Comment
Today Brothers Are Killing
EXHIBIT NOTE: Perhaps no more moving comment could be made on Armitage day then is conceived in this paper, which was published last summer by Prof. Otto Spinner of the department of German. It was written by the Germy by M. M. Woll, a student in German I in 1967.

BROTHERS
A dead man lay before us, out near the tangled wire,
The dews and the night winds cooled him, the sun
carmed him with fire.
warmed him with fire.
And looking at him daily, I could not help but see, And ever felt more strongly, he must my brother be.
I looked upon him hourly, as time brought no release.
Lead upon him hourly, as time brought no release. And seemed to hear him speaking from happy days of peace.
You are not told him speaking from happy days of peace.
Official definition.
Oft in the night a-weeping, that troubled sore my sleep,
"My Brother, dearest Brother, your love can I not keep?"
keep?
Until, in spite of bullets, at night I crawled quite near.
And brought him back and buried a stranger-friend so dear.
My eyes had been mistaken, my heart the truth had known.
known;
the face of every dead min, it is my brother's own
Legislation By Judiciary—in Kansas
The most violent condemnations of our judicially have arisen, not from the legislature nor the executive, but from the courts themselves. The minority opinions of the United States supreme court have for years contained more scathing criticism of the usurpation of legislative powers by the court than Senators Norris and Borah and, more recently, President Roosevelt have been able to call forth. A decision rendered last Saturday by the Kansas state supreme court is a case in point.
McPerson, desiring to extend electric power lines from its municipal owned plants to the city of Moundridge, was enjoined from so doing by the ninth district court. The injunction was brought by the Kansas Gas & Electric company, which had served Moundridge before that city decided to purchase current from the municipal plant in McPerson. The company's plea was based on the grounds that the city of McPerson had failed to secure a certificate of convenience and necessity from the state corporation commission before proceeding with construction of its transmission lines, a practice which is required of privately owned electric companies. Judge J. G. Somers, in granting the injunction, stated that in the opinion of the court it was only fair that municipal electric plants should abide by the same considerations required of private companies.
The supreme court, in dissolving the injunction, criticized the lower court for "legislation on the part of the judiciary." Regardless of whether or not the inferior court felt the law to be equitable or just, the supreme court opined, the duty of the court was to judge the law and not to make it.
It Might Be One Way of Collecting
In the current issue of The New Republic, Bruce Bliven points out that the persecution of racial minorities in Germany is enriched our own collective life by bringing to America a group of emigrants unlike any the world has ever seen before. Individuals of such distinction who under ordinary circumstances would never dream of transplanting themselves are coming to America to escape the wrath of der Fuehrer and his cohorts.
The list is long. It is headed by Dr. Albert Einstein, world-famed mathematician and physicist, and Thomas Mann, one of the great literary figures of the world. It includes Heinrich Bruneng, former Chancellor of Germany; Ernst Toller, playwright and poet; Max Reinhardt, theatrical producer. In fields of art there are Otto Klempner, conductor; Elisabeth Bergner, actress; and George Grosz, painter.
This new emigration is composed of scientists, creative artists, musicians, and philosophers, all with a culture as great as can be found in the world. Already they have contributed to the enhancement of our civilization; however, what they have done thus far is certainly unimportant compared with the great promise that stretches forward through the years.
The list can be continued for pages. In every field—medicine, medical research, economies, sociology, and history—names that are known throughout the world can be found.
In speculating on the valuation that might be put on the services of these refugees, Mr. Bliven believes that the average scholar has an "investment value" to the United States of
$200,000, which would go a long way toward paying Germany's defaulted post-war debt. In the words of Bliven. "For this and for many other things that he does not understand and never will, we owe a debt of gratitude to the Führer. Hitler, thank you."
Tied to
The Lion's Tail
Recent acts and utterances of British subjects, who, whether they will or no, are representing the British government in the eyes of America, have lent weight to the belief that "England expects every American to do his duty."
Frank recognition by H. G. Wells, speaking in Kansas City Nov. 1, that this belief is a prevalent and a guiding principle of British diplomacy does not mitigate the danger to America. Lord Marley, deputy speaker of the House of Lords, addressing 4,500 Kansas teachers in Hoch auditorium Friday evening, called upon the English-speaking nations to stand together in an anti-fascist bloc.
Neville Chamberlain, British prime minister, has been using soft soap on America, calling her "the most powerful nation in the world," ever since Roosevelt's Chicago speech, in the hope that Uncle Sam will pull Britain's Asiatic chestnuts from the fire. The United Press believes that the visit of Wallie & Eddie to America was cancelled by the British foreign office to avoid tangling with labor and thereby straining Anglo-American relations.
Whether these items are merely coincidental or the deliberate fruit of the British foreign office is immaterial. Seasoning of such acts and utterances with a dash of understanding of true motives will do much to avoid following John Bull into the next war.

