TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1928 JUST POLITICS "There is strife in the ranks of the Democratic party." "It is certain that the solid ranks of the Republicans will split if However is nominated." "What is McAdoo going to do?" "Al Smith is sure to be the Democratic nominee." "The country demands a modification of the prohibition amendment." "There is no liquor problem." Such conflicting reports appearing in the daily newspapers serve to confound the great mass of the public which is dependent upon the press as a source of information. The reader is at a loss where to turn for a reliable source for information on questions of political significance. The baldly shy sent through the great press services is news. People are interested in the activities of political leaders. They do not realize that often these same leaders originate much of this great amount of speculation and present these many issues in an effort to ascertain the reaction on the public mind and the formation of definite public sentiment. The intelligent reader must learn to judge the news and to discount those items and attitudes of an obviously partisan nature. He must learn to develop an attitude of inquiry in all politics and to take a balanced common-sense view-point of a seemingly chotic political ferment. The press is not entirely at fault. An educated people should and must develop discrimination and reasoning along lines of political Democracy. The announcement of the presentation of the distinguished service medi-cal, Charles R. Forbes for "ex ceptionally meritorious and district guided services" must indeed be gru-fying to those disabled veteran who have directly derived the benefit of his acts while director of the vet eran's bureau. The unique Ashland School for Adult Education to be conducted next summer from July 30 to Sept. 8 near Grand Rapids, Mich., will undoubtedly attract a great many of those persons who are wanting to find themselves and the meaning of life, and who seem to be baffled by their experience thus far. AN EXPERIMENT IN EDUCATION Any one 18 years old will be admitted if he is willing to divorce himself from the usual means and methods of education, including textbooks, formal lectures by professors, and examinations, and to strive, side by side with his teachers, to solve personal problems. The experiment is under the supervision of Dr. J. E. Kirkpatrick, whose book, "The American College and Its Ruler," based on his experiences as a professor at Harvard, caused much comment when it appeared. The major life situations to be discussed during the course of study, include sex, marriage, and home. Here is surely a program that is worthy of the earnest participation of all persons who are seeking for a better understanding of themselves and life. "Frailty, thy name is woman," said Shakespeare once, but he never tried to feed a co-ed.

A four-hour working day and a six-day week—that is one of the bubbles out of which are constructed the dreams of Paul Blamhard, doctor extraordinary of the better economic order. WHY NOT HAVE IT? Blanshard advanced his theories during the debate with Judge Huggins the other evening. "Why not have it?" be pleaded. "This is the age of machinery and manual labor is daily being crowded to the background by it. We are powerless to frustrate mechanical power in its advance. The best we can do is to reconstruct our present economic order so as to meet the change effectively." If we adorn the system, Mr. Blanshard feels, we may 75 years hence find ourselves once more in step with the economic tendencies of the day. We may utilize the maximum of production while at the same time looking out for the welfare of the polizer. The vast burdens of unemployed will be set to work and the average worker will be initiated into an entirely new and a richer existence. There will be home life, schooling, literature, drama and travel—all the things which are necessary to complete happiness but which at the present time are denied the average day laborer. Blindness is convinced that as a result of the proposed system, there will come a contentment and a sympathetic understanding between capital and labor which is unknown to the present generation. It is surely an inviting picture. We are happy to learn that Lioumenant Williams has successfully completed two outside loops in his airplane. This leads us to impire "Well, what of it?" If Jules Verre could only be alive his heart would be happy indeed. At last some one has taken seriously the idea of outwitting gravity by the firing of a mysterious rocket. Rober, Could has built such a projectile on Miami Beach and plans to leave on his trip to Venus.

Editor Daily Kansun: One of our budding young writers one who feels the weight of his responsibility, as your column provider and the university, "holds forth on the relative merits of Washington and Lincoln. If you remember, the thing that bed him to this exhilaration was the University, which recently on the anniversary of the former's birth, "Why should Congress discriminate in honoring the one who died for us, and indeed, I too should like to know something of this important question. One thing, however, bothered me this is the fact that Congress newsmen are not allowed a day a holiday for us. At the head of his remarks stand the profound words "Llegal holdouts." Yet I should care more about learned competencies of knowledge which adhere the walls of your new room was consulted in discovering that "Danielle's birthday is not a legal holiday," and that we look in any standard book of facts Don't delay till our crowded season before sending your dresses, suits, light coats, etc., to be refreshed. The smartness and respectability we renew may give you new ideas about the clothes you need to buy. he would have discovered that there are no national holidays, but that some are observed through the country. Some of them all the states have made them one. The most surprising thing of all is that Lincoln's birthday is a legal holiday in fourteen states, including our state. These are nearly all northern and eastern states, but the status of the day is exactly the same. If your writer thinks that classes do not meet the requirements for graduation that we have had school on two legal holidays this year, namely Arbor Day, October 12, and Lincoln's birthday, February 12, in addition to January 4, they are observed generally as such this year. I would wish luck back to your entrepreneurial writers. Their's is a life lesson for anyone who doesn't like this time they have pleaded me.

Now that I find my chief objection in the work of the task, I am only served to make me dissatisfied. "Probably Congress made," to use the words of your writer, should read "Congress didn't make an effort." The word is used in a way that it is they we have to thank or blame. Personally, it seemed to me quite a challenge to get the middle of the week off for a group of students who had come some distance to get an education. When I was 12, my grandmother taught me.
