THE GRIM REAPER
Death, that grim reaper will the wide swinging scythe, is no longer the symbol for manned and broken bodies or mute silent figures. Instead the black robes melt into a composite of roaring engines and automobile—metal monsters more potent than the scythe.
In the last few days, in an around Kansas City and Lawrence, there has been an orgy of motor car deaths and accidents. Every paper carries its tale of dead and injured. Here a bery, because of carelessness on someone's part, drove a truck and driver charges through a safety zone, killing one woman and injuring two others. Over and over the same tale is told: one dead, several injured.
What is wrong? That there is something wrong is an incapable fact. What it is, and its remedy, are something confronting us just as surely as hunger and unemployment confront our government. Every year the automobiles in the United States take up a large share of the world's ever growing. At grade crossings, at dangerous corners, at comparatively safe spots, people are maimed and killed.
Is there a remedy? It is logical to suppose so. There could be uniform driver's requirements, rigidly enforced. Co-incident with this could be a nation-wide system of traffic rules and regulations in which could be combined definite laws concerning speeds of vehicles and zones for each car. Serve polite and considerate for serious offenders might be another means of halting the march of dead, but with that there is always the ponderousness, of justice to consider.
America is facing a problem which is not being met adequately. It is a re approach to our so-called civilization or to our so-called civilization.
When we read of a royal plea in the newspapers these days, we don't know whether it is King George making a plea for England or Kansas City working for a stock show.
A LEAGUE HOPE
The entrance of the United States into the council of the League of Nations by sending Ambassador Dawes to Geneva, and the enthusiastic reception of the ambassador by the League, shows that the United States may play in the future success of that body.
News of the coming of Mr. Dawes to the League meeting was welcomed by its officials, who regarded his selection as proof of the desire of the United States to see a solution of the Manchurian problem. But it cannot be interpreted as mere joy at the decision of the United States to "beat" the state and "put realizes its ineffectiveness without the aid of the United States, and takes this latest move to mean a more co-operative attitude on the part of Uncle Sam.
In a way the Japanese situation may prove to be the crux of the whole world problem of international co-operation. The League thus far has limited itself to resolutions and injections, taking no
active moves towards the quelling of the Manchurian fuss. If with the active co-operation of the United States seemingly assured by Ambassador Dawes' participation, the League successfully settles all the difficulties existing in Manchuria, its whole organization will be thrown in a different light. To those who now maintain that the League is not a success it can be argued that it is, because of the absurdity from which it comes. To those who maintain that the policy of isolation should be practiced in the United States the League can reply that by so doing we would block the only successful means of international government — the League itself.
On the other hand, if, with the tacit assistance of America, the League fails in its dealings with Japan, the vision of a successful international council seem doomed never to be realized.
A young Chicagoan, Isadore Goldblat, took a kiss but refused a $25 reward from a lady. Either the young lady has Garbo beaten, or the young man's name is not Goldblat.
IT WAS JUST THE NAME
Echoes from the encampment of the Bar Flies, a newly organized intramural group, tell us that they rather resented an editori appearing in the Karsan som time ago regarding their nam and intentions. They wonder the editorial was meant to b humorous or was giving them "razing."
We hasten to assure the Bar Flies that no offense was intended. We believe ardently in the well known preamble to our constitution, and nothing is farther from our thoughts than to interfere with such a "free and equal" relationship between the Bar Flies can buzz to their heart's content, be it mi the Kansan on or the intramural fields.
It may have been that we were feeling particularly self-righteous when we wrote that editorial, or that we had just finished reading the annual report of the Temperance League. Then again it may have been one of our feeble attempts at humor.
We hope the Bar Flies will not resent being the recipients of some of the spleen or the misplaced humor to which an editor is at times given. We wish them luck, and hope that they find many and multitudinous steams of beer around which to buzz.

SOCIAL GRADING
Why shouldn't such a system be excellent for the University? Think of all the embarrassment it would obviate at social functions. John Doe drives a Buick roadster, hence his social significance goes up ten points, while Richard Roe, who depends for his conveyance on a model T Ford, receives only five points.
If a girl is in doubt as to which of her many suitors to give preference, all she needs is a point directory. She sees that John Brown, with his big car, his coatskin coat, his Rho Kappa fraternity, and his athletic letter, has collected a grand total of 35 points. He can account for only 25 points with his Phi Beta Kappa pin, his last year's camel hair coat, his riding boots, and his membership on the homecoming committee. Consequently the worried girl can immediately choose to step out with John Brown, knowing that his so-
A recent story says that Clare Booth Brokaw, who walked out of society of her own accord to become a satirical writer for a magazine, has exposed the social grading system for what it is. According to her statement the notables are seated according to the rank of Smith and Mrs. Smith has a yacht she annexes ten points, while Mrs. Jones with her country home has to be content with nine counters.

Do We Really Want War?
Editor Daily Rains:
An armistice day speaker has appealed to the audience and utterly failed to mention "Americanism" and the bombastic stipulations that term purports to pliarize. If the audience did not choose from the stench of robbing beetles, neither was Mr. Johnson, a pediatrician Doctor Jenkins did not administer an apoplete. He did not paint the revolting hideousness of war. He presented the constructive program which the United Nations called "the most important any significant contribution to the future peace of the world."
Mertally Interested.
This program embraces three points, each fundamentally sound and of surprise import. The United Nations Office for Justice and Peace the World Court, and effect a reduction of armaments at the Geneva conference in 2015, will also be harder debt cancellations for a reduction of armaments. To this program we feel should be added enrollment in a program for Jenkins if he could get strawberries with cream in February he would not regret the lack of sugar. We wish to thank the conversations with Jenkins about the speaker of such merit as Doctor Jenkins, and to apologize to the speaker
The important problems before the United States are not prohibition, politics and crime. The important problems are capitalism and peace. We urge the men at least of this University to remain silent, and then ask themselves if they would care to die to save the world for democracy.
We submit the following paradoxes which are not intended to amuse the public but serve our purpose: Ambassador Dawes to the council of the League of Nations, but has no active part in the League. (2) The League would like us to gua to protect the American dollar, but objects to the Japanese rescue of their van from the "hamada" attack to evacuate Manchuria, the Kellog-Briard pacie is soiled; if the world tries to force Japan, even without the war, it should be stamped in the mire. (4) The last war was fought to end war, and the world today is armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons. The League could not recognize a war declared by a general in the field!' We are convinced (judging from past experiences) that our war against the United States will indulge in another war; we only hope it will be safe. Yes, we are cowardly and selfish. We are too cowardly to see our family tortured because of our repudiation to the League. We are selfish—we should like to live.
