THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1931 POLITICS FOR THE MASSES The arguments advanced on the need for a new party by Professor John Dewey in the current issue of the New Republic are sound and well-reasoned. Both the Democrats and the Republicans, he contends, are obsolete in their alliances with a stage of American life that is now dead; they have become senile and conservative, upholding platforms that once served the old generations, but that are totally unit to serve modern conditions adequately. The weakness of the Democrats are the Republicans is their watchword of production rather than consumption. Dewey believes the present depression came through ineffective consideration (or perhaps no consideration at all) of the consumption of the masses. Before the people of the country can maintain a decent comfort in living, the party in power must lessen the accent on production and regard the masses' means of subsistence. Heretofore, as in the case of our land system, our mines, our forests, and more laterly, our water power, the control has been vested in producers, or if you want a synonym, in Big Business. A new party might alleviate the economic and political illions of the United States. Third parties, in past campaigns, have carried little weight; the average system, admitting readily that a new party is needed, will refuse to take steps to aid in its formation. Voters have come to be skeptical of political machines. The present crisis has shaken the trust the people granted the Republicans; but rather than strengthen the possibility of a Democratic victory in 1922, the present depression has merely accentuated the flimsiness of the old political structures of either party. Many Americans believe the differences between the two major parties is no more, as the old saying goes, that between "tweedle-dee" and "tweedle-dam". That difference, to the masses, is immaterial; what they want and what they need is a controlling party whose major concern is for the welfare of the people. "Man in Role of Heroine."—Headline Clever fellow—is he ambidextrous, too! THE GAS RATE The answer of a prominent state gas company to the inquiry of Clinton H. Montgomery of the Kansas Public Service Commission shows the true attitude of the utilities company. The request for an increase in rates in 22 towns was nothing more than a move to canoflage and put off the real question of whether the company was charging a legitimate rate. It has been successful for almost a year now, but with the retention of Montgomery, doubless some of the hopes of the utilities公司 have faded. Just how close to home the fight comes may be realized when it is learned that the minimum gas rate in a number of towns has been raised fifty per cent above the former minimum. To those who use only the minimum, or sometimes not even that, this means a total for gas which formerly was not needed. Just why it costs so much more to cover the minimum expenditures than it did a few years ago when prices in price were higher than they are now is a question which the utilities company refuses to answer. It is about this that the whole battle has been waged. The company threaten to force the protesting towns into bankruptcy if they put up a fight to stop the charge. This threat has been rendered 'powerless by the state ap- Stop the charge This incarceration has been rendered powerless by the state appropriation of $100,000 to take care population of $10,000 to take care of the legal battle. With the retention of Montgomery until the fight has been completed it appears the state has every chance of winning its war against a grasping capitalist Tennis to Jean Borotra, French net star, is only a sideline. Many varsity football players have discovered that the gridiron sport was only a side-line to them, too. THOSE WHO LAUGH LAST One of the most perceptible defects esculting from the development of talking pictures is that there has been no revised model whereby the majority are protected from patrons who laugh at. It would seem from current results in our town theaters the he who laughs last laughs the loudest. Many of us—the average lot of talkie enthusiasts—are prevented from hearing important parts of movie dialogues because of the raucous and belated merriment of the laughter. It would not be out of order to demand that they sign pledges at the ticket office to withhold their laughter until after the performance; pledges are the vogue on the Hill right now, anyway. Maybe the trouble is that the talkies have been too rapid in their development, coming as they have before the public late laughers could be educated to laugh on time or wait until after the show. A young woman advertises in the New Republic she would "like a position as companion to children or adults for European travel." Not much difference in her tastes, apparently. A WORTHY LECTURE Man is never satisfied as long as there is something left to discover. Electrical wonders and outstanding developments of research were demonstrated at a lecture by Sergius P. Grace, vice-president of the Bell Telephone laboratory, last night in the University auditorium. The lecturer showed how one can hear without sound; he demonstrated the scrambled speech, the artificial larynx, the talking flame, delayed or creeping speech, hearing of a picture, filtered speech and music, and thundering heart beat, and the dial that speaks in his lecture. Engineers and telephone men from all parts of the state came to Lawrence to see the new development. Besides demonstrating many wonders, Mr. Graze explained and showed the audience new devices of recent invention which are being used in