PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE. KANSAS THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 11, 1857 Comment To Be Or Not To Be Right now in the senate of our own legislature, the pros and cores of child labor legislation are being mulled over. Those who oppose the amendment, accuse it of being everything from communistic to fascistic in origin. Senator Skovagd of Washington county, not only sought to prove that the idea was the product of Russian communists but declared that lack of work increased crime. We wonder whether the senator is talking about the same kind of work against which the amendment seeks to protect children. There's a lot of difference between a boy driving a team on his father's farm and a boy working at confining, monotonous, drudgery in a factory. Senator Don Allen of Jefferson county, in defense of the amendment gave what we thought one of the most logical statements of the debate. He declared that he'd string along with the social workers and the medical profession in their belief that present working conditions are harming the physical and mental status of the young people. Senator Rolla Coleman of Johnson county, compared the movement to the domination of the youth of Italy by the black shirt Fascists. We think he's wrong but when the parents can't or won't help the offspring, who else but the government should do it. Are the compulsory school laws in Kansas also "opening the door to the future destruction of the government?" Senator Skowagd in his earthy phraseology expressed just our feeling on the matter though our views may differ. "To hell with political- strategy when we are dealing with the American home." Amen. Mavor of Flint Harold Bradshaw is going to bring order out of chaos. Mr. Bradshaw is (or was) mayor of Flint, Michigan. He is now the dictator there. The city commissioners have delivered into his hands the responsibility for preserving law and order, giving him extraordinary powers. That, of course, is peachy, but there is a catch. Mr. Bradshaw has been for nine years an employee of General Motors. Bradshaw insists that his connection with the auto company will make no difference. This is little short of ridiculous, for no matter how sincere Bradshaw is, and no matter how hard he tries to be impartial, it is obvious that his sympathies lie with the company and, consciously or not, it is the company that will get the breaks. As a matter of fact, the very terms under which Bradshaw assumes power preclude the possibility of impartiality. The strikers have a complaint. They wish a readmission of conditions. The company officials have so far successfully evaded even arbitration. The preservation of law and order deprives labor of its right to force a hearing of its complaints. This fine phrase has been the means of depriving labor of its rights to try to better its conditions in Fascist countries. Wages are cut, the worker's standard of living is depressed, conditions get worse, but there can be no demonstration against the terms or conditions under which they are employed, for the preservation of order is a holy and sacred thing in the Fascist state. Let us profit by the experience of Italy and Germany, and value the right of labor to a hearing above law and order. Lawrence Flood Occasionally it becomes necessary for students who ordinarily breathe only the rarefied, undefiled air of Mt. Oread, to descend to the lower regions commonly known as the city of Lawrence. But since the recent sleet storms, and thaw, one would think that a flood similar to that of the Ohio had swept over the town. Hip boots, a slicker, and a good row-boat are positive essentials to navigate the distance from drug store to dime store. Pools, not puddles, of water streeth through vast expanses of sidewalks, so that the intrepid adventurer must climb banks of snow at the top and creep along the slippery upper peaks, until another comparatively dry spot on the walk has been reached. One unfortunate Byrd who tried this, found himself zooming down the side of the bank, and before he could swear properly he was resting with his chin in a two inch fill of slime. He covered the remainder of his journey in a drenched condition. The Kanman suggests some method be used by the city fathers to bail out a few million The Kansan Platform 1. A well-rounded variety athletic program. 2. Obtainment of student working conditions. a. Reopening of Duche museum. b. Construction of a medical science museum. 3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore. An adequate building program, including: c. Addition to the stacks of the library. 5. Restoration of faculty and employee salaries. gallons of water from the most frequented walks. Perhaps small rubber siphons could be placed at intervals in the pools, or something. It's possible that someone might have an even better idea. Psychology In Parole There has been a great deal of agitation in the last few years to do away with the parole system. A number of newspapers make it a point to "play up" the fact that a lawbreaker who has been caught is an ex-convict, and stories are written showing the astounding numbers of paroled men who return to a life of crime. or crime. In the light of these facts, the statement made by A. E. Wiggam that psychologists can predict within three per cent those convicts who will keep their paroles, is a seeming paradox. Where is the discrepancy? The answer is simple. Psychologists are not the ones who decide who shall be paroled and who shall serve a full term. Anti-parole agitators are barking up the wrong tree. It is not the principle behind parole that is wrong, it is the manner in which the principle is carried out. A man of influence and wealth, whether he be a once-respected banker or a greatly feared gangster, seldom serves his full term. A sob story might touch the hearts of an average parole board, but it would have little influence on a competent psychologist. A fellow in Chicago skipped his wife's face because he read her mind and claimed she was thinking of a man. It is suggested that this goes to prove the adage "the truth hurts." It might be pertinently announced that the first requisite to securing a Co-operative book store is a little co-operation. Add superfluities: American passports are now being stamped: "Not good for travel in Spain." Campus Opinion Stens With Rickets Editor Daily Kansan: One of the most scenic walks the University of Kansas, can be found in the winding trail that leads through Grove. in the spring It is a green and quiet bower, in the fair a haven of changing colors, and in the winter- time a quiet place. What I'm getting at is the fact that it hardly seems fair to those who enjoy the beauties of nature to have to risk their necks on a set of the most rickety steps this side of Louisiana street, which is another story. Why can't those steps be repaired, rebuilt, or torn down and a slippery slide installed? This thing is making me desperate — cling to the roof. We're going to climb below me in the breeze. Further below, much, much further, is the ground, uninvitingly hard to offenfess, when we get up and get splinters, yes splinters. Well, how about it? Don't we who like to take advantage of short courses and get splinters coming on, Are we coming down? Or not? S.

And it makes us appear rather effeminate when we can't keep our feet while a blind man walks around unaired without falling on the treacherous ice. By Ralph Bryant, c'unel. John Utrich, c. 39, blind since shortly after birth, asserts that he has often walked on the slippery sidewalks and across the key streets, which should for a blind person be in the middle of fair weather without a midnap. John has "read" me of the books put out in Braille by institutions for welfare of the blind and frankly admits that he is disappointed in them. He says, "I have been teachers containing elementary principles of education. The State and CSEP furnish readers to allow him to carry on his education, and he derives considerable enjoyment and knowledge from reading, issue of Reader's Digest in Braille. Takes Notes In Braille "I take notes in Braille," John sah in recording when he professors' lectures, "with this metal board" and stylus. "Articles which he held in his hand consisted of a needle with a wooden handle, a piece of stiff paper, and a hinged metal board on the top surface of the notebook." He used with a woom for six punches to an opening, by which words in Braille University Daily Kansan Official Student Paper of THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE, KANSAS Official Student Paper ...
