WEDNESDAY, MARCH 4, 1931 EINSTEIN'S RECIPROCITY With the appearance of Einstein in the United States, American interest in mathematical formulae and scientific data was increased. The German wizard, in return, was enthusiastic over American architecture, California's climate, and the progress being made by our own scientist. Einstein has established a bond of reciprocity with this country. Unlike the British novelist J. B. Priestley, who found New York a nightmare and skyscropers so alarmingly high that "they are intended for another race of men, about twelve feet tall, and of a dark green color," Einstein found American civilization fascinating. He is one of the few Europeans who have visited this country without breaking into harsh criticism. TEARS IN THE BENNETT TRIAL Ed Howe insists that he won't go to a night club, but that he will go to a funeral. But there are a lot of citizens, with temperaments like Howe's who would gladdly attend the funeral of all the night clubs. Tears are playing a major role in the trial of Mrs. Mytle Bennett in Kansas City for the death of her husband following a bridge game quarrel. The case itself is new in circumstances, but not unusual from the standpoint of its emotional crises, unless it be that there are more of them. The defendant, Mrs. Bennett, sobs sporadically, many spectators lose their composure, and even the eyes of the wily old senator and fiery委叔 from Missouri, James Reed, defense attorney, are moint during the proceedings. While lawyers often find it very easy to weep with their clients, the limpid sincerity of Reed is evident in the trial. The sincerity may be an offspring bern of long and close association with the folios of others; not every professional man becomes calledon in his work. Reed sometime ago announced his retirement from criminal practice and it was only after repeated entreaties that he consented to defend Mrs. Bennett. His many years of activity undoubtedly have imbued him with an understanding of human nature denied to the layman. Much of the atmosphere of his life has been charged with drama; if all these factors have contributed to an easy provocation of tears on his part he cannot then be accused of "weeping with his clients." "Even the most materialistic among us must distinguish, if only for the sake of convenience, between the beast and the beast—"Joseph Wood Kruck. Yes, Mr. Krutch, but some of the more materialistic of us have a hard time doing so. PROFIT TO USE The Kansas legislature yesterday approved the "crimson Bond's bill to amend the "crime of 1929," which was the removal of profits from the state dormitories. Corbin hall has accumulated $40,000 for enlargements and replacements, and this was taken and placed in the state's revenue fund. The agricultural college was likewise deprived of the use of $12,000. Emporia Teachers college of $2,500, and Pittsburgh Teachers' college of $6,000. Some enterprising politician two years ago, on seeing this $600,000 be accumulated and not being used, passed a bill for its removal, stating that it was being saved for a new dormitory. A suggestion has been made that it be used to provide dormitories for the men students of the University. At present there are two residences for women here and none except private rooming houses for men. Are dormitories desirable? It would seem that they are, since both Corbin and Warkins have lists of applicants waiting for admission. It is only fair that the men students should have some organization beside fraternities. Protest has been raised against using the money saved by a women's dorsory for the building of one for the men. If such a man's dorsory were built it is highly probable that the money saved from its funds eventually would be partially spent on the women's buildings, for the profits from all state dorsitories are turned into one state dorsory fund. Whatever one may think of America's experiment in democracy, he must admit this is one of the few countries that would sentence Al Capone to six months. Other nations, on suspicion alone, would probably have given him a life sentence. A WISE HOOVER President Hoover's mental condition has received its share of publicity lately, and probably no American President has encountered more hostility than he. Beginning his administration with the Utopian hope that both politics and partnerships would co-operate with him, he has been beset continually by friendly senators and representatives. As many of the legislators who opposed him were Republicans as were Democrats. He has faced strong opposition on almost every major issue; he has been attacked verbally by almost every politician of note; his Wickersham report is still being laughed at, and even his most ardent supporters prior to the present congressional session have since failed to yield him any effective support. It is little wonder that he has come to feel that human nature is a stranger to Utopian principles. $40,000 taken from the University dormitory surplus was spent for paving, lighting, and special