the various parts of telephones. Last night's demonstration and lecture was one of the best educational performances given at the University this year. A writer in Argentine would call book borrowers who never return lent volumes "bibliowitches." We can see no reason why such a euphimer need be coined when the English language has many more and virile, fitting words. ON WET BLANKETS In everyday life pessimists are plentiful; you will bump into them beneath the stadium between halves, or they will sit beside you at local dramatic offerings, or they will awake you in the mornings as they peer from the sleeping-porch windows and mumble something about the survey of a good, hard rain. Life, to them, is a series of epilogies; one is the Theodore Dreiser, frowning Maxim Gorki, and that subtle painter of depressing street scenes, Coleman. We have always thought "wet blankets" were pretty numerous species. But the strange thing is they never break into print. Of all the thousands of soothsayers and prophets who have forecast the economic crisis now gripping America, not one has been a "wet blanket." Somewhere they all see the sunrise. Perhaps it is a faint austen, more like twilight receding to a lunny shoulder shading its way into the sky, but some sort of a glow is there, nevertheless. Newspapers and magazines are ordinarily impartial; most of them Campus Opinion It is really surprising to find that even students from other lands who are here in the U.S. woan for an industrial school and are going to a department of Labor of the United States government. The brilliant brains of our students are barring students from industrial education is going to help the unemployment situation in this country and close schools. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION I think almost all such students after they receive their education go back to their respective countries to make use of what they have learned in improving the conditions. If the Department of Labor thinks that the American industrial experts who are employed in the various foreign countries are going to lose their jobs by replacement of Americans, they are making a bad mistake. By barring the foreign students, they are cutting the branches on which they are sitting. If an antagonistic feeling is created between America and the other foreign countries, very few of them seek American help in their industries. The foreign countries will be perfectly justified if they want to say to the children in our prosper in our lands in the same lines. Viewing the present labor problem in this vast and prosperous country is a challenge, but it has been satisfied here and there like minute, magnificent specks on the sea sands, makes me the question, "How much is America going to be benefited by this?" FOR YOUNG LADIES WHO GET IN LATE M. Kanakadri Rao. Why can't some provision be made whereby the women of the University can attend their functions without incurring the costs of their landlades by getting in after closing hours? No extra allowance of time is available to their tractions, many of which do not end until close to or after 10-30. Women are given 45 minutes after parties, why should they not have them at the events? editor Daily Kansan: Three times, recently, entertainments on the Hill have caused women to return to their houses after the spacetime until nearly twelve, when the closing time on that night was 11:30. Some transcible landlazes could not be apportioned and did not until after ten, and the play, last night, was not over until 10:20. If there is any ruling which allows women 45 minutes after these affairs, it will be a ruling that landlads will know about it. If there is not such a ruling, there certainly ought to be one, for parties should not be in the mood to act on cents in the matter of closing hours. One Who Got in Late. POLITICAL EXPLANATION I want to state positively and emphatically: There is a rather widespread misunderstanding of my political stand, particularly as it influences my position in the Y. M. C. A. election. (1) That I am not aligned with any political party on the Hill; (2) That we are now with no political party on the Hill; (2) That my sympathies are with any Editor Daily Kansan: The Council of Religious Workers will meet in Myers Hall at 4:30 o'clock Friday afternoon.

Dohery purchased a house in London, which the residence of Captain Kidd, famous 'merchant adventure,' once was situated. Of course, Mr. Dohery may have purchased the lot and given it over to his daughter; he have taken it over out of sentiment for a pioneer for whom he doubtless experiences a feeling of kinship. Kidd was executed for piracy, but that was not unheard of (101), to be exact—Kansas City Star. All students planning to do practice teaching during the fall semester 1931 must make application at the office of the dean of the School of Education, 103 Fraser, by March 20. HAYMOND A.

NOBERT HAIG, President. (5) That as a candidate for president of the Y. M. C.A.I stand independent from the Y. M. C.A.I to tend to conduct a progressive process of Y. activism independent of political interests. Some of my activities have given errant ideas which I would explain except for the short space allowed them. Ideas, however, are false if they were stated above, which is as nearly as I know how to state my position.

Not for long, however. It is safe to say that the average citizen of today is as well dressed as the most wealthy man of twenty-five years ago. Society Brand Clothes are among the main causes of the change. They require only a very reasonable expenditure, and they are as fine looking as any clothes to be had anywhere.
