Kansan Comment
Dark Horses and War Horses
Party lines are temporarily eclipsed, and the lion and the lamb are busily planning a water-tight neutrality, but party politics are still in existence at least among the voters, and 1940 is becoming more than the promise of a new calendar from the local grocery store.
Roosevelt won't say "Yes" and he won't say "No" to queries concerning his candidacy.
In his latest book, "You Can't do That," George Seldes, journalist, points out that the sudden emergence of a nice fat dictatorship well-planted in our political backyard is not a fantastic dream. "We've got the guns, we've got the men, we've got the money, too," chimes Seldes. Added to that is the undeniable fact that there actually is a war going on just across the Atlantic, and our President in the current "limited emergency" is wielding sweeping powers. If America should be dragged into a war before next November, would it not be feasible to induce John Gullible Public to avoid changing horses in the middle of the stream?
Many citizens wear blinders put on by straight-ticket-voting forebears. They refuse to recognize political trends that are obvious to the point of alarm. The moon is made of green cheese; and the Bremen has evaporated, but can one find a handful of experts who will sincerely prophesy "It Can't Happen Here"?
Tin Pan Alley Stays Out of War
The current war is an emotional dry-eyed affair according to commentators, and American sentiment will not be roused by heart-rending ballads according to the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers.
In 1916, Tin-Pan Alley poured out such lyrics as "I Didn't Raise My Boy to be a Soldier" and other war themes. Musicians gleaned millions from the pockets of war-conscious Americans. The convention of the nation's music-makers reveals the profession in quite another mood regarding the second war in our time; the keynote of the meeting was in an anti-war-gloom festival. Twofold purpose of the leaders is to keep the conflict off the public's music mind, and to halt profiteering on sorrow and anxiety.
Determined to maintain an even balance in themes, neutral publishers have not accepted the temperamental slush prepared by Tin Pan Alley since September. Such selections as "Keep Us Out of the War," "Lizzy Don't Look So Good in Her Gas Mask," and "Let's Stay Out of It" have not found a market. If refusal to print such songs represents the feeling of most music publishers, America's sentimental nature will have a greater protection against the potent appeal to mass action engendered by a teary ballad.
Yanks and Reds Plav Ball
The radio-minded American public, weared by unrelenting war bulletins, neutrality speeches, and sleepless war correspondents will find temporary relief in the great American pastime: listening to the World Series. The biggest sporting event of the year began yesterday in New York when the Yankees and the Reds took over the broadcasting spotlight and rumors of war were shunted into the background.
Fans from one coast to the other, and two-thirds of the students on the Hill will gather around the radio this week to hear the play-by-play description of a struggle that takes place on a diamond not in the trenches, and which is re Federed and played according to the rules.
The annual World Series is as much an institution in America as the Constitution, billboards, and hamburger stands. In this battle, differences will be settled by base hits and the strong arms of a few pitchers instead of by airplanes, bombs, and machine guns. The competitive spirit will be on a sporting plane, and the only fighting will be among the rabid and betting fans in the stands. Some unfortunate ampire might suffer a pop-bottle barrage. That's all. There will be no casualties in this national grudge match.
America is engaged in a sporting contest while Europe fights. Our heroes are clad in baseball flannel, not khaki.
"You will observe the rules of battle, of course?" the White Knight remarked, putting on his helmet too. "I always do," said the Red Knight, and they began banging away at each other with such fury that Alice got behind a tree to be out of the way of the blows.—Lewis Carrol. "Through the Looking Glass."
The Daily California, student newspaper at Berkeley, devotes four pages to masculine fall fashions, eight pages to feminine whims, campus clothes at Kansas are just comfortable.
Adolph Hitler is said to want a "cleaver reply" from England to the German-Russian peace demands. Knowing the British to be sticklers for exactness, we'd suggest that someone check up on the interpreter.
Question of the week: *one reason why a student should get a lifetime pass to University dances just because he or she was a successful politician on the Hill?*

A Cincinnati Backer
TO THE EDITOR:
All man-made forces are doomed to someday fall before time, tide, or some conquering factor. History shows every great power had eventual defeat. Nassau was the first to use a weapon that has been tossed high on the piles of "the have-ben."
