fearless editorials of Mr. Breckinridge and not only copied them,
bat fruitlessly sought to Induce
him to leave his beloved Kentucky and work on their editorial
staffs.
Mr. Breckinridge bought a small
newspaper, and, from its nucleus,
he built one of the finest newspapers in Kentucky. At times his
editorial policies were not to the
best intercuts of circulation, but
convinced that he was right, he
did not abandon his views even

though faced with ruin. Eventually, he overcame odds and his
viewpoints were understood to be
correct. He feared no man, and
it was the knowledge of his great
oourage that made him respected
by all who read his work or met
him face to face.
He took active interest In the
Department of Journalism at the
University. The local chapter of
Alpha Delta Sigma, national ad- vertlsing fraternity, was named
the Desha Breckinridge chapter
in his honor and throughout the
years he was an
intervening
active sponsor. For years, until
the coming of the depression forced tut discontinuance, it was a
custom for the students of Journalism at the University to take
over an entire issue of the Herald
and publish It for valuable experience. The sacrifice of time,
money, and organization that this
practice entailed did not deter
Mr. Breckinridge from the yearly
custom for he was happy in the
knowledge that he was benefitting his friends, the students.
It can truthfully be said that
his kindness will be missed, but
his memory wtll remain to serve
as an inspiration and a model to
students of the University and
especially to those who hope to
embark on the tumultuous course
at the Fourth Estate.

JAPAN AGAIN
In

1913

the

Chinese

Republic

received a 6ccret ultimatum from
the Japanese Empire to the following effect: The President of China
must accept Japanese protection of
China and In return must sign over
'certain powers to the Emperor of
Japan. These powers Included control of the Chinese Army, the
Chinese Navy, the Chinese Treasury, the Chinese Police, and other
items of sovereignty. Finally Japan
demanded that the President of
China must keep all this secret,
but he, trapped and desperate, had
let Japan's ultimatum leak out to
Frederick Moore, foreign correspon
dent for the Associated Press, and

he sent the dispatch to the United
States.
Upon receiving
this dispatch
Secretary of State, William Jen

was later found out that the
Japanese Ambassador had lied, and
the ultimatum was authentic. When
questioned by Secretary Bryan, the
Ambassador merely replied that his
instructions had been to lie about

the matter.
Last week the Japanese Empire
repeated these "21 demands," to a
certain extent, and again the officials were Instructed to deny their

these dismissed by Mr. Hlrota with
the remark "so fantastic that I
decline to comment upon It."
Now China comes to the board
and blames all Its troubles on
President Roosevelt's policy concerning silver, saying that "Roosevelt is driving our Government Into
bankruptcy."

WHERE'S JOE COLLEGE?
In years past there has been a
tendency on the part of the public
to regard college as more of a playground for youth than an institution of learning. Much of this was
caused by the wide ballyhoo given
to the rah-ra- h
college boy, better
known as Joe College, and certain
pranks such as the
fraternity "hell week".
The movies also may come in for
a fair share of criticism along this
line. They do not give us pictures
of college which show the struggle
made for learning by the majority
of the students, but rather an exwell-kno-

hibition of

order to produce a successful 'musical comedy"
attraction.
The lack of seriousnes and attention to studies claimed for the college undergraduate is belied by
recent 'worry" surveys conducted In
several leading schools throughout
the country. These surveys or polls
attempted to find what the college
student of today Is most concerned
about. They list a number of subjects such as sex, education, the
future,
examinations,
graduation,
appearance, drinking, grades, proficiency in athletics, failure, etc.
Beside each of these subjects are
three brackets with the headings:
"Not at all worried", "Weakly
worried", and "Intensely Worried".
Through these surveys it was found
that 70 percent of the student population was intensely wo
