A TRIBUTE TO SANITY RESTORED
The Spirit of St. Louis, in accordance with the promise of its owner now stands in the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., a tribute to the skill and courage of the aviator who guided it through 40,000 miles of flight over scores of foreign countries in both hemispheres.
Not long ago an equally famous plane, the one in which Orville Wright made the first sustained flight in a heavier-than-air craft, was placed in the British Museum. Our British cousins had no moral claim to the plane, but took advantage of a squabble between American scientists concerning unimportant historical details and secured it for themselves.
The proper place for the Wright biplane is in the Smithsonian institution at the side of the Spirit of St. Louis. This is only one case in many where American contentiousness has resulted disastrously to our interests.
St. Louis might have argued for possession of Lindbergh's plane, since it was the aviator's home port. Instead, it is keeping his collection of trophies in full satisfaction of its moral claims to the plane, which is where it rightly should be, in a famous scientific institution.
The Spirit of St. Louis, it seems represents more than a name and a famous aviator. It is a tribute to a city where citizens have attained proper sense of values.
Harry F. Sinclair testified before the Senate oil committee that he gave Will H. Hays $100,000 to help wipe out the Republican deficit after the 1920 elections, and all without having any inducement offered him. Perhaps in time to come the public will realize what a philanthropic man Sinclair really is.
AN ALL-UNIVERSITY ACTIVITY
There will be, in time if not right now, a completed University building for the University of Kansas. The memorial to the dead will supply one much-needed phase of the University's life—a gathering place for social and business functions. Since the Union Memorial will have such a great part in the every day life of the students, would it not be fit that the diverse phases of University life and activity should be represented there?
It is not the plan to make this building a museum for trophies or a picture gallery of dead and defunct organizations. That would destroy its purpose. Trophies of athletics, debates, glee club contests, pictures of elections to honorary societies such as Sachem and Mortor Board, and a tablet bearing the names of famous Kansas alumni would form a nucleus for an exhibition or collection.
We are making history, today,
right this minute. Some of it is
important. Some is not. Some may
have a great influence upon the
future of our University. Some will
not. Part of our present day activities
should be preserved for the future.
An exhibit in the Union building
will serve this purpose.
Under the heading "K. U. Paper Again Wrong," the Kauan is severely criticized by the Colony, Kansas, Free Press for its stand on the McNary-Huen bill.
A MISUNDERSTANDING
The Colony editor has taken the attitude that the instructor quoted, the Kansan, and the entire University are against anything for the farmer. This was not the purpose of the editorial. It was intended to point out some objectionable features of the McNary-Haguen bill as a means of relieving farm conditions.
Being opposed to one method of reform cannot be interpreted to mean that we do not desire to see any help for the farmer. As far as the fundamental question is concerned the Colony Press and the Kanman are in complete agreement. The Kanman is not second to the Press in favoring farm relief.
"I DON'T THINK
An instructor observed in her lecture, "I wonder what you think about it." A student near the back of the room murmured with a little sneer. "I don't think."
Whether it is true or not in this particular instance, we know that complaints are made continually by the outside world that students do not think. It is said that they are sent to college or universities, and are taught a great many things which they are incapable of ever using. Whether we like it or not we have to agree that a great deal of this criticism is justified.
If students do not learn to think during their college years, then all the education that may be poured into them is a loss.
Giving numerous facts, and showing how to apply them is about all instructors in most cases can do. They cannot make a student think. That is one thing he must teach himself.
An exchange from the Colgate paper tells how Colgate students are making their way through school by sleeping for psychological experiments. Imagine the rush if the department of psychology in the base of the Administration building hung out such a "Help Wanted" sign
The famous, "We" partnership has been broken by Lindbergh turning over his plane to the Smithsonian institution. However, even this acts as no deterrent to the future flights of "Limly," since he is even now planning another trip to Europe, although this time it will not be a non-stop flight.
Two robbers were so deliberate in their work at a store in a small Missouri town that a man drove six miles for the shefft and returned in time to catch them. Efficiency and speed are essential today even in the lowest of professions.
What the Kansas Editors Say
Public Discussion of Tax Revision in
The State Chamber of Commerce has informed all similar organizations of the readiness of the three large Grange, Farmers Union and Farm Bureau—to send a representative to any meetings interested in the subject, and to explain which the farm organizations will urge upon the next legislature and is expected to be an important organization. The farmers have appointed a committee and have speakers available where they may present their questions and to explain the tax plan favored by the farmers. Among the speakers are Ralph Snyder, president of the State Grange; C. E. Huff, president of the Farmers Union; David, master of the State Grange; C. E. Huff, president of the Farmers Union; E. L. Bullard, W. H. Behrens, Walter H. Chappell, and Prof. W. E.

The farm organizations have come together on a tax revision platform that has been developed by the department tax, several state excise taxes and a state income tax on individuals and not corporate income, and correlations of these taxes with the general property tax. Taxation of banks will also be a question because it is the only way to pay the decision of the federal circuit court knocking out the scheme of taxing banks, so far as it applied to nongovernmental entities.
Traction is probably the most important subject the next legislature of the question such as the farm or college public meetings is certainly timely.

Plain Tales From the Hill
To his business friend he will say: "If we had a Mayor, John, who would run the city with one-half the efficiency of a manager running your business, we would hark sight better streets and taxes wouldn't be any higher, either." And then on election day he'd drill into the needs of golf, forget to vote, and continue to explain what the country needs is a business man at the head of the team. You don't need a bed if you asked him to take an active part in getting such a man.

Bloody moses and reeling men featured the intramural basketball tournament. Knock outs had been frequent. The going looked tough.
A friend approached a thoughtful looking fighter resting away from the ring.
"Hello," he said, "What are you doing over here?"
"I'm looking up some snappy last words," was the reply.
It was at the boxing tournament.
A little second in one corner was offering voiceless advice and encouragement to his principal in the ring; "That'd donn' t joe!" he shouted; "That's going to finish him, Off. He's all worn out."
"Doe's all worn out too," whispered another backer.
"Well, we don't have to tell him that," came back the little second "He knows it."
