TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1927 THE SENSATIONAL IN RELIGION When Aimee McPheron returned from her "kidnapping," hundreds crowded to her church. When the Rev. Charles Norris shot and killed D. E. Chipps, nearly a thousand new souls were gathered to his home. According to a popular advertisement, "such popularity must be deserved." The question is, should it be deserved? Are those thousand new members in the Rev. Norris' congregation there to receive his views or religious matters or do they attend that church merely to listen to a real, flesh-and-blood murder? The answer is fairly obvious and more than a little discouraging. If there is one place from which the gaping, iide, thrill-seeking crowd should be excluded, it is the church. No matter how sure of their pastor's innocence the Fort Worth congregation may be, they should refuse to let themselves and their place of worship be so exploited. The machinery of justice will not move any faster because the accused man is allowed to remain in his palpit. If he is, in truth, so innocent he should be glad to step down from the palpit, at least until he is acquitted. By not insisting upon such a course of action, his congregation does not make of him a martyr as they think, but make of him instead an exhibit in the side-show of Public Curiosity. Perhaps the student who used opera glasses from the front row at the Bowersock last night was near sighted. THE BEST WAY OUT The recent conferences between Secretary Kellogg and Senator Borah probably are the first developments in a tautful change of policy by the United States in respect to Nicaragua. The president, advised by the secretary of state, has got himself into a delicate situation and now the head of the state department is abandoning the policy announced in President Coolidge's special message. The secretary issued a formal statement yesterday denying that a change is contemplated in our policy toward Nicaragua. It seems probable, however, that the state department and the president must have recognized before this that their policy in Central America is not supported by public approval. When a man in such a position of responsibility as Senator Borah, chairman of the foreign relations committee, opposes so violently a policy of his administration, the people can not be expected to stand unanimously behind it. One of our Kansas City contemporaries explains that the recent policy of the administration is only "an incident in the working out of a great policy of national defense." It will take a lot of explaining, however, to show the American people why the "right to determine its own destiny can only be academe" for Nicaragua, or any other free American republic. Nations are only composites of their individual members, and one object of most individuals is to keep his dignity. We cannot hastily back up on our Nicaraguan policy and retain our national dignity. We can, however, keep our marines there, foster a new election, see the duly elected officials installed gracefully, and then withdraw with no more evil consequences than the distrust of European nations and the disillusionment of the American republics as reminders of our exploit. LAUGH AND SUE Make them laugh and you get sued. Such must be the conclusion of Frank Willard, creator of Moon Mullins and his Emmy. Sunday the cartoonist achieved the eighth of success for all artists of his comic strip. He succeeded in making some one laugh! Years of doer were rewarded. Someone had bought his work funny. Now nails, comes the news that the person so amused may sue the artist. The vicissitudes of Miss Emmy Schmaltz in Willard's strip were too much for the physique of a Chicago man, the papers relate. While laughing up原然 at her art they fratured a rib and may seek damages. Since Percyfield ran away with all of Emmy's money, it would be futile to sue her. As a last resort the victim must turn to Mr. Willard for compensation. Hard, indeed, is the life of a poor artist. He is paid to make people laugh and then has to pay when he succeeds. ON DUELING It will be less than a day's trip to a spot where any man may challenge the fellow who "beat his time" in the good old fashioned way if the Oklahoma legislature passes a bill now before the house. He may name pixielets, swords, or even poets as his weapons, if preference, he has not taken up the art of fencing as one of his extra curricular activities. For the bill just introduced is for the repeal of the law against duelling which is now on the statute books. It is an attempt at legislative housecleaning; the man who is advancing it wishes to clear the books of imperative measures. Even one's seconds and surges, if one does the duel according to Emily Post or Hoyle, will be relieved of the fear of a penitentiary sentence not to exceed seven years, if the present law is repealed. Oh, but there is a catch to it after all. Mr. Logan, who is sponsoring the bill, explains that if any one were killed in a duel the player would be charged with murder, or if one were injured, the other would be accused of assault with intent to kill. THE TRUTH WILL SURVIVE Trend of thought and opinion differ in any group of individuals. Controversy over important questions has been the result of these differences and in the end results have produced a better world in which to live. Although many revolutions have been waged and persecution of unbelievers has cost an inestimable toll of lives, in the end the truth has survived. Impediment to learning is an evil known to many ancient and medieval countries. Even yet this impediment is not altogether unknown. In Tennessee the anti-evolution law has been declared constitutional by the supreme court. It is not that the state supreme court is in error, but the law upon which this court must base its decisions is at fault. Nineteen hundred and twenty-seven years ago a Man in Palestine was persecuted and nailed to a cross because of the powerful views and the vast number of followers he had. This persecution was by unbelievers in the different ideals, thought and creed of this Man. Their way to stamp out what they believed untrue was to destroy the source. Christianity, however, was not to be destroyed. Last year the anti-evolution law of Tennessee, created through the fear of a group of people that it attacked minor religious principles, was brought into world-wide attention through the trial of John T. Scopes. The law itself limits teaching, and consequently learning, in such manner to discourage the solving of the CONVOCATION: A lecture of general interest will be given by Mise Kawni-Milak, in the militarism of central Administration building, at 4:30 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 10, on "The Land of the Rising Sun."

OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Kappa Phi will hold its regular meeting at the home of Mrs. Elwin Price, at 7:30 p.m., Jan. 18, instead of Wednesday evening. A very interesting program has been planned and it is urged that every member attend. JUANITA KIRKHAM, Publicity Manager. CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SOCIETY; Of the scenes, "Army" alone is noteworthy. Ace Brown, who alludes of the entire cast of "over a hundred" had a pleasing voice opened this number to audiences. The girls baren girls and the Royal Shifk Philipine orchestra, a string quartet, lent the proper oriental background for the wonderful dancing of the DeTorre Petti DeTorre and proved her套娃 and rhythmic ability as a toe舞人. The pair appeared in later numbers with equal success only faintly by Kimm and Ross, male partners and Princess Congo, the snake dancer. The Christian Science Society of the University of Kansas will meet in Merv's hall on Tuesday, Tuesdy. Jan. 18, at 7:30. tacts and abilities to evolution. Thus, even today, people are persecuting those who have new beliefs. Some scientists say that evolution of man from a lower form of life is a definite truth. Others are more conservative and consider evolution as actionin in stages of animal life. Many theories on the subject have been presented and many with solid bases. That there is evolution in some form is agreed by practically all who have engaged in its study. The Leeland Sisters did not please with their singing but served as good looking announcers and so added what Jean White detracted with the shamable voice and rotten dancing. No continuity was attempted throughout the program and at times the tiresome song continued to painful under the added insert of food comedy skirts. None of the skirts was funny and most were pass. Law and prosecution cannot erase trails. Through such methods of attack troop and research may be restrained and may be destructive in human progress, but the truth will survive. ETHEL HINDS, President. At The Theater From the opening one given by "Raddy" Wetzel at the piano to the last glimpse of a female outline the "Scandals" were thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated by those unertical and "leg-starved." As the free publication given by the W. C. T. U, at Ottawa promised, there was no lack of her exposure, and the troupe does carry a large choreographed fellow looking girls. However, she offered nothing of musical or dramatic merit, and with the exception of a few numbers, none worthy of mention. Staging and drapes were much be- bond that usually seen here, though not the equal of "Rose Marie." But for some unknown lighten- tigers. George White's "Sendaid", a musical comedy, was presented at the Bowerock theater last night by George E. Wintz. ing effect left a great deal to be desired; it was mirred by poor timing and by shooting from the off-stage flood lights. XXX As a pre-exam reofive valve "Scandals" was all right; as a musical comedy it was all "wet." E. S. At the Concert By John Snively Some of the staccato messages of Boethoven's "Coriolanum" were muddled. A lack of balance in the instrumentation made some of the effects seem incomplete. Nevertheless the moment of the two themes was interesting. It seemed to take the University orchestra a short time to lose its heliacity in making attacks last night but on the whole the program was in overtressing and well presented. The second part was the more entertainative and less demanding than the demand on the instrumentation and on the veratility of the organization. This does not mean that the first two numbers were not well played, Mendelsohn's "Symphony in A Major" was probably the best number on the program. It could have been the most interesting had the orchestra been versatile enough to sound the music as it would have been tended. The "Allegro vivace" was stately, the "Andante con mote" revealed good quality of tone, and a light effective accompaniment. There was fanatism in the "Con motet moderate" and the "Saltarelli, Presto" in the shading, in dance. But it was in the shading, in dance, that the orchestra could have been more effective. The "Inflammatus" from 'Stabat Mater' showed off the orchestra nearly as much as Miss Peabody. The latter was charming in her presentation and her popularity was well observed. Both she and the orchestra were any spirit of Mr. Kueperstein's arrangement of "The Cuckoo Clock." The orchestra seemed to reach its best in the two Tschakowsky numbers. The balance was good and the rhythm was clear-cut. The best shading was apparent in the "Japanese Sunset", but slovenly work on the part of the horns was a deterring factor. In the last group the organization played brilliantly. The savage "Call to the Feast" was vividly portrayed, "Lafetia's Dance" had a tantalizing rhythm and melody. The elimax was "Dance" and "Dance" the Warriors" that for a minute the audience did not realize the program was finished. Whitman's and Johnston's Candies When a person considers the difficulty in getting such an organization together, and the necessity for getting outside help, it is easy to see where the orchestra has accomplished something.

Handy for Students Editorials From Other Hills Working One's Way (The Michigan Daily) It has long been the fanciful illusion of those who have never tried it, that working one's way through college is an impossible job of character, and the means to an appreciation of educational value organized by the educational fundamentals that such is not the case, that John Jones who earns every cent he spends in his education but a martyr, that the hours he puts in washing windows, cleaning furnaces, or clerking in a store, could be spent on creating a leisure. Creation is no longer thought of as something to be avoided if the rigors of life himself for the rigors of after life. Especially encouraging is the stewardship ofapitus, student government or problem. A sum of $10,000 has been set up for a scholarship fund to support students to worthy students. Our own university is not well equipped. It will no be very long before they will be available in nearly every place. We should be encouraged. Philosophy, rhetoric and physics do not go well together, so we should encourage. College students should be free to enjoy the leisure of their school.