equipment for the power house. The woman always paves. IT'S ALL IN THE POINT OF VIEW If President Howard's move in organizing the Wickersham commission was to aid the "days" in the coming campaign and to show that prohibition is a success, it appears that he may have defeated his cause. When the first report of the commission was presented to the senate it was accepted by the "wet" an evidence on their side of the question, and it is now the Ruskob-Shouse element that has been claiming for the complete report. In the presentation of the report to the senate, certain parts concerning several of the large eastern industrial states were omitted. It seems to be on this part that the anti-pollution action in the Democratic party desire to base their arguments for a "weel" plank in the Democratic platform. If the hopes of this faction are realized they will prove, by an intended "dry" report, not only that prohibition has failed but that there is no reasonable hope of ever enforcing it. It might easily be deduced from the Wickersham report that past methods of enforcing prohibition are inadequate, but it would be a little far-fetched to attempt to prove by this same material that enforcement is impossible. The Wickersham report has not solved the problem. But neither have the wets. "Tells of Midnight Ride."—Headline, Kansas City Times. And the subtitle is probably "Or Confessions of Paul Revere." SPECIALIZED COURSES "Ballyhoo and the Higher Learning" is the subject of an article in a recent issue of the Nation. The author, Benjamin Stelberg, says that the American university just now is probably in a more dangerous position than SPECIALIZED COURSES the advancement of learning has ever occupied before in the history of modern Western civilization. An army of mountebanks and nitwits have invaded the educational field, "beowalkers who profess Per- other Administration of the scien- tic" merchandising of brassieres at a school of Business Administration," he says. There is a great deal of truth in his assertions. The educational trend toward great specialization has introduced a host of specialized courses which have no place in a university of higher learning. There is great need for distinction between far-flung education and real education. fond, footwalkers who process Personnel Administration or the "union" Our Contemporaries On Other Hills MY IMPRESSION OF GANDHI LOVE, HONOR AND KEEP' I knew Gandhi, who now bulks a largely on the world stage, almost thirty years ago. He then lived in Durbar Colony, Nal. He was originally a lit-the-town lawyer. But he became an extremely active worker among the many plantations and in other humble capacities and in other humble capacities. I was a reporter and editorial writer on the Natual Mercury, the most active of the part that of the world. Many and many others of Gandhi came to the office with respects of his activities. He had an extrordinarily keen appetite for publicity. In 1942 he published a book on considerable improvement. It did not take him long to become recognized as the foremost local champion of the condition of his fellow-colony. As he became better known, he naturally received more attention. In those days he was not regarded as an anecdic. So far as any of us knew, we became as much as the of us, he was It might be doing him an injustice to suggest that he has not yet lost his fight for the灯照亮 His attitude toward British Government does, however, exacerbate that he relishes the rule as long filled rather than the薄薄 security. At that, I am inclined, looking back, to believe that Gandhi from the start has been animated by a sinister effort to better the life of his fellow mortals. All of which makes it difficult to guess what Gandhi is likely to do next. B. C. Forbes, in Forbes' Magazine. TAXI In Reno last year, 2,149 divorces were recorded, exceeding by 43 the total number of the previous year. More marriage licenses were issued during the war. The marriages were mostly of Californians avoiding the five-day notice required in that state. Reno is world known as "cali-and-curry divorce system." A bill to allow it to possible file to divorce after 90 days residence in the Idaho state, and forwarded to the house for consideration. It is thought that the bill will carry. Both houses passed a bill providing 90-day residence or divorce applicants. Government Part of that state may make it a statute. And now comes Culah: Political powers of Havana have succeeded in obtaining the public and institutional authority to modernism. According to Havana attorneys, the principal need only be to obtain a transcription made of their marriage certificate, and to grant power of attorney to their counsel. The lawyer is empowered to obtain such an affidavit. He needs only to assure the court that the plaintiff intends to establish legal rights in civil action in sufficiency. The plaintiff may stop a lawsuit two weeks, then return home simply to await the process of law. It is healed by Culah; the American "Indiana Daily Student."
