WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1928 THE BIG SHOW The posters are being put up for the big political circus which will play before the American public during the next few months. Every newspaper is being flooded with an excess of information concerning presidential possibilities. Inumerable columns are run telling of the life and achievements of some one or other will reign supreme. As the time approaches for the big show the interest of the public will be arused to a fever height. Mud will be thrown and political ballyhoo will regain supreme. Nominations and platforms will be made under the glaring scarelight of publicity. Everyone will be either an undying enemy or a trusting friend. Then will come the election in the fall of this year. At that time the political machines will marshal their forces and grandly and gloriously march to the polls. The average citizen will remain at home and complain of the outcome of the election. "Why don't people vote?" may be asked. To which there is no answer save a remark of a famous humour: "It's just another American custom." Everybody is going into vanduelle these days—prize fighters, channel swimmers, eagles of the air, Romans juries, and last but not least, the 1928 University beauty queens; “twenty-eight beautiful girls.” Just as we had about made up our minds to "show" the taxi cab companies by riding on street cars, up go the street car rates. All of which leaves us undescribed as to whether we shall go back to taxiies or to heavy-roofed boats. War and the honors of war! Shell and the bursting of cannon! Cries of agony, bloodshed and carnage! THE BIG PARADE and the bursting of cannot! Cries of agony, bloodbed and carnage! The World war is over. Ten long years have passed since the last hrapal crushed its fatal blow. But the memory still lingers. Even as the final detail passes gradually from there still remain the scars which heartache wrought and pain. Then we take stock of ourselves and decide that if it lies within our power the glazily spectacle shall not be repeated; that it is not worth the prices demanded. Many and varied have been the techniques of those who would outlaw war. Some would do it by disarmament conferences and pacts of peace. Others would force it by legislation. Still others would picture the mass massacre of future wars. Commendable as any of these methods may be, one thing must precede—education of the average citizen. He must be taught that war means more than the singing of patriotic songs or the marching of soldiers in uniform. He must learn to know just what war really is—the heroic, the patriotic, the terrible, the sordid. Until he has seen all sides he can not draw proper conclusions with regard to it. Many of those who fought are with us today. But too soon their story has been forgotten. A younger generation has come upon the scene, a generation which is linkwarm to the tales of a decade ago. To them must again be pictured the history of their elders. It is in this cannacity that such pictures as "The Big Parade" and "What Price Glory?" perform a com-mendable piece of service. They are more than vehicles of entertainment. They are mighty sermons. After they have aided in creating the prope public sentiment, law and legislation and disarmment conferences can do their work. Without this proper back ground all appeals against war will fall upon dear ears. Onward, then, to the task before us! "Worshipped because of his war record, but loved for his post-war activities."—That is the record of many a distinguished soldier, Field Marshal Haig was just one example. Wherece comes the popular fallacy that when a man leaves his old home town, goes to the city or some place and amasses either fame or fortune or both, that he must directly forget all the friends he had in his former station? And why must it be a matter of national moment that when returning to these old familiar haunts he sees, recognizes and shakes hands with an old friend? When General John J. Pershing returned to Kansas City recently, recognized and shook hands with an old friend with whom he had taught school while a young man, the incident was broadcast over the country, General Pershing had recognized a friend! What could be more absurd than this distorted criterion for judging the worth of a man. If Pershing had snubbed his former school teaching friend, that would have been news and perhaps would have set the feature syndicates to gathering material on other great men who had snubbed their former friends. Perishing was not a great man for having recognized his friend; but being a great man, he could see line of demarcation. OUR GREETINGS EXTENDED At the same time we learn that the Kansas Anti-Slavery League has set as part of its 1928 campaign to guide the 20,000 students enrolled in the colleges and universities of the state "in the right path relative to prohibition. JOURGREEK TUITIONS EXTENDED IfDienges were to return to the world today, and start on a search for a functioning traffic policeman, he would have to go no further than our own campus. At last, we have that much needed individual, a traffic noobleman who frequents the highways of the campus instead of its byways. Even between semesters when student traffic is perhaps at its minimum and automobile traffic at its maximum the officer has been on duty calling to task any careless driver who sought to make speedways of the University drives. However, a rebuke given to a driver serves as a warning only to the one receiving the rebuke. There should be a limit to the number of reprimands given to any one driver, and thereafter punishment should take its course. An example made of one persistent violator of the University regulations will do much to prevent student thoughtlessness from being transformed into criminal carelessness. But here's to our traffic policeman whose trilling whistle causes many an auto to slow its pace. May it be heard a fewer number of times each day as student drivers assume a responsibility for the lives of their fellow students. At last the University "tough" who chew nails and shave with jackfruits will have an opportunity to place a place which is in keeping with their demeanor and temperament. Lawrence is to have a saloon with a bar, brass rail, sawdust and—near beer. SHALL WE WEAKEN THE JOHNSON ACT? Nothing could be further from the truth than the belief that the Johnson quota law put an end to our immigration troubles. It is a long step in the right direction, but it is only *n* step, and