REMINISCENCES OF "FREE SILVER"
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1930
The growing importance of the tariff in Britain challenges all parties. Not alone are the Labourers divided, but the Conservatives and Labour alike have gingered up the question.
Two of the most influential newspaper owners in Britain, Lord Beaverbrook and Lord Rothmire, the latter a brother of the late Lord Northallie, have proposed free trade within the British Empire combined with protection against outsiders. Their proposal has threatened to wreck both the Labo and the Conservative parties.
Stanley Baldwin, long a protectionist, has been under fire for favoring the new scheme; Ramsey MacDonald, long a free trader, by his absence seems to indicate hesitancy and perhaps an inclination to take advantage of being kept by Philip Snowden's obstinacy that has kept him from yielding to the popular demand.
A multitude of complex causes pull at England to consider the plan: severe unemployment continues in spite of everything the government has tried; taxes are scarce; tension with other European countries is still great, although considerably reduced by Mac-Donald's consiliary foreign policy; England has lost her leadership leader; Europe has had to face terrific competition from everywhere. As a drawing man clutches at a straw England is willing to try anything once, and the abuse of tariff discrimination is the most handy thing.
It is very interesting to watch from this distance. It can only be hoped that the good sense of the English people will help them to realize what folly it would be to restrict their trade at the very time that it is already suffering because of its barriers.
There would be little unemployment and depression if the whole world had freedom of access to all markets-if American farmers could, for example, sell sorghum wheat to starving Chinese Trade barriers such as tariffs help to cause agricultural depressions and unemployment; they do not mitigate such its in any way.
H. R. H., LINGUIST
His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, who needs no introduction to radio fans, or to any one else for that matter, has added to his long string of accomplishments the art of making a public address over the radio. Speaking into a microphone is an art, and it can be made a fine art if it is done correctly.
But the Prince will never become a finished officer until he improves his English. It is a sad state of affairs when the heir to the English throne speaks a language English-spoken Americans cannot understand. The Prince murders the King's English and pours forth into the other such a jargon of typically bridged British accents that those in middle western America who have always spoken English as is, was, verbatim, or in any event in the common method of most Kansans, cannot make out whether the Prince is upholding the honor of good England or cusing somebody out in Scandinavian.
Such a thing, it can be said before it goes any further, is unfortunate Everyone like the Prince, everyone
is anxious to hear what he has to say.
The only remedy seems to be an English-speaking tutor. Then, after the Prince has learned his English to the satisfaction of his listeners, if he will only give his addresses in the evening when it is more convenient to listen to him, everything will be lovely.
A PERVERSION OF JUSTICE
PRESERVATION OF JUSTICE
President Hoover has been asked in interdece in the Mooney-Billings case by the executives of the Scripps-Howard newspapers as the result of a recent educational conference of that organization. The conviction of Mooney and Billings was characterized by the editors as "judicial byrading" and an appeal was made to President Hoover, who asked them and as chief executive of the United States, to see that justice is done these two men, who were convicted of murder in connection with a bomb explosion in the 1916 Preparedness day parade in San Francisco. The Scripps-Howard newspapers are now interested in seeing that the condemned receive justice because of their belief in the man's innocence (because of the fact that such world-wide attention has been focused upon the case that it cannot possibly be dropped until the present situation is remedied. Our journals throughout the country especially the Nation and New Republic are displaying an equal determination to see that these men are treated fairly in the courts.
It also appears that the people of California are arraised over the injustice done the men, and politician attribute the defeat in the primaries of the present governor in part to his treatment of the case.
