TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1831 A RETURN TO SAVAGERY In the minds of the principals connected with the lynching of Raymond Gunn at Maryville yesterday, the whole affair was merely united action on the part of the community to serve the ends of justice. The execution was only slightly more painful and certainly less revolting than the manner in which Velma Colter was designed. Apparently, justice had been dolt out in a liberal measure and no one had any reason for experiencing any qualms of conscience. Why then the shiff so anxious to have the public know that he was "prostrated" in his bed with nervous shack and a sprained beek? Why were the prosecuting attorney and the deputies so eager to have the world hear Ourirth-ly veiled regrets? Apparently, after the heat of the mob fury had subsided, there came something of a realization of the arrogacy of the thing which they had permitted. Their conduct could not be rationalized by expressing the fear that the ends of justice would otherwise not have been served. To suppose that a Missouri jury would acquit a Negro condemned by such a strong chain of circumstantial evidence is abused in the extreme. The mob yesterday was merely a manifestation of the unrestrained fury inherited from primitive man. When put to the test, the power of the law founded on centuries of trial and error in the process of social advance, proved to be a broken reed. The representatives of the people, sworn to execute the sane will of the people, deterred the trust repaired in them. The sheriff, who failed to call on the state militia when the safety of his prisoner was threatened, is guilty of criminal neglect of duty. His cowardly action is a stench in the social heritage. A prison term would be a mild punishment for such descretion of a sacred trust. But the affair is even more of a bloat on the community than on any particular individual. After consulting a year in which not one mob attempt was successful, our neighbor on the east opens the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirty-one with one of the most hideous spectacles in its history. Not only was the little country school house the firepalre of Raymond Gunn, but in its ashes died for the time those principles with whose promulgation the educational system of our country has been charged. TEMPORARILY SETTLED Once more the Big Six eligibility committee has seen fit to clear the University of Kansas as for as the athletes of the Jawhawk school are concerned. But is this controversy definitely settled? From information gleamed in the sporting columns of newspapers throughout this territory and from rumors circulating on the campus and in other places, it is hard to believe matter is disposed of once and for all. C. E. McBride, sports editor of the Kansas City Star, in his column Sunday intimated that all was not well between Dr. Forrent C. Allen, director of athletics at Kansas, and C. L. Brewer, who guides the destiny of athletics at the university of Missouri. Rumors have been prevalent for some time that Allen and Brewer are at loggerheads. Leslie Edmonds has harped continually on the turmoil in the athletic department at Kansas. He has also broached the subject of the strained relations between the two gentlemen pretened above. Why are these two sport writers no more explicit in their accusations? What has the public been led to believe that they have been a victim of his bait for a more deep seated cause of unrest? Why has her been suppression of the intimate new of the Big Six meetings? The answer to these questions and the lifting of the dog surrounding the thrusts of Mr. Bride and Mr. Edmonds might do much to settle the Big Six turmoil. "Alfailla Bill" proposes to vanguish his opponents as Moses vanquished the Amahlakete, believing that then he will have saved his people. If our recollection of biblical history is accurate, the leaders of Israel were all faced with the problem of overcoming loots of Philistines, the Hittites, and a burdge of other "tites" after they had vanished the Amblekets. THE WHITE MAN'S BURDEN When foreign missionary work was in his heyday, and even now in this supposedly enlightened age, we have board of missions coming to our churches and making speeches about the nobility of uplift work among avengers who still sacrificed human beings to the pleasure of the gods, and take delight in seeing their fellows slowly tortured to death. Audiences have been immeasurably impressed by the portrayals, and have given many dollars to send messengers to the dark hands to raise the inhabitants from the depths of adventure. The white man's burden became a very violet thing. Yesterday at Maryville, M., a crowd estimated at 3,000, stood silently by while a human being was sacrificed to the god of racial prejudice—for under no circumstances other than race had would such an outrage have occurred. They prepared the pyre while the high priests of this god were bringing their victim for sacrifice. They voiced no disgrace as the shrieks of the slowly dying man were heard. Some remained to see that no trace of him was left in the flames. The official representatives of civilization rushed not a hand. Does the white man's burden to raise the human race above savagery begin at home? Our Contemporaries A FINE POLICY (The Colorado Silver and Gold) the policy of the athletic board in scheduling contests with colleges and universities outside of our conference, seems to us to be one of the import-ants this year by an A. S. U. C. board. The fine relationships that have been established by the Missouri-Colorado border recently the Kansas-Colorado backers have meant a great deal to this University, and the publicity and fame some have meant money in the coffers. Next year the football season will find three such games on the schedule, Oregon State, Arizona, and Michigan scouted to Oregon and Arizona if at all possible, and all the color of real Colo- The policy of expansion entails, as we have seen in the past weeks, a few changes to the curriculum. During the Kansas series it made it necessary for the students to pay a fee, which would make the deficit was incurred. We believe, however, that the advantages of such policies are not well understood. An unemployed reporter, in desperation, signed up with a circle whose pet was a dog. The reporter's institute could be found. The reporter's job was to do a gorilla's outfit and give advice. The first night he did a single somerault in a leap from the ropes, and the applause was deafening. Then when he did a double leap—the spectators cheered. "Now," boasted the reverend; "go on, swing wem with a triple leap." THE UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM (Name, Mobile Number) But something happened. He slipped, missed his hold, and landed in a lion's cage. The lion made a dash or him. "Heavenst" moaned the trembling reporter, "now what am I going to do?" (New York Mirror) The lion slapped a paw at him and said, "Don't be silly! Do you think you're the only newspaper man out of a 'bib?' The Jayhawk picture will be taken tonight immediately following the orchestra concert. Wear evening dress. K. O. KUENSTEINER, Director.
