MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1928 THE KANSAN AND WILL Wil Rogers finds himself in very much the same position as the Daily Kansas. Both the humorist and the paper are striving to maintain an entirely neutral position during the present campaign. It's a hard job to keep from taking sides and boosting or shaming one of the candidates, but Will has been very impartial in his fabs. Recently he was pinch-hitting for his friend, Freel Stone in a musical comedy. Twice he stepped out of his role as king to deliver short speeches not in the book of the production. True to his mo-bank platform he exposed both major parties in the light of his impalant analysis. He defined farm relief as the "Old Spanish custom" of relieving the farmer of all he had. At the end he fell in with the popular pastime of taking straw votes. On a raising of hands it was found that Smith had won by a crooked thumb in the second balcony. Comments from this sage of the saddle often come closer to the point than long political speeches do. But then that's only natural. Men running for office are out to make people think their way. All Will has to do is tell the truth. Congress has officially authorized the construction of four new memorials. One is to President Buchanan, one is to the fighting men, one to the Titanic victims and the fourth to men from the District of Columbia who died in the World war. MEMORIALS These monuments are being planned on a scale calculated to make Washington the most magnificent capital of modern times. They will be landmarks representing our art, history, and contemporary achievements. But it is more significant that they represent America's official recognition of its honored sons and daughters. We owe them much more, for at best the erection of monuments is only a menger way of expressing appreciation of their sacrifices. YOUTH AND AGE Youth and age meet again with the announcement of the Roosevelt Memorial Association that this year's medals for distinguished service will go to Charles Evans Hughes, and Col. Charles A. Lindbergh. The committee's decision is in keeping with the present American desire that youth and age march side by side harmoniously rather than in conflict. The wise and far-looking man of letters, with his sage advice given from experience, should be accepted by youth who works out plans, discovers, and carries on with daring courage. They should work together—youth and age. In mutual respect and trust they should give to progress the best in both of them. WASHINGTON SEEKS TO VOTE As the presidential campaign approaches its climax the 500,000 citizens of Washington, D. C., are asking for a means by which they can vote. Campaign workers are soliciting votes, but only among those who have legal residence outside the city. This number is 25,000 which is small compared with 300,000 persons who are of voting age, but are not allowed to vote. The anomaly of a nisefranchisese capital of 500,000 people is unique among the civilized nations. Not since the Federal congress moved to the banks of the Potomac in 1800 have residents of the city of Washington been permitted to vote. Are they not tax payers and do they not obey the law? Why cannot a constitutional amendment be passed giving them he right to vote? AN UPSIDE:DOWN SKYSCRAPER IN DEFANCE DOWN SKYSCRAPER In defiance of earthquakes the Japanese have designed a downstairs skyscraper, 89 stories deep, to be built 1,100 feet down into the earth. This project is planned for Tokyo where the construction problem is a difficult one on account of the frequency and violence of earth shocks. The proposed structure will cost about eleven million dollars. Special provisions will be made for elevators, electric lights, telephone and ventilating shafts. This project may be accepted as an illustration of the ingenuity and practicality of the Japanese. It almost seems that such an idea should have been originated and carried out in New York or in America, at least. But Japan has made marvelous advances, it has scientific engineers, architects, construction companies and big business enterprises. The island country has assumed much of the culture and methods of the Western world. Probably the American colleges and universities, which young Japanese students have attended, have had a significant part in Nippon's progress. "Moonshiners Steal Corn," says a coilline. Has bootlegging become a competitive that distilleries have to secure their raw products by unlawful means to make a profit? A man who had beaten his wife told the police that "she needed a spanking just like all women do once in a while." Perhaps so. But in our modern age of "love, love and cherish" we feel that he did the right thing in the wrong era. Doctor Echemer said that his驿乘 passengers "were not scared after they had a little drink." Perhaps that explains why so many americans were willing to risk their vies in the trans-Atlantic flight. The Chinese army heads are rounding up all those who are wearing suits in that country.

If Mr. Victor can capture on the screen the religious fervor of the colored people, happiness, unrestrained and depict, to some extent, the epic of their progress from African burahism to American civilization, the play will be worth seeing—Deware Leiger. "JUST TO BE CRAZY" The more or less prevalent practice of a certain type of motorist to decimate his car with all manner of signs and signs, some of them by the police in action in Detroit. Hailed before the court for speeding a youth law was asked by the judge to explain the reason for his graudly painted automobile, which had been described by the police in court. "I guess," answered the motorist, "In that case," the judge decided, "we will determine just what variety of insanity it is." I refer you to a sanity committee which will report on week on week today." A DEATH PENALTY IN ITALY Italy, the first country in the world to abolish the death penalty, has witnessed its first civil execution since the unification of the Kingdom seventy years ago. Even under the new laws, it is hard to carry the death penalty. It is reserved for attempts on the life of the King, the Crown Prince or the Premier, for high treason, espionage and armed insurrection. The man who was executed by a tiring squad yearly had been imprisoned because they were Fascist." The court decided that his case came under the clause in the law which provides the death penalty for "whoseover commits acts directed to provoke civil war or to devastation, pillage or destruction." The court murder as a mere social act is not so punishable. In this respect Italian law is still unnecessarily humane—if life imprisonment in an Italian prison may be counted humane. Other nations in which the crime is generally in general to suffer much from the crime of murder cannot afford to abolish the death penalty—Pittsburgh Public Leider. After the commission takes this queer creature apart to see what makes it tick, there will probably be one boss of these offensive-looking fights. In a court in *in his insanity* is not of the dangerous kind, will probably be cured by the time the court finishes with him. In the majority of cases the cars decorated in this manner are of ancient vintage and because of bad credit they will be auctioned as a memento to other users of the highways. Couple with this a mind so distorted that it will prompt the painting of obnoxious slogans on the car, "just to be crazy," and the damn truck. In the Detroit judge is to be commended for his effort to stamp out the practice—Washington Evening Star. G. M. ROBLEN, Presidente. What Kansas Editors Say --the sentiment so universally demanded the death of a criminal. But Hickman's death cannot stone for the death of Martin Patterson, neither run his own investigation or series of crimes that his net suggest to crack brains over the country. JUST TO ENCOURAGE US Young people dream of what they hope to do. One will become an artist. A girl impairs to be a concert singer. A child does not want to do that. But with the average boy or girl the time comes when they do what they find they have to do for the present, at least. And what is entered temporarily becomes a vocation. Ambition for the future becomes drilled by the tail that must be done now. And by being by day and night doing what they find they must do, hoping that their children will do the things the father and mother once dreamed of. Like is like that. It has always been that way. Happy the father and mother who, recording this music with their children may finally stand on the Detectable Heights of their own youthful dreams...Garden City Herald. WHAT CALIFORNIA WOULD DO WHAT CALIFORNIA WOULD DO The Missouri valley is in its greatest glory, the marvel of the world.

And today, as the soul of William Edward Hickman stands before its audience, we can far as they think of him at all could do no better than to ask God to pity the soul of the poor unformed devil. — Emperor Gazette.
