Borah: Individualist And Statesman
The death of William E. Borah, for thirty-three years United States senator from Idaho, marks the passing of one of America's great statesmen.
In addition to his sound knowledge and judgment, Senator Borah's chief value to the senate and to the nation was his individualism. He was never an administration's "rubber stamp," nor was he a political weatherwave, swaying with public opinion and straddling issues for votes. When he took a stand on questions, he held to that stand.
As a former University student and resident of Kansas, he held a following in the state. Not only people who knew him personally, but all Kansans watched his career with interest. While his position on certain questions may sometimes have been unacceptable, it was nevertheless respected. His courage and sound common sense made him a national rather than a state figure in politics.
Although Borah probably was best known as an isolationist, like LaFollette he also fought monopoly and wealthy industrial combinations. He was a liberal proponent of state rights. He served the country through two crucial periods, the post-war years when he helped defeat the League of Nations and the World Court and in the troublesome decade that followed the economic collapse in 1929.
As dean of the senate, Borah wielded great influence wisely, not as a politician but as a statesman. His allegiance to the Republican party did not blind him to its faults as he saw them. He remained a Republic, however, even when he broke with individual Republican leaders, as with Hower in 1932.
Indefatigable spirit drove him on in public life even when his physical energy flagged. When he felt the country was threatened by war, he urged more strongly than ever before, his program of isolation.
A tribute to his personal qualities as a gentleman of courtesy and unpretentious friendliness is found in the many spontaneous expressions of sorrow and regret invoked by his death. These expressions, which have betrayed a true ring of sincerity, have come as freely from his political opponents as from his political fellows.
There is no disagreement among them this time. They realize the nation has lost a leader.
ISA Members
Urged To Vote
When the first presidential election under provisions of the new constitution is held tomorrow, members of the Independent Student Association will have the opportunity to exercise their right to choose a president by their own vote.
As students should know, recent amendments to the Independents' constitution did away with the selection of the executive officers of the group by the Independent council. Provision was made by the new amendments for the selection of officers by members of the association in public election.
---
In order to support the new constitution and the suffrage now assured them, every member of the Independent Student Association should appear at the election polls tomorrow.
A further stipulation of the modified constitution, however, states that unless one-third of the membership of the Independent Student Association presents itself to vote at the election tomorrow, the results will be thrown out as invalid. In that event, the present council will name the new president and members to be added to the council.
"Time" magazine selects Stalin as the "Man of the Year." The December "Sour Owl" has chosen a "Girl of the Month." Both, we presume, were so honored because of their devastating qualities.

Welfare of Children Outranks Armaments
All other social problems must shrink when placed beside the welfare of the country's children, a subject which now is receiving consideration in Washington at the White House Conference on children.
Among suggestions to better the conditions of children which have come out of the conference are proposals for the permanent resettlement of at least one million people who are now migratory; for the creation of a national commission under private auspices to study leisure-time needs and recreational resources; for a complete service for all women during maternity and for all new-born infants; and for a national nutrition committee looking toward the development of nutritional policies based on the newest and best knowledge.
A study by the Social Security Board discussed in New Republic magazine has revealed that nearly three-fourths of the country's children are in families whose incomes are incompatible with the needs of developing children. The study supports the generalization that more and more money now is required to rear a child and to give him near-equal opportunity with his fellows.
Comment
Whether or not a child receives the special attention of the pediatrician, the child-psychologist, or all the benefits the modern world has contributed to child care, common sense demands that children be given cleanliness and decency in their homes and educational opportunities on an equal basis with the childrens higher-income levels.
A nation that can afford to spend billions for armaments and that can legislate in behalf of special groups might well think of its future generations. Welfare of children is not as exciting a subject as preparation for defense, but far outranks armaments in terms of human values.
Prize-fight pictures taken while such presentations were against the law and kept in cold-storage are now being shown. At least a few of the 1920 frozen-assets are capable of being thawed out.