"Every material witness contributing to the framed-up conviction of these two men has been proved a perjurie," declare the Strips-Haward papers. "All the living jurors who participated in the conviction of Mooney, together with the judge who sentenced Billings, are now convinced of the innocence of those two men who have spent 13 years in prison. Both judge and jurors are working for their pardon."
The evidence is conclusive that the two were convicted because of their radicalism, not because of their guilt.
THOMAS ON ROOSEVELT
Norman Thomas, campaigning for Congress from the sixth New York district, recently characterized Governor Roosevelt of New York as "a gentleman of vapency liberal learning." The implication, of course, is that Roosevelt would like to be liberal if he only knew how; that he considers liberalism as an attitude of mind which somehow ought to characterize him.
Mr. Thomas should be elected to office once, if for no other reason than to give him an idea of how liberal the public permits any official to be. Rammy MacDonald in England long ago found out that what he could alleviate in a campaign speech and what he could do as Prime Minister were entirely different things. Perhaps no surer proof can be found that we really do have a democracy as the funniest government agency in the country. No governor, no congressman, no executive, no matter how liberal or radical or humanitarian, can be very far ahead of his constituents and remain in office.
It is easy (and desirable) for socialists to urge more progressiveness and intelligence in government; their vision is undistorted by any hope of real control. It takes no courage, because no expediency must be involved, for a minor party to declare itself definitely on the problems it tries to face. Indeed, the definition of issues and the presentation of solutions to them is the function that third parties in America have traditionally performed. They need not straddle; major parties almost always must.
If Mr. Thomas and Mr. Rosevelt were to change places, other things being equal, it would be Mr. Rosevelt who would characterize Mr. Thomas as "a gentleman of vaguely liberal learning." The circumstances under which he took his oath. "If I could dwell where Israel! Hatchd, hatchd, and be where I—"
MAYBE IT COULDN'T CLIMB THE HILL
What has happened to the campus wreck? Has it grown too collegiate for this sophisticated student body? Is it too arid for this time of year, and will it make its appearance again in
the spring; or do lower gas prices make newer cars possible?
no matter what the reason, then topleas, fenderless, shineless modes of transportation are sadly missed and missing, and now no man can really rate unless he drives a trim, nickel-plated, red tired coupe or rooftop such as is the fashion of the campus.
Camus Opinion
Editors: Delia Vanness
University of Kansas—epitome of freedom, home of democracy, fairly ensuring the will and independence Justice Scalia presided over several plains. On door Mount Oread we breathe the pure virgin air of a surrounded dominator and in such mind we saw down upon the common populace and misunderstood "Slaves of blood, power, grath, God help them. Save freedom of intoxication from the poison. Five them from Morgan, from Carriage, from Ford. Put the red blood of freedom into the weighty teeth of the slave. Give their eyes to see, ear to bear, and minds to grasp the significance of the weights they have been brought to bestow upon them the strength to throw forever from them the shackles of the ruling barons who are directing justice to the slave that destroys his skin upon the rocks, Amur."
Clever people, these Jayhawkers,
Clever people to keep wide awake so that no designing power or organization can creep稳住ility in and rob their citizens. Clever people to self-government, their right to equate justice as justices their merits.
How happy we Joyhawners all, should be to realize that the most rihine and puppy numbers of the most influential men in America is a remarkable instance of business efficiency that a group so committed in organization as the Joyhawners are capable of being the most capable men and women for the business stall. That the geni of Kansas University liberals can form a group for the edifinition of our yearbook. And The帕-Helene Council, as far removed from political intrigue as Al Siam is from "failure."
Politics? We are as free from politics in the ocean that does
lies in the winter that now.

