Both governments take practically the same stand. As long as Great Britain continues to land naval forces at Shanghai the Chinese will not effect a peaceful settlement of former treaties and grants. The message has gone over the world that China is to blame for holding back peace. In repelling the recalcitrant Britons with their new overtures the Chinese are said to be jealous of each other. Japan is reported to be exercising an influence. For otherwise how could China refuse the generous terms Great Britain is reported to have offered? There are only two flaws in this line of reasoning. The first is that Great Britain has not chosen to make the terms which it offered to China public. Our only basis for judgment is the press reports, and past experience has taught us not to rely too much on implications of the press for exact information. The second flaw is that the British still seek to display authority by naval forces on one hand while on the other they are supplicants for peace. While Great Britain is probably in earnest this time, past experience has taught the Chinese to beware of such combinations from a western power. The Chinese are acting with intellgence and earnestness in the matter if they succeed in their present stand, a new ocpah will have been written in history. If they fail, the story will be reenacted within a few decades. The nationalist movement in China is an inevitable trend, and its fate will not depend on the outcome of one skirmish. Dumb don't's. The marriage of the editor of the Sour Owl was announced two days before the Lapland number appeared. The Sour Owl doesn't pay for these mistakes. JUSTICE Ax murders are generally gruse some, but the death of Anton Lisska was doubly so for it was his wife, assisted by his own 12-year-old daughter who did the bloody dead. "Horrible, cruel, cold-blooded" the newspaper readers will say. "Hang them, send them to the chair!" will be the unanimous cry, because justice must be administered and the violators of the law must be punished. Well, perhaps, but is that the end of justice? Can we send them to their death with clean hands? What of the heritage that this great society of ours bequeathed to this woman and her daughter? Born to poverty, filth, ignorance and misery, they were forced to live lives of wretchedness, hating themselves and the world about them. It was this wretchedness that discensed their minds and made flies of them rather than human beings. The husband, too, was little more than a beast, and when things went to kill them that "was going to kill them." That be was the life they lived, that was their heritage from this great civilization and if they are fendish murderers, they belong to us. We made them. Still we go on, making murderer SIMILES *Thy breast is heaped like mountain* *sovereign.* They check is like the blushing rose, Thine eyes as block as viper sneeze, Like diamonds do they glitter, I do not flatter like a fool, The diamond is a cutting tool, The rose is thorny, snow is cool, And snow are very bitter! —Anonymous in The Golden Book; and executing them, and we call it justice. We might well take a hint from "Red" Russia and if a few of our golden candelabra, goblets and vases, now used by the plutocrats to satisfy their own whims of luxury, were sold and the proceeds used for the advancement of society in the way of education and general well being of the poor, we might at least feel that we were on the right track. hat we were on the right track. Under the new law Katz will pay the tax—in Missouri—for many Kansas cigarettes. Pledges are using their heads this eek. Having them bruised and band- ged is one way to be relieved of hell well requirements. NOTHER INVASION Women have again invaded the territory reserved for men and have come out victorious. As a result an occupation that was restricted to men may now become restricted to women. This feat was accomplished by two girls about 12 years old, who noted as pages at the Missouri state legislature. They proved to be more efficient at the work than the boy pages, so that there is now talk of hiring only girls at the next session. These two are daughters of stat representatives of Missouri. The deposed group of pages, therefore might band together against the feminine victors, declaring that this was another instance of the Spoils System. Such an argument could be refuted by the women, however, by pointing to the greater efficiency of the girl pages. It is the merit system, they would declare, maintaining that the parentage of the successful pages was incidental. So the fight will go. In the meantime, the women will go blithely on, making better pages than the men and seeking new fields to invade. Twelve or fourteen suits were destroyed in a fire at one of the Lawrence cleaning establishments Wednesday. We wonder what happened to the fellow in the traditional barrel. A new means of evading without violating any present date rule has been unearthed by a fraternity at Drake University. Rules may determine the time that a party must end or may prohibit afternoon dances, but nothing is said as to the time when a dance should begin. The advice, "Don't turn your hany into a play-ty or keep it up late at night," given by the United States children's bureau, sounds suspiciously as though it were first formulated for the guidance of collegiate youth. This fraternity therefore concluded that it would be within the bounds of all restrictions to start a dance at 4 a.m. *M.* "a '4 o'clock Break Dance" was announced and Drake traditions were given a severe jolt. 'BYE, 'BYE, DATE RULE The affair was attended by more than two hundred university students and was chaperoned by several faculty members, including the dean of men. Early morning dances present numerous interesting possibilities and difficulties. Evasion of the date rule is not the greatest. The matter of appropriate dress for the occasion would be an absorbing question. Neither evening nor afternoon costumes would be technically correct. Here then is and opportunity for the modifiers to create a new type of apparel. But even this question of the proper clothing would not be the chief difficulty. The main objection to breakfast at 4 a.m. would be in waking the guests in time for the dance. Alarm clocks would probably prove inadequate. What he, for a new invention Baptist University Classes will meet in joint session Sunday at 9:45 a.m. Dr. H. P. Cady, professor of chemistry, will speak on "The Real Funda- tion." BAPTIST UNIVERSITY CLASSES: OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BUILLETIN BAPSTIST UNIVERSITY CLASSES: Campus Opinion CHARLES W. THOMAS. Editor Daily Kansan: In a recently written article a prominent trade king gives eight reasons why he considers college men as the poorest employees; 1. Because of their naive notions about business—or their prejudices against the business world. 2. Because of their laziness, irregular hours, desires for much time off and their casual attitude toward their work. 3. Because of their constant desire for underserved raises in salary in order to afford the necessities of life they learned at college when they lived on their father's money or borrowed from his. 6. Because of their pleasure-loving habits, fostered at college, which seriously interfere with their tackling a job in an earnest manner. 4. Because of their ingrained notion that they are of a different breed and therefore should be treated differently from the non-college workers. 5. Because of their lack of ability to perform the required reassured and practical deductions. 7. Because of their unwillingness to start work at a salary that they are worth. 8. Because of their tendency to be inexperienced, many women is offered them; in other cases, because of no sense of apprenticeship and of growth by degrees on merit, they may be forced to cause some of us to change our preconceived notion of what education should be. There is the tendency for the university product to consider women as an intellectual or moral paragon. We do not see ourselves as others see us, and therefore, we seldom capable of unbiased introspection. Perception is not care or know what is meant by the battle of life. Certainly textbook definitions and formulas do not fit it us. Inn't there the tendency for students as well as professors to hide behind a certain set of ages" or to give examinations or tell funny stories when we can't put them down. Also-- If a trade king among many others is the one to whom there must be something wrong with our educational system, the majority of the students, or the trade king. It's the clean suit that feels best. Aren't we all glad that the old semester is over? And don't we feel as tho we had accomplished something? Help along that feeling of accomplishment and start with a clean suit and a clean slate. Get Your Stetson at Suits, Overcoats and Dresses Cleaned, $1.00 KIRBY THE CLEANER 1107 Mass.
