THE KANSAN COMMENTS
We Thank Lincoln For a United Front
Tomorrow is Abraham Lincoln's birthday. The memory of this great man recalls another war—one in which we fought each other instead of fighting united against a common enemy. Lincoln became an honored hero of the United States because of his leadership in spite of overwhelming barriers.
In Lincoln's fight to preserve a united country, he was criticized by many newspapers and individuals and when he became president there was no national rejoicing. He was not a great leader to many of his contemporaries and they said in a loud voice and often that he was not.
But Lincoln's leadership has lasted and has influenced the nation after his death. Today we are fighting for many of his ideals and without the barriers he encountered. We are fighting to free men from bondage—in the world of today this bondage is heavier and more evil than it was then. We are fighting to preserve our country; so was Lincoln. And we are fighting for a free life; so was Lincoln.
Today the country is united and the people are working together to defeat a common enemy. Lincoln did not have a united people. This is the most important factor in winning any war—if a people will stand together, the battle is half won.
Lincoln united the people of this nation, an accomplishment for which we must ever be thankful. Today, when forces of tyranny and destruction must be wiped out, how grateful we are that our country as a whole is fighting these forces. Working together, fighting together, sharing together the sorrows of war, our people will win together and become a better nation for the cooperative experience.

--made the request that students be allowed to enroll early so that they might have two days longer on their furloughs and leaves. No plans have been made to duplicate the procedure this semester, so there will be no early enrollment, Dean Jones said.

Warden Resigns Over Execution
9:00 - 12:00
Couple 75c
Topeka, (INS)—Governor Andrew Schoeppel's refusal to grant clemency to Fred. L. Brady, convicted murderer sentenced to hang, resulted Wednesday in the resignation of Warden M. F. Amrine of the state penitentiary.
"I am opposed to capital punishment and I do not wish to be a participant when the state turns to the barbarous rite of killing." Amrine said.
Brady's execution is scheduled for April 15 at the Leavenworth Penitentiary. It will be the first state hanging since 1870. The state's capital punishment law was enacted by the legislature in 1937". Only one death sentence has been before a governor since then and that was commuted to life imprisonment by Gov. Walter A. Huxman, (who signed the capital punishment bill).
Governor Schoeppel, in accepting Amrine's resignation said:
Robert H. Hudspeth of Riley county was appointed Amrine's successor and will assume office to-dav.
"It is not a question of whether the governor or any officer charged in law with the execution of the sentence, believes in capital punishment. It is the duty of officers to enforce the law as applied and interpreted by the courts."
The death sentence for Ernest Hoefgen, imposed Monday at Marion, for the murder of Bruce Smol, Kansas State college student, has not been appealed as yet.
Two other clemency cases are now before the governor — Clarke B. Knox, Negro, convicted of murdering a Kansas City, Kans., policeman and Walter Severn, convicted for the murder of his niece, 8-year-old Inez Burling.
