A LANDMARK PASSES
The death Sunday of David Starr Jordan, chancellor emeritus of Stanford University, removes another significant landmark from the educational horizon. He died as the result of a shock, the fifth in two years. He was 80 years old, and had been at Stanford since 1881.
Doctor Jordan was well known and loved by his students and associates alike. He was not an educator only; he was also a keen student of human nature, and a firm advocate of international peace. President Hoover says of him: "Few men in his calling have won so universal an effection and devotion. He was a great educator and was a scholarly contributor to science, to the advancement of education, and to thoughts upon public questions."
Such a tribute from the foremost citizen in our land is indeed a fitting requiement for the man. Not that he needs such plaudits, for by his works alone he has achieved permanent and ever-better fame. But the fact that he was ,and respected by such men places his personality on a level above that of the narrowly academic.
That Doctor Jordan was an admirer of the University of Kansas brings us even closer to this great man. It raises us to a position where we are even more proud to pay homage to David Starr Jordan, the man and the educator.
This is certainly an unseasonable year. An old boy down in our block said that we were due for a hard winter because the mosquitoes are getting tougher and tougher to kill.
SAVED
No moisture had fallen for many months and the farmer, standing in the midst of his parched fields, squinted heavenward at a low speech of cloud with a pious look of yearning and hope that he be受追着 to witness. "God," he said in a pious whisper, "please don't let this drotch continue any longer. Not that I care about myself," he added hastily, "but it's for the children's sake. I see rain!"
And even as the farmer who desired that his children learn about rain, the old timers on Mt. Oread are gid, for the freshmen's edification, that the intermittent downpour of the last twenty-four hours has taken place. Things were getting mighty embarrassing for the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce and the Kaw Valley Booster clubs. One can explain away a week or even two weeks of dry weather quite nonchallantly by attributing such a phenomenon to strange antics of the moon or the vagaries of the Farm Board. But when months pass during which J. Pluvius fails to do his stuff for the benefit of a swelling student body, lately harassed by the rigors of registration and enrollment, we have to fall back on the old California standby and exclaim with righteous surprise: "Why, this is such an exceptional season. We can never remember experiencing another quite like it! Of course you know that usually the climate is just wonderful the year 'round."
Fortunately, the rain came just in time to save the old timers from becoming definitely addicted to the "California line." Not that that would be such a tragedy, but it is nice to realize the freshmen have been spared the clutches of so horrible a fate.
We've heard any number of freshmen ask why they built those gutters along each side of the pavement. Poor, dumb freshmen! They're for the flankenies to rake leaves in.
"LET'S LYNCH HIM!"
Why it is that wherever mobs congrede the spirit of lynching also hovers in an unexplained mystery. Why it is that a gathering of supposedly innocent people was able to way to the impulse of rank barbarism against one of their fellowmen will perhaps never be accounted for. Are we so uncivilized that we cannot overcome the impulse to main and kill one of our number who has sinned? Or is it that we fear the miscarriage of justice and wish to take it into our own hands?
Yesterday at Clarkstown, West Virginia, a mob gathered in front of the jail which housed Harry P. Powers, self-confessed slayer of two women and three children, with the intent, officers thought, of lynching him. After repeated attempts by the police the mob was finally dispersed before serious damage could be done.
Little if any good comes of a bryching. After it is over the men go home, wondering just why they acted in the way they did; wondering if after all they have acted in the course of true justice. Justice may be blind, but at least she sees with clearer eyes than the memories of a blood-hungry moth. Our entire civilization has been built upon the foundation of impartial justice, impartially delivered. Why, then, should men choose to dispense with them and become an irresponsible mob merely because they see in some man characteristics which have offended their sense of justice? Is not the offended the one to take action?
ABOUT THE APPROACHING CAP SEASON
In a few days, freshmen, the cap season will be here, and those cutie little blue bonnets will be making their appearance on the campus. After looking the situation over from the immense eminence of some-odd years on the campus we venture this bit of advice.
1. Always wear the cap. Its non appearance on the head of a freshman known to be a freshman brings acute suffering.
3. Always daff the cap when passing the campus flag. This quaint old custom is a hang-over from the days of chivalry.
2. Always wear the ribbons on the day before a football game. Treatment for the neglect of this custom brings the same symptoms as above.
4 When a K man says button--button.
This act, consisting of placing a forefinger on the cap button and cessuring to the paddle man, deeply edifies the man in power.
