WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1930 BRAZIL'S REVOLUTION Benzil's revolution is regarded by Washington officials as the most serious of all the South American revolutions. Although our government interfered to grant $10,000,000 to President Washington to put down the revolution, it will even, at be no easy task. Many of the national forces have joined the rebels and it looks now as if a large part of the country will rise in revolt against the national government. If this happens, it means that the debts to the United States as well as other foreign debts may be repudiated. The principal cause of the revolution in Brazil is the great economic depression which has hit the country terribly hard. The price of the main crop, coffee, has dropped considerably, and there is also a large carry-over of previous year's surplus amounts. Brazil has already borrowed more from other countries than it can repay. Unrest has been caused in the army and navy by difficulty of the government to pay salaries. Political discontent, which has been prevalent for the last two years, has been aroused by resentment against the election of Julia Prestes. Political enemies of the Brazilian government are enemies in the true sense of the word partly because of the fact that in the last two years 200,000 people opposed to the governing party have been jailed. Many of these are free at present and are naturally seeking revenge. It is said that no such civil war as this is occurred in Brazil since the overthrow of the empire in the middle of the last century. Writers, as a rule, are supposed to be clean-minded fellows. But many of them have sweet over a typewriter for hours at a time without having a decent thought. LET'S DIE AND BECOME GREAT THE LAST DAY The latest development in the art of keeping people to be dying and leaving peculiar wills. But what kick do men get out of having their names all over the papers after they are dead and gone? First a man named Zink died and left orders in his will to build a womanless library, allowing no woman to enter its portals and allowing no book by a woman to be included on its shelves. That was quaser, his posing as a woman-hater, for besides having been married twice, and having had a daughter, it was reported that he had had numerous affairs. What was that but a publicity stunt? Perhaps the grave-keeper will take a paper to Zink's monument each day, for surely he must, in his gloetty estate, gloat over his success in crashing the front pages and editorial columns. Then there was the Chicago realtor, Rockwell Sayre, who died leaving a one-pound box of candy each to Mrs. Coolidge and 108 other persons who he thought would help destroy cats, his pet antipathies. He left provisions for prizes to be given the first one-hundred persons who killed a cat and threatened death to anyone who keeps cats to kill mice, when nice, clean rattraps are available. Mrs. Coolidge, he claims, killed the White House cat. He filled 35 pages with poetry and essays on prohibition, pacifism, birds, cats, capital punishment and war. Why did he wait until he died to make known his ability as a writer? Was he perhaps a believer in the theory that a good man is never appreciated until he is gone? Should the Kansan wait until it is extinct before it tells old so-and-so what it thinks of him? It seems to be the thing to do. It is estimated that some 700,000 mentally abnormal persons are running about in these United States. Possibly the best we can do is to pretend to be sane. RAINY BLUE DAYS "The Heaven's weep" is one of poetry's favorite similes. Euriespedes used it when he was writing about the vine-land hills of Greece, and Goy-Lomardo repeated it when he crooned "I Get the Blues When I Raine." But what is there depressing about rain? Rainy air brushes cool moist fingers across one's face. The constant drip of black rainches tree trunks, and intensifies the greenness of leaves. Voices soften in the rain, and noises lose their sharmess. And if the wind drives along, if there is howling wind in swaying trees, what then? There is the exhilaration of vitality. Pain may bring exhilaration, and it may bring peace, but melancholy, and the blues—never! A wisenicker sophomore mentions the other day that French II was an “even” course—even worse than French I. "It may take a family of moderate means years to recover from the financial drain imposed by one major illness," said Chancellor Lindley in an address delivered to the Southwest Clinical Society recently. "That should not be missed, but it does not wait for it. But the physicians, on the other hand, are not getting more than their share of the national income of 90 billion dollars. In fact, they are getting somewhat less than their share. Yet the cost to the public of medical service is too great. A committee of the American Medical Association is working on the problem." He cited the instance of a district in Saskatchewan, Canada, where the farmers taxed themselves for the privilege of medical care in time of need The doctors were paid from public funds. There was only a slight fee for the first call, but after that none. Quoting an article from "Middle- town," by Robert S. Lynd and Helen Merrall Lynd, Doctor Lindley continued: "Some fifty of the local doctors spend much time sitting in their offices waiting for patients to come in and proffer the requilete money for treatment, while some 38,000 people, most of whom have some physical defect, are only in a few of these cases having these defects treated by the best medical skill the city possesses." Community health service, consisting of free medical clinics supported by taxation like our student hospital, would help to solve the problem. The profession's services would be co-ordained, illness would not cause the serious financial backtrack that it has caused in the past, and everyone would be able to get the best medical advice whenever he needed it. It is possible that Big Bill Thompson will feel differently about this racketeer business now that it is having an effect in the family circle. We recall a decade or so ago when Booth Tarkoning shaped a mellow wilt to produce Penrod and his cohorts; we recollect the gorgeously funny "Bunker Bean" written by Harry Leon Wilson; we tittered rather boyishly at a seemingly robust Ring Larder. Humour in those days marched along with a warm tumult of laughter that was apt to disturb the whole household with its amiable clarity. From all appearances modernity and 300 have garned American humour in new shirt. Either that, we think, or its age has taken off the old one. Today's humour upsets the family, too, but its cause is not hilarity; it is concern over the implanting of oddly adult notions in the lid who absently looks through one of the modern things like "Is Sex Necessary?" or "Salt Water Taffy". Our humour today has a tendency to smirk, to grind sardonicly, and to curl the lip. It has a complexity. It plays devilishly on Freudian GROWED UP There will be a meeting of the K. U.

Modern humour requires, we consider, a blaze worldliness that was an antithesis of the stuff we knew before the war when we were in short pants, and got catches in our sides from observing Herman and Verram's exploits in Penndra's back alley. The change is not inexplicable. Cynic matures it; swift-motion crystallizes it; Peter Arnos relegated the wit to muy corresponsibly by a satirical lift of an intellectual lip or the sophistry of a knowing eyebrow. People of 1950, at least the fashionable people, want a feastness and modernity to their humour so that it may complete the rest of the ensemble of swift-moving GEORGE O.

Editor Daily Kansas: I encircle check for my subscription to the Kansan. I thought I would do without it this year, but the snappy editorials made me feel that the paper would be worth while again. The editor said he would give a more sensible knowledge in a day when the general moll spirit so rules that it is not especially popular to have brains. It looks like a good chance for one that really uses his brain to get abent in the world. Keep snapping into it. P Campus Opinion PUMPS Grey.
