THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1929 BOSTON CENSORSHIP A Boston jury—which was composed of a jacket, a hatter, a shipper, an auto washer, a house painter two machinists, two salesmen, two clerks, and a treasurer—found that when Donald S. Friede, formerly vice president of Boni and Liveright, sold a copy of "An American Tragedy" to a Boston police lieutenant during the height of the famous battle of books in 1927, he was guilty of selling a book containing observes, indecent, and impure language and manifestly tending to corrupt the morals of youth. Passages from the book were read to the jury, and all pleas for the admission of the book in its entire two volumes were denied. Until such time as the law is changed or the Supreme Court may get aside this verdict, all modern literature in Massachusetts hovers in fear under the tyrannical figure of the law. It is difficult to believe that in an era when universities standing for educational enlightenment in its richness and fullest meaning, have reached the strength which they occupy in American life today that such narrowness and biogray could exist. It is certainly most difficult to tolerate such biogy. Under this censorship, the Bible, the works of Shakespeare and the classics—all monuments of the finest minds that the world has known—cannot escape condemnation. Such a law of censorship as the state of Massachusetts has enacted should be strictly avoided for it may be seen to what catastrophe the statute may lead. With such conditions existing, not yet may the United States call itself a truly educated nation. And to those lovers of books, it is depressing to know that there are persons seeking in our greatest literature that which is suggestible of obscurity, rather than that which is beautiful, and the lesson in living which it has to give. FEDINE HAPPINESS Along with reparation problems, farm relief ideas, and the social table placement war in Washington comes another important topic for discussion. It centers about how to prevent cats from catching birds. Several suggestions have been offered already and the discussion is hardly started. One person thinks it would be a good plan to put a car on the cat, attach a cord and fasten the cord to a wire stretched across the yard, while another deep thinker believes that a bell on a string around the cat's neck would warn the bird of the cat's approach. The plans for equestcribing the line's pleasure sound heartless and unnecessary. In the spring it is natural for the cat's fancy to turn to thoughts of catching birds. Birds with their aerodynamic appliances are quite well equipped against the energetic advances of the cat and they should be able to protect themselves without sarcificing all the cat's fun in so doing. If a cat is not utterly accenting in personality and initiative he would recent being tied up like an murmur child or folling a bell like a stray sheep. One day of each innate treatment should serve to develop such bobshi悲 emotion in the线 line's mind that he would spend the night emitting one of those "blood and thunder" concertics. If the cat survives the facilitate of dire threats that night he should be "cat enough" to start anicide proceeding the second night—one life a night for nine nights until the light of his life is completely extinguished. WHO KNOWS? Farm relief, or at least a plan for it, would seem to be within the grasp of the present generation of tillers of the soil. But is it? There seems to be some misunderstanding as to what relief the farmer needs. The Senate is squabbling over the debenture clause of the farm bill, facing an almost sure veto if the measure is adopted. That is a technical matter on which a lot of time is being wasted. That time is being wasted because recently the representatives of eleven farm states, the foundation of American farming interests, met in Kansas City and decided that the Republican party's farm plan is a minus quantity as far as help for the farmer is concerned because it omitted the possibility of co-operative selling in a big way. So eleven states arrange themselves against Mr. Hoover's farm bill. The bill seems due for a defeat, as the other did. In the light of pact events it would seem that a bit of research work among the farmers themselves might help the political jugglers in the capital city. FORCED RESPECT When the doors of a Washington jail changed shut behind Harry Sinclair recently the most American event of the year of several years, or occurred. Fraught with meaning was the incarceration of one of the world's richest men. The liability for their corrupt actions was established for politics clans some time ago in the Fall-Dooney matter, but millions in each seemed impregnable to the law. Now that matter changes, and the more possession of a few millions of dollars does not excuse disrespect for the canons that govern us. Millionaires are classed with the hitherto butts of the law, the poorer and middle classes. Now because a man has amassed a fortune he is not above regulation by that institution that is sometimes spoken of as government of, by, and for the people. HOOVER AND EFFICIENCY HOOVER AND EFFICIENCY Carrying out his campaign promise to improve the law enforcement agencies, President Hoover has given Attorney General Mitchell blanket authority to clean up the federal decipher. As a Justice of the Supreme Court, of William De Greut, Brooklyn, New York, from his post as United States attorney. Instead of complaining with the request, the attorney appealed directly to the president. Indications are that Attorney General Williams will be supported by the president. By delegating authority and then holding his executives responsible for the efficient operation of their departments, Hoover is applying one of the rules that has long been deemed necessary for the efficient operation of private enterprise. There is every reason to believe that it will work in government if it is given a fair chance. Unless an executive is given power to discharge workers that he thinks are not measuring up to his standards he cannot be held responsible for any lack of efficiency. A step in the same direction is a recent decision by the supreme court that the president may discharge officials without consent of congress, providing that body confirms the new appointment. Congress should be the policy forming agency and the president should be held responsible for the administration of government. And if the president and the executive departments are to be held responsible for efficient government they should have full power to appoint and discharge officers as they see fit. Campus Opinion --rather weather the past month has made playing on the K, U, golf course almost an impossibility. Rubber mittens for the golfer in order that he might be able to cross the moracea formed in the low places on the fairways. Also the greens were paced to a flourish. Cups were water filled, flags were either missing or lying at the edges of the greens. The grass grew until most of the players time was taken up with playing for the more ocless white soles. Editor Daily Kansan: Physical hazards are had enough on the course, and when one has to spend two-thirds of his time hunting for lost balls and then finishing his round in a hole, he will think that he is a golf course, K. U, has a good pasture for livestock. Of course scores are not counted, since it is not to be expected that one would want to think in sums above three hours when playing a mere nine holes. Oh well, better than nothing at all. L. A. C. "Inside Stuff" --schools was worried about a book review that he was assigned to have written. He had to ask the teacher about it for some time, the younger copied, word for word, a book review out of the New York Times book store. The teacher was careful to review under the careful eye of the instructor was given a C minus. The review under the fense of the New York Times. And maybe the review was only a C minus review. At any rate, the story might be better if it were one. One, a great mass of the stuff which gets into print is better out of it; the other, many instructors do not know what is in the book and are not a terribly good proof of either. And Carl Sandburg said that judging art was a subjective process after Prof. R, C. Moore of the department of geology is writing a paper for the University to announce fossil inludes. In due time, that article will find its way into the Kauai Journal of Natural History and it will also enter some hundreds of newspaper offices in the city. Thus does a service headed by Dr. E. E. Shosson, one of K. U.'s prominent alumni, bring to the world of everyday affairs the newest advances in science, in a form easily read and comprehensible. He has accomplished another step forward in the art of making the significant interesting. Our Contemporaries YES! WHO CAN TELL? Every once in a while some story or other about the unfairness of the marking of papers gets into circulation. At this point, we know of this kind in which a student is alleged to have turned in to his instructor as his own the paper of some alleged faculty person, and receiving a reward for his work. The most recent of this life was reported recently in New York. There, it seems, a junior in one of the high It all bolls down to the fact that these stories are not proof that the present mode of marking papers is all wrong. For who can tell?
