MONDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1928 INTEREST OF YOUTH Time after time, university students have been reproved by their elders for not taking more interest in political affairs. It is said that they have little knowledge of politics and show but small interest in it. The enthusiasm shown yesterday when a Hoover-for-President club was formed on Mt. Oread indicates that the criticism is not wholly just. Students may not be sufficiently interested to do the handshaking and shoulder slapping that the typical politician would like to see, but at election time they will show just as much interest and perhaps more actual knowledge of the situation than some of their elders. The fact that nearly a hundred students yesterday formed a Republican club and that an AI Smith organization is anticipated indicates that the younger generation has not been blind to its political responsibilities. AMERICA'S STAND The United States has rejected the proposed French-British naval limitation agreement, flatly declining to accept any distinction for limitation purposes between 8-inch and 6-inch gun cruisers or between submarines above and below 600 tons. Concerning the cruiser theory, the American note said it was "clearly apparent that limitation of this type only would add enormously to the comparative offensive power of a nation possessing a large merchant tonnage on which preparation could be made in times of peace for mounting 6-inch guns." Regarding the submarines it said the United States "would gladly, in conjunction with all nations of the world, abolish submarines altogether but could not assent to a size distinction, as small submarines were just as deadly within their operating radius deadly within their operating radius as big ones." The stand is the same America has always taken, playing safe and viewing the agreements as a whole and not in separate sections. The American contention in regard to the submarine is entirely justified. Submarines are deadly, no matter what the size and have no use except for war purposes. Yet France and Britain want them. Regarding the limitation of armaments America has taken the position that it must be all or none. As stated in the note answering the Franco-British request, "America is seeking no special advantage on the sea, but clearly can not permit itself to be placed in a position to manifest disadvantage and feels that no useful purpose would be served by accepting as a basis of discussion the Franco-British proposal." The Kansas debaters are to follow out the policy of holding an international debate each year and start with Sydney, Australia. Wonder if the Jayhawks will ever get to travel to the other side instead of having the debate on home battle grounds each time? YOU ARE NEEDED From the head cheerleader comes the call for all boyt Kansen students to meet for the first pop rally of the year. Friday night, just before the opening game with Grimell. It has been more than four months since most students have been together to cheer a K. U. athletic team but it will only take one rally to renew all the yells and songs and start generating the necessary energy and pen. "Far above the golden valley *Rock-Chahl, Jay-Hawk, K. U, *Fight Kauzens *Hold That Line, *We want a touchdown.* "Whose pulse does not tingle as the volume of sound rods across the stadium? The head cheerleader is calling, "Come on now, everybody. Let's show 'em the old fight yell, and do it load." Every Kauns student is needed at the rally Friday night to renew that fighting spirit that has cheered Jay- hawker teams to victory. MUST NOT GIVE UP An article in the Kannu yesterday stated that enough money has been received from pledges to finish the dance floor in the Union building. All students who made pledges, newcomers especially, and the committee in charge should be commended for the rapidity in which the sum has been raised. While work was going on in the Union building, the committee adhered to the policy of doing no work unless the money enough to pay for it was at hand. The response of students to the last drive, has enabled them to start work on the dance floor without borrowing money. A little more is needed to give the final touches to the second floor, but the committee believes additional pledges coming in will take care of part of that at least. Continual work by members of the committee in the past year has not proved in vain. This must not stop and the interest of those who wish to see the Union building completed must not bag. The situation at present is a happy me and the work is being done as rapidly as possible, but it is not time to give up until the job has been entirely finished. THE STATUS OF CANADA Diplomatic relations have been established between the Dominion of Canada and France. Phillip Roy, who has served Canada for more than 17 years as commissioner general in Paris, presented his credentials the other day to President Donerque, as Canada's minister to the French republic and was received. This procedure represents one more step indicating the growing independence of Canada. Over a period of several centuries, Canada has gradually asserted her separation from the British state, until today, the Dominion to our north is virtually sovereignty and independent. Canadians naturally are still loyal to the British crown. Canada maintains trade relations which are advantageous to England. There still remains a certain bond between the mother country and her self-governing colony. But Canada has practically "attained her majority." The government of the Dominion makes its own decisions. It improves conditions for its own benefit and for the welfare of its own people. It votes just about as it pleases in internation negotiation.

