WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1931 THE BROTHERS' TRIAL Leo Brothers may be found guilty of the murder of Alfred Lingle, Chicago Tribune reporter, but the evidence of the prosecution thus far is not heartening toward that end. It is, too, a good example of the difficult path of a state prosecutor who would be zealous. A state prosecutor is termed zealous only in the event that he secures a fat portion of convictions during his tenure of office. A man shoots another in a crowded subway. He disappears, swallowed in the crowd. He may run, probably even the most calloused murdered would, after killing his victim. But the fact that he might be seen running is not very conclusive evidence in a place as large as Chicago. With a population of four million persons, running is a common habit in that bustling city. However, it now remains for the state to produce its witness who saw Lingle actually shot and who can at the same time identify the man who did the shooting. Then in the event of a conviction, perhaps the gangland menace in Chicago will be meet with an encouragement degree of fortitude. Lingle's death was a departure from the usual confines of gangland. It has brought to sharp focus the fact that any human life can be sold very cheaply due to the increasing number of hired men who make their living in that manner. Nearly twenty million dollars in loans have been approved for farmers in the drought area, according to a Washington report. Personally, we'd shirk the responsibility of defining a drought area in this country for farmers, unless it included a blanketing of the United States. "Dawes Would Eat in Pence"—headline. We would too, if we'd not be so unlucky as to be assigned the chair next to the dexterous left-hander at the college board. "SCANDAL SHEET" The dirty little scandal sheet that breezed across the campus of the University of Nebraska last week is another illustration of the perverted intellect of many so-called free thinkers. The authorities are in offering a reward for the apprehension of those responsible for the publication. The abominable little rag has had its counterparts in many other schools at different times; and K. U. is no exception to the rule. But it has been more than ten years since an anonymous publication appeared on the Hill to attack and humiliate. Instances of such conduct on the part of a few ill-advised and mind-minded student authors are getting fewer and fewer. Only here and there do we occasionally hear of such things any more. It may be that people are getting better; or it may be that with so many methods of expression students do not have to go to such means to be heard. At any rate Kanaas may feel proud that nothing of this sort has happened here for a long time. We might wonder just why Kansas is so blessed in this respect, but there is one answer. The Dove offers a means for those having a craving for expression to write what they want to say as long as they sign their names. The flag of the Dove calling for respectability, honesty and decency in the writing, has done more than anything else to keep anonymous publications off the Hill. Whenever a rival student sheet appears, the tradition of honesty and signing of articles has been followed. We can recommend to Nebraska a one solution to keep the anonymous sheet off the campus. Start a sheet along the lines of the Dove. Many adjectives were used to describe the wind blowing across the Hill yesterday but the best heard was said by a demure little freshman. She said, "It is an embarrassing wind." K. U.-COSMOPOLITE? Is K. U. provincial? If she is, it's her own fault; she has every chance to be comopolitan. On the campus are two native-born Germans; several Russians, including a count; Filipinos; Japanese Hawaiians; two Mexicans; one Chinese; two Japanese; a Spanish; and a Frenchman who is still timid with his English. In intimate acquaintanceship with people of other nations—something which many persons spend thousands of dollars travelling aboard to acquire—is possible for any one of us who wants to make the effort. From foreign students and faculty members, Jayhawkers can learn about the culture and customs of the rest of the world. We can supplement our studies of history and literature and economics by discussions of the conditions now prevailing in distant countries. We also have the often exaggerated statements of news correspondents by inquiry at the source. For those of us who are inclined to be nationalistic, there is no better medicine than the realization that mankind is much the same the world over, and that citizens of different governments think as highly of their homelands as we do of ours. The foreign visitors have much to do. Give friends with them and rule one of the varnish off the Kensun elf-satisfaction. The sky-limit gambling newly legalized in Nevada may draw grumbers any time now from Wall Street, the only other place in America where gambling in huge sums is valid. INDICATIONS THROUGH DRESS The state legislature of New York was ordered an investigation into the government of New York City. The general feeling is that the probe is aimed not so much at the administration as at the dapper mayor, Jimmy Walker, now vacationing in California. The charges against Walker brewed while he was still in New York—but the brewing, as it is to vent in be in the United States today, was submerged and carefully hidden. With his departure for California, the charges developed and crystallized. Now Walker finds himself beset with an issue with which he can cope only through distant communications; undoubtedly his peace of mind is violated, but whether his sartorial splendor, for which he