THE WEEK
SUNDAY, MARCH 10, 1929
Herbert Hoover became the thirty first president of the United State Monday, while the whole world "lost in" on the radio. In his inaugural address he called for a commission to investigate law enforcement and in particular the abuses that have grown up under the eighteenth amendment. The same day Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge, private citizens for the first time in thirty years, departed for their home in Northampton, Ma., where it is said that Coolidge will become a man of letters. The "official spokesman" of the White Home retired with Mr. Coolidge since President Hoover has made it plain that he can be quitted directly in the newspapers on official utterances.
Col. Robert W. Stewart was ousted as chairman of the Standard Oil company because of his conflict with John D. Rockefeller, *j*, meanwhile Mexican rebels captured Juarcez near the line from El Paso, where stray ballots killed one small child and injured another.
At the University, F. D. Farrell,
president of the Kansas State Agricultural College, spoke at convention on "Some Fragments of a Working Philosophy" and Two Guns White Calliox, famous Indian chef and three of his triumphs, visited K. U., on their way to a ceremonial in Topeka. Kansas lost a basketball game to the Angloes while the track men have started working out in preparation for the spring relay.
MEXICO'S BUSINESS
The people of the United States are more worried about the revolution in Mexico than the Mexicans themselves. Crowds go about, the cities as usual. A night between a lion and a bull is scheduled to take place in the City of Mexico. Theaters and cinemas are still open, and probably will continue to be in spite of the big headlines about the recent uprising. .
The cable censorship has been lifted Evidently, the government appears to be getting the best of the argument. Still President Hoover has made plans, it was reported, for protecting American in Junrez. The whole matter is giving the newspapers something to feature. There have been other robberies in Mexico and the people of Mexico have gone on about their business.
American business seems to be in Mexico and not in America; so Americans are trying to do their work.
CAMPAIGN PROMISES
CAMPAIGN PROMISES
Herbert Hoover has fulfilled his campaign promise in calling an extra session of Congress for April 15. The outcome of that session, its accomplishments toward farm and tariff legislation, will be out of his hands.
The call indicates the specific purpose for the session, outside of that indication the president cannot control it any more than he can control the course of a regular session. Filibustering and lobbying can take place; extraneous bills can be introduced; the purpose of the call may never be fulfilled.
There should be some way in which
an extra session should be called to net on one particular question and no other. When legislation on some subject is nostephed by filbustering methods or crowded out by other business, and when the desire of the people is that this question be taken up, there should be some means of forcing its consideration. Because there is no such provision, those vitally interested in farm legislation can only await the achievements of the new Congress with hope.
VICTORY TO ROCKEFELLER
In winning his fight to oust Col. Robert W. Stewart, from the board of directors of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., is entitled to all credit for the he can has taken and the service he has accomplished in favor of public interests.
During the long and bitter heat between the two oil kings, Stewart's connection with the Continental Trading Company, a still mysterious link in the drama of the Teapot Dome scandal, was again brought to the public attention. Stewart, in an official statement to the press, denied any connection with the company, stating that while he personally had never received a dollar from the transactions the Standard Oil of Indiana had made several million dollars. However, in direct contradiction to this statement, it is understood that Stewart received $720,000 in Liberty Bonds from the pool of profits of the trading company.
So it was with these facts in mind that the same shareholders who voted to throw out Stewart elected in his place Dr. W. Merrigan Burton, former president of the Standard Oil Company. The victory of John D. Roecke fjer is to be applauded.
Q. E. D.
Numberless times it has been proved that a theory is valuable only until it has been accepted. Upon acceptance, investigators set to work to discover the next forward step, which only too often upsets the original theory completely.
Dr. Luther Pardum, director of personnel at the University of Missouri has demonstrated this truth recently. Educators have been attempting to prove the theory that homogeneous grouping of students, according to age, sex, intelligence score, and identity of teacher, gave the student so grouped an advantage over their heterogenous grouped. Doctor Pardum's conclusions, based on facts obtained from results in five schools are that homogeneous classes do not gain more than heterogeneous classes do not cover more course material do not run for further efforts, and the number of failures is not reduced. Educators must look elsewhere for a solution of their problems, if Doctor Pardum's discoveries are to be accepted conclusively. Instead of finding an ideal solution, they have merely made the first unacceptable move. The experiment is proven valuables, or nearly so, and the flick must be gone over again. It shown that it is not safe to believe any solution is conclusive in any degree until successive theories fail to over fire. Then it is best to keep the fingers crossed, and to ask "What next?"

Gum Harvest Is Simple Process With Madagascar Rubber Plant
Washington. — A new species of rubber tree, hibiscus unknown in this country and almost exterminated in its native land, was brought back to Washington by Dr. Charles F. Swingle of the U. S. Department of Agriculture from Madagascar. The plant is one of the most remarkable rubber-producers that has ever lived, in the ease with which the gum can be harvested. The rubber separates itself out from the latex on exposure to the air, according to Doctor Swingle, and no elaborate congluation or smoking process is necessary. Years ago, when the native of Madagascar were collecting rubber for the French, they would simply cut gases in the tree, and then go round next morning and pool out airs of rubber.
"Inside Stuff"
--at The New Cafeteria
"To print or not to print" is the question of whether a document should be digitized. The question rose at the Kanman office recently when two fraternities were disciplined for betting on a college football game.
Because the athletic office did not announce the names, the Kansas sports department decided to abide by the insider's order and a quam when the decision was made, for keeping the names out of such a story simply three suspensions on every fraternity on the Hill. The team had only two fraternities and probably only a few men in each of those. The information was available. To print it would in a way he breaking down the rules, and to print it would cause undue suspicion to fall on the whole fraternity system. Furthermore, the disciplinary committee should admit when the culprits are known to the public only as "two fraternites."
Some newspapers decide such matters in one way, some in another. The Kansan decided and acted accordingly. One of the journalists who apologized for the Kansan was wrong.

