WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 18, 1935 POLITICS AND HUMAN NATURE Writing in his daily column in the Chicago Daily News, Howard O'Brien makes this interesting commentary upon Col. Knox's, his boss, candidacy for president. "I believe that when put to the test of use, Mr. Knoy's platform would remain as shiny and unmarred as the Democratic platform has been. I am convinced that as president he would do things that are utterly aberrant to him now, and we would have none practically all of the things he now advocates." This statement by one of America's noted columnists is worthy of note not only because of its political inferences, but because of its applicability to human nature. Too many persons are prone to criticize the leadership of organizations and institutions who, if placed in a similar position would forget or overlook many things they formerly clamored for. It is an old axiom that first rate information should be gathered at any barber shop or on any street corner; while the proper manner in which to run a newspaper might be gained in an evening's bull session. It is a very simple manner to sit in the bleachers and tell how the game should be played but a trifle harder to get in and play the game oneself. Frequently the editor of a newspaper incurves vicious criticism because he fails to uphold or oppose certain questions in which a particular reader or group of readers are interested. He is deemed guilty of being unfair or partisan regardless of the fact that such actions represent his honest convictions. So-called librarians are frequently as narrow minded and callous to their condemnation in public and those fallings place in a similar responsibility under similar circumstances the course of their action would hardly vary from the one he criticizes. AMERICA'S CROP OF ROTTEN APPLES It would seem that the day of the editorial Winchester is not yet past. In fact it is very much with us now, except in a little different form. The principle is to use a sub-machine gun, but the principle is the same. The murder of Walter Liggett, the crusading editor, as he was called, is a startling example of what our freedom of the press is drifting toward. If every editor in this country refrences from exposing all the rotten conditions which he finds, what is to become of the unsuspecting public who has the steel vortex against fight rocketing has to answer to gongers' guns, what then? According to reports, Minneapolis has shut down like a deflated five-cent balloon, but how long will it stay that way—long enough for the funeral services? This is the second publisher in the last year who dared to stir deeply into American's crop of rotten apples. In September, 1934, Howard Guilford, editor of the Saturday Press, was slain by "gungus." Guilford was a crite of politicians and others, but he too got a little too close rotten truth about the cesspool of corruption which surrounded him and his fellow citizens. A year ago, J. Edgar Hoover, head of the G-Men, asserted that Minneapolis was "a breeding place of crime." Speaking of politics, why did the federal government refuse to have anything to do with the Liggett killing, especially when the state requested at least help in solving the crime? Maybe that isn't an American crime, a crime against the people of the United States. Maybe. The assassination of Walter Liggett, weekly newspaper publisher, is an arrogant flaunt of ideals under the very nose of Mr. and Mrs. Everybody and especially under the noses of those publishers who still believe in the freedom of the press.

Editor Daily Kansan; Realization of the disturbing fact that Americans, as a whole, have not the slightest conception of how a concert, or similar public function should be properly attended and handled, dawned upon me Sunday afternoon at the Vesparena. Despite the fact that a relatively fractional portion of the American public was represented at the auditorium, their conduct seemed to me to be representative of the average American audience, attending anything which is on a Monday. Between numbers of the Vespers Service, I was forced to summon all my restraint to curb my rising anger and disgust at the evidences of lack of good breeding and total abstinence from courtesy around me. As I recall, there was a distinct request on the programs for the audience to refrain from leaving, or preparing to leave until the last "Amen" of the recessional had echeduled from the back of the auditorium. This certainly was a small favor to ask, and the very fact that it appeared at all on the program is strong proof of the necessity of reminding the good citizens of this country of something that should be present, inherent within them, the quality of good breeding. However, all around me, calmly ignoring the courtesue request on the program, and blithely forgetting that some of us were desperately trying to hear the last beautiful strains of the recessional selection, members of the audience were struggling into their coats, whispering excitedly about meeting sons, daughters, friends, etc., outside the auditorium, and rattling programs. One