5. Pay no attention to the fauna gathered upon the steps of the law barn if they should give you the well known "bird." This quaint habit of the laws is entirely harmless, and brings them much pleasure.
6. Never, never, never, never try to argue with a K man; you'll always lose!
7. And lastly, always remember that the upperchamman is just as big a baby about this as you are or he wouldn' be doing it!
Campus Opinion
In reading the editorial under the heading, "Our Next President," which appeared in the University Dale Kanser under date of Wednesday, Sept. 18, our first impression was that the Kanzer was the organ for Republican propaganda. How purpose in replying to this editorial is not to criticise the politics of the editors, which is their own concern, but to con- tain we believe to be a star on the ability and character of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the present governor of New York.
Franklin D. Roosevelt is a cousin of the great Theodore Roosevelt, but of a different political faith. His first imprint was Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and his assistant President Wilson, and his efforts during the World War demonstrated his capacity and ability to work. He ran for president in 1920 and was represented in the Harding landslide of 1929.
In Defense of Roosevelt
Editor, Daily, Korean
It was shortly after this that after swimming in an ice bay off the Maine coast he was strenken with infantile waist down. Roosevelt's friend he was through. Painstakingly, he developed the use of his legs through exercise until today he walks with the dog to his lower limbs. In 1928 he ran for Governor of New York and was elected. He immediately sought to put through his act of defending the spect to child labor and prison reform. He encouraged reforestation and conservation of natural resources. In 1930 he was re-aged governor by the huge majority of 760,000 votes, carrying up his popularity, as this territory had always been strongly Republican. Since he failed to secure lower rates from the city in the City of New York among politicians of his own party. After the failure to secure lower rates from the city, Rovehill led in the passage of legislation which appropriated $300,000 for the purpose of building power units and power plants will supply power and light to consumers at reasonable rates. Herbert Clark Hoyer came into office in 1934 as a great economist and executive. The stegan posted above him campaign pictures read, "Vote to commute." He also punched his panic hit with a thud. Prices of stocks, commodities and farm products, Mr. Hoover called it the "world's
Mr. Hoover has always been a friend of the farmer. When he was Food Administrator during the war the price was set which the farmer should reclaim from the land. He manufactured goods were allowed to soar to the sky. Now enter the "four horsemen" of agriculture, the Farm Board. This Board was the result of the work of the farmers. We attempt to help the farmer avoid the sheer sale. This board immediately purchased wheat at 80 cents per bushel and cotton at 10 cents per pound. The farmer had to put on wheat and 5 cents for cotton respectively. Through subtraction we get a negative result which touched Uncle Sam's purse for many millions in ad-dress.
Next appeared the new tariff bill with the highest tariffs rate in history. Mr. Hoover promised that big things would happen. They did. Canada required steel baler concerns, steel companies and other manufacturers, through necessity, established branch factories in Canada. These firms employed Canadian workers instead of Americans, and a few made millions of $600,000 unemployed. It is interesting to note that although this tariff was the highest on record, oil was left on the free list, notwithstanding the condition industry in Kansas, Oklahoma and Alabama.
We had always labored under the impression that Mr. Hoover was not a politician and would not stoop to petty practices until the Senator Norris case occurred. Mr. Norris is a progressive Republican, and as such has almost constantly opposed the administration. In 1850 when Mr. Hoover signed a bill by the same name appeared on the ticket. Simultaneously literature was circulated, picturing a saloon bar, intending to put across the idea that the Senate should be an institution dry, and a very religious man. At this point Senator Nye's Senate Committee began an investigation of these literature to Mr. Robert Lucas, who is publicity director for the Republican party and a close associate of the senator. A committee called Lucas made a hurried call to the White House and then announced the responsibility was his alone. When the Senate Committee voted the question of investigation the matter was quashed
Everyone is familiar with the Wickersham "fiasco." This committee, appointed by Mr. Hwoyer to check up on the "noble experiment," delivered deliberate information that people were still drinking. This bit of information cost the tax-payers one half-million dollars. At the present writing the treasury office has returned the dollars in the run, and the Hoover administration, yes founders on.
Contrasting the abilities and personalities of the above two men and having in mind the jibe of the editorial writer in Wednesday's Kaman, regardless of his position in the state of New York, we are reminded again the brain is a mirror than brawn.

The University of Kansas has decree that no employee of a Topkai Insurance firm shall represent it on its football team. This decision not to permit collegians to mix two jobs is to be commanded. What K. U. needs is a coach and a play football, it has plenty of alumni to keep the insurance business going.
