SUNDAY, JANUARY 6, 1935 WE TALK LOTS— NOW LET'S ACT! In a few days the students of 150 colleges and universities, including this one, will be asked by the Literary Digest and the Association of College Editors to express their opinions on war by answering a questionnaire which is printed elsewhere in this paper. The ballots will be mailed individually to the students, with return postage. There is some doubt as to the value of a poll of this nature because when one considers the great factors of economic greed, lust for power, and race hatreds that cause war, the voice of a few thousand students seems a weak wail in the wilderness. But just as a war-like spirit is engendered and fostered by insidious propaganda, so must the spirit of peace be brought to the world by proclaiming our earnest desire for peace. Here is an opportunity to lend our voice to an organized protest against the horrors of war, and while it is a small voice, we should remember the poem about "little drops of water, little grains of sand——." Everyone should co-operate in this poll. A Hiawatha World headline writer makes it read "Corn-Swine Project" the Kansas Notes column points out. But what's the difference? To the farmer who has an AAA check coming, "pigs is pig." THE TRIAL OF AMERICAN JUSTICE Three years ago America forgot sensationalism, forgot its morbid curiosity for crime, in nation-wide shock over the Lindbergh kidnapping case. With grim determination the people resolved to wipe out the blot on American society. Now, three years later, that feeling has waned and the Hauptmann trial has opened with much of the same ballyhoo, the same cheap court drama which characterizes bigger American hearings. The trial of the Lindbergh case is the trial of American justice in the eyes of the world. Surrounding it should be a seriousness so profound that there is no place for impassioned oratory which is not sincere, or small byplays slipped in whenever possible for the benefit of the jury. In his opening statement, Attorney General David T. Wilentz referred to the defendent as "the former German machine gunner," a reference which had no relation to the trial. A press account of the opening speech reported that the prosecuting attorney's voice "appeared almost to be breaking as he spoke to the jurors." Such tactics may be colorful in the courtroom, but are disgusting to the layman who had hoped that at least this trial might be free of such cheap methods. It seems that the duty of the state's attorney should be to attempt to prove that the defendant has committed the offense, rather than to convict him in the eyes of the jury and the public through emotional appeal. Perhaps Mr. Wilentz will change his procedure, but he has already gone far toward convincing a sizeable percentage of the public that Hauptmann has only to be sentenced. Merry Estate to Widow--head line. It might not look so strange if it read Merry Widow. A STUDY IN SUSPENSE The keynote of President Roosevelt's message to the seventy-fourth Congress Thursday was a plea for more billions of dollars to spend for public works. He says that government dole must cease and that public works to which all employable members of the national relief rolls can be transferred must be developed. Although the President had predicted that the government would be able to balance its budget by the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1936, he now states that the national debt will be increased by that time from the present figure of 28 billions to the almost unbelievable figure of 35 or 36 billions of dollars. He justifies this reiteration of statement by saying that private capital has not yet been able to provide sufficient employment for the millions of unemployed citizens of the United States, and that until private capital is able to do this, it is the duty of the government to provide such employment. Just how willingly the new Congress will comply with Mr. Roosevelt's suggestions is a point for speculation. In spite of the apparent approval of his measures which the recent Democratic election landslide seems to indicate, there does not now exist the severe economic crisis which unified the action of the last Congress when Mr. Roosevelt began his administration. Whether the seeming improvement in national economics will encourage the new Congress to appropriate the several billions of dollars more for which the President asks, or whether it will consider it high time to coderate its expenditures, is a question which will no doubt, keep interested followers of congressional affairs in suspense for several weeks to come.

Three seniors in the law school were ound racing three little toy motor boats around in the bathtub all one afternoon recently—IM. One of the best sober-faced corrections comes out of a small middle-western newspaper: "Last week we stated that Mr. John Knowles erected a tombstone over the grave of Mrs. Knowles. It should have stated that Mrs. John Knowles erected a tombstone over the grave of Mr. Knowles." Yesterday we said something about a new book "Hands On the Table." We wish to correct ourselves before anyone else gets a chance. That title is "The Book of Song" which song shows how much we know about either books or popular songs. All this wrangling about the Alabama football team and the falling of stars might be settled if we just changed the name of the song to "Stars on California" speedy, of course that they were of Alabama origin. With imitation antiques, imitation jewelry, and imitation royalty, perhaps flattery is the sinestest imitation. When Dr Cady, during the liquid air demonstration yesterday morning, took a mouthful of the mixture just to show that it won't hurt you if you get rid of it quickly, a wit remarked: "Wonder how many more time efficient that stuff is than Listerine?" The practical minded people! When marriage steps in, it's no longer elver to have your room and belongings in "a perfect mess." University of Kansas geologists announce that skeletons of mud puppies.

A simple unmoral negro of the old South is Candy, born to live and die on "Little King's" plantation. As times move and her group shifts to Harlem, she stays on, bearing all sorrows and joys with a serenity seeking fatalism. She is a powerful figure, simply because she so obviously stands for the old order of things, and the last of them give up the passive struggle with her. It is written solely from the negro's standpoint, one of the few with no trace of race prejudice. The men and women are simple, passionate, colorful, post-slavery cotton workes, newly alive to the privileges of New York. Illustrations by Rockwell Kent are a great attraction in the edition. Wood-cuts, with a security of detail that lends the same strong power as the story.
