A story with a moral from a Californian paper : “ A novel experiment was tried in Los Angeles the other week. It was in connection with a class in American government ; a petition was addressed to the Dean and was taken to ’.h-l students by a committee formed from the American government class. One hundred and one students signed it, one girl doing so twice in her eagerness to be in the movement. Three who took the trouble to read the petition refused to sign it.’' And well they might; for the circular contained the phrase: “ All who sign this petition shall be executed on the campus, one week from date.” And that is how many elections are won.
