THE WEEK
Smith flayed the economic program of the Republicans in a speech at Boston, while Hoover made his main speech of the week at New York and Clarkus Evans Hughes gave his approval of the Republican nominee in a speech at St. Joseph, Mo.
Senator Norris started many politicians when he announced his stand for Smith. Dr. Mansfield Robinson, London, announced he heard whisperings from Mars and George Harr McCutcheon, novels died in New York. Ten men were indicted in Kansas City for bombings, slugging, "racketeering", arson and other outrages. Lindbergh hung a deer on the first day of his hunting trip in Mexico and Capt. C. B. D. Collyer, piloting the "Taekkeo Doole" established a new speed record when he flew from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific in 24 hours and 51 minutes. The K. U. football team set down after the victory over the Aggies and met anes while 75 members of women's athletic associations in Kansas assembled on the campus for a two day conference. Tito Schipa pleased a large audience in the University concert and the following night the merits of Hoover and Smith were debated by K. U. political organizations
MAY BE PROFITABLE
One of the first reforms that Portes Gil, president-selt of Mexico, plans, is the placing of labor conditions of that country on a higher and more human level. He plans to do this as soon as he goes into office, Dec 1, and it may pay America to observe his efforts.
He stands for a minimum wage law, workman's compensation, six and eight hour days and forbidding night work for women and children. But the part of his program which the United States will watch with anxious eyes is his system for settling labor disputes through arbitrary tribunals. Within the next few weeks, he will call a convention of labor leaders and capitalists to discuss the situation of the entire country and, if possible, come to some sort of an agreement as to how it can all be handled. Another labor bill is now awaiting action of congress, but the President-elect hopes to have it delayed until his new plan is presented to the people.
President-elect Gli says the new plan will be obligatory on the entire republic. Although it may not prove as effective as proposed it will nevertheless warrant close scrutiny.
THEIR OWN WILL
In a recent speech over the radio, Lady Nancy Aston,' in commenting that women are needed in politics to keep the world peace also stated: "We women have no political past, we are not tied down to creeds and doctrines, and I don't believe we are as easily taken in as the men." She also pointed out that the parties could not easily count on the way women would vote.
This year's campaign is expected to bear out these statements. Thousands of women say they will vote for Smith while thousands of others say they will vote for Hoover. A recent survey in a small town showed that women in a certain district were voting exactly opposite of their husbands, a circum-
science which rather weakens the argument that families vote alike. Political forecasters have indicated that women will have a great deal to do with the election because of the interest they have shown through clubs and societies. One man even goes so far as to say women will decide this election.
Statistics show that for very 100 eligible voters approximately 55 are men and 45 are women and because of feminine interest this year it is almost certain that for larger percentage of women will vote than in any previous election. But which candidate will they uphold? It is a puzzling question indeed. The fact that women have a short political background and few political dogmas or traditions to follow only means that the question of their partisan allegiance will be uncertain until the ballots are counted.
One of the main difficulties, with student cheating in the football games has been the manner in which students follow directions of the cheerleaders. The effective yella and songs are those which not only have volume but which come out clearly and in uniform.
WATCH THE LEADER
At the first University longest recently the large crowd which turned out was gratifying to those in charge but even more gratifying was the manner in which the crowd watched the leaders and followed them. Nevertheless there is still considerable room for improvement, especially since it is harder to tell together out-of-d doors than indoors.
Individual attention to the direction of the cheerleaders, timely and unified response to their guidance during the games will do more to bring K. U's pup to a higher standard than any other one thing. Your best cooperation is urged.
All Kansas City is back of the charity drive this year, which is being promoted on a basis wherein all the organizations ask for aid at the same time. The fine response from the residents of the city indicates the merit of the system.
The student directory is out. Now it will not be half so hard to find out where that woman who sits on the other side of the room lives o what her phone number is.