EDUCATION BEING WHAT IT IS
(K.C. Gorman, Oct. 17, 1920)
A college graduate, who was inter-
tuted mainly in literary courses but
received great benefit from the athleti-
cism training offered by many mural-
mind-raising question. Why is it that
the public is complacent about scho-
larships, jobs and other assistance to
the students? What are the studies
but becomes deeply agitated (i.e.
is to be hoped such is the case) when
any assistance of a corresponding charac-
terist is given a number of the footbal-
ing events?
The explanation is not readily to be found. But when all other resources have been exhausted, one might believe that the difference in attitude in the two cases is due to the fact that the purpose of an educational institution is to education.
The Times hit the nail right on the head. —Kansan.

As freetalf fears and doubt and deep despair
As Phantoms vanish at the dawn of day
And passeth soon the weary night's

New hopes, new faith, new strength
new passions fair

Then came again new fancies bright
To learn and do, and new pure loves which bear
So, when I planned at thee, and saw

which been All life's fresh glory in their bright ar-
That thou wert fairest of all womankind
When in my heart I felt my life replete With love of thee, then in the singing

With love of thee, then in the singing wind
'Sweet One, thou art in kindliness most
fair.'
But by the loving three was comforted
—by Frederick Wirth.
Poured I my cares, and, fears forever
died.
And in thy gentleness a joy to me;
My life itself lies in my love for thee.
Once, when my heart did first begin to疼.
breathed to thee this simple melody
Sweet one, thou art in kindness most
fair.
And in they gentleness a joy to me *to*
so when I see three sitting nearby the
one who is my dear, and whose life
my love which thine is to eternity
"One sweet, one kind of kindness
One sweet, one kind of kindness
And in thy gentleness a joy to me."
My life itself lies in my love for thee,
I wish you well.

The Colonel Decides
"The Column Room
"Prepare for inspection!"
"Open RANKS! March!"
The files opened and the inspection began. Down the line came the inspector who drew the automatic pistols from the holders as the inspecting officer came into view. The officers of if it were yesterday. Carporal number four of the first tank had brought in his gun, and the police traced the clip and pulled the slide and the officer had taken the pistol, etc.
The corporeal grouped the weapon, inserted the clip, closed the slide and started to lower the padded handle on a crashing report. The insulting officer crumpled to the floor. Chance followed. Orders were mapped out; but the officer was not there.
Academia happens. Yet, how had the cartridge got into the club? Why had he taken the stray bullet before he started to return it to the bolster? These were the questions that academia asked.
over the affair, he could see how the accident might easily have happened. Mr. Reid's platoon of pistols in the hands of men like the corporal. There was something bushy.
By some coincidence, Colonel Halle had been appointed the Trial Judge Advocate. He was to decide the case. He was to be put on trial. He be put out of the service to hurl the thing up? Should he be sent to the disciplinary harraca for a long term of imprisonment? Should he be disqualified from his service ® be forever his citizenship.
It was well known that because of a bit of insubordination the inspecting officer, Captain Andre, had once been harboring with the corporal. There had been a chance to talk about it; would the corpalene have killed Captain Andre out of hate? The coronel hoped, he wanted to believe that the corporal would not. And yet, how else could it happen?
The colonel let his head sink upon the table. He was wary, and felt that the load upon his shoulder was more than he could bear. The young man whose life was being ruined by an affair that might all be after it came to pass were the army regulations regarding court-martial and punishment, punishment of the murderer, if such the corby Clyde Thoroman.
By reason of his long service and his rank, the colonel might, by appeal, have the corporal released, the affair hushed up. He could answer the question of the question was in his hands. He must decide. The colonel sighed. He took up the papers on his desk. He reviewed the record of the preliminary report. He found a minute detail in his mind, making sure that he had not overlooked any item in the case. The patrols had all been opened. There were no cards issued. There had no excuse for any accident nor had such an accident occurred before. Such a thing was unanswered.
At last the colon put down the papers. He sat a long time, thinking. Finally he rose to his feet. He had made his decision.
The court-martial dragged out, leng and tiring. At last the examining board wrote its decision, a decision it was later reaffirmed by Judge Hale, reatted at the head of the leng alle, looked tougher old and hungrier than he had been, the colonel addressed him, "This court finds you guilty of the deliberate pre-emptive murder on September the twenty-first, Anno Domini one thousand nine hundred twenty-one. It is my dutus as to your intention to sentence you to fifteen years in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth,
"And I hope, sir, that at the end of that time you will have learned how to be a man, not a puppet, ruled by 'batred and prejudice.'
The collarset sat down, tears rolling down his checks. The staff officers sat down, their hands in the back of the room whispered shrilly, "My God!" That sentence to his own