France's acceptance of a Canadian minister demonstrates the faith of other countries in the competence and integrity of this English province. In connection with this comment, would it be selfish on the part of the United States to claim that the present Canadian countermeasure is more American than English? Uncle Sam, at least, may be proud to have here in North America a sister "state" which has attained the favorable recognition in world affairs that has been Canada's. Many students have been trying to figure out whether the senior laws carry canes to make them look like lawyers or whether it took them so long to get through that they needed canes by the time they were seniors. On the same front page Sunday, was a story about, the finding of an old Spanish gallon and another about pirates attacking a ship near Hong Kong and terrorizing 1,000 passengers. Indications are that civilization is going back to the days when Captain Kidd rode the midget waves, and the Spanish gallon was the pride of Madrid. "Iho!" elovers for men, is the word from New York about styles. Before long the well dressed man may be as noticeable as the well dressed woman. Campus Opinion FAIRNESS WINS Edition Della Venerata Another mark of Herbert Hoover's fairness and sterling character, which is one of the big talking points for the Republicans this year, was brought clearly to the front the other day when he repudiated the statement by a Republican national committee that he saved the United States from being Romanized and rum-riden, and the call is to women to do so. In his acceptance speech the Republican nominee fictively refused to ask anything about the religious issue and has stuck to his stand like glue to the wall. He did not tolerate on the question. Smith himself felt that enough of a whistle perning campaign concerning the issue was gone on to justify that he take a strong stance against a speech at Oklahoma City. Other religious has not been discussed shortly after his death. Herbert Hower could easily gain a large number of votes by attacking Smith from this fort. Hower could easily change the attitude he took in his acceptance speech and make reckless remarks that kind of a candidate, which is indicated by his reply after he saw the committeewoman's letter about "Romanizing America." "Whether this be authentic or a forgery, it does violence to every instinct I possess. I guess it was my duty to press he said. "I cannot fully express my indignation at any such circulars nor can I reiterate too strongly that religious questions have to part in this campaign. I have the Republicis in our warrant support on this basis." Hoover is a square-shooter. Hoover is tolerant. Hoover is fair. and his reaction to the charge against Smith, which is unfair in this campaign, is a big advantage in the California' favor. - A Hoover Admirer. HEAR YE! HEAR YE! Editor Daily Kansan; Herbert Hower said in his speech of acceptances that no party can look back with greater satisfaction than one who has last eight years of Rubicon rule.

One of the things we enjoyed most about coming back to school this year was the delightful discovery that the old institution of freshman caps, dis Our Contemporary Our Contemporaries THOSE FRESHMAN CAPS How well we remember the day we first marched up to the barrens, and following the minor detail of laying down the prescribed amount of mud on our shoes and red skull can, together with its restrictions regarding it, wear. It was red with a green vinyer, we recoiled, and we spotted it over our right ear, well back, in the proper number of layers of mud on the campus, as proud as punch over the olivine fact that no one within vision—estimated by many to include the radius of at least a mile—could fail to understand that one of our founded dreams had been realized, and that he was the fateful student of Creighton University. We soon found that a red cap was as good an introduction anywhere on the campus. Without it we were simply a stranger, and a rather confused, beheaded stranger in a forsyth. We had been one of our new big bodies of coronial males, with common nines and interests. That cap became one of our best friends, and when the time came to lay it made and don less distingished headwear we戴 with a feeling of genuine surprise.

Stilwell, bailer of the Kuniversity, Mexico and Orient railroad, and other rail projects in the West, is dead in New York, at the age of 65. Stilwell possessed in great degree a magnetic personality and the gift of pervivism. At one time he would work on board an boat elcve into a financial fortune of great prominence. He rained commodious sums of money for his projects. He caught and held the faith of the man of affairs. That he was unable to administer the details of his proposals as well as he was able to do so, is a testament to his unicorn which kept him from alter greatness. The final years of his life were dimmed by financial failure. But Stillwell was a dreamer with the rare ability to enable other men with his own fire. As a dreamer he helped his dreams of the West. Let men not scorn him for his defects as practical business manager. There are plenty of hard-handed men who can work out details of organization. There are only few dreamers.
