Yes, the trial's capacity to hold the interest of the public rivalled that of the Jack and Gene revoil in Soldiers Field if Kansas City and Topeka newspapers columns are a criterion. Mary Atkinson, an Oklahoma nurse was accused of having poisoned Mary Jane Bailey, the daughter of an Enid clergyman. She has received a courtroom acquittal of the charge and Justice Foggleson has dismissed her case. The whole sitir was made much about nothing. But even though the nurse had been found guilty, the matter would not have warranted widespread publicity. Public interest was awakened by the sentimentality of the case strengthened by the publishing of the love letters of the mirre to a clergyman. The added interest of the possible poisoning of a girl complicated the matters of a love case. The metropolitan newspapers capitalized the tawdy affair. Conservative press members had special correspondents at the scene, and they splashed their front pages with court proceedings. Every imaginable detail of the trial was revealed. Here is an excerpt from the embellished story of one staff correspondent: "There was one keen disappointment for the best of femininity, ranging from girls up to women old enough to be Mary's grandmother. That was that Father Bailey did not take the witness stand. They had enjoyed seeing Mary's heart laid bare, her love told in letters to him, her inscriptions binted at in supposed suicide notes, and her caressing of the preacher as told by his children. "However, the state did not call Father Bailey to the witness stand for two reasons. In the first place it was decided it might be had policy to crucify a minister publicly," (that would have been horrible) "Bend being a church town with the church influence going strong in political circles." Tommy-rot, ad infinitum! Appetite grows on what it feeds, and the nurse has been too much an integral part of our morning oatmeal and coffee. FIVE YEARS OF GRID- GRAPH AND JAYHAWK Just five years ago this month our grid-graph arrived. It was operated at first by an expert sent by the manufacturer from Columbus, but it was soon found that ordinary students could operate it with as much efficiency. The first game to be flashed on the electrical apparatus was the Kumaz-Army battle. Stu We invite comparison Quality — Finish — Comfort Prices no higher J. B. Lowell Shoe Shop 17 West 9th DR. H. H.

Connected with the grid-graph history is the fact that the rubber Jayhawk bird was invented five years ago this week. It was first used on the trip of the Kansas football team to West Point, Chester Shore, A. B. 286, is the originator of the bird. His first Jayhawk was a rubber affair which, when filled with air, would dart into the air and go some distance before landing. And now—five years later the grid-graph and the Jahyuwk have become as much a part of the University as sugar is of the pie. AN EXPERIMENT IN PSYCHIC RESEARCH It has been proved conclusively that the spirit lives after death—that the influence of man or animal can be felt and even sensed long after the body has passed on to its eternal reward or punishment, whichever the case may be. Just ask any student who had a class in old Fraser chapel Friday. He knows. To prove absolutely the eternity of spirit, a clever scientist experiment was conducted unknown to the philosophers, theologists, or scientists. The experimenter was a skunk. Students were the victims or, speaking scientifically, the objects. The hypothesis: That the spirit survives after death, Solution or Process: (1) A skunk, vory large, hides itself in the basement of Fraser chapel. (2) Students and instructors come to class and sense the skunk in no uncertain way. Now it is absolutely settled that the skunk had in personality. (3) The juanions search out his hair of the pole-cat and describe the animal of life. Now then, will the skunk still proceed to make its presence known? Result: It does Proof: Ask anyone who has had a class in Fraser chapel or who has been in the same vicinity. Campus Opinion Freshman Cap Regulations Considered Foolish Editor Deile, Kenyan This year as formerly, certain apostles of the flesh have made their influence mighty in this place where wisdom is supposed to presure. They have sought after no new or unknown thing but have tried to interest intelligent humans with that hackedness that freshmen must wear, the lockery, that freshmen must wear caps. No doubt the city merchants are glad, for here is something which, like quix books, is sure toice but. But the city merchants are no longer careless of tradition? It is merely an imposition on a class of students who are too much unorganized and uninterested in business. Let any group try to enforce this rule on a stated section of upper-classmen, and Professor Ransom Kauzan with campus scenes for illustrations. The students of Kansas think themselves men. Now is the time that they should prove it so. They should raise the question and then the spirit of K. U. will be truly noble, and truly chirking—W, I, B. ARE SPEECHES OUT OF DATE? Editorial of the Day A crowd, mostly Kansana, at the state fair at Hutcheon interrupted Senator Jim Reed of Missouri, after he bad talked about 40 minutes, and the senator quit with one or two sarcastic and insulting remarks. Most of the papers have commented editorially upon the incident, and most of them have inscribed that Reed talked of the wrong things and took the wrong attitude on the things of which he did choose to speak, and therefore his too-long speech grew worrisome to the crowd and they simply showed their disapproval. As a matter of fact, the crowd really cared but little what Scorter Reed spoke about or what he said. Not ten people in the entire audience paid enough attention to quote accurately the next day, just what he did say. They were just not interested. They were not there for that purpose. They wanted to see the fair, the races, the displays, mingle Knox Hats K. U. Beauty Parlor at 922 Mass St. HOUK AND CUREEN PLANTER at 727 Mass.

It would be a good deal like a man trying to make a speech on the turf or foreign missions to the crowds in the grandstand while the baseball teams were working out and came time was at hand. The writer had the task and the honor of presiding at the Harvey County Old Southern meeting at Hastedown in 1926, for instance, and on each day of the picnic a good speaker had been secured. Representative Bill Ayres one day and Rita Sutorat Ben Hepler the other. Both had good speeches. There were thousands of people in the park. The band played at the speaker's stand, then slipped away to a remote corner of the park to play for some other attention, and the crowd slipped away with the band. Ayres and Hepler each had about a score of people who sat down and listened to their speeches. What is the answer? Is it the "jazz tune"? Are public speeches going out of data? Are people well read and well posted and consider public speeches useless and state? Anyway, it is evidence that the American group are assuring their inids. pendence to the Nth, and refuse to be forced to do things they do not want to do, even listen to a United States court. — Newton Kunnan.
