SUNDAY, MAY 8, 1927
MOTHER'S DAY
We are observing Mother's Day o. Mt. Oread today with banquets in the organized houses and a Mother's ten in the afternoon. Hundreds of mothers, from all sections of Kansas and adjoining states, will spend Sunday in Lawrence with some and daughters.
Students, although oftentimes neglectful in writing or visiting parents, are not unappreciative of them. Their home life means much, and a combination of parental and filial ties means even more.
We love our mothers. We are glad to welcome them to the University for a visit on this day, when they are uppermost in our thoughts. Our only regret is that all of the mothers cannot come to Lawrence today to renew acquaintanceships with the University their children attend.
Massachusetts will pay a tribute to the cod by putting a picture of a fish on next year's automobile tags. As a further tribute it is suggested that the motorists use cod liver oil in their engines.
We have an interloper. Our invi-
tiation to Spring didn't include Sum-
mer.
AMERICAN JUSTICE
A long rope with a mouse at one end. Furious fames lapping their greedy tongues at the charred bones of a human body. A forciveness, shrinking, savage mob glancing over the victim of its fury. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a picture of one of America's famous outdoor sports—the lynching of a Negro.
Last week a maddened mob in Little Rock, Ark., demonstrated to the world just how the deed is done. The chivalrous and intrigued whites took John Carter, alleged rapist, to a nearby forest and lynched him. Then in order to appease their terrible wrath they dragged his body to the Negro section of the city and burned it. The lynching of another Negro was threatened, while a third was shot by a member of a crowd parading through the colored district.
All this happens, remember, in the land of the free and the home of the brave. It happens in a land where courts, not mobs, are supposed to decide the guilt or innocence of a man. It happens so frequently that it has become one of the earrums of America's civilization.
The frenzy of the mob has subsided. All is quiet again. The avengers have dispersed to go to their homes and their places of worship. To them the murderous act has been only an exciting adventure. To themselves, and only to themselves, they are heroes. To the rest of the world they are not courageous citizens, but cowardly killers; not workers of justice, but destroyers of it. To the rest of the world the occurrence will be another crimson sploon on the national character of America. The crime committed by the Negro was a beautiful one, but his punishment should be meted out by the courts through due process of law, not by mob violence.
How long, we ask, will the cautions exponents of law and order sit compatically by while a fiendish mob drags justice in the dust whenever it chooses?
remember you, Mother
When you coughed my hair,
While I kicked and screamed protest
TO MOTHER
Jen you stooped to kiss my head-
Your kiss you tender,
And I remember you, Mother,
I remember
When you wurned twin babies
Sitting on an old divan.
Your lovely deep eyes
Rested carefully
Upon the roay smiling faces,
And you smiled, too--
I remember you, Mother,
` remember you
When father left home
Because it was war-time,
Your face turned darkly and
bloodied.
Becoming the team like medicine,
and when you went to bed,
You slowly cambled your hair
and wept again
Hiding the tears from me and broth
I remember you then.
I remember you, Mother.
I remember you then,
And I remember, Mother your singing;
Singing of Life, of Love, of Youth
Singing to the tune of a buzzing spindle;
While twirting the smooth thread
Around and around your fingers;
Singing to the rhythm of a sewing machine;
Singing when feeling happy;
Singing in a sorrowful mood—
"remember you, Mother,
I remember you.
now get a little girl,
When you left this horrid world—
Secret yours ago,
And now you are a dead woman,
Brutally dead,
No more song,
No more town,
No more hobbit smiles for you,
And now I am a young woman
Joyfully young,
I shall sing,
I shall weep,
And I shall drink
Into the eyes of smiling babies,
My own babies—
While remembering you, my Mother
While remembering you,
My Mother's Hurricane
THE WORK GOES ON
Students, University organizations,
Lawrence business men, and even
Kansas Citians are responding loyally
to the call for help in the benefit
entertainment being planned for the
relief of "flood" conditions in the
Southern states.
Although plans are only barely under way for the program next Thursday night, voluntary assistance has been pouring in on every hand. Mr. Dickinson has offered the use of the Orpheum theater free of charge. Some WDAF entertainers of Kansas City have promised to give us their talent. Hill organizations have already responded wholeheartedly.
