U. 25 Night Connection 2101K3 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879. Published in the afternoon, five times a week, and on Sunday morning, by students in the Department of Journalism at the University of Kansas, from the Press of the Department of Journalism. THURSDAY, APRIL 26, 1928 POLITICAL CONVENTION The excess of horseplay so noticeable at last night's mock convention was not greatly out of place at such an affair as many of the spectators may have felt. Politics and horseplay have been so long associated with favorite American games that it is not unreasonable to say that they are nearly inapparent. Those who go to Kansas City this June may expect to see hours of time taken up in demonstrations staged by people who care nothing about the chances of the man for whom they about and whose one thousand varies with the pay they receive. There will be "blah" and confusion, color and noise, to a degree not wholly dissimilar to that of last night. There is another respect in which the mock convention was not far off of the practice of the regular convention. Substitutes for delegates weared by the slow grind of the convention to the point of leaving the ball, delegates weared to such extent that any candidate will be acceptable to stop the ever-growing hotel bills (delegates must stand their own expenses) there is a picture of the condition of a regular national convention when it reaches the point that the Republican convention had reached when it nominated Harding in 1925, or the Democrats when they nominated Davis in 1924. The nomination of Curtia, too, is much less out of place than casual student observers are included to think. Next June when the Republicans convene in Kansas City, Hoover will have nearly enough votes for nomination on the first ballot. His backers, will concentrate their efforts on the early ballots and if they fail, his chances will be slender. A deadlock between Lowen and Hoover is not improbable as the balloting proceeds and the hope of Dawes, Curtius and the other dark horses is in being chosen as the compromise candidate. The administration controls a huge block of votes at any Republican convention, including most of the southern states and Pennsylvania. Curtis has been in close contact with the White House during the last six years. It is not a fantastic dream to think that the words "Alabama cuts 10 votes for Curtis" may mark the beginning of the shift which will carry a Kansas to the Republican nomination next June, just as it marked the beginning of a Curtis triumph last night. The convention demonstrated, finally, the impossibility of a great body of men ever arriving at a decision. If the shift to Curtis seemed artificial, so are the shifts in a regular convention. Compromises are arrived at by small groups of leaders and the word is passed down the line. The individual delegates, eager to leave, are only pawns. Presidents are nominated in hotel rooms, not in convention halls. "Frank Lockhart was sacrificed to the development of the modern motor car," stated the president of the Stutz Motor Co. True. But this is one form of sacrifice that seems unnecessary and useless. FIELD TRIPS Out-of-town trips are getting to be a nuisance. If fields trips are necessary, why can't they at least be taken shortly after the beginning of the semester, when less work is to be done? The last few weeks of school are louge easy with the additional work, term reports and semi-finals, without an out-of town field triv. Some students have three courses requiring such field trip. This method of going to the source may be the best way to get practical information and enlightenment. If so, we shall probably have to endure it. It does seem that too many classes and departments are requiring these visits to inquire asylums, penitentiaries, social schools, and advertising agencies. A whole day must be lost to other classes, as well as to any attempt at study. Surely that some other scheme could be worked out whereby students might derive as much benefit at a wet considerably less. Reforms are show in the making, but they do finally arrive. Only now with Calvin Cooleidig about to step from the office of chief executive of our great nation, the Illinois Master Barberi* Association passes the ruling that barbers shall not talk to their customers. UPTOWN Kansas City has moved uptonw What was only an overgrown rural community has been drawn together into a city with a city's attendant problems of law enforcement. Some where in the process she has contracted a virulent attack of Cicagoldism light-dight晖ups, machine gun bank robberies — messenger thefts, and lately, a brutal gang murder, being symptoms of the spread of that disease. In the past two years, crime has been sweeping over the city in ever rising waves. Just now on the crest is the murder of Richard Rask under circumstances that are a striking proach to the present system of law enforcement. Kansas City editorial columns have been extremely discreet in handling the subject. Kansas City police heads have been extremely silent about the whole matter. Is that city going to tolerate the spread of conditions which will give her a name second only to that of Chicago, and if not, what is she going to do about it? A special police force will be employed to keep crooks away from the Republican National Convention in Kansas City next June. We only notice detectives were mind readers. STICKY FINGERS "Sticky fingered" students go about from cafe to cafe taking home with them every variety of salt and pepper shaker, and means, appkins, victoria records, glasses, and silver. These individuals feel slick and self-satisfied as they parade out. They think that they have put something over on the proprietor or clerk who is afraid to stop them for fear of losing student business. If these people would give a little honest thought to the matter they would realize that they were not hurting the proprietor, who makes up the be by raising his prices. Such thieves excuse all their unlawful activities on the ground that they are college students, and that proprietors expect to lose a certain number of things. A constitutional amendment providing that senators and representatives cannot be elected for successive terms has been suggested. A SUGGESTED REMEDY And they would be forced to admit hat there is not so much difference between them and the man who is evinging his time in a penitentiary, excepting their own immunity from unishment. This proposal is advocated so that members may be able to devote all their time to details of legislation, and will not start running for re-election.

ANOTHER ONE OUT Another college professor breaks out with a rush schedule to eliminate safes in the universities. He says dut if tuition is made communicative with the cost of pattern teaching and the student with kombels down and die into the books in a fashion well nigh misaling. This is wrong. The major prionics is wrong, and so are the little noisy numbers. Years ago it was a gift of tuition but, Our Contemporaries --- prudently nowhere is that the case now. This meant that wealthy people could be able to afford the arbitrary of dollars that modern education want, but an arbitrary of education must have some value. What proof is there that more payment of two thousand dollars instead of two hundred dollars would be better, it would seem to point toward the opposite result. While it is not true in all cases, it has been shown by many figures and statistics that work hardest in college are those who have barely enough money to get by on. Having to pay the full cost would mean a much higher education for them. They could not work and earn enough, and by the time they had amassed a sufficient amount by working constantly they were the ones whose lifespan is of the most benefit. What is there to show that the student who can spend only two hundred dollars is of less benefit to the state than one paying two thousand? Notherwhere, a man has either proved or until the man has either proved his value, and it is only by giving full opportunity to potential ability that we can ever discover it.