not the whole distance. In legislation, as in everything else, practice lags a long way behind theory. No sooner had we begun to pat ourselves on the back for having damned out the on-rushing floods, than we learned to our demay that we were getting other low-grade immigrants in place of those that we had formerly received. It came as a result of the fact that the nations of the western hemisphere are not amenable to the quota law. Cheap Mexican labor has swarmed over the Rio Grande and overcurrent the Southwest, spreading out like a fan into the North and East. Bootlegging alienes into the country is one of the most flourishing industries to be found on our southern frontier. What is worse, efforts were made some time ago to beat the devil round the legal stump by legalizing the entry of these smuggled penns. Such efforts, wherever they occur and whoever is responsible for them, should meet with the sternest condemnation. THOSE HIGH FREIGHT RATES J. W. Scott, chief accountant for the Kansas public service commission, has said that freight rate costs in Kansas should be based on conditions within the state alone and not in a group with other western states. Presumably he believes that freight rates in Kansas should be reduced. The farmers of the state have felt the same way for years and with some official support perhaps something can be done to bring the excessive rates down. No one can accuse the United States and the Latin American countries of being unfriendly any more. Wednesday, representatives from 21 countries stood in the Cuban through 21 national anthems. Only friends will enquire that much for each other. Kaiser Bill May Die Like a Dog—Headline. Just as we were about convinced that at just a concrete example had been found proving that justice wins in the out end, we learned that Kaiser Bill is a German police dog who has been condemned to die for killing 30 sheep. Power all-University convocations have been held this year than has been customary. Two convocation speakers have died shortly after making their appearance on Mt. Oread. Perhaps the convocation committee holds the preservation of life foregoat. "Trouble in Raccoon Coat," says a headline. Bitter experience has taught many that long ago. Still John Coolidge, the other day managed to talk his staid pater into the notion of allowing him 500 greenbacks for no other purpose than the purchase of a coat of coatsmok. Shall they never know wisdom? The old idea of a college or university as a place where a student is supposed to receive mental training, physical training, and to obtain a grounding in the best that has been thought and done by manpower for good. We have reached the point where courses in real estate selling, basketball coaching, and so on, can be taught. Just what the modern state college, or even the older and previously smaller colleges, students, other than to provide them with a course in social mixing, opportunities for making friends useful to the college student, some occupational training, I do not know. Remember, I am not speaking of the exceptional student, or of the fledgling college student. --with the smoking of any cigarettes, or the scattering of grapepens in the beds of any freshmen. Editorial of the Day Some time ago I asked a professor in one of the oldest and largest eastern universities what his institute was about, and he nervous who passed their four years there. His answer, after some deliberation, was: "We turn out, as far as I can see, a low grade standardized college." He told me about as much thinking capacity." This may have been unduly pessimistic, but that it was true in the main can be proved by listening to the conversation of college graduates suing their bankers club. There is nothing to distinguish their talk from what one may hear at the bankers' club, realists' association, or any other business men's organization topics: Business, the stock market, bridge, golf, and politics, the last almost invariably as it affects business. Prohibition used to be a sixth, but everyone has his arrangements made under the interest in that topic has declined. Harper's Magazine. The Spring Semester Campus Opinion editorial of the I Should It Be Done? Many criminals prefer to die rather than to be imprisoned for life at hard labor. Others may avoid death by fear of death, and that the death penalty does not necessarily decrease crime. The confessed kidnap-slayer of the *bitt little Los Angeles school girl* has gone on trial. "I can't it out of keepening," she said. "It seems too illogical that it seem illogical in this day of advanced civilization to apply the old barbaric law, 'an eye for an eye and a knife'." Would not Hickman tell more take during life imprisonment than if he were desperately submitted to capita punishment?—D. E. J. What the Kansas Editors Say Then, of all the time it requires a sentence a person to death. The justices agreed with the greatest reluctance. Whereas, in the case of the Michigan kidnapper-slayer, three days after he killed his victim, the rest of his life. Remarkably, in this case the question of insanity was not brought up at all. The trial was Of Course— --with the smoking of any cigarettes, or the scattering of grapepens in the beds of any freshmen. Will Soon Be Under Way- Another of Those Irritating Iglets "I have been reading Abraham Lincoln by Carl Sandburg during the last week, when I was attending the University of Kansas, "and I think it would be excellent work if you can find time, although at least a few hours, would involve the sacrifice of any dates, or interferes You'll find this Cafe a very convenient place to take your meals.

JAYHAWK CAFE The Red Seal Cafe 1340 Ohio I realize that no educational enterprise in which are engaged should be surrendered for the purpose mentioned. I presume that we have a popular idol among the youth of the present day, as they prefer to believe the presidency is more quietly and easily reached via cell phones or search engines. Lincoln with which I am familiar, however fails to reveal that at any period during his lifetime did it occur to the great憧憬er of his generation to go out sleuthing for a saxophone. He never ran out of gas nine miles northwest of the county seat, hence cannot he said to have been anywhere anything."—Larred Tiller and Tulder. Ir. Otto H. Pelzer, holder of the world's record in the half-mile run, took his first workout in the United States on the Stanford University track recently. Doctor Pelzer is a student of economic conditions.