We have been slow to begin a campaign on the Hill, but now that it has started the effort is glorifying. Friends of the cause have taken the initiative and have carried on the work willingly. The success of the undertaking is assured.
The co-operative bookstore has already done some good. One bookstore has fixed up a tennis court for students and another is offering a vizer for student art work.
After the snow and cold and displeasance of the drub winter months, Kanans always look forward with joyous anticipation to the coming of spring with its attending greenery, freshness, and gentle breezes.
SPRING
The first vestige comes when, bright and cherry, the sun warms up in April and the natives loudly proclaim that spring is here. Dad gets out all the last year's fishing tackle, son brings forth the old canoe and soaks it up, mother impedes her last summer's light silk frocks and daughter buys new ones because she just hasn't anything that's fit to wear.
But the next day it rains! And the next day it rains!
Then we have a series of what are commonly termed April showers. We ruin our clothes, we can't drive our automobiles, we can't go many places. All we see are slickers, slickers, slickers; our feet are wet and our spirits are dampened. Then there follows an epidemic of spring colds.
No rehearsal will be held Sunday. Cluin will sing for the Batary Club on Monday, May 16, instead of May 9. Watch bulletin board and official bulletin for further developments regarding radio date and flood relief benefit concert. T. A. LAREMORE, Director.

PHI DELTA KAPPA:
P Phil Delta Kappa will meet in municipal reference room, Watson Is- mary, Tuesday, May 10 at 7:30 p.m. This is an important meeting.
Of course it seems like a lot of bunk—this graduating—the wearing of a cap and gown and the family sitting somewhere in the background waiting to applaud when its young hopeful shall receive his slip of paper which will later entitle him to a diploma, but it really is an awfully little thing to do after all. Of course, too the diploma in itself is of relatively little value, but the effort which has been put forward to attain what it stands for has been of value. It has been of more value than the senior can now realize. Lessons learned both from within text books and outside them will sooner or later have to be put into practice. Much will have to be learned new and a great deal will have to be learned for the first time, after the college graduate finds himself carving a living for himself.
PHI SIGMA:
The annual banquet of Phi Sigma society will be held at the Thimble tea room at 6:30 p.m., m. Monday, May 9. All members are urged to attend. Tickets may be purchased from your department representative or from Mr. Glenn Giffin, treasurer. You are invited to bring guests.
But even now it is cold again and it is difficult for numb fingers to hunt typewriter keys.
Survive in Kuwait.
The optimist tells us we should be thankful we do not live in Louisiana. Usually it turns cold again with phaps a little snow. Then for a change it rains again. By that time May is here and it does actually warm up. Warm up! The sun comes out hot and swelling, the steam comes up from the ground, and the wind blows. It isn't a gortle breath such as was anticipated. No, it's a strong, hot, blistering wind that almost sweeps you off your feet. Women grab at skirts and men chase their hats down the street. Often there is dust, Sunburn, freckles, poling, savage mobs gliding over the indulge us.
A prominent college president remarked once a few years ago that one of the most important things that a college education does for a man is to teach him how to play—how to enjoy life thoroughly—without making of him a never-do-well. Can the college graduate make a living and can he also get more out of life than if he had never had the advantage of a college education? If he can, then is he worthy to be graduated.
C. R. GARVEY, President.
The sight of Uncle Jimmie Green holding the coat of one of the law students early Tuesday afternoon was very touching. It no completely symbolizes Uncle Jimmie's attitude toward his "lawss," no matter what kind of a scrape they got into.

It was a quarter of nine. He had'a date with his best girl for the second show. But now he was in a pickle—he did not know what was being shown at either of the theaters and he hated to display his ignorance before her. Besides there was a possibility that she too might have overlooked inquiring what was on at the Bowersock or Varsity.
IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY
He could not hire a taxi to drive them first to one and then the other; that cost real money, and besides, there wasn't time.
Then he had a thought. The University Daily Kansan carried an advertisement of each theater. They would help him decide. He hurried downstairs, searched for the Kansan, but it was not in its usual among the litter. Someone had been there before he had.
Have you ever had the same experience as this fellow? You can avoid it by subscribing to your own Daily Kansan next fall. Think of the pleasure and enjoyment you will get out of thinking, "It is my Kansan to 'cut and clip' as I desire."
