FRIDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1931 WE HUMBLY WONDER It has been a great fuss while it lasted, with lots of fireworks and verbal eruptions. Almost everyone in a position to "sound off" has done so, and not in the least elegantly, it might be added. But now it seems that the din of battle is gradually dying away in the distance, and we come forward to drag the dead and dying from the field. The football team did get an unimpeachable roast from the paper; just so, some claim, while others, particularly the K club, do not hold the same opinion. The last named group, not in the least averse to paddling someone other than the freshman, bayed off on hot on the trail of the fortunate writer, who only escaped by taking to the ice and harcading himself in university unknown places. The K club, in or we should say K men, since the club did not sanction the attempted "paddle discipline," were not to be denied, and in a ringing denouncement of sports writers, in both the general and the particular, set forth their unified views through the medium of the Kausan's columns. The Kausan, one not whit abashed, defiantly retaliated that it would print what it darn pleased, the K club notwithstanding. It would be hardly fair to take sides, since the editorial columns of the Kansan are supposed to be non-partisan, but it seems to us as if the bounds of the K club got a little way off their preserves. The "48 active members" took up the cry and worked themselves into a lather, while the other 11, or most of them, the ones on the criticized football team, sat live; gentlemen, and preserved their dignity, even at the expense of some of their reputation which they might have felt entirely to defend. The K club is a powerful organization, which holds the freshmen in line and makes them wear their caps and disport themselves for the pleasure of their elders at all toothball games. Truly the K club has accomplished wonders with all the new students on the Hill, instilling in them the proper awe for traditions and reverence for their "betters." We humbly bow to the unquestioned might of the club in this respect. But at the cost of a dipping in Potter's Lake or a trip through the paddle line we venture to ask if the K club isn't just a wee bit off its base? "If this be treason make the most of it?" A church in London adopted a novel plan last Sunday night when the services were held in darkness. The only light was that from the street which came through the stained window glass. The church was packed. We wonder if London is a college town? THE WORLD SERIES The annual classic in America's national sport, baseball, is being played this week. Thousands have crowded the baseball parks in Philadelphia and Saint Louis to see two of the best teams ever get together their stuff. On the radio and in the news, there is nothing more important right now than the World's series. All of which would seem to indicate that there is no depression in baseball. There have been critics who say that too much attention is devoted to this national pastime, that there are far better ways of spending the hard-earned American dollar today. But do these critics stop to think that organized baseball in the United States is as much in an institution in our lives as Ford automobiles and the installment plan? That organized baseball is on a higher plane today than it has ever been is a recognized fact. Why then should not the World Series deserve the whole-hearted support that it is getting? Surely there is no red-orange card to play in case it at the crack of the bat which may turn defalc into victory. Baseball, as it is maintained today, is an asset to America. It is a cure for life's silliments and a medium whereby honest athletic effort may come to the front. It is exciting and interesting— so who are we to scout when the ump- mire bellows "Play Ball!" al of Al Capone's prosecutors say that it's human nature to evade taxes. Then Al is having a Boston Tea Party all his own. IN PROOF OF NOTHING The Oread political powers are *each other's throats again*, and this time the contest seems to have endeared in a draw. As usual, the Men's Student Council, in its meeting Wednesday night, wronged and fumed a lot, but accomplished practically nothing—at least, nothing they set out to do. And that was to fill a couple of vacancies. They ballotled to elect a representative of the School of Pharmacy and the count was 10 to 10. Then one vote on each side was thrown out, and the political wizards were amazed to learn that the result was still a tie, nine all. That stumped them completely. So they put the ballots in a sealed envelope to see if time and Roberts' Rules of Order would solve the problem for them. There was no use balloting for a representative from the School of Education because it was understood that no member would vote for man above anyway. So carbons were made of the Pharmacy vote, and another envelop was wasted. The muddled procedure took a sudden change for the better, however, when the Council was called on to name a Junior Prom Manager. They elected a man by unanimous vote on the first ballot. It might be added that this unprecedented efficiency was probably accountable to the fact that only one man applied for the position. So the meeting ended, with most of the members as completely muddled as ever, after the president assigned the members a good stiff assignment in Roberts' "h Bible" to be completed before the next meeting of the class. THE TRUTH? Reports from Chicago say that twelve men, who swore they had formed no opinion, despite what they had read and heard about Alphonse Capone, took oath as jurors yesterday and the tax trial of the scar-faced gang leader was well on its way. The report, for some reason, sounds rather strange. True, twelve men may have been selected as venipenure, but to say they had formed no opinions despite what they had read and heard about Alphonse Capone will be regarded by many as gross exaggeration. The jurors are elderly men, farmers and business men who live in small towns near Chicago. If this is true, they have lived through the periods of terror brought about by the gang boss of Chicago. They know of his alleged exploitation, of his liquor traffic and his raickereting in and out of the business district of Chicago. They have read about these activities from day to day in the news columns of the Chicago dalles. Yet, they have formed no opinion concerning Capone! It is all rather contradictory; too contradictory to be taken seriously. The question will these men find the gang leader guilty? is important enough. But the outstanding question is: how can a nation that is supposed to be as advanced legally and politically as the United States come out with a jury taken from the metropolitan area of Chicago, that has no opinion in the case? Legally it may all be questioned, but practically it is exactly what Capone deserves. If these men reach a verdict without leaving the jury box, they will have been even more considerate of the gang leader's case than he has been of the men whom he has "caught" in his daily drive of terrorism.

EDISON THE MAN Edison the inventor will live forever While on anxious world is focusing attention on West Orange, New Jersey, news *A* the day brings word that Thomas A. Edison, dean of American inventors, is clinging to life. The world pays tribute to his miraculous scientific/achievement. But there is something quite as fine in his spiritual domination of his life. There are many versions of the story of Edison's desfness. Perhaps the exact truth of how this handi-came about will never be known. It is common belief that the great inventor left the ability to hear when in his youth he was working as a train boy. A train official boxed his ears for conducting experimental work aboard a train, so the story goes. Regardless of how this deafness came about, it is one of the marvels of the age that despite such a handicap, Thomas Edison has so willingly and unprotestedly kept on until his genius has affected all modern civilization. He has given us light and music and convenience. And now he is tired. Yesterday Pope Pius XI cked from the Vatican asking for continuous information of the great man's condition. The Wizard of Menlo Park claims no church affiliations. The Pope's interest is but another tribute to Edison the man. There can be no doubt that there is no man more universally loved and admired than this now feeble inventor who waits patiently for death.
