FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1930 TO PIONEER WOMEN The dedication of the Pioneer Mother statue in Ponce City, Ocala, the other day, brings to mind the great and noble work the women of our grandmothers' day did in the winning of the West. The pioneers have been clarified from time immemorial; but when we mention pioneers we think of them, we think of the musket and the powder horn, the plow and the covered wagon. Now our attention is being directed to the women who walked hand in hand with these men and shared in all the hardships of the frontier. It has always been thus. The glory and the praise is not always placed rightly. Some get less than they deserve. But in honoring our pioneer women we are now awakening to the grim realities of the things these women went through and suffered. We are paying them a late but deserved tribute. A housemother has an enviable job. Think of the swell cusswords she learns. THE BIG BULLY Edda, daughter of Benito Mussolini, the Italian dictator, was married yesterday according to the plans of her father and in the manner prescribed by him. It is said that Mussolini even selected her tresseau. How can any man—even a dictator—choose for any woman—even his daughter—the clothes she will want to wear? It may be she likes little fluffy lacy things in white and he buys her lingerie in colors. Perhaps she likes her underthings in satin and he buys them of lace. Poor Eidil! Despite the fact that it was her wedding, her big day, yet it was not for her to make the plans. Mussolini to do it to all. Not satisfied with hosting all of Italy, he has had to live law regarding his daughter's limone. The American girl, be she daughter of the president or the street sweeper, chooses her own clothes. No one dictates to her. We are properly indignant with the big bully, Mussolini, for not letting Edda pick out her own things too. Washington Square Walks—head dline. Wonder which square Mr. Square checked in the Literary Digest prohibition pol? PRISONS—FOR WHAT? Prisons, it is generally conceded, are placed designs to hold persons who are proved to be a menace to society. That these persons are less deterrimental to society after they have served their term in prison has not been adequately nor satisfactorily explained. Indeed, one is inclined to believe that prisons are more harmful than helpful as to making a socialized being out of a criminal. But whether or not the theory of punishment is correct, the prison system that functions in the United States today is not a system of which to be proud. Theories of dealing with the offender take time before they can be put into actual practice. In the meantime we have a very vivid fact facing us in our housing of prisoners. The pretentious at Columbus, Ohio, had more than twice as many people in it as it was designed to hold. Prison authorities had been told that conditions there in the United States were the worst in the world, when William B. Cox, secretary of the National Society of Penal Information visited these two years ago. Perhaps it was the overcrowded condition of the prison that may have led some of the prisoners to start the fire. But it was not the prisoners' fault that the prisons were fire traps or that they were overcrowded. Prison authorities have been to blame. In such institutions prisoners become worse instead of better. In this particular institution prisoners ever lost the lives that the state was presumably trying to reform. The Thoughtful Freshman says th e had a jolly Easter in spite of h professors. THE LAUREATESHII Robert Bridges, poet laureate of England who died last Tuesday, carried on the work of his office in the independent fashion established by Wordsworth, one of England's greatest poet laureates. Wordworth, Tommyson and Bridges refused to write poems twice a year, New Year and the monarch's birthday, unless inspired by their muse. In this way they removed the drugery and compulsion from the office. They made it an honor for the recipient. They removed the necessity of writing inferior poetry merely to receive an annual stipend. To the next poet to hold the position will pass this legacy and the honor which Souhuey and Alfred Austin tried to defeat by writing quantities of verse rather than poetry. Bridges will probably be remembered as the leading classicist of England for this period, and because he were honorably the coat of poetic spokesman of the empire. Ho, hum. Primo Carrera knocked out another 250 pound opponent in the first round the other night. News is pretty dead nowadays. WINTER COMES Outside, the sun is shining brightly and a fresh greenery speaks of springtime. Inside two happy youths are sipping cola colas through long straws and gigging and then sipping some more. Moments pass unheeded. The tramping feet and shouts of their over-enthusiastic friends go unattended as they stare dreamily into the golden flow of sunlight. In a few weeks they are to graduate from high school, and then college. To them it speaks of another world, an unreality boys with downturned collars and many-colored sweaters put pins on out at least five girls. It is the place where one can stay up all night without one's parents knowing about it, and other unimaginable wonders that make the heart beat a little faster. A prominent Adam's apple bobs up and down as he dreams of being a popular young gentleman about the campus. In fact he even dares to suspect that he may be the leader of his class. She likewise is carried by her imagination into a group of charming girls who admire her new formal with elegance and gourgeous gorgeous corsage which he sent. It is such a pleasant dream, just as springtime is pleasant. But for some reason nature has decreed that there must also be autumn, fall, and a cold winter, and strangely enough when the leaves begin to fail their dreams may seem a little bare also. —A course in the Lawrence Business College—A school doing well what it attempts to do. Women students at Purdue University have started a "charm school" in which they will learn how to hold cocktails and spill cocktails on their formalts.

BOTANY CLUB: Campus Opinion LUCILE CHRISTIE, President. ditor Daily Kansan: I think a lot of the young men at this glorious University of dear old Kansas. I must admit I changed my mind in inaugurating Wednesday dancing when I saw crowds of stalwart young men coming up, ready for what? A week ahead was not going to be merely a dating business, and for that reason some women—women seem to grasp this quicker than men—appeared with their dance attire. We boys an opportunity of dancing with girls they did not know. But what I saw was the usual picture, girls danced on a table full of fat, big clumsy huggily feelings standing in the center of the hall looking pretty foolish. Some of the girls were ignoren some unfortunate girls whom these magnificent lords of creation did not happen to know. These girls can dance and polied the roles of those loats and said, "Now you burns, let's have a舞." Instead they looked in dismay on the entirely un-American girl who pretended to be the boast and the glory of Kansas. The girls finally walked out in disarray. If I had been there, I would have spoken to the girl. I should have spoken my mind to these young fellows in plain words. Even then I am afraid they would not have understood my English. American Farm Bureau Announces Song Contest The American Farm Bureau federation recently announced a world wide contest to obtain the three best songs, selected by all of the American farm bureau meetings.
