TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 15.1927 THE PRICE OF ERROR A cynical American public is about to raise its eyebrows. The government of the United States shows post-signal signs of accepting the challenge that "you can't put a million dollars in jail." The Sinclair-Fall scandal of Te Pot Dome fame, which has been hanging heavily on the balances of an outraged justice for nearly six years, takes a turn toward the worse for one of the conspirators. All because he blundered. Just one little blunder because he considered himself impregnable brought the latest rain against Harry Sinclair which promises to be fatal to him. Carl C. Magge, a New Mexico editor who is on the campus today, slipped a monkey wrench into the machinery of oil graft a long time ago it seems to us. Nonchantly, denominally, Sinclair and his millions paraded before the public. For six years he commanded the sporting respect of a fatalistic multitude. His ship was riding on stondy keel despite the fact that a few of his crew walked the plank. But he made one little slip. He tried to find an easy way out of his numerous difficulties. So he tapped with a mechanism that even slow moving American justice guards most zealously. Carefully, he hired Burns detectives to shadow the jurors. The jurors were interviewed and the detectives fabricated testimony with the purpose of forcing a mistrial thereby delaying a six-year course of justice indefinitely. No doubt, Sinclair had become irked by the long surprise, but manaces of evidence are being compiled that will make him less anxious in the future. Now it seems that two parties will learn something from this tragedy. Sinclair will learn the golden lesson of patience; the American public, that a million dollars can be put in jail. Is the small red box which has been placed at the entrance of the library to be used as a depository for "sunjin?" THE LATEST CAMPUS SONG "Where, oh where, can our traffic can be?" Such seems to be the latest and most popular air sung by students on their way to and from classes as they more or less successfully dodge the speeding motor cars. Now that we have that long sought for, a functioning student council, why not have a functioning traffic policeman? The Council went to great pains to make a rule against speeding on the University driveways and went to still greater pains to provide stringent penalties for the violation of the rule or law. But a law is no better than the enforcement of it. And as cars continue their speeding way throughout the day along campus highways, we reflect upon a governing body that will continue to make regulations at the enforcement of which there is only a faerial attempt. Let us have a little more enforcement of the regulations already made, and not so many new ones. There are enough penalties already provided to bring about results. SOME DAY THE TWAIN SHALL MEET The well-known Harvard superiority complex which no long ban has the subject of comment seems to have reached just about the height of its complexity. In the Admission monothet, the Harvard Crisson recently suggested something might be done about the "smug competence" now existing. The fact that Harvard has played a prominent man in the history of our country, and that some of our greatest men have been enrolled there, has led many of our present students to assume a highly superior attitude toward the rest of the world. As a result, the present alignmen finds Harvard people on the one side and "a majority of the rest of the world" on the other. This, according to the Crismon, is hardly a fair division. The student paper suggests the Harvard men must, through a toto ant and intelligent contact with me of other institutions, come to the conviction that all good things are centered in Cambridge, and that the most sooner or later school themselves to an open-minded acceptance ( "manners and methods strange", per hape, but measured by a different standard quite as good." Harmed men may listen to this and vice. They may even try to follow it. Hard as it will be for an eastern school to recognize one from the west, we may still see the old adage disproved; Ewell will still be East and West will be West, but perhaps after all, some day the twain shall meet. With Turkey Day drawing near, anw. with Kamaşar City turkey promising to sell for 55 cents per pound, it is predicted that a large Kamaşar City delegation will enter the Annual Turkey Run. FOR THE SAKE OF THE RAND The University of Kansas band a fine organization. There is no question about that. Both in size and i the quality of music produced, it ranks, probably, the highest in the Missouri Valley. Regardless of this, however, several weaknesses, which if corrected would help the band to attain an even higher standard. One of these is the uniform. At the end of each year the members are required to check in their uniforms, and the next fall the uniforms are checked out to the new members. Under such a system it often is difficult to get a correct fit. The out and style of the uniforms is not to be commended either. It is to be questioned whether it is in any manner representative of the Kansas spirit.

What a fate that his hero workershers can't talk! it productive of just the opposite effect. Just one other point. The majority of the university hands have a snappily dressed drum major out in front when the band is on parade. He may not aid to the quality of the music, but a better atmosphere is created. The Kannan believes the Kanans director could profit somewhat by the use of more formal attire. November night awaken our pearson passion. One strenuous on a millet, buffeted by the oncoming wind.

Phyllis Haver in the Chicago prostitute was the typical role, although at time she overdid it. "The Way of All Flash" is a strong portrayal of a wrecked life. It is not a carefully plotted story in which seers are involved, but a traughed. Rather, it is the story of one figure who stands out above all others. It holds the audience as no other can do better. It feels sentient. Those who saw it felt the accents of the character lived his burials, went with him over his murmur, and lived in his burial in happiness. Bentinckists will enjoy the duretie for its emotional qualities; others will appreciate it for the fine acting of Emil Jannings.

WHETHER in the Bell Telephone Laboratories, in the Western Electric workshop or in the various operating companies, telephone executives are scouts on the frontier of better methods to serve the public. It is significant that your true telephone man, he with the feel of the calling in his blood, never speaks of having Who will scout this electrical frontier? "perfected the communication." And this in spite of the fact that America, by its solid achievements in telephony, shows the world. Work in the Bell System demands the bold curiosity of pioneers and the infinite pains of pioneers who, like Columbus, Lincoln and Lindbergh, prepared "and when their chance came they were ready."