One of the most dominant forces in the sporting world today is the New York Yankees, who have a strangle up upon baseball. For three consecutive years the Bronx Bombers have swept through all opposition offered by the American League with a nonchance and ease that is comparable only to the quiet hidden power of the sea. In three World Series they have lost only two games.
Four such players as DiMaggio, Rolfe, Dickey, and Gordon appear only once in a decade. These are undoubtedly the greatest in the game today at their various positions. Add Ruffing, Gomez, who has never lost a World Series game, Dahlgren, the finest field first baseman in the game, Crosetti, American Giant All-Star, Keller, $130,000 rookie, and a host of others who can readily see justification for Yankee domination.
Nevertheless the Yankees are slipping and totting on their throne. Boston beat them five games in this year, and the Cincinnati Reds, Nationals and Pittsburgh Steelers all gave up to give he final mash that will dislodge the Yankees.
The Series began yesterday in New York with an initial win for the Yankees in a close-fought battle, but some still think (Tm one) the Reds will win the championship. In a week you may hear a rumble crash and be very surprised to find a huge pile of broken bats, ball players, and dreams. Then there is a good chance that it will be the remnants of the once powerful Yankees. Then upwards, and you will see the Cincinnati Reds perched triumphantly upon the inclea of Baseballdom.
I BET ON THE REDS.

Iowa State comes to Lawrence this Saturday to open the home football season for Kansas. Students will flock to the stadium hungry for victory. But that isn't all they're hungry for. Pop and hot dog concessions are always crowded at the half, and salesmen distribute food and drink throughout the crowd during the game.
Candy and Pop Popular With Kansas Football Fans
Bv Bob Laing, er.
Based on an overwrite Kamena crown of 10,000, such as the saw Oklahoma play here last year, and on a technically warm, sunny afternoon, the "middle ride" consumed consists of 1,072 bottles of coca-cola, 1,424 bottle of ginger, 689 candy bars and 751 bottles of grape, orange and lemon juice.
In addition, the fans吃 624 boxes of popcorn, more than 300 ice cream bars of one kind or another, chews 162 packages of gum, drink 108 bottles of milk and many cups of coffee and smoke more than 45 packages of cigarettes. Stand attendants say that about 19 pounds of sugar and 1,000 pounds of ice are used.
Concession operators who work underneath the stadium say they will have a new ice cream novelty this year. It consists of a vanilla ice cream football with chocolate lattice.
Lumber Exports Gage Prosperity in Northwest
Seattle, Wash. (U.P.) - Lumber
exports, best page of prosperity in the Pacific Northwest, more than doubled in August over the correspondence month in 1883, according to the Lumber Inspection bureau here.
On a cold day, these fries would change corona lesbiety. Coffee would be more popular than pop and more popcorn would be sold. Cigarettes and chewing gum are a great bounty to the "blaser coaches" trying to direct the game from their seats on the 50-yard line.
Up until the day the war started, 199,088 board feet were exported from Oregon, Washington and British Columbian.
Seattle, Wash. (UP)-Lumber[recovery of Chim and Japan in]cests, best mate of prosperity in the lumber market.
Lumber experts were unable to forecast the results of the European horiztails on the movement of exports.
The August, 1938, figure was 82.
412.422 board feet.
As usual, the vast stands of British Columbia dominated exports with 143,031.925 feet. Washington's figure was 187,133.26.
Preamblely the effect, if any, would be felt in British Columbia which in recent years has developed tremendously its market in the United States. War industries and other emergency needs may take up a large part of the Canadian timber output.
To distribute the foodstock, a group o. 30 clerks work behind the counters at the booths and a score of "hawkers" work in the bleachers during the entire game. Half a dozen trucks are kept busy for three hours between drills and games and to the stadium. No fixtures are as yet available on how much time and energy are used to consume the same material.
The bureau also pointed out the
The biggest export customer in August, however, was the United Kingdom. Oregon and Washington mills sent 6,403,002 feet on compaction to England or British colonies or send an order increase over August 1928.
After a decrease for several years, both markets bounced back in August with substantial increases. Pacific Northwest lumber exports to Japan reached 5,505,888 feet and to China. 7,932,772.
British Columbia water borne experts to the United States in August were 13,042,367 feet. The remainder of the total shipment of 717,988,368 feet was loaded at Northwest was accounted for by Oregon and Washington mills.