NAVAL NEGOTIATIONS
The world had already come to three main conclusions regarding the Anglo-French naval accord, and the official publication of its text merely confirms them. It was (1) blundering in method, and Lord Cushendon fails in his effort to defend its mixture of secrecy and publicity. It was (2) unfeale to the third great naval power, the United States, and French opinion recognized when curate State Department published its reply. Finally, it opened (3) a dangerous gate to bargaining, which would allow French military strength and British naval strength to supplement each other. In the Briand-Chambrolain conversation or March 8 Sir Ernest Holmes on spoke of British concessions on naval sovereignty if France would make naval concessions.
The naval accord is now dead, but there are indications that in two ways the effort to reach an agreement on naval limitation will be continued. M. Briand and Sir Austen Chamberlain expect to meet in Geneva again in December, and London despatches intimate that they will return to the subject. Meanwhile the British Govt. has announced its preparations for the American and Italian rejections of the proposed accord. Especial interest will attach the note to the United States, for our government not only left the door open for further negotiations but suggested the general object these negotiations should seek. We will have none of the program which limits our heavy cruiser fleet while placing no limit on British light aircraft or ships in operations or under. But we will brightly consider an limitation of all naval categories.
The nations which have signed the Kellege treaty renouncing war, war guilt and insignification in signing limitation upon the naval instruments of war. But the problem is one for the best antimunition, not for naval experts or secret diploms.

Recent Book Describes Condition of Mexico's Oldest Indian Cities
New York, Oct. 28—The actual state of preservation of prehistoric Indian cities in Mexico and lesser archaeological sites, is described in a book jacket published by the Mexican Ministry of Education called "Present State of the Chief Archaeological Structures of Mexico" and recently brought to the attention of the Mexican Academy of Sciences for the Preservation of Archaeology of the Ministry of Education, under the direction of Jose Reyndaz, showing the principal archaeological sites of the country. There are about 1200 such localities now registered in Mexico where they still vestigies of the ancient civilizations sufficiently important to be preserved.
Voter's Query
--use that this circle is getting smaller.
In short, as fraternity men recode from the "gang stage" and come to realize the need for more serious thought among their members, even these late fictional examples of informal rebellion will pass from the plexiadia into the realism they will defend itself, and fraternity men will find expression of good fun in more sensible ways.

"Yes, providing you go to the county clerk's office and sweat out an affidavit as to your eligibility to vote.
"Inside Stuff"
When Theodore Roosevelt gave an interview and then repudiated it, it left some reporters booking mighty foolish.
Because such things have been done in the past, newspaper men are more and more saying, "Mr. Blank said," when they quote someone. Then the newspaper is responsible if it misquotes Mr. Blank—and is saved from responsibility if Mr. Blink changes his mind.
Mr. Blink, being a rather greasy fellow, can usually giggle out of a tight bite by saying, "I was misquoted." But often he wasn't.
And some folks wonder why newspaper men get cynical.
The Hill has its share of such. Only recently one of the Hill's residents made a mistake in arrangements for a meeting, scheduled the affair for a certain night, and then had to change the arrangements. In giving notice of the change to the Hill, the governor responded to have the reporter declare that thekanam had been mistaken in its first announcement of the meeting.

THE VESTIGE OF ASININITY
One student's vowless opposition to fraternity "Hell weeks" and the childish tactics and rough house practices contained therein, was refuted when things too seriously, that in his everyday course of existence in college he gave (to little) thought to, the daily life of life and the good fellow spirit that surrounded his fraternity during its informal initiation. Probably due to the positive印象 that lacked in some of such a would appreciate, fully the ridiculous and childish methods of "hell week". Probably he did think about his class work and daily routine a great deal more than was good for his students, because the sense of proportion between the non-sensical and serious.
While in its milder forms "hell week" is not "in destructive to the pledge of the fraternity—nother can it be considered to be participatory?" The question is a vestige of the circle of animosity which has surrounded the college fraternity for years. But as evidenced by the trend away from rough informal inroads, particularly in certain, which only three years ago retained all their old time vigor, we
The "shell week" question was one of the modified sort that many fraternities have instituted in the past few years to replice the blood and wound systems of fraternity Pledgees were merely required to make foools of themselves before their superior bretheren, act like children, and do general non-sonsical orb boy duties. Actually, the week was comparatively mild; yet a few activates would be a clink out of it. Let us look at the situation from their point of view.
Further, fraternity men in their last year or so or no too busy with outside business and class work to make it possible to devote much time to connecting or to enjoying childish practices. In other words, the week before graduation means of extra assignment for the newer members of the fraternity.
In numerous instances, these resenting-fatency men have been members for several years. They have gone through the informal initiation process themselves, and they have seen succeeding pledge classes go through similar antiles on several occasions afterward. It is hardly likely that for these men the "hell week" activities will retain their orientation. Having taught them so often, they can hardly be expected to develop more than a wall of indifference toward informal initiation.
While the Mexican Direction of Archaeology has done actual excavation work at but few archaeological site, work of preservation and repairing of ancient buildings has been carried on all over the country, and some of the famous cities that were beamed mountains some years ago may now remain in existence. For example, Pulequen, the ancient Maya City in Chiapas, and many ancient cities in southern Yucatan.
Not Only Enemy
While tropical vegetation has worked its strong fingers into the ancient structures and has slowly town prohibitive cities to pieces, it is not the only enemy of the archaeologist, for much destruction has come from the rapid federal supervision of these sites was undertaken, stone conveniently cut was carried away and used in modern buildings and many haciendas and old colonial houses have incorporated indoor carriage coming from temple masonry and other places. There have also been cases where scientist们的 themselves have come and carried away as souvenirs portions of buildings such as covered doorframes and jambs and thus hurried the destruction of the re
Many of the federal guardians that have protected these sites from man and nature live horses, difficult lives. This is especially true in the less-known Mlyn cities of Yucatan, where there is no water on the ruins and towns can only be reached through leveled jungle trails.
To Provide Water
In some cases the **modern Indians** who guard the ruins have rehabilitated some of the "chulutter" or archaeological clauses built by the ancients to solve the same water problem that confronted them.
The book published by the Ministry of Education of Mexico includes the description of about 30 of the most important sites. The large majority of the 1200 sites are hardly known except for their existence and a few general facts. They have locked within them an enormous amount of detail so to the past.

