FRIDAY, APRIL 12, 1923 CONCERT COURTESY One of the world's greatest violinists played before a University auditor on Wednesday night. The audience was an appreciative one, as such gatherings usually are, but it was not very contours. After the final number, without giving the artist an opportunity to take a single curtain call, the audience began raving, putting on coats, and walking out. Even when he returned for an encore it was seven minutes before the commission subsisted and there was some noise at the back of the hall during the number. Mischa Elman is one of the most gracious of artists. He is not the type who wait for a breathless silence before starting; he does not take long rests between groups; he is generous with his envoes. A University audience, supposed to be capable of appreciating fine things, should know how to accord such a man the greatest respect and courtesy. THE NEED OF JUSTICE How would you feel if you were on a jay and cat facing a criminal while the court pronounced the death verdict, the result of your findings? To the average person the experience is highly undeniable. This fact is brought out very clearly in the Kansas City criminal court where 157 veniremen were questioned before the panel of 41 could be chosen. The state will strike off the names of fifteen men, the defenses twenty, and the remaining twelve will comprise the jury which will pass upon the fate of Tony Bonilla in connection with the Home Trust Co. robbery and the murder of "Happy" Smith. This is the second trial. The first ended in a hung jury. This case is only one of many which are coming into the courts daily, but it is a case which shows the antiquated condition of trial by jury. If the courts are to function properly they should deal justice speedily and surely without partiality. There is only one remedy that will better the situation: a professional class of jurymen who know law as well as lawyers and judges. Such a system would not perfect the situation unless man were perfect, in which event there would be no need for courts, but it would eliminate waste of time and money, speed up justice, and give everyone an equal chance before the bar of justice. NATIONAL ORIGINS In spite of President Hoover's unwilling proclamation that the national organs law shall go into effect July 1, the whole question of immigration is as unsettled as any question can be. Since its incipient in 1924 when it was brought forward as an amendment by the late Representative Rogers, Republican of Massachusetts, the bill has met with a great deal of opposition; and it is safe to say that at no time since its original adoption has a majority in the House favored the plan. Protests have been laced on the very probable inaccuracies in the data by which the quotas are determined, and on the feeling of discontent that is bound to occur among the nations discriminated against. As a result the House Immigration Committee in a resolution in 1927 asking for the repeal of the entire national-origins plan said: "The great majority of the people of the United States, including a majority of the citizens of foreign birth and of recent foreign ancestry have accepted the 1890 census a quota basis and realize that it is working remarkably well for the purpose for which it was intended. . . . The carrying of on strike and feeling that should not exist in a country of 118,000,000 people made up of the blood stock of the peoples of the civilized world, should be avoided if the end to be obtained can be grained in any other way." Lact March 2 the Committee reported a resolution for the postponement of the effective date of the national-origins plan stating at the same time its preference for an outright repeal of the plan. The resolution passed the House but was defeated in the Senate on March 3 through the Senators voting to adjourn. However, the Senate vote of the night before to convene on Sunday had been taken as foreshadowing adoption of the resolution; the Republican members were for the most part in favor of it. Since the Republican majority in the Senate of the Seventy-fifth Congress will be increased, as a result of the last election, from three to fifteen it seems probable that any effort that may be made by President Hoover during the special session for repeat of the plan will meet with success. OIL, OVERPRODUCTION President Hoover as an engineer and efficiency expert could not be expected to tolerate the waste and excess production now prevalent in the oil industry. Upon taking office he entered upon a policy of oil conservation. Backing the conservation policy, Secretary Wilber rejected 5500 applications for prospecting permits and 29,000 outstanding permits will be cancelled where drilling has not been started. Co-operating with the government, the oil industry is striving to restrict production of crude oil. The output of the Seminole field in Oklahoma has been curtailed and the producers in California have agreed to limit production by 143,000 barrels a day. Overproduction restraining measures are necessary when 2,671,000 barrels of crude oil are being produced daily. Of this amount 253,150 barrels are going into storage. Factors show that there is more evidence of waste in overproduction. Last year 912,000,000 barrels of petroleum were used to produce gasoline on the basis of an average yield of 41 per cent. Had the demand required, a rate of 60 per cent could have been produced. Overproduction that leads to such waste is detrimental to the public welfare. The administration and the oil industry should work together to protect the public by conserving the supply of petroleum. Seniors at Northwestern University are carrying caries as the class symbol.

It is due to "Inside Stuff" That old aphorism about "let those who will be clever" also has its applications around a newspaper office. He used it at the expense of accuracy is often great, particularly as such headlines undoubtedly entertain those readers not injured by the "humor". A case in point was a recent story of a former police officer fraternity. Ms. Marjorie Whitney, of the department of design, has fitted up an old barn into a studio; and the fraternity members were entertained therein. A copreader, to the delight of the editors, wrote a "clever" headline. The temptation to let it by it was great; but the old feeling of public responsibility arose, and the head wagged at it. Mr. Spencer, the parition of Miss Whitney and the fraternity, Insider is giving it here as an example of what might happen if a sense of responsibility did not occur. And the paper workers.

Before sunrise or after sunset, the sun is seen with the naked eye during an eclipse, but Doctor Stetson hopes to make measurements of its brightness with his photometers, and to determine between it and the corona itself.
