905 he has handled many im- portant cases in both State and Federal courts. He is not a politician and has no political ambitions. He is an honest able lawyer. We believe that if elected he will prosecute criminals wvigor- ously and fearlessly, thereby re- ducing materially the present menace to public safety. Mr. Thompson is a Wilmette citizen, living at 1219 Ashland avenue. He has lived in Wil- mette for the past twelve years, during which time he has been an active, unselfish supporter of all village welfare movements FUN ON HALLOWE'EN All the children in Winnetka who want an evening of real old- time Hallowe'en fun will be at the party to be given at Com- munity House on next Friday evening, October 31. There will be bobbing for apples, games of all kinds, and all kinds of rollick- ing indoor fun. Every parent in Winnetka is urged to make arrangements to have his children come to this party unless plans are being made to have home parties on that evening. But if your boys and girls don't know what to do with themselves on that evening, have them come up to Communi- ty House and take part in the various kinds of entertainment provided by that institution. Making oneself a nuisance to neighbors or to other people any- where is not real honest pleas- ure. Damage done to property whether done in a spirit of fun or in a spirit of malice is just the same. Citizens who mind their own business ought to be al- lowed to live in peace every day and every night in the year, in- cluding Hallowe'en. Right-mind- ed parents will prevent their chil- dren from annoying others espe- cially on this particular evening. Children can somehow be made to feel anti-social acts will not really bring them pleasure. We urge all Winnetka citizens to cooperate with village author- ities and Community House in making the passage from Oc- tober into November as peaceful and pleasant as possible.

North Shore ticket agents are trained in their line of work like all other North Shore employees. They are on duty continuously selling tickets, answering questions, giving information and assistance on every imaginable subject. : It is part of their duty to be able to give more than routine railroad information. To long-distance travelers, for example, they render a much appreciated service by making Pullman reservations on any rail- road out of Chicago, to any point -- a service they cheerfully render, without charge. The North Shore ticket agent is one of many North Shore representa- tives who make the North Shore Line a pleasant road on which to travel. Chicago North Shore & Milwaukee R.R. Co.
