TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 1927 POLITICS IN THE JAYHAWKER The Hill was surprised on the day before elections to find in the Independent political advertisement an indorsement of John Foster and Clarence Munn as editor and business manager respectively of the Jayhawker. Politics has never been completely divorced from the Jayhawker election, but such a gross violation was a flanking of the sorpidness of Hill politics. The Kansas does not know what is back of this advertisement. It does know that the election was close, that this advertisement was an announcement to Independent voters to support Foster and Manns, and that it undoubtedly swung enough votes to enable Foster to win. It also knows the rampant rumors about trading of votes. The Korean hopes that Mr. Foster was not implicated in this violation. It hopes that he is worthy of the position to which he was elected. But it believes that he can add considerable prestige to himself, in recognizing that his election may have been obtained by the infringement of Jayhawk voter rules, by agreeing to hold another election in which politics will be completely divorced and the editorship decided on merit alone. The political phase of this incident is an disconcerting as any in Hill Politics. The parties ask the students to take them seriously and confidentially, then they immediately violate a trust. They plaint that the administration will not allow them to bring in student government, then they immediately bring about the failure of what student government they have by infringements like the one just cited. It is time the parties exercised a little introspection. Until they do they can never hope to obtain the confidence of the students in general and the administration. Abe Martin should say, you don't have to join the University affair to get the thrill of the deep. GOVERNOR SMITH'S REPLY Governor Smith's answer to the Marshall letter published recently in the Atlantic Monthly, in which he was naked to define his position with respect to his loyalty to the church and the constitution, is an extraordinary document, not only because of the context, but because it will perhaps mark the beginning of a new era in political thought. The New York executive declares that his adherence to the Catholic faith does not subordinate his loyalty to the country, and that he recognizes no power within the church to interfere with the workings of the constitution or the enforcement of the law. Moreover, Governor Smith affirm his belief in the absolute separation of the church and the state. In his opinion, "no tribunal of any church has power to make any decree of force in the law of the land other than to establish the status of its own communicants within the church." He announces his belief in the system of public schools, and in the "prin- eiple of not-interference by this country in the internal affairs of other nations." it seems to be a fair and just expression of loyalty by one who believeth not only in the religious freedom of mankind, but in economic and political freedom as well. His record as governor of New York testifies even more convincingly to his loyalty to the state and country. During his three terms as chief executive of the state, he has championed unmet恳切性和 daringly the cause of the common people and has carried forward the banner of progressive democracy. His recent fight to preserve the St. Lawrence waterpower site for the people of the state, rather than let it be exploited by private concerns, is an example of the service he has rendered. Governor Smith's letter ought to seetle forever the question of religion in presidential campaigns. The constitution of the United States makes no discrimination between citizens of the country because of religious affiliations, yet there are many who would stir up the papal bogy; every presidential year. Catholics are elected to the office of governor; their constituents, Protestant and Catholic alike, send them to the senate and house of representatives and to the state legislatures; they are appointed to the bench of the supreme court and to the president's cabinet; and in no case has their religion interfered with their loyalty. Considering these facts, it seems evident that if their church is no hindrance to carrying out satisfactorily their official duties in other important governmental offices, it should not nenounce their loyalty as chief executive of the United States. One hundred percenters must be becoming rare in Emporia. At least the Gazette announces that the American Legion "will attempt to sell an American, mounted on a 10-foot pole, to every house in town." APROPOS WHANGDOODLES William Allen White recently underwent an editorial convulsion when he read of the large sum of money America spends annually for cigarettes, Mr. White is of the opinion that man hasn't any more brains than a laced whangdoo with the toothache. It is our opinion that Mr. White is standing for the right principle but his figure of speech is all wrong. It has been discovered that whang-doode never eat of the loco weed, as they have in their makeup a special loco-detector. If the whang-doode comes within twenty feet of a loco weed, tree, bush, or fish, the loco-detector starts operating and immediately clamps the whang-dooodle's jaws shut so that he can't eat a bite. What Mr. White referred to, no doubt, was the whiffenpoof. The whiffenpoof wears a monocle and at certain seasons of the year the monocle glass becomes so bony that the whiffenpoff mistakes the loco weed for a nice cup of hot tea, and as he has no loco-detector like that of the whangdooodle, Mr. Whiffenpoof cuts the weed and bloody! he is an harty as an eye full of cinders and about as safe as a nitro-glycerin plant when the lightening strikes. Please, Mr. White, be more careful of your facts before you start writing. It is just much little slips as that which cause the steady subscribers to lose faith in a newpaper. I would have gone horseback riding," said Roderick, "but the flowers were out so I couldn't find a rose to put in my inelp." The Chinese are growing skeptic of our pretended friendship for them. They are rightly suspicious of the motives in our present policy. A feeling of minimoity is growing between the two nations, and this feeling is aggravated by press reports of "Chinese atrocities" and "Outrages in Nanking." THE GREATER LOSS The United States continues her imperilative policy in China. Our country may gain something by sending soldiers, machine guns, and battleships to China as an act of friendship to her while she is politically unstable. But, whatever we gain by participation in the fray, we cannot but be heavy losers.

ARNES, Amy LIBRARY DRILL The great loan to the United States will not be a few ships or soldiers or missionaries. Losses of this nature are of little ultimate significance, though they seem severe at the time of commission. Hostility between the nations will preclude the diffusion of culture which would obtain, by slow degrees, if the nations were friendly. The Chinese have a quality in their culture, their national and racial character, which is sadly absent in the Western World. The Orientals are masters of the highest and most neglected of the arts, the art of living. They know how to enjoy leisure philosophically, and they are never too busy making money to develop themselves to the highest levels. "Trump-tr r ump trump pit to dump dump!" all blended in with the martial music of fife, certainly makes a fine diversion for laboring students in the library. If China and the United States could have remained on friendly terms, each nation could have contributed something of cultural value to the other. America could have gained a more serene and happy state of mind, and China could have attained greater physical comfort by the development of machinery. But culture is a meaningless term to nations at war. Cars Chandler Day and Night Service VICTORY GARAGE Granted that the Chinese are backward in some respects, they are superior to Americans in their ability to live life to the fulest extent, and to look calmly upon the everyday problems of living. Americans are so completely in the throes of the machine age that they can not take time to enjoy the things that make living richer and sweeter. Efficiency, high speed, and mass production, are the keynotes of American civilization. About one a week the official file and drum corps of the local R. O. T. C, march around the library on parade to the rhythmic beat of their music. Of course if there were no other place on the campus for these soldiers had to practice it would be all right to use the green in front of Fowler shop for a parade ground, but the facts bear it out that there are plenty of other greens equal to the one now in use. What is the matter with using the stadium field or the ground back of the gymnasium to put on this essential part of military life? It is very disconcerting to attempt to study about the Spanish soldiers of the seventeenth century in Mexico, while a bunch of modern gum artists do their stuff under the very windows of the only quiet place on the Hill for study.
