A PIONEER JOURNALIST
Another great journalist is gone.
August Frederick Seed, president,
and general manager of the Kansas
City Star died at his home in Kansas
City recently. His death takes
another from the ranks of pioneer
journalism in this region. Born in
Tondern, Denmark, March 26, 1864,
Mr. Seed came to this country in
1880 and secured work with the Star
in 1881. He was made general manager
of that paper in 1902.
Mr. Seested was brought up under the dynamic personal influence of W. R. Nelson, founder of the Star. He has not been a strict follower of the old school, always being ready to accept new ideas for the betrayment of his paper. Since being elected president of the company in 1926 Mr. Seested was instrumental in making the Star what it is today. A great paper has lost a truly great man.
TAXI WARFARE
Gang warfare has broken out in Chicago between the chantiers of rival taxicab companies and has resulted in more contempt for law and greater disregard for public safety. Here is a chance for the Chicago police to demonstrate their efficiency and do something to change the reports before the grand jury. If the city officials are unable to cope with the situation perhaps the public will find a way of expressing its disapproval of them at the polls.
MEXICO APPROACHES STABILITY
With ten men under arrest who are believed to be involved in the bombing of two garages, Chicago has reason to expect some pretty positive action from the authorities. This taxi warfare although carried on for business' sake will have a serious affect upon business if continued.
MEXICO APPROACHES STABILITY Mexico today, despite the assassination of Oberon last summer, is in better financial condition than at any time during its turbulent history. The neighbor to the south, after being a Spanish colony for 300 years and then passing through stormy revolutions, seems to have at last settled down to the business of living. Contrary to the usual custom, no revolution has followed the death of Oberon and the choice of his successor. Such an event in times gone by would have demanded widespread revolt. Indeed only two uprisings of importance have occurred during the past ten years, that of de la Huerta in 1923 and the Serrano-Gomez uprising of 1927. Both of these were put down by the government.
Mexico is still heavily in debt, but the present tax system is working fairly efficiently. Economy of government has been affected through the reduction of the army and of the holdings of the church. With the rich resources and a stable government, Mexico may yet get away from the internal strife which has followed it since the days of Santa Anna.
AN EXPERIMENT
For the first time Variety dances are to be chaperoned by a regular hostess. This hosts, who is selected by the Women's Student Government
Association, will be a woman with an official connection at the University.
She may invite others to assist her, the system used in the past, it has been felt, worked a hardship on the housemothers and University people who have been more than generous with their time. The new system will eliminate the necessity for finding willing helpers each week and will allow the housemothers a little more time of their own.
Objections to the new plan are forfeiting us in need but the new arrangement has been found successful and should have a fair trial here.
UNCONSCIOUS DISLOYALTY
Interiors of K. U. study room should be looking decidedly more colorful in the last few days. Early this week a large sign pointed to boost the sales of nihilistic semiotic t-shirts was stolen from its location at the entrance of the campus. The School of Fine Arts also reports that one of the signs advertising the University concert course was recently fitted, while from the varsity dance manager comes word that some of the placards proclaiming the first variety have disappeared.
Those guilty of such offenses fail to realize that the signs were depended upon to help make University activities successful. The present possessor of the sports ticket poster probably would be incensed if accused of disloyalty to K. U., Yet that is the effect of his act. The season ticket sales are essential to the plan for an organized rosters section which has been arranged for this year. The big sign was an integral part in the campaign to bring to students' attention the 'immediate need of purchasing the all-sports ticket and taking it in reality an act of rank disloyalty. The same is true of the other cases.
Tammy got into trouble with all the movie cameramen and news outlets in Europe because he wouldn't talk to them or be photo-graphed every time he turned around. Gabe should be more lenient; it is so seldom we see a gentleman papulist.
A significant fact is seen in the reports from nearly all the cities over the United States concerning the Red Cross mission. Practically all of them have obtained the required amount and frequently have over-subscribed.
A giant sourlight has been installed on the Detroit river front an aid to United States border patrol in curtailing illegal smuggling across the river. Only another chance for the run-runners to get into the light.
After the workout the two councils have hid in choosing the new cheerleaders there is little danger of Kansas losing the Grimell game. With a cheering section composed of our well trained councils, Kansas should even kick Misson' again.
What Kansas Editors Say
One of the unexplained marvels of the world is that someone can always be found who is willing to hold the sack for a snipe hunt.
Last summer, shortly after the presidential candidates of the two major parties had been selected the Prohibition party met in buffy sessional meetings displayed with both prohibition planks, Democratic and Republican alike. And to demonstrate the extent of its displeasure, it placed its own hand in the field, nominating William Varney of New York state for president.
Mr. Varnay was delegated to hold the sack while the Prohibitionists went affeld and drove the nipers toward him. But, like the sly slickers that snipter hunters are, these worthy gentlemen have been toting their bussiness or the seacone, while th' bussiness Mr. Varnay has stood waiting.
SNIPE HUNTER
Then yesterday came the disillusionment. The national committee of the Prohibition party announced that it had concluded to support Mr. Hoov, disregarding the fact that it has nominated a candidate and the cap

