MR. CARL MAGEE
Carl Magee, lawyer-journalist—publisher of public rights, brought a most personal aspect of the infamous Fall-Sinclair trial to all those students who heard him yesterday. The University is fortunate to meet and hear the man who has carved such a place for himself in governmental circles by his fearless policies.
That the analytical traits of the lawyer, the devotion to truth of the journalist, and the unofficial attitude of a public servant could be so embodied in one man is rare. Mr. McAgree is a martyr and an example of self-sacrifice upon the altar of public rights. Fully believing in the power and fairness of public opinion, this man waged his war and continued to fight when there seemed little hope of victory. The New Mexico editor offered everything. He stood his ground and never retreated. Within his life lies an example for everyone, not the journalist alone.
He had a story to tell. He told it simply and left out no detail. He even related his fears and moments of weakness.
Mr. Magge stood above against a political ring-rated state knowing the penalty if he should fail, he forgot himself. He has won and the whole country was saved from political vice and corruption.
Charlie Chaplin is working on a new picture. Perhaps the wedding belts for silence may not hang for long but leading ladies have led Charlie up the church side and later let him walk from court alone.
YOU ARE CHALLENGED
FOO! AND CHAD!
London, England - The University is sunset approved of Hobo this day this year if certain responsible organizations would assume the responsibility of policing the Campus to maintain orderliness. This provision was considered necessary by the administration because several outbreaks of rowdyism occurred at the fourth annual Hobo day last Fall.
Hobay day is only a few hours in the future. Kansas spirit has been confined for three weeks, and a general unchecking threats for Friday just before the game. The handful of students, who have accepted the responsibility of keeping order, realizes its inability to meet the situation if the erased should become unruly.
If the students appreciate the situation, they know that the responsibility is placed squarely upon their shoulders.
Faith that students would accept the responsibility for an orderly demonstration, was the basis upon which the day was permitted this year. The organizations that have taken interest in bringing the day into better repute can not alone police the campus adequately and they know it.
students coming from class have more momentum than students going to class which accounts for our walking on the grass.
You are challenged.
A DESERVING PLEA
Students, like anyone else, are usually hounded to donate to this fund and to subscribe to that cause. They are over asked. But not by the Red Cross.
Five realize the true scope of the work of the Red Cross. When one tragedy is in the news, there may be ten minor places where relief work is needed. The Red Cross goes wherever it is called. During the last year, 75 dieters were treated in America and relief was extended in the case of 20 foreign needs. Twenty-five states have been aided during the last year. In no case, have the local Red Cross groups financed their own campaign. The national organization has found it necessary to supplement local funds.
Now, an almost unequaled flood holds New England in its grip. That section is powerless. The Red Cross has made possible for thousands to have a bed, food, and clothing. The Florida hurricane, the Mississippi flood, a tornado in Ohio, and countless other incidents could be cited where the Red Cross was the most instrumental group in relief work. The Red Cross means humanity.
The time for the Red Cross call call is here. Let every student answer "present" when his name is called. It is a deserving plan.
Bride, 49, just a girl to him, says Civil War veteran. Just another example of the youthful marriages that are taking place in such large numbers these days.
ARE AMERICAN POLITICS A FAILURE?
Present conditions make it useless for a politically independent person to vote, according to the anonymous author of the "Confessions of a Non-Voter" printed in The New Republic for Nov. 9. In the eyes of this author it is hopeless for the average voter honestly to determine the correct view-point in any given political question. There is no available source. There is no way for the so-called intelligent voter to know what is the intelligent thing to do.
"The ability of the machines to marshal the moronic masses will always swamp the so-called intelligent voters, even if they were intelligent enough to vote as a unit, which they are not. Divided as they are and always will be, they are jokes.
It Won't Be Long Now
"The uncertainty as to results in general elections does not, as has been the custom to contend, hinge upon the course of the independent and intelligent voter who casts a ballot free from participation and prejudice. Not at all. It hinges upon the question of which machine, with

money and demeaning appeal, is most skillful in enlisting on the side of voters who are swayed by emotion rather than reason - 98% of all of them."
T. A. LARREMORE, Director
With such reasoning, the author concludes that he will refrain from voting. It is his belief that some change will be made if the non-voting public increases to show truly that American political organization is a failure.
The author has forgotten, however, that there may be several reasons other than lack of a source for information that effect the attitude of the individual toward the franchise. Aside from this primary lack of information and the possibility of a party spirit that will hinder unpredicted decision of questions, there stand two very important factors to be considered, indulgence and self interest.
Then too, the broad social and political benefits of the party organization have been overlooked. In a general statement it might be said that party organization is serviceable in harmonizing the organs of government, in enabling the electorate to function, in emphasizing national unity, helping religious intolerance, helping to assimilate foreign elements, and offering the clashes of economic interests.
It is barely possible that the political organizations of America have been and are of some benefit and use.

The Flames *Nother* and the Soult at Kansas City will probably be more or less annoyed at having to face each other since they've been neighbors quite a while and don't give sparks.
According to a newspaper headline there is action at the horse show in Kansas City. Most persons do not associate the word action with horse in this day of high speed motor cars.
The stadium is to get a thrill that comes once in every two years, according to the speed with which tickets are selling for the game.
The more we hear of proposed reforms by Big Bill Thompson, the more surprised we are that the government has done as well as it has before.

would be considerably longer wearing, we admit. But on the other hand and foot, it would have its disadvantages—for example, the loud ringing sound of the pocket flaps. When you want a suit made of mere cloth—and good looking cloth at that—of a kind that wears well—you can't beat a suit of Haddons by Society Brand. It isn't quite "as strong as iron," fortunately for your skin. But for cloth it's mighty serviceable. Particularly good in Oxford gray or blue.