Trace Kansas Roundtable Session Back to Eventful Pioneering Stage
Editors from all parts of the state will convene here this weekend to discuss journalism. From its beginning, Kansas newspaper business has grown by 67 dailies and 455 weeklies. Like the nucleus of all other great undertakings, the pioneering stage of the State" was turbulent and eventful.
Edited Beneath Elm Tree
The first Kansas paper could scarcely be called a newspaper. It was published in the Shawnee language by the Rev. Jolham Meeker on March 1, 1853. The Shauwi-wou-Kesauthwai, (Shawnewa Sum), was printed on a hand press which the Rev. Mr. Meeker had brought into the territory in 1833. Before this time, he had印ed several books in the Shawnee language, using type which would phonetically express the words in his book. In this manner he taught us the Indian words. In the Idians, to read, before he印ed paper—a unique task for a Kansas publisher.
Newspapers appeared in this territory as soon after the advent of white settlers, as the press and type could be obtained. Frequently the early numbers of a paper would be printed in the eastern states, the matter being written and local news compiled in the territory.
The first newspaper to be issued was the Kansas Weekly Herald. The first number was set up and printed under an elm tree near what is now Cherokee street, Leavenworth. The paper was torn repeatedly in pollen.
The second paper of the territory was a vigorous free-state paper called the Kansas Pioneer. It was first issued Oct. 15, 1854 in Lawrence. The paper was later printed in Ohio. The editors were John and Joseph Spear. With the second issue which came three months later the name was changed to the Kansas Tribune. Under this name the paper became known as the Kansas Free-state papers in the territory during the troublous times of 1855-1856.
The reason for the change in name was the appearance of the Kickapoo Pioneer, a pronounced pro-slavery
Democrate paper. This paper appeared in November, 1854, at Connountville, Crawford Penis, it was issued from Wilkon. The second number was issued from Chaney. The paper was unimaginatively true but more conservative than its contemporaries.
Becomes Free-State Power.
The Squatter Sovereign, a pro-slavery paper, was shaken at Atkinson, Feb. 5, 1835, by Robert Kelley and John H. Strasburg II, continued as the slave court border-rules law rule to Eddy Lilly the office was sold to John A. Tin. Its name was changed to the Champion, and under the administrative management of Robert McMullen and Frank I. Adams it became the Court. In January, 1855, the Free State was issued in Lawrence, by Robert G. Elliott and John Miller. It was its own name implied, a free-cast prison.
These all newspaper uses only papers published in Istanbul prior to the spring of 1844. As front runners of modern journals, they played in metropolitan race in the world for the current writer. These newspapers also field of amalgam newspapers introduced to Kenanmu know.

Mr. Werner expressed deep regret because University students had not observed the pact which now stands between the two schools "the gag," he said, "has been disregarded because it was a mistake." The agreement was made not to motivate one another's campus before football games, there has been very little disturbance between the two schools." He said that the pact has not yet proved publicity, as the students involved said they had never heard of it.