What Kansas Editors Say
AMERICAN GENEROSITY
The statistics show that America gives away nearly two and one-fourth billicia dollars every year in private philanthropy—not taxes. This sum is equal to half the gross income of the government of the United States. It is more than the gross income of either France or Germany.
It is interesting to know where this two billion goes. Of course one usually guesses that the largest part of it goes to education—donations to public schools, private secondary schools, Negro education, schools for needy and experimental
schools. Next in line comes charity—the care of children, the care of the aged and the defective. Third, health—hospitals, nurses, and medical research. The fourth object of our onephilanthropy is thyroid and diet control. We provide 6 per cent to various reform organizations, and religion comes in well down the line. Under religion, of course, would come the pretestant donations, the Catholic, the Jews, the Y, M, the K, of C. and other faiths. To foreign relief nearly a quarter of a million dollars.
These are staggering sums. They indicate that the American loves the dollar chiefly for the charge of it. He is generous to the point of prodigality. He keeps his money in circulation. He is a good spender, but a better giveer, and he has more fun out of it than a box of monkeys.
With him it is indeed better to give than to receive.

THE AMERICAN BLEND
The original settlement of the territory which is now comprised in the continental United States was very much of the same sort, as in national or racial elements and their proportion or balances, as the immigrant population in the English, Scottish and Irish came numerously to the Eastern colonies. Germans flooded to New York and Pennsylvania in the eighteenth century in such large numbers that large sections were entirely populated by them; the Germans settled in New Jersey, and a few Swedes in Delaware. We began early to import negro slaves in large numbers, Florida and Louisiana were poured by Latin (corresponding to our later Italian immigration) of the French and the Spanish rice, and there was a strong German influence coming to New York, New England and the Carolinas. Practically the only racial elements prominent in the latter

The American population, as it stood when the Constitution of the United States was adopted, was no doubt predominantly of British origin, but it was already a blood. If the national origins up to the year 1789 were not known, our present immigration restriction law, instead of that of 1890, the result in determining the character of the population would have been percentibly different from that which was deceived by the law. It would be rearrived nearly the same balance of British, Textonius, Latin and Irish origin in doing the composite character of the blood of the American nation.
All this does not indicate that we are not justified in desiring to keep it very much as it is, so far as is practicable. The present quota basis represents the home of kings and immigrants of immigration that discrimination. Many among us would, no doubt, make another choice. But the 1830 basis may be called the average choice. It suits most people, but it doesn't suit anyone who is 'Anglo-Saxon' or 'Anglo-Celtic' or Anglo-Latin Celtic, is be-

mark. We are as we are, and we have a general idea we should like to stay as much so as possible. In spite of Governor Smith's demand that the 1800 basks shall be changed, so as to let in a larger proportion immigration from Italy and England, we will accept the opinion of the majority of the people will result in the maintenance of the existing quota basis.
Robert E. Rennow, dean of men of the University town, in remarking the "changed mental attitude" of the university to the experience of this reason that "get them don't get drunk"; is doing his part to establish the higher general realization than, under the Constitution, that men of the university who go gentlemen does not drink at all.