woman even had the opportunity to leave, with the occasional march not half covert. In addition to this, why do parents insist on bringing their young children to functions of that sort? They are entertaining themselves with fond delusions that, at the tender age of perhaps nine or ten, John is going to absorb-delightly the glorious music of Mendelssohn? There was a "Public Enemy No. 1" of that age directly behind me who was munched hard candy, enriched in a paper sack which of course rattled widely. At regular intervals, he made custise comments upon the performances of his parents. He drew a peculiar joy in determining which one of the two small boys lighted the candles was the more adept at the process. In front of me was a small girl of approximately seven years' age, who heard nothing whatever of the concert. The tablinus were the only things that held her attention. She ran up to me and asked her question, the remainder of the time she spent in twisting herself around in her chair and staring at me. I scowled at her in the most intelligent manner of which I was capable, but not really aware of it. Everyone, I presumed somewhat optimistically, knew that one should not turn around and star at the oncoming singers in a processional marche. However, the memoir of this curious pianist is unaware of this. Such curious ipping and Babblat-like unwareness of the sheer singing of the singing, would have delighted Sinclair Lewis, had he been present, and the reaction of the audience would undoubtedly have been the tarte, for more of his deriative meeking of "John Q. Pubs." Two boys beside me were absorbed in an enthralling game of "Tit-Tat-Toe." accompanied by mufffugas. In conclusion, I humbly state that I am in no position to criticize the intellectual and cultural plane of the American public, but when one contrasts the rapt attention which is devoted to a Joan Crawford movie, and the attention taken by a piece of the audience Vespers Service, one at least of the serious doubts as to its standard.

Clothing Store Has Important Collection Of Athletic Pictures C. C. Carl, of the Clothing Company, has a collection of pictures of athletes of the University of Kansas which is second to none in the country. For the first time since these pictures and now has the whole interior of his store lined with them. Collecting pictures has long been a hobby of Mr. Carls. At first he bought the pictures, but as his collection grew and gained fame, people began to give him pictures, until now he has a collection that is almost priceless. There are pictures of basketball and football teams, as well as individual athletes, and autographed pictures of famous coaches throughout the country. Taken as a whole, it is one of the most interesting sections of Kansas athletics in existence. Mr. Carl is a picture of every football team from 1892 to the present. In 1967 he was named football big goals as Tommy Johnson, who is not Notre Dame's Gippie is to There are pictures of coaches who are now engaged in other work or are coaching elsewhere, as Dr. A.R. Kennedy, now a dentist in Lawrence, and Fielding H. Yost, director of athletics at the University of Michigan. There are some fine action pictures in the group, one of Tommy Johnson kicking a field goal against Missouri when the game was played in Kansas City many years ago. Another shows a Kansas team just beginning its charge against Drake University, with the ball still on his knee. Every man in this picture is moving Rarely a photographer has an opportunity to make such a nicture as this. Although a large number of the pictures are of football teams and players, there is an enlarged, tinted picture of Glenn Cunningham in the collection. With this are many clipping concerns regarding the Eastern races, all mounted on a large sheet of cardboard. There is a picture of the five Olympic entrants who were either developed here or trained by Coach Brutus Hamilton, now coaching at the University of California, and by Lea Benson, who is City Semi-Indoor champion entrants, Jim Baushe, the greatest all around athlete to come from Kansas; Wilson "Buster" Charles and Clyde Coffman, together with Cunningham, trained under Hamilton in preparation for the 1932 Olympics, while Coach Bauman the 196-pound Olympic wrestling championship. Mr. Carl has long been a staupress champion of athletics at the University, and is the originator of the famous "Doc Yak" medicine shows, where he browed stramine tonies (non-alcoholic) of students in his capitals of the students to the highest pitch. He has been personally acquainted with many athletes who attended the University. He says that the greatest difference he saw between some and some old parent brings his child dren into the store to show them how papa looked when he played football at the University. There are a great many of the old grades, according to Mr. Carl, who come into the store every time there is a football game in Lawrence just to look over the pictures and recall the days gone by. It is evident that the Kansan's latest campaign in getting riders, uh, er—beg your pardon, a rise out of somebody.
