MONDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1927 FOR SOCIETY'S SAKE For stealing seven chickens, Roy Turner must serve five years in the state prison; and his wife and seven small children must suffer cr be dependent on society. Turner, when arrested, admitte stealing the chickens, but gave as the cause of his action that his wife and seven children were sick from the want of food, and that he did so it order that he might buy them food. The judge ordered a welfare worker to investigate and see if Turner had told the truth. The welfare worker reported that Turner's wife and children were sick and in need of food and medical care. Evidences that Turner had always been a hard working man with an excellent reputation were introduced. The judge asked the prosecuting witness if he wished to push the charge. The prosecuting witness replied that in protection to society he thought it was his duty to do so. Consequently Turner was convicted. For the good of society a man with a former good reputation must serve five years in prison. For the good of society his children must be without a father's guiding hand and protection. For the good of society eight persons must suffer to satisfy the debt to justice for sterling seven chickens. And seven years have not yet suf fleed to convict Fall and Doheny. VALLEY SPLIT BRINGS MORE APPROVAL The action of the six Missouri valley schools in withdrawing from the conference has met with praise from some writers and others have given the opinion that it was a bad move and will turn out to the disadvantage of the schools mentioned. Of the four schools remaining in the conference, only one has made any protest; the others have freely said that they thought the action would be better for them in the long run. A careful analysis will show that the six schools had ample justification for their action. A study of the six schools shows that they compose the strongest institutions in the conference, and they are all age-old rivals athletically Drake, Washington, Oklahoma Aggies, and Grinnell found valley athletic competition a heavy drain on their finances because of the long trips required to meet schools on foreign fields, and all of the institutions except the Oklahoma Aggies have complained in the past of the expense required for competition. Grinners has hardly been able to make ends meet; that school expressed genuine joy at being released from such an expensive proposition. The change will mean that these schools can choose opponents nearer home and has cut down on expenses. By having ten schools in the conference, it was impossible to play round robin schedules in any sport and thus it was an utter impossibility to arrange fair schedules. This is well illustrated by the fact that last year the Oklahoma Aggies claimed the valley football championship on the basis of having won all of their valley games. Their claim was just from one viewpoint; but how could any other valley school look upon them as champions when they only played three valley games and had lost a number of their outside competes? The schools will be able to play more intersectional contests. The new conference will enable a round robin system in all sports and will make competition much better for all of the schools concerned. Ever since the famous deadlock in the Democratic convention of 1924 there has been much discussion as to what effect the nomination of Al Smith would have had. Now, as the 1928 campaign approaches, the discussion is again both pertinent and rife. AL SMITH AND THE SOLID SOUTH Most discussions of such type have confined themselves to the probable effect of the nomination in the West The South, so long known as "Solid," has been neglected in most discussions. Few people realize the exact composition of the electorate in the South. In order for the Southerner to exclude the Negro from the vote certain measures have been passed. These are well worth keeping in mind first, a long term of residence is necessary for suffrage. Secondly, literacy tests are employed. Now these measures, have never been employed directly to disfranchise whites; only against negroes have they been used as barriers. But the result has been a natural Democrat majority and an annuity among the white which has materially cut down registration. As a result, a small defection among Democratic ranks, coupled with the scattering Republican votes, might mean a Republican victory. Students of southern politics have declared that any split in the Democratic ranks would result in Democratic failure. Two other facts are perilent. Smith is wet. He is also a Catholic. The South, despite the mint julep trai The Jay Jane meeting will be held Tuesday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in the Best Room of central Administration building. Bring your dees. Morma Zell Wagstaff.

Republican before they could vote for Al Nith. With the present small electorate, very few changed votes would be required to throw the election. And the measure aimed of keeping down the core Republican vote, also mollified against a sudden increase of the white Democratic vote. The bunter may have fallen into his own trap.
