THE POMP IN OPENING PARLIAMENT
Yesterday was a day of pump and ancient pageentry in London. The occasion was the royal opening of Parliament.
It is interesting to note the fairy-
like magic of the performance which
necompanies this famous event in
England. The splashes of color, the
flashing of bayonets, the shooting of
orders, the sounding of trumpets—it
is a scene of fairy-tale splendor .
King George might have felt himself to be the prince charming of Cinderella's time. There was the golden conch with the gold-cad partillons, and the footman with the six white horses to pull the carriage. Inside was the king, robed in ceramic and jewels, on his way to the opening of England's great law making body.
It is most difficult to picture the England we know in a setting of kings, golden coaches and white horses. We are prone to think of England much as we think of ourselves. But contrast, if you will, the picture of the assemblage of Parliament with the gathering of the United States congress.
We are willing to scatter the snow cloud of Broadway upon famous persons, we are willing to line the streets to cheer Lieberdich, we are anxious to see the visiting queen and to give her an American welcome. But we could not appreciate a presidential parade of gold and ermine.
JUST ANOTHER LITTLE WAR
After reading the list of foods which made up the menu at the Kansas Day Club banquet Monday night one almost concludes that in Kansas at least some melting has been going on in the melting pot. The "repeat" included everything from Irish potatoes and German cabbage to Texas grapefruit and Hawaiian pineapples.
The reader opens his morning paper and is confronted with headlines telling of another war in Mexico. He is not excited in the least, for to him it is an old story. He yawns a little and turns the pages. "Just another war," he observes absently.
The reader does not think of the suffering and traveil that he is witnessing. To him it is an almost unimportant incident in the day's news. He can not picture a nation that has become poverty stricken, a nation of peons, and in contrast, people of immense wealth. Mexico is a nation of contradictions, a nation of failure, yet a nation of possibilities.
Indeed there has been much pro-
gress in the past 50 years. The peri-
dic revolutions have almost subs-
ided. The banditry of this poverty,
stricken country has been reduced to
a minimum—but yet there is a long
way to go.
Mexico has suffered from the exploitation of powerful nations and unscrupulous business men. Her natural resources have been slowly into the control of powers other than herself. Her struggle for self-determination is worthy and commendable.
The individual should pause a moment and consider the possibility of a weak neighbor nation and sympathize with her in her endeavors toward becoming the independent and powerful state that she should be.
What a wonderful innovation this insanity伞 is turning out to be in modern life, a wonderful excuse for such actions as the erring one may wish to perform.
LET'S ALL BE INSANE
Such an idea may prove to be an immeasurable benefit in coming years. How convenient it will be for the criminal to rob in a moment of insanity, for the bil-and-run motorist to be incarcerated temporarily when hold responsible for the taking of life by carcass driving. The harried spouse will no longer fear killing her husband and the husband can plead temporary insanity during the courtship, proposal, and marriage. The college student can flunk exams and find a new excuse. What a Utopia for the exercise-seekers.
Should the law makers be included in the "temporarily insane" class to account for the present condition of our legislative system, or should they be congratulated for their ingenious devices for providing hypodipses for our criminal class?
Perhaps a better idea would be to abolish all petitionaries and supplant them with anylaws wherein the supposedly ineffective can make statements for the press, cliding the legislative system of the nation and thinking their jurors for their extreme generosity.
"He called it Greenland because it was a good name," the sings say of Turf Erickson. Perhaps that was why Mayor Thompson called the six cornered stars English.
UP TWO FLIGHTS AND TO THE LEFT
From the main lobby of central Administration building it is only 60 feet to the door of the University art exhibition room, which houses a different collection each month. Up two flights, turn to your left, and you there are. The emphasis this month is again local; the exhibit is made up of the work of our own Prof. Albert Bloch.
If you enjoy color, bright, daring and unusual, these studies will have a great appeal. They are worked out in a modern manner and should be interesting to many for that reason alone.
The titles barely suggest the color possibilities that Professor Blach has developed. Some of the most striking canvases are Pantastera, Red and Blue Fantasy in Yellow; Flower Boy; and Winter, 1925. The paintings represent a period of ten years, 1917 to 1927.
This exhibit reminds us of the talent that we have about us in every department and that we often do not know about, or do not care about, but that is known and praised by others, often by nationally known critics. The monthly art exhibition for a splendid opportunity for students to become better acquainted with the work of persons or our own faculty.
And while you are up on third floor Administration building do not miss stopping in for a few minutes with the Brynwood collection, even though you may have seen it many times before. An art collection must grow on one. It develops and means more as our appreciation grows. The Brynwood collection contains some excellent paintings, many of them by celebrated American artists, and merits more study than most students give it.

Which might have sounded reasonable enough had not the listener, in unconventional practice of thinking unconventional practice of thinking for a brief moment after he overheard it.
Thinking, for instance, of the unfavoritates condition now in existence at the University, is perhaps 'higher' in learning which professors demand reams of notes on readings and lectures that incite an interest in research, and which are checked in and searched, and which are checked in and searched.

Thinking also of the attitude of the students of getting by with as little effort as possible, they need teachers, to stick to their melient system with even more than usual teaching.
Perhaps too, of the remarkable training students thus receive for the job, is the employer, like the professor of college days, enforces unfair or fool rules and the student, now an college graduate, encounters every little dirty bit he can be behind the "bosses" back, and curses him for his misconduct, little worse than his own.
Showing the New Spring Woolens
Editor Daily Karsan;
It would no doubt be both helpful and enlightening to have from the pen of the writer of "The Plot on the 'Scutecone', in last night's paper, a series of articles, each dealing with the weaknesses of the various professions.
After commencing such a series upon the unhappy aspects of the legal process, we find that the whole gumit and all say many vulgarly truthful things about all purposes, but not be shown in such an unfair, unfavorably comparative view, this
Possibly, and very properly, he could procure some layman to make comment and observation upon the doubtful halo of his own profession. He would be pleased to present our material available upon such a subject.—A. T. M.
Editor's Note: We thunk the writer of the Campus Opinion for his suggestion for further editorsials. If we possibly can we shall meet his opinions and be especially simple out the legal profession. A beginning had to be made somewhere, and material on this subject was available. There is at least one other point in the facts of the legal profession" as presented in the editorial, we believe.

Palac Casals, Spanish cellist, who played last night in the auditorium, was a master, but so also was his encyclopedic guide. He still skill as a pianist delighted the audience almost as much as Mr. Casals' performance on the cello. Taken together the two made a combination length round after round of aplause.
Mr. Caussal put rare interpretive feeling into every stroke of his bow. Throughout the concert he played great music, and heart seemed to be concentrated on the sound he produced. His first number was "Sonata in G" by Vivaldi, and his second "Canto in A Minor" by Saint-Saens was distinguished by great variety of movement and range of tone, which he followed with his bow as an encore. Encores were also

The perfect supplementation of piano and cello was marked, the former rounding out and enhancing the