A SWEET SPECTACLE
We see by the University Kannan that the annual night shirt parade is to be held Oct. 6. The K. U. eight-shirt parade in recent years has become an effete, cultured affair not worth looking at. In the good old days the most notable shirt minds, you with honed bare legs sticking out beneath—used to cible blowing off of Mount Orand, and 2,000 leather lings used to rear defiance at the stars and any tight-waisted snickering of a mermaid. Nowadays, there are not a half dozen real night shirts at the university. The cherry-cheeked, skim-knee youths who have inherited that once noble blixen dress themselves in silk striped jamaica, shake and ponder as they sit on a balcony and look sweet enough to kiss, trem down to Massachusetts street, and directly accept whatever handouts the merchants can give them. Some of them actually put on pants and flannel last year, we are told, they didn't snush a single plate glass window or upset a single car street. O

THE UNEXPECTED REVOLUTION
what has become of that rock-ribbed spirit of other years? What, in the name of heaven, is the matter with Kannas—Arkansas City Traveler
Another dramatic situation of a critical nature is now facing the world sport authorities. "How big should a golf ball be, and how high should it be bounce?" is the gigantic question which is facing the golf world.
At a meeting of the Royal and Ancient Club in St. Andreas, Scotland, recently, it was learned that the authorities of the United States Golf Association had asked the club to delay its decision for three or four months. The Americans, who it is, say they will accept bans, are not satisfied with the resiliency tests of the proposed new ball.
Think of the British who are just beginning to realize what a revolutionary change of this type would do to their military centre. They have had to learn how to club to club to wait several months because the British don't want the game any harder than it has been for them. The British II, S. golf match is in Chicago.
Anyway it is a serious matter, 501 the Scotch ought to pass it because

WHAT GIVES CHICAGO ITS BAD
As Others See It
NAME
What I live Chicago its name for the straining and sanguinous life goes deeper than we had assumed. We were under the impression the caine was hightail-clawed helmets and organized murder but it seems to be raucous in rudeness. At tenent one of Chicago's bainda, pointing about his calling in orderly fashion, was startled to discover that he was being roughly denounced by a male woman in the particular place of his immediate execution. "Knuckle of that," said the bailiff; "if you were a man I'd about you for that remark. It'S about that and that gives Chicago a bad name."
We recall, through reminiscences suggested by this spiritless incident, that it was in Chicago that men first quirk giving up seats in street cars to other drivers in the streets and killing in civilians. Chicago was more or less abused for this lack of guarlinry. Whether the criticism was fair or not, Chicago no longer has any monopoly of these manifestations, but it nevertheless whichever way you may read them. Also other cities have been known to be rude to bandits. But we do think that Chicago has accepted outrage and outlawry on such a scale, and we have a piece in the political arena, that to what seems at times to be the calling class—Kansas City Star.