THE EXTRA SESSION
President Howard Eisenhower session 1974, called in for an imperial ordine ad hoc, will carry forward a precedent of thirty-four years. We must go back to Bemison and who, elected to succeed some one other than himself failed to call an extra mission, Goverr Cleveland to take on the task, topexel the Sherman Silver Act, McKinley called for one for March, 1878, to exact the Dingey tariff, to take up the tariff and the income-inclusion amendment, Woodrow Wilson summoned an extortion session in April, 1878, to enforce legislation; and one met under president Harding in 1921 to consider his budget, the tariff and revision of
It might almost be said that the calling of an extra session by a new *president* has become a fixed part of government. Now, we go through the waitful and anguishing procedure of holding a hammershot session of Congress, more or less title in nature, from December to March; but the next meeting must take on the genuinely important work to which the incoming Administration is pledged. This intrational system could easily be abolished as soon as the Senate would terminate to the Constitution would bring the newly chosen congress into regular session early this month. And then the sixteen months after its election; and would fix the inauguration of the *president* a fortnight later in January. The country would then get a fresh start in government, easyy for work, within three months after election. — New York World.

Editor Daily Kansan:
The sports writers well deserve the trophy they will receive way they may have handled the basketball games and not for staging the wheel-chair chair race to make a lot of noise.
The bane of the coaches is the reorder that insists on getting all his information over the telephone and sending them with gross errors and many times some very well-defined falschools in he heads of the stories. The recent book *The Daughter of the Institution* was made that he teams were fighting for the celery position and that Kansas hat light but this was not the case as the team was outnumbered by the big Six Conference. Furthermore, if said writers are so infailible why does it appear in the same story they wrote? With the printed box score count while

The difficulty about this primitive collecting was that it came during a period of time when native Americans were encouraged into excessive and wholly unregulated collection. The problem is the pose that had the golden eggs, and in a few years there were no more.
Rat System Is Life Saver
At all it does, the Doctor Swingle says, to the unique root system of the tree, which is unlike that of any other tree. The roots of tuberon, thickenings like sweet potatoes, strung together after the fashion of sausages. The tubers are kept in the moist soil of the plant to survive in the desert, through a drought as long as six years. With this system of uninterrupted moisture, natives of the rubber forest were able to survive the massacre, and to begin life over again for the species after the rubber rubbers had gone extinct.

But so nearly completely bad the species appears out of place. The herbarium specimen is grazing in locked greenhouse in Washington there is not another living plant out here. So the herbarium specimen is rare. The U. S. National Herbarium does not
With the assistance of Prof. Heuri Humbert of the University of Algiers, a noted French botanist who is an expert on the plants of Madagascar, he has developed a stock of living specimens of the plant. The specimens can be propagated from the stem cuttings, but it is of slow growth, and it will require years before the stock can be increased to a high stock. The experimental stock can be undertaken.
Has Slow Natural Growth
Doctor Swingle states that the new plant is probably best adapted for cultivation in the Southwest. It can grow in rocky soil, country; the question that needs to be determined now is its ability to wiltand light frogs. If it is too large or too small, it may be southern Arizona, or can certainly be grown in Mexico, and may be destined for a share in the economic reefs of the Pacific Ocean. Its growth may make ordinary plantation methods' unprofitable, but experimented with it can grow faster under irrigation.
It is a member of the Euphorbia family, and is therefore related to the gooseberry. It grows in the potentilla, the Christmas thorn and a number of other milky-judged ornamentals. It grows to be a small tree, but it can also form a bushy binst it has almost no leaves. Doctor Swingle states that the largest specimens are high and about five inches in trunk diameter, though trees a foot through them are common. Its technical name is Euphorbia intyx.

MODERN MARTYRS
Today, civilization has settled upon mankind. Words are the martyrs who are torn apart by the fiery homes of caroliness and ignorance.
With their limes tied to the haraches of fiery, unmatened horses, marries of old were torn apart. Mutlation, torture, devastation.
The average student in college does not appreciate the heritage that is his in the form of words. Long and short, he lacks the skills with the materials from which he could mould a thing of beauty or of terror. The greatest weapon of invasion or protection in the modern world is the use of expressive, strong, powerful words.
Doctor, lawyer, merchant, or business man needs a choice of words. Effective as the colors on the artis' palette may be made through various uses.
Lectures, e.g., text books provide sources for increases in one's story of words and expressions. The need for another opportunity so great as the present for enlarging his vocabulary, and setting up a wealth that no amount of business depression or criminalism can handle. Daily Nebraskan

Is there any necessity for students of this University to satisfy their epicurean desires by the absorption of knowledge in the technical shrub of the genus and variety commonly known as garlic? If there is may we ask again why it is not necessary to be tempted to betake themselves on such occasions into the sarcoped precursors of our Library and there exalt us in the geographical territory of our students, the questionable and yet unquestionable fragrance of their outburst breath? Such, also, has been the case coming to the attention of members of our staff during the recent migration to the Library prior to the event. Need this continue?" We ask you.
