DEVOTION
The patriarch of the United States supreme court bench has just resigned, at the age of ninety-one. For thirty years, Oliver Wendell Holmes has served his country in the interests of justice and legality. A son of one of America's most famous men, Do Oliver Wendell Holmes have carried on traditions of devotion to duty to the moment when illness makes it no longer possible for him to serve
Justice Holmes has lived many years, has seen many things, and has had many sidebites in his career. He served and was wounded in the Civil war. He received an excellent education and continued it throughout his life. He has had the opportunity to see many forms of life and has been possessed of capabilities that would have enabled him to have chosen and succeeded.
Since the death of his wife two years ago, Justice Holmes has clung to his work with his whole being. It has been a part of him and he has made it and himself both since and before that time, precious parts of American life and tradition.
Must there not be something very valuable to a person in having a whole-souled devotion to a thing or a work, when such a man is to stand with his cares has been so steadfast to his cause and must so much of it?
NOT "WONT"; "CANT"
Germany has delivered, not an ultimatum, but an absolute confession that she cannot pay reparations or inter-alled war debts which she at present owes; that she is utterly unable to do it. Her confession has caused an unpresented stir among the great powers of the world, who fearing for their "spoils" from the recent world-wide argument, have set up a great howl for their rights. Thus arises a great question: is Germany able to pay, or is she merely using this excuse as a means of non-payment?
Under the Young Plan there were defined certain debts which Germany must meet, just as there were others in which a certain leeway would be allowed. It is this first group which is directly affected by Germany's admission of bankruptcy. How would Young Plan as appalled by German reparations be directly入息ed, and it is under this agreement that the debtor nations are voicing their complaints.
It has been often charged that the German people are unable to pay because they are spending their money as fast as they get it, with no sense of value or economics. While it is true that Germany has refused to invest her savings in German interests, it is true only because of the German finance system have completed it down. No investment is safe, and the German people who have seen their entire wiped out in the recent crash are spending where they would formerly have saved, because thus they have in return some concrete, and not an insignificant scrap of paper.
France, with her enormous gold reserve, is shouting most loudly. But what is most significant is not the fact that the debtor nations of
Germany insist that she must pay, but that Germany herself is unable to pay. If she hasn't the money she can't pay it, and nothing is to be gained by insisting that she must.
We note in the news that Paul Poiret, world-renowned French dressmaker, has been called in to collaborate with French physicians in designing pajamas for children. Mr. Poiret told our office Paul couldn't have a great deal of trouble finding a few customers on the K.U. campus.
RACE HATRED
A dangerous and complicated situation has arisen in Hawaii following the arrest of an American naval officer and his prominent mother-in-law on charges of having kidnapped and murdered a young Hawaiian who had been acquitted on a charge of assaulting an American woman. The arrest of these Americans will probably bring to a head the matter of race prejudice and hatred that has been brewing in the islands for some time.
Press reports state that during the past year some forty American women have been assaulted, and the parties responsible for the crimes have in most cases been freed for lack of evidence. As a result, feeling between Americans and natives of the island has become so intense that there is imminent danger of serious racial conflict. The gravity of the situation is evidenced by the fact that shore leave has been denied sailors to the American fleet which will maneuver in Hawaiian waters during February, and that all dances halls and public resorts frequented by Americans have been closed.
Race hatred and its inevitable results, lynching and murder, are never justifiable. According to the reports received on this side of the ocean it appears that the Americans involved in the present case were taking the law into their own hands in an effort to avenge the outraged woman. If they are guilty, they should be punished accordingly, despite their rank and nationality.
The statement was delivered to the national committee investigating Senator Hiram Bingham's pre-emptive assault on the sale of four per cent beer.
Recently two Yale professors came forward with the statement that the absence of beer in colleges is tending toward the cultivation of a taste for hard liquor among college men.
The Yale professors further argued that beer was an incentive to the congregation of different types of students and that a better knowledge of fellow men resulted from the use of beer in colleges.
Well, there can be no doubt that the reincarnation of legal beer would wail well revolutionize this business of college. Neither can there be any doubt that a few suts here and there would be far more beneficial than fuel oil from the popular whiskey of the day. Of course the question is whether legalized beer would divert the course of the drinkers of hard liquor today.
The significant thing about the whole question is that Yale professors are facing a problem. Regardless of wet or dry prep, deserts and that such faculty interest makes for progress in student problems.

COLLEGE PRESS CORNSHIP
Most students interested in the welfare of college publications should regard with sadness the announcement of the annual congress of the National Student Federation of America that it has released a list of United States are censored. We believe that such censorship is hardly short of criminal, in that it attacks birth at what might become at least an agency on matters of campus interest.
Criticism of faculty or administration seems to form the taboo imposed by the average college paper censorship, yet open attacks on facilities and administrations have been reported. In some cases, results in any definite harm to either of these divisions of educational

If the college paper which attacks is right, then there is the better argument that college paper is wrong, the attack may easily so prove by its actions and actions of the Christian University maintains a complete hands-off policy regarding student publications.

THE FOUR YEAR PLAN
For eight whole days the year he has been in school, a one-month comment has been made upon that fact. Students appear almost entirely oblivious to the great significance of the event. The Awkawan has not announced a Loafer Year issue. No Loafer Year issue has been announced. No men have (or at least nothing has been revealed) as yet been called for dates by the fair—that is opposite sex. Even the Nebrakan has neglected to find any feature material on the great four years.

That is only a limited number of people call a girl. No offense means, but in comparison to the number of girls who call a girl, it is small. From that small number the girl is forced to choose her companions and if the one or ones who are wanted fail to call then the woman must just stick around can get if the girl to go around.

On the other hand the men have the entire field from which to do their selecting. They may call any of the girls that are not an unusual practice to cell girls that one does not know. At any rate, from all of this group it is possible to choose the one or ones he wants to down but there are others to choose.

Kansas City, Mo., Jan. 12, (U-SP)
Friends of James M. Force, who hopes to become a second Lon Chaney' today, joined the KC Giants' gay genius in Kansas City anz.
In February, Force, 20 years old and well known in this section for his characterizations, will attempt to crush the gates of Hollywood, financed by friends who believe in him strongly enough to challenge each against his chances for success.
Each investor is to continue the monthly payment for those years. In return, he will receive 1 2-3 per cent of half of Force's income for ten years—which might run into a little tide when the actor succeeds him, his name in lights.
This he has as assured income of $400 a month. Of this, $50 goes for insurance and other expenses listed in the contract, leaving him $20 on which
If he makes a success, a percentage of his income for ten years will be paid as dividends to those who are backing him now.
He has played prominent parts in many amateur theatricals and in stock. Best known of his characterizations is that of a drug friend.
In the World War, Force was one of the youngest non-commissioned officers in the army. He enlisted at 14 and was discharged at 17. a coronal.
The strange agreement was the result of a conversation of Force with a group of his brothers in Sigma Chi fraternity. Acting on the suggestion that Force would be willing to contribute $2 each to Force's future each month.