is justly famous, has suffered has not been reported. It is a far simpler process to adjust one's cavat than to pacify one's troubles. Yet the strange thing about them is that when one's mind is out of gear, his cavat, too, may become crumpled. In the case of Jimmy Walker, with his cultivated immautaleness, his appearance in untidy garb would definitely measure the condition of his mind. We await press photographs and newreels to discover how deeply troubled the New York mayor actually is. An owl, writes a discerning author, may look quite as wise as a judge. But no owl could maintain his wise compass, we'll bet, if he heard and viewed the folies of man as often as a judge does. A man born in 1872 says he's only 13 years old—what's more the calendar bears him out. He was born on February 29. Charlie Chaplin had a conference with Aristide Briand—but then he couldn't play the comedian much more than some of our other diplomats. OUR SUNDAY SPEAKER The plan of bringing several noted men to speak before the University at intervals during the school year has been substituted for the religious week which was observed in former years. Bishop Edwin Holt Hughes will speak before the second all-University Sunday night service in the Auditorium next Sunday. He is a minister and writer of note. Past speakers have been progressive, modern teachers. The student who fails to appreciate the opportunity of hearing men of such a caliber as Doctor Stratton and Bishop Hughes has failed also to recognize real thinners of their time. The Campus Muse A week before their annual race, the Cambridge and Oxford crews meet, and each man drinks a bottle of champagne. At all other times the English team visits London for port or 1/12 pts of beer per day. After the convivial dinner and more convival champagne, the carmen depart quarters, and await the next Saturday. IF THIS WERE JOLLY ENGLAND —From Time Magazine SIR GUINN (affably)—"Well, Homer, old bean, what say?" "The scene is in Boonville the week before the Kansas-Missouri football game. Sir Gunn Henry and Baron Egan, who have played a long head banquet table. Their football squats sit intermingled, talking with a genial camera, ocasionally holding up their hands back, and exuding into an air of good fellowship. Before each man a bottle of champagne stands nobly. Our federal men are seen in the back." BARON HOMER—"Things are rather chic, I'd say, Sir Guinn." SIR GUINN—"Your lads look top-ing." a good edge for the coming frenzy" SIR GUINN—"I understand his honor, the Governor, will be on hand next Saturday." BARON HOMER—nothing amiably “A great sporting fellow, the Governor” BARON HOMER—"I, suppose Do Terry will be there." (Sil Günin idy fingers his bottle, and a playful smile quirks his lips as he studies the athletes in their relaxed and friendly poses). sff GUINN (startled and slightly embarrassed)—Oh, I say, Homer. He regrets the whole affair, really. BARON HOMER—That's perfectly all right, Sir Guium. My willems will play as hard despite all the adverse conditions engendered by the Dactyl and Syllable. SIR GUINN-"By Jove, that's awfully white of you, you know." (Both Sir Gunn and Baron Homer pause to hear the two Kansas tackles lightly engage the Missouri fallback propensity to mutilate the philologist's hard and fast rules of English usage. Farther down the table the Kansas center and the Tiger left end are juicing off the merits of cubic painting.) BARON HOMER (smiling, indulgent)-"There is, you know, Sir Guinn, a faternal air rife hereabouts tonight." SIR GUINN (clapping his hands for a waiter)—I assure you I told that head-waiter to serve only champagne." SIR GUINN—'Ol course, old thing" BARACK HOMER—'I see both my quarteren are drinking part.' BARON HOMER—"But, I say, Gulmin, my held generals always drink port. Never beer or champagne." SIR GUINN="That head-water is usually an unmitigated ass, anyway." (Waves head-water back bruquelay) BARON HOMER (clamping deprey- SIR GUINN —I propose a drink." BARON HOMER (Bowing slightly as he stands) "And it will be an honor to quaff with you, honored Sir." (The two teams join Sir Guinn and Baron Horen in their toast. Everyone smiles jovially, and even the head-water who is such an unmittig as allow the corners of his eyes to crinkle with the suffusion warm coats婆谩 imera!) Curtain, and let it drop softly, too, knave. P.F. temper, though you know BARON HOMER—"The heritage of a gentleman." catorally—"Not too harsh, old thing. SIR GUINN—"I have such a beautiful tenner, though you know."

They were to take advantage of early mainsail on the water and climb the walls and drop down to free themselves. The wardens learned of the plot. They did nothing to close the avenue of escape the men had opened. They did not take them off the kitchen debacle, nor did they give the men any instruction in their knowledge of the intruder harsh. Instead they stationed a corpse guards outside the wall, armed with a machine gun. The searchlight was placed so that when turned on it would throw a blaze of light on the section of the wall where the man was hiding. Every night for a week the ambushcase was laid. Finally the attempt to escape was made. Three men start running, and the searchlight picked them out against the great gray stones. The machine guns roared. Two human beings fell dead, another finally wounded, their bodies unharmed. Handles of convicts heard the fulfillade from their cells and sensed its meaning. Their hovels and yells lasted for hours, as the captors could good them into silence. --at Our Contemporaries RAW! RAW! RAW!

Think of the task facing the yell makers as a result of the change in colleges. Hays Teachers College by the state legislature.
